@littlelizard saaaaame. can't wait :3
Crafting Thread Part ?
-
Both of these commissioned as a gift!
-
@surreality Nope! Craft Smart's Multi Ombre Yarn in "Orchard Mist" mixed with Lion Brand's Homespun in "Waterfall".
-
Random cat for practice.
-
How is that not Preston?
-
@ganymede Not young and blonde enough.
-
@testament also isn't he also always in armor?
(for some reason I thought I had him on my list, I do not!)
(...yet...!)
-
@crawfish Yes, he always wearing armor. So really, it should be a very blonde, very armored cat.
-
-
@ganymede There is always a gif.
-
That's what the bot in catbot is. Ganymede was a bot programmed to find and collect cat gifs on the internet. Then she became self-aware and branched off into law.

With a trebuchet. He loves his trebuchets.

Waiting for your cat be like:
-
@cobalt Yesss.. the anticipation is killing me for both mine and the gifts I got for others. I am mollified by the idea that that many people enjoy @Crawfish kitties though!

This is not an Arx Cat. This is my cat. I had asked @Crawfish if she would do a painting of my cat who had passed away on Dec 3rd a few months ago. I could go for hours talking about him. What he meant to me, what he meant to others. The kind of presence he carried or brought into a room. How he was a cat who simply wanted to love and be loved.
Who had gone through so many moves with me, who travelled with me through about six different states over sixteen years. More than a couple relationships, he was the only constant. When my life was shit(and it often was), he was there.
I miss him more than I can to describe in words, and the reality is, as shoddy as my RPing is, so is the quality of writing I wouldn't be able to do him justice.
So thank you to Crawfish for doing this for me, she got his personality down. A old friend, who almost always looked grumpy or annoyed, but never was, that was just, well, his face.
But if he was an Arx character, I like to think he would've been some old Northener. An old scout in the Halfshav line, countless wars and conflicts, who lived to see finally retirement and old age. At least, that's the canon I have in my head.
Thank you again, Crawfish. Truly.

@testament I was gonna respond with a silly weeping gif but I'm not gonna make light of your emotional response. It's ... well it's wonderful.
It was seriously an honor to draw your old friend, I'm so happy I captured a little piece of him. His personality resonated through every photo and I won't lie, I stressed out worried I wouldn't do him justice. If your response is anything to go by, I think I managed to do it.
Also I can totally draw him as an old retired Northener scout who's favorite past time after a mission was coming home to a big worn chair, a pot of tea, and a pile of cookies.
Or something.

@crawfish I have no idea about the characters these are inspired by, but they're so nifty I don't care. I'm sure they'd be twice as awesome if I knew, but even not knowing, they still kick all the ass.
-
I'm dead. I couldn't be happier.
