In the Sand - Molemoon Warriors OC Animatic Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2023-03-09 | CW: Violence, blood, character death@galaxymew Gave me the idea with the song, and I was inspired to whip this out in a week :D What fun!This is an animatic for the Clangen story that Galaxy and I created on stream, which we are now calling Foxtide after our two Clans. You can see how this animatic came to be by watching us play the Warrior Cats Sim game Clangen!youtube.com/watch?v=s0YhChbKk7sThis is the backstory of Foxtide's main antagonist, Molemoon, the ex-leader of FoxClan. During his time as Molestar, his daughter Pearlkit became deathly ill - the only cure was a type of seaweed that grew on the rival TideClan's territory. So Molestar launched an attack on TideClan to steal the cure.During this battle, a TideClan warrior named Stripestrike accidentally killed Molestar's mate Nettleflower. And when FoxClan was driven back and returned home, Molestar arrived at camp to find his daughter had passed away while they were fighting.Overcome with rage and grief, Molestar blamed TideClan for the deaths of his mate and daughter, and vowed revenge. Unable to spur the weakened FoxClan into an all out war, he instead decided to give up his leadership and 9 lives, and left FoxClan. Now going by his warrior name Molemoon, he infiltrated TideClan with the hope of destroying it from within.In his time with TideClan, he grew close to a kit named Nacrekit, who had the same blue eyes as his daughter. He became her mentor when she was 6 moons old. He pulled her into his attempts at a coup, hoping to overthrow TideClan's leader - but the conspiracy was discovered. A fight broke out at the top of the cliffs, and it was Stripestrike who killed Molemoon by knocking him off the cliff onto the rocks below.His hunger for revenge, both against TideClan and against FoxClan for "abandoning" him, persisted long after his death however. Cats began reporting glimpses of the ex-leader hovering at the edge of FoxClan territory, or sneaking into the dreams of Nacrepaw and others...We'll be streaming again on Saturday, so come hang out with Galaxy and I as we figure out more of how Molemoon wreaks havoc on the coastal clans!Song: In the Sand by Tally Hall
Parting of the Sensory - Warrior Cats Ripplestar AU Animatic (collab with @Vampviz ) Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2024-11-09 | WARNING: Mild flashing and blood/animal death!Ashfur, and later Shadowsight, are sought out by a malevolent spirit. To their reflections he smiles, and promises to solve all their problems... but evil is lurking in the water.***WOOF this bad boy is finally available to watch!! Parting of the Sensory was a project @Vampviz came up with a couple years ago while I was boarding Next Up Forever. (If you haven't subbed Vampviz yet, do it!! They have amazing work!!) I loved their ideas for an AU revolving around Ripplestar, a niche Code-of-the-Clans Warriors character, and how his story could be woven into Shadowsight and Ashfur's. We decided to collab on a storyboard and host a MAP for it!As time went on, though, we both got too busy and the project ground to a halt. I still wanted to finish the storyboard though, even if we've had to put potential MAP planning on hold. There are so many shots that I had so much fun with, and I love how the whole animatic turned out!!We still might host it as a MAP eventually, but for now, enjoy the storyboard we worked so hard on. Vampviz did the first few shots, and we did the thumbnails for most of the video together. ***About the AU - it is about Ripplestar, a malevolent ex-leader who was killed by a bolt of lightning when he attacked the other Clans at a gathering. This bolt gave him the power to summon lightning - but it also trapped him in a liminal, underwater place, where he waited for cats he could manipulate into helping him. He wanted to return to the world of the living - by possessing the body of a Clan leader.When he met Ashpaw as an apprentice, he promised to make Squirrelpaw love him - if he only delivered up her father, Firestar. It takes years for the time to be right, but of course Ashfur tries to kill Firestar for him...and then Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight intervene.Later Ripplestar would try again with Shadowsight, who was tasked with healing the gravely ill Bramblestar. Ripplestar promised he could make Bramblestar well again, if only Shadowsight brought him to the water... and the desperate medicine cat felt it was his only option.In the end, both Ashfur and Shadowsight - each marked, cursed, and betrayed by Ripplestar - must team up to stop him.***Song: Parting of the Sensory by Modest MouseThis video was created using Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, and Vampviz's sections were made using Clip Studio Paint EX.

