hello!
this is a design blog based on wayne mcloughlin's art for the warrior cats series. mcloughlin illustrated the series from 2003 until his death in 2015. while the new warrior cats covers are... serviceable, there was a certain roughness and mystery to mcloughlin's work that really captured the feeling of reading the books for the first time. this blog is a tribute to his work.
some questions before we get out of the way:
- 'will the designs only be of cats wayne drew?' no! post-oots characters will also get designs, as will characters that wayne didn't draw.
- 'why does the art look so heavily referenced?' this is practice for me to draw better cats.
- 'will the designs stick exactly to how wayne drew them?' not usually- there'll be some differences, but nothing that would stick out compared to his style.
- 'is there a proper order in which you're doing these?' no <3
