Warrior Cats: The New Prophecy (but emo!! >:D)

To celebrate the new graphic novel release I decided to finish a "poster" I had in mind for a long time now~

Non-canon fanart of Brambleclaw and Squirrelpaw by graphic novel artist Sammy Savos. How cute!

The new prophecy gang, medieval edition. They kind of look like a dnd party, ngl.

I really struggle to design clothes (these will /not/ be accurate to any particular period, or make sense practically I'm sure) and I'm also not too sure about weapon choices yet, but this was more about their dynamic as a group so I'm at peace with it lol. I wrote some fun facts if you want themm, but some might be a little lost in the sauce of the au (lack context, rip)

Crowpaw brings his late father's greyhound Hoprunner with him, who Brambleshoot ends up forming a bond with. It's Brambleshoot who leaves the group early (after Midnight, pre-Feathertail's death) to ride Hoprunner back to the kingdoms, to warn of the incoming storm/flood

((in this au the kingdoms are flooded, which forms the lake within the existing forest territories))

Crow and Squirrel are both unknighted and therefore "unnamed", Crow being a young squire and Squirrel having failed her final test (a trial set by Starclan)

Despite Feathertail's best efforts, the others are initially cautious of the young princess's intentions and its Squirrel's brash honesty and humour that initially brings everyone together as friends.

Stormpath admires these traits as being so unlike the insincerity of the River Kingdom's court and he develops a strong, unreturned crush on her (she's aroace, but doesn't get a chance to realise this until late in life)

Brambleshoot wasn't chosen by Starclan, Squirrel was; his insecurity about this, plus his early departure, holds him back from fully connecting with the others

Tawnypelt fights the hardest against bonding on an emotional level, too aware of their eventual separation and determined to keep things professional. She becomes the unofficial leader, working well with Feathertail who handles the more "personable" aspects of a leadership role.

They form mutual romantic feelings before Feathertail dies as a result of a jointly made plan. This devastates Tawny and she’s the first to pull away from the others upon returning to the kingdoms.

Stormpath is the only of the six Tawnypelt keeps in regular contact with.

"It was either that or Crowpelt."

This is one of my earliest ideas for a Warrior Cats comic, so thank you to this community for actually giving me the motivation to make it! There's a lot more where this came from--in fact, the next one will be a sort of indirect follow-up to this comic! Can't say how soon that'll come out, though.

Tawnypelt's design still doesn't look quite right to me. I'll probably have to workshop it more. Also, have you ever noticed how many of these characters have amber eyes? I sure didn't until I put them all in one scene together.
