moon 0 - getting used to things around here

settling into a new territory isn't easy, but they're getting used to life as a clan :] also, i realized i don't want to upload them each as individual parts/strips and most likely won't unless a specific story thing is happening, so this moon is all combined in one update!

first next latest

individual cats below the cut :]

i'm so ready to see what these guys get up to, i'm attached to them all already :,]

next latest

[whisper-clangen]

so, it's been a while

roughly 7-ish months (oh my god?)

to keep it brief, dreamclan will not be continuing :[ i'm sorry. i'm so attached to the starting cats, but i got waaaay ahead of myself and completely burnt myself out. in better news, i will be starting over with a new clan, whisperclan! the blog name has already been changed to reflect the new start, and i already have the first lineup finished! that should be up in the next few days :]

for now, please enjoy the last wip (and a longer explanation, if you're interested) below the cut!

kitehiss's kits, and podfur keeping her company :,]

mantisclaw and weaselspot's warrior ceremony! this was my favorite collection to work on, i think it shows

finally, some miscellaneous stuff from the rest of the moon :] the new guy was coal

i'm sorry i dipped on this so suddenly, i got swamped with work, way ahead of myself in game progression (literally started year 4 right before i dipped), and because of a combination of those things i lost all steam and burnt myself out before i even had a chance to really get going :[

on top of that, i sustained a (random, unrelated) wrist injury around the same time and it just.....never got better. being chronically ill with no diagnosis is rad. i'm able to better manage it now with pain meds and anti-inflammatories, but it took me a long time to get here. my cat design skills have taken a hit but hopefully, with more practice, i'll get back to where i was :]

to keep from potentially boring you all away, my next post will be me starting over with a new clan that i'm very excited about! i haven't even started playing properly (still on moon 0 so i don't get too ahead of myself) but getting back into it has been so much fun! i'm going to try and pace myself better this time, so that might mean even more spread out uploads, but it's worth it to spend my spare time drawing cat drama :]

thank you for sticking around!

clan leadership - year 1

all of the cats of importance in Dreamclan and each of the neighboring clans, Asterclan, Whisperclan, and Ploverclan

small (unorganized) lore dump below

Goldstar and Lightsplinter are half sisters and are from a long line of leaders

Completely unrelated, Asterclan tends to favor having notable cats of the same lineage and are less open to outsiders joining their clan. They are not inhospitable, but any refuge they offer is very, very rarely a permanent invitation

Rowanstar has been leader the longest of any of them, and accordingly has the least remaining lives (a surprisingly high 6 left)

Whisperclan is a very harsh and disciplinarian clan, but they value their healers and mediators above all else. Their healers, mediators, elders, and permanent queens are nurtured and always treated with the utmost respect

Lilystar looks up to Pouncebat a lot

Asterclan and Whisperclan are the oldest of the four clans, and as such were the most immediately offput by Dreamclan's formation in their forest. Ploverclan, on the other hand, being a slightly younger clan themself, was a lot more inviting and has been helping Dreamclan set and enforce their borders

Whisperclan is the only one of the clans to maintain the rule against medicine cats having mates or litters, the rest have and enforce no such rule

Only Asterclan has a similar tradition: mates of impregnable healers in Asterclan must take a 6-moon long apprenticeship under their mate in the case that they have kits

Despite their clans' rivalry, Pouncebat and Pumpkinjoy are very close

Blackleaf is the oldest cat in Asterclan and is adamant that he will work until he dies and that he will not take an apprentice until he finds the perfect replacement

Whisperclan and Ploverclan each share borders with an additional clan, Tansyclan (irrelevant)

Ploverclan also borders an additional clan, Mallowclan (also irrelevant)

they've got a lot more lore i've brainstormed but it is Not At All coherent my bad

[whisper-clangen]

DREAMCLAN MOON 0 the starting group next recent

(more details n info below!)

i've never really drawn cats in any sort of form & my style n the designs of these cats will change and evolve over time

rules/settings include: - XP-based warrior promotions - mass extinction events ON - no unmated kits, pregnancy does NOT ignore biology - increased same-sex adoption ON - unknown second parent ON - no former mentors/apprentices and no first cousin romance - cats can choose to become mediators - trying to follow the leader's thoughts - apprentices (usually) go with mentors during patrols

i know some of these erins aren't exactly canon but idc idc idc i don't want infidelity in my silly cat game and i don't like mediator/apprentice relations TT

idk if anyone else is going 2 care about these guys but i already care so much so C: enjoy!
