FAQ
What's your deal
I go by Beetle and I use any pronouns, including neos :)
Do you have a posting schedule?
Yup! I post every Thursday and Sunday.
What game is this blog based on?
Clangen! It's a free, fan-run game loosely based on the Warrior Cats universe. For more information about it, head over to their tumblr, Official-Clangen
Can I trace your art for practice purposes?
Sure! And as long as you tag me and give me credit, I don't mind if you post it, either :)
What program/tablet do you use to draw?
The tablet I use is a HUION 420! Moons 1-335 were drawn on Krita, and moons 336-present are drawn on Clip Studio Paint :) I use the Milli Pen for most of my line art.
Do you have a preferred method for people to send in their fics?
Yes I do! Submissions are open on my blog for this very purpose. Send in your fic with the title of it as the header, and the rest of it under a readmore, to make it easier for people to scroll through my blog. Either that, or post it on ao3, and send me the link!
How do I send in art/fanfic if I want to remain on anon?
Submit it or send it in an ask as you normally would, and make a note for me to leave you on anon. I'll post it with credits to whatever name you want to use!
Do you allow your art to be used for other things? Profile pictures, RP, etc?
As long as credit is given and it's not for profit, sure!
Did you know your bio is spelled wrong?
Yes. It's a reference to a post I made when this blog was a lot younger! I was extremely tired at the time, and I didn't remember making it when I woke up, but it was funny enough that I made it my bio. Also it's true.
How do you keep the motivation for this blog?
I have autism

I've been thinking of redesigning Spiderhawk .... so heres her in a bunch of comic styles like I've been seeing other people do :^)
Comic credits, and additional notes, can be found below ↓
(BarnClan - Basically, this is a comic I have drawn pages for but Im still not sure I want to actually make. But some of the cats are barn cats so I decided she can be one of those, and she keeps her name. I chose a style I liked for it so I decided to throw this one in for fun.)
(Also while I'm here I guess I should mention Spiderstar's Web is what I named her story. This is just her in my style.)
PatFW ( @barrenclan ) - I have thoughts about Spiderhawk in a barrenclan/patfw au. At first I thought maybe she would be part of the clan then joined Defiance but I think it makes more sense for the opposite to happen. So, Spider Hawk :^) Shes a little extra torn up to show that off but this was mostly just for the style ,,, probably my favorite comic Ive read actually !! It was fun scrolling through the comic again to get an idea of the style.
@fallenclan - Fallenclan !!! I think this is might be the first Clangen blog I followed. I'm not sure I nailed down the way Beetle (comic author) does fur patterns, but I'm fairly fine with how the lineart came out. Also, I renamed her Spiderfoot because I am not sure -hawk is a suffix clangen uses?
Times Carcass ( @times-carcass ) - I was gonna do Meandering, but because all the rest of the styles would be warrior cats or at least feral cats, I decided to do this one instead. Basically, anthro Spider au :^) I lowkey think I didnt do a good job capturing the style, urgge oh well I think its good enough you can tell it was at least inspired by the style used in the comic.
Her name was my favorite to come up with.. I wanted to do something spider related but I couldnt find a good S name, and I wanted her initials to be SH. Cause warrior name. Anyway I settled on Scarlet because in her story, her kittypet name was Ruby. Scarlet, Ruby, close enough theyre both red. Her last name is less interesting, its just Hawk with an E.
@vespidclan - One of my favorite stories for sure. I love the use of the game code as a horror element... anyway, Hawkwasp :^) I changed her name entirely because "spider" is a fairly important name in the comic so I figured she needed something different. Spiderhawk's actual name is already a reference to the spider hawk wasp so I basically just shifted her name over a word, lol. Although I'm not sure I did a perfect job, I think I did decent replicating the style.
What Lurks Beneath ( @whatlurksbean ) - I like to try and keep the "left one place to join another" in Spider's lore, so I figure she'd maybe be one of the Daisys that joined The Family when it was offered. I was gonna call her Spiderfish, but since she would probably be a Daisy I decided to name her after a spider instead of a fish. I pondered a wasp name, but Tarantula seemed more fitting for a tropical island. Something about her looks kinda odd but I think its just because I didnt shade these and this comic usually has pretty heavy lighting conditions (something I love about it btw, I love the sunny scenes especially, they are absolutely gorgeous)
Our Clan ( @our-clangen ) - I was originally gonna give Spider a power of some sort but then I remembered that she joined BogClan as an adult and I would be carrying that across AUs where applicable. So no powers for this gal! If I were to give her something it'd be like. Spider fangs. Hence the name I gave her for this one. :^) I wish I had more to say abiut this one because I do enjoy the comic quite a bit but alas
Forget Me Not ( ComicFury ) - I have regretfully little to say about this one. I love the comic a Lot though. I'm also glad the style was kind of easy to replicate, as easy as it ever gets anyhows. The hardest part was trying to find a reference for how the comic artist (Nitteh) would draw scars 😭 I was rereading the comic to see if I could find an example but I lowkey forgot what I was doing halfway through and just read the comic again. This is also the first comic that I couldnt find a cat with 4 colors (the rest tended to have 3 max with the exception of extra white if the character has it), they all seem to be either 2 or 3 which is an issue for Spider, who is Famously 3 shades of brown + 1 shade of white. So I either break the design rules I observed or I just color her as if she'd been made for this comic specifically. Ive already been redesigning her for every comic, so the latter is is!
FlareClan Is Rotting ( @flareclan-is-rotting ) - You just gotta love a zombie story. Her name honestly couldve been left alone but Spiderbite was ironic enough that I thought it'd be funny. I again have little to say but I do want to mention how awesome the armor and weapons are. If I had room I would've designed Spider a kickass sword. Anyway, I knew going into this one that it would be difficult for me personally because I Never do lineless art like ever 😭 But honestly it wasnt as hard as I was worried itd be.
Saltburn's Clan ( ComicFury ) - I can't actually remember if there are any kittypets in sbc but I am pretty sure rogues/loners do exist (although they dont show up in the comic iirc? its been a while since i read the comic from the beginning), so I guess she'd come from there. I renamed her Tarantulahawk because it feels a little more specifically desert-y than Spiderhawk (also I couldnt do Hawkwasp because that cat already exists lol). I think shed end up in SaguaroClan because based on the map its the first clan a cat would encounter if they walked out of Vegas and just straight into the desert.
Waves Always Crash ( @wavesalwayscrash ) - I wish I had more to say about this one too, but I was head empty and tired of drawing at this point. I can talk about her name though! I know not everyone in the comic is named after a bird, but a not insignificant amount of the ones that we see are so that was the direction I took. I was gonna find like a spidery bird name, but I settled on Hawk instead. Its a bird, and they eat sparrows sometimes. Wink wink. Plus hawk appears in her normal name anyways. Anyhow, neat comic! While I'm here I can say: I love the backgrounds in this comic. They are so, so pretty.
I wanted to do more styles than this. The grid originally had 15 squares but I underestimated how hard it is to draw 15 headshots. I already respected comic artists for their dedication but I appreciate it even more now, thats a lot of drawing :'^)

