Meet Field Colony! Shifting Roots (Drawing a ____!)

[@TennelleFlowers]

Thanks everyone for the support! We are going to restock books on Avalon's ko-fi shop as soon as we can! We have to do things in small batches due to our small team. The e-book is still available and the physical book will also be available on other stores webpages soon, it just takes a little time for those to appear. (idk why that is, but I don't make the rules) The copy on Avalon's ko-fi shop is the only one that is signed with the sticker sheet and bookmarks, and like I said, we have to do those in small batches, so we'll get more soon! Thanks! Hope that helps clear things up!

[@ghostgirl-me9xy]

I wish to be know when it happens how can I. Your the reason why I got back into my og story with their own roles

[@shorkbork_finn]

Is there a way to be notified when they restock?

[@Auxiottl]

will you post on your community tab when they re-launch? Sorry to be the third person to ask but im just really excited to finally be able to read this series and having a signed copy would be awesome

making spottedshadow and dawnfrost exes who stayed friends is SUCH a huge W oh my god i love that

[@beastmaster0934]

@@moonnightbomb I agree. Especially considering few people do this. Exes who stay friends are few and far between, both I media and (unfortunately) in real life.

[@jaybirdoliver5107]

Something I’ve always loved about these lineups is that you always talk about the cat you’re focusing on as if they were the main character. You tell things from their perspective. While the story seems to obviously frame Fernface as a villain or antagonist, you tell her story from her perspective and you can see that SHE thinks she’s in the right. I love that.

[@MisterMistea]

Making this an original property was such a smart decision. I love how the original concepts manage to enhance the stuff borrowed from Warriors. The way introducing more roles and more of a hierarchy to the Colonies manages to make it feel like more of a system and give the cats more goals to work towards, how the networking of cats manages to give everyone a sense of having a consistent clique or community, and how having these social media companion pieces give each background character a tangible personality so they're more than just padding for the allegiances or blank slates to use in a group shot. Really great work so far!

YES TENNELLE IS BACK LETS GO 😭🙌 I’ve missed my inner child being fueled by silly traumatized cats

[@PixieStreet]

Oh my gosh welcome back Tennelle! I know you probably won't read this but I just want to say how much I did (and still do) look up to you. I've been following your channel for 4-5 years and my dream when I was little was to have art as good as yours, and even though I still don't reach your level, I'm happy to see some of your flair shining through into my current artstyle. What I guess I'm saying in a longwinded way was I'm so glad you're back and I really appreciate the spot you held in little me's heart.

[@CreatureCreations-]

Shifting Roots really inspired me to start my own Warriors inspired series. The Burning Hope follows mostly the lives and family of Brighthope and Lightpaw, eventually branching out across miles of setting with main themes being family, maturing, and redemption not being something tossed around but worked for. Brighthope is a loyal cat that's been conditioned to be icy and intelligent. She's made mistakes although she's tried her best to be a good leader. But she needs to learn how to be a just leader, not only good. Lightpaw is the opposite, as his mother's neglect and father's death, caused by Brighthope, has left him quiet and passive. He tackles with torn loyalty to his cruel mother and their dying clan and sister's new life, where he could have it all if he gave up his morals. So thank you for inspiring me. I can't wait to read it Tennelle.

[@theemiii_]

This sounds cool!

[@CreatureCreations-]

​@@theemiii_Thank you! I have a few videos about The Burning Hope and I'm working in a full voiceclaim of allegiances for Brighthope's clan, as well as Lightpaw's if I get to it.

[@jill.jilliane]

Ah! Drawing a Blank really inspired me to explore creative writing during COVID. It’s nice to see you back :)

[@Equincenox]

Absolutely thrilled to see you back, Tennelle! Watched the older Field Colony (then WindClan) line up to prep for this and the improvement is wonderful to see! Hope you're doing well and congratulations to you and the team on the near release of Shifting Roots!!!

[@numberjacksoctonauts7138]

Wow, Tennelle! This chart looks fantastic! And I love the information we got on each of the cats and the ranks in Field Colony. Lilyfire's story about her name; Clayfur and Thrushspots' opposing ideals with Career Paths; Hazelfur's backstory about him once being a Keeper; Spottedshadow finding her Path as a Mentor... it's all beautifully woven together. Well done!

[@milkywaymetaphor1049]

Wahooo!!!! Shifting Roots is available to borrow digitally from my local library app. Can’t wait to read it!!!!!

[@nyx.on.youtube]

I actually dropped my phone when I saw this post!! ❤ I've been watching since the early days of Simmy Speaks and you've inspired me so, so much.

oh my god, you have no idea how happy i was to see this in my inbox, i remember watching the original clouded moon videos when they first came out and they inspired me so much. honestly, you have always been my biggest inspiration for art, when i was younger i took a lot of elements from your illustrations and followed your tutorials and tips religiously, and i can safely say i still see the remnants of them today haha. i'm happy to say i am now attending art college and am chasing my dreams of becoming a talented illustrator like yourself :) if it weren't for you i'm not sure i'd be in the same position today, so i'll be forever grateful for you. thank you tennelle❤

[@itshillaryt]

OH MY GOSHHH! LOOK AT THIS! Tennelle, you’ve grown so much as an artist! I had the best time watching you draw all of these characters’ shapes and features. Everyone is so unique! Speaking of unique, having a cast this large but so fleshed out is incredible. You all have done amazing work with this series! I can’t wait to get my hands on the book. ❤️ This was such a delight. I’m so happy you’re doing well and are back to doing what you love!

[@lake_effect_tantrum]

14:10 How dare they do that to him! As if his mate’s death wasn’t bad enough, but his captain and second forced him to change his role and to add insult to injury, changed his name to an ableist one, not to mention how they treated his daughter for how she looked.
