Retired ChannelEdit: 15/02/2024: After a lot of consideration, I have come to the decision to cancel my Goosefeather project. I deeply apologize to the participants, this was not something I decided on lightly. When I return to Youtube, I want to find a rehost but currently I need a break from social media. I hope you all understand.

Hi everyone! I finally made another multi animator Project! Parts won't be chosen for a few days or so to give people a chance to join. This Multi Animator Project is featured on Goosefeather’s visions and how it affected him throughout the books, it also aims to show how many disturbing prophecies he saw. This project is a slight AU as I wanted to add a few sections that weren’t included in the book, which I always thought he most likely would have foreseen. For example, he is seen at medicine cat gatherings in Yellowfang’s Secret, so I like to think he would have seen Brokenkit/star as well alongside other future key events in the series.

I just wanted to say that I am incredibly grateful for all of the comments on this, I've read a lot of them and they mean so much to me! But I realized that it is better if I pause them for now. I will likely enable them again at some point, but they will remain this way while I'm on a hiatus for my mental health. Also, I recommend checking out my community and about sections for more information.
►Information
Hi everyone! Here is the final product. It's finally complete! Despite everything Yellowfang went through in her life, she endured and kept going, finding a new family (Cinderpelt and Fireheart) along the way.
This video is very sentimental to me as it helped me to get through a lot of difficult moments in my life and now it is complete it feels a little bittersweet; I finally accomplished creating a six minute short film but I also will no longer be working on it. But this just means I can hopefully make other things in the future if I decide to return to YouTube.
Thank you all so much for your support and kind comments on the trailer, I really hope you all enjoy the finished video. Not only is this a gift to my mum, but it is also a thank you to the Warriors Community!
This was animated entirely by myself. The cat and crow models were sculpted, textured and rigged by myself in Blender, for the textures I used copyright free images from Google and Substance Painter to edit their designs. The environment layout and lighting was arranged by me but the models for the trees and grass are from Botaniq and Bagapie. I highly recommend using them to create forests! This took me a little over three years to make. It was rendered on a 3060 TI and later on a 4090 which really helped to speed up the rendering process once I saved up money for it from a previous job I had.

Information:
Hi everyone! Here's a short AMV I made for a bit of stress relief. This was quickly made, so the animation isn't as cleaned up as I could make it, but I knew if I spent too much time nitpicking it, I would have never put it together, haha! So, yeah. This is a small remake of my old 2011 Ashfur Backstabber AMV. The premise is that Ashfur sees everyone around him as "backstabbers" when really, he's the one who is untrustworthy. Ashfur is a character that I have mixed feelings about, to be honest. but I find his arc quite interesting. Also, Squirrelflight is probably one of my favourite characters upon re-reading series three recently. She deserves so much better in the later books. I want to make a mini-project for her at some point.
If I had the time, I would love to make this into a full-three-minute project, but I'm trying to keep my focus on the current ongoing ones on my channel.
Also, I may consider making more of these short AMVs if people like them. They don't take as much time to make. This one only took me a week to animate in between my MA course. I finally handed in my final film for university, so I'll be job hunting, but I would like to continue working on animations for my channel, since I still enjoy making content for Warrior Cats, even all these years later. I hope you all enjoy this video!

#warriorcats #ashfur #squirrelflight #backstabber3D Tigerstar AMV | Land of Confusion (Updated Trailer)Retired Channel2022-08-05 | Information:
Hi everyone! Here's an updated trailer for my Tigerstar AMV made in blender. It's half way completed now so I'm considering doing a casting call once I've finished another minute of it. It's been pretty difficult juggling between work, personal life and this AMV but I'm determined to finish most of it before I begin my Animation Masters course in the middle of September.
Luckily, I've been learning a lot about Unreal Engine and blender during work, so I'm hoping I can figure out a way to speed up the process of animation and simulations.
My Yellowfang Somewhere Only We Know will be taking a bit longer since I'm going to be focussing more on making high quality animations for it, this Tigerstar video is mainly an experiment to see how much I can finish within a set time.

