Description These are fun character design practice lemme tell ya

I tried to base them off the wiki designs and also the common descriptions of clan cats. Thunderclan seems like mostly shorthairs and lean cats, and Bluestar herself is described "lithe". I've always had a certain look for Bluestar and, aside from a few tweaks, I kept that design. Thunderclan cats don't seem to have any natural obstacles in their territory aside from the twolegplace, so it make sense for them to have a conglomerate of breeds not really restricted to their territory. 
 
Riverclan cats are usually thick-furred, under-coated and muscular, and Crookedstar is described as huge. I tried to look for references for broken cat jaws, but the image results were pretty squemish so I tried to guess on what a mal-healed broken jaw would look like. I can't imagine him being very well spoken with a jaw like that.

Windclan cats are usually thick-furred but smooth, affected by the moor over time. Breeds like rexes and orientals seem to fit Tallstar and his cats best. The real issue with Tallstar was following his official art or his description. I went with a mixture of both.

Brokenstar was probably the hardest. He's large and menacing, but also pretty young. Like an edgy teenager. Shadowclan seem to have a lot of Persian breed blood and thick fur, as Brokenstar, Yellowfang, Raggedstar, Silverflame, and Morningflower are all described with thick fur and broad faces. It follows the already set trope of persian = evil. It also makes sense for Shadowclan cats to have dark colored fur with a lot of earthy tones.

I really like how you drew Tallstar, with the ear bits missing and the black flecks. You should def do more of these!
