RippleClan's Promise

A Warrior Cats Clangen blog stylized like a video game using resources from Clangen & free graphic design assets. Asks are open! (Click images for better quality. Run by Em, she/her.)

[rippleclan]

Welcome to RippleClan's Promise, a video game style Clangen story! I know, Clangen is already a game, but this takes my Clan, RippleClan, and transforms it into a new sort of visual novel/storytelling experience.

To learn how RippleClan's Promise works, check out #settings

To check out moon entries, go to #rippleclan story

For lore posts, check out #rippleclan lore

For past and current votes, see #rippleclan vote

For fanart, see #rippleclan art

For allegiance updates, see #rippleclan allegiances

For posts with specific characters, look up #name! When their name changes, the post with the change has both their new and old name in tags.

I'll add more navigation tabs as the story grows. This is an exercise in graphic design as I try to grow my portfolio, but it is also a chance to see if I'm on the right track with my creative instincts. I hope you enjoy!

And for our next entry on top ten prettiest cat nuns, Rollerfall!

Also Em, please could you explain what lead to Roller's injury? I've been wondering this for five years lol-

I thought I mentioned it somewhere… it was her brother 😈

PuffinClan seers part one, starring Archpelt, the dorky dad that everyone likes, and Murkstream, that one judgemental church lady who says, "I'm not homophobic, but-"

Also, in the allegiances Murkstream is described as a black tabby, and this might have been intended by Em, but black tabbies are the run-of-the-mill brown with black stripes cats. This is because of rufusing, but you can tell the cat's true color by the color of their stripes

Adore the height difference!

Whew! This one was a bitch to complete!

Babies close-up under the cut

The babes!

I had so much trouble with the layout of this one, I must've went through five different sketches before I finally settled on this. Also, those trees were a pain in the ass to render

My guys!

Instead of doing anything original, I decided to redraw those old clan body type charts. As before, the order is SealClan, CliffClan, ElkClan, and PuffinClan

And then at the bottom is the head-shape guides, featuring the deputies of arc 1, Hazelear of ElkClan, Maplesong of PuffinClan, Rippedpool of CliffClan, and Freckletuft of SealClan. The whole head shape thing also isn't a strict rule, it's more of a guideline

Great job! The ankle thing is such a fun detail!

[magewolf-the-artist]

It's been a while since I've posted anything Clans of Norway related, huh?

Now, this tree's a bit complicated, because I'm unsure of Charpatch's true parentage. In Mistpaw's Mistake there's a very brief mention that Lemmingstar was accused and put on trial for a half-clan relationship with some PuffinClan cat, and if I'm reading it right, the implication is that she was found innocent. HOWEVER, Charpatch is noted in the allegiances to have an oriental body type, which PuffinClan is described to have. But unless I'm missing something, it doesn't seem like there's any real evidence that Charpatch is actually half-clan, or if she was even born when the trial took place. So until @emtheanxiousdragon clarifies, I'm going to assume that Wigeonfur is her father. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Also Avocetcloud has a mate and kits, but I just wanted to draw these four

As always, Clans of Norway belongs to @emtheanxiousdragon

If I recall I made these two part of the same litter? But headcanon whatever you please!

[magewolf-the-artist]

Adderscar! He's an interesting lad

This one was a little difficult for me, because I'm so fond of his old design, so I tried to give it a similar feel, although I did lighten up his stripes considerably

I also looked up real burn scars on cats to get a better idea on how he'd look, and I noticed that with some cats that had burn scars on their faces, the eyelids were drawn up, so I applied that here

OG DESIGN BELOW THE CUT

[rippleclan]

Yay!

[magewolf-the-artist]

LOTS of blood below the cut!

This can surely only mean good things~

I kinda gave up on shading Lynxshine, but generally I think this turned out okay-ish

[rippleclan]

I love Thrushpaw and Lynxshine

[magewolf-the-artist]

My favorite pair of brothers! On the left is Roachspring, on the right is Cardinalblaze. This is also a sort-of redraw of some old designs I made of them from 2022, and I combined Roachspring's old design and his "official" design to make this

2022 versions below the cut!

[rippleclan]

It’s been long enough, I can admit it; they started as Sanders Sides inserts of Roman and Remus but eventually grew beyond that and into a more unique pair of brothers.

[magewolf-the-artist]

For some reason I got hit with a burst of inspiration that allowed me to sit and finish this entire thing in one sitting. Ah well, at least it’s pretty

What a tranquil title! I’m sure Nothing Bad is going to happen! 😈

[magewolf-the-artist]

Hooray for stopping the cycle!

I had this really clear image of Sleettuft in my mind, with those long cheek tufts and large, tufted ears. Basically I tried to channel "asshole grandpa". Also, I thought it'd be a fun trait if he had black lines on his muzzle that he passed onto Ashwhisker, and Ashwhisker in turn passed them onto Honeypaw and Lightpaw

I think I may keep doing these fake covers digitally, originally I drew the first two covers on IBISPaint because I was staying at my dad's house without access to my usual colored pencils

As always, this is amazing!

[magewolf-the-artist]

Three cheers for a totally normal and happy family tree!

Since Bounceface and Brantwing don't have official descriptions, I had to piece together whatever mentions of pelt color I could get from The Blood Bond, so basically I gave myself a lot more creative freedom. For Bounceface I had this really striking image of a very round boy, but underneath the plump cheeks and fur, his head shape is a rectangle. As for Brantwing, I flipped the rectangle head shape vertically and gave her some cunty eyeshadow

I've always had this headcanon that Spiderstorm is attractive, like weirdly attractive for a kitty-cat nun, so of course he inherited mommy's eyeshadow and some sick-ass bottom lashes. As for the rest, they're pretty basic, Frogbelly and Starlingflake take mostly after their daddo

Brantwing is perfect, and I love your Bounceface!

More Clans of Norway fanart! This time I decided to draw the leaders of all the clans in arc 1. From left to right is Brinestar (SealClan), Lemmingstar (CliffClan), Nutstar (ElkClan), and at the bottom is Whalestar (PuffinClan)

For some reason I always pictured Brinestar having this insanely huge mustache, so of course I had to add it. For Lemmingstar I headcanon that she has extreme resting bitch face, and apprentices say that she can turn cats into stone just by looking at time. Nutstar's pretty basic, she gives me stern-but-fair mom energy. And Whalestar's just an old geezer, he's literally 16 years old, 80 years old in human years. Sure would be a shame if he suffered severe memory problems... heh

[rippleclan]

You pretty much nailed it! I always pictured Nutstar to be sleek, but the design totally works!

[magewolf-the-artist]

These are just some body types for each clans from Clans of Norway, the first three are from the distant year of 2023, and the last one is from an hour ago

From top to bottom: SealClan, CliffClan, ElkClan, and PuffinClan

Another one! If I keep doing these, I’ll do em in chronic order

Like the last time, all credit for these characters belongs to @rippleclan

[magewolf-the-artist]

Oh wow, something not Walten Files related, AND digital? Really switching things up for 2026, ain’t I?

I’ve been getting back into a series called Clans of Norway by Em_The_Anxious_Dragon on AO3, she also runs the blog @rippleclan which is an equally awesome project, but CoN will always hold a special place in my heart <33
