design notes below the cut

-black silver ticked tabby longhair

-his stripes are meant to be cloudlike

-his face shape is very jayclaw, but his large ears, eyelashes, ear fluff, and ruff are curlfeather

-shares a palette with jayclaw and frostdawn

-gray eyes and ticking from jayclaw

-he's broken mackerel under the ticking

-his face markings are similar to his uncle owlnose

[timberheart-wcdesigns]

mistpool!

design notes + alt tortie design below the cut

-longhair black classic tabby with med white spotting

-she could also read as chocolate, it doesn't super matter (my jayclaw is Bb and curlf is bb)

-i couldn't make tortie work genetically, so i gave her a lot of rufousing and color variation to hopefully get the same effect

-i wanted her fur to be super wavy and look like misty water

-she got jayclaw's foot feathering, nose, and stripes

-her eyelashes, ear tufts, fur color, and eye color come from curlfeather

-she's the largest in this family, only taller than curlfeather by a little bit. the whole family is still on the smaller side tho

alt canon tortie design

frostdawn's questionable dad

design notes below the cut

-blue silver ticked tabby longhair with low white spotting

-based on the Florida scrub jay (which you should look up they're v cool)

-his lightest bits are the same color as frostdawn's

-also he has gray eyes in canon which is cool the only other gray-eyed cat i can think of off the top of my head is brook

-i highkey don't like this guy but alas

[timberheart-wcdesigns]

i could write encyclopedias...

design notes + simplified markings below the cut

-chocolate sepia point (idk how i'm going to make mistpool a tortie maybe she'll just be really rufoused instead who knows)

-frostdawn got her curled ears, ear fluff, eyelashes, and poofiness

-upside-down heart motif in her shapes and markings

-her old design was partially based on a pintail duck but that doesn't really read anymore so now she's just. based.

simplified design:

Frostpaw -> Frostdawn

Design notes below the cut\

-small, she doesn't actually grow much between apprenticeship and full medicine cat status.

-she gets fluffier and slightly darker

-first scar from stitches looks like leaves on a vine bc medicine cat, the second scar covers it partially.

-to distinguish her from the other gray cats with blue eyes, her eyes are more purple-y and shes a blue colorpoint (which is canon yay first canon colorpoint mc)

-gains a third eyelash thing in adulthood, as well as curlier ear fluff and darker ear tips

-gets her colorpointedness and fluffiness from Curlfeather, gets her small build and blue coloration from Jayclaw

-rounded pupils, even in the light. give her a sort of starry-eyed look

and who could forget dear rat boy?

design notes below the cut

•went the Lykoi-inspired route as he is said to be sparse-haired and patchy and i didn't have it in me to give him mange

• he's actually black instead of "dark brown" because i noticed that chocolate lykois are pretty light in color

•rat teeth yass

•i headcanon that he and his sister Snowbird were brought to the clans as apprentices for the sake of genetic diversity what with birdy's family tree being so massive atp

•also headcanon that he was tnr'd before being apprenticed but his sister was not. hence the. eventual dynasty.

THE shadowclan QUEEN

design notes/references below the cut

•her markings and general shape language were inspired by the rock ptarmigan (below)

•wanted her to look soft and sleek but still thick-furred and longhaired

• i added the black and red despite her pure white description because i plan on designing her lineage and wanted to be able to carry some of her markings through

•i'm not sure if i'm considering her tortie or if the ptarmigan eyelids are just lashes or something. we'll see

[timberheart-wcdesigns]

leaf (TNP-TBC, ASC-CS)

design notes & transparent images below the cut

•fawn/cream tortie

•she's intended to be a Savannah Cat (ServalxDomestic Cat hybrid). Iidon't endorse breeding F1 hybrid cats

• i've decided that iI'll continue to do leader marks but i'm working out a system. i'll edit this post once i figure it out lol

•her pelt gets duller and she gains a gray muzzle on top of the failing eyesight post TBC

•she's the exaggerated ideal of ancient skyclan: long, muscular legs, sturdy paws, hefty tail for balance; there is not really a "standard" in modern skyclan

•leaf motifs in her ear fluff, patches, and spots

[timberheart-wcdesigns]

squilfstar

design notes below the cut

•if Fiestar looks like a ruddy Somali cat, Squilf is more like a red (ginger) Somali

•white paw resembles fire

•her leader mark is the star shape on her back, it’s shaped more like a diamond prior to getting her nine lives

•her eye shape is a pretty even mix of Sandstorm and Firestar, and her eye color is slightly more muted than Firestar’s

•she is shorter than Leafpool but more muscular

•the red squirrel inspo is pretty obvious but yeah that

[timberheart-wcdesigns]

cat who should get to kill god

design notes below the cut

•she’s always described as lithe in the books so I tried to capture that but also wanted her to have meat on her bones

•she’s a chocolate tabby, it’s not that important but does mean she gets a cute pink nose

•her stripes on her back and hind leg are meant to resemble leaf shapes

•the white nose bridge shows up in Alderheart bc aunt moment

•she looks like Nutmeg but she resembles Princess even more so

•the stripes on her tail look like a leafy vine from above

•Jayfeather gets similar striping

[timberheart-wcdesigns]

last of the Frostfour ! it’s the patrol guy

design notes below the cut

•his head shape is most similar to Frostfur’s

•the stripes on his legs and tail are meant to resemble thorns

•tail shape is also meant to look like one of those long pointy thorns I see on trees sometimes

•his teef poke out bc it’s cute. so.

•he’s the second tallest sibling, it goes Bright, Thorn, Bracken, and Cinder

•his pattern is passed down to Eaglewing and Shellfur

[timberheart-wcdesigns]

stack stack, bill bill

design notes below the cut

•realistically the fur around her eye would have grown back pretty well but I’d rather depict her scar as “too obvious” than it not be readable as Brightheart

•heart shaped markings on her hindquarter and the base of her tail

•she and Thornclaw take after Frostfur in appearance, but she shares Lionheart’s eye shape w Cinder

•she and Thornclaw are both classic tabbies but her markings are much rounder; she passes these on to Bayshine

[timberheart-wcdesigns]

it’s bracken time

design notes below the cut

•he and Cinderpelt take after Lionheart in appearance

•he inherited the mane from Lionheart

•tabby markings are intended to mimic fern/bracken shapes

•he and Cinder both have four white socks bc it’s cute

•his eye shape mimics Frostfur’s, and he shares this trait w Thornclaw

•he’s the only mackerel tabby in his litter