Sapstar and Nightroot - Warriors OC Animatic WIP Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2024-05-14 | I started this animatic awhile back and never finished it, so I figure I'd post the WIP.It's from mine and Galaxy's clangen stream The Hawk and the Bear, found here:youtube.com/watch?v=0yileJlDziMIt was a murder/mystery story, with detective Orchidhawk trying to find out why so many cats were showing up mauled. Turns out it was a bear - a were-bear, the leader of the other Clan, Sapstar. Her boyfriend, the medicine cat Nightroot, wasn't a fan of her murders - but loved her and feared her too much to stop her. He could at least try to get rid of the bodies for her, though. I really like the song and the visuals, so I hope to one day finish the video, but at least you can enjoy the start of it. ^^The song is Megalomaniac, by aeseaes. This was storyboarded in Toon Boom Storyboard Pro.

You Used To Be Nice - WarriorCats Fire Lilies AU Animatic Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2024-04-27 | HAPPY BIRTHDAY @LenisLynx !!!!Been seeing a lot of this audio running around of late. I had the idea to use it for Fire Lilies Fireheart as he talks to StarClan, and by extension, the Clans themselves. Things used to be nice... they used to make sense... then so much went wrong, so much happened that StarClan never predicted... maybe things weren't as nice as Fireheart thought they were.The StarClan cat Fireheart is talking to is Redtail, who is his spirit guide in this AU, but also is representing StarClan as an entity here. (Redtail is ashamed that he doesn't have better answers for Fireheart as to "why did this happen.")I will NEVER get tired of making animatics of LenisLynx's Fire Lilies AU, especially of showing Fireheart processing his religious and cultural trauma :') It hits fellas, it hits.Today is also LenisLynx's birthday so GO WISH THEM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYSCurrently you can't find a lot of Fire Lilies stuff, but LenisLynx is currently writing the fic! You can find the link below when it is posted. ^^Fire Lilies Fic: TBAFire Lilies Videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNx2p0zKwnympTIAkGDLSQ7Amn9svOVFiAudio is from Banshees of Inisherin, although I first got the meme from @Beinting 's Onestar and Firestar PMV (yay for Fireheart related angst!) youtube.com/watch?v=5NjUagUgXFICreated using Toon Boom Storyboard Pro

Cry - Osamu Tezuka Style OC MAP - Part 1 Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2024-03-03 | FINISHED MAP: youtu.be/ZNNFg2W-9SI?si=jEi8lmlnhnpfdHkuAfter my friend @PixylMawthz rehosted this MAP, I just had to snag a part! I love Osamu Tezuka's work, I need to watch more. But it was fun to re-imagine my characters in his signature style.Featuring Boughstar, my beloved extremely anxious made-leader-too-young character from mine and @galaxymew 's Clangen story "Foxtide". I wanted to animate a nice little moment when he was a baby, watching a seagull (before his leader abandons their Clan and the poor lad's life goes to heck.) Precious. I was originally going to animate him interacting with his childhood best friend Apricotkit, which is why she's got an Osamu-Tezuka-fied design, but decided to keep the animation simple due to Boughkit's complex design.MAP Call: youtube.com/watch?v=jSjjSZt-LQgFinished MAP: tbdSong is CRY by RITCHRD at the start, and the rest is Little Samba by Quincas MoreiraAnimation was done in Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, with some editing and fx using Premiere Elements.

