Wow, a Warriors drawing. It's been a while, hasn't it? I just never really felt inspired to draw them until now. So, have a Breezepelt and a Brokenstar. :'D
I also took the opportunity to practice some new shading styles and techniques. ^^
Ah, Breezepelt. That one cat you just want to slap and give a big hug at the same time.
I mean, on one hand, your life kinda sucked. Crowfeather was a sucky dad, and Nightcloud was an overzealous, jealous mother. He lived in perhaps the most broken family in history, and you can't help but feel for him all through the Power of Three. I mean, he actually tries, and despite his snappy attitude and cynicism, he's not evil. Like I said earlier, all you want to do is give the poor guy a hug, and let's face it, he really needed one.
So, of course when Hollyleaf let the truth out at the gathering, he was nothing short of disgusted with his father. And I think all the moons of bitterness and hatred boiled down, and made him easy for the Dark Forest to manipulate. I mean, ever read "The Fourth Apprentice?" You can see how malleable he's become, and how thickly the villainous cats lay out the idea of revenge on him. Granted, some of it wasn't logical, but like I said before, too many moons of bitterness and hatred replaced reason and loyalty to the warrior code.
Still, that's no excuse.
Breezepelt made his own choice in the end, to be loyal to the Dark Forest. He chose to target cats who suffered more than him (Let's face it, no matter how you look at it the cats he's trying to hurt because of the love triangle have it worse than him. Crowfeather and Leafpool are at the main center of it all, and Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf are both HalfClan and Medicine Cat kits); chose to defy StarClan; chose to kill a pregnant queen to frame a cat, who like I said before, had it worse thanks to the love triangle; and all because he had a poor little me attitude. I never liked cats like him, but I won't deny that this dude is nothing short of fascinating.
I always had it in my head that Brokenstar and Breezepelt were closer, like they had a slight mentor to apprentice bond. It's interesting to me, because Brokenstar once tried to destroy WindClan, the Clan Breezepelt belonged to. Maybe it's because Brokenstar knew what it was to be ridiculed of his heritage, and also succeeded in killing his father, something Breezepelt makes no secret about wanting to do. Or because both would like to see WindClan, and the other Clans, fall to the ground.

That's a great drawing, and I like your even-sided approach towards Breezepelt. I understand some people will have a purely sympathetic attitude towards him and will overlook the immoral things he's tried doing. On the other extreme, there seem to be people out there who have zero sympathy for Breezepelt's situation and ignore all the times his father Crowfeather was a pretty big jerk himself.

I suppose that's my mistake, not writing clearly enough. He attempted to kill Poppyfrost, a heavily pregnant queen, and frame Jayfeather for it. xD

DrakynWyrm In reply to TheJadeLioness [2015-10-13 19:09:55 +0000 UTC]
Just draw the circle for the shape of the head, then make a line straight through the center. Underneath that line, draw another circle, which will be the rough shape of the muzzle. From there? Have at it.

DrakynWyrm In reply to Narwhalicorn123 [2015-10-02 21:06:14 +0000 UTC]
Oh, it's actually simple!
Just draw a round-ish box for the paw in general. Then, add some circles around it for the toes. ^^

Breezepelt definitely makes me feel really bad for him, though I was a lot less sympathetic to him after he tried to kill Jayfeather. I do really like that Brokenstar acts as his mentor though, he was my favorite of the villians.
Really love what you did with the shading on this though, it looks super nice. Your style is just soooo nice.
