A beautiful floating island concept by @meowzersowo.bsky.social! What would you like to see more of next?

Digital illustration of a floating island in the sky. The island is tipping to the left with a big tree growing on the right. Two winged cats are on the floating island, with one of them on the tree.

Some gorgeous Moonpool concepts by Braver!

Since floating islands are a major part of the environments within #soaringthree, the second concept explores the idea of the Moonpool's waters flowing from them.

Behind the waterfall is also the den of someone very important... can you guess who it is?

Digital illustration of the Moonpool from Warrior Cats. Depicted is a pile of rocks with bright blue water flowing into a pool in the middle with the reflection of the moon shining inside it. There is text on the top that says "Moonpool".

Digital illustration of the Moonpool from Warrior Cats but with islands floating in the air above it. The floating islands are connected with vines and bright blue water is flowing from one of them into the Moonpool below. Surrounding the pool are rocks piled on top of each other. There is text on the left side that says "Moonpool 2.0".

Happy #IndieAnimationDay! Here's a doodle I did of Jayfeather (paw) for @soaringthree.bsky.social as practice for drawing in-style ✨️

This was of course a huge obstacle, seeing as our cast consists of winged cats. So with help from the lovely @showtunecockatoo.bsky.social and Wind we managed to rework the wings into what you see now, illustrated by @rosia4309.bsky.social! What do you think of these new wings? Let us know! (2/2)

After we finished our art style, our artists found that the old wings were hard to work with and not very anatomically accurate. (1/2)

We've been revamping the wings of our style behind the scenes!

Digital illustration of Blackstar, a senior black-and-white cat amber eyes. He is looking at the camera menacingly with his wings spread out.

After nearly 2 years of pushing through development with many obstacles and members coming and going, we're proud to finally reveal our official art style, illustrated by @rosia4309.bsky.social and created by SpoopyWingedSpawner! ✨️🎉

(NOTE that these character designs are NOT official!)

Digital illustration featuring Brightheart, a white-and-orange molly cat with massive facial scarring, and Jaypaw, a small, blind blue tom cat. Brightheart is looking nervously down at Jaypaw, smiling encouragingly, but Jaypaw is walking away, irritated.

Digital illustrations of a few cats. In the middle is a brown cat with wings and bird feet in place of its back paws. In the top right corner are headshots of an orange cat and a black one.

Below are notes that read:
"Nose always has a nosebridge, like a beak."
"Top fangs are "flesh" and are always visible."
"Face shapes can be inspired by birds."

Digital illustration of several winged cats with bird feet in place of their back paws. A smiling gray tabby cat with orange patches is standing in the middle. A gray-and-green cat with a mouse in its mouth is in the top right corner, and below it is a colorpoint one sitting down and looking worried. To the left of the canvas is a dark gray spotted cat looking up at something, fascinated. There are notes scattered around expanding on the art style.

Digital illustration of Hawkfrost, a brown-and-white winged cat with an evil grin, flying across the canvas. Bird feet can be seen in place of his back paws. Sketches of side profiles, paws, and bird feet belonging to him are left on the right side of the screen.

A list of notes say:
"'Movement' lines in feathers & tail fur"
"Very tall toes"
"Sharp sharp shape language"
"Slitted pupils"
"Probably clinically insane"
