Hi! my queue ran out before I could catch up to it haha. I'm on art fight this month, to try and resurrect my will to draw more detail! The refs of my babies under the cut. I'm gonna post the attacks I make to my bluesky and my main @alexharrier !
Oakheart! I also made some minor tweaks to his design, mostly reducing the feathering on his tail and giving his tail tip and forehead 'black' agouti striping like Reedshine. I like him! He's fine. Not the most fleshed out character in Warriors, but what's available is nice. I think of him as Bluestar's male wife and I'm pretty sure that's accurate
Raiinflower 2.0! Crookedstar's Mom. The first design I did of her was really only for one part in amen, I don't like her so I wrote that project to basically not have her in it haha. Here is an updated version to look more like Oakheat, and in my standard side profile rather than over her shoulder like a diva.
Shellheart 2.0! I am updating the Amen designs a little because they were my first set before I had any specific ideas about how I wanted to present my designs, and some are in odd angles. Shellheart is one I've always liked, but wanted to update a few details. He was a "supportive" in quotations father, at least compared to other warriors in the early books, and does stand up for his son though, how effective that is can be debated. I didn't hate him! he was fine.
Crookedstar 2.0! He is one of my top 5 all time warriorcats, and I'm grateful I was able to complete a project with him as a focus character. This is mostly just a color adjustment update, with more written information about key design elements. It can be hard to walk the line between light brown and pale ginger, so I adjusted his secondary and tertiary colors darker and less saturated to fully seat them in the brown and not ginger category. Additional construction and story notes under the cut.
Goosefeather! He is Bluestar's uncle and the doomed 'destined' medicine cat in thunderclan at the beginning of Bluestar's Prophecy. For a long time that was all we knew of him, and that he chased Crookedstar into the stepping stone that broke his jaw, before he got his own novella. With that short story though he presents an intresting premise of a cat with arguably more prophetic power than Jayfeather with no ability to change the course of history, forced to know every evil long before it comes to pass with no way to prevent it. This explanation both confirms and contradicts his 'future' behavior in Bluestar's prophecy in that his fatalistic nature makes way more sense, but his part played especially in Moonflower's death seems almost apathetic on re read. I don't know! he's an interesting character but I walk away from his narrative not knowing what readers are supposed to take from it besides everything is doomed and we have no free will haha. Fan assigned goracle (gay oracle) based on vibes
Rabbitfur! He is the elder in Mapleshade's Vengeance who judges her children for not being able to jump far. He is an unpleasant character to read because he's a judgemental old man, and despite the way it hurts the kits feelings and makes their mother uncomfortable he doesn't seem to get a clue. I'm not sure why being a child who doesn't jump far should make a cat be suspicious that they're not thunderclan, much less not Birchface's kits, and the fact that he just about says so out loud makes him pretty unlikeable! Even if he was right that just seems like not a way to be to kits haha.
Thrushtalon! He is another minor background character in Mapleshade's Vengeance, who appears on the hunting patrol that Frecklewish is singled out for vengeance on. When they discover her bitten by an adder Bloomheart orders him to go back to camp and retrieve fennel from the medicine den. I designed him with a lot of chest/foreleg spots because I like thrushes and they have lots of those, but you can delete as many as needed.
Seedpelt! He is a Thunderclan warrior and minor background character in Mapleshade's Vengeance. He has no speaking lines, but helps Bloomheart pull Frecklewish away from Mapleshade when the truth is revealed, and is present to find Frecklewish when she is struck by an adder. Bloomheart commands him to fetch soaked moss to wash the venom from her eyes.
Bloomheart! He is a minor background character in Mapleshade's vengeance with one line about how he raised her better than becoming a clan traitor. That said, I liked the small details in warriors sometimes, a lot of the thunderclan cats have foliage based names in this novella, and Bloomheart is not a name typically considered for a tom. I like to think it implies he was a kinder cat than average in thunderclan.
Flowerpaw! She is the Thunderclan apprentice in Mapleshade's Vengeance that jumps in after Birchface when he falls into the river and they both perish. She is only known off page and doesn't have any characterization beyond being a tragedy. But! because I can, I like to think that she is somehow related to Ravenwing, either as a niece or a half sibling, because it makes more sense to me for him to feel justified against throwing Mapleshade and literal children out if he has skin in the game. I've also seen fan theories that Birchface was his secret boyfriend, but I like this idea better.
I also designed a cat for Frecklewish and Birchface's mom before realizing that there isn't a named character there lmao. have my extra drawing for her anyway!
Oakstar! He is the leader of Thunderclan in Mapleshade's Vengeance, and while there is a fandom interpretation of him is that he is a nasty dude who loves war I don't know that that was my impression of him haha. He does at first genuinely want what's best for Mapleshade and her kits, more than the average leader because he believed them to be his kin. To me it was understandable the level of betrayal he and Frecklewish feel when it's revealed their true father killed their kin, which was made more inflammatory because Mapleshade allowed them to believe that Birchface was her mate. I don't think that leveling judgement on three children was right, but Mapleshade? Absolutely. She was a clan traitor with the one cat that would have been the worst to choose in the situation haha. He could have easily punished her by keeping the kits, but I also believe that they would have been social outcasts in Thunderclan forever more so in the kits case there was no good solution. But as for being battle hungry and blood thirsty? He has no confirmed kills in the series, and is no more battle ready than any other leader imo, just tends to hold a grudge against riverclan for killing his first son.
Beetail! He is the Thunderclan deputy in Mapleshade's Vengeance. In MV he does very little and is a guy tm, Mapleshade does tell him first that she is expecting kits and will be raising them alone, which he then tells to Frecklewish. Unsure if this was just literal telephone or if he told Frecklewish because he supposed that the recently deceased Birchface is the father, the narrative doesn't say and Frecklewish asks Mapleshade as such of her own accord. He does appear in Goosefeather's curse as a ghost, and helps Goosekit find the missing apprentice Swiftpaw (breeze).
Ravenwing! He is the Thunderclan Medicine cat in Mapleshade's Vengeance, who sees her showing her kits the river and her private exchange with Appledusk and tells their leader. He also has an omen about it but tbh might have been forged who knows. He is a danger doctor in my mind, but not as scary as Hawkheart from Bluestar's Prophecy but in the same category. I don't know that he was evil but it's a vibe. Could that be distorted by Mapleshade's narrative? Absolutely. Do I still love his death scene? You bet, it goes so hard and is metal af.
Nettlebreeze! Or Nettlepaw in Mapleshade's Vengeance, He tries to help Maple and I think that's nice. I don't have any other thoughts about him! He apparently is the same cat as Nettlebreeze in Goosefeather's curse, so I included an old version of him as well.
Birchface! He is Oakstar's son, that is killed off page before Mapleshade's Vengeance even begins by Appledusk in an accident during a battle for sunning rocks. Literally no personality, but beloved by the clan. I also find it personally interesting that he is Tigerstar the first's half uncle, so I decided to design him with some of that Tiger nobility. I also think that because he is dark brown it does give freckle some reason to believe Larchkit might be his at least. Anyway! a Man.
