I MIGHT have to take a hiatus for a couple weeks (Im not 100% sure),, bc college finals are coming up and I can rationalize putting aside my own work but I have lots of group projects atm and I don't want to let my teams down so I really need to put that first! Again, I'm not totally sure tho so just consider it an ominous warning

Moon 4 - Part 2
Maybe we should move someplace new / and build time machines to go and get us back / Back before we were brittle
Gutterrat was seen speaking to a Camosunclan cat across the border. Scandalous!
Start / Back / Next
Ferntail, a young warrior of strict Camosunclan, had met Gutterrat across the border before the founding of Gutterclan. Then a loner named Brie, Gutterrat- both personable and lonely- had struck up a rapport with Ferntail.
Ferntail himself- something of a punching bag, as a "Medius" near the bottom of his clan's hierarchy- fell into an easy friendship with Brie, free from the constraints of rank.
He declared himself to be Brie's mentor (though he was scarcely a moon older). The two spent a season "training" together - escaping to the fantasy that Brie might one day join the clan as a full warrior of Camosunclan, and openly live alongside Ferntail.
Some things aren't meant to be.
(pretend I'm not super late to the party)

Rambling under the cut
This is probably my favourite moon so far !! Joined a lovely community of other clangen creators and it really inspired me to get this done. And !! I don't have the draw the tree ever again unless it shows up for more symbolism !
The people voted for text instead of handwritten so after moon 0 is up, I'll switch over to text ! In the meantime, I'll try to find a font :D
Two more pages until we're done the prologue !! Exciting!
moonstar boutta crash out after the last update

Fun fact ingame Bugclan and Pondclan were called Lowclan and Brindleclam, but that gave me like nothing to work with so i based them on their icons instead. In general I tried to work with what the game gave me as much as I could

A Discord for the ClanGen Community!
Hiya friends! @boughclan-clangen, @direclan, @ranchclan and I got together and, with a lot of love and brainstorming, created the ✨CLANGEN CREATOR COMMUNITY DISCORD!✨
This is a place (a Gathering, if you will) for ClanGen comic artists, writers, creators, and fans alike to share WIPs, participate in monthly events, promo their clans, and, of course, make friends! 💖
There's no barrier to entry - anyone who loves ClanGen blogs can join! We hope to see all of your twitching whiskers and waving tails over there. :3
(Clan icon made by @boughclan-clangen!)
Huge shoutout to direclan for doing all the physical labor of putting the server together! The community is open to all, fan and creator alike - we can't wait to geek out with y'all about our fave clangen comics :D
JOIN THE CLANGEN CREATOR COMMUNITY!
Soooo @boughclan-clangen, @nimbusclan, @ranchclan and I noticed that there's not really a server dedicated to the Clangen comic community (comics, writing, fans, puzzle solvers, etc.). So we decided to make one!
Also - you don't have to have an active comic/story to join. This is just a place for the community to gather and make friends!
(If the link is broken, just DM me and I can send a new one :3)
Boughclan even made the pfp for the server! We'd love y'all to join and hang out with us and other creators in this community! 💖
clangen comic community discord
hi folks! @direclan, @nimbusclan, @ranchclan and i got together and created a general discord for folks in the clangen comic community. this discord isn't centered around any of our comics or around the game itself--it's for artists, writers, and fans alike to get together to hang out, make friends, and check out each other's work.
we're aiming for this to be a mutually supportive collective of folks who love clangen and the art that derives from it. if this sounds fun to you, please feel free to join us!
Intro Post
Hey yall! Making an intro post with all the information..
So long story short this is a comic for one of my last classes in college. I'm having a hard time staying motivated to work on it as quickly as I have to, so I thought posting might help!
I am already behind. That's the problem. So I'm here to post updates as I go along with WIP and character sheets and lineups. Every week I'll be posting the comic pages I get done and ideally I would really appreciate if y'all like applied some pressure as far as asking for when the next update is and such- WHICH ISNT NORMAL WEBCOMIC ETIQUETTE!!! BUT I'M ASKING FOR THIS SPECIFIC COMIC FOR ME FOR Y'ALL TO BREAK THAT UNSPOKEN RULE!! pressure me into updating yall..
The comic in it's entirety should be about 23 pages and in the end it will be physically printed. The comic is I'd say probably for teens? It's a horror comedy about a dog cult and a cat named Nyx that wants to escape.
I don't know what else to put here, but I guess it'll be updated as I go. Thanks for coming to this page y'all!

