Thinking of dog days and how they’re the hottest days of summer and they are called that because it was calculated in antiquitas that these days occurred with the heliacal rising of Sirius, the Dog Star.

Hiya!

I'm a student currently putting myself through school. I love to write, crochet, and draw. Check out my redbubble if you're interested in some designs just like this one!

TDS(The Dog Star, by Razmerry) has almost come to an end, and it is…. It's pleasantly sad. I have been following the release of the comic since 2020 (i.e. 4 out of 5 years of TDS publication) and it has greatly influenced me and my creativity.

thank you, Razmerry, for such a wonderful comic, for PATFW, for your creativity in general!

This is gift art for Razmerry, fanart of my favorite character from their Warriors fan comic "The Dog Star", Harestrike!

Harestrike is just such a fascinating character to me, until very recent events they only played a very small part in the main comic itself, but all of the side content released that went more into their backstory, their life, their time in the Dark Forest and role in StarClan, just made them so fascinating to me. They were right all along about StarClan being corrupt, but they took that right idea and used it as a cudgel to punish the Clans with, lashing out in hurt and anger under the guise of serving a noble cause. They suffered in the Dark Forest, then they suffered in StarClan serving under Applestar. They ended up serving the exact cause that they used to fight against, but even though in life they used their crusade against StarClan to lash out, they actually did believe in it and did hate StarClan for its corruption, and it was only the years of fear and suffering in the Dark Forest and the careful abusive control of Applestar that had Harestrike at her side as her lackey. But now, Harestrike has found the courage and the righteousness of realizing they were right about StarClan all along to strike back. They were right in life, but not good, and in the afterlife they suffered, and now after going through so much, I think they've finally found a right way forward, and a desire to finally put right all of these wrongs.

It was really this piece that made me become interested in the character, and made me predict their turn against Applestar years ahead of time (yes, I'm proud of myself for predicting that one, hush :P). Just something about the piece struck me, the balance between the dark and light parts of them, and their expression, it isn't straight regret, or anger or fear like we see from them in the comic so often. It's... intense, contemplative, serious and solemn and hard all at once. The way they regard their paws and the conflicting sides of themselves, I dunno. Its what really made me think there was more to this character than the comic had shown so far.

So when I realized this piece I was drawing, with the intense expression and the idea to show both the Dark Forest and StarClan sides to them, actually looked really similar to that piece, I decided to lean into it. I actually was going to have the Dark Forest and StarClan sides flipped, but changed it to resemble that piece more. XD The expression I drew was more just straight-up intense than contemplative like Razmerry's peice, but ah well, I just kinda wanted Harestrike staring piercingly at the camera, even though they're more of an anxious spiky disaster cat than a piercing-stare sort. :P

Harestrike here is surrounded by lavenders, with the one in front of them dripping blood, as a nod to the only cat Harestrike ever killed with their own paws, and the one whose murder served as a "point of no return", at least in life - their mentor, Lavenderwhisker.

Overall, I'm really, really happy with how this turned out. :D The lavenders aren't perfect, but I'm happy with the colors and overall look, and I'm really happy with how Harestrike turned out. Spiky oriental cats are fun to draw. ^^ I hope you like it Razmerry, and merry (late) Christmas! :D

Next up is Applestar from the webcomic The Dog Star by @razmerry!

Believe it or not, none of the characters are actually dogs, they’re cats XD This was for a contest a couple years back where we turn the characters into any creature other than a cat. So I thought a Caucasian Ovcharka would fit Applestar, as they are equally strong and intimidating.

If I had a nickel for every amazing Warriors fan comic I read that featured a troubled, lesbian protagonist who's best friend turned out to be a homicidal maniac, who has been to both Starclan and the Dark Forest and who's clan is being attacked due to poor leadership I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice right?

as newspapers today dont tend to hire children, a modern day Tintin would run a clickbait YouTube channel, except the clickbait is 100% real every single time

he starts off as an irritating conservative pundit at 14, meets Chang then leaves the think tank paying him and launches his own independent channel and blows up shortly after. Chang helps with video editing and managing his socials and they often chat on video calls between adventures. Haddock, his foster dad, has absolutely no knowledge of his earlier videos.

I looked at my mother because I was a version of my mother. I looked away from my mother because I was a version of my mother. I was me, but I was also her—my mother, and I understood this all too well.
