Welcome to SporeClan!

I'm Roonie (she/her), and this is my clangen blog, inspired by many others! This is the pinned master post for this blog with links to various blog posts and related resources. Maybe I'll even do a family tree sometime :]

it’s pride month finchwisp…you know what that means

[sporeclan]

That's the mindset he started off with, at least! As much as Puddle lives and breathes for drama, he still can't help but eventually grow attached to the cats he observes in his own weird, detached way. He just doesn't really have a particular interest in bonding with them and actually becoming friends, either.

In this sense, Rosemaryfleck probably IS the closest bond he has right now because they worked so well together. I guarantee you Rose still goes to Puddle for advice allllll the time <3

Fennel just REALLY doesn't like that Oscypek has the potential to cause a rift between his daughters just by existing. For Reasons

Rest assured you're not the only one lol, Soltalon's name famously has always given me grief LMAO

i GENUINELY can't fathom why specifically Finchwisp gets an unlucky prompt so often. Why does the game hate her so.........

No one does it like she does <3<3<3<3<3

Hehehe thank youuu, shes everything to me <3

[sporeclan]

THE CAROLINA AND MINKLAKE MOMENTS ohhhhhp. Is there somethin going on on Minklake’s end despite the rejection or are they just blushing bc they’re mortified to have been confessed to by someone they thought they were just being friendly with 😭

There is something going on! They actually like him a LOT too, but the mortifying ordeal of being vulnerable was too much for them in the moment :')

[sporeclan]

not dawnpelt starting to beef with another child bro 😭

Genuinely probably my favourite Dawnpelt moment ever. Girl what do you MEAN you're mad at that toddler for getting special treatment. Her sister literally JUST died 😭

Reminds me of someone...

[sporeclan]

Roonie we LOVE your comic but please please please we need a design contest or a Dtiys to cope without a new moon please please please thank youuu

I mean,, like I said, the next moon is out tonight :'D You won't be starved for content much longer, don't worry

While I would love to do some more stuff between moons, I don't know if I can do much. My motivation to do art in general is fickle at best right now because I've been so busy, and I would hate to burn myself out because I felt obligated to do something.

THAT BEING SAID!!!! I wouldn't be opposed to doing a DTIYS for already existing panels in the comic. Either I'd pick a couple of iconic ones or leave it up to participants to choose their favourites! That might be fun for everyone involved, I just gotta figure out what the prizes would be :'D

[sporeclan]

According to the game files, their names would've been Mushroomprance, Greenstem, which are both literally perfect for them and I'm SO SAD we don't get to see them in the comic itself... and Snailember, which to be fair is not the worst thing, I just don't love it. I think if I were to choose, I would probably change it to something like Snailstep or Snailshell!

Puddle manifested that branch with mind beams specifically to inconvenience Mousegrove

Sure thing!

Piper and Oscypek have kind of a strange relationship, but strange in a cute romcom kinda way. Or at least I think it's cute and silly :'D

They had barely interacted before she approached him with the idea of having a litter, and they initially agreed to stay platonic and for Piper to be the main parent with Oscypek helping from the sidelines. Which held true for a while... until it inevitability meant spending more time together. The both of them are now slowly realising how much they do actually enjoy each other's company <3

Mousegrove and Puddle's weird antagonistic hater dynamic is one of the funniest things in the world to me. Mousegrove vs the scariest twink you've ever seen.

Soltalon is perhaps one off the saddest characters to me,, That poor girl is in WAY deeper than she should've ever had to be at such a young age :'(

Carolina has always been glittery! That's just how his sprite generated :'D

This is the funniest possible interpretation and I approve of it

Everyone's dearly beloved little freak <3

Yep! We'll learn more about Finchwisp and Piperdapple's mother eventually... ;)

As for Dawnpelt... I'm so sorry to break this to y'all, you all seem to think Minklake is besties with her but. They don't talk to her either. They may be siblings, but they haven't really spoken since everything with Cinnamonpaw went down :( The only clanmate that she has any kind of friendship with is Soltalon, she's managed to push literally everyone else away.

