Description just a bit of practice with drawing faces (as I have noticed that most of the faces I draw look the same )

a little bit about the pictured toms.
-----
Tumblebrutus:
is an adult tom, older half brother to Bill Baily by mother and half brother to Pouncival by father
when Tumble was a young adult he had been recruited by Growltiger, to join him and his crew on the high seas though in doing so, leaving behind his mother and baby brother, Tumblebrutus had hopes of returning to them and being able to make a better life for them.
  being bigger and stronger than most toms his age Tumble became very useful to Growltiger as the ships bosun, and had quicly become good friends with Grumbuskin the bucko mate.
with Growltigers death most of his crew were either slain or enslaved, Tumblebrutus never returned to his small family, though they still have yet to give up hope that he is still alive!
-----
Bill Bailey:
is a young adult, younger half brother of Tumblebrutus and best friend of Pouncival though Pounce sees Bill as more of an older brother.
Bill Baily was only a kit when is brother left home, though he still vaguely remembers him. being an older cat their mother had fallen ill during the fall after Tumble left and with the first signs of winter she had passed leaving Bill Bailey behind, cold, hungry and lost.
in his search for food Bill wound up near the rail road tracks and with them brought his savior. the Ginger tabby known by the local rail workers as Shanks, was making his final rounds before calling it a night when he stumbled upon the helpless kit.
Skimble could tell that the young tom was walking a blurred line between life and death, his only thought was to bring the poor kit to the tribe of Jellicle cats that he called family.
Bill Bailey recovered thanks to Skimble and among the Jellicles lives a happy life and in memory of his brother, he is now known to those around him as Tumblebrutus.
-----
Pouncival:
is a young adult, and the half brother of Tumblebrutus by their father.
Pounce has only ever know the Junkyard to be his home and never knew much of his parents other than his father was the feline/anthro species known as Jellicle and his mother was an average ally cat. he was taken in and raised by Jennyanydots along side of Bill Bailey and Jenny's son Plato.
-----
Munkustrap:
is an adult tom, the son of  Deuteronomy, half brother of the Rum Tum Tugger and sentinel/protector of the Jellicle tribe. 
Munkustrap grew up being trained to follow his fathers footsteps and become the next tribe leader, though as a young tom Munkus didn't want to take on the responsibility of becoming a leader, he wanted to have fun with his friends and tom cat around with some of the females of the tribe. and in that carelessness he almost had been forced to stepped down to a tribe member that had proven more worthy to rule than himself, and only when it was almost to late that he learned the responsibility that he lacked and with it gained the trust of not only the tribe but of his father as well.
-----
Macavity:
is an adult tom of unknown age and of magical/supernatural background.
not much is know of this Tom's past, though it is believed that he may well be older than old Deuteronomy yet kept young through his ties with the supernatural side.
Macavity was once part of the tribe and wanted to become the tribe leader, while Munkustrap was young and proving to be unfit for the position of leader, Macavity lead everyone to believe he was a better choice.
it was only after Munkustrap had discovered that Macavity was taking some of the older and weaker tribe members off to different locations, raping, killing and leaving their corpses to rot, battered and defiled in ways that they would be unrecognized for entry into Heavyside and as Munk believed, absorbing their lost souls for whatever unknown reason, that he was forced out of the tribe and marked a threat the Jellicles both outsiders and to those within the tribe.

if you made it through all that congrats!!! and I'm sorry I'm not much of a story teller and I was trying to keep it short

Look at Macavity, being his sexy self. ...  *pets*
And oh my gosh. I really like your idea of Tumblebrutus. And inserting Bill Bailey as his younger brother. I think I'm rather in love with your Tumble. Hopefully he didn't die at sea! (That'd be my luck XD)

And pff most of my story ideas are choppy meeeh things. I do hope my writing is getting better. But as it's just a hobby, I'm not all that concerned with my writing being phenomenal. I'll settle for ...okay. XD

 beware the cringe worthy grammar that lay just a head

"during the late fall after Tumblebrutus left, their mother being an older worn out feline exposed to the cold and wet weather of the ship yard had fallen ill, Bill Bailey still being young knew very little about hunting for food or finding decent shelter for either of them spent most of his days trying to keep warm near his sickly mother, wandering only as far as his tiny body would allow in search of things to eat, which usually ended up being small scraps of food that had fallen out of the trash bins in the nearby alleyways.

