after the great famine, it falls to those who remain to rebuild boughclan.

many people ask 'how do i know my art is good enough to start a comic'. this is a very common mistake. you do not make a comic to make good art you make comics because its fun and looked yummy

twenty years ago it was a howling storm

as the voice of a god from a great beyond

i was standing on the shore as the sky grew dark

with a hand on a bible and a hand on my heart

wish i could forget and let the years go by

wish i could escape from my dreams of you

my dearest otterstar... what on earth was going on during your apprenticeship? why???

@vallkary

[otterstar is, at his heart, a bitchy he/she gay man most comfortable starting shit and i am excited for the next arc where we start to see more of that side of him. he's very fun. he's a fucking nightmare. god save the queen.]

[with the emotional awareness and specific quirks all these cats (missing and present) have, i don't think you'd ever get a clear unbiased answer about the relationship dynamics out of any of them, even Newtchirp. so here's the tldr.

Stormstar did their best, and it wasn't enough. Otterstar was a pill, and he was a kid who couldn't be expected to handle his emotions better. when he shit in Stormstar's nest he was the human equivalent of 8 or 9. as he got older he does have more responsibility for his actions, but i think you can also see how he'd be pretty disillusioned.

i interpret the "troublesome" personality a few different ways, and the pattern that emerged in-game put Otter about here: messy.

is he right? is he wrong? irredeemable douchebag? irreproachable victim? nope! he's Otterstar (nonrefundable)]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CCC DISCORD!!!

If you didn't see, the Clangen Creator Community celebrated it's 1st birthday on March 23rd, so we thought we would run the same event that we ran the first month that the server was open - a banner event!

The original event featured 38 cats, but this time we were able to have a gathering of 60! Each cat was drawn and submitted by a different creator in our server in their own unique style, meaning we also have over 60 art styles represented here, which is so incredibly cool.

HUGE SPECIAL THANKS TO @bristleclanismissing, whom we commissioned to make the background but graciously assembled and FULLY SHADED the whole piece! Thank you so much, Coffee <3

We mention it a lot, but we are truly so grateful for this community, and hopefully the immense amount of love put into this project by our participants is easily felt. Here's to another year of creation!

Happy first birthday to @cccdiscord !

Creating this server with @nimbusclan , @ranchclan , @boughclan-clangen , and @forestclan-clangen has genuinely changed how I view art and community, and I’ve learned so much about so many things, not just clangen! Y’all are special to me and I’m so glad to have the opportunity to be a part of this <3

Anyone who is a fan of clangen creations is free to join! You don’t need to have a comic or story already going, you can just hop in and hopefully get inspired to create! (that is as long as the link still works LOL its fine it should be fine)

[boughclan-clangen]

happy first birthday to the ccc discord!! here's to many more years to come <3

[boughclan-clangen]

HI SELKIE <3 I've been seeing people do your style for the style challenges going around recently (I wanna steal your style too >:3) and I was just thinking that I love how you draw fur. Especially Goldenpaw, her little tufties work so well with your style because you make her look simultaneously fluffy and silky!

-Direclan

HI REL!!! im so sorry for leaving this for so long THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! i'm so glad goldenpaw's design is coming off exactly as i intend, i love a fluffy silky beaft and thats what i want for her always <3

i've been really touched by everyone trying out my style, it makes me really happy ;w; and it's been such a blast seeing the style challenge going around because it's SOOOO cool to see what everyone picks up the most about different styles!

goldenpaw be upon ye.....!