GENUINELY THOUGH I don't understand what this game's beef with Finchwisp is. She is the world's biggest punching bag </3

I'm so glad you like it though!! :'D Thank you!

That's what I've been saying this WHOLE DANG TIME!!!!!!!! Where is my BOY!!!!!!

[sporeclan]

So, yes and no :'D Sporeclan is from before the update that let you search for missing cats dropped, so I played on a version without that feature up until abooout... moon 28?

Since moon 28, though, I HAVE consistently searched for him every other moon! (A rule I made for myself after a bit of testing because searching every moon felt a little too busted) So rest assured, there's still a chance for him to return!

Thank you so much!! :D

See, the true secret to how I do rosettes so well is that I was a 2000's kid and cheetah print was suuuuper trendy when I was little... so I taught myself how to paint cheetah print on my nails. And now, 15 years later, I use that exact same method to draw rosettes patterns on my clangen cats :'D Here's a handy-dandy little chart I made so you guys can try 'em out too!

My other secret is that I just find drawing complex patterns very satisfying to do, it's just how my brain is wired lol

Right now I'm at moon 48, so that would be around 13 moons ahead of the most recent page!

I've mentioned before that I usually play around 6-12-ish moons ahead of the latest page because in the beginning, it was a benefit to be able to get a few extra chunks of new drama once in a while to get myself really invested in the characters... But I'm already deeply attached to these characters now, and I've realised I now get extremely anxious to open the game in case all my setup gets immediately ruined by a random wipeout event :'D So I'm working on getting a bigger backlog in the future!

For action poses specifically, not really, unfortunately;;; I just kinda wing it and hope for the best :'D Your best bet is to look up references and go from there

I use Clip Studio Paint! It's unfortunately neither free nor cheap, but it is pretty dang good in my opinion!

As for tips on how to get better at drawing digitally, unfortunately all I can tell you to do is practice. I'm really not all that good at articulating my process otherwise :')

1) You don't have to draw specifically cats! You could always just design your clangen cats into something else that you're more confident in drawing! :] OR drawing a cat comic could prove to be great practice for drawing cats <3

2) I will admit it's a little bit of RNG, but it's also a LOT of picking and choosing things to make your own narrative out of whatever the game gives you. For example, Clangen would've never generated the feud between Puddle and Mousegrove as it is in the comic by itself, that's something I had to string together with what few interactions they had. I dig a lil deeper into how I document SporeClan in this post here if you're interested!

[sporeclan]

Some expressions from the upcoming moon for y'all because it's taking me FOR FREAKING EVER lol

[sporeclan]

A Piperdapple for the soul <3

[sporeclan]

Moon 36 is in the works!! ;)

[sporeclan]

I'm slowly but surely inching closer to 4000 followers... I was thinking of doing another "drawing other clangen's cats" when i hit it, but I figure you all might like some input/have some good ideas on how we can celebrate, too ! :D Feel free to send me any suggestions you have!!!

[moonstoneclangen]

Give me six Clangen cats to draw!!!(edit:OMG NO I FOGOT TO DO SHADING EVERYBODY IM SO SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Presenting to you:

First is Rye from @aphidclan-clangen!!!! He’s my fav cat, so cute and sweet! I wanna cuddle him so much omggggg

Second is Shadowholly from @missedclangen! He literally took me so long to do the patterns, I hope I did it right! He’s always so positive and looks to the sunny side, hope things turn out well for him soon!!

Third is my beloved Piperdapple from @sporeclan!!! She’s quite possibly my fav Clangen cat, so cute and sweet and floofy! Her fur was shaped kinda like fluffy butterfly wings so not so hard to draw since I’m quite fine with those????????? She’s soooo adorb!!!!!!

Next is Larimarfrost from @crystalline-clangen. He’s so grumpy, and protective of his kits after he lost one! He’s cute and cool though I’m sorry he looks so oddddddddd myb gonna make a cuter one of him next time?

Now we have Warblerstalk from @our-clangen, who is sweet and gentle! I really like her, but I think she looks better without eyebags but that’s what makes her super special and unique!!

Lastly, we have SATIVA FROM @ranchclan!!!! Her design is literally so cute, might be my fav ranchclan cat!
