Free Named Fan Character Ref Sheet Base

Published:
1.3K Views

Description

This has been created to raise awareness for the Ratha's Creature graphic novel fundraiser! [link]
There are only FOUR DAYS LEFT! Please support! :) [link]
The official DeviantArt group :iconclan-ground: for Ratha and the Named series by Clare Bell (~rathacat) has a folder for fan-created characters.
Ratha's Creature is an award-winning novel about a prehistoric cat who tames fire (the "creature"). Many fans over the years have been inspired to create art and fan characters of their own. I know there may be more readers of the series who may want to make unofficial, fan character clan cats who live in the same setting as Ratha and her friends, but do not have the resources to do so.

This reference sheet is a free base so that you can, if you do not want to draw a Named clan cat from scratch, create one on this base. I worked hard to make it friendly to the Paint Bucket tool in MS Paint (which is why the lines look so horribly harsh) but if you click "download" you can also have the original .PSD file which should work in most graphics editing programs. (Let me know if it gives you any trouble.)
Feel free to modify it however you need to to make it fit your character!
You can even use it to raise awareness for the kickstarter yourself if you are participating in the Ratha Challenge [link]!
All that I ask is that you do not claim that you personally created the lineart and do not use it to sell adopts here on DA or anywhere else. Please also give credit to what it is from (the Named Series and/or Ratha's Creature by Clare Bell) and not just treat it like some random lineart, even if you do use it for a non-Named character.

I based the anatomy on what I am seeing the artists for the comic develop. :)

Ah, this is clever and sweet! You did a wonderful job of portraying a clan cat: excellent feline anatomy; long, expressive tail; a look of purpose in the eye, and an agile but powerful body. Sooo cool! I hope people find this and make lots of clan characters of their own. :w00t:
