THANK YALL FOR 300 FOLLOWERS!!!!

This was so fun and I believe I ended up drawing 35 (!!) people’s kitties! Seriously, the clangen community is so awesome and I’m honored to be a part of it :3

Look for Moon 48 on June 2!

This is part 1 because Tumblr hates me and has a 30 image limit... |Part 2|

(individual images and tags under the cut)

Burnstar from @taurclan! She is a very interesting character to me, I love the way he speaks. I'm very excited to see what is going on with Taurclan in general going forward! Such a cool idea.

Cloudrunner from @leohnoz! Such a cute design AHHHH Cloud is so sassy and I love how much expression is in the pose of the ref you sent! Gorgeous colors on this kitty too <3

Ashenpaw from @sootclan! This little guy is so nervous i wanna like. Put a weighted blanket over him. Giving squirrel vibes if you catch my drift /pos. His markings are so distinct and strong, I love how they all layer on top of each other!

Shadebreak from @aphidclan-clangen! Hey Beau you made the most gorgeous little emo kitty <3 and the fact that they are the nonbinary flag is the best. My fave part of their design is probably their little rockstar neck ruff!

Husk from @shelter-clangen! I love this character type, he is abrasive and loud just like me and his little hooves are delightful. I love how you write him as well, I hope no one eats him <3 (oh god)

Sunwillow from @pomegranateclan-gen! First off, I'm so sorry you lost your notes and I really hope you are able to continue your comic (or start a new one)! Sunwillow and Brownwhisper's relationship is so interesting to me, Sun is so calm but in a mysterious and slightly shady way that really made me invested in where he was headed.

Lavenderheart from @amazonsclan! Lav finding the forget-me-nots was heartbreaking oml, and I love the ghosts and pale ginger tortie colors so much. Huge respect to you for doing this comic in two languages as well, so awesome!

Batpaw from @dreamclan-clan-gen! YAHHHH BATPAW!! I saw him come to be in the CCC server and he is such a little meow meow. The fact that he doesn't even have a good reason to send them through the sparkle falls besides making them sparklecats (and maybe tying them to Starclan i guess) is so funny. What a guy <3

Curlbird from @fluttercats-clangen-yippee! Pink and blue are some of my favorite colors and these specific shades even more so. I love Curlbird and her, ah, troublesome nature. Plus her (I assume) tortie pattern is so cute!! Ahhhh I wanted to draw like all of the fluttercats Yuno, your designs are just so adorable.

Hazmat by @copilotpikachu! Yesss I got so many sparklecats I'm so happy. I love how blinding Hazmat is in the groupshot, everybody be paying attention to them. The neon colors actually work so well together <3

Sunpaw from @elementaldeityoffood! Can't wait to see your comic when you make one, this little guy looks so sweet! Hopefully he recovers from his shock soon, I assume if he's having a rough time with that that you did some sort of limited-founders challenge? Anyway, I love me a little orange guy!

Wisteriastar from @flickerclan-blog! OHHH MY SHAYLAAA she is so young and so brave! I'm worried about those shadow cats they ran into but I believe in them they can totally handle it. I like the black on black with the purple eyes (ik you said they are your fave), it is very striking!

Sheeppaw from @plush0fairy! I squealed when I saw this design sheet and sent it to all my friends, I'm obsessed with Sheeppaw's scrunkliness /pos. The ears are a very satisfying shade and her curly gray whiskers were so fun to draw :3

Morel from @clangen-pantheon! Oh my god Morel is so fucked uppppp like literally. He is such an interesting character, I think the way you tied in some pretty wack rng to make a haunting and compelling story is masterful. I also love how self-assured he is that he is doing the right thing, being the patron of both sacrifice and poison is a great dichotomy.

Pinefrost from @owlfangdraws! Your blorbo has such an aesthetically pleasing design and the little heart on the cheek is just so darling. I like the asymmetry on the face and the intensity of the dark markings especially!

