Got some new followers, wanted to ya’ll know about the new blog for this story

Welcome to Shattered Paths, formerly known as Trail of Flames.

While most stuff is from my brain of chaos and madness, this project also draws inspiration from (@troutfur, @bonefall, @cats-of-eden-valley, @ailurocide) as well as Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Lion King, and Warriors.

While this was heavily influenced by Warriors, I aim to provide a better narrative and handling of themes and characters.

Entry to the Path

Call me Jasper, I’m an enby trans man who uses he/they/it/xe.

This has been a passion project of mine for years and I hope you all enjoy the craft.

Right so the naming conventions

The original plan had been a base on the roman naming system but with my own twist, a base name, mother’s name, and last notable ansector

Ex: Jay Nutcracker Daisy

However, I realize that this method might be a bit much so I thought of something else somewhat based on Rainworld names

Guild folks get a base name after its clear their not gonna die, then after being promoted

They earn a name that typically has something to do with skill but it can be with other atreivules

So we have names like Sharp Eyed Jay and Swan Diving Jackdaw

It isn't perfect but I'd love to hear ya’lls thoughts on this

New year, new blog

I know I haven't been posting much due to irl stress and the creative juices aren't exactly flowing plus with all the outdated stuff.

Going thru some overhauls and me accepting a fresh slate to work with.

Gonna make a whole new blog but gonna try to make things cleaner before I post it

Can you do a tutorial on paws and faces? Those two things specifically I really life with you art style, and I'm struggling to understand how to draw both things myself so it would be nice to see :)

Hello!! Sorry for the lack of posts for ages, been meaning to get back into designing. In the meantime here's a small tutorial for paws! I hope it isn't too complex or confusing, I've never made one of these before 👀💦 Anyone is welcome to trace these drawings if it'll help them better their own technique HOWEVER you must give credit if you plan on posting or sharing it anywhere! Thanks :D (As for cat faces I'll try my best to make a tutorial for those too! Please lmk if any of yall have any tips/constructive critique on how I can make these tutorials easier to follow, less complex etc. :])

Charlie is the term used for denizens who don’t align as a tom or molly. There are also charlie-tom and charlie-molly for denizens who lean other ways.

#1 Fun fact - The Splinterclaws:

The Splinterclaws love having physical traits for their suffixs which makes them seem quiet dull in style compared to the other guilds

The Splinterclaws could care less tho (well some of them)
