Sufferin' sucotash! I dare say this Keidran tribe may rival that of the Tigers!

Fox-o guy

Colored as hell! Gimme that backround!

It’s true, also, the crazies who can’t drive in snow but think they can are also coming. The benefit for me, the aforementioned group will all be on the side of the road in the first 30 minutes of snowfall, and, I actually can drive in snow.

Unfortunately, based on the maps anyways, it seems the wolves have already wiped out these northern cats. Well maybe not just the wolves, Depending in where it was, humans may have took some as well. Just depends on where the borders of the former snow leopard and northern cats would have been. Now it's just about half and half between humans and wolves

I will now have to suggest that you young mortal.

Sons of Lorgar

Also Viking cat: buries all your riches, sits and plays with box of loot box...

Remmus

Can't help but imagine munchkin breed cat Keidran to be basically be the dwarfs of the Twokind universe, complete with broad, stocky bodies and big, braided beards.

More breed specific Keidran! Somebody suggest Munchkins and Scottish Folds <3

Wow, the Vikings! This forest cat is definitely going to win, he is damn powerful.)))))

words cannot describe the amount of badassness in this one picture

Shockblaster

This is why the Templar will lose.

Q

Absolutely badass! Great work with this piece!

Supreme Leader Porg

Funny as I get this after just playing CK2 as Germany and getting rushed by 20k army of Swedes and Norwegians while I am invading Italy. let's just say it did not go well for me at all

Mediawatcher

Those are some badass looking cats!

Hill: All Viking cats were not stupid brutes. They had moments of brilliance. They were such great shipbuilders and sailors that Leif Eriksson and his crew landed in America first. Some say, traveling as far south as New York harbor. Here's where the true brilliance comes in, they took a look, turned around and went home. (Oz reference)

Kitty!

Very cool cat!

Thomas Fischbach

You're welcome! :)

For the Knight faction!

Me: In exchange for my life and freedom, I volunteer my loot box as tribute. Viking Cat: *growls* Me: Wait! Instead of my loot box, here’s everything I own. Viking Cat: *licks me* Me: Please don’t kill me! Viking Cat :3 *runs away with all my riches* Me: :-(

Sure, the Vikings that most affected UK and North America were Danish and Norwegian. But the Swedish Vikings may have started the first Russian kingdom [ https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking#Bos%C3%A4ttare_och_er%C3%B6vrare ]. That myth may have gotten a boost lately, since Swedes at the time was a half Slavic cross road of migrants according to current ancient genome data and tomb finds.

Considering the size of forest cats, I kind of want to see one standing next to a normal cat type.

Khajit raised among Nords.

My Norwegian Fluffmonster (the inspiration for this sketch idea) likes to play with the water in his drinking bowl. Always makes a mess all over the kitchen floor. 😹

Travis9x

Tom, you did such a magnificent job with this sketch, I am beyond ecstatic with how it turned out. When I made the suggestion, I was hoping you would pay particular attention to the breed's distinctive facial markings, and you did! Bravo!! 😻 I really hope it gets voted to be colored later. And maybe we'll be graced by a trademark @DarthKeidran Story Comment™? 😉

Two of these were said to draw Freya's chariot in Norse mythology.

Jacobus Peterson

No, that would be the jungle ratcats of Kzin, although the northern white furrs of Caiat may have had similar customs.

Mark Temple

so do Forest Cat Beserkers scream and leap?

It's amazing to see how one person's art can improve over the years, with constant practice and in increments too small to notice

Golden Gears

Pillage the women eh?

Travis9x

Could easily be either one. Vikings were one of the few warrior-societies with equal participation (and respect), of both male and female warriors. Also, during the sketch, Tom stated that the “gender is Viking”. 😆

The Furry Centinel

Who said that in war there is no place for soft or fluffy stuff, XD!!!

Meet The Zombie Soldier

reminds me of mount & blade in some ways. i like it.

Trollman906

I can’t tell if it’s a Viking or Shield Maiden

MiDoFox

Viking Keidran: ÉG RÍF ÞIG Í BITA. Human Templar: Tace cor tuum. Basitin general in the distance: 放て

Ordithus

Awesome work!

Blizzard Snow Mew

We had a Maine Coon that would lay in the sink with the water running a little bit and lick it off the puddle that formed on his side 😂

Some history of the (real life) Norwegian Forest Cat: originally short-haired, brought to Norway by the Vikings, and then interbred with other European long-haired breeds (such as the Angora), brought there by Crusaders. The cats are probably the descendants of the cat of Viking legend, the “skogkatt”, which was famously known for scaling sheer rock-cliffs, with its strong claws. Bred by Vikings to serve as mousers on their farms, as well as on their ships, the cats are one of the few domestic breeds to have no fear of water, and actually do have a water-shedding outer layer of fur, with thick cottony insulating fur underneath. They are large, strong, and incredibly hardy to harsh weather conditions. They are very similar to the American Maine Coon breed.
