Signature Progressions!

Hello Jammers, Arctic here! How are you all doing?

Today I thought I'd go through the progression of my signatures (at the end of each post) over time from when I first started blogging to now! Let's do this!

Here we are: my very first signature from back when I had my very own blog, and when I first started posting on the Animal Jam Community. I thought this was extremely cool at the time- I made it on Microsoft Paint, haha! Looking back, it definitely wasn't the best quality - but it was a work in progress (much like my posts) and was fitting for the time. I believe I used this for many months before moving onto my next signature!

Here is what I believe to be my second signature (it gets a little fuzzy in transitions). Personally, this is one of my favourite signatures to date. I remember being very proud of this as it was a major step up from my first signature. This one was made using PicMonkey! I used this for many months as well, and was very proud of it (and I still am)!

This next one is my third signature, I believe! This is one of my least favourite out of all of them. This was also made with PicMonkey! I feel like the elements are pretty all over the place and didn't end up using it for long before creating another one!

Here's my fourth signature! It's worth noting that in all of these, I would sometimes revert back to using an older signature for a while. Anywho! As I wasn't too happy with the last signature, I ended up making this one soon after. I still couldn't find myself liking any signature completely (other than maybe the second one!) This was also made on PicMonkey and I used this for a couple months!

This was my fifth signature. I only used it for a couple weeks (maybe not even a full month) before switching back to one of the older ones. I liked this one, but I didn't really feel it was
"me". I also made this using PicMonkey and this (along with the one before it) was me experimenting with backgrounds!

Here's my sixth signature! This is probably my favourite signature of all time with the second one close behind! I really felt like this was a great signature- I loved the font, I loved the maple leaves, and as Pouncing Cleverfox was my main animal at the time this was a perfect signature! I made this one on PicMonkey as well, and used it for a very long time!

And finally, my latest signature- the seventh one! I'm still thinking of making a new signature for myself. As you can see, it can often take a lot of tries to be completely happy with a signature, and that's okay! This one was made on FireAlpaca and has my new main animal on it! I've used this for a couple months now. I don't honestly know how many more I'll make in the future- we'll see where it goes!

That's all for this week folks! See you around!









No signature at the end this time- tons in the post already!

WIP Tiny Animation, Oh and More Warrior Cat Art

Hey Jammers!  Today's post is going to be a bit on the shorter side, sense most of the art that I have done this week is on another computer.. whoops!
But anyways, right now I'm working on a small animation! using Firealpaca which I got the idea from Sharae when I was looking at old posts and came across her animation post!
So rn I'm working on an animation of Lostfairy and TBS aka Newt from the Maze Runner Movies! aka my 2nd biggest crush but nobody will surpass Adam hahahaa 

I'm pretty happy with it rn.. Except the arms.....

oh yeah and the arms are going to get much longer 

I'll probably post the finished product next week!

The fox should have been bigger..

I'm just proud of the shape of the fox... XDD   

Anyways, thats all for nowwwwwwwwww

Some Warrior Cats Fanart I Made

Hi, Guys! I finished my digital art! So, I now have a new profile picture!

I also wanted to show you a few sketches I've made of Warrior Cats. Right now I'm rereading the Power of Three and Omen of the Stars!

This one's from the fourth book of Vision of Shadows. It's of Twigpaw and Finpaw at the end. I was sort of experimenting with Twigpaw's hair. I think I'm going to change it but I'm not too sure.

This is of Jayfeather, Dovewing, and Lionblaze. I can't wait to color this. I think it'll look pretty cool.

Thanks so much for reading! Well, have a great day and stay awesome!

Drawing some kawaii food/drinks

Hey guys/jammers!

It is me Violet here once again filling in for Sharae since she is unable to post.

Since I haven't really done an actual drawing post on here with something I enjoy drawing I though to do it today. I was originally gonna do a realistic drawing but I changed my mind due to time. 

The drawings will probably be simple due to timing. But let's see how it goes/turns out!!

First I did a couple cherries:

I drew the base.

Then I coloured everything in and added the kawaii face.

Then I outlined the cherries and the leaves. Then added the word... Cherries.

I probably should have shaded them. But I think they are good like this. Though I might shade them in the future...

Next I did a banana...

Not just any banana....

A BOLD BANANA!!

This is the outline.

I then added a face and coloured in the banana. Also adding the words bold banana.

