Wanted to do a couple more quick sketches of Nezumi so enjoy these in the mean time^^

Two quick sketches of Nezumi interacting with other characters^^ this time Alcina! Nezumi loves to take naps on her head^^

I wanted to do more sketches but I didn’t have enough time unfortunately so I apologise for that!

Meet your resident castle maid Nezumi!

Fun fact! She is my current main sona and the first character of mine that I used as a self insert oc^^ I feel like she would 100% befriend Cillian

Other notes and more fun facts:

-She’s in a relationship with Cassandra

-Huge masochist (fits perfectly with Cassandra)

-Extremely hyper active (even Daniela has trouble keeping up with her at times)

-Her fox form is abnormally small but she still tries her best to be intimidating (kinda like a feral chiwawa)

-Loves lazing around and taking naps during cooler weather (her favourite places to sleep are with Cassandra and the girls or on Alcina)

-She goes by she/her and they/them pronouns (she/her are somewhat preferred but any can be used!^^)

-She most likely tried to befriend Donna but scared her half to death due to her enthusiasm and hobbies (vibes well with Angie tho^^ Donna tolerates her pretty well even so but Nezumi has to make sure to calm herself down as not to frighten her to much)

-Follows Bela around a lot like a lost puppy

I apologise for the lack of post! I’ve been fairly busy with other work as of recent so I’ve been trying to not burn out myself hopefully this time;;

On the bright side I got these concepts for a WOF x Res village AU done^^ I’ve had this idea in my mind for roughly a month I would say? And I’m happy to of gotten some time to begin working on concepts^^ I’m pretty happy with how Karl’s design turned out and Donnas too but I’m thinking of making slight alterations to Alcina’s (only her accessories really)

Incase anyone is wondering aswell here are the current species of dragons I have them each as;

Alcina: Skywing

Karl: Mudwing

Donna: Nightwing x sandwing

Cassandra: Skywing x Mudwing

Bela: Skywing x sandwing (possibly seawing to?)

Daniela: Skywing x rainwing

Moreau: Mudwing x seawing

Bela the gentle giant🐱

Ok so I got around to conjuring up this reference sheet for Belas older design^^ Been needing to do this for a while actually as I plan on doing a fair few mini projects^^ Now that I think about it I gotta do reference sheet for Daniela and Cassandra too- oh and there’s a little 2 minute Bela chibi too^^ She hates getting wet so Cassandra and Daniela pushed her into the bath tub^^

Didn’t have much energy to do any big pieces tonight after commission work but I did manage to do this small sketch of Donna and Alcinas first meeting.

Small recap on Donnas relationship and meeting of the Dimitrescu family;

Bela was the first Dimitrescu to meet Donna as they bumped into each other when Donna was wandering through their backyard, Alcina ended up chasing Donna off as she thought she was a threat to her daughters by the roughed up state she was in (this was just after she escaped the house and vet) but Donna ended showing up once again that night when a thunderstorm rolled in and she took shelter on their front porch. Cassandra spotted her first as she was looking out the window watching the storm and ended up running to her sisters and mother to notify them about her. Not to long after their owner allowed Donna in and got her bathed and cleaned up so she was more presentable^^ (since she would of been covered in mud and grime with probably flees and matted fur). Alcina still didn’t trust Donna but Bela liked her so she begrudgingly put up with her until she begun to slowly but surely grow on Alcina^^

Got around to doing a sketch of a small interaction between Daniela and Cillian^^ Came up with a couple of extra background notes too;

-Cillian is around at the time Ethan starts his rampage through the village

-I don’t think the daughters or Lady D would die in this universe though they would be accentually on their deathbeds at the very least (but recover ofc^^). Same for Donna and maybe the other cast?

