Gnarlstar (Ref Subject To Remake)
Gnarlstar (Ref subject to remake)
NAMES: Gnarlkit, Gnarlpaw, Gnarlpelt, Gnarlstar GENDER: Cis Female GROUP: MossClan ROLE: Leader BIRTH MOON: - 101 BAFE (8.5 years BAFE) DEATH MOON: N/A PERSONALITY: Gnarlstar is a gloomy and clever teacher. She can be quite strict and brush off feelings as something that can be ignored in face of greater good. She is quite pessimistic when it comes to cats, but trusts her clanmates enough. Gnarlstar is not kind to those disabled by life, as once her deputy lost a leg she began to look for replacement, believing him to be incapable of being leader. But at the same time, as she aged, she grew distrustful and spiteful, feeling jelous of her once-candidate for new deputy. As an elderly leader, she sits mostly in her den, giving orders and watching her clanmates. She wasn't very loving mother, but was attentive and raised her daughter to be a clever and useful warrior. There was no need for love. They are all only leaves and branches in this large tree of life, and individual will is meaningless in the large scheme of things. Still, it is no excuse to slack off.
HISTORY: Gnarlkit, along with her littermate Dogkit were born in MossClan. While Dogkit was exiteable, Gnarlstar was more withdrawn and rational. They both were excellent and talented apprentices who never got in trouble.
Gnarlpelt was an excellent teacher, she kept discipline tight and taught her apprentices the skills they needed to survive as well as often quizzing them to make sure their minds stayed sharp. She was strict, but mostly fair.
As leader, she was strict and closed off to other clans, even LindenClan who often offered aid. She wanted her clan to be independent and didn't trust Lindens generosity, believing there is a hidden motive behind their good mask. Her attitude lead to increased conflicts with MossClan's longtime rival, FalconClan.
One of those wars took place after the clans setteled in new territories. Gnarlstar grew paranoid by careless actions taken by warriors of FalconClan. She decided to attack first, constantly bickered with Miststar and even spat in the young leader's face. Gnarlstar only ceased her open antagonism once a former house cat turned warrior Gravelgrain died in a battle, crushed by tree. It was a clear sing StarClan was displeased.
Right after, a young warrior named Ridgecrest, whom Gnarlstar trusted more than other cats had kits with FalconClan's healer, Paleswan. Instead of keeping the kits, she gave them to their father, which enraged Gnarlstar. She felt betrayed by a warrior who had so much potential. She exiled the molly.
After the war ended, Gnarlstar ordered her cats to look for a certain molly, who left her kit several moons ago in MossClan, because she couldn't take care of it. The cat named Rose was found and invited to the clan. There, she was renamed Rosestripe. Gnarlstar grew to like and respect the molly at first, but grew jelous of the popularity Rosestripe had. She was not only pretty, but also loyal and unafraid. On impulse, Gnarlstar tried to make her relationship worse with other cats, but this failed. Not only she was liked, but also several cats, including Gnarlstar's own grandson had romatic feelings for the ginger molly.
Gnarlstar withdrew into her den, unsure what to do. The only cat she found comfort was Newtburn, in her mind the only cat who stayed loyal to her…. Whom she grew to love romantically. Another cat she grew to trust was Storkmeadow, an orphan found with her siblings by their dead mother and adopted by the Clan. This young molly took her duties seriously and always helped other cats out, impressing Gnarlstar. She only hopes that Storkmeadow will be able to train up a good warrior before Gnarlstar herself looses her last life. Thankfully, a warrior named Bullfinchwing had kits around the time, which gives the leader perfect oppurtunity to test the molly. When Sunstar, new leader of LindenClan, accidentally tresspassed onto MossClan territory, Gnarlstar threw a fit and refused to back down from antagonizing LindenClan because of this. It did not matter that LindenClan has been recently shaken by a boar attack that killed two warriors and two kits, and it did not matter that LindenClan was not in any way antagonistic in past years. As if sent by StarClan, Gnarlstar got a heatstroke around the time, which allowed Spiderweb, MossClan's healer, to handle the situation. Thankfully, LindenClan understood and held no major grudge.

