Yet Another Gal To Fill Out The Furry Universe Matonne Inhabits. Hopefully I Can Get These Out Quicker

[Image Description: A drawing of a thin, long haired cat walking with his tail upright looking at the viewer. Above the full body image is a closeup picture of his face in front view and the word “Firestar” written in an orange cursive-like font. The cat has reddish orange striped feet, tail, ears, and face that fade to gold as they approach the main pale cream body. His eyes are teal green. The background is a solid pale green. End Of Image Description]

After years of not uploading, I have finally returned. So to get back into the swing of things, I’m going to draw as many Warrior cats as I can from the original series. Let’s see how things go.

When designing Firestar I wanted to really emphasize his connection with fire and take advantage of him being born a housecat. So I made him a flame point Balinese (or rather Javanese; most standards don’t consider red a valid color for that breed). I had to cheat quite a bit as even red sepia cats look pretty pale, and then there’s the matter of Firestar having green eyes while colorpoints can only have blue eyes. But regardless, I’m pretty proud of this pic.

Took me a while to fully figure out Graystripe’s design. Originally, I was going to give the rex coat to Firestar’s family, but then in terms of personality, I feel curly fur better fits the comedian of the OG apprentices.

One of the things I love about TMBD is how certain things are described with far less detail than you would expect, including the appearance of several major characters, leaving a lot of wiggle room for interpretation.

I did, to varying degrees, pull from the Subterranean cover for Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory (Book 4.5) for the characters that appear in the illustration, but the information in the text was the only strict limit I put on myself.

Well that, and the colors assigned to each character. There’s no way I wasn’t going to give each of them a specific hue.

Finally set up my adoptable shop on DeviantArt. The above characters are all still on sale as of March 5, 2018 (and likely will stay that way for a while considering the adoptables market). My DA account can be viewed by clicking here.

Just playing around with brushes and color.

Above the full body drawing is a close-up of the cat’s face, head on and the name “Yellowfang” written in a gray, angular font. The background is a dull yellow. End of Description.]

Gold is a shade of orange, right? Right?

[Image Description: A fat, dark-skinned person wearing glasses, dressed in a loose pink shirt and pants, and with their dark curly hair tied back in a bun is standing on a balcony, their back to the viewer. They are calmly viewing the row of forested hills in front of them and the sky that is bright and partly cloud. End of image description.] Wanted to practice drawing backgrounds, so I tried my hand at doing some hills and a daytime sky. The character was originally going to Matonne, but decided to draw Alex again instead.

Decided to make some changes to my fursona and make some more extensive references for her. Wanted to give her facial hair and make her ears smaller to better show off her earrings and allow her to emote with them. I also removed the extra colors from her hair cause they were a bit difficult to work with at different angles.

I’ll let y’all decide what all the As stand for.

Just an experiment with brushes.
