Hey everyone! So, here is an update on the comic: In the first part of chapter 2, less than 10 pages remain for sketching (previous one was for thumbnailing and rough sketching)! These last remaining pages are the more difficult ones as they probably contain an angle or detailed background I still have to figure out.
but I also came here to mention that this chapter will no longer have two parts; it will only have one part, which is the one I'm currently working on. That means the second part of chapter 2 will become chapter 3. I realized that it was probably for the best of me, especially for the story since Part 2, which is now Chapter 3, is a little more longer than Chapter 2. whats great abt this is that I have the script done! and I can just head straight to thumbnail sketches once chapter 2 is complete!
thats all I have to say for now! once I'm done sketching I will upload them on my Kofi for anyone who is a Star Tip member!
IN MY.. 'CANON' for WC content I make, living leaders can only speak to their Starclan Guide. Living leaders are led by their previous clan leader, and medicine cats convene with either a previous medicine cat, or a dead cat they had an intense bond with, BUT they can also sometimes catch random cats' spirits if that cat really wants to speak to them, OR if they're granted the chance by the clan leader's Starclan guide.
Afterlife politics? you betcha
Still, leaders can only speak to Starclan for the time that they're dead, between lives..

It'll become clear soon, but not all of Defiance is here - there are around 100 members in the group in total, and only about twenty here today. But it seems like a lot to the cats.
Also, Prowl did kill Mallowstar by snapping his neck, but I understand it may not be obvious in the art because I didn't want to look at pictures of broken necks for reference. Regardless he died near instantly.
(ID: Kirby series fanart of Meta Knight and Galacta Knight based off of a couple dynamics template by @/ReddsMess on Twitter. Original template and source below the cut, as well as a HAL language variant. Top-left panel - high-angle shot of MK lit from above, standing firm and glaring up through his mask, his wings curled out and breaching the panel in places, subtitled "Well well..." Top-right panel - low-angle shot of GK lit from below, looming in the air and leering down through his mask, his wings curled out and his hands spread wide in challenge, both of which breach the panel in places, subtitled "Look who came to see me..." Bottom panel - MK & GK stand next to each other, the latter leaning towards the former and gently caressing the side of his mask with the back of one hand, grinning smugly and wrapping a wing around the knight, subtitled "My Knightmare." MK stands stiffly with his fists clenched at his sides, blushing vividly and glaring away from the warrior. A little flurry of white hearts emanate from GK, while one small one hovers above MK. END ID.)

Here we are! The start of something great and terrible! Defiance has arrived, and we have no choice but to wait and see if anyone makes it out alive.
I never quite got to work Hush Puppy's fate as much into the comic as I wanted, so I'll go into it a little more here. She did starve to death, like Egrettail says. As Thrasher put more time into "training" his growing kits and less into hunting, Hush Puppy got less food and gave up a lot of her own for the kittens. A combination of that and pure stress just sapped everything from her.
Also, I feel this may need to be said; yes, the dream canine with blue eyes is Rainhaze, not Prowl, but Pinepaw doesn't know that. It is dramatic irony.
that's a wrap on chapter 4! thanks for playing, i will be taking a three week break. in the meantime, sit back and enjoy upcoming guest art. and hey, maybe send me a commission or two to keep me busy?