Southern Star - WarriorCats Fire Lilies AU Animatic Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2023-12-31 | HAPPY NEW YEAR @LenisLynx !!!!"Fireheart first meets Scourge when hunting for herbs on the fringes of Twolegplace. When Scourge later falls ill, he remembers the strange forest cat who said he had herbs to cure sickness - so he has Fireheart taken to see him. Fireheart is at first unnerved by the small leader of BloodClan, but seeing him sick and pathetic makes his heart melt. The two strike up an unlikely friendship.Later Fireheart would have to rely on that friendship, when he, Bluestar, and Ravensong flee ThunderClan and Tigerstar. Scourge grants them sanctuary in BloodClan. But being in close proximity to Scourge in his role as leader of BloodClan, reveals a side to his friend that Fireheart was not fully aware of... and one he cannot condone."This is my secret santa gift for my dear friend Imber, who has helped me so much this year and been just an amazing friend :) I am absolutely in love with their Warriors AU "Fire Lilies", where Fireheart becomes a medicine cat, which I also did the animatic God Help the Outcasts for. This video takes place around the same time period (which is honestly a VERY small slice of the full story, I just happen to like that slice a lot lol.) I wanted to explore Fireheart and Scourge's friendship. They have a complicated relationship, as they stand at polar opposite ends of ideals, and yet see the other as their brother... Fireheart is Scourge's first glimpse into a life that ISN'T choked in blood and violence, and for the first time he starts to think things could be...different. Unfortunately he doesn't figure it out before he drives Fireheart away. (It's a vast simplification of how things ACTUALLY go down in the AU, but it makes for a good video.)I had been replaying this song and imagining this animatic for weeks before I was assigned Imber as my Secret Santee, and I just HAD to take the opportunity to speedrun a holiday animatic heh! Imber I hope you like it!!Currently you can't find a lot of Fire Lilies stuff, but there is a fic currently being written! You can find the link below when it is posted. ^^Fire Lilies Fic: TBAFire Lilies Videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNx2p0zKwnympTIAkGDLSQ7Amn9svOVFiThe song is Southern Star, by Gregory Alan Isakov - youtube.com/watch?v=NBRdmjfM0TcI made this video using Toon Boom Storyboard Pro.
Washington State - Sarah Sellers ft. Mr. Jeff (Lyric Video) Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2023-09-22 | I'll start with I'm not a singer, so I apologize for the roughness of my singing. I picked up the guitar a couple years ago. Tried to teach myself for a bit, then took lessons for a year. Those lessons morphed into me writing a song. This song.Something about a State I used to live in, something about a state I used to be in... something about transforming beyond the shells we used to call home, and longing for the simplicity of Before. But then you realize that Before was never simple. The Before you thought you had, never truly existed. Reconciling what you thought you had, with what you actually had, with what you have Now, and what you hope to have in the Future... it's a lot for a kid in a tree.I don't know if this will resonate with any of you, but I'm glad I wrote it, and glad I'm grappling with life and its complications. It beats the alternative.Big thanks to Mr. Jeff, who provided the guitar and other instruments in this piece, as well as teaching me enough about music theory for me to write this.Lyrics:There was a houseIn Washington stateWhere the leaves never changedAnd neither did IThere was a treeIn the backyardI’d climb to the topTo sit in the skyI’d sing to the neighbor’s dogAnd I’d pray to my parent’s godAnd safe in those branches it felt like They’d always be listeningWhen I singWhen I singBut the dog never movedAnd I moved awayFrom the house and the treeWhere I felt known and safeAnd the leaves won’t stop changingAnd neither can II don’t wanna go back there,But I still miss the skyThere is a house (A House isn’t home if I can’t stick around, )In Washington State (I could stay till the end but I’m scared of what comes)Where the leaves never died (When I’ve died will I think this was all a mistake)And neither will I (How will I know the answer until it’s too late)There is a tree (All these trees yet I can’t help but cling to the one)In the backyard (In the yard of the home that for years has been gone)I’ll climb to the top (At the top of that tree where I wanted to stay)I’ll sit in the sky (Now the sky’s moved a million miles away)I’ll sit in the sky (miles away)I’ll sit in the sky (miles away)Sit in the sky (miles away)I was a kidIn Washington stateThought I’d never changeBut changing is lifeThere’ll be more treesAnd there’s always backyardsSo I’ll climb all the sameUntil I reach the sky
