#smallear design

[cryptidclaw]

Smallear!

Design Notes:

I havent drawn this guy in AGES. for context: my previous design of him was from when I was trying to make warriors genetically accurate, so I made him orange.

He is no longer orange! also he isnt Lion and Golden's dad anyway so it doesnt matter.

I designed him to be big and fluffy! I gave him a big mane and fluffy mustache like Lionheart bec he may not be Lion's dad but he is his uncle!

also he loafin

Character Bio:

Smallear

Tom; he/him

Age as of 1st arc's beginning: 13 cycles; 68 Hyrs

Title meaning: -ear = a cat with especially good hearing

Warrior -> Elder of Thunder Order

Mentor: Hollypelt

Mother: Larchsong

Father: Flamenose

Other notable kin: Goldenflower (niece); Lionheart (nephew)

Siblings: Star Sunfall; Featherwhisker

Character Summary:

He's just an old guy, I dont have much to say...

he is the same as in canon, though he dies in the fire before the first arc's end. Also he is not mates with Specklesnap nor are her kits his.

He's just vibin, I feel like he was a patrol guy who lived to an ancient age and is now just enjoying retirement

oh also he got the name "Small" because he was the smallest of his litter.... however he grew up to be bigger than all of his siblings hehe

I love aus where characters are alive, so here is Swiftclaw AU!! I made some changes because Tigerstar being Thistleclaw’s son would be epic. Also made swiftpaw full on tigergolden child ;33

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!

Smallear of ThunderClan

Please do NOT take this drawing as a reliable reference for drawing cats, especially with the right cats' pelt colour! Thank you.

Another more-than-one art of a cat! This time it's two designs for Smallear! The right one had some changes done to the design while coloring this, so isn't perfect, but oh well haha

↓ coat colour & body details

LEFT (canon-based): blue, shorthair

RIGHT (canon & genetics-based): theoretically black smoke sepia-albino (Burmese-albino) with low white spotting, longhair

BOTH: curled and smaller than the norm ears, amber eyes

"I will never forgive Bluestar. And Fireheart will never be our deputy. Not in my eyes." -Smallear to the other elders

[jaythstar]

I don't remember the elders doing anything but hanging out with cloudkit but I do like rosetail

I FORGOT I DESIGNED THESE LAST YEAR...................

Into the Wild <- Forest Of Secrets ->

Fire and Ice ThunderClan! I know cloud is put in the ‘outside the clans’ part of the allegiances and Lynx isn’t listed at all but. They’re here anyway <33 I'm going to do ‘forgotten’ kittens when their siblings are listed- I plan to do Brindle’s two other kittens when Ash and Fern are listed in the allegiances for the first time

Design notes for the new cats under the cut!

Yellowfang- classic cranky lady! Yellowfang is one of those designs I couldn’t really imagine breaking canon for even though I wanted to. Anything I tried that wasn’t classic Yellowfang looking felt so wrong so she’s just Her !

Longtail- he has his nicked ear now! I intentionally made it kind of look like a TNR ear because I thought it was funny. Symbolic in a way one could argue

Fire and Gray- Warrior designs for them ! Big boys now!

Swiftpaw- I tried to make him look a bit like Tiger bc in my head, Tiger is also the father of Swift and Lynx. The poetic horror of Tiger killing his own son with the dogs he brought into the territory.

Cinderpaw- oh Cinder my lovely girl- I gave her bangs like her mom and little orange flecks like little flames bc of her name

Brackenpaw- Brackens are a kind of fern so he looks like a fern! I had so much fun with him and he’s got his mom’s face shape!

Cloudkit- beautiful fluffy cloud baby. Not much more to say <3

Lynxkit- why do all the random kits they name years later have cool names that are never used again? Lynx looked a lot like her father, Tiger, and if she had survived I think he would have heavily favored her. I think her death really disturbed Tiger and it caused him to distance himself from Swift. But yeah, Lynx!

And that’s all the new kitties! 4 cats were lost (rip Red, Spotted, Rose, and Lion) but 5 were gained!
