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!
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
@@moonnightbomb I agree. Especially considering few people do this. Exes who stay friends are few and far between, both in media and (unfortunately) in real life.
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.
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!
WAIT WHAT? I thought Clouded Moon had been scrapped? Oml, I’m so excited! Hope your in good health Tennelle and that you are taking time for yourself as well!
Literally crying over how quickly we sold out of the signed preorders TAT I will restock ASAP but as a one-person operation for fulfilling these orders I can only order so many at a time. I'll post an update when they're back in stock!
YASSSSS I am starving I NEED IT PLEASE 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 Been following y’all since forever and I’m so hype and happy for y’all!! Keep up the awesome work!!! Super keen to see the outcome of the colonies👀 Sending love and support to the team!! 💕💕💕💕
Where will you post an update? Will you edit this comment, put it as a community post on your channel, should I make a kofi account and follow you there or something else?
:0. drawing a blank. drawing a blank! DRAWING A BLANKKKKKK ITS BACKK!!!!!! I've been around since before COVID, so I'm happier than ever to see a new episode of this series!
I binged the whole book in one night, much to the dismay of my already terrible sleep schedule. The way I was crying throughout the book, omg. Y'all certainly succeeded where Warriors does not- you got me to care about literally every character, even the ones I didn't like, and made their deaths all the more painful 😭
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.
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_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.
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!!!
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!
PRE-ORDERED MY COPY!!! I have missed seeing you and your art around, I am glad you're feeling better and I hope that Long Covid study proves to be helpful to you! So glad seeing this project still continue, I really want to see it and other Warriors projects move on to become their own successful thing, as is their right! Your art has improved a lot also-- from the beautiful atmospheric lighting on the cover to the lineweight of your lineart now! :D
Oh my goodness, I am so excited to watch this tomorrow! Your art has influenced so much of my personal art style and it’s astounding how much I still see in learning from your style today, because you draw shapes so well, and your videos are very informal. Glad you’re bouncing back well with the hacking situation and all! I’m really glad warriors / cat related content is back.
Tennelle!!! missed you a lot, so happy your back, you've seriously been my biggest inspiration in making my own stories and art over the course of a few years, its been amazing to see how you've developed your art so passionately, we are so back with Clouded Moon, woohoo!! :D
Unfortunately TH-cam did not notify me when this came out but, I came as soon as I heard!! I still remember the original DAB video with the sketchy/no line-art style. The characters were so shapely and you really pushed for cats who were family members to look as distinct as possible which is clever design. While the original was a height chart, this one is very interesting as the groups of cats are bundled together by their ranks in the colony. Also I love the line weight and expressions! You guys may be a small team but see a lot of love and effort here, keep at it. 🫶
TENNELLE!!!!!!! MY DARLING!!!! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm so glad to hear you're recovering, I wish you only the best. Thank you so much for your time and effort
OMG TENNELLE!!! I have loved you for years, and you have always been one of my absolute favourite TH-camrs! You even inspired my art and writing style which I can never thank you enough for. Seriously, I missed you so terribly and I’ve been worried about you ever since the video updating us on your health, but I’ve been hopeful I would see a post from you eventually! I’m crying with joy right now I am so glad to see you back and well, you and Clouded Moon mean SO much to me, Tennelle. Shifting Roots will make for the perfect Christmas gift! Welcome back, we love you!!!
Oh man, I remember when the very first whiff of these characters and their stories came out back when I was in highschool. It's so cool to see how it's gone from a Warrior Cats AU, and into it's own thing
I'm so happy to see you back, Tennelle! You have no idea how much your clouded moon series has inspired me in my own little stories. I remember watching your first video of the series over Spottedshadow, and continued watching from there. All your characters, their backstories, dreams, goals, everything has always motivated me when creating my own characters especially when it came to drawing cats funny enough. I'm so happy to see how far you and your team have gone to this point. I am so excited and will most definitely order that book in support of you and your team over this phenomenal story you guys have created. I do hope you are feeling good, no rush or anything with any upcoming videos. We all value your health and will be excited of seeing your next video at any time no matter how long. Take care Tennelle, and keep up the good work! ^w^
Oh my gosh, I am SO happy you're back, I was looking forward to your next video!! Your art has improved so much, and I absolutely adore the drawings you do for the colonies. They have inspired me so much in my own artwork, and I'm glad to see you coming back!! I'm also ecstatic that Clouded Moon is back, I love the story. So glad to see you back, and I hope that anyone involved in the story is sure to keep themselves healthy and happy!!
