Moon 01, pt 2; Alpineknoll is scarred for life

Original written description of this event below:

(Alpineknoll’s eyes go wide, mouth agape with confused horror. Yewstars only seem to glaze over with a hollow, knowing contempt. 

He motions for her to stay back, but Alpineknoll ignores him, stepping through the bushes and into view of the thunderpath.

What she sees there continues to haunt her, each time she closes her eyes.

A twisted body, back twisted into a u shape and once folded over itself. Paws outstretched, mouth agape. Eyes wide, just glazing over, still full of longing pain. 

She’s only snapped from her horrified stupor when Yewstar carefully approaches, running his tail along her back and speaking her name.

He explains that this is something that happens often. That twolegs are cruel, mindless beasts, that hurt things for the sake of hurting them.)

As you can see some things changed, like the shape of the body, but. Idk I just felt like including the written alternative as well

BY THE WAY!!! WE ARE ACCEPTING NEIGHBOR CLANS!!!

I already have 2 people on board to make clans in this shared universe. Neither have accounts atm but this is okay they’re still part of it. There are also two clans I had ideas for, Hollyclan (mix between sort of catholic patron saints and Greek gods type of a thing, though of course once you take the clan it’s your wiggle room to do as you please) and Bloomclan, which is just a name the game gave me that fits the general theme of this whole thing. Plus I’m also happy to just add more in for anyone’s related ideas! It’s all about varying cat religions essentially, but also ALL of the religions are real at the same time, simultaneously believing they are ‘the right one’ as do all their followers. You know how it is! If anyone’s interested in joining this sort of shared universe thing just message me and I’ll send you a link to the work discord (aka the server where I spam Pineclan screenshots and ramble about cat religion) and we can go from there! Look forward to hopefully meeting some other cat religion enthusiasts

fanart for some clangen // warrior cat comics i've been very into lately !! all of the blogs will be linked below the cut.

PLEASE go check all of them out if you haven't.

Lilac is from @mammoth-clangen - your comic has been on my reading list for ages now and when someone suggested Lilac for this it gave me the perfect opportunity to sit and read. i love the choice to write in first person from the perspectives of the characters. it creates a really intense emotional weight in the story. your art is also just SO stunning. your environment and background work is to die for. Lilac is such a good character. he has this quite dignity around him that i really love in a character.

Coalfrost is from @rainy-wc - rain has heard me gush about shoreclan and The Watchful Eyes of the Sea so so much already but that's not going to stop me from doing it here too. the atmosphere of the comic is so mysterious and bleak in the best way. the way you write the dialogue really feeds into the culty energy, with everything seeming so innocent on paper but also so incredibly guarded that something must be going on. i love the jagged shapes and the use of color so much too. you know i love coalfrost... i can't wait for people to see more of her.

Flowerdaisy and Peakpaw are both from @sunclan-rising - i fell in love with your art the moment i saw it. i love the vibrant colors and sharp lines, and how varied each character's shapes are. it gives them so much personality. seeing what happened to little peakpaw broke me, and then i remembered that flowerdaisy is practically a kit herself at 18 moons??? i can't imagine how this is weighing on her, and can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Greenberry is from @fallenclan - i've probably read through fallenclan in its entirety four or five times at this point. i ADORE the way you draw cats, and the longevity of the comic is such an inspiration to me. i think one of the coolest things about fallenclan is how everyone seems to have their favorite little background character, regardless of their relevance. you're so good at making every single character have so much personality, even if they only show up once or twice. greenberry is my personal fav!! people who know me will know that a character having "green" in their design (or name, in this case) is a surefire way to my heart. she's MY clairvoyant little sweetie...and i was so excited to see her get her new accessory.

