tumblr absolutely crunched these pictures qnq here's some close ups!
long time no post.. hey guys 😵💫 i've been stumped with the next page of the comic for so long even though it's not a difficult page at all!! i think i just hit a wall creatively; every sketch i made (and i made a LOT) just felt off and i had to put it down.
SOOO here's an adult lamb reference!! i don't need it right now, since he won't look like this for a while.. but it was fun & refreshing to make!
lamb's adult design used to just be how he looked as an apprentice but with slightly darker fur & the same scars.. BUT NOW HES COOL!!!!! and yes his fur does get darker with age!! (colorpoints❤️)
YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT HIM IF YOU WANT TO !

repost!! for two reasons:
1. i didn't like the original.
i sacrificed quality to meet my deadline and i regretted it. it's easy for me to slip into the mindset of "i'm not happy with the outcome, but i need to get a page out, so this will do". this ultimately just felt bad so i went back and fixed everything that was bothering me. and i'm so glad i did!!! i'm actually proud if it now.
2. covestar's appearance
i accidentally made covestar look like lambpaw. this caused confusion as well as a lot of theories and assumptions that i never intended for/predicted. i felt guilty, because it felt like i was leading people on with something that wasn't intentional to begin with. while i do enjoy hinting at things, i don't enjoy misleading anyone.
i'm always, ALWAYS excited to see theories, and i don't want this to dissuade anyone from posting theirs. i just didn't want it to seem like i was promising something that was never there in the first place. most of all, i didn't want to disappoint anyone. i don't know how to explain my thoughts behind it perfectly, but i hope this makes at least some sense!
thank you all so much for the continued support, always <3

a day of no witnesses and a promise.
yaay welcome back TWH ! here we are, continuing puffindive's story.
ALSO! the this is the first time cedarclan is mentioned in the comic! yay!
there's a lot of implications about the dynamic between coveclan and cedarclan here. the differences between the clans will become more apparent once we get to the first gathering scene. until then, i'll leave it up to interpretation 👀
a lot of information can be lost in 200 years! records are rewritten, writers can be biased, stories passed on verbally can change... it's a game of telephone! i'm sure that won't have any consequences!

Does Fossilfang use she/it? That's really cool, if so
Yes, it does!
There are two cats in Coveclan who use it/its pronouns, Fossilfang (it/she) and Cormorantcurl (he/it) !

I'm reworking the glove now to make it more practical, but here's a post highlighting the Salty-Paws!
fossilfang!
she's coveclan's salty-paws.
salty-paws are the clans' equivalent of a leatherworker- they skin prey before its consumed and tan the hides. they have lots of tools, but i only featured the glove here! they use the glove for the Big incisions.

I just found this and I'm LOVING it so much. Cat tools/semi-advanced warriors who ALSO live by the coast (some of my favorite territories for warriors)???? That's amazing!! I also LOVE your art style!
Are we going to get to see how the cats go about making any of their tools and whatnot? I'm super interested in how they do it. I currently am working on a Clan set in Alaska and I have a role like your spootpelts but I haven't decided on tools or anything yet. I'm trying to balance it being realistic and semi-fantasy and having a really hard time so I'm curious on how you go about it!
Thank you so much!! I love developing their tool systems, it's one of my favorite things to do within the story.
We'll get into specific roles more relatively soon. There will be some focus on the Salty-Paws (the tanners). When I finally introduce Fossilfang, she'll give some insight into how the specialized roles work. The roles will also be brought up when I get to the first gathering, in a few more chapters.
Here's my advice for developing specialized roles and tools:
-figure out physical limitations
establish what your cats are physically capable of. ask yourself... can they temporarily stand/walk on their hind legs? can they use their dew claw/fifth toe as a thumb? are they capable of grasping/holding items in their paws? how will they utilize these abilities to make tools? in what ways will their tools be adapted to their anatomy?
-establish rules
figure out what is off limits or inaccessible to your cats. do they use metal? leather? wood? stone? something else entirely? how do they go about collecting/harvesting/utilizing those materials?
-research research research!
now that you've established your cats physical limitations and the rules surrounding what they can and can not use, look into what natural materials are found in the area your clans live. learn about how it's harvested, how it grows (if applicable), and how it is utilized. apply this research to what you've already established about your clans, and integrate it accordingly.
also learn about the processes that you're incorporating into your story. look into different methods and the tools that are required for them. how would a cat go about doing that specific task?
in my opinion, this step is the most fun!!
this is a very methodical approach. you don't have to follow my steps exactly-- or at all-- but i hope that you, and anyone else who is looking for this advice, at least find it insightful and helpful!
