AU where Firestar is mentored by Tigerclaw and grows up to be Tigerstar's loyal right hand (paw?)

Did you see that the newest warrior cat book has a deer on the cover / potentially ivypool will talk to a deer? I can't believe the Erins are ripping off Deepdark :/ (joke obviously but what a coinkydink)

Mothwing is one of my favorite warriors characters so ofc of painted her. I want to redraw this one someday, but I've been seeing similar art of her since I made this so I keep putting it off. OTL

Was thinking on making a small animation featuring the most dysfuctional sisters so i whipped out these designs for them and went a little overboard? But they were super fun to create so I hope you guys enjoy them <3

Athena: I believe we should ship Odysseus and Penelope together.

Ares: To where?

[protagaster]

Calypso, gesturing to herself and the rest of the suitors: Now, which of us will be the object of your attraction?

Odysseus, very obviously uninterested in any of them: Hm, wow, what great options. This is going to be so hard.

[Penelope walks in, hair disheveled and clothes ripped up. She is also covered in blood]

Penelope: Oh, sisters. I’m back from war.

Odysseus, with hearts in his eyes while he shoves every single woman out of the way: Hello, sailor!

I know several other people have redrawn that one official cloudtail & brightheart art but i wanted to take a crack at it. Hire me harpercollins.

[ID: a digital painting of Cloudtail and Brightheart from Warriors in a semi-realistic style. Cloudtail is a fluffy white cat with blue eyes, and Brightheart is a ginger-and-white cat with one blue eye and heavy scarring on the other side of her face, including an empty eyesocket, shredded ear, and part of her lip torn away to reveal her teeth. The cats are facing towards the viewer, looking happy, with Brightheart leaning her head into Cloudtail's muzzle. They are in a field of tall grass with mountains visible in the background and a tree with a few leaves looming over them. End ID]

Original below the cut for comparison

[ID: a painting similar to the first one, but Brightheart and Cloudtail are drawn in a more realistic style, lacking expression, and not leaning into each other. Brightheart has much less ginger on her pelt and her scarring is reduced to a few scratches on her eye. End ID]

What kind of characters or dynamics would you like to see more often in WC fanworks/OCs? Your characters are pretty unique in their backstories and dynamics with others, so I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Well thank you! I suppose I'd like to see more people willing to push the boundaries of the series, rather than relying on the tropes, plotlines, and character types that come directly from the book. I think Warriors fancomics are at their most effective when they use the book only as a framework to move within, and it also helps avoid picking up the worst traits of the book (hackneyed plots, sexism, racism, nonsensical motivations, etc., take your pick).

I think, perhaps, some fans of Warrior Cats need to read books other than Warrior Cats and similar YA xenofiction, and that will help them develop a better literary diet and write more unique characters, if you like the ones I create.

Doe of Deadwood is a phenomenal comic, and one of the direct inspirations for me making comics at all. Highly recommend!

Might redraw this one day. I always felt like Sandstorm and Silverstream were both watered down and not used to their full potential as characters due to their relationships with toms. So ofc I ended up shipping them lmao.

Halloween with the Chain, featuring our LU heroes in their various "costumes"!

First character design for this blog--breaking the rules by not starting with Firestar, but inspiration struck.