Not much happened this moon, so I took inspiration from the training patrols to come up with something :) I feel like that’s a good thing though, they need time to settle in to their new territory 💙🌀
Moon 7
[Previous] [Start] [Next]
“All that’s left to do is to find some more cobwebs for you, bring you water-soaked moss, catch us both something to eat…” Moonstar ticks each item off on her claws, recounting the list in her head for the sixth time since waking. She’s been going over it since the sun rose, making sure she won’t forget anything her brother may need while she’s out. “Are you feeling okay?” She asks, reaching a paw towards his cobweb-covered flank. “Does it hurt at a–”
Fogfreckle’s tail easily flicks up between them, blocking her paw. She leaves it hanging awkwardly in the air between them for a heartbeat, confused, unable to tell if he had done that on purpose or not. “Really getting into that leader mindset, huh?” Her brother mews, and though there’s a slight smile to his mouth, his words fall flat as they reach her ears.
On purpose, then.
Moonstar blinks at him, trying to remember where her thoughts had gone before they’d been so succinctly cut off. “I’ve got to stay on top of things with my deputy out of commission, yeah?” She mews lightly. Her neck fur prickles with unease as the smile drops fully from Fogfreckle’s face.
“Yeah.” His voice is painfully blank. He turns his muzzle away from her, as if the boulders crowding in around them are somehow more interesting to look at. “S’pose so.”
Moonstar fidgets from paw to paw, unsure of the sudden tension stifling the two cats in the crammed space. She runs through her mental list yet again, turning each item over in her head like smooth pebbles to see if any of the contents could have pricked at her brother in a way she hadn’t considered. Try as she might, she can’t figure out how the term ‘water-soaked moss’ would have been able to turn his mood sour.
“You’re being really brave about this,” Moonstar starts, switching tactics. Her brother is still staring blankly into the darkness, turned away from her. “Sticking it out through the pain like this. I know it must hurt.”
She reaches out a paw once again, intending to rest it against his flick, but his ears flick backwards and he pushes himself out of reach. Her paw drops, the confusion at his attitude starting to morph into a hurt that yanks at her like brambles.
“I’m not a kit anymore, Moonstar.”
“...Yeah, I know,” Moonstar mews slowly, feeling like she’s padding on thorns. “You’re– you’re my deputy! You’re–
“Could you just leave me alone?” Fogfreckle curls into a tight ball, wrapping his tail over his nose. His shoulders are sharp in the dim light that issues from the crawlspace entrance, the fur along the back of his neck spiky and agitated. Moonstar frowns at the shape of him in the gloom.
If he doesn’t want her emotional support, fine. She swallows down the ball of hurt that is lodged in her throat like a bird bone and lets it out with a rough sigh. Screw her for trying to be helpful. He can rot, for all she cares, as long as he stays here and stays out of trouble.
She stalks towards the entrance of their makeshift den, shoulders brushing the boulder above her. “I’ll go get your moss.”

what would be Moonstar and Fogfreckle's sexuality or crush? 🏳️🌈🩷
Moonstar is a lesbian, and Fogfreckle is pan!

Moon 3 - Part 3
you take a load off, annie (and you put the load right on me)
Start / Back / Next
✏️Who’s your favorite character to draw/write?
LOUSEPAW!!!!! i like her shape. I change a lot of the randomly generated names if I don’t think they fit the character’s design or personality, so I decided to name her after a woodlouse (terrestrial isopods)
Hello my friends! I'm working on Moon 7 and I can't decide -
I've been using a color layer set to multiply while the cats are in their den to make them appear darker (y'know, like they're in the dark) but I can't tell if it's TOO dark and makes it harder to see.
Anyone have any opinions? Should I ditch the multiply layer or is it easy enough to see even though it's desaturated?
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 :)
Happy WIP Wednesday! Here's a messy thumbnail sketch from the upcoming Moon 7 :)
