WELCOME TO FOSSILCLAN

FAQ

Q: Is your inbox open?

A: Always! My inbox is open for questions (both for me and for any of the characters involved), fanart, and other concerns. If you need to contact me, please refer to my main Tumblr blog tagged above.

Q: Do you do commissions/requests?

A: I do not unfortunately do art requests (unless for ArtFight or for mutuals (which even then is occasional)) as I just do not have the time. I have a commission page on my main Tumblr as well as a Patreon which comes with its own commission benefits. I may occasionally show drawings either on this blog if related to ClanGen or FossilClan, or on my main blog otherwise, though!

Q: Do you censor items?

A: Yes! Anything that needs censoring will be given the tag “#tw: (item)” (ex. “#tw: gore” or “#tw: death”)

Notice

Hello, I'm sad to say it but unfortunately, FossilClan will no longer be in the works.

I am simply moving all of my content to a fresh account and leaving behind the old stuff - I just need to start anew.

Most likely you will see me again, probably a new ClanGen account when I'm ready to do one. But until then, FossilClan, and all my other projects, will be discontinued.

I deeply apologize, but this is what I need to do for my own mental health and for my own sake.

Thank you for all your support. 💖

EDIT: And, no. I will not be deleting this blog or any of my others! They will still be up for archive.

Hi!! It has been a little bit, so here is a brief announcement from me.

To make a long story short, you guys probably won’t receive pages for Moon… I think we’re on 14 now…? for the next few weeks. I’ve been procrastinating, absolutely, but also have been working extremely hard for graduation (I’m intended to be Class of 2026!)

I have done a lot of hard work just this school year alone. This year, though I was a senior, I had so little credits that I was practically a freshman. I have had to make up over twenty classes of credits throughout the past year and have been working extra hard these final few weeks. Now, I only have only five left.

I’ve accomplished so much and I feel like that has been because I’ve been setting these fun little projects aside for life. I will continue to do that. But I promise, you guys will get your fair share of pages eventually! I just haven’t gotten the time to work on them thus far and won’t for a few more weeks.

To hold you guys off, here’s a quick sneak-peek to next moon! This next moon will have two parts, the first part having four pages and the next part having an animated panel. So I’m hoping that can keep you guys on your toes about what’s to come. Thank you all very much for your patience!

(characters are Bluebellstripe and Storkeyes!!)

tw: dead body

babies and more babies in place of babies

Mom was named Sleet btw, I imagine she was starving and too weak to kit so she died shortly after. Thankfully Needle found the kits still alive!

Oh. And Marigoldpaw is in a dilemma.

(INTERMISSION)

being fed with three pages as an apology for my inactivity

anyways um. Me when my former apprentice that is like twice my height now threatens me

This is my first heavily lore based page and I think I want to make more?? Feel free to share your thoughts! It helps me get creative rather than only doing the prompts but is more time consuming, up to you guys!!

Small Update + CCC Event Drawing!

Hi, fossils!

It’s been a long while since I uploaded, I apologize! For the past week now I have been incredibly sick (I have had a week-long migraine causing intense nausea) and am not scheduled for an EEG until Friday, so I’ve just been trying to tough it out. On top of that, I’ve been very busy trying to pass senior year (I’ve been behind) without needing to get a core diploma. Life goes on, but FossilClan just has not been a priority in my life lately.

Hopefully by the time summer break comes I can be a tad bit more active! I’ve been aiming for taking a one-year break from schooling before entering college so I should hopefully have a lot more time to work on this starting summer of 2026.

I also thought I would give an update about FossilClan’s game status: it is pretty much fully reconstructed! I’m sort of starting anew on the relationships since I want to see where they pick up - previous moon events happenings will be implemented into the moons, but I’m just choosing to have a fresh start on the relationships since the moon ended on a pretty big event that could impact our characters greatly anyways.

Just thought I’d give an update! As sort of an apology for my hiatus, I figured I would post a Storkeyes drawing that I have made for the @cccdiscord’s one year anniversary banner event!!

