Thinking about making a Warrior Cats comic about my ocs. Unsure about that cuz Im focused on uni and fully original story, but when Im burnt out on original stuff I could work on that. Maybe, idk.
Anyways, here is Patchcloud, a healer focused more on the herbal and healing aspect rather than spiritual. She has a rather weak connection with StarClan, never recieving any kind of omens, even minor ones. She relies on her instinct and knowleadge instead, though she does not doubt StarClan's existance. She simply tries not to think about them much, even when adhearing to traditions and rituals.
She is reserved and prefers to focus on work, even during free time. While appearing grumpy, she is not, she is a realist and doesn't like lying directly, though withholding truth isn't beyond her, especially when someone doesn't listen. She is generally calm and even during stressful situations is capable of holding herself. Born to ShadowClan-allied stray and a kittypet, she tended to remain on the outskirts of the Clan, until her apprenticeship to current healer at the time, who turned out to also have a weak connection to StarClan (him being born a raised a stray until joining) and he was the only comfort she had in when it came to anxiety about her not being good enough for her job. At least until he died. His name was Voideyes.
Something important to note when it comes to the story and worldbuilding is that its changed from the original... A lot in some places. Some of it is based on my old ideas of the WC world (back when I didnt understand English properly and relied on AMVs and very few translations).
So... ShadowClan kinda takes space of BloodClan? As in they live in the city, at least until the beginning of the story (Raven's Flight), and they have a lot of semi-members and friendly strays who stay behind in the city, until a second wave of moving several years later. In general they are very friendly with strays. loners and kittypets, and had less aversion to eating kittypet food, until Jawstar's rule (2 leaders before the current one post-prologue)

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.
Gonna retcon some ages. I made cats too old for what I had in mind, because I applied (probably misunderstood) house cat ageing to them.
While not fully wrong, I still think I overshoot it. Hopefully I won't undershoot as well.
Was busy with Uni, but now I can go back to working on pages, so here is another preview (from the same page). I also need to redo lineart for some panels in page 2, because they just look bad.
Author's Note Here is lore for my new clangen playtrough. Im sorry for not continuing Spottedstar's Reign as I should, I just lack motivation for it. Lore is based on a real lake. Points to those who guess which lmao. The only hit I will give is that it's in Poland. Regardless, this thing absorbed me and Im having fun writing stories based on these little pixel guys. Note though, ShoreClan is not currently being played. Three clans is already a lot, and I still need to decide how I tackle the missing clan.
Once, the lake was a river. But just like the seasons change, so the unknowable whims of twolegs.
There were sings years before The Flood began. It started with those most sensitive to the ancestors and omens beggining to feel constanly uneasy. With seasons it progressed into unclear visions and then dreams. Dreams of water, drowning, serpents devouring each other. Alongside that, new twolegs began showing up with increasing frequency, seemingly frustrating the ones that already lived by the rivers. And they began constructing something. A wall so tall it nearly rivaled the hills around.
Reading the clear warnings and guided by their ancestors, the leaders of four Clans decided to leave, before the disaster could strike. And just as they did, the water level began rising.
It was not an easy time. Some cats died, exploring a mostly unknown terrain and trying to figure out how far they should go. Conflict between long time rivals, FalconClan and MossClan did not help. Their hatered run so deep no one could unearth the roots of it. LindenClan tried to keep the peace. After a failed attempt at resolving the conflict that resulted in another bloody battle in which several lives were lost, ShoreClan's leader finally had enough. He gathered his cats and left the Clans, proclaiming that ShoreClan will not share their doomed fate. Since that day, no one saw ShoreClan ever again.
A vision came. A dying hawk in the snow. When it breathed it's last breath, a spring came. Linden's sapling grew. Falcons soared above. Moss quietly grew in the warm shadow of a forest. And just as was foretold, when Hawkstar of FalconClan lost his last life, spring has arrived. And so, the age of Serpent River was no more, and the age of Serpent Lake began.
MossClan Rivals to FalconClan. The feud is generations long and keeps getting reignited ever so often. The roots of it have been forgotten. MossClan claim to be the oldest group, with great sages of the past long traveling to the river in a great migration. They believe in magic, the power of futuresight in their ancestors and omens. They can be quite superstitious, but arent beyond reason. Instead of mourning, they celebrate deaths, believeing that those who die, become something greater after death. Some only respect those who died in their elder years, but the belief overall is that even someone dying young can gain knowleadge and guide cats to avoid early death. So the living cats pray to kits who died young for safety of their newborns, apprentices pray to other apprentices to avoid trouble etc. Generally, living to old age is both a privilage and the highest achievement for the cat.
