Hi folks! I haven’t been around on most of my socials because I’ve been busy with college, HOWEVER! I managed to get this up!!! A MAP call! :D
This is a concept I came up with inspired byClanzine!For those unaware I had a page in Issue 3 dedicated to my OC Nightsong and I got so excited about zher these last month I just wanted to make something dedicated to OCs like her! So enter this MAProject! Scourge’s Family Reunion! For Scourge related OCs! It all goes as long as the OC was made with scourge in mind! You can send an OC for people to animate! you can animate other people’s OCs! Everyone can participate in one way or another and everyone’s having fun :DDD so excited! Share this around so people who wanna dust off their old ocs or draw some edgy cats can get in on this!
Boosting this here, I won’t be able to post a lot for a while but I am managing to work on this! Might post the art I made for the MAP Call later. There’s 18 parts left still!
He’s just such a good character I had to find a spot for him and hey technically he is a leader! Other contenders I had for the spot were Bluestar and Onestar. Thought Absinthe would be a fitting drink for him.
i haven’t read the books in a long while and don’t have a clue who anyone past like, ivypool and dovewing’s generation are, but i have a vague grasp and even vaguer characters to go off of, so here we are anyway
-Jake is bi, polyam, and mates with Quince, Nutmeg, and Talltail/star at the same time
-all four of them are trans
-Jake’s mother, Crystal, really doesn’t like thunderclan because of the raid’s done in Pinestar’s book. she’s big, fluffy, and built.
-Crystal has a mate, (which is mentioned in her wiki) Mocha, apparently a brown town with green eyes. In my HC, he’s a former windclan warrior that became a kittypet after falling for Crystal and getting Brightheart-like scars from a dog that got into Windclan territory. He’s small, short-furred, and fairly calm (until someone gets wronged)
-Jake’s siblings, Ferris and Whiskers, are a class clown, troublemaking duo that got adopted together by their two-leg. Their mischevious, silly, and remind me of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer from the 1998 Cats production.
-Ferris and Whiskers are identical
-Jake is a cat who chugs wife respect juice every morning, and is very enthusiastic. i’ve never read tallstar’s novella/super edition so i get to pick his personality. Small, stubby fluffball who can’t speak clearly for the life of him and is very supportive of his mates and kits.
-Rusty and Princess were Jake’s first litter, then Quince’s three, then Filou, Luna, and Tommy.
-Rusty met Tiny and knew him for a few moons before leaving, and always felt like Scourge looked awfully familiar, only realising who he was when Squirrelflight was born with the same paw.
-the one white paw came from Mocha, then to Jake, then Scourge, then Squirrelflight, and probably one of her kits after that.
-Filou, Tommy, and Luna are inseperable, living right next to eachother. Filou is an anxious wreck, Tommy inherited Ferris and Whisker’s class clown-ness, and Luna is the more fighty of the three, protective of her (same litter) baby brother but still gets into playfights with Tommy. Firestar never met them personally, but they know of him through Princess.
-Oliver, Princess’ mate, is near identical to Cloudtail, except he’s massive. he’s calm, understanding, basically the Actually Good Father. he adores his kits and his mate. When Princess brought him to meet Jake, they got along immediately. In a human au, Jake instantly took Oliver on a father & son-in-law fishing trip to bond.
-Oliver’s parents were absent (father) and neglectful (mother), so he refuses extra hard to end up like either of them. Jake is the closest thing to a father figure he’s ever had, even if he’s just his father-in-law
-Ruby and Socks grow out of their meanness, and regret their actions towards Tiny, but as in canon Tiny (then Scourge) gets their apologies and pleas rejected.
-one of Princess’ kits gets an ex-riverclan mate when they grow up, i haven’t decided which, either Taylor or Zack
-Taylor is genderfluid
-in an au where Tallstar becomes a kittypet instead of leaving the forest territories, he has 2 litters with Quince and Nutmeg. With Quince; Myra, Ebony, and Blink, and with Nutmeg; Spot and Leopard.
-in an au of the au, if tallstar’s kits join the clans, their clan names would be Badgersnow (Blink), Greybelly (Ebony), Nightbreeze (Myra), Spottedspring (Spot), and Leopardscar (Leopard).
Be careful you don’t cut yourself on this edge. Yeah I felt like drawing a demonic Scourge, IDK why. Sometimes in life you just gotta have maximum edge.
Poor Scourge, he was such a cool character but then the fandom ruined him. I don’t really see him as a broken and tragic soul like most people, I just think he’s badass. Oh and you can’t draw Scourge without a disclaimer for his collar. Look, I know Kate Cary thinks his collar is purple, but I honestly don’t care what color it is. The great thing about art is that you can change and interpret a character however you’d like. I went with a blue pallet for this one his collar shall be blue this time. When I do his design (Probably soon) I’ll most likely make his collar yellow just to annoy people.
After A LOT of thinking and brainstorming ive kinda come to the conclusion that the blood clan mainly use bikes instead of motorcycles, although it can vary depending on what they find. Since theyre originally from the city i imagine that theyre preferring bikes, skateboard, rollerblades etc to easier get around by speeding between the cars in the cluttered traffic jam.
I wanted to give Bone and Scourge very different outfits because it would fit better with how Tigerstar mistake Bone as the leader during their “first” meeting.
A friend got me on some ancient shit. I started drawing 15 years ago at the age of 10 after staring the Warriors books. And I’ve come far from drawing just cats! But, I also never draw them anymore either. Which, is something I think needs to change. So,!!! Here’s Scourge, the second OG bastard.