Bill awoke one morning to the cold winter air greeting him as the ice cold wind cut right through his thin pelt, he knew he had to find some food for them to eat that would actually fill their belly's, so he stumbled over to his mother to wake her and let her know he was going to search for food, but it was no use. where his mother had been was only lifeless body, the cold had taken her during the night.

the young kit could do nothing but cry, cry for his mother who had passed and cry in hope that some one would help.
hunger slowly drug the kit from his mother and caused him to eventually leave her behind in search of food once again, it was only after long hours of searching, stumbling and falling that Bill Bailey had given up.
his small body no longer had the strength to continue and he stopped where he was and lied down near a rail road track, curling his tail around him self as he shivered in the wind."

and that was as far as I got before I decided to cut it

Yep those tissues were a good idea.

 Poor Bill Bailey. I ...I need to cuddle with him now.
I quite liked your writing style. Looked like a setup for his history in a forum application. And I love RPing so quite enjoy reading those types of histories.

hehe I am so very pleased with how Mac turned out in this!
I try my best to give more character to him than just a fuzzy black and red bad guy

thank you ever so much! I have had the idea for a while, since listening to Growltigers last stand. since Tumblebrutus was mentioned as his bosun and yet that was also the name of one of the yard Jellicles, I figured there had to be an explanation behind that.
that and the fact that most live Tumblebrutus designs differ from the video one, while Bill Bailey's design looks pretty much like video Tumble

(I don't believe he is )

X22X In reply to punkucats [2016-01-09 04:32:10 +0000 UTC]

I understand. I've lately been giving Macavity dreads. Which I love. I really need to try and draw just a portrait drawing of Macavity. I haven't done that in a while.

You're welcome. And I know. I always assumed Growltiger's Tumblebrutus was actually the father of the Yard Tumblebrutus, and died during a sea venture, and Tumble's mom named her son after him. But yours is more interesting.

....So if I ask for Bill Bailey's sad story do I need to grab tissues to prepare myself?

punkucats In reply to X22X [2016-01-09 04:44:20 +0000 UTC]

I have thought of that idea every now and then for either Mac or Cori but haven't played with it much
I may have to draw Mac with this design more often though and develop on it.. I really enjoy the Chinese/Japan devil/dragon feel it has! ^_^

I had bounced that idea about a bit, but the thought of a brother he may have known struck a bit deeper than a father he may not have memories of.  (also thinking Carbucketty maybe Tumble and Pounce's father? )
though t'is truly the joy of this fandom eh? tossing ideas and theories between each other to help the pieces fit better?

not sure it's not to terribly long as I stopped typing at an earlier point (so it isn't like a chapter by any means lol)
but my girlfriend said it was pretty sad guess it all depends on your level of emotion

X22X In reply to punkucats [2016-01-09 05:52:38 +0000 UTC]

I remember seeing a drawing of Coricopat in dreads. Can't remember who drew it, but it looked really good on him. I remember being surprised by that. XD
And while I don't like doing that much makeup for Macavity (*cough because I'm lazy*), it does look really good on him. The Chinese/dragon theme he's got going on.

Which is why yours is better. <3  (And yeah. that could be a good fit for Carbucketty. I've kind of fallen for my version of Buck on my RP forum. Which has him too young to be Tumble and Bill's father. My version would probably be the forgotten half brother that none of them would want. lol. But I could see Carbucketty being the father of Tumble, Bill, and Pounce.)  And yes. I love throwing around theories. Its so much fun to see the different backgrounds or relationships that others come up with. I think it's one of my favorite things of cats.

And wow. You know, I don't think we've ever talked at length before like this. ...We should do it more often.

I think I remember that drawing as well now that I think about it hehe could be why I think it'd look good on him .... for some reason I'm wanting to say it may have been one of Mu-nin's (probably spelling it wrong) drawings... but I could be wrong

Ha I think I may have only done 2 Mac face paints there's just so much black in the video version!
Thank you so much!

Can't blame you there! I do like Buck around the same age as Tumble and Bill as well. Hehe my ideas of the CATS do tend to change around based on my mood as well

It is so very fun! And it brings the fandom out of me more having others to converse with and swap "canon" ideas.

