I’m soft launching this idea that medcats/apprentices wear a little herb or something because I like seeing it in other’s designs so much :] I decided leafpaw wears parsley (used to stop milk production in queens)

[melonwi1d]

spottedpaw and thistleclaw

this was mostly just to flesh out their designs (he’s icky)

someone understands

sisters, sisters

there were never such devoted sisters

[melonwi1d]

some old drawings from 2022 when I first discovered clangen and drew the first batch I liked :)

I’ve redrawn a few of these guys before, mayhaps I will again

clangen pt. 2!

these guys are more interesting, thought about their characterization while making this and I think that olivepaw would have been put into medicine training per autumntail’s fear of him being a bloodthirsty warrior?? idk if they’ll ever be developed beyond these silly drawings it’s just fun to think about :)

pinestar. I LOVE HIM! imo pinestar’s choice is one of the most well-written stories in the whole series the foreshadowing and the characterization just wow <3

my piece for @harriertail's warrior cat cover zine, which can be found here! this was the first big project i have been involved in, and i had a blast working on it :3 thank you so much for including me!

some progress things below!

side note, this was the first drawing i made after switching from medibang to clip studio paint. it took me extra long because i didn't know how to use the tools or brushes lol.

to start off, i wanted to capture frostpaw's initial joy and whimsy, but also set an ominous feeling, like things aren't quite right here.

one of my first ideas was frostpaw finding the star-shaped leaf. although i liked this idea, i wasn't confident in my ability to draw this background, and i felt that the colors leaned too dark and dramatic.

another idea was mistystar having her heart attack. these colors were closer to what i wanted- the bright yellow colors of the original cover- but i felt that frostpaw should be the main focus.

i combined some elements, resulting in frostpaw and the star-shaped leaf in the foreground, with mistystar in the background. mistystar eventually migrates to the sky, inspired by the polish covers.

i still wasn't happy with my colors, and i was struggling to draw the cloudy sky. i decided that a water feature would be a good idea, since this book heavily features riverclan, and i gave up the purple colors i had been trying to integrate.

finally i landed on the colors and composition that i was happy with, which leads to the finished product!

i started reading the actual books again like a good warrior cats artist & noticed i left out squirrel’s white paw in my last drawing of her. So, here is Squirrelstar (revised)

“Sometimes I would give anything for things to be different…”

This is the scene from Firestar’s Quest where Spottedleaf magically appears and gives them burdock root (which is cool I didn’t know they could do that)
