From an old version of Fera Sapiens: the design progression of Thunder, a mentor/parental figure for Jaguar and Cyclone from the abandoned zoo!

While searching distant lands to follow an omen about the clan’s gods, she comes across the house where the protagonists were born. Thunder takes their resemblance to the jaguar god as a good sign and invites them to join her clan, hoping to fulfill the prophecy.

Design-wise, the shift from calico to ginger fur was to keep consistent with the warm, fire-like theme of the clan as a whole!

An oc’s final redesign before their story was discontinued! Shifting the fantasy narrative to a sci-fi one was too much work :,«

Extra designs, notes, and flats below:

Top left was a color palette test with an older design that had two sets of wings and magic essence

Top right’s colors were based on okapi, pythons, and cuttlefish

Bottom two’s colors were based on golden tigers and butterfly eyespots

Yet another antagonist (although minor) from the old version of Fera Sapiens!

Smokestorm is the son of Lionstar, leader of the abandoned zoo clan. Lionstar’s recruitment of the protagonists threatens his status as the gifted apprentice, sparking a murder mystery that jeopardizes all the clans.

(Their names still follow the wc naming system since their characters were scrapped and recycled at the same time the story shifted away from warrior cats)

Extra designs, notes, and flats under the cut!

💨 ⛈💨

Smokestorm was a blue ticked tabby with white spots resembling fire, shifting to warmer colors as a black ticked tabby in his most recent design

The warmer design was also a style test with colored lineart and unique eye shapes (Smokestorm’s pupils are smoke-shaped, matching his name)

The lineless illustration was supposed to include Lionstar and a background, depicting a confrontation between them due to Smokestorm’s rash behavior

Lionstar is a sandy-ginger ticked tabby with white spots

Another antagonist from my upcoming comic, tentatively titled Fera Sapiens! Vixen is Owl’s mentor and heir of the monarchy that leads their clan.

The story used to be based on wc and set in urban Poland, making large predators like bears and lynxes rare. Smaller carnivores like dogs, foxes, and badgers are more common.

Despite this, the biggest danger to feral cats aren’t predators, but other cats.
