WHOOO!! First illustration of 2025, and its warrior cats drama. Follow-the-tide's latest gathering really popped off and oh boy it's so nice to be inspired this way again. 😻 I've got so many ideas and pieces I want to draw!!

Today's piece is the big twist of the gathering. Streamclan apprentice Claypaw (owned by Xenia) climbed Stoneclan's pillar to accuse a Shallowclan warrior of carrying the scent that's been used to set up traps across the territories. No one was expecting this - in fact, it was a lucky nat20 on a high DC that revealed Lichenheart's traitorous nature in the first place. End card text credit goes to Claypaw's owner Xenia - aka Oceansodaz on Artfight and Toyhouse!

I'll definitely be sharing most art later (I'm so inspired to draw moreee now). Expect some 2024 Artfight art as well! I kinda fell behind on that after the event...
