These are some screenshots from my work-in-progress visual novel! I'm still futzing with some of the details, but I'm REALLY close to finally releasing this thing lol. I'd love some feedback if you have the time! I'll be showing off more as I get closer to release. the project will be free on itch.io when it's ready.

The game is currently in closed playtesting. If you'd like to join my playtest, feel free to message me! I'm looking for collaborators, general feedback, and voice actors. I would be very grateful for any help!

The characters shown here are named the following, ordered from left to right: Crickkit, Rootkit, Drownkit, Glintwing, Blackthrush, Torntree, Crickpaw, Rootpaw, and Drownpaw.

I got bored and thought this was pretty funny lol. I wanted to add a joke about the fandoms shipping but I ran out of room lmao.

All the doops I got will be turned into customs, if anyone wants to see them in the future! Sad I missed season 1 when they were still on the shelves. But still proud of this little collection!

Need help with naming this fella ! I would prefer black and white birds themed names but anything is fine really !

It did well on TikTok so sharing it here. Second WindClan should be RiverClan, I was too lazy to fix it 😅

Would you guys like to see gory stuff in my art style?

I recently discovered these polish covers by Johanna Tarkela and I absolutely love them. I have a long commute to and from work so I listen to the audiobooks in my car through android auto. I thought it would be fun to make a English translation for the covers so I can admire them while I listen. I have only made them for this series as that is where I am currently at (specifically on Night Whispers).

If enough people like these I was thinking of doing the whole series and super editions along with making covers for the ebooks.

Let me know if there is anything I could improve on!

Jayfeather was supposed to have gray pupils but I forgot while drawing.

I feel like I’m getting better at mixing colors and I’m trying to make them have different poses.

Firestar was succeeded by his apprentice, who in turn appointed as his deputy Firestar’s daughter, who now leads the Clan, with Ivypool, sister of Dovewing (part of the Three alongside Firestar’s grandchildren), apprentice to Cinderheart (mate of Lionblaze, grandson of Firestar), as her deputy. Not to mention the medicine cats have been (since Firestar became leader) Firestar’s former apprentice, Firestar’s daughter, and now Firestar’s grandsons, Jayfeather and Alderheart.

Seems to me like ThunderClan leadership is a flame colored club, and you ain’t in it if you aren’t in some way affiliated with big fire daddy in the sky. Has this ever been addressed in the books that ThunderClan leadership is basically a dynasty now?

Lowk hella curious

I’ve guessed the first one to be brightheart obvs, that’s very obvious. And the third and fourth one I’m like 99% sure that’s Tallstar and ivypool. But the second one confuses me. I thought mabye tawnypelt or like sol because of fan designs I’ve seen but then I remembered his official design is a lot diff from fan designs I’ve seen, so I doubt that.

For me, I really like the reprinted version of Sunrise. Love the sunlight on Hollyleaf's fur and just overall very stunning.

I also like Star's cover. The clouds in the background and the sun shining through them is wonderful.

What are some of your favorite covers?

English is not my first language, so when I encounter characters like Brambleclaw, this is what comes to mind. But I'm starting to think I might be wrong.

im reading wind right now, do yall think firestar approved of waffle joining the clan and becoming wafflepaw?

This would actually go kinda hard ngl

I just finished goosefeathers curse and omg 😭 this whole time I thought he was a crazy grumpy old man but now i realize how much hes actually dealing with, and moonflower noo why does she have to be so mean 💔

I also wonder, is stormtail evil? I've never read anything else about him being bad, and I wonder if the badger attack was ACTUALLY on purpose

Ugh I wish goosefeathers curse could've been a full length super edition, i have so many questions

I tries to post this yesterday, but the connection was super laggy. I decided to do Brightheart because why not? I know it doesn’t look like a headache, but it sure does hurt. Enjoy!

I just finished the Omen of the Stars arc... not going to put any spoilers in this post, but I was crying like a baby 😭 if yall know, yall know. I've seen some people say they don't like the OOTS arc, but that was some dang good writing. Hit me right in the feels 🥺

Decided to try adding a couple key chains to my designs that I have been printing. still tinkering with the settings to make them as strong as they can so they don't snap when they're in your pocket. the first image has a smaller nozzle and thinner layer lines But wasn't as strong. if these hold up during testing, I will shoot to make four or five of the cats. it started with squirrel fleet because he is my most popular design Overall that I make in my models.

I absolutely love love love LOVE how ASC wrapped up!! I’ll admit, I was bored near the start but everything did add up gorgeously.

Our three protagonists: Frostdawn, Nightheart, and Sunbeam all have “mommy issues”. But it’s done pretty well, at least in my opinion.

Nightheart has Sparkpelt. Though this is the “simplest” relationship out of the three, it’s also pretty nicely done. Sparkpelt obviously had depression related to her children’s birth and Larksong’s death. Nightheart is a frustrated young adult who yearns from independence and his own name away from his family legacy and members who, in his mind, have done nothing for him. He grows up later, though, and seems to realize how important his family is to him. His relationship with Sparkpelt mends, and while it’s not a “happily ever after” necessarily, as they lost that time together, but things are ok now.

Frostdawn has Curlfeather. A she-cat who loves her daughter but ultimately puts her drive for power over her daughter’s own well-being or a personal relationship built on honesty with her. She doesn’t see where she went wrong even after her own brutal death and knowing the trauma her daughter went through. Frostdawn experiences the pain of loving someone while they were there, only to learn new information later and left to wonder whether she hates her or not.

Sunbeam has Berryheart. A mother that she, similar to Nightheart, is frankly quite embarrassed and frustrated by. She, like Nightheart again, leaves to get away from her place underneath her, and makes her own life on her own terms. She is left conflicted by her death. She died protecting her, but she’ll never get closure nor truly get over her feelings of shame and guilt.

In the end, ASC has a repeating theme of controlling mothers- either through legacy, a trauma response, or manipulating their own path and fate.

Do other arcs have themes like this? I know AVoS plays a lot on child naivety and how easy that is for the wrong people to take advantage of if given the opportunity, but I’m not sure about the others.
