Moon 4 - Part 2

#I wonder where they’re gonna go do you have an idea of what territory they’re looking for? @hiddenvalleyclan

YES! I made a map of the territory they'll end up in and everything - though I kinda borked myself by drawing updates 'til now with red rocks, because I decided AFTER I had started drawing the comic that I wanted them to be somewhere familiar to me - a sort've fictional version of the mountain ranges of New England. I hadn't thought much about it while playing, and the game has the mountain setting somewhere with kea and buzzards and venomous snakes and spiders (which New England is not home to, for the most part), so I'll probably just... gently start drawing the scenery more northern and change the animals to match, lmao. I'm keeping the location fictional instead of basing it on a specific place to give myself some leeway, though.

#anyways I wanted to say I’ve loved the last couple updates and poor fog 😭😭 #do we know what’s gotten him cranky or is it just the incredible stress of moving @hiddenvalleyclan

"Fogpaw always gets cranky when he's stressed," Moonpaw mews. "We're both having a hard time, having to leave behind everything we've ever known, but... despite how annoying he's being, I think it's because he feels responsible for keeping us safe.

"I think he's always felt like he's needed to be strong for the both of us. I think it's gotten worse since our-" Moonpaw cuts herself off, throat working silently for a moment before continuing. "Since we ended up on our own. Me, I'm more of a crier. I sad cry, angry cry, happy cry..."

OOC: The death of his family and loss of his home is really doing a number on him. They're both only apprentices and have very little idea of what they're doing or SHOULD be doing, and Fogpaw feels as though it's up to him to keep up a strong front for his more outwardly-emotional sister. Moonpaw does rely a lot on her brother, and though they draw strength from each other, it can be stressful when you feel as though somebody is putting all of their trust and faith in you to keep them safe. It's a heavy burden!

🌳 What does their family tree look like?

Like this! I only did direct lineage for this family tree, 'cause otherwise with various mates and cousins and distant relatives it would've taken forever to draw and, frankly, it's not important.

And yes - though most of these relatives are not important lore-wise, they DO have backstories. So, if you're curious about any of them, feel free to send in an ask!

Ask was from this ask game!

comic cancelled, Moon and Fog live at the ranch now

A little bonus for @nimbusclan to show Milkfur Can be nice lmao

My favorite panel sketch from the upcoming moon, before I ruin it with lineart

WOOO !!! We did it! We did the prologue!! Thank you everyone for all of the support, it has genuinely meant the world to me <3 I started this a month ago and the kindness and interaction from the community has been SO sweet! Going to work on a clangen fanart post next to give back to the community! Oh, and if anyone has any asks for the characters, please send them in!

lowkey obsessed w Wheattail and Bouncecloud’s designs especially….. is there perhaps any lore to share for them ?

Aaah, I'm so happy you like their designs!!

Wheattail's in-game characteristics are loving, skilled mediator, and valuable insight. He and his mate, Windvalley, were both the same age when they died - 97 moons! He acted as deputy for a very short time while Murkstar, the leader at the time, waited for her son to become old enough to take on the role.

Bouncecloud's in-game traits are righteous and great fighter. She died tragically young at 19 moons when she got trapped on patrol. :') As such, she didn't have much of a hand (paw?) in raising her son, Cliffstripe. As an apprentice, desperate to prove her worth despite being half-kittypet, she excelled so well that she graduated two whole moons early!

Here are their sprites :)
