alternatively, has being in silverpelt warped your perception of time? you feel like you're same as you've always been, but suddenly you're back in the world of the living and the entire world context has changed. youre a living piece of their ancient history. they speak a different language. you feel like no time has passed at all but suddenly you're unable to ever be just a living cat again because you've been dead 500 years. forget being yourself again, can you even be a person (cat) again?
sometimes i feel really stuck on how to characterise characters like Night and other starclan cats who have been dead for so long because i cant really comprehend how exactly that would change you. fading isnt a thing in this universe. youve been dead for centuries. tiny little things in life havent been relevant for that long because youve forgotten what being alive was.
while i dont characterise my starclan as god-like figures the oldest of them certainly aren't just little cats. WHAT ARE THEY??
MAY I INTRODUCE YOU TO HER
this is from memory the version of Night that existed first and i never drew her before her appearance and character changed again lol SO IM DOING THIS FOR MY 12-13(?? holy shit?)-YEAR-OLD SELF
funniest thing about this is I'm pretty sure she was power-hungry. lmfao.
warrior cats is a book series fundamentally dedicated to the moral “constant war and prejudice is ultimately good and better for everyone” and to me it is best to preserve that while changing the coating of the narrative to that of an ironic one, treating all the bullshit clan cats do and their stagnant society a circus of errors that ultimately gestures to the audience “you see? a society built on the idea that war and prejudice is good fucking sucks, war and prejudice is bad” however most people who do rewrites and aus seem convinced they can curtail the idea of warrior cats society being bad by like, deciding it is a moral imperative to draft disabled people into War That Is Good or to bring back a child that was unjustly killed for failing to integrate into the War Is Good society and having them go to Good War or whatever, which is very uninteresting
'which meanings' uh oh. sobbing
i think my life just hates me a lot because the one day i need to concentrate and get some work done i feel really sick and really really tired and i think i would like to leave this planet and go live on another one. like neptune. i think it would fix me
decapitates you but its clear that im not used to using a sword so it takes like 3 swings and i still havent fully got through your spine and theres blood everywhere and im honestly kinda getting frustrated now so i just kick your corpse a couple times and leave
DINOSAUR AU? idk im in a dinosaur mood
I employed a lot of artistic freedom with anatomy lol.. (and mistakes, night should have 3 toes not 4). especially for xuanhanosaurus it has like 2 images that were actually useful. But I wanted night to be that size + look like a bigger theropod (both of them are roughly the same height as a human I think it’s cute)
so i made a lot of fake/concept story covers in my early digital art days of 2020/2021 and i decided to redraw another two yippee.
