Quail-dawn - Quail's Cool Collection

tutorial for drawing characters with cleft lip! sorry that it's mostly unilateral-centric but it makes up the vast majority of resources and photos. still tried to get tips for drawing bilateral clefts in though.

please keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People : )

if you draw any characters using this feel free to tag me!!

Loudclan - Moon 29: Part 2

Back in camp, the warm weather gives the healers a chance to relax, and puts Wildfirecry in a particularly good mood, reminding him of his former home in Forestclan, far to the south.

Wildfirecry takes Songpaw out to look for Fiercestripe's patrol. Along the way they discuss what's really been on Songpaw's mind.

The scent of blood sits heavy in the still air. With Songpaw sent back to camp for help, Wildfirecry steels his nerves and rushes ahead, prepared to join the battle against whomever had made the mistake of tresspassing onto Loudclan's territory. As he neared the Loudclan border, though, it became clear that the battle was long finished.

Fiercestripe, Chumtail, Dogwoodmoth, and Dashpaw were killed in the rogue attack, taking 4 of their attackers with them. Rosehiptree managed to survive by staying hidden in the bushes, but she is by no means unscathed. Loudclan is devastated by this event, and will need time to mourn, but on the other side of the valley, three trespassers thank the stars for whatever might have delayed their pursuers.

[...so ... how are we feeling about this one, folks? bad? yeah, I feel bad. full disclosure, if Eklutna dying was the moon that I decided I wanted to keep playing Loudclan, this was the moon that almost made me quit. I was and continue to be DEVASTATED by losing these guys, Fierce, Dogwood, and Chum were some of my all time favorites as I played and I fell in love all over again writing their stories here. (Sorry Dash, you just weren't around long enough for me to get attached.) In game technically Fiercestripe died of heatstroke, but since it was the same moon as the rogue attack this felt like a much more fitting way for her to go. Anyway, I think one more part should wrap up this moon, and my deepest apologies to you all.]

starting off with something silly! Sadly, Brightstar is not very fond of sillyness. In his opinion, Ravenspeckle really is too old for such a mistake.

First Moon

Been a minute since I requested! Your way of getting in depth with characters and giving each one a unique quirk is rubbing off on me,,, It’s so cool!

Welcome back! It's been slow around here, so ask away!! 98 - Rare! Frost elemental time~ I'm so glad I have an excuse to make more cats for fantasy projects I've already finished. I love the Elementsigns, they're so fun to design. I wonder if this little guy had Growthsign somewhere in his bloodline (;

Lichencloud (he/him) is a pale blue Frostsign tom with violet eyes. His body is shaped from ice, pale and translucent, though most of his form is covered in darker blue “fur”: sharp, opaque fractals of frost that cover his icy skin. A ridge of pale icicles make spikes down the back of his neck, present in the cold months, but that melt away in the spring. His pelt is dappled with patches of lichens: grey and blotchy most of the year, but vibrantly green, yellow and even pale orange during the warm months. His claws and fangs are clear as glass and extremely sharp. His tall ears are inflexible and always stand up. His violet eyes are very reflective.

Lichencloud has a burn scar--a black, melted notch--taken from his tail, a wound from a run-in with a Firesign rogue. Without the distinctive injury, many of his Clanmates might not have believed he’d seen a Firesign at all. Indeed, after the fight, Lichencloud has grown an insatiable wanderlust, itching to expand his worldview beyond the small corner he’s always lived in. To the cats of his Clan, any Sign outside of Frostsign, Airsign and the rare Watersign are only known in stories and myths. The Firesign encounter sparked Lichencloud’s curiosity. If he leaves soon, perhaps he can pick up the Firesign’s trail…

A calm cat, very little gets Lichencloud fired up. He’s drifted through life and is generally competent, finding his warrior duties easy and rather unfulfilling, but he doesn’t feel the need to unnecessarily complicate his tasks just for the sake of finding something to challenge him either. He has a monotone voice, something that had irked him for a lot of his youth as his emotions were often misunderstood or undervalued because he couldn’t express them in his tone. He’s learned to communicate his feelings clearly and openly and so is rather blunt, speaking his mind rather than dancing around difficult topics so others don’t have a chance to misconstrue his tone--or lack thereof. Lichencloud likes stories and has a good memory for recalling lore. He often comes up with elaborate stories in his head to keep his mind occupied while he works.

Warrior cats “brown tabby amber eyes” design trend…
