Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 270: Wildest Dreams

When Lara woke, Tristan and Destiny were still sleeping. What little she remembered of the prior evening came to her in the form of Tristan tripping over the minor imperfections of the carpet as he returned to the room. Destiny had always been a heavy sleeper—which was a part of why she was often late to classes back in Venicia—and so she slept through Tristan’s bumbling.

No sooner than she had sat up did Wind come to her with a wide grin.

“Have I got some juicy informatio...

July Side Quest Poll

Everyone's an Option! Bringing all the guys back this round.

Thanks, guys!

Espada Best Girl Chibi Sticker by Comt

Thank you once again to Mr. Brogath for sponsoring this piece of Espada by Comt! It was great to hear that she's one of his favorite characters. I love her story.

There will be a short break between more of these as we finish up the art for Volume 4! Thank you guys so much for your excitement and support in getting these updated!

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 269: Bad Blood

Cannoli swallowed her nerves as they made their way to the kitchens. Rozalyn opened the door and gestured for her to step inside. For a few moments, Cannoli’s fear of confrontation with Muzhira evaporated.

Glimmering steel countertops spanned from one end of the room to the other, flanking either side. Pots and pans that looked as if they’d never seen use hung from the walls, all sporting the same copper core as the one in Cannoli’s [Cat Pack]. Four knife blocks with ten sizes eac...

June Behind the Scenes Part 2

Happy end of June! I hope everyone's staying cool. It's hovered around 110 here and every day is an "Excessive Heat Warning." We just move from one air-conditioned place to the next to hide from the sun.

One more quick thank you to everyone who's donated to the GoFundMe. We appreciate you so much. We're at 61% of the goal, and it'll stay open for the next few weeks.

Saphira Best Girl Chibi Sticker by Comt

This one was a long time coming. Thank you to Mr. Brogath for sponsoring her and Comt for another stunning piece! I love the sunflower motif and the little bird. She's too cute.

As always, art is for personal use only :)

June's Acrylic Pin is Tristan!

Since we just finished up Destiny and Lara, Maon and I wanted to do a Tristan print for the month of June! Vines seem to thrive even in the summer heat, and Tristan would absolutely take the opportunity to sketch a few down. I love that this one captures his artistic side.

Thanks to the amazing Maon as always for the beautiful artwork!

All Saphira Tier and above pledges will receive him in July! I'll be shipping him out together with Lara as soon as they arrive. Thanks for yo...

Yomi Best Girl Chibi Stickers by Comt

Yomi got both sketches done because we couldn't decide which one we liked better. One was sponsored by DiscountDan, and the other thanks to Janna! You guys are amazing! And Comt did a wonderful job incorporating Belial into each of them.

As always, art is for personal use only :)

Cannoli Best Girl Chibi Sticker by Comt

We had a sudden influx of Best Girl Chibis thanks to your guys' overwhelming support, so I will post one each day!

Cannoli was sponsored by the fantastic crazyday and drawn by the always-amazing Comt! I love how much Buttons art we're getting by proxy.

As always, art is for personal use only :)

June Behind the Scenes: Designing Characters

Juneteenth already?! Time has snowballed lately; it's wild.

Before I get into it, I wanted to thank everyone who's donated to the Volume 4 GoFundMe. We both appreciate your assistance and continued support of Catgirls, and I cannot tell you how much stress that's helped take off of our shoulders. We couldn't do this without you. Thank you so very much.

Now, Designing Characte...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 268: This is Me Trying

After Cecilia’s lesson ended, Cannoli made her way to her first hour of prayer. She had just a few precious minutes to find her way from the library to the temple of worship. Thankfully, a handful of other white-robed catgirls with varying degrees of embroidery and sapphires filed out of the rooms in front of her and silently led her to the correct doorway.

Cannoli tucked her hands inside of her robes and straightened her shoulders. She could still hear her steps above all the other i...

Ceres SFW & NSFW Full Res by AridanBlack

This month's NSFW art piece is Ceres sponsored by the wonderful Sir Galahad II. She'd just like to take a quick break while traveling. The armor stays on, babe.

AridanBlack did a fantastic job with the pose/expression on this one.

Everyone's a Catgirl! Volume 4 Fundraiser

Hey guys,

Ry and I talked at length about the remaining costs for Volume 4. We would like to ask the community for assistance in completing the artwork and potentially allowing me a few paid days to edit and format the paperback and ebook. We considered another Kickstarter, but with the large fees involved, the all-or-nothing strategy, and the full month I spent promoting the first one, it would cause more harm than help at this point.

So I've started a GoFundMe instead: 2024-06-14 20:56:27 +0000 UTC View Post

Sleeping Cannoli Full Art by Scissors Mori

It'd been a while since we did a Purrfect Cat Fact for social. Cannoli looks so cute in Scissors Mori's style, and I love that she has the pink bunny from Matt.

