This took me literal days but I had so much fun! I haven’t actually read most of the books but I love making art about the series. See how Hollyleaf has mistletoe toe and holly and a sharp design while Ashfur is a little watery foreshadowing his death. I’m so proud of myself! (Timelapse below)
I remember Ashfur being overall terrible with Lionpaw, and even before the fire scene, they already had an awful relationship and ended up fighting each other even after Lionblaze was made a warrior.
Now in this au, Lionpaw is the reincarnation of Scourge, and as Scourge was bullied a big part of his childhood, Lionpaw might not take kindly to being pushed around because he unconsciously knows what it's like to be the butt of every joke. Lionpaw is very much an anti-bullying king.
I also would like to thank @boogurl405 for suggesting an idea where the "unconscious Scourge part" of Lionpaw is resentful of Ashfur because Ashfur was among the apprentices who killed Bone, and this sentiment would fuel Lionpaw's anger when training ! :) I think it's a great idea and it makes lot of sense ! The "conscious" part of Lionpaw would not directly know what angers him so much about Ashfur, and might just see Ashfur as an overall awful cat because he is a terrible mentor ? But the fighting session would, for sure, almost always end up with both mentor and apprentice going to the medicine cat den for a check up
Also have a shocked Brackenfur and Hollypaw in the background, because imagine training peacefully and suddenly Lionpaw and Ashfur just start beating each others for what seems to be no reason?? Also I love Brackenfur and I wish he was more important than just "The Patrol Guy" :( I might make him more important by being very supportive of Hollyleaf, I think they would both have a great relationship, some kind of a father-daughter bond ? Brackenfur is a bit of dad to everyone in Thunderclan
hey unsure if your still taking the colorful cat requests but uhh can i have a red ashfur or a yellow yellowfang? if you do ashfur his eyes could be blue and if you do yellowfang her fang could be maybe purple to contrast the yellow? dunno im kinda just rambling
I made ashfur have green eyes and look like a strawberry 🍓 by mistake my bad!! But hope u like these hehe, decided to do them as a duo sorta
yellowfang is saying ‘he’s my problematic fav, idk’
