wait got reminded of my Leafp design with her holly leaf (after well Hollyleaf) and another leaf on her little head that's pretty notably spotted. Ok chat what if. She has one holly leaf after her daughter, one spotted leaf after Spottedleaf, one moth wing that could be either read as being for Moth Flight or Mothwing

ok so i can't draw again (i mean i can i just don't think i should if i want to have a good time. but also i wanna. so that's that!) but i can't stay silent about the cats much longer i think for most of the time i don't really post drawings ill just make posts about my design ideas and just how its going more wc design blogs should do that (for me) (im nosy and need to hear everything behind ur thought processes to make needletail orange)
Currently drawing Crowfeather (to all of main followers that saw that wip. yea that was him) and my design of him has barely changed since like 2-3 years he's very clear to me. Unlike most other people that stick with small skinny and short-furred Crowf I see him as like. Really tall. Like intimidatingly so. Long-furred With a mane around his neck and a huge tail that's nearly the size of the rest of his body. Had bad posture as an apprentice but the worse person he gets the more it improved and now he's insulting Breezepaw for not standing straight. This is 50% because I like him that way and another 50% so that he's more similiar to Brambleclaw and shares like a few face markings with him too but not too much. But also that idea kinda aged since I prefer Bramble short-furred now and I think it's funnier if hollyjaylion look absolutely nothing like bramblesquirrel
He gets the mane and the real big cloud-like tail from Ashfoot I think though her would look more like smoke. Deadfoot is short-furred to me
Next up I got a request for Dovewing and am rubbing my hands together like hehe cause I know what I'm gonna do with her. Saw this brown Dovewing design from Catsoftheclans and never went back she's dark brown to me now forever. There's too many solid gray cats anyway and it's too hard to make them very distinct from each other now but I also might be biased cause I think normal gray is boring. Also I don't think I'm gonna keep the green eyes I like her with amber or like red or even dark gray eyes more
Whitewing and Ashfur as Dove and Ivy's parents cause I'm still very attached to that headcanon for several reasons. (Whitewing and Birchfall still raised them though but they're not mates or anything. Whitewing wanted him cause Ashfur kinda just used her to make himself feel like a Tom again and then got murdered and she doesn't feel like can really do this anymore tbh, Birchfall wanted her to cover up his relationship with Applefur and also cause he genuinely cares about White and wanted to help. Ok I'm done)
^Connected to both of the above: basing the Brindleface bloodline off of pigeon/dove species and domestic color variants. Ashfur is a luzon bleeding-heart (of course), Dovewing is very loosely based off the brown cuckoo-dove, Shadowsight has either blue or red eyes now or maybe both at the same time (look it makes sense. lookat me) and is based off the crowned pigeon and i need you to google crowned pigeon really quick adn you will understand what im saying. Pouncestep is a rock dove or you know the Standard pigeon. Bristlefrost is either a mindanao or negros bleeding-heart (its essential she's a bleeding heart like Ash and also other reasons) and Birchfeather can be. idk a mourning or turtle dove. Everyone else is up in the air currently. Thank you so much for my bird-obsessed headmate shoutout I love you
Honestly I think im gonna. Incorporate a bunch of my family tree headcanons into this blog I don't really care about sticking too close to canon whether it is the actual designs or who I make them look related to
uhhh Jayfeather has amber eyes. Nightcloud as a tuxedo cat and Breezepelt having white markings inspired by Cloudtail's (the. design blog) designs of them. Blue eyes Firestar maybee. Silverstream's wave tail inspired by Warriorsdesignsnick's design of her but also she's a little bit brown to me but only a bit and her eyes are green. Tortie Flametail mayyybee. I need to make more cats look like identical (or near-identical) twins and more girls should have cat beards and moustaches if we're giving those to male characters then we gotta do that to the female chars too. I also like Bird--egg's Jayf design a bit I could see him being pretty brownish but I think he's gonna be more of a warmer-toned gray in mine. Blue eyes Mothwing.
Sorry word limit. Berryheart being like an inverted Darktail. Also Cascadingserenity used to be my favourite wc artist growing up that I also took lots of inspiration from which is probably gonna be at least a little bit evident. Also split-faced "torties" Lionblaze and Hollyleaf with Lion's half resembling Crowf and Holly's being Leaf's inspired by Catsoftheclans designs of them. And Jayf could be uhhh. um. He can be. Anyway I think that's all I allow myself to say
I like to be very upfront about which art I'm inspired with or taking little bits of for my own. Mostly cause I just want to share every single detail behind what I put on that canvas but also because.... The wc fandom (at least on here and youtube im not really anywhere else so I won't know) is really weird about the concept of just taking inspiration from other people's art? Like... Guys it's not "copyright infringement" or "stealing" this is what's been happening in art for so many years it's literally so normal and straight up encouraged for artists. It's fine you don't need anyone's "permission" to take the way they like, i don't know, draw eyes or shade and then incoprorate that into your own artstyle. You can just do that. Please do that you will learn so much. Guys please

