HIII sorry I did that whole post explosion in December and then vanished for months, the new semester started, I have 3 studio classes and a lab science class and you can really tell H A
As thanks for your patience, do you all want to see some of my favorite future HopeClan cats? :3 I made these refs for Art Fight last year 'cause I couldn't wait for them to show up in comic to make their refs HAHA.
I consider Gold, Dark, Fog, and Parsley the main characters of Hopeclan!! I think I need just ONE more cat with a very specific requirement to complete the story but I didn't realize this until recently so I'll need to look through the logs to see if anyone fits the bill and if not I'll need to play forward just a TAD more.
Also yes, Fogtrot's name being one letter off from Foxtrot DOES infuriate me, why do you ask? HAHA.
I love Birdpelt so much they are THE angstiest of angsty teens with problems with authority ever. They don't have a big dramatic story. They just are grumpy and I love them for it.
If you watched my "Why are there so many ClanGen comics?" video you might remember me mentioning kits named Cloud and Cloudy and this is them!! You might also remember I said their story made me cry!
Watch out!
Also just for fun, I reopened the HopeClan save after like half a year of not touching it and here are some of the cats that I got emotional about seeing again!
Their names are Alexaears, Bitternest (formerly named Bitternnest but I changed it after realized I was saying it wrong for over two years of in-game time), Callistovalley, Endless, Flurryfoot, and Sparksprout (but not in that order, feel free to guess which one goes where. I think most of their appearance/name pairings will make you very happy and are easily guessable)
No I don't know why they are all like. The SAME color.
I know they'll probably come back eventually, but I hope Shellcurl will come back soon. I can't imagine the emotional toll it's taking on the two
TRULY!!! Especially Ghost who has always been really protective of Shell and is prone to getting in fights when she's feeling Bad Emotions. She's probably just been clawing up everything she sees that moves this whole time. And Shell..... well... you'll see the physical strain she's been putting herself through soon enough ToT
When I was playing I got increasingly desperate with each moon skip as the "search for" task failed over and over again when I was expecting her to be found in, like, 2 moons max. And then despite sending Ghost on border patrol after border patrol, no one NEW joined the clan either! The clan genuinely was so close to getting wiped out here ToT
Shellcurl was LOST lost and I was getting just worried as the characters were HAHA.
If When Ghoststar finally finds Shellcurl, are they gonna return to their old territory? Or will they stay closer to where Shell was, since it's so far away? (Actually wait do they even have their own territory- cause like they were both kids when they founded WovenClan...) Gcjvhchvjcuf sorry I don't think I'm explaining it well🫠 -
Ghoststar hasn't been straying too far outside the territory! She wants to stay put where she knows Shellcurl will try to return to so she always returns to the camp they set up at the end of the day!
They've been living in a cave in the woods since this is their official camp!! I've tried to draw the mouth of it in a few updates but it hasn't ever really been depicted well. Alas as this is a project that I make purely for fun and the first thing to go when I draw for fun is backgrounds HAHA
Oh lmao the only picture I have of the WovenClan camp is from before I booted all of the founders HAHA. Baby Ghost and Shell are in this picture! And you've met everyone else in this picture too through Ghoststar's leader ceremony and peeks at the local rogue groups! This is the only time you'll ever get a peek at Daisy and Privet's apprentice sprites since they're Ghost's age haha!
So I've been posting a lot of spoilery HopeClan art on @bookfangeek recently!
I don't want to make it too easy to find for people who don't want to know, but HopeClan has some events and characters I have been hyped for for well over a year!
If you want to see that, I highly encourage checking my art blog out! And if you aren't, then keep an eye out for future updates yippee!!
I'll reblog the art here when it's no longer spoilers!
Future (but not TOO future) character design below!
We had Bluetooth as one of the dead founders and now Alexaears as an actual cast member, how many tech referencing cats can I collect before this comic ends.
The first is that moon 9 is the last moon I have drawn out unfortunately!! I've been working on other art projects and haven't had time to do for-fun art in a week or so, I hope to do more soon :((
The second is that I will be temporarily turning on unknown parent litters because I am like 20 moons ahead and I am just NOT pulling any "new cat joins" patrols and I need to stabilize the clan ToT. I'll be turning it off again once I feel the clan is stable! (So like 1~2 litters max and/or enough new cats join that I feel like I don't need them!)