-During Ethans rampage through Castle Dimitrescu after Alcina saw what he did to Cassandra and Bela she locked both Daniela and Cillian in the library together for their safety (Cassandra and Bela were taken to their mothers room and treated as much as she could do at the time)

-Daniela and Cillian most definitely cook a lot, mostly baking sweets (or at least they try to, 80% of the food is inedible)

-Cillian likes to find little trinkets and give them to the Dimitrescu lady’s to show her gratitude

-She will also draw them up little pictures and doodles (her first one she gave to them was most definitely a family portrait^^)

Introducing Cillian!❤️

I was lucky anough to get this lovely girl in a character trade a week or so ago and since then have decided to used as not only one of my secondary sonas but as my own maid(s) guardcat sorta character insert^^

Im honestly not super sure what role she plays in the story yet but I do have some general ideas and notes I’ve come up with:

-Cillian is a werecat

-They usually have their bangs down though she doesn’t complain if someone styles her bangs

-99.9% she is absolutely FERAL, hence her and Daniela get along swimmingly

-She loves to hang around Donna when she’s allowed out of the boundaries of castle Dimitrescu

-Nicknamed Donna ‘Flower’ (she thinks Donna is pretty and so is deserving of such a lovely name^^)

-Goes out foraging with Donna during the seasons, particularly enjoys picking flowers with Donna in the local meadows during spring

-She definitely makes lots of flower crowns for Donna so the knows she’s beautiful 😡💖

-She’s incredibly overprotective, will 100% maul a bitch no questions asked

-They consider Alcina and her daughters to be her adoptive family (which is recuperated)

-Cillian, Daniela and Cassandra definitely team up regularly to reek havoc on poor Bela

-They go by she/her/they/their/them pronouns^^

-I suppose she would almost act as like a guard dog (guard cat?), regularly patrolling both the Dimitrescu and Beneviento premisses

-Frequently gets into scraps with lycans

-She can mutate but only if she’s: A) Is force to and has absolutely no other options but to, B) Is accentually on the brink of death, or C) She hasn’t consumed the needed amount of flesh and blood she requires to keep herself in a stable condition^^

-One of her favourite pastimes in winter is to cuddle up with the girls and Alcina by a fire while Alcina reads them fairytales (majority of which Daniela chooses^^)

If you would like to check out her toyhouse profile I’ll leave a link to it here too^^ https://toyhou.se/11759733.cillian

Okay! While I’m working on some other stuff take these Donna and Bela sketches along with a wip of the dragon!alcina design I mentioned last night^^

Guess who’s working on a dragon!Alcina because I’m on a wings of fire hype rn👀👀

I’ll probably do designs up for the rest of the Res8 cast over time too. Didn’t realise how difficult dragon hands are to draw though oml-

Not Au content but have two of my lesbian bby’s in the mean time^^

Some more Donna sona content to sedate y’all for a bit (second is just a pelt reference^^)

Quick note: Donna doesn’t usually carry Angie by the scruff but does if she’s extra anxious because she finds it comforting^^ (think of Angie as like a support pet of sorts^^)

I saw @duskstarshit ‘s Donna and Angie designs and I just had to sketch them! Their designs are both so pretty and absolutely adore the idea of Angie being a mouse🥺💞

I don’t have any AU content to post at the moment though I did redesign my Donna sona yesterday morning so I hope she will suffice for now^^

I haven’t posted in here in a while but here’s a couple of sketches I just completed of my oc Aimi (bottom middle), her mother (top left) and biological father (top right)^^

Nothing to see here just some rando big cats :)

The trauma trio piece is finally done!

This is actually a redraw piece of a old drawing I found from way back in 2017, I’m not going to add it here though just for archive purposes^^

Brief recap of the trio for the AU:

Bela was punished by Miranda due to her finding out that Karl and Alcina were planning to attempt fleeing from the cult/clan. Cassandra ended up stepping in and taking Bela punishment for her though Bela did not leave unharmed, she was just significantly less wounded then Cassandra. I haven’t thought up a whole lot reguarding Daniela yet but a general idea is that something happened between herself, Bela, Cassandra and her mother which caused her to go and seek for praise else where. This eventually led her to being used by Miranda. Small note: Daniela is a people pleaser and is willing to go to extremes to do so

I’ll also note: The reason why Daniela is eager to follow Miranda’s orders so much is not only because of her need for praise and something akin to motherly love but also because she did not witness what happened to Bela and Cassandra. She of course saw the aftermath but Miranda had taken precaution in the form of a coverup (that Bela and Cassandra were attacked by a dog while on patrol together.