I pre-ordered the book last night through the amazon app as my older sis let me get it as a christmas present and im so happy she let me its my very first pre order I've ever gotten:) Cant wait to read it!!!! I loved your content so much, tennelle. Keep up the good work!
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. You were the first creator to help me realise my own identity and the first who inspired me to start posting my own work. Im over the Clouded Moon to see you back and I'm glad to hear your doing well!
As someone who has constantly struggled with health shit for years I'm glad you were able to take a break and help yourself heal enough before returning. Your Fandom missed you!
I love how this series has grown. If the pre-order bundle gets restocked I just might splurge a little bit and get one. Good to see you back, Tennelle!
I’m no longer an avid warriors/ animal book fan but Shifting roots has a special place in my heart and also being an Avalon fan I can’t wait to read their latest work!!!
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!
WE BACK hell yeah!!!! i was obsessed with your videos in 4th-ish grade, and when clouded moon rebranded i rebranded my own warriors oc story but in a way more boring way lol.
Welcome back!! I do mourn that I can't partake of the goodies (as an international literally on the other side of the world), but swiping that bad boy on Amazon.
I’m so happy to see you back Tennelle! I watched your videos when I first got into reading the warriors books and when I was discovering my identity.You played such a big part in that with your content 😋‼️
Omg I used to be obsessed with your drawing a blank show and I literally haven’t watched you in years!! I’m so happy to see you come so far, you really inspired my art style/dedication to the craft! Good luck with your project!
I missed you so much!! You were the reason I started to draw!!!!! You were the first person I heard about who was trans and you helped me discover myself!! I’m so happy to watch a drawing a blank!!
EEEK YAY!!! i was having so much fun following the tumblr to keep up while you weren’t making the content about the cats, it was so fun. you really carried my childhood :3
i've been watching your channel since i was in middle school (2016)! and being an adult and seeing you return is the most amazing news! take it easy, and i'm looking forward to all your projects!
I'M HAPPY TO SEE YOU MAKING A COME BACK TENNELLE! I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS! So, I just wanted to share my journey since I've been a fan of yours! Time is a strange thing. Found you when I was just an LGBT egg, realizing I wasn't quite straight/cis. I know I'm demiromantic but I'm debating on my gender. I thought I was Nonbinary, but I started using they/them, she/her and he/him pronouns recently. So maybe I'm actually gender fluid? I don't know yet, but maybe I'll figure it out one day while falling deeper in love with this project as it develops! Anyways- I cannot wait to read this story! I've been a fan since I found you through your Drawing A BLANK series, and then I saw Clouded Moon and got hooked with it when it when it was still Warriors with Windclan, Thunderclan, Shadowclan, and Riverclan. I fell in love with Spottedshadow, Wildfur, Dawnfrost, and Peach right away. They're so far my favorites in the line up you have! Funfact time! I was actually starting my own Warrior Cat like adjacent story a few years ago. But in a similar concept to different books based on different animals like in the Bravelands Brand that were written by former people under the Erin Hunter pseudonym. My brand is Beyond The Wilds Working Title, subject to change There will be different animals featured in my Beyond The Wild Series, not just cats, but dogs too, and dinosaurs, rabbits, lemurs, and so in and so forth Anyway I had my own idea for a cat related series within it called: The Call Of The Colony. So I have cat colonies too. But mine are named like this: Example, not a name for any of the Colonies I have - Colony Of Crimson Carnations. So, like instead of how your colony names are structured like: River Colony mine are structured like Colony of ______. I started this project back in 2018/ 2019 ish. But I haven't made much progress with it, since I am only one person and have chronic physical and mental health issues. I was honestly so scared to even continue The Call Of the Colony after the lore changes you all made for your story. Scared that some people might accuse me of copying the Colony bit. But then I realized that I do have receipts that prove I did not in fact do that. So, I am no longer afraid to continue Call Of The Colony. And