Old doodles I used for a relationship map for my Uni friends, when I was explaining Warrior Cats lore

GUESS WHO GOT THE SUDDEN URGE TO DRAW❕️❔️

Here's Berryheart cause she's a great antagonist that isn't talked about enough

She's such an interesting character to me. I mean, she was in The Kin (AVOS), and Darktail drowned her sister Beenose AND her daughter Needletail. The only reason she wasn't drown is because she made an escape plan, and I think she got very lucky.

Do I support her actions in ASC? Absolutely not. Do I understand them? Yes. Not to mention the fact that I think she's an entertaining antagonist. She's the embodiment of gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss.

Berryheart

Society if Whistlepaw was the 3rd pov character in ASC instead of Nightheart and Sunbeam’s character arc could properly be about her and Berryheart

Got a donation on my ko-fi that got us to reach TWO behind the scenes stretch goals!! thank u thank u!!

These are all the characters' 'base' colours! For each blue/pink/purple scene I'd put the corresponding blue/pink/purple colour (seen at the bottom of the first image) at 100% Soft Light over them (with a clipping mask) to tint them appropriately C:

I made sooo many character designs for this amv haha; usually different/side characters don't show up as much in my amvs that I honestly just make them up on the spot lol. But this time a lot of side characters appeared multiple times so I actually designed them out beforehand (and I started to have fun drawin lil guys hehe)

Oh yea forgor: the lil note beside Darktail's eye; I originally wanted the lake to be blue to match the symbolic colour of Needle's like despair n stuff, But through the course of making the amv I realized I wanted the lake she drowns in to be purple because she's doing it for Violetpaw!! So in the amv the water ended up being blue for just a moment when Dark pushes her underwater, then back to its purple :')

And the second BTS is the sketches for the thumbnail! I started in my sketchbook to brainstorm n then moved it over to digital (that digital sketch needle has like one paw raised but then i was like. That looks weird lol)

the BerrySparrow family! not quite sure how much I like my Berryheart design but I'm happy with Needletail and Sunbeam and they matter most to me (I felt like making them look pretty similar would be fun a long while back and I kept that idea here)

major spoilers for star but. i dont think i cried that hard since the first arc. legit. it hurt so bad seeing sunbeam blame herself and in that dissociated state after her mother died was so painful. it felt so raw and real in a way warrior cats hasn't been in a long long time. sunbeam is such a real character, its a shame shes brushed over as much as she is by the fandom.

I also think Berryheart being exiled set a bad precedent.

Don't get me wrong, Berryheart is a bad and dangerous cat. But what exactly did she do that was an exile worthy offense?

She used the proper legal channels as established by the warrior code to depose a leader, she failed, and was exiled. What exactly does this suggest? Are we really okay with the precedent that any cat who tries to use the legal systems to depose a leader can be punished for it?

That just feels like it goes against the whole point of having a legal system to depose a leader in the first place. It discourages cats from starting the process- even if it would be right for the clan- because of fear of punishment.

Finally got this one done. :D

It was really fun redrawing these three and comparing them to the old design challenge I did at the start of the arc. I went from anticipating Flamepaw's arc as the descendent of Firestar, to being happy to see him respected as his true self Nightheart and finally happy with the family and legacy he's created; from seeing Sunbeam's anxious beginnings, to seeing her happy and confident in herself as a ThunderClan warrior; and from curious about Frostpaw's role in all of this, to having her as one of my favorite characters of all time and overjoyed to see her finally happy and at home in her Clan again with a gorgeous new name to go with her new role as a full medicine cat.

The new cats were all fun to draw as well, especially the expression on Berryheart and the running/lunging pose on Splashtail. :D I just can't picture Berryheart without some kind of sneer on her face, what can I say? XD

Overall, I'm really happy with how this turned out.