Couldn't think of a better way to spend my day off than to try this out!!! It was a ton of fun; especially since I tried to stay as true to lineart and coloring styles as I could!
Yeah I'm a bandwagon-er I did that style challenge that's been going around! So many comics inspired me to do Direclan, so here's 12 that I thought had very distinctive artstyles :3
Thank you to @nimbusclan, @boughclan-clangen, @our-clangen, @ranchclan, @daisyclan, @vespidclan, @catsoftheparkclangen, @crystalline-clangen, @fallenclan, @aphidclan-clangen, @cutieclangen, and @hope-clan-chronicles for making cool comics with cool art styles! Go check them out right neowwww <3
Flowerstep from @fallenclan (the clangen blog that got me inspired to make my own!!)
Oakfall from @daisyclan (a really beautiful art style I'm excited to see more of! I got suggested Sunstar first but I had Oakfall in mind before I even asked for suggestions)
Flipkite from @murkclan-clangen (what a cute guy, I hope I did the ears alright)
Rattlepaw from @gloomclan (I'm impressed with how detailed the striping is!!)
Wingstar from @all-is-well-in-haven-colony (what a unique art style, I hope I did it justice)
Wolfpaw from @they-erased-windclan (so beautiful, I was blown away by Wolfpaw's prettiness!!)
Thank you to everyone who suggested these kitties, I had a lot of fun drawing them all!

Fallenclan originally went on a break because I was dealing with some personal stuff. That personal stuff has now long since been taken care of, no more issues, but I extended the break to allow myself some time over the holiday season, and during that time I came to realize that although I love Fallenclan, and I love having a daily art project to work on, I'm feeling a bit stifled with it. The story has been going on for so long now that it's difficult to insert a good storyline in a way that feels authentic and natural, and although I often find myself wanting to change things with the format or the art style, doing so in the middle of such a long-running comic feels like a weird choice that I don't want to make. I do find myself full of ideas for new comics, though, which I would like to follow. I don't have the time or energy to run more than one comic at the same time, though.
I haven't made any decisions yet, and I probably won't for a little while longer, but I'm interested to know what everyone thinks. If I did end Fallenclan, it probably wouldn't be permanent. Just a project I'd set to the side until it felt right to return, and I would work on new (also clangen!) projects in the meantime. Fallenclan is very dear to me, and I don't want to totally abandon it. I also know that a lot of people enjoy it, and I'd hate to take that away.
If a new clan did start, it would offer me a lot of room to try new things and challenge myself. I'd love to do more storylines like the Ravenstar arc, with the fresh canvas of a new clan, and I'd love to experiment with things like shading, backgrounds, more frequent comics, and no longer having cats that are just There and do nothing.
I've made a google form to test the waters and see how everyone is feeling! Again, no decisions have been made yet! Happy new year :)
