StarClan Graphics: Enter

.:Welcome:.

Welcome to StarClan! You are here for one of the three reasons:
1)You are dead
2)You are a leader or medicine cat
3)You are searching for the best Warriors graphics on the web

There is also, of course, the option that you came here by accident, in which case I suggest you leave immediately, for if you stay, I may have to unleash this mouse who will poke you until you flee. But, if you have come here because of one of the reasons I've listed, then you are very welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay in Silverpelt.

Oh my, I forgot to introduce myself! I am Sandstar, leader of StarClan! For those who are wondering, I am still thinking of the new layout, but hopefully it'll be up before long.
Anyhoo, take a look around...and if you're not familiar with the 'Userlookups' or 'Guild Layouts' then you are probably not familiar with Neopets, and I suggest you ignore them OR join Neopets.

If you have another site, care to link back? It would be greatly appreciated!

If you just want ordinary cat graphics, than Cat Stuff Graphics is by far the greatest place to go. Seriously! You should check it out!

In case you haven't looked at the front of StarClan Graphics, we have moved. The new URL is http://www.freewebs.com/starclansecrets/. (That is also why the colours of the shoutbox have changed...to match the layout of StarClan Secrets.) Some of the pages on StarClan Graphics don't work in Internet Explorer, but you can still access them here. (I think it's only the blog page and the Warriors Roleplay, but I'm not sure.)

Thanks Minty for awarding StarClan Graphics as StarClan's Mercy's May Site of the Month! Here is the lovely pic she made:

Also, if you're wondering why once more I haven't updated in ages, it's because I'm working on StarClan Secrets, StarClan Graphics' new home which will be open shortly.

.:May 09, 2006:.
Twilight cover released! Personally, I don't like the picture in the box very much. It looks a bit...deformed...lol. Anyways, hopefully it's Crowfeather!
Ps. Very short entry...just though I'd mention the new pic!

.:May 04, 2006:.
A new page has been added...this time it's Neopets avatar fonts and signatures. Go to http://www.freewebs.com/starclangraphics/fonts.htm to view them.

Alright, I lied. I did the userlookups before everything else. xD I couldn't help myself...they're just so much fun to make! So a new style of lookup has entered StarClan Graphics...so mysterious...
Okay, I'll stop now. Right now there's only Into the Wild, but soon there'll be more.
Ps. They're in a similar style as the one I have right now...

.:April 28, 2006:.
As usual, I've been incredibly lazy and haven't updated in ages. But coming soon is more backgrounds, more blogs, a new layout, pet lookups and...pixels! (And possibly other graphics...especially userlookups...I like userlookups xD)
Be sure to check out the interview with Kate, Cherith and Vicky! Click here for part one and here for part two. They include some spoilers, so if you haven't read all the Warriors books so far, you might not want to read the interviews JUST yet. But eventually, you should! They include info on the next series which will be called The Power of Three and info on the special edition book that will be called Firestar's Quest.

We now have a logos section! Take a look at them here. Also, I read Starlight! My, that book is awesome. =P

.:April 06, 2006:.
Well Starlight is now out and I still haven't gotten it yet. :( Oh well, when I get it I'll read it in a day and then have to wait for several months before Twilight comes out. This way the suspense is kept up. =P
Eventually there will be a new layout along with a Tutorials section and we may be moved to another url; StarClan Graphics is now no longer just a graphics site. The Userlookup tutorial should be along soon, and someday I'll make a general html/css tutorial as well.
Anyway, I hope you're enjoying the lovely April weather; where I live we've been having some nice thunderstorms, and then the plants will grow and then it will snow and then the plants will all die. xD

.:March 27, 2006:.
*Gasp* I found it! The wonderful banner made by bonus.com... They used to advertise Warriors at bonus.com with this banner, but I don't think they do anymore...anyway, I found it at the bottom of my photobucket account. Click here to view.

I'm very sorry for the lack of updates; I've been lazy and my teachers are loading me with homework again. But don't worry, I'll start adding more stuff soon. Especially blogs... I like blogs...xD...Anyway, the REAL reason for writing this entry is to give you all sneak peak of Starlight...Voila, an excerpt from Starlight which will be on sale April 4. WARNING! TEXT MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!

Brambleclaw swallowed uncomfortably, wondering where to start. He couldn’t say that choosing a new home was not all he had hoped for. In spite of Midnight’s directions, the dying warrior, the starlight reflected in the lake, he didn’t feel as if the Clans truly belonged in this territory. It was too easy to imagine Twoleg monsters tearing through the woods, turning the ground to mud and shattering the walls of the stone hollow until the newly built ThunderClan dens were exposed to the sky, and every cat was as helpless as a newborn kit. . . .

But that wasn’t what the Clans wanted to hear, and none of the other cats on the patrol had seemed to doubt that this was where they belonged now. They could be right, Brambleclaw told himself firmly. They had proved that the Clans could live here; what more could he expect?