I don't think we really have much before either... though I was a lot younger 5or so years ago into the fandom (15/16 year old conversations can be scary depending on the teen lol)

And yes I fully agree!

I'm so glad that I can have other fans around to talk to again as I get back into this amazing fandom!!!

X22X In reply to punkucats [2016-01-09 06:38:02 +0000 UTC]

It may have been one of Mu-nin's. She's had quite a lot of DA accounts. I think Tantomile was done with dreads too? Though it may have just been a second drawing of Corie with dreads...I know I'm going to go surfing for Coricopat images after this now. xD

Agreed. I think I was so intimidated by the video's makeup for Mack, that I started off with The Jellicle Chronicles design/makeup for Mack instead. As it was more mellow and toned down. Its evolved a little since then. But I haven't really done too many recent pictures of Macavity. I do have a sketch done up of Macavity and Rumpus...but you can barely see Mack's face. Yep, I need to draw some of the canons again. It's been way too long.

Honestly, I never gave Carbucketty too much thought. I threw him into my NJJ story many years ago, but more as an afterthought. (Ohhh there's Bill Bailey, & Carbucketty as well as Tumble and Pounce, well better toss them in too) Lol. But I didn't really give him much thought till I decided to RP him on "After the Ball". I based his appearance off the Japan design for Coricopat. So he'd definitely fit with Tumble and Bill in terms of physical appearance. Anyway. I'm rambling. He's a bit of a rude spitfire. But I quite love him.

I agree. And pretty much anything can go. Depending on what production your basing your ideas on, and if the story is done well then I can jump on board with pretty much any theory. It's been about...8 years or so since I've joined the cats fandom, and 8 years later, I'm still hearing new theories and plot ideas for the canons. Its amazing.

True true. But yes, we should definitely do this more often. I love bouncing plots and such off other people. Even if nothing comes of it, its a lot of fun. Meh, who am I kidding. Half my gallery is from muse I got from ideas/plots/theories I and others talked about. Heck, I think Jellicle Scrolls came about that way.

YUSH! We shall pull you all the way back in. *snickers*  In my opinion. Cats is one of those "You'll never leave" fandoms. Once you get involved in it, even if you leave or drift apart from it, usually...it somehow slowly pulls you back in. xD

Haha I absolutely love the fact that this is making me want to do more CATS art and such! XD

She does have such lovely art though!

Can't blame you there xD I do like the way the did his design! Though I think one of my favorite fan designs for Mack was fav.me/d36x21i by Spectratherestless. It's just so different and keeps a darker edge to him as well as a little added psychotic twist

Yes there are many canon characters that I need to give love to as well!

That's pretty cool though... best way to get a feel for a character is to play around with em a bit and see what works
Yes exactly!

Haha oh yeah! We for sure have to do this lots more!

And I love that about this fandom though! Cause it's just so wonderful in itself that you don't mind being pulled back into it

Glad I'm not the only one whose starting to get hit with the drawing muse due to this.

Oh I agree. I think she left? Or hasn't been on in a while though.

Yeah. I couldn't quite get it as good as that. So I started just trying my own thing. It got to be like that for all my art Canon's or OCs. I use to be so...perfectionist. I thought I had to have my drawings exactly the way the Canon or OC was and if I messed up on a marking I'd redo it. Glad I don't do that anymore. And yes, I love Spectra's makeup designs. I think she did my Charna once. I miss her.

Yes. I'm actually really getting into Misto's character, now that I'm RPing him. But I need to give love to some of my OCs too..I just need to give love. Yep!

Yes! And I would reply or note you more about this, but I'm on the verge of passing out. So I should probably head to bed. I'll have to send you a note tomorrow, get the ball rolling.

I agree. Its a fandom I love being pulled back to. I've got that with the 4400. We have a love/hate relationship. But I never drift apart from it too long before I'm right back in there. xD

(Late reply )

Yeah.... sadly life tends to get in the way a lot! I don't hardly see half the people I used to know in this fandom online anymore :/

I hear ya! I mean I'm more strict when drawing other people's OCs but with canon characters and my own it's no huge deal
I miss her as well!

Very nice! I've never really RPd much to be honest (and really only with one person as far as CATS) but I've seen some interesting art/stories come of it

Btw I apologise for using so many emotes!