God Help the Outcasts - WarriorCats Fire Lilies AU Animatic Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2023-09-17 | CW: This video includes a derogatory term for the Roma/Romani people. I do not support the usage of this word."Fireheart, Bluestar, and Ravensong have fled ThunderClan after the murder of Spottedleaf by Tigerstar. They have taken refuge in BloodClan, but Fireheart feels heartbroken, reeling from everything he has suddenly lost - his mentor Spottedleaf, his Clan, his life as a mender, his connection to StarClan. Here in the tangle of city streets he can barely see the stars, but still he beseeches them for answers - how did this happen? Why did they not warn him? Can't they see all these cats who are suffering? Can't they see him?StarClan doesn't answer. And Fireheart is left alone to grapple with the loss."*This is NOT from the Boon AU - no relation at all to our lad Boonstar and FireClan. It is, however, from probably my favorite Warriors AU of all time, Fire Lilies by @LenisLynx !! It's an AU where instead of becoming a warrior, Fireheart chooses to become a mender (medicine cats are called menders in the FL AU. ^^) It is very beautiful and Fire Lilies Fireheart is a soft squishy boy who I adore. (His journey and religious trauma also resonate deeply for me, and I put a lot of that into this animatic. :') ) This video is also my gift to LenisLynx because of all the incredible work they do for the Warrior Cats community and for my own projects. Next Up Forever is only happening because of them, and if you haven't subbed to them yet, please please do they are amazing.Currently you can't find a lot of Fire Lilies stuff, but there is a fic currently being written! You can find the link below when it is posted. ^^Fire Lilies Fic: TBAFire Lilies Videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNx2p0zKwnympTIAkGDLSQ7Amn9svOVFiI had the idea to do a video with this song and challenged myself to make something with it, even if it was rough, and not get noodly with the details. I failed on the getting noodly with the details part, BUT I'm happy with the end result, and I got it done in only a couple weeks! It also gave me a good excuse to learn more about animation layers in Storyboard Pro, and I gotta say I'm a fan.I used George Dempsey-Gidley's cover of the song, which of course the original belongs to Disney.youtube.com/watch?v=5eXLrwewRgAI made this video using Toon Boom Storyboard Pro.
Clangen with Rooke - Loner Challenge Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2023-08-09 | Edit:3:57:17 - Main Plot SummaryWow, that ended up being a great story! We had Burdockstar and Brightwave, the sole survivors of a great fire that destroyed both their clans (FrondClan and BogClan.) We have the villain Campion, who broke up MANY relationships in his time (although he WAS a good father, which is great because we love a villain with depth.) And we have a story about how, in the end, while we can't choose what happens to us - we can CHOOSE what happens to us, and choose to embrace the life we are given fully. -----Rooke here, playing some solo Clangen to try out the new update's features and to try the (appropriately named for a solo stream) Loner Challenge. I discovered the loner challenge from boomtowne, although I am unsure if they came up with it (you can find their challenge below.)Loner Challenge: We fill the clan with as many kits as we can to start, and then kill off all the adult characters. The orphaned kits must now rebuild their clan from the ground up, ideally with the help of whatever loners happen by. Let's see if the children survive.The layout and background of my stream was designed by the amazing Galaxymew, please check out their beautiful work!!And the music is from the game Night in the Woods.Boomtowne's Loner Challenge: youtube.com/watch?v=Y5JwAJPaJx0&t=2236sLayout by @galaxymew7109Music found here: youtube.com/watch?v=AsLKfqA73uEIf you like my stuff, uh, kofi maybe?ko-fi.com/dragonwolfrookeI am playing the amazing fan edit of Clangen by SableSteel, find it here!sablesteel.itch.io/clan-gen-fan-edit
