Crossing the Geekdoms 9 (Goldfeather and Silverwing's kits revealed!)

Soulsilver jumped into a hunter's crouch and swayed his heavily plumed tail into the air."Come on, sis, let's play."
The golden cat sat stiffly and peered out of the corner of her eye at the large silver tom. "No," she hissed, her orange eyes sternly narrowed. "What if our mentors are watching?"
Her brother took no notice of her disapproval and chuckled. "You're such a stick in the mud, Heartgold."

- The Clear Bell chimed, two warriors appeared for a challenge!

Hi, again. You remember Goldfeather and Silverwing had kits? OF COURSE YOU DO. I had mentioned them awhile ago as Apprentices. I had finished their drawings, but I figured they had waited long enough and made them Warriors: Heartgold and Soulsilver!

Flutter-tea (My Little Pon-tea: French Roast is Magic)

"I-I'm just going to sit in this teacup... if that's alright with you."

Dedicated to my non-brony friend. I'm going to "Love and Tolerate" your opinion that Ponies are of the Devil.

Ni hao! (The title of this post got a bit outta hand...) D'aaw, Fluttershy is so cute in her little teacup. I even edited the lineart so that the colors match.

*Backstory* I was hanging out with a bunch of high school friends. One of my friends and I are Bronies (fans of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic who are considered overage by society) and one of my other friends, let's call her "Jackie", said that the show was weird and she hated it. Naturally, I was shocked and asked her to elaborate. She didn't, but Jackie later said it wasn't her cup of tea. Therefore: Ponies in teacups.
A few friends have been waiting for this particular post; thanks for your patience.

Whiteflare and Blackbolt's kits (X-ing Geekdoms 8 part 2)

(from left to right) Truthkit, Idealkit, (in the back) Greykit

-"Umm... Explanation?"

Gladly. Okay, in a linear fashion and reviewing the facts you should know:
1. Jen draws the versions of the Pokemon videogames personified as cats. Duh.
2. Pokemon videogames can be grouped together in what fans call "Generations". Correct. I've been releasing images in these groups for a few months now.
3. Each "Generation" is usually made up of 2 new games released to the masses at the same time and then a year later 1 remake of the two games is created (ex. Gold version and Silver version released together and, one year later, Crystal version is released). The first two game plots are similar in subject matter and the remake has a slightly different retelling. HOLD IT!!! This part is important!

Now, the latest generation of Pokemon (Gen5) came out with two games as usual (Black and White). Fans therefore expected a third installment of the games to come out: Fans referred to this as Pokemon Grey. Then surprise! Fans found out that instead of one remake, we got sequels, 2 versions of sequels (Black 2 and White 2). Grey was nothing but a fan dream quickly dashed for these new sequels.

In my situation, I was going to draw a Greykit for the release of the remake, but was given to sequels instead. So I made Truthkit and Idealkit (named after the conflicting forces of the Generation 5 games), but what about poor Greykit? I used my creativity and got this story idea for these three!
Whiteflare and Blackbolt, both newly appointed warriors of PocketClan, were blessed with a litter of three kits: Truthkit, Idealkit, and Greykit. Unfortunately, Greykit was small, sickly, and rarely cried. Crystalwhisker, the Medicinecat, tried her best but the young tom did not survive his third day of life. The whole clan from apprentice to Redstar, mourned the loss of young life, but everycat carried a spark of hope because they knew that the kit was watching them from the safety of Starclan...

- Awwwwww

Hi, interneters! THE SEMESTER'S FINALLY OVER. Now I'm going to relax and post some pictures.
This is Blackbolt and Whiteflare (Purr-sonas for Pokemon Black and White games). They are the most recent warriors to Pocketclan and already PARENTS (Coming sooon)?! Whiteflare might need work, her back legs are considerably shorter than her front legs...

- No more, "Come @ me, bro!"

Hello again, nya!
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR SO LONG and now it's finally done! My new Blogger Profile Pic! Isn't it cute? I even have my beloved red pencil with me. The "Come @ me, bro!" pic has been long over due for replacement and can now ease into retirement. *sighs at own achievement which she never does enough*

Hey, Wade, take a look at this!

- Not so Cat-a-strophic! Haha. *gets shot in the head*

¡Hola, Espectadores!
Okay, no more Spanish. Here's a little (relatively speaking) character page I drew for a game I have yet to play: Gamma Wars! Imagine Dungeons and Dragons but set in pre-apocalyptic times when crazy mutated beings go wild. She's a Felinoid (part of the sphyx variety) and has a great backstory. And look! Textures! She doesn't have a name just yet, but her design reminded me so much of Wade's sci-fi idea for this semester that I thought I would post it.

