People be calling men with two strands of chest hair and completely fit and muscular bodies "bears" and then scream when seeing someone with more than 15% body fat
My reworked Guide to the Dragons of Pyrrhia if it was written as an in universe reference for the characters in the book! Under the cut are my revamped descriptions of dragons and their abilities, accompanied with art of important figures both past and present in the tribes. This was really fun to finally finish and I hope I can post more stuff like this once Iâve gotten deep into my rewrite!

Abilities: Can breathe Firebreath in quick bursts, igniting faster than any other tribe. Known to survive for months without food or water. Their stingers can inject a slow-acting venom that is deadly if left untreated.

I was supposed to post this earlier but then Leopardstar happened in the recent chapter and I dropped everything to do a sketch of that--
anywhos. The Last clan, WindClan!
Similar to ShadowClan no seperated images and more Undercut!
Rookstar - I couldn't take away his tallest. but I did try to make him look much older than the rest with the hint of a mullet :> I also had to give him a unicorn beard because that. that fits him.
Deadfoot - I have a alternative version where his leg is more visibly scarred/twisted. I also keep in line with having his claws out on his injured foot. Also look how serious they all are
Buzzardface - It is so hard to judge what makes a cat handsome oh my god. Anyways seriously long face, knowing smirk and large round pupils since that's very Windclan. Shaved his neck fur and gave him a fluffy shoulder to give buzzard/vulture.
Morningflower - I love and adore her so muuuuch. Again, wanted to make her (along with all other Matriachs) physically intimidating without removing their Clan appearance. I chose to make her very alpaca, very shaped. very blocky. Windclanners probably lean less fluff but ALSO they experience winter too!
Being asexual and racist is embarassing as fuck. Being racist at all is obviously embarassing as fuck but the amount of racism and especially antiblackness i have been seeing from asexuals recently is obscene.
One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.
And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.
Edit: why are you all too scared to repost this. Cmon. Be vocal about being against racism
Shadowclan from the redux! No individual shots because theyâre so,, itty bitty. And of course, beginning of RSR
Not really more under the cut, just thoughts
Blackstar - no comment really
Russetfur - I wanted to give her a cool scar. So I gave her a cheek-into-left-ear scar that caused it to flop over, as well as a few on the neck. And a little bit of a mullet. From what we've seen of her, she's quite serious imo.
Fognose & Littlecloud - I really do adore the connection between the clans, but especially how it's shown between Shadowclan's seer and apprenticeship. The clans really do feel like a big family, but to me? it's really shown through the special attention Seer wardens give to their Seer. Anyways uh. Fognose and Littlecloud-- not that much honestly!
Poppytail - Could not keep out the fact that in canon, she's named after her height. Not as tall as other matriarchs, but I find her just as intimidating.
@redux-iterum
Again, Iterum version and Starting at the Beginning of RSR~!
More detail below :)
Leopardstar
I left the sketch in to show her absolute hatred of Greystripe :)
She really is a gorgeous cat.. Lots of what I did was give her multiple black moles around her body
Stonefur / Mudcloud
Stonefur was so easy to draw. He seemed like a jolly guy from what I read. Also cat mustaches
Mudcloud! I paired them so it looked like Stone was telling a great joke or story. I really wanted to make it look like Mudcloud unfortunately got splashed by mud on one side of his body. Also gave him a few notable scars from that time he almost got assassinated by rogues. More scars in the future for the other cats!
Duck flower
There isnât much on Duckflower, earnestly. Keeping to âbig protective queenâ that I want :)
Introducing the sentient species of Tremendia! There are 10 notable species: Orcs and Goblins, Dwarves and Elves, Halflings and Gnomes, Humans and Formyns, and lastly, Ikigens and Harpies.
Explore more, later!
(And friend ping here ;o: @clusterflugg @living-dead-guyy )
Gang couldnât sleep at 4 AM and decided to draw Reduxâs big four in ThunderClan, particular at the beginning of RSR
Yay for no sleep :D yay for cat practice!
DustPelt / FireStar / GoldenFlower / AspenPaw and CinderPelt with additional singular posts
More detail under the cut below :o
Back to regaining lost sleep
@redux-iterum
Dustpelt - I read âsturdyâ and immediately decided to make his fur quite blocky. This Dustpelt feels tired because he already is by the beginning of RSR
Firestar - Heâs such a small cat surrounded by giants. Kept his pelt short, yet gave it a âswirlingâ feeling to feel like heat rising.
GoldenFlower - Want to make her look large and intimidating, so sheâs easily the largest out of the big leaders. I also tried to give her more of TCâs âLion-likeâ features while mixing up the standard TC traits. Best hugs too.
AspenPaw - Though sheâs still a paw at the beginning of RSR, she graduates soon so I kept to making her about as large as Dustpelt. Generally just wanted to make her jolly-looking and pleasant
CinderPelt - Iâm actually quite proud how stoical and Calm CinderPelt can look for one second between eating anything and messing with her brothers. I think I could go back and refocus on her scarred foot/tail more though.