Pokemon Infinite Fusion Co-Op - If One Faints They All Faint Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2023-07-27 | Me and Galaxy are back at it again, this time with Bubbles. And if you remember me from my NuzRooke days, then you recognize the hat and know that it IS a Pokemon reference haha!We are playing a Soul-locke of fan game Pokemon Infinite Fusion, where you can fuse Pokemon together with custom sprites! A Soul-locke is a playthrough of a Pokemon game using the following rules:1. Play the game with 2+ players at the same time2. Each Pokemon caught is "bound" to the Pokemon caught in the same area by your Co-op partners3. You can only catch the first 2 Pokemon encountered on each route, and they must be fused together to act as one Pokemon4. If a Pokemon faints, it dies, and its bound counterparts die as well. They cannot be used once dead.5. Bound Pokemon share the same nickname.6. You cannot catch duplicates of the same pokemon - BUT each Co-op partner CAN catch pokemon that another partner has caught.Let's see how well this goes!!WATCH GALAXY'S SIDE OF THE STREAM HERE:youtube.com/@galaxymewAnd Bubbles isn't streaming, but you can check out her channel here!youtube.com/channel/UCJ3lHwydM6y03ARhxQH3qnQIf you like my stuff, uh, kofi maybe?ko-fi.com/dragonwolfrookeWe are playing Pokemon Infinite Fusions, which can be found here!reddit.com/r/PokemonInfiniteFusion/comments/wydpah/game_download_and_other_important_linksAnd we used this free GBA model for our streaming setup, found here!sketchfab.com/3d-models/pokemon-cartridge-gameboy-7d79300f91a441d0ba520fdbd268aa5f
Clangen BurrowClan - The Murder of Moorstar Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2023-05-21 | Galaxy and Rooke, back at it again with a new Clangen stream! A little different one this time - unique setting, and we prepped beforehand lol.Meet the cats of BurrowClan! A mountain hills and fields clan, with a unique job situation - instead of just warriors, they have two roles. Dayrunners and nightstalkers. Dayrunners are the bigger, stronger cats, who protect the clan during the day from the aggressive eagles that prey upon them. Nightstalkers are the leaner, faster cats, who spend the night doing majority hunting for the Clan. (Galaxy's "clan" are the dayrunners - my "clan" are the nightstalkers!) These two roles keep the Clan safe and fed, but there is tension between them - Especially after their leader and deputy turn up murdered.After Moorstar and his deputy Vineivy were killed, StarClan chose two leaders - a dayrunner and a nightstalker - to lead the Clan. Now it is rife with whispers and conspiracy. The healers said a rogue killed Moorstar - but many cats believe it was one of their own...Let's find out together who killed Moorstar!We're on voice chat together, but if you go to @galaxymew7109 's channel then you can find the other half of the stream to watch.

Repeat Until Death Spiderleg MAP - Part 15 [Collab with @pasgeddi ] Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2022-10-30 | Finished MAP: youtu.be/WLZDgtH2vpQ?si=ecSGpYKM4aPtB3q1A sleepy morning with Daisy and Spiderleg, when things were good between them.This is a pretty simple MAP part, but it took a lot out of me due to me catching Covid midway through making it. Thankfully I'm feeling much better, and I was able to get it done!I wanted to try animating something at a lower frame rate. Honestly I really like the effect, I might do it more with other parts as well. Big thanks to @pasgeddi , both for storyboarding and hosting this beautiful MAP and for painting the background for my part! And thanks to my cats who modeled Daisy's big stretch.MAP CALL: youtube.com/watch?v=GJEEGxfNf6M&t=90sSong is Repeat Until Death, by Novo Amor. Animation was done in Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, with some fx done in Adobe Photoshop. Editing was done with Storyboard Pro and Windows Photo Video Editor. Someday I will be able to afford a better editing program haha.
StarClans Chosen MAP - Part 24b [collab with @NickieLimie @starcatgalactic @NiftySenpai ] Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2022-06-30 | FINISHED MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=CpYvOaiwAdAYellowfang accompanies Brokentail to the Moonstone to receive his 9 lives. She has regrets. I really wanted to push myself for this MAP part, because holy cow everyone, this is going to be THE coolest warriors multi animator project EVER. Every single animator is putting in their A-game and some of the parts leave my jaw on the floor. So I am immensely happy that I got to have a part, and I wanted to make it worth it! Which I feel I did. AND it got to be a part with Yellowfang, easily one of my favorite Warriors characters.Enormous thanks to everyone who helped me with this video!! @starcatgalactic for the original storyboards, @NiftySenpai for the gorgeous background paintings, @NickieLimie for the lovely lighting animation, and of course @Vampviz for helping me edit this video together with all the WIPs. I can't wait for everyone to see the finished MAP!!

