Urthstripe: The less I know about people's affairs, the happier I am. I once worked with a colonel for three years and never learned his name. Best soldier I ever had. Urthstripe: We still never talk sometimes.

I would like to ask what are your thoughts on book and cartoon Pallum?

I like Pallum in both versions! Not my fav of the MtW cast (I tend to fixate on Felldoh), but a solid character nonetheless.

I would like to ask did you feel sad for the Rooks and Magpies that constance took down in the last episode of mattimeo?

I felt sad for the Rook and Magpie that Constance took down by bumping their heads into each other before saving stryk Redkite.

yeah a lil bit, but I can't blame her for saving Stryk because I love Stryk too <3

Hello, I would like to ask what would you do if you were one of general ironbeak corvid soldiers during Mattimeo? And what species of corvid would you be?

I think I'd have to be a rook haha! Username tax. They're cool, but they don't get as much love because they aren't as pretty as crows and magpies. I like them just as much though, I'm happy to give them some representation!

I'd probably leave once the siege turned out to be difficult and then there was a GHOST, like I wouldn't mess with that. IIRC a couple rooks deserted and survived, so I guess I'd be one of them. I'd love to say I'd defect and join Redwall for the food, but idk if I'd be brave enough for that. I wouldn't want to mess with Ironbeak, ravens are big! I'd just fly off into the woods and eat berries.

I see in the Redwall tag you've been asking around lol. I appreciate the corvid love! They deserve it! It's too bad they're always minor villains in Redwall, they're so cool and they deserve a better role.

I also have a Redwall blog over at @captainmirefleck so I'll rb this there too

Damn Mattimeo is brave to say to Slagar's face that he only lives for vengeance now.

On the other hand: hello parallels.

After three tries I think I’m finally happy with my woodlander height chart for the Redwall books. And thus release the image onto the internet!

I have a lot of feelings about costuming, (hares I’m looking at you) and was trying to keep as medieval as possible.

Though, upon re-reading the series, as much as the world is built on vibes - so is the costuming 🤣 (I say this with great affection, mind you).

After much reading and researching, this felt like the most logical proportions I came up with (and tended to imagine as I read).

So if you’ve seen my doodles or my comics, this is the scale I am working from!

(And now I’m off to draw those 6 fan-arts!)

Happy Redwall Day! 🐭⚔️

This was originally for a Google Doodle project to commemorate Brian Jacques' birthday! Drew Matthias wielding Martin the Warrior's sword and shield! I've always loved the Redwall series since I was in middle school. It's one of my most beloved books I've read that helped me become an artist today with my Kingzvire original art series <3

[rose-of-redwall]

Happy birthday, Brian Jacques!!

Canon Fact: The name "Cluny" is a legend and a boogeyman. Before his arrival none of the Abbey mice believed that he was real

Conjecture: Vermin are generally expected to change their names upon adulthood (I just can't imagine moms are going around naming their children things like Frogblood and Mangefur)

Now consider the idea that the name "Cluny" predates Cluny the Scourge- upon reaching a point of sufficient success in his warlord career, he changed his name to match this legend in order to take advantage of this reputation

[captainmirefleck]

Ooh I love this, it makes so much sense! That's so something Cluny would do and it adds to the worldbuilding in such a fun way!

I absolutely agree about the vermin name change tradition too, especially because a few canon villains like Slagar and Urgan Nagru re-named themselves. And then tons of other vermin have names based on a defining trait that wouldn't emerge until later in life, eg. Ashleg wasn't born with a wooden leg (even if it's a congenital limb difference, he wouldn't get a prosthesis until he could walk).