FalconClan Rivals to MossClan, they have a long history of wars and hostility, despite being considered the youngest group. Falcons are war-like, great fishers and swimmers. They only accept strong loner and rogues, who can hunt. They don't believe in prophecies, but still respect the dead, leaving them gifts at the graves and singing songs of great battles. Falcons also believe their ancestors can warn them, but its strictly in present time. They see Mosses as crazy religious lunatics who constantly excuse their atrocities with either prophecy or ancestors will.
LindenClan The largest clan, territory and numbers wise far exceeding the others. They are historians who focuse on bloodlines and accurate retellings. They have a special rank that focuses on that, though all cats are encourage to contribute and help the lore masters. They are also lead by a dynastic rule. Eldest child inherits leader's position and the leader typically becomes mentor of their heir. They can be seen as quite nosy and treat borders more loosely. Some used it to cause harm, so LindenClan put stricter rules on permission to cross borders.
ShoreClan Mysterious fourth clan, who left the alliance, believing the others would lead to their ventual doom. Back when they still lived close, they were known to be a clan of loners and house cats, living closest to twolegs. Their rank structure resembled more a colony than a clan, the leaders often being either the oldest female or male with the most mates and kits. Despite that, they were not a dynastic rule. Those popular or dominant within the clan often being chosen for deputy more by the clan cats than the leader. In general, the concept of deputy was far more undefined and fluid. Only in recent times they began attempting to more regulate the voting system and ranks. This was not easy, trail and error lead to internal conflicts and civil war, which traumatized many within ShoreClan. LindenClan historians believe this trauma resulted in ShoreClan's negative attidtude towards other Clans that lead to their departure.
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...
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.
I probably won't reblog any other post again (this account being dedicated to the comic I barely update lmao) but this thing just struck me. It just perfectly represents most of my gripes with stories I read or watched in past years.
I feel like so many problems people have with tv at the moment could be solved if we just went back to the good ole days of 20 episodes a season that’s just sixty percent filler and character development. Give the people what they want- less condensed story and more meaningless shenanigans

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)
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.
A new ref for old Warriors OC, Ravenheart. Stara jak ja postać z Wojaków. Skubaniec doczekał się remake'u. Jak bede miała czas to zrobię nowe refy do innych starych postaci. Teoretycznie jeszcze jeden jest skończony, ale jest do dość mało ważnej postaci. Krucze Serce miał bardzo podobne backstory do Ognistej Gwiazdy, jednak zmieniłam ją dość mocno z czasem. Dalej jest on byłym domowym kotem, jednak jego dołączenie do Klanu Cienia wynika z tego, że chciał odprowadzić zaginionego kociaka z powrotem do rodziny. Potem już nie mógł znaleźć drogi do domu a kultura wojowników mu zaimponowała. Dołączył już też jako dorosły kot. Tam poznał Cętkowaną Gwiazdę, nową przywódczynię, która miała za zadanie osiedlić Klan Cienia z powrotem w lesie (kompletnie niekanoniczne, wynik mojego re-write'u całego świata wojaków na podstawie moich interpretacji z dzieciństwa kiedy nie znałam angielskiego), z którą z czasem został partnerami po pomocy jej w konfliktach z Klanem Pioruna. Mieli oni razem jeden miot kociaków, wszystkich synów, z których jeden umarł niedługo po porodzie, a jeden (Szybka Rzeka) został odtrącony przez matkę, gdyż był słaby. Nim zajmował się głównie ojciec. Kiedy Krwawe Futro i Lamparci Pazur byli już wystarczająco dorośli i doświadczeni, Krucze Serce odstąpił swojej pozycji zastępcy aby dać im szansę. Nie uważał się zresztą za dobrego przywódcę. Kurcze Serce przeżył swoją partnerkę, mimo iż miała ona 9 żyć do dyspozycji (głównie przez jej konfliktowość i wojny z Klanem Pioruna i Wiatru).
Will probs dedicate this blog to my Clangen and OC Warriors
