Evil!Spottedleaf AU where Spottedleaf feels like she didn't deserve to die so early on and decides to meddle with the world of the living cats.
I really like AUs where a character changes alignments over time so here are my headcanons! c:

-

After dying and being bestowed with the task to keep guiding Fireheart, Spottedleaf finds herself swaying from StarClan by gradually becoming more disobedient and giving out false prophecies (eg. one that almost gets Bramblekit and Tawnykit killed). Eventually, they strip her of her status and kick her out.
During The Darkest Hour she thus becomes a rogue spirit who can walk on both StarClan and Dark Forest grounds.

Due to her wanting to protect Fireheart at all costs, though, she doesn't form an allegiance with Tigerstar and his goons and in fact tries to spoil their plans by """helping""" the living cats. She still sees herself as a StarClan cat at this point and claims that the other cats in StarClan are merely misguided (so some of her prophecies are actually helpful, as they are more direct - on the other side she clearly has favourites).
She's basically Fireheart/star's crazy stalker ex-crush who only has the best in mind for him (and only him!). This fixation often results into her causing bot indirect and direct harm to cats around him, such as Leafpool to whom she advises to 'do as her heart says', ofc thinking back to when she was still alive.
Leafpool, who doesn't realize Spottedleaf isn't a StarClan cat as she claims to be at this point, thus feels empowered in her decision to run away with Crowfeather only to return as soon as Midnight reveals to them that ThunderClan is under attack.

During Po3, her questionable behaviour leads to Firestar falling completely out of love with her and labeling her as "crazy", advising his kin to stay away from her if she approached them. This puts a strain on Spottedleaf's relationship with the living cats and she starts to become more malicious towards them, eventually motivating her to join Mapleshade's war against StarClan. Needless to say Tigerstar and his gang are thrilled to have her around. (Hawkfrost is terrified of her at this point.)

Dovepaw's and Tigerheart's as well as Brambleclaw's and Squirrellfight's relationships really amuse her as she can't imagine how both descendants of Tigerstar and Firestar could be together.

And ofc because of character development etc she dies saving Sandstorm from being murdered by Mapleshade in the final battle as an act of quick (or no) thinking and self-sacrifice for Firestar's happiness. I think it'd be interesting for her dying (as in: disappearing into the void) without fully realizing the extent of her mistakes because it'd raise questions like "Can she be forgiven anyway?" etc.

Uhh shoot me this was long

Enjoy! c:

Rewrite the Stars (part 14 wip)

KinpatsuCat 2018-05-20 | Second WIP Blixemi's Mothpool MAP! c:
I didn't change much aside from cleaning up the sketch hehe. (Also I haven't gotten around to clean cut the audio yet, so there's like a second before and after)

Still Broken MAP (part 9)

KinpatsuCat 2018-05-12 | For Meorron's awesome Still Broken: Jayfeather and Flametail PMV MAP!! It's still open, too, so go go goyoutube.com/watch?v=Q5thNlSGL2g

Ashfurs Death: The Aftermath (Speedpaint)

KinpatsuCat 2018-05-11 | Music: Touhouvania OST Stage 1

Speedpainting done for a soon-to-be-finished PMV! c:

Goodbye Moonmen PMV MAP (part 16)

KinpatsuCat 2018-05-07 | Short MAP part for a PMV OC MAP! Please let me know if anything needs to be changed n_n

3 more map wips

KinpatsuCat 2018-05-05 | (will eventually be unlisted)

Meeting some deadlines so here you go!! :D
The anatomy is still very wonky, especially in the first and second thing but I wanted to put my ideas down before I'm off to work. (I'm still job hunting for sth that pays minimum wage hehe)

1st is for Meorron's Still Broken PMV MAP!! Mhh I already have a pretty good idea what I wanna do altho I fear it'll be a bit similar to the Who We Are PMV part hjfkhf too much Ashfur. :D

2nd is for the War Of Hearts MAP I've already posted a storyboard of earlier!! I really liked the last scene of The Darkest Night and have wanted to draw/animate it for ages.

3rd is for an OC MAP and it's my OC as a furry + the my bf as a furry cause I can't draw people well enough.

Oleander: Warriors MAP (part 10)

KinpatsuCat 2018-05-02 | For this MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=RrCjACv8UKo :D

Already Gone: Warrior Cats MAP (part 11)

KinpatsuCat 2018-04-28 | For Jupi's Already Gone MAP!! I had a lot of fun with this even though the animation was a hell of work? ;v;

Floppy Ears [animation meme]

KinpatsuCat 2018-04-28 | Original: youtube.com/watch?v=65Xg6smam1M

Floppy ears meme with Moonpaw. (:
I've never done an animation meme before and wanted to give it a shot as it helps practicing animating certain movements hehe.

Already Gone WIP

KinpatsuCat 2018-04-23 | For Jupi's Already Gone MAP!
hjdsafkj I still have some details planned that I haven't added up until now ;v;

The blur is a wet eye/teary effect I wasn't able to pull off in WMM but hopefully will be able to in Lightworks.

3 more MAP part wips

KinpatsuCat 2018-04-22 | Currently making progress on these as well as the remaining parts! (Leafpool in Already Gone is now cryin heheh)

I also got a job as a bar keeper/waitress not too long ago + will have the hopefully last session of root canal therapy next week so I'm not joining any more maps until my schedule is balanced out again and I've completed the other parts. (:

Onto these!

