i am periodically trying to work on bearclan but i sit down to work on this page and im like fuuuuck i gotta do backgrounds…….. as if there’s someone making me to backgrounds. girl you dont have to.

[mossears]

are clans other than the main clan in clangen stories interesting to you?

theyre okay if they’re minor

i like when there are more clans in the stories

i prefer more than one clan in clangen stories

clangen stories should stay focused on the playable clan

bearclan is coming home <3

original drawing on the top left by @mouseclan-clangen !! name will remain unknown until the next update...

[bearclangen]

my laptop i did bearclan on broke. fear not, i backed up the bearclan files! but… i have to buy a new computer. so if anyone wants a little drawing from me…… drop a few bucks

[bearclangen]

since bearclan is changing on the backend, im going to redo a couple pages to better match where i want the story to go. aaaand im almost completely restarting the save. all events up to the most recent page is still accurate! but what the future holds will be new…

[bearclangen]

info: i think bearclan is going to lean away from warrior cats universe. leaders will still receive 9 lives but the process is different. cats will live in colonies. those should be the only similarities?

Hello clangen community!! I’ve made some free to use OC reference sheet templates for all your clangen needs and desires, including the transparent empty template version for if you want to make a custom background yourself! You don’t need to credit or link me in the post if you do end up using these, just don’t remove the credit on the template itself and you’re all set! I’ve made a template for this before but it was. very bad. so I decided to remake it and make it a lil prettier this time, using the backgrounds from the game itself.

Additional tips just in case: To add in your cats sprite, color pick the color of the solid square behind the [insert sprite here] model and draw over it! It should now be open for you to put your own sprites there. Also, if you’re making your own customized version using the transparent template, I use overlay clipping layers to change the color of the template itself, like the cyan overlay I used for the crystal river/wastelands/fjord maps.

Have fun!! Feel free to use however you like, just don’t remove the credit !

It's donation post time 😔 I hate making these posts cause I feel so guilty, feels like I'm making them all the time but things just keep going wrong and my disability benefits can only get me so far

CONTEXT

(Tl;dr: 13 year old cat wont eat solid food anymore, he's barely eating, getting so skinny)

I have been well and truly drained of money this month, with 3 vet visits and the sheer amount of food I've bought for this cat.. and while I get paid tomorrow(?) it's only gonna be about £600.

Not only will I need to buy a bunch of stuff for my cat (blender, different types of cat food I've been suggested, vet consultation, Dental X-Ray that could cost up to £200) I also have Myself to feed for the next 2 weeks, and grocery shopping adds up real quick.

I can only hope he doesn't need surgery...... and if it's NOT his teeth and it is a gut issue, I've been told the testing could cost up to £1000 which is crazy insane.

Will get back to comic-ing soon once the stress of all this is over. I am exhausted x_x

PayPal

Patreon (read 180+ sketch pages ahead on VaporClan, as well as a full chapter ahead for @thefalsesun for $5)

Ko-Fi

Considering putting some of my LPS up for sale (authentic, they were bought when I was a kid) and my Switch Lite but that's all I really have to sell 😭

He is declining so rapidly and I fear if anything happens to this cat I will do something drastic.

I need him to get back to being big and chunky (not overweight though). It is physically painful seeing him so skinny and not eating.

He used to eat ANYTHING. Not picky at all.

Chapter 2 - Moon 11 Part 1 - Leaf Fall

Click for better resolution.

Charpaw has grown into an adult. Squirrelpaw & Rosypaw have become apprentices.

The clan decides together that the kits should be apprenticed to the two cats who have life experience. Charpaw, the only other warrior apprentice, does not receive a mentor. The clan figures they are almost done with training and will not need one, and Charpaw figures it is too late for them to train under someone else. Maybe they are a lost cause.

i know exactly when bearclan will end, in theory, but when in real life will it end? on what moon? i know not. how? what will happen along the way? i know not. you know as much as i do.

[mouseclan-clangen]

Happy Valentine’s Day from Bearclan & Mouseclan! It is totally February 14th!! Yayyy! @bearclangen ‘s Rosemary & Mouseclan’s Charpaw are bffs in my mind.
