FernClans About

Currently, this account follows BuddingClan primarily, but also dips into the lives of their neighbor, CypressClan.

Rules I'll be Following

No save manipulation; unless something really crazy happens for plot reasons.

Decisions to proceed on patrols are dependent on the cats personality type.

Mass extinction events will be turned on when a clan has over 30 cats.

Cats may choose to become mediators. Retiring after an injury is also optional.

BuddingClan does NOT have "automatic deputy" on as to prevent the oldest cats to be forced into leadership automatically; this will be changed after a leader is chosen <3

Mateship between first-cousins and mentor/apprentice pairs is turned off; same-sex adoption prompts are on, as is non-mate and outsiders. These will be toggled as-needed for population reasons.

Experience-based graduation is turned on; I will also be having apprentices pass a single lone-patrol before graduation.

Patrols will be decided based on moon events. Sometimes cats will be sent alone, others will be in groups, sometimes it'll be random!

[sparrowferns]

when looking at a clangen yearly lineup, what do you prefer?

in order as they appear in allegiance

mostly in order but breaking order to keep mentors and apprentices together

mostly in order but keeping family units together in one cluster

mostly in order but breaking for important relations or events (both sick, etc)

NEWLEAF 1 page four

< first - prev - next >

Hazelpaw has been apprenticed to Dovefoot!

Flamepaw has been apprenticed to Ashstar!

BEAR WITH ME AS I FIGURE OUT SPEECH BUBBLES AND TEXT SIZE... This was very fun to do! A lot of work, but very fun!!

Written text beneath the cut!

Ashstar: "I know you're still quite young and inexperienced, but how would you like to mentor Hazelpaw?"

Dovefoot: "You— you can count on me!"

Ashstar: "And I'll mentor Flamepaw myself."

Flamepaw: "Huh?"

Flamepaw: "Wait— ME?! Really?!"

Ashstar: "Sure! You remind me of myself when I was your age. It'll be fun."

ASPHODELCLAN . moon 0

AsphodelClan is little in number. Between HillClan's regular assaults and a terrible leafbear, the clan has been left with just enough cats to keep themselves going. Herb stores are at an all-time low and it seems no matter how many different treatments Driftleopeard tries, Charredstar's condition continues to deteriorate.

Newly made deputy, Velvetspeck, has spent the past season taking up more and more of Charredstar's duties while the clan urges her to rest and recover.

Notes:

Decided to do it on a smaller canvas and not the big collage so we could see them better

Fawnstar's pose is one i wanted to do for a while, as i refrence cat poses for these. you can see me try to do it for Fogstar in the first timelapse

Went offscreen to get Fawnstar's pose right. proceeds to not record me drawing Fawnstar

Mudstar, Riftstar and Scarletstar's footage missing, probably just forgot to record

Drew this before Loudclans lore that Owlstar doesnt like wearing the pawprint, so just kept it

Had extra room on the canvas, so 2 bonus cats! (Meaning 22 cats instead of 20)

Chopped up version to see them together better, rip to those meows in peices

[fernclans]

saw a video of a wolf howling and many others responding with their own howls and it made me think more about the sounds everyone would have heard just before the raid on the camp…

[fernclans]

so sorry for disappearing again; i started work on the next post and then got distracted with other things 😶 trying to decide if i should continue Budding or put it on hiatus for a different project

[fernclans]
