Description SPOILER WARNING!

This is an image I drew in reference to Warriors : Sunset by Erin Hunter, where Brambleclaw enters a world through he dreams to meet his father, Tigerstar, and half brother, Hawkfrost.

The reason I illustrated this scene was because when I read it, I really loved the atmosphere it gave, and left a stunning picture in my mind. It was also a great excuse to draw my first Warriors fanart directly from the book!

Here is the excerpt form the book I tried to draw. It's from Chapter 6.

~

The sky above Brambleclaw's head was dark, but the sickly glow of fungus guided his paws along the path. Shadowy ferns brushed his fur with damp, sickly fronds. Every hair on his pelt prickled as he bounded towards the meeting place. The pain from the wounded shoulder had vanished, and he felt stronger and more powerful with every heartbeat.

Soon the path grew wider and opened up into a clearing. Though no moon shown, a pale wash of light revealed Brambleclaw's half brother Hawkfrost crouched beside a rock, where a massive tabby tom was sitting.

As Brambleclaw emerged from the trees Hawkfrost sprang to his paws and raced toward him. "Brambleclaw!" he exclaimed. "Where have you been?"

Sure, that's fine. Thanks for asking! It'd be cool if I could see the video when you're done, if you don't mind. :3 Just because I obviously love warriors...and actually AMVs too. XD

Now that i've read the spoiler great job. I tend to just critique art and not even realize that it has a specific form(which most art does).

XD I was about to say - Well, I can't really add stars or change his eyes, it's not in the book like that! Thanks for the critique, though. It actually did help, and now that you pointed a few things out I, I have to agree with you. I see some of my mistakes, and will be sure to learn from that and use that knowledge in future projects, thank you! ^^

GeneralArrow [2007-07-26 04:59:16 +0000 UTC]

Thats really good. For the tools you have its hard to get any better then that. I would add an ambient light source say stars or mystical energies just so you get that sense of them being in a mystical place , you have some of that aspect but light blues and or pinks would really bring out that picture I think. As with the first cat(one back turned) I'd make sure your mystical Myst didn't part as wide at the top of his head. And make it part a little more at the bottom. Also I'd make is back a tad darker. The cat with yellow eyes, I'd go more with Orange or a Dark green. The yellow stands out way to much considering that the other lighting in the scene is yellow. If you want to do a reflection effect for its eyes add in greens and darken the yellow. Other than those small things, really nice.

I'd make the mushroomsthe blues and pinks. As well as the stars an light orange in addition to the other colors. This should be in the one I posted before just forgot to put this bit of critique in.

Thank you! That's great, since that's what I was going for - trying to illustrate the scene to the best of my ability and knowledge.

Ah, yes, one of my favorite scenes! I, too, love the ambiance of Tigerstar's shadow-forest. Plus, glowing fungi is fun to colour.

A big +fave for wonderful Warriors art of such a beautifully described setting.

Wow...thanks so much for the wonderful comment! It really made my day. :3 I'm glad you like it, I'm very proud of it.

I probably should have trees, but I don't remember any in the description in the last book of set 2...D:

It's been a while for me, and I unfortunately no longer have the books. I guess I just sort of envisioned a faintly glowing mushroom and fern-filled forest. I think your version is fine as is. It sort of has a dark, misty feel to it.

DUDE THATS FUCKING COOL!! *tackle drool*

i was so amazed that Brambleclaw killed his brother! i was like "...LOL HAWKFROST".


now what i want to know....Tigerstar is the father of Tawnypelt, Hawkfrost & Brambleclaw. does that mean Mothwing, who is Hawkfrost's sister, is also Brambleclaws sister? o3o i think thats right...



Brambleclaw: HAWKFROST GOT OWNED & MOTHWINGS MA BITCH!!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. It was one of my favorite scenes, and just thought it'd be fun to draw it :3

Me too, though I loved Hawkfrost but I knew he'd meet a sad end...

I guess she'd be his half sister, since they have different mothers. Sasha and some other chick XD LOL

Thanks for faving it!!!! <3

anytime. oh yeah, im sending a letter to Erin Hunter as part as a school project. IM SO EXCITED!!! im sendin some art too. :3

Mothwing is Brambleclaws sister? Brambleclaw: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Mothwing: I AM YOUR SISTER! >w<

we all knew Hawkfrost would meet his fate. the spoilers said so. XDD plus, Brambleclaw would never do anything to gain power like that. fair & square is his style.

give Tawnypelt some kudos cuz she bitched at her father! YAY!

LigerZeroElaine In reply to murkrowzy [2007-02-26 04:31:00 +0000 UTC]

RLY? Oh, wow that's so cool!

XD I'm surprised that Brambleclaw has pretty much paid no mind to Mothwing, probably since she'd a med cat he figures he'll just leave her alone and spend his time stalking Squirrelflight.

Yah, and besides, Erin wouldn't slaughter Firestar that way. Hawkfrost wuz cool, tho.

WHOO! Tawnypelt wins! She pwned that noob Tigerstar! >3
