some updated/new references of my oc’s!

in order; Stormstar, Sandfeather, Mousestar, Fernblaze

Still need to get around to remaking other references, but I’m happy with how these look for now.

Notes;

Stormstar & Sandfeather are the main characters of my oc’s story, if I ever get around to writing it (or making an amv/pmv)

Mousestar is the villain of the story, and disowned Stormstar when she was a kit, while Fernblaze is Stormstars amazing dad

K, so, a male cat is a tom, a female is a molly, I have now as god of a warriors rewrite decided that a nonbinary cat who prefers neutral pronouns will be called a sam. The term tomcat seems to come from a children's book with a cat named Tom, while I can't find anything for where molly came from, but since both are nicknames/derivatives of biblical names, I picked a gender neutral biblical name derivation aka sam. Does that all makes sense? I want more than my 5 am opinion.

i actually really like this

The fact that this book was written by Tui T Sutherland, who has lots of lgbt+ characters in Wings of Fire, and James L Barry, the illustrator, retweeted this... 🤔 💖💜💙

Can I just take a minute to talk about TigerDove and why it’s fundamentally good? Because I have some feelings. I know the ship got a lot of hate during OotS and I think a lot of that came from the fact that it was fun to hate on Dovewing and because of all the drama that kinda surrounded it, but really it wasn’t any worse than any other forbidden romance.But honestly? I want to make the case that this was a forbidden romance done (in my opinion) properly.

Because when we really think about it, Dovewing really set a precedent for forbidden romances that has never really been done, per se? Sure, Oakheart suggested doing something similar in Bluestar’s prophecy, but since then, most forbidden romances have just pined aimlessly for each other, or straight up just decided that this relationship they were risking everything for wasn’t worth it in the end. But Dovewing ultimately deciding that she’d just straight up join ShadowClan? That was iconic.

Honestly what I think I respect the most is that she doesn’t agonize over it when she makes the decision to return to the Clans but keep her family together. I mean she wasn’t really receiving the best treatment in ThunderClan anyway, I mean we’re really gonna sit here and act like Ivypool wasn’t being icy and vindictive towards her just because Tigerheart had come into the picture? She was already under suspicion from her Clanmates for that relationship, and honestly, the treatment her children would have received in ThunderClan was super apparent by how frosty the Clan was towards the kits when she returned, and this was even before they knew she was there to say goodbye.

She has no ambitions for leadership to keep her in ThunderClan, and her strongest tie (Ivypool) has already been severed, and ShadowClan’s population is practically 10 cats max, while ThunderClan is sitting pretty at 50+; ShadowClan needs her and her kits more than ThunderClan does. So she leaves with Tigerheartstar. Totally fair, and it makes perfect sense. And on top of that? She DEVOTES herself to her new Clan and Clanmates, and becomes a respected cat in ShadowClan which puts her in a way better position than she was in prior, as ThunderClan liked to conveniently forget that she legitimately helped save all the Clans in the Great Battle just a few seasons before.

And can we talk about how sweet they are with each other? Look after seeing the disrespect that the Erins did to Bramblesquirrel in Bramblestar’s Storm and Squirrelflight’s Hope, it is so nice to see just a loving, functional relationship. Tigerheartstar takes her thoughts and feelings into consideration in most everything he does, and she advises him on clan matters arguably more that Cloverfoot, his deputy, does. She genuinely cares for and loves her new Clanmates and doesn’t feel conflicted or divided by her old allegiance in ThunderClan, like she legitimately is a ShadowClan cat now, and I LOVE that. I mean honestly? We could have had that with Graystripe, and we got a taste of it with Finleap, although he did significantly more complaining about it. But Dovewing straight up switching Clans and just truly settling in and supporting her new Clan? Iconic.

And don’t even get me started on how they parent. They are so active and involved, they with how much they care about their children and what loving, supportive parents they are. They would move StarClan and earth for their kits, and it shows. Their kits come to them for advice, they comfort their children when they are sick or hurt, they were distraught when Shadowsight went missing, and would not accept that he had died, and even when their faith wavered and it was suggested he was murdered, they still supported each other through a really traumatic time. What other set of parents had been shown to do that on screen?? Firestar and Sandstorm? Maybe? But really no one else. Contrast that with Ivypool and Fernsong who’ve really just left their kits to fend for themselves. Bristlefrost is hated by her Clan on the basis they think she’s doing the wrong thing? Not a peep from her parents. Not even from Ivypool. IVYPOOL, who was manipulated by Hawkfrost, who knows what it’s like to act as a spy, not even a peep, she couldn’t care less. It’s obviously a product of bad writing, but still. And then Flipclaw is decreed medicin cat against his wishes, and they kind of stand by. Even Lionblaze meant to protect Spotfur when she got in trouble, and yet, Ivypool and Fernsong do nothing. At all. But I digress.

You can say what you’d like about Tigerheartstar and Dovewing, but the fact remains is that they’re one of the few explicitly and consistently healthy relationships in the series, a prime example of how forbidden relationships can work, and they are darn good parents.

Here’s yet another Warrior oc generated by @butchleopardstar ‘s wc generator!

Demisegrin, who was likely named ‘Demise’ or ‘Demisekit’ either because her parents thought she wouldn’t survive, or they had some sort of twisted humor. Maybe they were rogues who thought she would be the demise of the clans.

She gained her warrior name from the marking on the back of her head; an evil looking grin. But despite the name, she has a heart of gold.

#my art #monosart #demisegrin #warrior cats #warrior cats oc #maybe the scars are from her siblings; who teased and bullied her for many moons #i really want to draw her being happy because she deserves happiness

The first of hopefully several characters based on prompts from @butchleopardstar​ ‘s warrior cats generator! 

I’ve got a few good ones saved, but first up; Eagle & Desert, two non binary Bloodclan twins!

Eagle is big of heart, dumb of ass. Very much so a thembo, and always almost    getting caught with their clan lover (but being saved by Desert. Every. Single. Time.)

Desert goes along with Eagle to the clan borders, not just because of a loyalty to them (and to make sure that the lovebirds aren’t caught this time), but also because of a strange pull to the clans, almost as if something were calling them.

3 designs for my Maplereed AU! Finally settled on a way for it to play out, so now I can do the fun stuff! Ended up changing a lot from how I originally wanted it to work out, but it should be better. (Like how all 3 kits were going to survive, but 1 works much better.)

Maple & Reed were easy, I just grabbed their most recent designs, updated a few bits, and bam.

Petalkit was the fun one, since I didn’t have a design for her, nor have I actually drawn her before. She technically isn’t a ‘light brown’ molly like she’s described to be, but screw canon she’s now has ginger & dark brown patches.

#my art #monosart #I'll hopefully make animation friendly versions for Maple & Reed later #next up I need to design Larch & Patch as well as starclan versions #as well as a few others #but hopefully I can actually pump some au stuff out and not lose interest like almost everything else! #also petal's chest fluff is sort of meant to look like a flower/flower petals #Mapleshade #Reedshine #Petalkit #Warrior Cats #Warriors #Warrior Designs #Warrior Cat Designs
