okay this is probably really dumb and self indulgent buuuut! The Patchverse is very inspired by Frankenstein elements as we all know! And that got me thinking- Frankenstein is my favorite book maybe ever sooo what ifff I drew some of the characters in the fashions from when the book took place!! Very long winded explanation for no reason idk, I just got struck with the idea of putting them in non-specific late 1700s fashion (I was mainly going for the 1790s though)

Only Patch and Crow have been given anthro forms but I wanted to draw more characters so I kind of made shit up I hope they look okay!

(This will just be rambling about the clothes and crap so if u don’t care about that u dont have to read) I chose the 1790’s for inspiration because if I recall correctly the book never states WHEN in the 1700s it is and I just like to imagine it as close to the 1800s as possible because that’s when Mary Shelley wrote it. The specific year their outfits are from though is just indiscernible, I took inspiration from the whole decade. Hayfever is inspired by a fashion illustration from later on in the decade. I made the arms of her sleeves a darker color than the rest of her dress because the fur on her legs is darker! Also, I specifically gave her Scarlet Fever because that’s what Elizabeth Lavenza and Caroline Beaufort get sick with in the book! I tried to give Patchface a more practical dress because she’s doing a bunch of cutting and operating and dissecting and reconstructing in it. Olivepaw’s stockings are red because of her violet tendencies hehehe. Apart from Crowfood, they’re all in fashion that is more ‘upper class’ because the protagonists in the book are aristocrats. I imagine here though that the clothes Crowfood is wearing were found randomly instead of tailored for her, like The Monster lol. The reason I out her in men’s clothes was because in my head the coat kind of reminds me of a trench coat which reminds me of a comically evil villain in a big trench coat, so I just wanted her to look 💥eeeeviiil💥 LOL 😭 In the corner, Hoppaw and Cuckoopaw are playing with a little wooden sword, which is a reference to the Junji Ito adaptation of Frankenstein where Henry and Victor play with swords in a flashback scene! The skull is Cuckoopaw’s hand is just a Hamlet thing dw it’s not real.. I tried to base their hairstyles off of ones that I saw in paintings while also trying to keep the character’s fur texture and charm in them, and I hope I did okay there? The background is all pieces from 1700s clothing/bags/embroidery. I probably slipped up on quite a few things outfit wise but I tried to do all the correct research!! :D I LOVE HISTORICAL FASHION!!!

I really wanted to draw the leader of The Horizon Clan!

She did not deserve all the bullshit she had to put up with 💔

I couldn’t sleep last night because this image wouldn’t leave my brain

Fun fact, when I finally did get to sleep Bravestar was in my dream and he was Adam Sandler. Like they were the same guy. Fun

It’s choppy but this scene reminded me of them lol. Wish her the best in her evil plans tho

I’ve been a little busy over the past few days but @sapphiclittlecryptid suggested a name for Cuckoopaw’s deceased older sister and it was so good I wanted to properly draw the happy little family before things went wrong

The daughter was named Warblerpaw for most of her life, and she was very peppy but much quieter than Cuckoopaw is lol. Upon becoming a warrior, she was named Warblerperch, but she didn’t get to keep that name for long.

Another character for @scarechrow ‘s Patchverse!

Crawlstripe is a warrior in Sunclan and the mother of the most dramatic apprentice in the clan! She’s more quiet and reserved than the average warrior, not speaking to others much, but generally going along with what a majority of the clan wants at any given time.

She was a bit more sunny when her mate and first child were alive, but still not very sociable. She really only ever got close with her mate, being a little codependent with him, and was happy to have a small family with him. They both loved their daughter very much, and she grew up to be a good warrior. However, soon after Crawlstripe and her mate were expecting another kit, both he and their daughter died, leaving Crawlstripe extremely depressed and alone. She didn’t even name her new son until a few days after his birth, and she didn’t make an effort to be close to him like she had been with the other members of her family.

She doesn’t quite treat Cuckoopaw like he’s her son. She doesn’t talk to him about his deceased father or older sister, when she talks to him at all (which isn’t too often). At first it was purely a defense mechanism, she didn’t want to be so hurt if she lost another kid. But as time goes on she progressively views him as more annoying and wants to form a relationship less and less. She thinks it’s just easier to not be around him.

He’s always gotta say something and it never actually needs to be said

I really wanted to draw all the current Patchverse apprentices hanging out at the gathering amphitheater! (I really hope I didn’t miss anyone)

also ignore the background I have no idea how to draw trees. Or. Stairs 💔

We’ve got @scarechrow ‘s Olivepaw, Webpaw, and Midgepaw, @inferwoah ‘s Rustedpaw and Roosterpaw, @sapphiclittlecryptid ‘s Hoppaw, and @afollowernotaleader ‘s Maplepaw! And Cuckoopaw of course

I think my favorite is Webpaw she just came out looking so fluffy

unshaded version too:

So much energy of" hold my Redbull I'm gonna make this jump"

I'm so excited to see more of him and your additions to the Patchfaceverse!!

(I based Hoppaw loosely off of Zeke from Bob's burgers so him having a theatre kid buddy is SO funny to me)

OMG HE ABSOLUTELY DOES and he over-dramatizes it EVERY time 😭😭 acting it out to the best of his ability and everything too, I can even see him adding in little white lies of things that didn’t even happen because he thinks it’d make a more interesting story

thank you so much also!! :) I hope you’re having a nice day/night !

I’m gonna start off by saying I don’t really interact with people or post on Tumblr, so I’m a bit nervous! Anyways, @scarechrow ‘s OCs and universe have CAPTIVATED me in a way like no other! The unique community and lore surrounding this story is absolutely delightful and I get so excited whenever there’s a new post. I think the people in my life know more about the Patchverse than actual Warriors lore from my yapping lol. All that being said, the only reason I’ve gained enough courage to post is because I spent a few days on a piece of fanart! I’m so excited to see where this story goes and see the universe expand.

aaaand I also ended up making an OC (which I haven’t done for anyone I don’t know personally either! Today’s full of firsts)
