Also if you see my art reposted and it's not under the name Fossilclaws (my main art handle), please shoot me a dm or anon ask. And also also, just to be completely crystal clear, this doesn't apply to my art being used as a pfp/etc with credit

Unfriendly reminder: do not repost my art ANYWHERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES without my permission. I have had this in my blog description since I started this blog, and I do not want my art on twitter/x/whatever if I can help it. I won't name names, but in the future this will be a block. Thanks

And all closed! Tysm for the interest, everyone!

And right off the heels of Adoptober, here is the first set of hopefully many collaborative adopt sheets with @harriertail! She designed the left three, and I designed the right three. This set is based off of geology/geological processes.

We're aiming to release collab adopts every month on the 15th, so look forward to that! We hope you enjoy!

Please read my rules here before adopting (applies only to adopts 2, 4, and 6).

Will you be doing any regular flatsale adopts anytime in the near-ish future? I know Adoptober must have been exhausting so I bet you'll be doing a break, but I'd love to know if I should keep a look out for anything more come this year!

Without spoiling toooooo much… Harrier and I have been talking about some things :3

I have to admit I wasn't the biggest fan of the preclaim process for the adoptober, mostly because it felt like I wasn't given a fighting chance at all to get anything at all. I'm not saying this to complain or bitch, mostly just Tossing My Onion out there, I'm not even that upset/mad! just like 😭 about missing out entirely!

I appreciate the feedback! Tbh I wasn’t the biggest fan either, mostly for logistical reasons. I liked knowing I had interest in the adopts ahead of time, which was the main motive on my part bc this was such a big undertaking. I needed that insurance or else I def would not have finished Adoptober at all. However, in practice it was really tedious updating three sites with “pending pre-claim,” “pre-claim fell through,” etc. every other day on several different posts, on top of the normal open/closed

That being said, I will be using a pre-claim system again for large-scale projects like this one (one is in the works with a friend o mine currently) but we’ll be handling it differently. An idea we’ve kicked around is showing the finished silhouettes of all the adopts in one sheet to pre-claim before revealing them all at once. We also discussed requiring payment up front for pre-claims. This def fixes the issues I had with it on my end, at least, and I imagine ppl will be more reticent to buy adopts before seeing em as well. That would probably even the odds a bit for ppl to claim em but they’re still gonna be first come first served. I’m not a super huge fan of otas or auctions

Sorry this got long, I’ve also been thinking about ways to improve it on my end and you gave me the chance to voice it LMAO but tldr: I’m sorry if anyone was disappointed by pre-claims. I will be doing it again for future projects in a hopefully more streamlined way after learning from Adoptober

However, if you don’t like dealing with pre-claims, I def have other options for you! My adopts in general are almost always normal flatsales and my customs are open indefinitely

[needlepine]

I loved your halloween adopts so much!! The ones I loved most were preclaimed, so if you do more themed cats in the future I'll definitely be looking! Keep up the wonderful work :)

This is so kind of you to say, tysm! I was honestly really blown away by just how many of them sold. I appreciate you and everyone else who showed interest and/or was able to purchase one of my designs :)

My brother in christ,

It always makes me laugh that the instant a post of mine breaches containment, the notes start becoming “omg this looks like warrior cats/is this warrior cats omg what a throwback” 😭

Where's 30 and 31 for the adoptober thingy

Just posted em :)

I was feeling sick on Halloween and also restarted this set after nearly being finished hahaaaa

The two scrapped adopts will make an appearance in the future, they just ended up deviating too much from the og themes

Days 30-31 of my Adoptober challenge! Ty for your patience, I was feeling under the weather on Halloween. Cannot BELIEVE I managed to complete this challenge (even if these last two were late). Thanks so much to everyone who followed along and purchased my designs! Check out the masterlist here!