I then outlined the banana and added some shading.

Lastly, I drew some hot tea:

I drew the base of the cup.

Then I added the tea inside, then the face and the shading on the cup!

I saved all of these drawings so that when I become a member again I turn them into a masterpiece. Luckily I was able to do that with the cherries, which I may add shading to in the future but im not sure yet.

Overall, considering I didn't spend much time on these drawings I think they turned out pretty good, if I had spent more time I could have improved the eyes and added better shading. I mean kawaii is pretty simple but fun to draw. If you ask me I pretty much love anything thats kawaii, and drawing kawaiiXD

Which one is your favourite?

Well thats all for today!!

I will see you guys next time an author is unable to post and contacts me:)

CIAO...

Blogger Signature -- Violet86271!

Hello, Jammers!

Karalee here!



If you've read myother post on theAnimal Jam Friendship Community, you'll know that my laptop is having some serious health issues (gotta take it to the Geek Squad or somewhere soon), and the oneI borrowed to post on has a bit of a sticky space key -- as you can clearly see.



It's Night Two on my new nocturnal sleeping schedule, and I haveto say I'm much more optimistic about how it'll turn out tonight -- there are no creepy house-at-night noises right now, and I feel great! (If a bit peckish. I think I'll gomake some noodles. Be right back. *movescomputer to kitchen, sets a pot of water on to boil*)



Last week's post was "beta testing" of a signature for Violet86271, and her feedback was a request for more fluff on the Bunny-chibi, cartoonier letters/numbers, and vegetation drawn in the foreground. I did all of the above... then realized that the background rather clashed with the vegetation,despite the fact that I sourced the colors from the background itself!

Tofix this -- oops, wait, the water's boiling! *goes and drops in two cakes of fancy-pants quinoa-and-brown-rice ramen* *by the way that stuff's still pretty cheap in spite of itself, you can find it at Costco if you're interested*

*sits down again*

*looks back at the pot -- it's about to boil over* 😨 YEEEACK! *rushes to stove, turns it down* *waits a minute, drains and prepares*

*plops back down with a plate of buttered noodles* Alright! let's get back to the sentence in progress...

-- fix this problem, I created a background that I felt fit inbetter withthe jungle-y color scheme,and also saved a version with the official Animal Jam background. Here they are! 😃 Ihope you like them, Violet!

*takes first bite of noodles* Mmm.





Official background...

...and custom-made background!





Which do you prefer? Leaveyourvote in thecomments! (Wow, three words in a row stucktogether. That's a new one.)

*wolfs down more noodles* It's so great to be able to slurp them up and make icky noises trying to eat big bites of them 'cuz there's no one here to gross out! 😆 I feel so FREE! *makes mental note not totake GIGANTIC bites 'cuz there's also no one here to giveme the Heimlich if I choke*



Yikes! Half an hour 'til bedtime already! 😯 Gonna have to finish up now! Don't forget to leaveyour vote inthe comments, and if anyone else wants a signature, please tell me! (I'm all out of requests again!)



Bye guys! See you next week!

PEACE!
LOVE!
NINJAAAAAAAS!

*finishes noodles* *slurp* Mmmmmm! 😊

GO LIKE THESE MASTERPIECES!

HELLO

    And first off, I know this isn't a great post, but I've been a little stressed lately. So I'm gonna start being more organized this year and  make my schedule better. So I can plan original, creative, posts & stuff. Anyway, let's explain this post. Today I'm showing you some masterpieces that I found in jamaa that SERIOUSLY need more likes. Whether the artists aren't that popular, or the masterpieces are brand new, you should totally like these masterpieces. 

 The first one is by cheetahgirl2007! The lines are slightly sloppy, but the drawing and art style's amazing! 

Look at this!! Once again, only 7 likes. Thewillowdreamer deserves more, because look at the design and it's fabulous!

And I mean, come on, her artwork's amazing! WHAT. A COOL. CHARACTER!

WOAH! That looks like it was straight out of the movie, and the shading and shapes are ON POINT. 

OOOOOOH LOOK AT THIS ONE! This artist has amazing art, and I really wanted to include it. Their masterpieces were actually really popular, but still, it's really cool! 

L-LOOK! There's so much shading and detail in that, it must've taken them so long. It's only got 36 loves, and I see scribbles in the art gallery?! COME ON, AJHQ! NOTICE THESE AMAZING PIECES OF ARTWORK!