The Mama Said MAP revolves around Moth(kit) and Hawk(kit) and isn't scripted. The part I got is a recurring one so instead of one of the instances where Sasha and her children face discrimination by eg. the farm cats I wanted to do the scene where Leopardstar's patrol takes them in. Blackclaw is the cat who protests (also in the manga, which I never read) but Leopardstar has a good soul and Hawk's appearance may or may not also subconsciously remind her of Tigerstar. Who knows huhu

Next is Northflower's Oleander MAP which I joied real fast and have made some decent progress so far I think?? The fur swaying animation will be fixed as soon as I have the time to get my hands on some good reference material mhh. Also I'm still unsure when to use the scene showing Snowfur's dead body in detail because intuitonally I'd say the first segment of the audio is a bit more powerful than the latter buut it's also nice to have a zoom-in effect sort of.
I also want a sort of sun-burning-down onto the asphalt subtle bg animation, I think?

Last is for Revert's Twisted MAP and some sketches are still very wonky! I'm fixing these up scene-by-scene. Also yes, Tigerstar can warp.

Rabbit Run: Warrior Cats OC MAP (part 5)

KinpatsuCat 2018-04-18 | For Cometts's Rabbit Run MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=BejMj22kF_M (:
I'm in love with the song hnnng thank you so much for accepting me into the MAP. ;v; I hope you like it!

-- for context, this is a scene from an RP with Ketzel99 (whom Clovepaw, the sneaky guy behind the tree, belongs to. Basically there is a deadly disease spreading through the canon clans and Barkpelt (the other cat) recieves a prophecy about where to find the medicine and that he has to go on a journey in order to do so. He is less than thrilled about the idea but also sees it as a oppurtunity to finally amount to something among his clan-mates who appear to feel kinda indifferent towards him.

Clovepaw, a young apprentice and local drama queen and attention seeker who wants (IS) the best warrior-to be, listens in on Barkpelt conversing with the clan leader and medicine cat and decides to lie about having had the same visions as Barkpelt so he can go with him and save the clans.

2 more map part WIPs

KinpatsuCat 2018-04-15 | Storyboards for Already Gone and Rabbit Run!

Gasoline: Mapleshade PMV MAP (part 4)

KinpatsuCat 2018-04-14 | Speedpaint of image in the last scene: youtube.com/watch?v=uIZQ8xX7czo

Dog Days: Bluestar Warriors MAP (outro)

KinpatsuCat 2018-04-13 | Here it is! I hope it looks acceptable ;v;
For BreezyBramble's Dog Days Bluestar MAP!!

I sorta have the hc where Oakheart, Redtail & Lionheart are buddies in StarClan.
Mosskit sat with her Dad here and was overjoyed to see her mom after all the years!

Dog Days: Bluestar MAP (outro) wip

KinpatsuCat 2018-04-10 | Second WIP for the Dog Days MAP!
I'll probably discard the shot of Thrushpelt, Sweetpaw and god knows whom and put them into one of the backgrounds? Also change the timing a bit

Run For Your Life MAP (part 10)

KinpatsuCat 2018-04-08 | For SleepTightNeko's OC MAP. (: If you need me to change anything hmu!

Since edgy characters were requested I dug out one of my OCs from 2011. This is - of course - the tragic scene where she becomes and orphan altho she's doing OK as a mindless(?) cyborg in the present. Her final design is also a lot different from this,, Enjoy?

Warriors MAP WIPs

KinpatsuCat 2018-04-06 | Wips of various MAPs I'm in!
You can tell, I haven't been animating and making storyboards for too long. xD' If you like, you can leave feedback here!
-

Yesterday Hawkfrost MAP:
Aaaa this one really frustrates me? Technically it's done but Lightworks is having huge issues processing the files making it a hellride to put it all together.

Run for your Life OC MAP:
Pretty short and straightforward. I want mommy's tail to make a circular motion to the top but I fear that's impossible just like that in Lightworks/Photoshop?

War Of Hearts Warriors MAP:
This is something I'm actually quite happy with?? It's with Needletail, Alderheart, Violetshine and a bunch of other cats during the last scene of the latest book.
I plan on using Gekko's

Warrior Cats Siblings PMV part 2

KinpatsuCat 2018-03-01 | PMV part for Donnegail's Siblings PMV: youtube.com/watch?v=vUCEfZk6j24 (: If you need me to change anything please tell me!

I wanted to do Mothwing and Hawkfrost.
This is ca. ~Twilight (probably earlier) when Hawkfrost is training in cat hell with the evil spirit of his dead father and his sister gets kinda worried about the way he sleeps (often also during the day).
In my head-canon she had a hunch something was off early on already but ofc didn't attribute it to supernatural causes.

Music: Pomme - Mon frère

Modern Love - Warrior Cats PMV (wip)

KinpatsuCat 2018-02-28 | 2nd WIP of the PMV I'm trying to make! I've never done one before but so far this has been lots of fun.
Sadly I didn't manage to properly format it. ;w; I'll see whether I can get my hands on proper software soon.

Warrior Cats PMV: Modern Love (Alderheart and Needletail) WIP

KinpatsuCat 2018-02-27 | This is my first PMV ever! After seeing all these wonderful MAP projects I wanted to give it a shot, too. (:
Since I've never done anything like this before criticism and/or tips would be very appreciated!
(I know the art style is a bit inconsistent. ;^; Idk how to stick to it send help.)

Starring Twigkit, Alderpaw and Needlepaw.
I haven't even thought about how to progress from here but if I were to plan it out completely, I'd probably make it Alderheart-focused with lots of one-sided crush/mourning scenes.
