Description
“Attack!” Jayfrost screeched, flinging herself down from the ledge, her patrol streaming after her as she led the charge against the badger. The creature released its grip on Crystalpaw and whirled to face them, snarling in fury. Jayfrost nearly turned tail and fled at the sight of the furious animal; only the need to protect her Clanmates kept her flying towards the badger, yowling her battle cry.
For whatever reason, I didn't realize until now that I haven't uploaded any of the illustrations I've done for Trailing Stars since Chapter Sixteen, and that was over a year ago. O.o I've done a few since then, so I'm going to upload them all now.
This chapter was written by myself, and edited by Mistpaw. The illustration was drawn in May of 2016. The gray-and-white cat is Crystalpaw, the badger is a badger (of course), and the gray-brown paw in the top-right corner is my fursona Jayfrost. I remember it took me forever to find a good reference for a snarling badger. For creatures that are described as vicious and aggressive in Warriors online, there is a surprising shortage of any images online of them snarling or growling or flashing their teeth in any way. But I eventually found one, and I'm fairly happy with how the badger and its bloody fangs turned out overall, though its a bit old now of course. The background's a bit lazy, but I did try.