Accentually: Miranda bad, Bela sad, Cassandra pissy and Danielas just left in the dark about everything

Redraw wip of the trauma trio^^

Finished Miranda’s design for the AU^^ I’m not sure if she will stay exactly like this but for now I think she looks ok but don’t see surprised if any changes or additions are made suddenly over time^^

Wanted to do some aged up designs for the Dimitrescu trio so I started with Cassandra and Bela^^ I needed to get these designs done since a fair few of the other characters won’t come into play until they are around new warrior or late apprentice-ish age wise.

Because this AU is still in development I still have a lot of finalisations to do and concepts to work out but one of the first characters they meet next will most likely be Mother Miranda. Im not entirely sure how but I do know that she would of ‘taken’ the trio, Donna and Alcina in as members of her clan/cult.

Even though Mother Miranda is still in the very early stages of development for this AU I plan on having her play a fairly large role in the shaping of majority of the events and characters development throughout^^

In saying that please note that most of the concept notes in this post are just dot points of sorts so I have a general idea of events to occur in the AU and such^^

Design notes for Cassandra: I have two ideas for how Cassandra received the scar:

1. She got it was punishment for speaking against Miranda during a meeting (before the three were banned from attending them) and as a result got the scar as punishment for disobedience.

2. When Alcina and the four first joined the clan Alcina had a alright relationship with Heisenberg (in a mutual respect sorta way?), due to this a few months after they first joined Karl explained to Alcina his plan to try to take out Miranda (or to just escape) and Miranda overheard. As a result Miranda decided to punish Alcina by mutilating one of her daughters (since they are the most things precious to her) in hopes that it would deter any further attempts at escape or assassination due to the dire consequences if said attempts failed. She decided that Bela was to be used as the ‘example’, and unsurprisingly, Cassandra ended up attacking Miranda out of rage during the ceremony and as a result was mutilated instead in Belas place. In saying that Bela didn’t get away scot free and received a slash over her left eye (hence why she covers it with her hair.

This whole situation is also why Karl and Alcina ended up hating each other as Alcina thought that what Karl had told her that night was a set up of sorts and was just a lousy attempt to try and ‘get her out of the picture’ so he could be the ‘favourite child’ without any competition.

Bela design/character notes:

-She always covers the left side of her face due to the scar. (She believes it’s a imperfection and as a result needs to be hidden).

- Bela cares about her appearance dearly and that is why she became so distraught by the scar. She prides herself on perfection as she believes it will make her mother proud.

-She most likely blamed herself for what happened to Cassandra and try to punish herself in some way (not to sure how, maybe by forcing herself to work 24/7 or skipping out on meals. Bela 100% also would make or find things to give to Cassandra as apologises, most likely her meals, her ‘treasures’, flowers, ect.

The last two photos are design alts. Cassandra without the scar and Bela with a solid cream neck coat^^

Sorry for no recent posts! I’ve spent the last two days working on this and other projects so I haven’t had time to post unfortunately;;; Here is one of the current map parts I’m working on of which I’m using with the Res8 AU for!^^ I’m happy with how it’s turning out and I can’t wait for it to be completed!^^

The WIP has been posted to my YouTube and can be found here: https://youtu.be/8-y7IgBka2A

Alcina doesn’t like her daughters being taken away from her >:(

Wanted to quickly sketch out this scene for the AU because I’ve been stuck in my mind all week;; In summary of what’s happening: Bela, Cassandra and Daniela in this AU are foster kittens, so eventually they are supposed to be taken back to the animal shelter to be put up for adoption. Alcina doesn’t take to kindly to this and go completely feral once she realises what’s happening. (I recommend looking through my past posts with this AU if you would like a more in-depth explanation of this scene^^)