Leapmist is from @ask-littleclan - first off... it was SO hard deciding which littleclan cat to draw. your character designs are so next level and inspiring to me!! and the comic is BEAUTIFUL??? the colors are so tasty and the way you use all of the space on each page is insane. like i can only aspire to have that level of visual interest. i chose leapmist because i LOVE how pointy they are, and i figured they deserve it considering their new promotion. i'm so very excited to see where the story goes, and i hope you're able to get lots of rest and that the new term goes super smoothly for you!

Yewstar is from @righteous-pines - if it's not very obvious from the content of gardenclan, i LOVE a story about religion. i'm very excited to see where your comic goes, especially since it starts with this guy losing a life? his design is SO fun. i love a grumpy old man, and his spiky fur and beard are such good details. i am such a big fan of how you draw cats, especially the really round ones. it's SO fun. and the detail and backstories you've given everyone are crazy intriguing.

Doll is from @ask-graveclan - i was torn between drawing doll and whispstar (I LOVE GREEN CATS!) but doll's design is kind of everything to me. every single cat in this clan is breathtaking. seriously. i could look at your art all day? graveclan is so full of mystery and intrigue... i need to know who killed this absolute SWEETIE. i hope her and sunpaw stay safe as they investigate... i'm also so invested in their little ghost romance too...

Siltsplash is from @loudclan-clangen - i've actually made fanart for loudclan before. it feels like ages ago now, but i don't think i would have gone down the clangen comic rabbithole at all if i hadn't found loudclan. it's SO special to me. Siltsplash and Wildfirecry are my faves, but since i've drawn the latter before, Silt was the obvious choice :3 i LOVE them so much and they've suffered more than christ on the cross... i love their relationship with their adopted sons, and their relationship with owlstar, even if i think they should be allowed to throw rocks at him forever. your art is so charming. i love the way you draw cats and i love how expressive everything is. your ability to convey emotion not just through their faces but through colors and framing is SO impressive to me. and the worldbuilding you've done is also so good. it's such a fresh take on the warrior cats formula. you are one of my biggest inspos for Our Garden Under Heaven. i'm SO excited to see where this story goes... and scared. but mostly excited!!

i'm so sorry that i'm incapable of being brief, but i hope you all know how much i love and appreciate your art!! thank you for doing what you do!

Moon 0

[righteous-pines]

Once serving as Pinestar’s beloved mate and doer of dirty work, the formerly savage warrior is now content to lie around camp, basking in the sun, telling the new generation of kits stories about starclan’s glory, and shedding blood in Starclan’s; and Pinestar’s; name. As well as this, she also raised Alpineknoll, her biological granddaughter, after her daughter, Alpineknoll’s mother, died an early death in a cross-clan conflict. She taught her all she knows, and only retired from her warrior duties once Alpineknoll earned her warrior name.

Not wise to sneak out on Thornshade's watch.

Roarkit wasn’t born in Pineclan, but the steep pine forests of Pineclan territory are the only home Roarkit can recall. Unaware of his origin, Roarkit was stolen from Hollyclan during a raid on their camp, with the goal of ‘saving his soul’ and ‘raising him honorably’, ‘ensuring his eventual arrival in Starclan’. However, in a clan where no one looks or sounds like him, where no one claims him as family, he can’t help but feel like the outsider everyone else knows he really is. The more murmurs he hears amongst his clanmates, the more convinced he becomes there’s something to the reason he feels so displaced.

[righteous-pines]

this project is not abandoned btw!!! I’ve just been busy but I have still been working on it piece by piece and also. Mostly just playing the game so I can plan ahead

[righteous-pines]

The last living relative of the great Pinestar. As his granddaughter, and as an extremely talented young warrior, in her own right, great things are expected of Alpineknoll. Only time will tell if she will fulfill this presumed destiny, but thanks to the careful rearing and training of her grandmother, Graypelt, she shows great promise towards her destiny.

Born into the righteous Pineclan during its own infancy, Cloverock has always felt like she just couldn’t stack up to the rest of the clan. More content to lean back and gather information than be the one to put it to use, Cloverock feels like she can never do enough to fulfill what is expected of her, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