“Aww Storky!!!” everybody shouts in unison

Anyways, again apologies for the inactivity, and I hope that sooner or later I can once again pick up FossilClan and continue where we left off since we have some interesting plot-driving events coming up in the near future! Hope to see you all very soon! Bye-bye!!

I participated in the CCC discord's secret santa! I drew Nightstrike for @fossilclan-gen <3

(Also tagging @axowotlz since the first tag didn't work)

[fossilclan-gen]

YAYYY THE BOY!!!!!

I am still very much in love with how you drew Nightstrike! He looks very troublesome indeed, and the shading is phenomenal!!

But hey, Wisteriaecho’s a warrior now at least! Heh…

Sad news, unfortunately during a file transfer after getting a new computer, I had lost all save data for FossilClan.

This sucks and I am pretty bummed, but I don’t plan to give up on FossilClan anytime soon. I think I plan to reconstruct the save, but only FossilClan’s save. So most likely we’ll see the other Clans have different cats, which I might make into cameos since this blog is starting to get bigger.

Here’s the game plan!

What’s happening with FossilClan?

Nothing will happen to FossilClan or this blog. I will continue posting the next few moons (I got up to Moon 15.) If I happen to finish the art before the coding (which I doubt as coding is my main priority), I will give updates. But until then consider this a very brief hiatus until I put everything back together.

When do you plan to be done with coding?

Not sure. I’m no speed runner and I want to try to do everything as carefully as possible, so I don’t have future errors. I will try to get coding done by February at latest, but do keep in mind I will also be busy with school and MAP parts.

Will there be any changes from before?

The only main changes are going to be relationships and reputations that I want increased or decreased, and possibly slight changes in appearances. Their drawing variants will not change, only their sprites.

Thanks to you all for your endless support! I will let you all know when coding is presumably finished so things could return to normal. See you on the flip side!

100 FOLLOWERS + DRAWING YOUR CLANGEN CATS!

DEADLINE: NOV.7

I hopped onto Tumblr early only to find this pleasant surprise, I couldn’t be more thankful!! I’ve struggled for a while with figuring out what I wanted for my own ClanGen blog so seeing that a hundred (and more) people are showing great interest makes me so happy.

As a thank you, I want to do a favor for you all!

DRAWING YOUR CATS!! (10 SLOTS)

As long as you have a ClanGen blog and have a visible bust shot of the cat you want to request, I will draw them! I unfortunately don’t think I’ll get to everyone… but there will definitely be more opportunities like this in the future where I’ll heighten your chances for you! These are completely for FREE and are simply a thank-you gift.

And yes, you are absolutely allowed to request other people’s blogs cats. Although I’m only doing one cat per blog, so keep that in mind.

I hope to see some lovely kitties from you all!! And again thank you so much for the support, I couldn’t be more happy that YOU’RE happy!! :D

[fossilclan-gen]

bumping this, we still got 3 or so cats needing to be requested :) I extended the deadline for this until Friday

[fossilclan-gen]

Comments are not on for the 100 Followers post, were you aware of this or is it an accident?

Oh whoops, I was NOT aware of that. Should be fixed now, I must have forgotten to change that setting when it was switched to the default. Thanks for making me aware! :)

[fossilclan-gen]

Where would someone submit a changen cat for the contest?

Either as a comment or a reblog! Make sure you send it on your CLANGEN BLOG account though. (Or if you’re requesting a different blog’s characters/don’t want to log in to your ClanGen blog, just @ the blog with the character name.)

Hopefully this makes some sense!

FOSSILCLAN - MOON 9 (part 2)

poor Bluebell got hit by a truck 💔

As said she is a NightClan warrior. She’s 24 moons old, childish, and a great kitsitter, I just didn’t add those to the page.

Bluebell was just catching prey when a car hit her, and her jaw is now broken from it… I imagine she’ll be staying with us for a little while.