The Masters' Wall

The Original Four: Gale the horse, River the wolf, Blaze the stag, and Stone the Lion

- "A post about your class assignments, you say? I am amazed and in awe, madam!"

Here a post, there a post, everywhere a post post!

I'm hoping to use this drawing in my final for 2D animation. It's so cool! Now it just needs color and a texture and then it's good to go! Well, it would if I could put color in the assignment...

Crossing the Geekdoms 7 (Generation 4)

Diamondclaw

Pearlbubble

Platinumtail

-... I got nothing! Pokemon games as Warrior Cats, everybody!

Third post in a row! Let's keep it rolling! Diamond and Pearl are so cool as cats. BUT Platinum's design needs more work (better lineart for a start).
Also, fun fact, Pearlbubble's eyes is an actual cat eye color call Ojos Azules (a rare mutation found in feral cat genes causing cornflower blue eyes). I do my research.
Lastly, the naming of cats is a difficult matter (laughs, but no one gets the reference) especially with Generation 4 game titles. Thankfully that changes for Generation 5... :)

Crossing the Geekdoms 6 (Generation 3)

Rubypelt

Sapphiresky

Emeraldeyes

- Jen used Sketch! It was super effective!

Hello, people.

Just finished the three cats from Generation 3! Rubypelt's front leg is a bit wonky. WRAAA! (OCD powers activate!) Emeraldeyes is sooo pretty though. I was originally going for a spotted tabby for her look, but then I realized that I didn't have any tortoiseshell or calico cats so there you have it! And maybe, just maybe, she'll be a mother in a few months or so (Generation3remakeistotallyinprocess). Until then, let's just leave them be.

Hola, Amigos.

More from my Crossing the Geekdoms collection. And lemmie just say... Crystalwhisker's eyes were obnoxious to do. I used the gradient tool to get that gradual change from brown to green. Never again.

I'm in the process of drawing of a Heartpaw and a Soulpaw as well, so stay posted!

Welcome (for the 2nd time)!

Hi everyone, new viewers and old alike!

Quick intro: My name is Jen Miller and I have a mind like an animator. I tend to sketch in the margins of notes during class, make pop culture references, and watch a lot of cartoons. This Blogger you're reading is where I put my animations, drawings, sketches, photoshop images, etc. for class and for my own amusement.

Currently I'm working on an idea for the advanced 2D animation class that I now know was a lot to chew. I'm going to attempt to sum it up in about two paragraphs:

Element Masters: Kibo's Strong Foundation

In a parallel earth, very similar to our own, there is a legend of the genesis. The One created everything, the living and the non-living, the animals, humans, and the spirits who lived to serve him. One day, a spirit rebelled and was imprisoned under the earth. Man let him out and severed ties with The One when the Twisted spirit used his power to turn nature against Man (Floods submerged the north, Earthquakes shook the south, Tornadoes plagued the west, Fire burned the East). Four animals, Wolf, Lion, Deer, and Horse, begged The One to forgive the humans and to let them lead the humans back to Him. The One agreed to their noble request and gave each of them the power over the elements to save man from the Twisted's destruction.

This Legend is true.

Several centures passed and now a young lion named Kibo is learning from his father how to control is powers and how to become king. However, something is causing chaos among the Elemental Masters and their families and Kibo is no exception. How will the young apprentice meet the challenge and who is behind the chaos that is consuming the Masters?

Crossing the Geekdoms 4

- Redstar quietly watched his growing clan. With his mentor in the Elder's den and his own kits now young warriors, he began to feel his age. However he gained comfort in knowing that at least his clan was growing stronger with each passing season...

Hi everyone who reads these blogs like there is no tomorrow,

I finally put my Gen1 clan cats together in one image! I also experimented with highlights and shadows again... went a little overboard on the highlights on Redstar and Bluewater's faces. eeeh... Also fixed Firered and Leafgreen's lineart and colors (mainly on the eyes where I placed the highlight on the lower part of the eye). Looks so cool *squee*... Now for sleep.....

Hi everyone. FINALLY DONE. That is nearly all the characters. However, I did not make anymore character sheets. One running out of time. And two running low on patience. They're not that important anyway. Two are newborn infants that I don't plan having move in more than one perspective and the others are not that necessary.

Hi everyone,

I'm soooooo tired from this weekend of sketching characters! NEVER AGAIN WILL I HAVE A CAST OF 25+ CHARACTERS... NEVER! Okay so this is the part uno group of characters (I'm a writer first, animator second). Not sure if I want to do the second part of this story... more like I don't know when I'll make time to do it! I guess I'll try anyway... expect part 2 right away. I even put them in order for you and added almost TV-tropes to them to define their character (TV-tropes is sooo addicting).