Aha, yesss. This one looks super cool, the eye looks like it's dripping paint or a strange liquid. The blending and color combo just pulls the whole thing together, and I love it. 

Last but not least, milkyelpery. This wild cat's just AWESOME. Look at the detail and shading, it's just so cool! I love it, and you should check this artist out as well! 

          Thanks for reading, and hopefully you'll check out these artists that you usually don't see in Jamaa. Peace, Love, Ninjassssssss ~ Cookies

Clydesdales: Reimagined

Hey Jammers, Arctic here! I hope you all are doing well. I apologize for my sudden absence on Animal Jam and the blogs I post on! For a full explanation, check out my post here: http://theanimaljamfriendshipcommunity.blogspot.ca/2018/01/arctic-has-returned.html

Once again, I apologize for this! Now, let's get into the post shall we?

Clydesdale Horses recently came to Jamaa and.... yeah. That happened.

Hey, yeah, they're kinda wonky looking but they're a little cute if you really look at them... I made a decent outfit for mine too:

Personally, I think they look better as moose:

But really! They're not that terrible-

Is the chunky moose horse dabbing. Chunky boy no. Bad moose horse. no. please no. no. BURN IT WITH FIRE

*violent screaming*

Ahem.

SO yeAh. They're noT tHat BaD *crying*

Enough with the hate though. I decided that I would reimagine Clydesdales as how I think they might be in game.

Before:

After:

The neck seemed way too thick on the AJ clydesdales to me. It kinda surpassed 'cute' and became 'concerningly large'. Clydesdales in real life definitely are a stockier breed, but not THAT stocky.

I decided to slim it down a little bit in mine. It still looks pretty stocky, but more realistically so. (I messed up a little on one of the front legs though)

I also changed the mane colour. I couldn't find any pictures of clydesdales with their manes being the same colour as the muzzle colour. So, I decided to recolour the mane to match the iconic clydesdale colours. I also gave the mane and tail a shape touch-up to look more flowy.

Apart from the one front leg, I'm pretty happy with my quick edit! What do you think?

Overall I still like the new Clydesdales (or Fat Dabbers as my fellow bloggers have been calling them), but I definitely think AJHQ could have done so much more with these beautiful animals.

That's all for now friends! See you around!

Twigkit and Violetkit's Separation

Heyyy Jammers! I'm Sarahkey8, here to entertain you!
*crickets*


So yesterday I reread The Apprentice's Quest, which, if you do not know is the first book  in the 6th series (A Vision of Shadows)! The prophecy for this one is:

"Embrace what you find in the shadows, for only they can clear the sky." 

Sooo then two cats (Alderheart from Thunderclan and Needletail from Shadowclan, wow this isn't even going to be about art is it its just going to be me explaining the plot),
 find two kits in a tunnel, and they think they might have something to do with the prophecy and name the black and white one Violetkit, and the gray kit Twigkit. They decide to discuss the kits at the next Gathering, and at that gathering the clans reasoning is sense both Shadowclan and Thunderclan found the kits, both of those clans would get a kit. Rowanstar leader of Shadowclan chooses Violetkit, and that scene is very very very very VEERRRRRRYYYYY heartbreaking as Rowanstar separates the two kits.  
Uh this scene:

Art belongs to Pinkbunnygirl43 

And now that I just explain half the book, its time to tell you that I decided on drawing this scene!(XD) And wow I actually took pictures of from when I was drawing it and not just the finished product...    

                                                           

 

Its like.. a chibi Violetkit?? 

Rowanstar holding Violetkit. Then I decided the head was too small sense Violetkit was a tiny kitten when it happened XD 

Better. WE NEED A THINNER BRUSH HER MOUTH DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT.

Starting on Twigkit! 

*realizes Twigkit is way bigger then Violetkit* 

May work on that later..

 

Completely changed Twigkit's shape. (Also I'm terrible at adding desperation to the eyes ehe)  

 

And now starting on Mistystar and Onestar!

Hm..

Mistystar looks a bit too happy..

Added Bramblestar! 

Added Alderheart... now for mroe of a background! 

Annnnnnd done! 

If you want a copy, just let me knowwww XD

That's all for now! 

Byeeeeee! 

Edit: When you realize Bramblestar and Alderheart dont have whiskers
