Some gorgeous Moonpool concepts by Braver!

Since floating islands are a major part of the environments within #soaringthree, the second concept explores the idea of the Moonpool's waters flowing from them.

Behind the waterfall is also the den of someone very important... can you guess who it is?

There is text on the top that says "Moonpool". Digital illustration of the Moonpool from Warrior Cats but with islands floating in the air above it.

Our artists have been hard at work developing our official art style! We aren't quite there yet, but while you wait, here are some pitches by @rosia4309.bsky.social and Spoopywingedspawner respectively!

#SoaringThree #Warriors #WarriorCats
Several digital illustrations featuring winged cats with bird feet in place of their back paws. Several digital illustrations featuring winged cats with bird feet in place of their back paws. There are many different cats across the canvas with varying expressions and poses. There are notes scattered around that read: "Lined markings." "Marking line art is colored." "Eyelashes are "part of the eye" (exceptions can be made for more dramatic eyelashes)." "Eyes contain shade in flat promotional art." "Flat eyeshine is a lighter version of the eye color." "Eyeshine remains on closed eyes." Ditto, by a different artist and containing different characters. The notes scattered around say: "Semi-realistic (inspo from Nifty and Finchwing)." "Very shapey." "Big wings to carry their bodies." "Not all cats have vibrissals (spots on muzzles)." "Eye shines are not white: instead a very pale color of said character's eye color." "Inner stripes/spots/details have soft, colored lines." "Have tear ducts." "Kits wings are noticeably smaller."
