This is still a WIP, and I'm hoping to add more onto the dump, but I wanted to get what I had so far out: Name: Jay Gender: Male Age: idk how cat years work, but if he was a human he'd be around 16 (and so would Celeste) Personality: dorky sometimes, not so good in school, needs Celeste to keep him on track, can be very determined when inventing or in serious situations (if he sees them as serious), kind of sassy, acts confident, best friends with Celeste, very triggered when anyone is mean to Celeste but acts like it's okay when he's bullied, tries to control himself when he's mad (Celeste being there helps him), might have ADHD More info: Jay is a griffin-cat. No one knows why, but Jay is glad to be a hybrid. He has something no other cat has; the gift of flight. But Jay is hoping he can change that. One day he wants to invent a pair of wings that can be used by any normal cat (and once he's met Celeste, he wants her to be the first one to use them) To achieve his dream, Jay has decided to enroll in an advanced school, where he can take classes on flights. Jay isn't very good at school though and tends to get behind in his classes and schoolwork. The fact that he's a hybrid also draws attention and some teasing. Eventually, he met Celeste (still deciding how they meet up), a smart and sly girl who does extremely well in school. Jay himself still struggles with school, but Celeste constantly helps him finish his assignments and study well for tests. They have quite the cutest interactions with each other. ;) Over time, they've become really close friends. They consider themselves best friends, but just might become something more in the future. But for now, they enjoy each others company, ignore the teasing of others (they get teased for 'liking each other' as well), compliment each others personalities, and doing their schoolwork. And Jay is still working hard at his dream. He keeps testing new prototypes of the wings on himself, using his own wings to save himself when it fails, and longs for the day that he can present his greatest accomplishment to Celeste, and to the world. Even more notes: So I didn't explain much about Celeste. But she's smart, good at making plans, kinda fiesty at times, independent, keeps Jay on track, is a lot more serious than him, tries not to show any weakness, acts like Jay is a fool and annoying but still loves him for it (she thought he was extremely annoying at first, and is still annoyed by him, but over time has come to find his smug and dorky attitude endearing), best friends with Jay of course, also her necklace is kind of special, but I don't want to spoil what it is incase I win him and make a story with them. Her design is a bit of a WIP, so you'll see her design shift around during the dump. (The necklace was undecided at first, so you won't see her with it in every image) Also, if you're confused about the story please ask me! It's kind of just the basics and I jumped all over the place so it's confusing, so sorry about that. I have so much ideas for them but can't exactly write it out. Hopefully you get the gist. I might make a new description later that explains everything better. I really love him though (and them together), so thank you so so much for making the design. <3 1) Jay and Celeste looking at the night sky 2) Just a comic cover concept, the title is not final at all, it's just a test to see what it looks like 3) version without title 4) Jay's singing I guess? qwq idk 5) This is definitely not canon XD I was just using him to vent.. That moment when Jay is caught looking at Varian is legit my life 100% the expression and all 6) Just a colored piece of art of him. Not sure if I like it 7) a concept of Jay in a photo 8) a photo of him and celeste //w// 9) sketch 10) they're so cute together ;w; 11) Celeste 12) sketch (kind of like the concept here) 13) start of a comic concept idea (for when he finally finishes the wings and gives them to Celeste) 14) just a bunch of sketches 15) More sketches of both of them 16) aging concept for Jay 17) I love their interactions B) 18) Jay and a tower I guess? His school maybe 19) more sketches 20) very very basic sketch I think I have more sketches but I can't find them I'll try and continue adding other art of them though, so please check back on it before you do the results :) I also have lots of traditional sketches that I could take pictures of :o He's just so fun to sketch, thank you. I don't have confidence in my chances of winning though and hope I can find an alternate design for him.. But the things that define him would be lost. He needs his goggles, feathers, and wings at least. I seriously love goggles as part of a design.