if people still want to believe I copied? Then that is on them and not me. Besides my story has different ranks, specialized ranks unique to the Colony, a different belief system, different naming system, and they live on a large island out in the middle of the Ocean 🌊 So, my Colonies are vastly different in structure, beliefs, and setting to your colonies. I decided to just run with it, and not let fear stop me from creating my Warriors Adjacent story! I just wanted to say that you and your team have been an amazing inspiration to me and are the ones that helped me get over my initial fear. I wanted to scrap Call Of The Colony altogether after your team's lore changes, because I was paralyzed with paranoia over being accused of being a, well- copycat haha 😅. But then I realized that I just needed to get over that and tell my story despite my fear. Because the truth of the matter is, sometimes people will have similar ideas, and that's okay. Someone would be hard pressed to come up with anything 100% original anyways. Also, I kind of realized that by making Call Of The Colony I would be accused of copying Warrior Cats anyways, so really, I just need to run with my story and have a "why should I worry, why should I care!" attitude and just do what makes me happy. I guess what I mean to say is, thank you, Tennelle and all the people that are working on this story and have contributed to it. You've helped me find my lost spark of inspiration and I cannot wait to see where this story goes, nor can I wait to start getting Call Of The Colony back in business. Here's to the future! May Clouded Moon find much success and Tennelle - may you recover as much as you can! 🎉🎉🎉
I missed this channel so much! I’ve watched you since I was a kid and I especially loved to rewatch your Clan lineup videos. I’m so excited to see them updated and remade and im so glad to see you back; can’t wait to watch this when I have time!
this is so awesome to see. i remember watching the first speedpaints years ago and thinking "wow, what a cool story! i wonder where it will go?" and now we get to actually see it happen! i'm very excited. :)
Omg I can't believe you're back!!! You've been my biggest inspiration since I was 15, and I just turned 21! I love how your art looks in this so much! Every cat looks so buff its crazy!!! And I love the details on the older cats, like some of the elders look slightly mangy. Love the added realism! I can't wait to read the book when it comes out!! I've been following this series for so long, and these cats hold such a special place in my heart. It's exciting to see how far it's all come!
WERE SO BACK. Honest to God's i missed this big doof, and im really excited to hear about the new lore. It actually inspired a few things in my own custom clans, not much but just a couple things and frankly seeing this new lore could totally make warrior cats canon series really interesting had it ever been rewritten to fit this lore
OH MY GOSH IM SO READY!!! I remember falling in love with this series all those years ago. You inspired me so much with your art, and influenced my style a lot! Just rediscovering you now, so thanks for everything! Can’t wait for the book!
Its really lovely to hear you drawing and talking on TH-cam again! I'm pretty sure you've been easing back into other things as well but this is the first video here in a long while so it seemed like a good place to say 'welcome back!' This project getting a physical book is wonderful news and wish the whole team the best!!
I cannot explain how excited I was to see you on my recommended 😭 Your videos were always my go-to to watch after school when I was younger. It’s great to see you back and I wish you a speedy recovery!❤️🐓
I am so happy to see you back you inspired me to draw when I was little and that’s saying a lot I always would give up after drawing once I saw how bad I was compared to others but you made that feel okay I’m forever grateful for how you’ve helped me and the little girl who used to barley be able to even get started
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❤
I know I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to say that I'm so excited to see these characters again! Your artwork is amazing, and the personalities you've come up with for all these characters is super impressive. It's inspiring to me as an aspiring author (who once only wrote fanfiction, but who is now branching into original fiction) and an aspiring artist!
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. I now hate Hazelfur and Forestleaf. Blackpelt deserves better! I bet Whitebelly would be ashamed with her parents for how they treated her mate and daughter.
