[Tigerclones were my own idea cuz I’ve been wanting to do that for a while…. Tigerstar I, Brambleclaw, Hawkfrost, Tigerstar II, Lightleap, and the Imposter]
going insane for the chinese redraw of the Tigerstar and Sasha comic, @yiluowing on twitter my beloved, check out these comparisons I put together of the previews
not 100% sure of the first one but I am of the rest, all very redrawn and beautifully!! I wish they could be shipped worldwide!!
re re updating my Tigerclaw-star design because I want to do a project with Tawnypelt and felt like the colors on the most recent version needed a touch up. I also went through the trouble to do a turnaround, because I wanted to make sure I was giving his 'tiger nose' the right amount of depth without flattening his face. The only other major change is I took his tail fluff level down dramatically, which I actually like a lot better. It really solidifies the tiger silhouette I was going for. Plus this time I gave him a charismatic smile, which I feel like is much more in character of the early respect that his clanmates give him.

Whoa! A war criminal!
Some design notes!
Oceloid spots occur in wild x domestic cat hybrids… Tigerstar absolutely has some “big cat” ancestry (probably through Pinestar), though nothing as big as his namesake haha.
Not very fluffy. He’s all muscle and thick, meticulously-groomed fur. He’s consistently described as “handsome”, after all!
His front claws are always unsheathed.
Lots of “v” shapes throughout his design, alongside spots and sharp edges.
Scarring includes: “Star-shaped” scar across his right eye and nose bridge (I like to think that this scar came from Redtail in his last moments, trying to rip out Tigerclaw’s eye in a move that would have at least told others who his attacker was… unfortunately the move failed). Left ear split with a deep “v”, and right ear is nicked twice.
