Just know that you absolutely don't have to do all of them if you don't want to ! Feel free to only do the interesting ones

Sorry if headshots aren't enough to diagnose some of them, fullbodies are tiring to draw lol (I hope the differences between shorthair and longhair are noticeable enough)

Couple notes:

-the amount of white I put on their faces is around equal to the amount of white on their whole bodies, eg roseclaw & roachspring have high white, sandstone & pochardpaw have medium-ish white, etc. If there's white specifically not on the face I noted it below

-cause you already did roachspring you don't have to do him again lol

-pearlpaw has a white tail tip

-darkshine and spiderstream have vitiligo, i don't know if that would allow them to have natural blue eyes

-kestrelkit has a white leg

-stormfrost has no white, they have one of the weird blue eyes genes

-flameleap is a trans guy

Also.. could I maybe see hypokits of stormfrost (mom) and flameleap (dad, pretending that he's amab and could have kits)?

oh wowie!! a real challenge... rubbin my hands together like a fly

pearlpaw is a shorthair cinnamon self minkpoint with low white! was quite tied between mink and sepiapoint for her, but in the end, the color restriction is still pretty significantly lighter than the base

glacierclan under the cut!

thistlestar is a longhair blue ticked tabby and a longhair caramel self, as well as a chimera! caramel was the ONLY fitting color i could find for thistlestar's tortie patches, so chimerism it is for her! i also call her blue parts ticked just for the darker little marks on her face. i'd have called every other cat with them ticked, but then we'd just have a weird amount of ticked tabbies in this one clan, and on the torts it doesn't show on their red, so i'm not counting it

stonetail is a shorthair blue self minkpoint!

sunheart is a shorthair apricot self! i choose apricot over cream due to it appearing more orangey than cream usually does, but certainly not red by my standards. apricot is about as close to gold as i think we're gonna get!

nettleleaf is a longhair chocolate unknown tabby with low white! i can't tell for the life of me what kind of tabby these cats are without body marks, so they get a brand new label from me

stormfrost is a longhair blue self smoke! cats with darker spots like stormfrost are so incredibly difficult to gene.... cats just don't really look like that irl, so coming up with an excuse is hard to say the least ^^" but smoke is what i've got for them specifically

owlbriar is a shorthair lilac self!

yellowbriar is a longhair fawn self!

sleetstripe is a longhair chocolate self with low white! i think the head stripe is white spotting anyway?

flameleap is a longhair black/red self tortoiseshell with low white!

ravenfang is a shorthair black self with low white!

roseclaw is a longhair black/red self tortoiseshell with high white!

spiderstream is a shorthair black self with vitiligo! i'm frankly unsure if vitiligo in cats can cause blue eyes [or at the least harbor them], but i'd wager likely so? it is just the cat losing pigment over time, and blue eyes are generally tied to fur/skin pigment to my knowledge

redpaw is a longhair chocolate/red self tortoiseshell!

pochardpaw is a shorthair cinnamon self with low white!

hornetpaw is a longhair chocolate unknown tabby! ...yeah, strange diagnosis for the really red cat, but hear me out okay. i judge color based on the stripes. hornet's stripes? pretty damn brown. so, i call him a high-rufoused chocolate tabby

laburnumpaw is a shorthair red unknown tabby with high white! this one's mackerel to me, but again, can't see their bodies

nightstorm is a shorthair black self!

cherrykit is a shorthair black/red self tortoiseshell!

kestrelkit is a shorthair black self with low white!

sagefoot is a longhair blue unknown tabby with high white!

mothkit is a shorthair blue self!

darkshine is a longhair black self with vitiligo!

sandstone is a longhair cinnamon spotted tabby with low white!

i will disclose here btw, my diagnosis of chocolate/cinnamon tabbies is not 100% accurate, given irl they have VERY light backgrounds. however, this is warrior cats, and i kind of don't care /silly

FORGOT TO ADD TO THE POST. i can do hypokits a little later! i'll ping ya in that, look out for it ^^

Slides over it and runs away

love his design!!

bayousplash is a longhair blue minkpoint with high white! not often i get to do pointies! i give it mink specifically, even though i did consider sepia, due to the lighter parts being a bit too light to be sepia

extra fun fact: genetically, minkpoints [cscb] are a result of a cat having genes for both colorpoint [cscs] and sepiapoint [cbcb], giving them an “inbetween” amount of color restriction!

yk what heres an oc i based directly off of my cat. go my barkgaze

HELLO BARKGAZE AKA ARTHUR!! first pointie of the blog... ty bestie

barkgaze is a shorthair chocolate self minkpoint with low white! which is fun, since i believe arthur is a sepia? and mink is between colorpoint and sepia!
