Grandkit!

She is the child to Doefire, Lilyclaw, and Weepingwobble (Lilyclaw being the bio father).

That also makes her the grandchild to the Tunnel poly, Webstripe, and Fleathistle and Fadingstar!

Her colours are partially taken from Doefire, partially picked from pictures of scorpions. I think I mixed them together but already forgot.

Her tongue, eyes, nose, and lighter pads come from Lilyclaw, while her inner ears and darker pads come from Doe. Her stripes also, of course, come from Lily.

I posted FleaThistle’s finished ref sheet that I drew from scratch! - @wills-woodland-warriors

GONNA SEE

[residences-of-the-darkforest]

It's a long journey before these enemies become lovers. Heck, it's a long time before Black accepts his feelings enough for them to become lovers.

I like to think that one time, when they still fought viciously but were maybe perhaps possibly starting to care for each other, one of them got a really bad wound and it goes like

"alright we're stopping"

(Injured one): "I thought you wanted me dead. Too scared to get someone's blood on your paws?"

*nudging him in the general direction of Fleathistle's den* "oh yes, terrified, petrified actually. I'll have to find another ugly tom that smells like badger dung to fight"

----------------------------

thanks @ambitiousauthor for the Geode idea! I decided to change the suffix because 'flash' feels it fits him more.

I don't have a brush that replicates Black's markings very well, so went with a simple black-white instead!

FleaThistle’s ref sheet! I’ll probably do his dark forest version when I have enough spoons.

He’s based off of this singapura cat: 

[wills-woodland-warriors]

AmaranthKit! 

Character notes: 

Co-owned by @liberhoe and myself 

gender: Molly 

sexuality: sapphic 

Characteristics: has a collection of beetle exoskeletons, indifferent, quiet, very chill, witty 

Her favourite plants can be found here: https://at.tumblr.com/wills-woodland-warriors/idk-if-emoji-asks-are-still-open-but-bouquet/rf74wpc6ms04 

her warrior name would have been AmaranthTuft 

she is slightly allergic to amaranth flowers! 

Design notes: 

I tried to make her eyes have purple in them because of amaranth. Amaranthine is the purple-red or reddish pink colour of amaranth plants. It can also be genetically explained through FadingStar’s pinky red eyes. 

Amaranth is known for its spiky leaves and that it never fades in colour, and was sometimes referred to by ancient Greeks as “unfading” and even “immortal”. It can also symbolize rebirth and purity. 

Amaranths are highly toxic to cats, and to FleaThistle’s distress FadingStar kept craving them when he was expecting kits. FadingStar is thankfully (hopefully) smart enough to never eat them but gods did it stress FleaThistle out 

I gave her spiky fur after the spiky leaves, and the floppy ear after the fact that one type of amaranths droop down. The floppy ear can also be a similarity to FleaThistle in the fact that he’s missing his one ear because of genetic reasons, and I’ve always thought the would have had one floppy ear. 

I gave her a few extra spots on her shoulder in the same place as fadingstars, same with the back paw matching his. 

Her paws and nose spots are the same as FadingStar, and her mouth is the same as FleaThistle’s. 

@liberhoe if you’d like me to add anything let me know!! 

The next kit I’ll be working on is sweet RaspberryKit, who looks a more like FleaThistle! Also… should Raspberry get the floppy ears? 

Her fathers refs for comparison, Fadingstars is by liber of course. (Also updated FleaThistle):

lemme just tell u some of the bs i went thru for this piece:

It would. not. fucking. save.

There are at LEAST 30 layers

I fucking hate shading

Fleathistle's ref gave me an aneurysm to try to replicate /lh

I literally abandoned the first version because i didn't like the composition and then spent like 5 hours working on anatomy

Shading

IT WOULDN'T SAVE

The program I use genuinely fucking crashed on me and deleted like an hour(at least) of progress

But I'm so friggin proud of it holy shit

oh my god can I relate to this

nothing stops your heart and makes you go "don't.." more than when the screen freezes a moment before exiting out (for whatever reason) and you KNOW it didn't save

at least with ibis x paint it saves automatically, but it's hard to flip.

I finally made a ref sheet for FleaThistle! I was wondering if you’d be able to change the picrew in his profile out and replace it with the ref sheet? No worries if not :) - @wills-woodland-warriors

Send it over!

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

AmaranthKit’s ref is done and I’m just updating FleaThistles before I post it! - @wills-woodland-warriors

Okay!!

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

I have a very evil resident to submit but posting photos of her would give away too much, am I allowed to use FleaThistle’s ref sheet as a way to test if my device will let me send in photos through submissions? I basically just need to know if it lets you view the image or not — @wills-woodland-warriors (I misspelt that three times)

go wild
