TINY CAT PEOPLE
ADOPTS/CUSTOMS

ABOUT

"TCPs are small, feline-like beings that inhabit the world of Morbit, infesting the planet as the most common sapient species and irritating many of the world's gods in the process. They are innately curious creatures that come in an infinite number of types- based on any noun outside of proper nouns and copyrighted material. They are a completely open species that stars in multiple projects, most of which being interactive comics." -TCPdexTiny Cat People is a passion project of mine, initially created as something for my mind to work on during an unpaid full time job, as well as hard times in my personal life. tiny cat people of course, are the focus of these stories- as well as how they perceive the world, and vice versa. they’re simple creatures, following a simple concept- each tiny cat person has a “type”, which is defined by a noun, any noun at all. a near infinite amount of TCP types are possible, and all interpretations (as long as they’re not harmful or derogatory!) can be considered canon- hell, i welcome seeing peoples’ takes on existing types!each TCP type has unique qualities, as well as a special ability relating to their type. these abilities can range from changing the shape of an object to distorting reality itself, leading TCPs to be one of the most powerful species on Morbit, the planet on which they reside…but, as the name would imply, they are very small. approximately 1-12 inches in height, they live among the larger sapient species of Morbit, the fictional, multi-genre universe most of my work takes place in. TCPs are known for forming colonies both in more secluded places and right alongside major cities and towns. they are inherently curious and prone to seeking out social interaction and adventure, learning to navigate the world around them as soon as they spawn on the planet.TCPs are mainly known however, for the focus on them placed in god games referred to as “TCP Sessions.” gods create a team of TCPs to either befriend or conquer their opponents, leading them as they would their own people. these games are wildly popular on Morbit itself, with spectators all over the world tuning in to watch.as an open species, TCPs are open for everyone to make! this service is for people to get custom TCPs with “official” designs, and also to help me pay my rent. you don’t need to know anything about Morbit to make and enjoy tiny cat people, and as long as you’re not making money off of or selling these guys, you’re free to do or change anything you want. (trading + gifts are a okay, though!)more details about TCPs can be found at the TCPdex wiki, for those interested in digging deeper.you can also check out our social media in the footer for more project info!

ORDERING GUIDE

your resulting TCP will come with two images: a flat, multi-view ref, and a shaded base image!TCPs will have two prices listed- one for everyone, and one **specifically for Patrons, using the credit given to $10+ pledgers. these discounts are a reward for helping us out as a team, and Patrons will also have options unavailable for regular commissions.if you’re interested in pledging, please check our Patreon out! i contribute as much content as i can each month, and you can get a lot more rewards than just TCPs.

only basic + hybrid TCPs available! more options coming soon...

basic TCPs

basic tiny cat people are as the name would imply, very simple! they are single type TCPs that are recolored on the same type base, with no anomalies, conditions, or modifiers. (all of which will be added later down the line!) these are the most affordable kind of TCP, and are a great option if you’d like to commission a new type.currently unavailable types for existing bases (in need of revamp/new variants): cat, defiance, frog, sheep.
(these TCPs ARE available for new base prices, and will be given updated variants from the TCPdex look.)blubber does not have a shaded base available, but will still be available at existing base price.

Step 1: choosing Typing

you can choose to order a custom off of an existing base found in the TCPdex, or order a completely new TCP type.you will not have input on the actual type design due to TCP types being Morbit canon once established, but you will receive a text writeup on the overall look and ability before confirming that it’s the type you want. as such, feel free to suggest multiple types to be elaborated on, and pick the one that feels right for you.once completed, the base will be added to the TCPdex and can be ordered at a lower price from then on. by discovering new TCPs, you not only help us expand our world, but diversify what TCPs are available to everyone!if a type has a free to use reference available (which will be coming soon!), you can also color + customize that, and i can give you a quote on how much it would cost to base that. TCP types of your own design (image only, please!) will also be valid for basing, but will not be accepted into our “official” Morbit canon. these will also require a price quote.once you’ve given me the types you’d like details on, and confirm what TCPs you want based, you can proceed to the next step.

Step 2: choosing Palette

once you have your TCP base confirmed and completed, it’s time to pick colors. regular TCPs have set markings and number of colors possible for those markings, though for an extra fee, you can have completely custom markings with no palette limit. i personally prefer to work within five colors, but gradients are easy enough and i can do my best to fit exactly what you want. input on colors and markings is completely possible at this stage, and WIPs will be given until a desired result is achieved.congrats! you now have a TCP of your very own!however, if you’re looking for something a little more unique...head to the hybrid section!

Hybrid TCPs

hybrid TCPs are a special case, rarely spawning on Morbit, but more often artificially created through fusion or other means. though their origins are usually traumatic, hybrids exist just as happily in society as any other TCP, and can live fulfilling, albeit far stranger, lives.these tiny cat people have unique abilities created through combining the types they consist of, and no two hybrids are the same. as such, your new hybrid TCP will have a completely unique base, shared with no other! design input is accepted at all stages of the commission process, to make sure that your hybrid comes out just right.for each type added to the hybrid, you’ll pay extra regardless of whether they’re designed or not- designing new types for hybrids takes time, and so does coming up with a cohesive combination of traits!the maximum amount of types a hybrid can have is five, and after three types, the TCP becomes progressively more unstable, prone to body horror and issues with type interactions.

Step 1: choosing typing

like standard TCPs, you will be given descriptions of any types you’re interested in, including overall physical description and ability. these do not need to be preexisting types, but any new types will be sketched and not based at the time of commissioning. as with basic TCPs, you will not have input on their designs or abilities.

Step 2: type interactions

once you confirm which types will be put in the hybrid, you’ll get another text description- this one, you have input on. possible interactions between types for both ability and physical appearance will be suggested, and you’ll be able to pick one, as well as suggest minor changes.once a general idea is agreed on, you’ll receive an initial concept sketch of the design. this is the most flexible stage, and details can be tweaked as needed. once the sketch is decided upon, no more design tweaks can be made, and the TCP will be based.

Step 3: choosing palette

as with standard, you will now be given the markings and number of colors possible, unless the designer option is chosen. when that’s all done, you will have your hybrid completed!
