maybe dustpelt? hes the last apprentice from the first book that hasn’t been redesigned yet

I usually draw him as a sepia colorpoint but since I'm making these more canon accurate he is a tabby!

I like to try and make Dustpelt look at least a little bit like he is Ravenpaw's brother so he has purple eyes! He also has similar white markings to Raven and his darkest tabby markings are Raven's base coat color!

I'VE DONE ITTT!!! i've decided to start re-reading warrior cats for the first time since i was a kid, so to have a little extra fun with it, i've been drawing all of the thunderclan cats from into the wild!

Into the Wild ThunderClan!! These are 'canon' world designs for me! I've been working on a personal rewrite for my own entertainment (mostly fixing the family trees) alongside my WOF rewrite, but these designs ignore my family tree and follow the canon one! -> Fire and Ice

Design details and explanations below!

Bluestar- I wanted her to be like. somewhat regal looking, somewhat serving. But I also wanted to try a like, reverse colorpoint? It didn't turn out how I pictured in my mind, might have to revisit

Redtail and Spottedleaf- they are twins to me, I wanted them to look similar no matter what, I really like how square I made them. I also wanted to drift away from overly like, fem spotted- I have no problems with people who make her design overly fem coded but I personally do not care for it

Lionheart- Is a lion

Tigerclaw- is a tiger. Tiger means orange. get Oranged boy

Whitestorm- silly old man to me. Colorpoint like his mama, I wanted him to be very whispy, like a storm

Darkstripe- I wanted to get like. sleezy king's advisor energy. I think I did a good job with that

Longtail- I wanted him to look like a serval! I adore Longtail

Mousefur- wanted her to look like a lil mouse <33

Runningwind- I wanted quick, whispy shapes like the wind (and for him to look like sand. Can't help myself. She's a runningred baby all day everyday to me) I added the eyelines that cheetahs have bc he's a fast guy!

Firepaw- CRINGE BABY!!! wanted him to look flaming!

Dustpaw- I struggled with him bc when I think of dust I think of like, dust bunnies and kinda fluffy shapes, but he isn't a fluffy guy! Though, dust bunny dusty sounds fun. Might have to revamp him lol

Graypaw- droopy and soft and friendly! Gave him cartoony friend eyes bc it felt right. Looks like his mama!

Ravenpaw- tiny, weepy little guy. He is so cute

Sandpaw-I wanted tough, sharp, and swirly bc of her storm warrior name, and when I think storm and wind I think of swirls!

Brindleface- ok, I know brindle is a kind of pattern but when I hear the world brindle I think of like, crinkly shapes? So I tried to make her crinkled somehow

Willowpelt- droopy like a willow! I know willows aren't purple but I associate the word with purple? So she's purple n green! I love her design

Speckletail- I admit, didn't have much thought on her. Just made her speckled

Frostfur- snow, frost, cold girl- wanted her to have awesome snow and winter vibes

Goldenflower- Golden flower = sunflower, she is a sunflower <33

Halftail- really no thoughts about this guy but I like his shapes

Dappletail- she gives me like. old wealth vibes. High class old woman who is kinda mean. Tried to get that across. Don't know why, I really don't even remember her beyond her weird 'relationship' with Stormtail and how she died

One-eye- I wanted to make her kinda sharp and tough

Smallear- Old man looking cat bc he is an old man <33

Rosetail- I want to draw a full body of her one day bc I can picture a rose looking tail in my mind but until then, she just is pink and heart coded

Patchpelt- wanted to try and make 'stitches' along his patches!

That's everyone- some of these cats I could picture in my mind, some not at all but this was so fun. I can't wait to do more!

finished MAP part yayayay!!!! For Meowno's Ravenpaw AU MAP

As always, more thoughts under the cut.

Time Spent: ~9.5 hours

This was FUN I had FUN !!! Less so in my initial lipsyncing where I had sooo many frames and kinda lost what style I even wanted with it. HOWEVER I took a break, looked at some anime-style animation (hi pokemon horizons intro) and redid it!!!

I think I ended up losing the direct anime style, but it was fun nonetheless!! Other influences are probably the Writing On The Wall frostpaw pmv by Icefelis, for the cat drawing style !!

my part ended up being a bit different from the storyboard (reframing the first shot for a cooler stomp, and adding in extra camera movement/acting in the second shot) and it was SO worth it !!! yippee yippee yippee

SPEAKING of the first shot, I tweened!! Krita has a very basic tweening interface (labeled as "animation curves") and I was able to use it for my needs !! YIPPEE

it came out AWESOME im very happy with it !!!! (ignore that the gif of the final shot is missing camera shake, that was added in post)

the spiral around the sun wasn't in the refs but its another idea im SUPER happy with coming up with !!! I think it goes along with the color palette in making the bright sunny day look ominous and spooky!!!

I whipped up those BGs SUPER fast too. awesome awesome awesome

I also really like how the lineart looked before being homogonized, so here's a gif of that too!!!!

and my beautifl beautiful smear frame and son