Ceres Best Girl Chibi Full Art by Comt216

A huge thank you to Sir Galahad II for sponsoring Ceres! The Best Girl Wars Discord update continues with everyone's favorite hot lady knight. Comt did a wonderful job capturing Ceres's confident smirk.

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 267: Soon You’ll Get Better

Alia drew a deep breath as she observed the stars from the balcony. The night was cold and dry, and she clung to her dark robes for warmth and comfort. The hour was close at hand, and it took great effort to still her quaking heart.

It’s just a man. It’s just a man.

She repeated the thought over and over like a mantra, occasionally brushing back the bangs of her long, black hair. It hung over one shoulder in a complex braid, the end frayed like a sprout. Round cheeks,...

The Devil Tarot Card Full Res Art by WhiteCat Art

The next card in the Catgirls Tarot set is The Devil! Janna was a queen and sponsored this one, and we decided that the lich from Volume 2 (Shi Island's arc) would be a perfect fit. White Cat killed it as always, and the maid zombie's faces are definitely relatable.

As always, art is for personal use only :)

New chapter will be up tomorrow!

Everyone's a Catgirl! Side Quest: Secondhand Thread

Thank you so much to Joe for sponsoring this Side Quest!

---

Cailu methodically cleaned the blood from his sword as he gazed at the fresh corpse of the Encroacher. Where he once found excitement in the hunt and the smallest shred of vengeance in spilling the blood of monsters, there was no emotion to be had. True neutrality.

The thrill of the kill had left him.

San Island’s oppressive humidity sucked the sweat from his skin; beads gathered and trailed down h...

DoubleBlind Full Res Art by Shira Valkyrie

Shira did such an amazing job on this piece. It's always an honor to work with her. And I'm so excited that she added all of my earrings!

As always, art is for personal use only :)

Everyone's a Catgirl! Side Quest: Just Be Yourself

Matt won May's Side Quest Poll! Please enjoy the chapter!

---

Matt was always taught that being yourself was more important than anything. That, as he got older, there would be people who disagreed with you or disliked you for reasons outside of your control. As Mrs. Johnson had put it, to lie and pretend to be someone you weren’t was a dangerous road to living an unfulfilled life.

Matt lived by these words.

Mrs. Johnson grinned from ear to ear. “Very good...

Ravyn and Sophia Full Res Art by AnzieYuzuie

This fits really well with the chapter last night. A huge thank you to PhantomKnight for sponsoring this piece, and the artist is the wonderful AnzieYuzie over on vgen!

As always, artwork is for personal use only :)

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 266: I Knew You Were Trouble

Yanni was a capable fighter but weird as hell. Her shifting emotions and slow uptake on conversations gave Ravyn whiplash. But she couldn’t deny that the woman knew her way around a sword, and Perception was a dangerous tool in the right hands. 

It still doesn’t beat [Fire Pillar].

The Party had agreed to settle in for the rest of the night. Their research and poison-making had consumed most of the day, and Ravyn wasn’t ready for another one-on-one with Emberly...

Behind the Scenes: May Part 2

Getting ready for Phoenix Fan Fusion the last weekend of May was a ride, but it was so much fun when we got there. Brandon Varnell was very kind to save us in a nasty pinch, and we sold Catgirls from a spot at his table.

Naeemah Full Res by AridanBlack

I've wanted to do a piece like this of Naeemah for a long time. I'm really glad that the Volume 4 release gave me an excuse. The SFW version print is included in the Art and Cat Pack Bundles, and the NSFW version can be added to any bundle for $10.

Everyone's a Catgirl! Personality Quiz & Buttons!

To everyone who stopped by the Phoenix Fan Fusion booth and chatted with us, thank you so much! You are the reason we can do what we love most in the world, and we're honored to have you here.

If you would like to find out your starting [Class] in Nyarlea, you can take the ten-question personality test here. 

For the results, we have seven buttons featuring 16-bit ...

Cannoli as the High Priestess Full Res by WhiteCat Arts

Next in our tarot card is Cannoli as the High Priestess! But, let's be honest, Buttons is one of the coolest parts of the whole card. I also learned a couple of new sewing terms with this one. Like "Shirring."

WhiteCat did a beautiful job, and a huge thank you to SkySom for sponsoring this card.

Behind the Scenes: May Part 1 - Building RPG Aspects

Strap in. This is going to be a long one.

Last time, we talked about building characters and what drives them as people. Today, we’d like to talk about how to start building your own RPG system for your story.

The systems are the last portion of building a LitRPG, and they are often the most complicated part. Oftentimes, the system is the glue that holds the world together. The system ...

Day 0

When I opened my eyes again, I was standing in a medieval-looking town, surrounded by men and women wearing loose linen garments who gave me little more than a nod as they passed. I quickly realized that my green jacket and jeans had been replaced with a similarly beige version of the people around me. It didn’t feel very hero-like, if I’m being honest.

W...
