I'm literally almost done with the next moon but I've been procrastinating on it so long I'm sorryyyy, big things coming up soon though!!

Anyway I've really wanted to draw some asks and I was hoping this could get me back in the mood to draw lol, it might be way too early into the story to do this so I'll probably reblog it again at some point in the future

(Tysm Ranchclan for taking the time to make all this)

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

Sorry for not updating for a bit, I've been CRAZY busy but I'll most likely have another moon out this weekend, and if any asks come in I'll try to do those too since it'll be way less work than a full moon lol

Drawing Clangen cats as humans (part 1)

I keep going back and forth on whether I like this or not lol I did this with canon WACA characters on my main account , but to be honest I got kind of tired of that so I wanted to try some of my favorite Clangen blog characters!

Pinefrost and Grasskit belong to @fallenclan Sproutpatch belongs to @branchclangen And Sagospot belongs to @citrineclan

I took some slight liberties so they'd translate a little better to human designs, I love all these characters very much! Go check out the blogs they belong to, they're all awesome.

Moon 6-1

Previous | Next

This moon was a sort of big one so I split it up a little! Basically nothing happened in this first part but I just wanted to draw some cute goofy stuff lol

[flickerclan-blog]

Moon 5

Previous | Next

Nothing much really happened this moon lol. I <3 Bonepelt, she is definitely capable of rational thought and a perfectly reasonable future leader.

[flickerclan-blog]

Did something like this very recently but I wanted to do it again with your suggestions!

[flickerclan-blog]

Moon 4

Previous | Next Hehehe yayyy this is an exciting moon!!! Still messing with the artstyle but I'm decently happy with it for right now!

Asks are open for all characters!

[flickerclan-blog]

Welp the poll isn't closed yet but it looks like the people have spoken, I'll start adding it from now on!

[flickerclan-blog]

I absolutely LOVE the black cat with purple eyes pairing, so I wanted to draw a few from some Clangen blogs I like (though they're not all black lol). I've been experimenting with a slightly new style and this was really good practice! In order, we have

Crowsong from @fog-clan

Oakspider from @direclan

Violetsong from @branchclangen

Lavenderstar from @ashpaw-is-alone

Sweetkit from @mourningsbane

Ravenstar from @fallenclan

Moon 3

So yeah I've been messing around with my style a bit but (if Tumblr doesn't kill the quality) this is probably my favorite moon so far, though I'll still be changing things up a little bit as I find what works.

Also pleasepleaseplease send in asks, I'd love to draw them! (Or answer them myself if they're for me)

[flickerclan-blog]

Reblogging this here because you guys are the ones I want to hear from most lol, I mostly want to get a consistent, somewhat easy, and nice to look at style for this story

Hey y'all I need some art advice

So I recently started a clangen blog (@flickerclan-blog) but I've been pretty unsatisfied with how I draw cats so far, with the main thing being the eyes. They feel a little uncanny and human-like, and so I just was hoping to get some advice on which style you think is best/what I can do to improve. I'm more than open to critique, in fact I'm looking for it!

The first few I think look the worst/weirdest, the last is a new style I'm trying out, I think I like it more but it makes the character (Fallenclan's Oakspider, I'll be posting the full thing soon once I figure this out) look younger than they are and I'm not sure how to fix that. I want a style that I can make very expressive and change with the character's personality (for example change to round/angular,) but I like them a bit rounder on average.

Images under the break because I accidentally made them very big and couldn't figure out how to fix it lol. I know this is a lot to read, thanks so much for your help

!! Possible grooming TW !!

Honestly I'm playing through the moons but there's this one cat that joins and was being like... VERY affectionate toward this group of kits, it rubbed me the wrong way a little bit and then immediately after they became warriors he developed romantic feelings for not one but TWO of them, and it just makes me very uncomfortable. Lowkey idk if that's the kind of thing that's okay to write about I might just completely scrub his existence from the clan Edit: Yeah I just deleted the mf, I want this to be a dark story but not THAT kind of dark. Luckily I still had mostly enough left over each moon without him

Moon 0

WOOOO it's finally done! I'm so, so excited about this. Future moons will definitely be simple and usually just one panel (unless something really important happens) so I don't get burned out. Feel free to ask me any questions at all!
