so..... hypothetically........ if i wanted to make a game on scratch where you chat with aphidclan character, and its like.... just a click and talk game...... would you allow that? i would give complete credit for everything, the only thing that would be mine would be the art and coding! but all else goes to you! would that???? be okay??? I wanna do this sooosososososo badly..... but i'll only do it if i get your clear permission!!! idk if this falls under fanart/fanwork? its totally okay if not!! and if yes...... I will sob, loudly /pos<333333

Yes you have my permission! Go have fun and definitely send me the game whenever you’re done! ^^

Nimblekit: I just scream a lot... I just, scream... a lot

-

Goldshine: With all due respect, which is none,

Sparkspeckle: You know how someone can say “I respectfully disagree”? What about “I disrespectfully agree” for when you hate someone but they are unfortunately correct.

-

Shadebreak: I am always up for potential rule breaking.

-

Goldshine: Don’t be afraid to make a fool of yourself, I do it regularly.

Gravel: Aren’t you like 5’2?

Firebeetle: I self identify as tall.

Pearlstar: Every day my joints are shocked and disgusted that I would use them for their intended purpose.

-

Sparkspeckle: You can never lose an argument if you say “shut up nerd” at the end.

Icesheep: Yes you can.

Sparkspeckle: Shut up nerd.

-

Goldshine: In my defense, your honor, I simply do not care enough.

-

Nimblekit: Your honor, in my defense, who cares like omfgggggggg who cares????????? Like come onnn.

Skykit: Are you a girl or a boy?

Shadebreak: Uhh, well some people aren’t girls or boys!

Skykit: Wow, just like snails...

Shadebreak: ???

Straight Man: Hey

Titania: That’s enough.

Lilacpaw: I respect perfume commercials being like, we can’t show you a smell, mind if we just go insane for 30 seconds?

Gravel: I wish they sold offbrand cars, get me a damn honder.

Firebeetle: Pulling up in the revolver.

Shadebreak: When two buses pass each other and the bus drivers don’t wave at each other, like omg... did you guys break up...

Goldshine: Pipe down your honor, you weren’t even there.

-

Goldshine: JFK?? Like from umbrella academy?? Haha... you know he’s not... real, right?

AphidClan Family Trees

(last updated: moon 20)

[aphidclan-clangen]

been trying out a new style, so i decided to practice with shadebreak!!! ( @aphidclan-clangen )

[aphidclan-clangen]

i do not know. it just happens

(also yes most of the time it’s based on their sprite)

so what's your process for designing characters?

Man people keep asking me how do I design characters, how do I make characters, how do you pick characters genders, etc. and I feel SO bad because I!! There is no process!! Especially with designing AphidClan characters in particular, my process is EXTREMELY wild and intuitive and spontaneous and very “just wing it first try it’ll be fine. I totally won’t hate it 3 months later ((I will and I do))”

I. I don’t know how to explain it. Like. Alder for example, I knew Lilacpaw was this kind of pinkish purple with an orange gradient, so I wanted her dad to be pinkish purple and her mom to have the orange gradient, so when it came time to design him, I jus. made him purple. and that’s all he is there isn’t any thought put into this, this is a. Random, not professional at all, “I made a quick concept sketch as my first and only attempt, he came out purple, that’s all he is, just purple” and “I got it first try” bullshit, and everything else about his design happened because. it felt right, and I never questioned that, so now hes. alder. he exists now. “how did you make him?” i don’t know but he sure as hell is here now

That’s how I make literally all of my character designs and decisions, especially since this is just a Warrior cats blog that I do as a fun “low-effort” hobby. I had a single idea of “rainbow,,,” it felt right, I never questioned it, it happened, I made a single quick sketch of concept art as prep to solidify what already existed in my brain, and now it exists, and then 4 months and 10 updates later I become deeply unhappy with the design and I try all over again lol. It’s extremely extremely intuitive for me, it’s all just feeling. I don’t really follow any professional tips or legitimate art techniques, I don’t really make concept art, half of the time the characters first appearance in a moon update or ask response is literally the first time I’ve ever drawn them, as you can tell from the Fire/Gravel kids and their extensive “gradually redesign them piece by piece over each moon until I decide I hate all of it and start over entirely” process which is NOT something I’d recommend for a webcomic or any legitimate art project you want to take seriously or professionally!! I don’t really. have a process, I just start drawing the moon update and they appear lolol

Ik Blisswhistle's kits have been here a while, but is Badgerkit paralyzed? Or are they just in the middle of crawling or something

It’s just the pose lol, she’s trying to crawl

[aphidclan-clangen]

Super low quality but Alder, Pigeon, and Titania’s sprites!

[aphidclan-clangen]

What are alder and his(?) mate’s pronouns? Will we ever get a ref sheet (I love Pigeon’s mustache and they’re all so cute!<3)

1. Alder’s pronouns are he/they, Pigeon’s pronouns are he/him, and Titania’s pronouns are she/her!

2. probably eventually. I’ll get to it someday lmao, my adhd is allergic to the backlog of character ref sheets I need to draw

[aphidclan-clangen]

Just to confirm regarding Q&A asks, but do the cats who are questioned have to appear in the moon updates themselves?

They can appear anywhere!! Moon updates, other main updates, asks, bonus art (though if I have something specific planned for their reveal I might not let them answer, like for example mysterious ginger guy isn’t gonna be answering any asks directed towards them until they’re revealed in a moon update cuz I have smth planned for them)

[aphidclan-clangen]

HELLO ALL!!!

it’s me, barry! I’m not dead yet! Since i’ve been a little inactive, I decided that I wanted to do this little challenge.

First 6 reblogs (along with a reference sheet of a character) will get their clangen cat drawn! hooray!!

Thank you to all MBC supporters for your patience!

[aphidclan-clangen]

omg waittt, can I ask the kittypet that gave us lilacpaw? if so :

how many kits do you have? what are their names? what's YOUR name?? can we meet your partner? your very silly!!!!

[aphidclan-clangen]

Lil headcanon:

Bliss got rainbow toe beans, inherited from Pearlstar.

hell yea man I love when toe beans rainbow

[aphidclan-clangen]

this isnt a question but i discovered your blog this morning and im OBSESSED. Your cats are so colorful and their stories are so interesting and ive been thinking about them all afternoon (instead of school work lmao)

youve inspired me to try to start my own clangen blog soon! It'll certainly be a challenge because i have no experience drawing cats, but i'll learn!

cant wait to see where the story of Aphidcaln goes!

Thank you so much!! :D I’m so happy I inspired you!! Clangen can be SO much fun