*looks around and sniffs the blog*
there is a shocking lack of thistleclaw here
Hehe....... I did draw Thistle before, but not on this blog and definitely not anytime lately. I got a few past Thistle's on my phone still;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^both thistle designs from 2020. first one was already 5 years ago as of yesterday (waow), i dunno when exactly the second one got drawn but it was probably sometime later that year since it looks pretty different from left. Wanted him to look more WindClan-y on the right........
Tumblr media
Probably the latest Growling brand Thistleclaw, aka a concept of him in 2023 back when I was making lots of these... Still kinda like it but would probably give him more fur and dark patches
Also fun fact about my Thistle designs: when I was a warriors kid I got this really cool crayon that I liked that was this like, real bright pinkish-orange and I would use it very sparingly, either for some oc markings or Thistleclaw's eyes whenever I drew him. To this day I just keep associating it with Thistle, and always imagine his eyes being this ungodly neon pinkish-orange. It was evil of me to not include them in the 2023 concept what was 2 years ago me thinking.............

I renamed him Boarcharge/Clawedface (<- honor renaming by Brokenstar) in the growlverse rewrite™ and regularly forget his actual name is Clawface because of that. Anyway his main deal in the two books he appears in is that he steals babies and kills people and is in Brokenstar's manservant squad. Gave him smaller scars on his paws from all the kits trying to fight back while getting yoinked. So long gay Dominic

Everybody cheer and clap for the guy who got used as target practice (in hell) one day and fucking died, went to hell, then the literal same thing happened and he died again. When cats go train in hell (they learned fucked up and evil martial arts in cat hell back then. taught by the ghost cat equivalents of Joseph Stalin and Jack the Ripper) they need to be asleep so their soul can leave their body (so it can get secretly summoned to cat hell), so when Antpelt died the first time his family basically just woke up one day from the scheduled kitty eepy pile time and he he was just laying next to them mysteriously covered in gunshots and stab wounds and it was just briefly mentioned in a chapter and glossed past like a few paragraphs later so. I guess they just thought "Damn. That's weird. No investigation will be done let's just assume a fox got him and was just really quiet this whole time. It happens"

Whitewing, Dewnose, Snowbush + Cloudtail designs! Dewnose is the same shade of gray as Cinderpelt (so is Lilyheart. his brother's wife. and first cousin).

Sorrelstripe, Fernsong and Spotfur designs! They're mostly a mix of their parents traits (like all my designs), only with Fernsong having Lionheart's (his great-grandpa's) colors instead.

Poppyfrost, Lilyheart and Cinderheart designs! Honeyfern, Seedpaw and Molepaw just aren't that relevant so I'll probably do the rest of brackensorrel kids way later.

Crowfeather (redesign)
Tumblr media
Shitty grandpa #2. Gave him some of Bramblestar's features (similiar face stripes, tiger stripes on legs and back) so the three look at least a little bit like him. Large for a Windclan cat.
