hi, hello welcome to my first hexing challenge.
your objective is to create a hex featuring... ADDBALL WHISKAS yay.

The Rules
you may use any base you'd like, this includes dogz, catz, babyz or even oddballz. brexing is also allowed.
you cannot use basegame whiskers, you have to make your own.
what constitutes as whiskers will be left up to the hexers discretion, though.
you may use external textures, palettes, or premade bases (but whiskers have to be done by you!)
there will not be a vote at the end-- i'd like to see if scuffing the voting makes people more inclined to give it a shot.
however! ALL participants will receive a custom of one of my Coterie Cats (pictured)

deadline is tentatively September 15th, may be shortened if there is little interest.

when you've completed and submitted your entry, please fill this out to receive your Coterie Cat

Bad Whisker Day Catz

This is my very first catz hexie! I've always been a dogz hexer and wanted to get out of my comfort zone. The base is my favorite catz breed, the Russian Blue. With my entry I didn't want to just include whiskers but I wanted them to be the main focus of the cat. There was no plan the whole way through except...whiskers. This was definitely an unplanned litter. :lol: The whiskers just ended up getting longer and longer and then became uneven...then I just had to add a few stray hairs everywhere and now this cat looks like it's had quite the stressful life, but they're trying their best! As a kitten they start off with normal whiskers that grow longer as the cat ages. The cat gets more and more dishevelled looking as the whiskers and extra stray hairs grow in.

This is a Sunwhisker! The whiskers are meant to be kind of like the sun's rays... Hence the name lol Uses a custom palette that I made for it. I used bumpy colour ramps and a mix of anchored and unanchored paintballs to make the colours a bit more dynamic, reminiscent of fire.


I decided to do a version with the default palette as well!

I've been wanting to make some funky curly whiskers, and after some sketches and planning this little creature was created! It doesn't even resemble my initial plans, but I decided to just trust the process lol. This hex is using the coterie palette, but I do have a few other colors as well.

hexed off of silverfish's alley oshie base! moving the ballz for the whiskers into place took a lot of concentration and I'm glad to have learned how to do something new, and im totally not intimidated by addball whiskers now! I don't know anything about nose shines yet so the little white "shine" on his nose is a curved line of white addballz.

I made a chihuahua! It's my first hexie with a palette (uses the Space palette by Queenie). I made the texture myself from the basegame wizard.bmp (and a tabby stripe so it's not so flat). There's snout whiskers, eyebrow whiskers and ear tip whiskers hehe

Magical little creature. Kinda fox-like even though that wasn't really intentional heh. Very smol and cute as a pubby :3

Entries are due the end of this week!!

that being said I will be travelling from the 27th of this month to about the 14thish of next month so customs will be slow to come if you submit after the 27th.