Hi everyone! I'll be streaming some my process in blender today. Please keep the chat polite, positive and refrain from using offensive language. Also, please don't ask me to join in multi animator projects, I'm a little busy at the moment. Thanks!
🌹 FAQ 🌹
► What's an animation library? It is a collection of animations I can reuse for my 3D models/rigs
► What program is this? It is Blender 3.2
► How long have you been an animator for? Around twelve years (I started animating when I was in year 6 at primary school), but I only started working with 3D at the end of 2019 and recently got lucky enough to work with a team of animators in the industry this year.
► What song is playing? For livestreams I usually play lofi remixes from my favourite games (Paper Mario, Okami, Animal Crossing) or generic copyright free music since Youtube is picky with audio.
►Will you make a YCH animation meme/amv? Yep! I plan on making a couple soon 👀
► When will [x] be finished? Although I'd love to give a deadline, I really can't say anymore. Since I have a job and am going back to study for a masters in animation in September, my schedule can be a bit all over the place.
► Can you make a tutorial for Blender? I'm planning on once I have finished the Tigerstar project, since I'll hopefully have more experience in modelling etc by then.
Hi everyone! So, this is all of the scrapped rendered shots of my Land of Confusion project. This is not an abandoned project, I decided to upload this since I will be replacing all of the old models with the new ones and correcting errors. I am aware that some of the animations in the non-rendered sections look clunky (the bits without hair particles), that's because they are still very much a work in progress.
Despite the fact the old models won't be being used, I hope you enjoy watching! I'll be uploading a new trailer for Yellowfang Somewhere Only We Know soon too, since I remade all of it with new models. Thank you for your support!

Hi everyone! Here's a showreel I put together of my work. Some sneak peaks of my Yellowfang and Tigerstar AMVs are in this, alongside never before shown snippets of animatics; which I have yet to decide on finishing. I'm hoping to find a job as a 3D artist soon that I can work remotely in (due to my disabilities) I'm on a bit of a break at the moment though, mainly focussing on writing my novel, since my mental health isn't a good place right now. But I will most likely return to Youtube with a few short animations as I work on my two main 3D projects.
I hope all of you are well and thank you for your support!
Hi everyone! Here's a remake of part 15 I made for Sadmachine's Tigerstar project. The first one was made last year and I wanted to use the models I created for the credits to keep Redtail's design consistent, since I no longer have access to the old Redtail model.
I hope you enjoy!

Hi everyone! Here's another teaser trailer for a Tigerstar AMV I'm working on! This will be finished before Somewhere Only We Know, since it is more of an experimental video using the denoiser in Blender Cycles. I have already finished half of this video, so it should be done by the end of this month. My hope is to finish Somewhere Only We Know at the end of January, but this isn't a confirmed deadline, just something I am wanting to work towards, haha. I hope you enjoy the trailer!

Song Land of Confusion by Hidden CitizensIvypool and Hawkfrost | Stripped (3D Warriors AMV)Retired Channel2021-01-20 | Information:
Hi everyone! This video took a bit longer than I thought it would, haha! But it's finally finished. I learnt so much about Blender and 3D modelling/rigging and animation while making this. I had so much fun creating this video and wanted to make it highlight how Ivypaw saw Hawkfrost as a friend while she was going through some struggles in the books, but then realizes, he is actually one of the main reasons of her jealousy over her sister's popularity.
She soon discovers that she has been being manipulated by Hawkfrost all along, even though she first believed she was being helped by Starclan, it turns out to be the opposite.
The butterflies in this are symbolic for how Hawkfrost concealed the truth from her, so when all of the butterflies are falling out of the sky at the end, it shows how she is finally able to see reality. Also, I chose this song since it is about not hiding behind a facade and showing your true self, I think that that theme is pretty fitting for how Hawkfrost taught her how to fight and let out all of her anger in the dark forest.
I hope you enjoy watching it!

Here's my first 3D multi animator project part, I'm super happy with how this turned out. Thank you for letting me join in, sad machine. You can view the project here: youtu.be/mOx1gsKdrjc I made revisions to Tigerstar's face since he was too emotive in the 2D sketches and I wanted him to look cold/callus or as if he is reserving his true nature. The host also wished for me to make him look blankly at Redtail, so I thought keeping his expressions consistent in each scene would work better.

#warriorcats #tigerstar #animation #multianimatorprojectSomewhere only we know | Yellowfang (Animatic)Retired Channel2019-07-02 | EDIT: 19/11/2021, Hello! So, I finally decided on making this project 3D, I was 50/50 on it for a while, but I'm having more fun with the 3D animation process and it's something I am hoping to go into for the industry, (I'd prefer doing 2D as a hobby tbh) so it's great to have 3D projects like these for a showreel to display my models and character acting. Also, 2D would take a lot longer, and I just don't have the time to draw every single frame, I'm working a part-time job and returning for a Masters animation course in 2022, so 3D is a good compromise for longer projects like this one.
EDIT: 27/10/2020 Hi all! I am hoping to start working on this again in December. Life has been a bit busy for me at the moment, and I have some PMVs and my multi animator project to finish before putting most of my time and energy into this video (since it will most likely take anywhere between 6 months to a year to finish as it will be 2D). I hope you understand, Thank you!
Information:
Hi everyone! This is the animatic to my old animated music video, Yellowfang Somewhere Only We Know. It took me a month to make this and I plan on finishing it sometime this year. I hope you like it!
Also, the walk cycle at the beginning of this animatic is a place holder, as I will be redoing it. Also, the finished animation will include voice acting. When I have completed most of it, I will do a casting call.