I love this whole thing. The care, the dedication, and the thought you put into the characters, their stories, and their views are on clear display here. All of this art is magnificent and I can't wait to see more
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.

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
Is there a way to be notified when they restock?
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
will be there any other language of the book?? In German?? qwq... PLEASEE I ALSO WANNA READ IT

Oh man, I remember when the very first whiff of these characters and their stories came out back when I was in highschool. It's so cool to see how it's gone from a Warrior Cats AU, and into it's own thing
I'm so happy to see you back, Tennelle! You have no idea how much your clouded moon series has inspired me in my own little stories. I remember watching your first video of the series over Spottedshadow, and continued watching from there. All your characters, their backstories, dreams, goals, everything has always motivated me when creating my own characters especially when it came to drawing cats funny enough. I'm so happy to see how far you and your team have gone to this point. I am so excited and will most definitely order that book in support of you and your team over this phenomenal story you guys have created. I do hope you are feeling good, no rush or anything with any upcoming videos. We all value your health and will be excited of seeing your next video at any time no matter how long. Take care Tennelle, and keep up the good work! ^w^
Next thing you know in a few years Clouded moon will become a video game.❤ All the best!
I was so shook when I saw this on my fyp! I’M SO EXCITED! We ARE so back
I missed this series and shifting roots content from you so much! I’m so happy you’re back!
Oh my gosh, I am SO happy you're back, I was looking forward to your next video!! Your art has improved so much, and I absolutely adore the drawings you do for the colonies. They have inspired me so much in my own artwork, and I'm glad to see you coming back!! I'm also ecstatic that Clouded Moon is back, I love the story. So glad to see you back, and I hope that anyone involved in the story is sure to keep themselves healthy and happy!!
I pre-ordered the book last night through the amazon app as my older sis let me get it as a christmas present and im so happy she let me its my very first pre order I've ever gotten:)
Cant wait to read it!!!!
I loved your content so much, tennelle. Keep up the good work!
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. You were the first creator to help me realise my own identity and the first who inspired me to start posting my own work. Im over the Clouded Moon to see you back and I'm glad to hear your doing well!
As someone who has constantly struggled with health shit for years I'm glad you were able to take a break and help yourself heal enough before returning. Your Fandom missed you!
I love how this series has grown. If the pre-order bundle gets restocked I just might splurge a little bit and get one. Good to see you back, Tennelle!
Eeeek Dawn and Spotty canon!? Amicable exes?? That is so sweet for them 🥺
WELCOME BACK TENNELLE WE ALLL MISSSED UUU❤❤
I’m no longer an avid warriors/ animal book fan but Shifting roots has a special place in my heart and also being an Avalon fan I can’t wait to read their latest work!!!
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!
WE BACK hell yeah!!!! i was obsessed with your videos in 4th-ish grade, and when clouded moon rebranded i rebranded my own warriors oc story but in a way more boring way lol.
also can i just mention how the height chart serves its purpose as a height chart but is also like!!! a scene
Welcome back!!
I do mourn that I can't partake of the goodies (as an international literally on the other side of the world), but swiping that bad boy on Amazon.
I’m so happy to see you back Tennelle! I watched your videos when I first got into reading the warriors books and when I was discovering my identity.You played such a big part in that with your content 😋‼️
KYYYAAAAAAAA!!!! THE RETURN OF TENNELLE AND CLOUDED MOON
i cant believe its been almost 6 years since the first field colony video...
Omg I used to be obsessed with your drawing a blank show and I literally haven’t watched you in years!! I’m so happy to see you come so far, you really inspired my art style/dedication to the craft! Good luck with your project!
WELCOME BACK! I missed your vids!
*CRYING IN EUROPE*
Also, we ALL missed you so much😭♥️✨️
I remember watching and rewatching the original Field colony art stream over and over again when it came out, welcome back!
YOU’RE BACK!! I’m so glad you’re doing better!!! You’ve been a huge inspiration for a long time and it’s so cool to have you back on here :D
It's so good to see you post again! Love the video. I can't wait to be able to read this book. ♥
I missed you so much!! You were the reason I started to draw!!!!! You were the first person I heard about who was trans and you helped me discover myself!! I’m so happy to watch a drawing a blank!!