Page 1 is done! I hate buildings lol. Next time Im using blender or minecraft. Idk why but nature comes more easily. Maybe because its more chaotic.
Anybody has their brain so rotted by Warrior Cats that every time they see a full moon they are like "Ah yes, tonight is The Gathering."
Because I sure do...
I decided ''fuck it, we ball'' and started making Warriors comic.
Have a preview. I hate buildings lol, thankfully they will have limited apperances.
Very loose style, cuz I just find it fun when doing it on krita.
A promised ref for some of the background cats in the last page. This one has slightly different style due to how quickly it was made, but the rest should be more consistent. ---- Current Name: Tallcloud Clan: ShadowClan Rank: Warrior - Fighter, Trainer, Guard
Status: Alive Age: Around 4 Years Gender: Agender (Any Pronouns) Parents: Mossystone (sire), Unknown Mother Siblings: Miststripe Mate: Viperleap Kits: None Yet
Info: Tallcloud is a quiet and serious cat, which can be found either resting or training. She is considered the most taleneted fighter and despite her relatively young age she is quickly picking up a knack for teaching others.
He deosnt seem to be interested in the leading position, prefering to be in charge of smaller group of cats than the entire Clan. Despite their quiet nature, they appreciate humor, which is why they picked Viperleap as their mate. Tallcloud enjoys the shenienigans the tom gets into and is essentially his protector. But when it comes to nonsense or drama, she prefers to just walk away, ignoring it entirely until she deems it too disruptive for regular clan life. In these cases she tends to pin cats down until they calm down, few cats being capable of escaping her firm grip.
This nurturing nature was pointed out to them by their family, which made Tallcloud wonder… Maybe he could have kits soon? In apperance, Tallcloud is rather muscular, on top of having rounder features. She is of average size.

Page 2! I hope to get out page 3 sooner than this one. This page would have actually be done ealier, but I couldn't decide on color scheme for the next scene for a while.
If anyone is wondering, this takes place around late 1800s to early 1900s in Poland. I haven't decided on exact date and it's not overly important, but it does play a role in why ShadowClan wants to move from the city.
After the death of ShadowClan's previous leader, Roaringstar, who left the Clan without a deputy, a vision is given to the healer. Influenced by it, she picks a warrior named Spottedfur. Now Spottedstar, the molly is tasked with leading ShadowClan from thetwolegplace to the forest and establish it as a faction worth considering and not just a band of rogues. But the road twoards this vision is long and dificcult. Spottedstar will not only need to battle other Clans, but her own flaws and conflicts within her own group. Prologue (Page 1)
A cover for the mentioned comic!
So, uh, fun fact. I kind of changed the main character last minute. Previously it was meant to be Ravenheart, but he was pretty meh in character development range.
Spottedstar though... She has a lot of things going on. A lot of things to go trough. In general, she works much better as the main character in this case.
Page 1 will be uploaded soon!

Quick re-upload, cuz I noticed error with shadows (and took the oppurtunity to just re-do them). Anyways, here we are introduced to a current (for now) leader of ShadowClan, Roaringstar. Stinky stinky old man.
<< Previous | Cover | Next >> (TBA)
Im good at uploading reguraly lmao Life got in a way, internship and other stuff Will try out different shading maybe next page, I dont quite like how it turned out here. Imma see if cell shading looks better. First page we meet Roaringstar's son, Dawnlight, along with said son's mate, Morningbird.
<< Previous | Cover | Next >> (TBA)
Sorry it took so long to finish this. I was honestly surprised how I managed to do the rest of the page in one day.
In the background we can see bunch of other ShadowClan cats, specifically two young warriors named Tallcloud and Viperleap (white cat and orange cat that were sleeping) and two mature/ageing warriors, Tigerbelly (the one on top of the wall) and Morningbird (the ginger one guarding). I will upload one of these guys refs during the time between this page and the next one. Likely Viperleap and Tallcloud will be first. I also should probs do some kind of alleginces in form of headshots, but the problem with ShadowClan is that they currently have very loose membership requirements, so many cats don't even live in the camp. Maybe I'll just do the ones that will follow Spottedstar to the forest, dunno.
Paint doodle of one of my Clangen cats, Birchbark from CressClan of Bieszczady Mountains. Made as a break from working on Uni stuff. Birchbark is a cold asshat, a tom with a weak leg born in a Clan that does not tolerate weakness. Instead of bonding with other disabled cats, he actively mocks them, trying to hide his insecurities behind a calculating and bloodthirsty persona.
Despite his leg, he is quite an incredible runner and has a keen eye for details, which leads to him being a sort-of investigator when scent is not an option.
CressClan's leader is currently very old and on her last life, and her deputy, Burningwillow, has a lot of trust in Birchbark. But it's still up in the air if she will allow him to become deputy, as her personality and opinions don't go far from Splitstar's. Birchbark also managed to find love and have several kits. His mate is loyal, fish-like swimmer Leopardfeather with helpful insight. Together, they had two litters of kits, the older one consisting of one son and three daughters, Squalllake (dead), Streamwhisker, Sunsmoke and Peakcloud, and the younger one only having a single female kitten named Spikekit, after a mediator who recently died, Spikebeak.
