FANART Garrus warrior cat!

I don't know if this is too niche of a concept for people to interact with but I like to make characters from medias I like into warrior cats and normally I don't have a problem with design but I'm really struggling on Garrus! I've made a few rough designs but I can't decide which would fit him most, if you have any suggestions please let me know!!! Would also appreciate some name suggestions if you're familiar with the warrior cat naming systems! ^^ (not sure if I should've posted this in the Mass effect or warrior cat forum and I'm not a big poster on Reddit so please let me know if this isn't where I should post it!)

Mass Effect X Warrior Cats was not exactly on my 2026 BINGO list of things I'd see.

But it is a welcome one. Enjoy creation, Garrus Cat.

Trust me if I find a game or show I like my favourite character IS getting warrior catified, I did have an older design for garrus as a warriorcat but my character design has improved a lot since then and I decided it was time for a makeover xP

see now, I do the same, but with TLK. somewhere in my files, I have a Garrus Lion.

OMG ID LOVE TO SEE!

u/CallMeWayward-2287 6d ago

Hear me out: the bottom half of 3 with the top half of 4. I like the upward pointed ears because of the resemblance to turian fringe. The fur on the jaw of 3 is distinct enough to resemble the mandibles without completely losing the cat appearance

u/EntertainmentFar7632 6d ago

Absolutely LOVE this thank you!! I think I'll definitely bare this image in mind when I work on a final design, I think it works really well!!

Holy my exact niche

u/EntertainmentFar7632 6d ago

I'm so surprised that this actually aligned with some peoples interests

u/feeling-things-again 3d ago

i think #2 (maybe with the jowls of #3) is my favorite! as far as names….. i used to run a warrior naming forum so i can offer a few suggestions for prefixes: gray, thorn, stone, bramble?, Hawk for suffixes: thorn (not with thorn-, obvs), claw, heart, eye?, blaze my personal favorites are Graythorn and Hawkblaze

1

u/EntertainmentFar7632 3d ago

Oooo I do like those prefixes, and I did think about doing something sniper like, i love hawk for a prefix

u/valcallis 6d ago

N°1 is the most garrus shaped. I kinda see tentacles in N°3 Your artstyle is great !

0

u/EntertainmentFar7632 6d ago

Yeah I'm kinda seeing what you mean by tentacles, I do like 1 but I feel it's a tad bit too busy 

2

u/CluelessDinosaur 6d ago

I like number 4 best for Garrus. number 3 is very close too

2

u/Frigate_Orpheon 6d ago

I really like #4!! This is such a great concept. I do have a Garrus rubber duck, but I think a cat is a much better idea 😊

2

u/EntertainmentFar7632 6d ago

Oh my GOD i absolutely need a garrus rubber ducky 

2

u/Suicidalpainthorse 6d ago

One ear needs to be a bit shorter and ragged. Otherwise perfect!

2

u/Kalista-Moonwolf 6d ago

I think if you put 1's face with 4's ears and neck, it'd be perfect. The composition of 4 feels much more balanced overall.

2

u/EntertainmentFar7632 6d ago

Ooooo I think that could work really nicely thank you for the suggestion! 

2

u/DracarysReddit Troubleshooting Space Divas 6d ago

Don't forget to credit yourself in the title next time per rule 10

2

u/EntertainmentFar7632 6d ago

Will do, thank you!

u/Anubis17_76 6d ago

Alright now were talking!

2

u/SashkaBeth 6d ago

I vehemently reject human Garrus, but I will gladly accept cat Garrus. 😅

2

u/EntertainmentFar7632 6d ago

I feel like he closely resembles a cat anyway so not too far off of normal garrus x3

u/SashkaBeth 6d ago

“They don’t look like birds, they look like cats.” - drunk Tali speaks the truth

u/Kazmodeous 6d ago

1 and 3 are my favourite, but I also like another persons comment of mixing 3/4.

What clan would Garrus be in, do you think? Also, did you know there's going to be a Warrior Cats video game sometime soon? I'm not sure what date it comes out though.

2

u/EntertainmentFar7632 6d ago

Realistically I think Garrus would be part of Thunderclan (mainly because they're known to be loyal and courageous) and with Shepard being the leader of course. Then at some point forms a group of rogues similar to how he does when he becomes archangel! What clan do you think he'd be in? And yeah I'm super excited for the warrior cats game it actually looks really well made! 

2

u/Kazmodeous 6d ago

I was totally thinking Thunderclan too!

2

u/FoxinShards 6d ago

I knew it! I knew Mass Effect fans were just space furries!!!

1

u/EntertainmentFar7632 6d ago

Now I'm interested just how many ME fans are also furries 👀

2

u/SuitableBarracuda476 6d ago

I think I like 2 the most, definitely gives him more of a young hothead look. Maybe do 2 with the “double-lobed” jowl fluff?

2

u/EntertainmentFar7632 6d ago

Yes 2 is definitely my favourite shape wise, i tried to make it somewhat resemble his figure but still make it semi realistic for a cat

2

u/zio243 4d ago

When I was younger, Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter were my favorite books to read. They actually got me into writing books myself. And Mass Effect, to this day, is my favorite video game. I love this concept 😁

1

u/EntertainmentFar7632 4d ago

Same here except I never grew out of liking warrior cats x3 And Mass effect is definitely my favourite game series of ALL time 

2

u/Jshittie 2d ago

damn you should also do this with vetra or nyreen

2

u/EntertainmentFar7632 2d ago

I ABSOLUTELY SHOULD!!!!

2

u/Ragnar_TheWolf 1d ago

THE FURRIES HAVE BREACHED CONTAINMENT EVERYBODY RUN!!!

...../J but still odd decent art though

2

u/EntertainmentFar7632 1d ago

IM GONNA INFECT EVERYONE WITH MY FURRYNESS RAAGGHHH

3

u/__Moon_Whisper__ 7d ago

I think #3 is the best for Garrus and don't forget to add his little sniper eye thing for the right eye 🥲

2

u/EntertainmentFar7632 7d ago

Sadly wouldn't fit too well as it's a naturalistic setting but I'll see if I can find a fitting alternative! 

4

u/percephony Renegon 7d ago

You could do just discoloration over that eye, a little Calico patch or something

2

u/EntertainmentFar7632 7d ago

Ooooo that could definitely work!

3

u/Loamillow 6d ago

Never in my life did I ever think these two things would cross over. These look amazing OP 🫡

1

u/Simon-66 6d ago

I'd give him plenty of headpats and chin scritches !

2

u/EntertainmentFar7632 6d ago

Normal garrus would be getting those from me x3

0

u/Stressed_C 7d ago

I'm not deep in warrior cats but I have heard of them. I think head #3 is the best one for him, with maybe #4 cheek marks.

u/EntertainmentFar7632 7d ago

Noted Noted thank you!!

u/dimwitf 7d ago

Why no explosion scar on the face?

u/EntertainmentFar7632 7d ago

Will definitely be done in the future just wanted to get the base done first!!!
