redraw of this!! idk who the original artist is :(

a two panel comic

on the first panel one character is saying “dude shut up” at the other character. the other character is looking very smug and responds “make me”

the second panel is the characters both thinking of different scenarios, in one’s imagination they’re fighting the other character and in the other’s imagination they’re making out.

🛤️🛠️ #cliff 🧰🌲
he/him 🪵 wolf

my oc cliff’s reference sheet!

there’s a front and back view of him, maw and tail closeups and a little doodle of his face.

the text reads
“cliff, he/him, wolf”
“likes: the woods, old cars/mechanics, libraries, camping, hockey”
“traits: guarded, mostly non-verbal, protective, sensitive, level-headed”
“6 foot 2 and resting grumpy face”

a moodboard of cliff’s aesthetic!

the first picture is a campfire with a pot cooking something.

the second picture is the bed of a truck, there’s someone’s bags and belongs and it’s taken from the perspective of someone sitting in the bed of the truck.

the third picture is of the dashboard of an old car, someone’s taking it apart and there are tools scattered around.

the fourth picture is of the sun setting through trees.

the fifth picture is wolf fur.

the sixth picture is of a forest, it’s a little blurry and there’s distortion as if it was taken on a film camera.

the seventh picture is of a pile of tools. some are rusty.

the eighth picture is a close up of a campfire.

the ninth picture is someone sitting on a moving train, their feet resting on the part that connects the train cars together.

an aesthetic collage!

it has lots of camping gear, tools, an old truck and some hockey stuff all on the backdrop of a forest.

cliff sitting by a campfire. it’s night, the scene is only lit by the fire. it casts a warm glow on the forest surrounding him. he looks content.

my oc April’s reference sheet!

it features a front and back view of her and a drawing of her sitting in a canoe. she’s a light brown and orange coyote with long dark brown hair tied in two braids.

the text on the ref sheet reads:
“hi! i’m april! she/her, coyote”
“i’m from newfoundland, canada. i’m an arborist and i’m living in a van to travel the world!”
“my favourite things are camping, ladybugs smores, hiking and being outdoors!”
“i am easygoing, adventurous, disorganized and curious.”
“i’m 5 feet and 4 inches tall”
“i love stickers and patches”
“my hair is usually in braids but it doesn’t have to be! feel free to get creative”

a big collage of april’s aesthetic!

it’s very green, yellow, red and orange. there are tons of trees and leaves and nature and lots of outdoorsy granola patches. also ladybugs! she loves ladybugs

a moodboard of april’s aesthetic!

the first picture is of a bunch of national part pamphlets.

the second picture is a lake surrounded by forest, with people jumping in and swimming.

the third picture is a wood cabin balcony, with colourful towels hanging up to dry.

the fourth picture is the trunk of a truck, filled with camping equipment.

the fifth picture is a dogs nose with a ladybug on it!

the sixth picture is a mountain covered in trees.

the seventh picture is someone’s hand in water, their wrist filled with colourful bracelets.

the eighth picture is a lake, with people on floaties.

the ninth picture is someone’s feet, they’re wearing very cute mismatched knitted socks.

a drawing of april on a canoe. she’s paddling and smiling. in the front of the canoe is her backpack! covered in patches and her ladybug water bottle with stickers on it.