“It’s good news,” he began, taking a deep breath. “We have found territories that are suitable for all the Clans -- reeds and water for RiverClan, pine forest for ShadowClan, leafy woods for ThunderClan, and moorland for WindClan.”

As murmurs of excitement broke out, Leopardstar called. “What about prey?” “There seems to be plenty,” Brambleclaw replied, “given that it’s leaf-bare. We didn’t go hungry, that’s for sure.”

“And Twolegs?” queried another cat -- Brambleclaw thought it was a ShadowClan warrior, but he couldn’t be sure.

“We saw some evidence that they visit places around the lake, but there are none there now,” he meowed. “Mistyfoot thinks there’ll be more of them around in greenleaf. That’s when they used to bring their kits to swim in the river, back in the forest.” He noticed several of the cats glance anxiously at each other, and felt the familiar tremor of fear at the thought of what Twolegs had brought to the forest, apart from their kits. He was relieved when Mistyfoot added, “We’ll be able to keep out of their way. They won’t be a big problem.”

“Well . . . that’s all.” Brambleclaw wasn’t sure what else to say. “Maybe each of us should tell our own Clans what we saw in more detail.”

“We need to decide where the boundaries will be,” Blackstar growled.

“Right,” meowed Firestar from where he was sitting at the base of the stump, next to Leopardstar. “We can do that when we have a clearer idea of each territory. Thanks, Brambleclaw.”

Brambleclaw dipped his head gratefully at his leader; he may have led his friends to sun-drown-place and back again, and explored the territory around the lake, but he felt as helpless as a kit among the other Clan leaders. His fur prickled, and he noticed Hawkfrost staring at him from the edge of the cats seated around the stump. Twitching his ears uncomfortably, Brambleclaw jumped down. He winced as Hawkfrost came over to meet him and braced himself for a hostile comment, perhaps a challenge about where the new boundaries should be.

To his surprise, there was a friendly gleam in the RiverClan warrior’s blue eyes.

“Thanks for finding the new territories, Brambleclaw,” he meowed. “I’m almost sorry that we’ll be going our separate ways now. I’d have liked to hunt with you.”

Brambleclaw blinked. Warriors of different Clans could not hunt together -- but that wasn’t the real reason Hawkfrost’s suggestion startled him. Did the RiverClan warrior feel something like kinship with him? If he and Hawkfrost had been members of the same Clan, might they have been friends like Firestar and Graystripe, who had risked their lives for each other countless times?

“Well, we’ll meet at Gatherings,” he began. “Brambleclaw, what are you doing?” Squirrelflight padded up with a glare at Hawkfrost. “Firestar is waiting for us.”

“Of course. And Leopardstar will be waiting for me.” Hawkfrost dipped his head in farewell and padded away.

“Why are you talking to him?” Squirrelflight demanded crossly when Hawkfrost was out of earshot. “You know he can’t be trusted.”

“I don’t know anything of the kind,” Brambleclaw retorted.

Squirrelflight snorted. “Yeah, right. That cat has too much ambition for his own good.”

Brambleclaw felt his neck fur start to rise. “Really?”

“He wishes Mistyfoot had never come back, so that he could still be deputy. I’ve heard him arguing with her more than once.”

“He wants the best for his Clan, that’s all,” Brambleclaw meowed. There was something in him that understood exactly how Hawkfrost must have felt when Mistyfoot had escaped from the Twolegs, and claimed back her place as RiverClan deputy.

“That’s not all.” Squirrelflight paused, flicking her tail-tip back and forth. “I can tell Leafpaw doesn’t trust Hawkfrost, and she knows him better than we do. She was in the forest while he was RiverClan deputy.”

“Have you asked her why she feels that way?”

Squirrelflight shook her head. “I don’t need to ask her. I just know how she feels.”

Brambleclaw narrowed his eyes. “So you don’t have anything against Hawkfrost except for what Leafpaw feels about him? Because she’s your sister, right? Well, Hawkfrost is my brother.”

“Are you telling me you feel loyal to him because of that?” Squirrelflight exclaimed. “But you hardly know him!”

“Neither do you. But you think you know him well enough to say he can’t be trusted.” Brambleclaw unsheathed his claws and let them sink into the fallen leaves. “Or are you accusing him because of who his father was?”

Squirrelflight’s green eyes stretched wide. “If that’s what you think, then you don’t know me at all!” she hissed. She whirled around and stalked away with her tail in the air.

Brambleclaw stared after her in dismay. He and Squirrelflight had quarreled ever since she became an apprentice. But he had never expected to hear such cold dislike in her voice.

Icy claws pricked down Brambleclaw’s spine. If Squirrelflight distrusted Hawkfrost because of who his father was, did that mean she didn’t trust him?