And a quick origin story for the three roses that she wears on her chest!^^ Accentually when they were all in the backyard the trio picked off one rose each from a rose bush and then gave them to Alcina as a gift^^ (I suppose as a thankyou gift and way to show that they accepted her as their mother? Idk something cute along those lines though^^)

Someone please for the love of god take my drawing privilege away, I keep getting distracted and drawing more of this AU aaa- (to justify this one though it’s for a collab so technicallyyy it’s work :)

More AU work but this time for Donna! I had done a small Donna design in the first post with the Dimitrescu sisters but I ended up wanting to play around with it a little bit^^

I made quite a few alternative designs but these are the final two that myself and another user working on this AU have chosen^^ Polls for the final designs are now up on amino^^

More Res AU content, this time with Mama Dimitrecsu and some extra law!👀

AU notes: Alcina always had a strong maternal instinct and being overall extremely protective to anyone she considers dear to her. Unfortunately Alcina is infertile and as a result is unable to have kits of her own, though when Bela, Cassandra and Daniela were brought in as temporary fosters Alcina instantaneously begun treating and caring for them like they are her own.

When her owner tried to take her daughters away once they were of age to be taken back to the shelter and put up for adoption Alcina completely lost it. At first she thought her owner was going to feed them as they usually did (as it was routine), that was until they begun to load the three into a carrier case one by one (that’s when the realisation of what was happening clicked). By the time she realised what was going on Bela and Cassandra had been loaded into the carrier, so Alcina put herself over Daniela, almost like a barrier and begun to swipe at her owner whenever she would try to get close to her^^ When her owner begun to back off Alcina moved towards the carrier so she could grab Bela and Cassandra. Her owner had tried to grab Alicna but ended up getting multiple cuts and gashes as a result (Alcina’s a manecoon so she’s a pretty big cat too so 10x the more damage).

In the end her owner decided to adopt the three as the attempted separation had clearly stressed Alcina out enough to lash out (She’s usually a very well behaved feline). Alcina wouldn’t let anyone near the three for weeks on end after that day but the four of them were happy^^

Some extra about Donna to even though she isn’t in this sketch: Angie in this AU would be most likely a toy she scavenged or was given as a present by her parents during her time in the hoarding house. Bela was the first Dimitrescu to meet Donna as they bumped into each other when Donna was wandering through their backyard, Alcina ended up chasing Donna off as she thought she was a threat to her daughters by the roughed up state she was in (this was just after she escaped the house and vet) but Donna ended showing up once again that night when a thunderstorm rolled in and she took shelter on their front porch. Cassandra spotted her first as she was looking out the window watching the storm and ended up running to her sisters and mother to notify them about her. Not to long after their owner allowed Donna in and got her bathed and cleaned up so she was more presentable^^ (since she would of been covered in mud and grime with probably flees and matted fur). Alcina still didn’t trust Donna but Bela liked her so she begrudgingly put up with her until she begun to slowly but surely grow on Alcina^^

Warriors AU sketches I did the other day!^^ I was supposed to post this on the day I finished them but I completely forgot up until now;;;

A few quick notes about this AU: The Dimetrescu sisters we’re foster kittens that were originally only staying with their foster family for a little while but Alicia got to connected to them and ended up going feral when her owner tried to seperate her from the three. So as not to get mauled her owner ended up adopting the three daughters^^ Daniela, Cassandra and Bela aren’t blood related in this AU but still consider each other siblings just as much due to them being together since before they could open their eyes^^ Donna’s mutation in this AU is instead a mutilated scar similar to that of Brighthearts, and she grew up in a hoarding house until she was rescued by the local animal centre^^ Due to living around so many cats when she was growing up for such a long time she developed severe separation anxiety. The hoarding house is probably we’re she got her scar from to, most likely from a horrific fight with other cats over food or sleeping quarters^^

Since you guys seemed to like the last Donna sketches I did here are some more^^