Next Up Forever - Warrior Cats AU Animatic Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2022-05-03 | Edit: this animatic was made into a Multi Animator Project, see it here!youtube.com/watch?v=LmTVV8p2idYLet's gooooAbout this AU - it is a role swapping AU, of two of my favorite character foils in all of warrior cats - Rusty, and Tiny. Half brothers, and both kittypets who were offered different opportunities in life. I wanted to explore how each of them would make use of the other's opportunities. Tiny is given the opportunity to become a forest warrior cat, known as Tinyfrost; and Rusty, when driven off by Tigerclaw, becomes the leader of a clan of feral street cats - taking the name Boon. (Boon? Antonym of Scourge? Eh? Eh? XD)This video focuses on Boon's story and how he came to found FireClan, with the help of his friends Barley, Violet, and of course Yellowfang (who provided all the stories and training needed to found the Clan.) Someday I'd like to make other storyboards or other projects revolving around Tinyfrost's story, or other characters in this AU. I've spent a lot of time thinking about it and writing about it haha.I'm so happy with how this turned out. I used it as a chance to push my storyboarding work, and try out new techniques and tools I wasn't used to. I learned how to use Toon Boom Storyboard Pro's 3D tools (DEFINITELY want to use that more) as well as learning how to model in Blender! The background of the StarClan shot, the trees and rocks, I made using Blender's tree and rock generators. Once I figure out how to use Blender completely, my storyboards will be unstoppable! Hoohoo! But first I gotta juice up my computer, the poor thing was one heartbeat away from crashing when I tried to export this monster haha.Eventually I do plan to host a MAP (multi-animator-project) of this video, but I've got a lot of character designs, set designs and color palettes to figure out before that can happen. But keep an eye out for that! I just wanted to upload the finished storyboard anyway, because I am proud of it.Song: Next Up Forever, by AJRI made this video using Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, Blender, and Photoshop.
WindClan Apprentices MAP - Part 21 Storyboard Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2022-04-02 | I'm part of another Sad-Machine MAP, blessed :) This one a very sweet one about Breezepelt and his friends as kids. I really like how my storyboard for the part turned out, so y'all can enjoy it too.Featuring Harepaw and Antpaw, comforting an off-screen Breezepaw.

Hawkstorm AU Warriors MAP - Part 11 [for @CheetehZ] Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2022-03-27 | Brambleclaw is overjoyed to have found his long lost brother Hawkstorm - but Hawkstorm has mixed feelings about being home again.FINISHED MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=PyAVdjLwqqIThis part was a beast, and I collabed with some amazing artists to finish it! I did the rough animation and some of the inking and coloring, as you can see in the progress shots. @rookruff supplied the amazing inking for shot 1, the background for shot 1, and the GORGEOUS shading and editing of the whole part! @mobiusghost painted the lovely background for shot 2, and @sweetlittlelyre really pulled us over the finish line by coloring shot 1's inking. Thanks so much you guys!! The part turned out so good!!I really broke down how I animate with this part, and took the opportunity to stretch myself and refresh myself on the basics. Everything really IS a flour sack or a bouncing ball. And I had fun editing together a fancier MAP part video - I happened to have a lot more progress shots with this one, so I couldn't resist. The next-to-last progress video is Cheeteh's original storyboard, and the final drawing is a doodle I was using for cutoff prevention lol.Thanks @CheetehZ for such a cool MAP! This'll probably be the last MAP I join for a little while, since my free time has changed recently. I'm really glad this is the last one I got done. :)Hawkstorm MAP Call: youtube.com/watch?v=IsMnovyuoDgSong is God's Whisper by Raury.Animation Progression song is Lost and Found by Dan Lebowitz.Storyboard and animation done in Toon Boom Storyboard Pro.
StarClanTrials Warriors MAP - Outro Part C [for @RamKat17] Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2022-03-21 | Snowfur and the rest of StarClan bid Bluestar goodbye.I actually did pretty much this entire part in a day! The storyboard I did a month ago, and finally had the time and the energy to whip it out today. Fun fact, I don't have any good editing software at the moment, and I animate using a storyboarding tool, so I had to manually do the fades in and out for this part. As in I painstakingly, frame by frame, decreased the opacity. Someday I will be able to afford After Effects. Or Premiere. Or something, if y'all have recommendations.I also snuck my warrior cat-sona into the StarClan cats. Because why else have a warrior cat-sona?MAP Call video: youtube.com/watch?v=okqucabp2JoSong is Cosmic Love by Florence + The MachineStoryboarded in Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, painted and animated(?) in Photoshop, and "edited" in Storyboard Pro again.