27:31 i was 100000% sure you were gonna say glorious evolution
Pfff- 💀
EEEK YAY!!! i was having so much fun following the tumblr to keep up while you weren’t making the content about the cats, it was so fun. you really carried my childhood :3
i've been watching your channel since i was in middle school (2016)! and being an adult and seeing you return is the most amazing news! take it easy, and i'm looking forward to all your projects!
I'M HAPPY TO SEE YOU MAKING A COME BACK TENNELLE! I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS!
So, I just wanted to share my journey since I've been a fan of yours!
Time is a strange thing. Found you when I was just an LGBT egg, realizing I wasn't quite straight/cis. I know I'm demiromantic but I'm debating on my gender. I thought I was Nonbinary, but I started using they/them, she/her and he/him pronouns recently. So maybe I'm actually gender fluid? I don't know yet, but maybe I'll figure it out one day while falling deeper in love with this project as it develops!
Anyways- I cannot wait to read this story! I've been a fan since I found you through your Drawing A BLANK series, and then I saw Clouded Moon and got hooked with it when it when it was still Warriors with Windclan, Thunderclan, Shadowclan, and Riverclan.
I fell in love with Spottedshadow, Wildfur, Dawnfrost, and Peach right away. They're so far my favorites in the line up you have!
Funfact time!
I was actually starting my own Warrior Cat like adjacent story a few years ago. But in a similar concept to different books based on different animals like in the Bravelands Brand that were written by former people under the Erin Hunter pseudonym.
My brand is Beyond The Wilds Working Title, subject to change
There will be different animals featured in my Beyond The Wild Series, not just cats, but dogs too, and dinosaurs, rabbits, lemurs, and so in and so forth
Anyway I had my own idea for a cat related series within it called: The Call Of The Colony.
So I have cat colonies too. But mine are named like this:
Example, not a name for any of the Colonies I have - Colony Of Crimson Carnations.
So, like instead of how your colony names are structured like: River Colony mine are structured like Colony of ______.
I started this project back in 2018/ 2019 ish. But I haven't made much progress with it, since I am only one person and have chronic physical and mental health issues.
I was honestly so scared to even continue The Call Of the Colony after the lore changes you all made for your story. Scared that some people might accuse me of copying the Colony bit. But then I realized that I do have receipts that prove I did not in fact do that. So, I am no longer afraid to continue Call Of The Colony.
And if people still want to believe I copied? Then that is on them and not me. Besides my story has different ranks, specialized ranks unique to the Colony, a different belief system, different naming system, and they live on a large island out in the middle of the Ocean 🌊
So, my Colonies are vastly different in structure, beliefs, and setting to your colonies. I decided to just run with it, and not let fear stop me from creating my Warriors Adjacent story!
I just wanted to say that you and your team have been an amazing inspiration to me and are the ones that helped me get over my initial fear. I wanted to scrap Call Of The Colony altogether after your team's lore changes, because I was paralyzed with paranoia over being accused of being a, well- copycat haha 😅.
But then I realized that I just needed to get over that and tell my story despite my fear. Because the truth of the matter is, sometimes people will have similar ideas, and that's okay. Someone would be hard pressed to come up with anything 100% original anyways. Also, I kind of realized that by making Call Of The Colony I would be accused of copying Warrior Cats anyways, so really, I just need to run with my story and have a "why should I worry, why should I care!" attitude and just do what makes me happy.
I guess what I mean to say is, thank you, Tennelle and all the people that are working on this story and have contributed to it. You've helped me find my lost spark of inspiration and I cannot wait to see where this story goes, nor can I wait to start getting Call Of The Colony back in business.
Here's to the future! May Clouded Moon find much success and Tennelle - may you recover as much as you can! 🎉🎉🎉
I missed this channel so much! I’ve watched you since I was a kid and I especially loved to rewatch your Clan lineup videos. I’m so excited to see them updated and remade and im so glad to see you back; can’t wait to watch this when I have time!
