Voyageclan: Moon Zero

Next (in progress)

Captain Jack: seafoam-blue tom, 71 moons. The pet of a notorious pirate and captain of a feline crew.

I know I said I’d post all of the new beginnings pages when they were done but I’m a liar and actually want to post now. Welcome to the REAL start of Voyageclan! The pages I’ve posted so far are not being retconned out or anything, they’re just getting sandwiched between exposition pages

This was very ambitious for me! Barely any cats, lots of backgrounds. A freaking ship. An aura farming figurehead!

Captain Jack: seafoam-blue tom, 71 moons. The captain of the feline crew. He is arrogant and prideful, but fiercely protective of his crew.

Osprey “Ozzy”: purplish tabby she-cat. 41 moons. Stoic and loyal first mate to Captain Jack. She comes off as cold and blunt.

Willy: white young tom. 6 moons. Insecure and cautious

Checkov’s fox yaknow

So! From what I remember about the original prompt from clangen (I was not taking great notes at this time) I antagonized an intruder and he got hit by a car running away. There are no cars in this setting so I went for the closest thing to create that sudden death, which was the fox from the other scene. My take on Moreldapple winning vs the fox being bold enough to go for this cat is that this fox is very reluctant to be outnumbered. When Morel’s party backs her up, the fox runs off into the jungle but picks off this cat that it sees is actively being attacked by the other cats.

I did go back and edit the last page with the fox so that it’s heading towards the jungle instead of into the ambiguous blue void lol

One more page of this scene and I’ll take a bit of a break for Artfight!

RAAAAAH!!! I’m finally finished with this page!!! And almost done with moon zero!! I swear the day after I posted the last page I went into a flow state lining, but I could not get locked back in for coloring to save my life.

Also please please please feel free to point out if I need trigger warnings I will never be offended if you’re asking me to make other people’s experience more comfortable. I am not a tw user and have never really done a project like this so I am unsure how to handle using them, but I want to learn!

Another page! I almost redid this one when I finished because I feel incredibly “meh” about it but I remembered my goal in this blog is to have fun so I decided that it would be more fun to keep moving forward.

A new scene, a new setting, and MORE CATS. This scene comes from a border patrol prompt, but I didn’t feel it fit to call it border patrol before the cats know any borders.

I feel like this is going to be the point where I really start trusting the process in my pages. I dreaded coloring because I knew I needed to convey a jungle scene. Honestly, I am so much happier than the beach scene! I had no idea what to do in such an empty space and I think it shows. But here, I was able to just turn off my brain and work on my setting and incorporate the cats so much easier. I’m slowly learning that backgrounds aren’t evil and that they are cool actually, last year I did a few full background pieces on my TikTok for speed paints and those really helped me out here!

Anyways I’m excited that I’m keeping up with this! I’m still not fully through what I’ve decided will be my stopping point in-game for this story but I have been writing the overall story as I go and I’m hoping to give every character an arc if I can. I have decided that I will finish this scene and go back and do some prologue work that I probably needed to do before I started posting hehe :3c ya’ll get the blogging experience though.

Second prompt from clangen complete! These two were the only prompts I kept from moon zero! So we’re ready to go to moon one right??? Nope sorry! So I jumped right into the prompts because I wanted to see if I could do this, pushing through completing comic pages are something I historically give up on, but the prompt nature of clangen really helped. However, that made me completely skip exposition. So my next mission is to make a prologue to introduce the characters, setting, and situation! Then I want to round off moon zero with a few more prerequisite scenes so that Moon One is the first moon with Voyageclan formed as Voyageclan!

But before all that! Art fight!!
