My first post on here, hello all! :'D I've been drawing my Redwall characters since I got into the series. Since reading the books, I gradually began to grow a story, past all those in the books, where a young mouse girl, Iilda, discovers an abandoned wildcat babe outside of the gates of the Abbey, and the things that develop from there. I definitely took inspiration from Outcast of Redwall, but this story ends significantly happier.
So, starting with the art!

As of the last few days I finally did make an attempt to do an actual comic. This is the only page fully sketched out so far, please excuse my god-awful messy writing. Also, since it comes up rather small on here, just copy the link image, paste it into the URL bar and you should see it all fine!

The only picture I have of any of the characters that's actually coloured, tho it's not even in my usual style. Takes place during the millionth battle to take place on the Redwall grounds; Iilda watches in horror as her adopted son, now grown, appears to have been struck down.
I will add more eventually. c: I just gotta get on actually fully colouring in some stuff (my avatar, btw, was made by a lovely person on another sight a few years back).
Awesome! Would really love to see that story fleshed out!
Also, welcome to the forum!

Thank you, and thank you again! :'D I've had everything I wanted in the story in my head for years, just hadn't put it to paper yet.
How long have you been around the series?
I've known about the series since I was a kid (watched the show and my brother had all the books), but never actually read the books until 2014.
Woah.
You are goooood.
No problem.
I usually don't like hair on Redwall characters, but you do it right. ;D
I getcha, when I was first designing everyone, I wasn't too sure of whether to add hair or not. But I like how the hair on everyone turned out!
CUTE ART CUTE CHARACTERS

Welcome to the forum!! I'm guessing from your thread title that you'd like to be called Mai?
THANK YOU 8D
I'm glad to be here! And yus, that's my nickname. :D
A post to show off a few quick pieces with the wildcat who was found outside of the gates of Redwall. Despite him being a technical 'vermin', Iilda made it her goal to raise the babe the best she could. They soon found out that the infant apparently already had a name, as attached to the basket he was in was a small piece of parchment that simply said 'Koby'.

Here is an elderly Iilda gushing over how dang proud she is of her giant cat son. Said cat son is appreciative of the support, but can't help but be a mite embarrassed.
Spoiler
(http://i68.tinypic.com/2k081.jpg)
Per the course of any Redwall tale, a hare eventually shows up. But, to the surprise of all in the Abbey, Hilia the Wandering Hare decided to make Redwall her permanent home after becoming smitten with Iilda and her adopted son. Within no time she became Koby's second guardian.
Nice.
The old version of Iilda reminds me of my first grade teacher.
hi have i mentioned how cute they are yet??
@Ashleg Happy old tiny lady teachers are the best teachers. c':
@Aimless Gallivanter Yus you did, and thank you again!
Yes they are.
I like the idea of a wildcat raised by Redwallers. :D
Cute and interesting style you have here. :)
Do you have a DA?
@MeadowRabbit Thank you! It was a friend of mine that came up with the idea of the baby being a wildcat.
And yus I do have a DA, tho I don't have any of my Redwall stuff up there yet.
Here's my drawing one - https://starcampanella.deviantart.com/
Totally following your DA. I would love to see more works by you~
*bangs my fists on the table*

WOW its been a hot moment since i've been here. been wanting to do more redwall art again and share it here, dunno if this site is still all that active tho!

Nice art! I always did like anthro.

Thank you! Tbh like 99% of my art is just anthro/animals <:
Nice!

pls remember to swaddle your wildcat babies.
And thank you
@Tungro!
That remind me of Bryony and Veil
Like I said in my OP, definitely got inspiration from Outcast of Redwall, as it was one of my favourites to read! <: Although unlike Veil, little Koby (the wildcat bab) grows up pretty proper, defying the typical ~vermin~ lineage as his loyalty is strongly held with Redwall. ;)

Wildcats seems to be the common exception (Gingivere and possibly one from High Rulain)
One from High Rhulian??? Who,
@Tungro?
There is only one true wildcat in High Rhulain... ME!!!! (Just kidding, it was Riggu Felis.)
And his sons don't count because they arent wildcats, or grey caracters.

Probably means Jeefra. Though I'm not sure a lack of confidence translates to being kind and moral.
But tbh I don't remember it that well, so he could've been kind of a grey character?
time for my yearly art dump!! The last year has been just me struggling to find a style I'm fairly fond of, and as of late I believe I finally found it. So here's a doodle dump! :D

Nice work! Your drawings have an overall look of cuteness to them, like a kids cartoon. Cool!

Thank you!! :'D Just need hours upon hours of practice!
Yeah...I'm still working on it...
I like the kind of "bubbly", lighthearted style you have.
Awesome stuff! I especially love that mole.
@lass of something much that's all you can do, really! takes a ton of work but it can pay off in the end <:
@The Skarzs that's honestly a really good description of how I want my art to look, so thank you!!
@Russa Nodrey thank you, moles are some of my favourites to draw! If you havent yet you should see how they look in the cookbook, they're so small and cute
Yes! I really like the illustrations in the cookbook and A Redwall Winter's Tale.
Amazing art, Mai, friend. You have great talent.
@Russa Nodrey oh dang I've never heard of the other book, so thank you for that! :'D The art in the picture books are 100% inspiration, I like to look at the cookbook while I'm drawing the characters.
@shisteer of nothing much thank you so much!! Redwall is the smallest fandom I'm in by a long shot but I'm gonna try to keep up the art for it <:
coming to u live with the redwall memes

XD that's great! can I re-post it on discord?
Thanks! they use that meme ALL the time, so it'll be even more funny for them!
I'm clearly younger and more innocent than my little sister, since I have never heard of that meme, but it's still great art. Well done.

@shisteer of nothing much its been scattered around the internet, but I don't personally see it as much :'D Thank you!
@The Skarzs sorry man :(
do you draw with ink pens? your art sorta has that look about it..

oof late reply but the last few posts here were done with regular ol pencils! although i plan to do some actually coloured traditional redwall art, which will be inked with pens, and then done with either watercolours or copics <:
You make very cute art, Mai.

thank you so much! :') that is definitely the vibe im going for
These are great!
@Sebias of Redwall thank you!!!
aaand here's another quickie of Iilda, I like to draw just her every now and then to get a feel of how my art style has been changing :) i can't do digital art outside of work as much as i used to because eye strain has been kicking my bum since february, but every now and then its very nice to get back to the easier medium lol
(https://imgur.com/gS5EHuV.png)
Awwwww!!!! How in arda do you make everything so cute!!!!!! :laugh:
That is adorable! She's looks like she has some interesting thoughts going through her head.
Ooh! Nice! I like how you drew her nose.
@lass of something much its just what I like to do <': tho I am very jealous of the folks who draw serious, epic pieces (especially redwall ones)
@shisteer of nothing much I'm sure shes thinking about their book inventory (;
@Sebias of Redwall thank you once again! Idk why but snouts are just one of my favourite things to draw 👌
*poses* hello all its been a few months
ive been getting closer and closer to when i want to make a proper lil webtoon, and there's three stories that are battling within my skull for the right to be the first one made, and my redwall one is among the roster!
so pls enjoy this short comic i made, about the first meeting of two of the main characters! apologies for the white border around some, i imported some of the instagram fit versions over rather than the original panel :'>

Sweet! Great strong colours there for an eye-catching piece. Also like the character expressions on the previous page. :D
A couple months later, thanks for all the lovely replies!
I've been busy with other oc work, but I did this piece today with some musical ocs that showcases Arya and Koby