Emeraldstar from @as-the-raven-cries-wolf! He is my kinda fucked up little guy :3 His design is so so awesome, I already love the ghost pelt and the wind markings on his back in addition to his incredibly piercing emerald eyes? Perfection. I also love how freakin' big he is, like dayum!

Fogpool from @cycloneclangen! Fopo beloved, he is the moment he is the slay. I really tried to capture just how luscious his coat is LOL everyone go look at Arty's comic if you don't believe me. I love this sassy guy I hope he gets clanmates soon <3

Attributes under the cut!

Minnowlake from @as-the-raven-cries-wolf! I love the freckles on this kitty :3 I also have a soft spot for warriors who are honored for things like their audacity or absurdity

Moonstar from @nimbusclan ! I love moons absolutely round shapes, they look so cuddly! Also dude I really hope your move is going well, and I can't wait to see you get back into NimbusClan!

Shiverpaw and Windfur from @forestclan-clangen ! I LOVE this duo let me tell yall. Such a complex mentor/apprentice relationship, plus windfur is my favourite character. I'm as hungry as the Woods to see where these two go!

Blizzardfawn and Hazelfog from @direclan ! Another duo I also love! I need to see more about blizzards thoughts regarding the whole hazels death situation, and it's really fun to see bliz shove hazel out of her dreams

Brightpaw from @rainy-wc ! I don't know too much about this character yet, but I can saw for sure that I love their design and I'm really interested where their whole "captured" storyline will go :33

And last but not least, Scalestar from @hillclan-ruins ! I needed to draw them just chilling because goddahm do they overwork themselves. Taking a breath of fresh air. I also love their relationship with Frostswirl. I hope my girl turns out ok ; ^;

Thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions!

RavenClan- Moon 15

First | Last | Next (TBD)

RavenClan will return when I have a backlog for it again!

[as-the-raven-cries-wolf]

You all are very helpful /hj

Genuinely though, thank you all for your input! I think what I’m gonna do is take a week, post the moon next week, and then see where I’m at. So, no moon this week, apologies.

So I have not been a very good comic creator. Should’ve anticipated this, what with my adhd and piles of wips, but I have run out of backlog. I do have one more page, so I could post tomorrow, but I don’t know when the next page would be after that.

Notably!!! I will probably be taking off for most of July anyway!!! I am an avid participant in ArtFight, so building up a queue again would mean that you get moons during July when you might not otherwise.

RavenClan Family Tree- Year 1

Read Moon 0 Here

just a little family tree featuring all the named characters so far (and some unnamed but mentioned). Hope y’all like it; this is gonna be messy eventually oop

[as-the-raven-cries-wolf]

My side of the panel swap with @aphidclan-clangen! Gravel has been my favorite ever since she and Firebeetle started interacting and getting to draw them meeting their kids was such a joy, genuinely. Some soft in exchange for the angst you gave me lol

Year One Allegiances

Read Moon 0 Here

Read the start of Year 2 Here

[as-the-raven-cries-wolf]

Round 2! I always learn so much doing these, definetely going to do it again at some point!

Flintpaw from @runeclangen: Flintpaw my beloved, I love your designs and I'm so intrigued where this story is going!

Inkyfern from @ranchclan: I was originally going to draw a different character but tripod Inky was calling to me

Charm from @clangenthetraveler: she's just a lil ball of fluff! So hard to translate into my style, I hope I did her justice!

Lakefrost from @a-song-upon-the-waves-wishclan: Best mother!!! Lakefrost and Frostswirl would be best friends I think

Shiverpaw from @forestclan-clangen: this poor girl, I want her to be happy and safe forever

Minnowlake from @as-the-raven-cries-wolf: the slicked back hair & the freckles, such a good design!

[as-the-raven-cries-wolf]

Aaa thank you so much again for this!! You did absolutely fantastic with them and I love what you did with the panels :)

Panel swap with @as-the-raven-cries-wolf ! Lots of fun getting to draw the emotions of this scene!

And that’s a wrap on year 1 folks! The next two weekly updates will not be moons, but rather some bonus content to give me time to build my buffer a bit again- moons SHOULD resume in a few weeks, and I’ll let y’all know if that changes!