I audibly gasped when I saw this in my recommended, welcome back Tenenelle!!!!
YES! CLOUDED MOON UPDATE!!! Thank you for feeding us again! I hope your doing better ❤
WE STAY WINNINGGGGG
ARE YOU KIDDING IM SO EXCITED! I still remember when shifting roots came out- I was obsessed! Can't wait :D
this is so awesome to see. i remember watching the first speedpaints years ago and thinking "wow, what a cool story! i wonder where it will go?" and now we get to actually see it happen! i'm very excited. :)
Aw sad to see the physical books are already sold out, but I’m glad people are still really interested in the series! Can’t wait for more!
Yayy Yippee welcome back! Cheers to your good health and can't wait to read the books :D
Omg I can't believe you're back!!! You've been my biggest inspiration since I was 15, and I just turned 21!
I love how your art looks in this so much! Every cat looks so buff its crazy!!! And I love the details on the older cats, like some of the elders look slightly mangy. Love the added realism!
I can't wait to read the book when it comes out!! I've been following this series for so long, and these cats hold such a special place in my heart. It's exciting to see how far it's all come!
Goshhhh I missed Shifting Roots. We’re all rooting for ya Tennelle!
no way i've been around for ages and i'm so happy we get to see the folks again,,, we got drawing a blank chat!! this is so exciting
WELCOME BAAAAAAACK
WERE SO BACK. Honest to God's i missed this big doof, and im really excited to hear about the new lore. It actually inspired a few things in my own custom clans, not much but just a couple things and frankly seeing this new lore could totally make warrior cats canon series really interesting had it ever been rewritten to fit this lore
Drawing a blank AND Shifting roots are back?! fuck yeah! missed ya tennelle :)
OH MY GOSH IM SO READY!!! I remember falling in love with this series all those years ago. You inspired me so much with your art, and influenced my style a lot! Just rediscovering you now, so thanks for everything! Can’t wait for the book!
Happy to see an update I was worried it was a dripped project
Its really lovely to hear you drawing and talking on TH-cam again! I'm pretty sure you've been easing back into other things as well but this is the first video here in a long while so it seemed like a good place to say 'welcome back!'
This project getting a physical book is wonderful news and wish the whole team the best!!
I cannot explain how excited I was to see you on my recommended 😭 Your videos were always my go-to to watch after school when I was younger. It’s great to see you back and I wish you a speedy recovery!❤️🐓
lETS GOOOO YOURE BACK IM SO HAPPY WE ALL MISSED YALL
I am so happy to see you back you inspired me to draw when I was little and that’s saying a lot I always would give up after drawing once I saw how bad I was compared to others but you made that feel okay I’m forever grateful for how you’ve helped me and the little girl who used to barley be able to even get started
I REMEMBER WHEN YA'LL FIRST STARTED THIS, IM SO HAPPY TO SEE ITS STILL GOING!
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❤
SO HYPED!!! Glad to see you back
I know I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to say that I'm so excited to see these characters again! Your artwork is amazing, and the personalities you've come up with for all these characters is super impressive. It's inspiring to me as an aspiring author (who once only wrote fanfiction, but who is now branching into original fiction) and an aspiring artist!
TENNELLE IS BACK, EVERYONE!!!
Oh my god how I've missed you! You improved so much!! Welcome back!

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.
I now hate Hazelfur and Forestleaf.
Blackpelt deserves better!
I bet Whitebelly would be ashamed with her parents for how they treated her mate and daughter.
Blackpelt, not Blackfur.
@
Right, forgot.
WELCOME BACK TENNELLE!! I missed you and your characters so so much this is such WONDERFUL news, I’m really happy for you and your team
Please let us know as soon as they are available! Been watching for years and so excited to see you back!
So glad to see you back! Much love!
YOUR BACK YEAYYYY
Also your art style has improved amazingly!!!
I love this whole thing.
The care, the dedication, and the thought you put into the characters, their stories, and their views are on clear display here.
All of this art is magnificent and I can't wait to see more
