Old Faces, New Dawn

A fresh beginning from a darkened past

I am so happy with how this came out. This is for @spottyistired and their rewrite i am just so intrigued by, featuring Rust (Firepaw), Ravenpaw, Bearpaw, Sandpaw, Gracklepaw, Spottedleaf, Dreamtongue, Shiningstrike, Scourge and lastly Wolfstorm. The designs and lighting was super fun to do and I hope you like it Spotty!

(ID- the whole poster has a dawn lighting and background with the main five lit in a yellow, pink, and orange light. The antagonists are lit in a mix of purples, blues, golden, and pink. Bushes are behind the protagonists with a oak tree on the left and pine trees on the right.

Firepaw/Rust is standing in the center with a split pelt, the left a dark brown and the right a orange tabby. His right ear is torn, and he has one amber and one green eye. His front paw is forwards with his tail puffing up behind him, a unsure expression on his face. To his left is Ravenpaw who is a lanky black and white cat with a pretty purple eye and fang similarly to a snakes, his ears are tall like a bats. They are looking at Rust with a curious, and knowing expression as if they can see something the chimera cat cannot. To the right is Bearpaw who is crouched down and looking at Rust, his fluffy tail sweeping over Rust’s left leg and a smile on his face. He is a brownish gray color with a darker heart marking on his cheek and sweet golden eyes. Sandpaw is on the other side of Ravenpaw and is crouched down as if she’s about to pounce. She has a mischievous look in her green eye and her tail, which is grey at the end, is swooped to the left. On the other side of Bearpaw is Gracklepaw who is rather standoffish with a spiteful/angry expression looked towards Ravenpaw, he is brown and white with a underbite.

Above Rust is Wolfstorm who is looking straight forward with blank orange eyes and a unknown expression on is face, his mane fluffed out. He is a gray and white with a moon in his chest and markings across his face. To his left is Shiningstrike who is looking upwards with blank golden eyes, she is orange, brown, and cream with a tear like marking down to her chin. On the right id Scourge who is looking downwards. A blank blue eye and black tufty hair almost covers his face and his muzzle and chest is bare of fur. Two necklaces hang over his chest, the top with three claws and the bottom with a talon and a bird skull. Above Grackle is Dreamtongue who is facing the left with a downturned face and a green X as his pupil. He is a red tabby with white fur falling down from hid ears, and a tusk decorating his face. A green breathe comes from his mouth and is reaching out, as if to grab onto those he wishes to persuade. Across from him is Spottedleaf who is looking up with a golden star pupil and golden mist wrapping around her face. She is a brown, red, and white cat with purple and pink petals decorating her fur, a entranced expression on her blank face. Written across the poster is “OLD FACES NEW DAWN” with a lighter corresponding color behind the black bold text. End ID)

I love your version of Dustpelt as Gracklepaw and am even more happy that him and Fern are not together. It’s a ship that so many people overlook but it’s so bad. He starts pining for her when she’s an apprentice, ignores Ashpaw to ‘protect’ Fernpaw, and is only nice to her which is supposed to be a cute thing but is NOT.

So I’m truly happy that your not doing DustFern, and aro Fern? Amazing. New headcannon and am adding into au. Love aro Ferncloud

I will be drawing so much aro Ferncloud as soon as pride month hits and I get the excuse to do so, you guys aren’t ready for how much Ferncloud will be here-

That’s exactly why I hate the ship so much. The writers present it as this cute thing when it’s really,, incredibly dark when you think about it more than five seconds. While there will be some themes of this throughout OFND, they will be handled extremely delicately and intentionally, and I will always be open to criticism about them. But not with Grackle and Fern.

G: “Hey, aren’t you Firepaw?”

F: “You a cop?”

G: “.. No.”

F: “Then yes, I am.”

Another little incorrect quotes thing, this time with Grackle✨
