Redesigned again?? sketches

I'm trying to learn how to cat again, and it sure ain't easy. So please do yourself a favour and like, don't study this too much, the lines are sooo messy and ugly I don't even know where to begin. xD

Anyway, I'll just lean back and watch the shock spread on your features at my new sketches lol~ I can almost hear the collective gasps of outrage and "you didn't!!!"

Okay not quite. From time to time, a brat or two tries to tell me what I can and cannot do with warrior cats and genetics. And the funny thing is, the more I get told off, the more annoyed I get - the more I want to "genetify" these furballs. Suffice to say, telling me off and accusing me of ruining canon is counter-effective. uvo 

Aside from that, I gave myself a challenge. Before, when I redesigned warriors, I did so by focusing on which characters' canon designs I favoured. Like, say I favour Squirrelflight's coat the most, that means every ancestor of hers has to bend to the rules of genetics in order to preserve her design. 

This time, I started by redesigning from the top down. Like, say the first ancestor is Nutmeg, alright, she's brown tabby-and-white. Then every offspring of hers has to reflect that, not the other way around. And so on. It was REALLY addictive so now I'm halfway through my family tree already. (Yeah I'm crazy trust me I know xD) 

(You could also call this newest redesign batch "how to nullify the meaning of a character's name 101" like oupsies Tigerclaw, so much for your striping)


EDIT: I was too sleepy yesterday to write any explanations on their designs, but please allow me to do so now.

Tigerclaw - solid black longhair. Being the son of two solid-coloureds, he cannot genetically retain his stripes. Sucks for him, but I admit I find this solid black version of his to be sliiightly more handsome. xD

Whitestorm - black silver tabby and white longhair. He's got longhaired parents, and Snowfur will be silver something (thanks to Moonflower, and it's the only thing that explains her dark ears) by which Whitestorm inherits his silver. However, he cannot be pure white bc he has only one white spotted parent (Thistleclaw) and so he can only be partly white coloured. He's still pretty handsome tho hehe. 

Willowpelt - blue mink colourpoint shorthair. She's... pretty original-looking now. Since she's canonically blue, it wasn't too farfetched actually. And colourpoint is recessive so it can hide for generations. ALSO - she now salvages her "unusual blue eyes." ;w; 

Cinderpelt - solid black longhair. Since in this redesign there is no silver to be gotten hold of in her family, she goes from black smoke to solid black. I still kept her dark green eyes tho, she's not the same without em. :3

Goldenflower - light amber non-tabby shorthair. She's basically the non-tortie version of her WR redesgin. There's still lots of amber in her family, which meant I was able to keep her looking like a light golden cat yay~

Sandstorm - lilac tabby shorthair. Now with parents that aren't carriers of red (Redtail's tortie coat is due to chimerism, so he doesn't breed true for red) she cannot be cream either - so I went with lilac instead. It's a recessive gene, and looks sandy enough that she reflects well on her name. Actually I am growing SO fond of it omg.

Firestar - ruddy ticked tabby shorthair. He's almost like he's been, except he's black-based instead of red-based this time around. Since Nutmeg doesn't carry red, he can't either.
