Daily Doodle- To The Blade

(I'm going to put my "update" for the day under all the art. Even if you don't have time to scroll through all my art/commentary about my art, which is reasonable seeing as some of these chapters go up to 2k-3k words, I highly suggest you read that. Thanks!) 

So once again, the daily doodle is named after an Everything Everything song. It's really hard to recommend the band to anyone because half their songs have really, really strange lyrics and they're all secretly about P O L I T I C S instead of you know, romance, or other things you can apply easily to yourself or your edgy OC. I also usually dislike them the first time I hear them but I'm in love by the third listen, for some reason. I make sure to find the less explicit ones when choosing chapter titles because damnit, Chrona's going to be PG unless it comes to the brutal murder of my characters in which case... okay, a little less PG. 

I listened to an entire album four times in one day while I was on the plane to Colorado (family's on vacation) and had some GREAT ideas for songs and worldbuilding, some of which are reflected in the images below and some of which are... less so? I've been having some brutal art/writing block since I got here but I'll talk about that more under the pics.

This was actually done weeks ago, I wanted to color it in but never had the time, especially because I ended up hating a lot of the composition

This was actually done weeks ago, I wanted to color it in but never had the time, especially because I ended up hating a lot of the composition. I had this plan in my head to draw something akin to promotional art for every one of my stories, starting with the oldest and working my way up, but anyone who's been here since the beginning or close to it is probably already laughing at me because they know just how batshit insane my old stories were, from terrible punctuation/capitalization to plot threads that were never resolved or bought up again to... well, this.

The above is Phoenixfeather (later Phoenixstar) and Ripplefoot, two of the main characters from Vengeance, my very first Warriors fanfiction on here. Like any good Warriors fiction written by an amateur, it's centered around a blatantly obvious prophecy... or is it really. The story is about old DragonClan and I mean REALLY OLD DRAGONCLAN so instead of having tunnels full of lesbians and demons (yes this is the plot of Ashleap's Fall) you get people running away to make their own clan every five minutes, ridiculous power hierarchies that kept the powerful users in charge, and a black fox who was actually from one of my other stories I wrote in seventh grade who was supposed to make it into a story on here but didn't thus rendering the crossover useless and... you can see where this is going. 

(Let me attempt a brief synopsis.)

Pheonixkit (do you like reading Phoenix spelled wrong? You're going to love this book.) is born into DragonClan, a clan where all the nursery tales are real and everything in the forest wants to kill you. She receives a strange feather as a gift from a delusional cat who waltzes in and out of the clan a lot to give cryptic prophecies and somehow manages to stick it up behind her ear for the whole book. Then she learns that foxes are evil, especially the one that's black because it's fur got burned... or something... which has been murdering her clanmates since they came here because it's a very determined fox. Apparently, though, not all foxes are evil because one saves her life and then dies. Pheonixkit/paw/feather continues to be an ass to her clanmates for almost the rest of the book, including Ripplepaw who she attacks because he might be in her prophecy but then isn't and then... they're mates? (This book gives me a migraine.) Luckily there's a B-plot far more interesting than the A-plot about the leader, Moonstar, along with several of the other cats in the clan who weren't born in DragonClan. In fact, many of them, including Moonstar's mate, came from another clan that DragonClan may or may not have conquered. Many of the clan cats are not terribly loyal due to the constant shifting of borders at that time and then there's an entire subplot about an internal rebellion and one of the rival clans being cut to shreds... a rival clan that might be lead by a DragonClan defector?
