warrior cats drawn (not so) poorly

by logdweller & mossfreak

[logdweller-and-mossfreak]

A project by fandom veteran, Mossfreak (@bookgilled), and fandom in-law, Logdweller (@bytevamp).

howdy! i’m logdweller (he/it/they) :D i read warrior cats back in elementary and middle school, but never got super into it into it. i have a soft spot for drawing warrior cats (+ ocs) though, even if i’m not exactly part of the fandom. i’m here to draw ‘em purely based on vibes and or official descriptions and or whatever i remember about them :]

Hello! I'm Mossfreak (they/them). You may know me from my main wc blog (@hickorytwist) or my wc rewrite blog (@wtwcr-rewrite). I too read warriors back in elementary and middle school and it has been one of my main fixations on and off since then. I am currently doing a reread of the series, in order, based on the canon timeline. I will be drawing characters according to my personal impressions and interpretations/headcanons. ^_^

Requests for cats are open! If you’d like a specific artist to draw something, you are welcome to mention that in your request as well!

(IDs in alt text) Sol! Genuinely one of my favorite characters ever. I know a lot of fanon interprets him as this powerful, suave guy which is fun but it delights me that he’s honestly pretty pathetic in canon. I love the headcanon that he’s trans. <3

I think his actual design(s) is/are iconic in their own right so it’s always hard for me to think of something new with him. I decided to aim for simple fun with this drawing so there may not be as much, idk, uniformity here? But that’s okay with me; I think I’d like to open myself to experimenting more with my approach in the future. —Mossfreak

i don’t remember much about this guy other than the fact that he is cunty as hell LOL. wanted to go for the classic calico approach since like mossfreak said his actual design is iconic but i also wanted to experiment with a sorta tabby-calico approach too like his newer design on the warriors website. i think there’s some things i might do differently if i were to draw him again but i’m overall pretty pleased with this :3

hi I would love to request lightleap and her child poolkit if possible... sorry if it's not but yours guys art is rlly cool.

(IDs in alt text) Lightleap and Poolkit/paw !

Admittedly I don’t know much about these characters because I’m still catching up on recent arcs but I know Lightleap has fans on here so I was happy to draw her <3 I made Poolkit/paw a bit more kit-sized rather than apprentice height because of the suffix you used in your request, hope that’s okay! Decided to give Poolkit a touch of orange and wavy fur from her dad :) —Mossfreak

Currently working on a doc with all of the designs done so far and upcoming characters to draw. We have one request in our inbox at the moment, so I encourage sending us a name or two if you see this! —Mossfreak

To Mossfreak - I wouldn’t mind seeing Violetshine or Twigbranch drawn solo by you!

(ID in alt text) Violetshine and Twigbranch!

I’ve had the sketch for this lying around since September of last year, haha. Picked it up again because I am currently reading AVOS for the first time! I really love these two and the differences in their surroundings + how they think. Thank you for the request!

[logdweller-and-mossfreak]

are ships allowed to be requested, or is it only individual cats?

if ships can be requested, then, may i request some FireGray (Fire[paw/heart/star] x Gray[paw/stripe])?

if not though, then, maybe Sol?

also, you two's art is great, keep up the good work!

(ID in alt text) Greystripe and Firestar! Had a lot of fun with this request, was good practice for interactive posing. I’ve had these two designed for a while and I’m satisfied with how they look still, so I didn’t make too many changes. Kitties in love <3 —Mossfreak

[logdweller-and-mossfreak]

(ID in alt text) Darktail! I’ve always imagined him as a colorpoint and I think the browner colors make more sense than pure white and black, given his father. I wanted to make him a lynx point but he ended up looking too Hawkfrost-y :P —Mossfreak

[logdweller-and-mossfreak]

Could I request Jay (Yellowfang's Secret/Tallstar's Revenge) please? (sorry if this is a repeat)

(ID in alt text) Jay! I admire your dedication to acknowledging her through design blog requests. She’s a great character. —Mossfreak

[logdweller-and-mossfreak]

(ID in alt text) Onestar! I really like this guy and I’m on team “his change in character made a lot of sense, actually”. Currently reading AVOS for the first time and enjoying it so this felt like a natural guy to draw :) —Mossfreak

[logdweller-and-mossfreak]

Can i request Foxheart?

(ID in alt text) Foxheart! She and Lizardstripe deserved better from the authors.

I don’t know if you can tell but I used CSP on my new Cintiq instead of Procreate on my iPad for this one :) experimenting with programs! Yay! —Mossfreak

[logdweller-and-mossfreak]

tallstar? 😳

Recently reread his super edition for the first time since it came out! Neat guy. -Mossfreak

[logdweller-and-mossfreak]

raggedstar maybe?

Raggedstar! Thought this would be a good time to draw him, as I’m rereading Yellowfang’s Secret. Thank you for the request. -Mossfreak

Have you done scourge yet? :D

shadow the hedgehog ass cat (affectionate) - logdweller

One of the characters ever -Mossfreak

[logdweller-and-mossfreak]

Half Moon.

I don’t really remember a lot about her from POT but I thought she was neat the few times she showed up in DOTC and I also love interpretations of her relationship with Jayfeather. I’m of the opinion that the time travel plot is kind of cool actually -Mossfreak

Currently have two requests and one separate post in progress that both of us want to take a shot at. Anyone have any cats they wouldn’t mind being drawn solo by me? -Mossfreak