Hawkstorm AU Warriors MAP - Part 11 WIP Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2022-03-15 | The finished part should be done in a few days, fingers crossed, since I'm collabing with a few lovely folks. I'm supplying the rough animation, which I finally finished and I'm very happy with!Featuring an overjoyed Brambleclaw reuniting with his lost brother Hawkstorm (the MAP combines the characters of Tawnypelt and Hawkfrost, it's a really fun concept.)

You Get Me Warriors MAP - Part 11 [For Sad-Machine] Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2022-02-09 | A Winnie-the-Pooh styled Mousefur and Longtail, being best buds and enjoying a lovely day together.FINISHED MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=QlmIsrCxqYgI tried some new things with this one - if it's not obvious, I put my emphasis on character designs and especially on background painting for this part, rather than animation. :) The MAP doesn't have a specific style guide, so Sad-Machine was kind enough to let me experiment! And for a MAP about friendship, something in the style of Winnie-the-Pooh seemed like a match made in heaven. (Plus I fell in love with the idea of Longtail with missing button eyes and a knotted rope tail.) Mimicking the style of inking and watercolor paint from Winnie-the-Pooh turned out to be a lot of fun as well, and I'm really happy with that tree!Big thanks to @frostewyrm - I had to finish this video yesterday due to other commitments, but was feeling like I was hit by a truck and barely able to draw or paint. Froste very kindly hopped in to finish up the coloring on the characters for me. Absolutely saved my life and this part.

Everlasting Night Warriors AU MAP - Part 18 [for Mossysprout, collab with @galaxymew] Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2021-12-20 | Sol hurries through an icy wasteland to find his old pal Midnight - but she is not who he remembers.FINISHED MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=XQ9ajiiY1ToOooh this one kicked my butt, but I'm so so happy with how it turned out. A collab between my buddy @galaxymew and I! I did the animation for the first two shots, and all the backgrounds; Galaxy did the animation for the final three shots, and all the effects work like the lighting and breath clouds. (She is very cool, check out her work.)What a fun AU and aesthetic! Man, animating those two shots near about killed me (I LOVE Sol's design but he is an ornery boy to animate, with all the different moving parts.) But I had fun figuring out how to animate heavy breathing or jumping down a pile of rocks. Which, painting that pile of rocks, was also a fun adventure to problem solve! In the end, I'm overwhelmingly happy with how it all came together, and I will refrain from being THIS ambitious until at least after the holidays. Haha.MAP call video: youtube.com/watch?v=yQUaOTOzXBc&t=0sSong is Lapse, by Black MathStoryboard and animation done in Toon Boom Storyboard Pro; backgrounds painted in Adobe Photoshop;
Closed: Tallstar MAP - Part 5 [for Chocobir] Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2021-11-27 | Little Tallstar, looking to show his Dad the cool puddle - and realizing his Dad has vanished.I love how the warriors community can take ideas from these books, and just...abstract the heck out of them, into such visually stunning ideas. Like taking the relationship between Tallstar and his father Sandgorse, and making an atmospheric surrealistic video set in Russian panel house landscapes! Absolutely incredible, and so much fun to work on. Thanks Chocobir!!Now on to the rest of the MAPs I gotta finish before Christmas. It's so nice having this small-scope, achievable projects to work on. Reasonable goalposts are the greatest! :DMAP call: youtube.com/watch?v=Cju0XngpHRU&t=41sSong is Closed, by PlenkaMade using Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, and Adobe Photoshop CC.

Land of All Warriors AU Map - Part 7 [For Glitch Sixxle] Sarah Sellers - DragonwolfRooke 2021-11-10 | **Note - MAP was cancelled, but I still like my part in it. ^^Ahhh it feels SO good to animate again! Thank you Glitch Sixxle for the opportunity to do so!This is my part for Glitch's apocalyptic warrior cats AU MAP - the characters shown are Barley and Ravenpaw, watching Purdy wandering past their barn. Check out the other parts for this MAP, it's going to be gorgeous when it's finished.I'm really pleased with how this part turned out. It feels good, to look back at my younger self who first learned to storyboard and animate by doing Warriors videos, and to see how far I've come since. I hope I can do more MAP parts moving forward, this was lots of fun!And big thanks to Chezorros, who helped me with the editing since my tools don't like to do parallax easily!
