#clangen sprites

[mammoth-clangen]

you are tempting me so hard to make a sprite mod for clangen i cannot lie

Do it!! (if u want, im not ur dad jhrfbhgf)

For fun, here's everyone's sprites so far uvu

And these two, bc yes that brown Fleet Fang from moon 3 exists in game!

What do their cat sprites look like? Curious to compare them with the refs!!!

I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED!! Now I have an excuse to talk about My Design Process!! (Also take their game-given names as an added bonus bc idk when else this would come up lol)

In general, my design philosophy for Trashclan is "find the closest morph I can and then take liberty with the markings". Thankfully this is pretty easy because as long-time domestic animals... pigeons come in lots of colours!!

Orangesky:

I thought her sprite looked super striking so I tried very very hard to match it to a pigeon as close as I could!! Translating the hearts was easy (keeping them consistently shaped is another story, but I'm willing to suffer for her <3), 90% of the work was in me digging around searching for the closest brown pigeon morph I could manage... and some weird recessive dilute situation came through for me!! I'm honestly surprised I managed to find something with both the browns and the grey lmao

Her name I was also pretty attached to by the time I put the run of the game down, but orioles uh... do not exist in this country c': I briefly considered changing it to "Blackbird" or "Thrush" because those are birds in the same family, but pretty much immediately settled on "Orange" because it just kinda looked similar enough for me to be really happy with it! I always knew I was gonna ditch the whole "star" suffix thing for worldbuilding reasons, shoutout to Pav who suggested "sky" bc it 100% keeps the energy of her game-given name and is in general just a rlly good name fhbefr

Ermineleaf:

Ermineleaf was a no-brainer, I took one look at their sprite and went "oh, that's a standard blue bar pigeon" lmao I think I briefly debated changing their prefix to "stoat" because while we have those there (invasive), idk if they moult into their white winter coat and officially earn ermine status... but it was another name I was pretty attached to so I decided to let it slide lol

Bitternfleck:

Straight up, he's just based on my real life pigeon but old and droopifed lmao. My pigeon has pearl eyes, aka she looks haunted by the knowledge of the wilds at all times and I thought that was a perfect translation for the bright cyan

Buttercupfledge:

This design was also a pretty easy 1:1 translation! The majority of the decisions here were just simplifying the pied spotting, aka something I would have done even if she was a cat lol. I also made the call to give her no wing-barring even tho her sprite is striped, also for simplifying reasons.

Settling on "fledge" as the suffix for apprentices was also a no-brainer bc it's... simply the age at which they're fledging! Easy!

Bonus Fringeclaw bc yes he was a real character in the game that I real killed in the first moon:

Fringeclaw is a perfect example of a totally standard cat name that I changed to be bird-applicable! Pigeons don't have teeth but they do have claws, easy swap!

His design is the furthest I departed from the sprite, I genuinely don't think I looked at it when I coloured him in the moon he's in, I just knew he was brown and I wanted him to share colours with Orangesky lmao

All sprites are from clangen

[stingray-clan]

i am kinda curious what their ingame sprites look like! And do you headcanon that ur cats know any cats from ur felllow beachgen bloggours?

Clangen sprites coming right up sir!

Everyone must just note that I take quite the liberties with designing gattos. Also there’s Dunepaw whom I designed as a kit, and well… now I know to never do that again 😭

Oh, and I added ages just in case anyone was wondering

And about headcannons… I’m quite split. It definitely would be an interesting dynamic to know other clans, but I don’t really wanna start headcannoning anyone’s blog without their consent. I hope you know wha I mean (I have a bit of social anxiety irl, so I would prefer to stay out of that, at least for now)

Also ignore the absolutely terrible quality, I had to take picks from my laptop 😭

i love all the shapes & colors you use !!! I also love the sleekness of some cats & the cute little round ones ^^ !! atm i suck at lore + questions (apart from complements <3) but if you gots anything you’d want us to know your free to tell :3

- ‼️

hello! thanks for your kind words - i'm actually taking most of the colours from the character's sprites themselves.

as for lore; i'll take this chance to clarify:

Only Starclan cats can answer questions directly, and I will do my best to answer questions to living cats accordingly. However they may be vague or confusing.

With that out of the way... have the current character's sprites! As a treat.

WOLFCLAN: MOON 0

As an elder, our clan should have taken care of you. But now... You're the only one left to protect the kits. Hide in the mountains. Keep WolfClan alive. I grant you nine lives. Good luck, Shimmerstar.

moon 0: the clan is attacked by wolves. only shimmerice, an elder, and four kits make it to safety. the previous leader appears in shimmerice's dreams to promote them to shimmerstar, and charge them with keeping the young cats safe.

if i continue the series i don't plan to make every update this big, or in the exact same style - this was just a trial run.

Moon 1

Also just to be transparent, I did intervene here. Lionpaw originally became a Medic buuuutt that would mean literally no one could hunt and I didn't want them to die sooo sorry kiddo </3 gotta crush your dreams.

[mothclanbestclan]

the new babies! I saved 3 kits because this mod loves to absolutely annihilate them.

I'll draw them on Friday but I'll post sketches throughout the week!
