#update- comic page update

#dev log- usually worldbuilding, but it's just my process of thinking about a lot of different things.

#newtask- Newtclan related ask (asks are always open for any character, or even for myself about the comic! I encourage them, but I cannot guarantee I will always answer them)

#wtcask- asks that have to do with the WTC world in general!

#newtclan- anything Newtclan related!

#lore- lore about the clan, or the WTC world/culture!

#characterlore- this one speaks for itself

#reference- character reference sheets!

#writing- posts that are just writing

#others art- this speaks for itself

#not wtc- anything not related to wtc

#my fic- essentially the same tag as writing, but this is to differentiate if it's my writing or someone else's!

CWs- content warning for Canon typical warrior cats (violence, blood, death, kit death, war, etc), arguing, implied abuse, cursing, depression, grief, gore/blood, heavy gore, horror, and murder. Be aware of that when reading.

Most important cws are: cw: arguing, cw: aggressive animal, cw: gore, and cw: aggressive dog

Ask/Fanart policy: I love asks!! I absolutely encourage them!! about the characters, to me as the writer, and especially about the world in general!!! The same goes for fanart. And if you do make fanart and I don't see it, don't be afraid to DM me with the post! I never wanna miss anybodies art 🌟

Notes from the OP-

First and most important, this world does not behave like a normal warrior cats world. The spiritual system of this world is almost completely re-done, and it will be explained through lore posts or through the comic. There is also different vocabulary too. The most important new terms being the Helil and the Exiled. these are similar to Starclan and the Dark Forest, but definitely tweaked.

Second, expect to see the other clans in the area! I love my world and I want to show off every bit of it.

Third, there will be lore drops about the world in writing outside of the comic! this can be seen in wtc lore, or my dev logs!

300 follower design contest!

Thank you SO MUCH for 300 followers! I'm amazed and so incredibly happy! Thank you so much to everyone who's engaged in any way with this blog and thank you to all those who decided to give a follow! I love reading all your comments and tags and they always make my day! I'm so grateful for the community I've been able to find here, so thank you so much!

To celebrate, I'll be hosting a character design contest! There are two loners who join on moon 43, who I just have not really been able to visualize a design for TwT

They both appear pretty frequently throughout the moons too, so if your design wins, it'll appear a lot! :D

Rules under cut!

Plain sprites:

RULES

Feel free to only design one or to make a design for both!

You are not allowed to submit multiple designs of the same cat

Please submit a coloured full body drawing of the cat(s) you design!

To submit a design, you can send an ask, reblog this post or make a post and @ this blog! If you reblog or make a post, please tag with #murkcontest300

You don't need to be a follower to participate! Everyone is welcome!

I didn't really come up with backstories either, so if you want to come up with a little something for their past, go for it!

Please do not submit a design using picrews or bases

And obviously, this goes without saying but, NO GENERATIVE AI!!!

If you need clarifications on any of the rules, or have questions in general, feel free to ask! :D

THE CONTEST WILL END ON JULY 5TH (The date may be extended! I know for a lot of people, myself included, exams are approaching so I can definitely push the due date if needed!)

I will be choosing the winner for each cat based on design, not art skill level or art style! If your design doesn't win, feel free to do with it what you want! ^^

I'll draw the top 3 designs for each cat in my own style!

Good luck everyone!! I am looking forward to see everyone's entries! :D

Alr guys. Lets have a hard convo.

To put it shortly, WTC is now on indefinite hiatus.

There was a lot of things leading up to this tbh. On top of school, scholarships, and other responsibilities bogging me down, ive been deeply unsatisfied with essentially the first half of the comic. It's formatted poorly. conveys characters wrong. is essentially noncanon to everything post moon 6. And honestly I just don't have the motivation to fight it anymore.

I've thought about rebooting it, and I still might in the future! But for right now i want the time to explore other projects. Maybe make some shorter comics, maybe get more invested in other ocs, who knows! Either way I want to build up more experience before coming back to this (if i come back to this).

But never fear, I'm not gonna fall completely off the face of the earth! If you're not already following my main @catlatchis, i would suggest going and taking a look. Rn i mostly just reblog stuff, but youll probably see me post oc stuff and fanart! And if I ever make something that has to do with WTC then i'll reblog it here.

I'm sorry for setting this down so abruptly. I hope yall can forgive me. But i just wanna thank all of you guys for following on this ride, even if it is pausing for now<3 Just recently (its been like 3 months Im sorry TwT) we hit 333 followers, and even if i'm on hiatus, i still do want to host a celebration event! More on this in another post.

Again, I'm sorry for this. But I hope yall stick around to see what other things I make in the future<3
