Small note because some people (my irl friends heh) got confused on which I drew! The one titled (design) is actually the design by @Tudalu, not me! - Note two lol: looking back at this a few weeks later, I see so many things that I could've done better. But that's the point of art, the journey of improvement :). yes that was very cringe, I know. - Finished full body!! Might add some doodles hehe :D - Press space or click to progress! - I'm quite happy with the results, though the art style kind of changed from the head shot to the full body lol - WARNING: LONG LORE, SKIP IF YOU'D LIKE Note: she's not actually evil lol, just wants what she thinks is best for mortals Please meet Lolicia, a prophet for and bringer of omens. Long ago, she was sent to deliver a prophecy, one that the high authorities hoped would quell the hatred in the living souls. Lolicia did as she was asked, though was never able to return back up into the sky. She had made one fatal error: give the prophecy to the wrong person. The living became selfish and more spiteful than ever before, and before Lolicia's very eyes, turned on one another. She watched as sister turned on brother and fathers turned on mothers. That day, Lolicia realised how foolish mortals were, how their first instinct was to hoard and steal, and how quickly death could claim so many for a single one's wrongdoings. She vowed to never make the same mistake again. Never again would an omen fall into the wrong paws. With the help of angels like herself, she dethroned the creator of prophecies, and crowned herself the Bringer of Omens. Mortal minds were never meant to be foolishly filled with hope, so she carved dreams of fear and anguish, visions of terror and betrayal. She started seeing too many outcomes, obsessing over creating the right one, of eliminating all others. So overcome by this obsession, Lolicia called upon whichever all-seeing being saw her, and wished for her dreams to be fulfilled. When she next saw her reflection, she had changed: feathers were sprouting from the sides of her head, and a star filled her eye where the deep blue usually watched. Lolicia was filled with glee as the wings grew further, encasing her like a mock crown. The next time she gazed into the Puddle of Stars and into the world below, she saw all that she had worked towards. Cats had stopped trusting their own instincts, emotions and ambitions. They waited for a sign. They searched the skies before making choices. They begged the stars for answers to questions they once would have answered themselves. Fear spread between clans and kin alike, for none wished to be the cat who defied an omen. At last, the living had learned. No longer would careless paws twist prophecy into ruin. No longer would selfish hearts destroy themselves through greed and impulse. Their fates now rested within her talons alone, where they could be guided toward the correct future. She softened some futures and sharpened others, whispering false warnings into sleeping minds and planting dread within the hearts of those she deemed dangerous. Cats destined for greatness vanished beneath fearful prophecies, while others were raised like chosen saviours beneath her careful gaze. The world below came to fear the stars as much as they worshipped them. And from high above, crowned in stolen feathers and blinded by the star within her eye, Lolicia watched with quiet satisfaction. - Wowie, I love her design so much <3. I hope it's ok I changed her quite a bit, she's still recognisable though. I left out the coloured tuft ends because I had zero idea how I'd implement them... - Anyways, this took 45 minutes, I had to estimate a bit because the sketch was made on paper. The full body was roughly three and a half hours, art block was art blocking lol Hope you like her <3 - Art by me, Designed and currently owned by
