![[FINISHED] FROZEN HEART {Diamond Trial MAP Call}](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lVdzGWY7ck4/hqdefault.jpg "[FINISHED] FROZEN HEART {Diamond Trial MAP Call}
Please check out my Open MAPs playlist for other opportunities!
With Not Evil well underway, its time I host another MAP!
This MAP is one of a kind, focusing on the Diamond Trials of the seventh book of the Wings of Fire series, Winter Turning. Its a palette MAP with words, like a PMV, but its animated.
RULES:
General:
Format your part as usual, 1080p or above, up to 4K, widescreen.
Include the lyrics in your part, typed in white. Use either the font in the video or one thats similar, no hand-drawn lyrics. The one I used is Grind and Death: https://www.dafont.com/grindanddeath.font
Have animation in some way. You can tween stuff, but have actual animation somewhere, unless you puppet animate (like most of my videos); dont put in frame-by-frame if youd rather puppet it.
No program watermarks, personal watermarks or cutoffs. I will add watermarks.
Stick to the script. Try to keep the focus on Foeslayer, as if its being shown from her perspective, but told by the IceWings. Lipsync is appreciated!
Upon acceptance, you have one month to submit a WIP of any kind. You will have two months to complete your part. You must have a WIP in by one month or else you will be kicked, no exceptions. Extensions are available for the final part.
You cannot sign up as a backup until all parts are filled.
Style:
NEW EDIT: Do fire with mostly dark grays, maybe with some of the blue in the center.
Look at the video for examples, and PLEASE ASK if you have any questions. Make sure your program has a line tool before commenting.
All backgrounds/foregrounds (anything not dragons) must be drawn with the color palette, which is any shade of the color in the background of this vital reference image: http://bit.ly/FrozenHeartMAP
Draw all IceWings with the line tool of your art program. Try to use as little strokes as possible. Color the lines in a shade of the palette (experiment with clipped layers). No IceWing will have eyes. All must be colored in grayscale. DO NOT USE PURE WHITE. You can touch R254 G254 B254, but dont have 255 in any value. Queen Diamond has a crown, but no other jewelry.
Draw Foeslayer NORMALLY. No line tool. Remember that shes wearing silver cuffs on her BACK legs. Use this reference: https://www.deviantart.com/eidolonentropy/art/Foeslayer-Reference-801477929
Script:
Some parts have a general overview, some parts have specific things. Some parts have multiple things to them, pay attention to these!
1-2: Have footsteps on the beats. Show IceWings taking a chained Foeslayer into the Diamond Caves.
3: Have them throw her down on that hard beat. They remove the chains but leave the (enchanted) cuffs on her back legs.
3-4: Show Queen Diamond at some point.
4-5: Show Foeslayer deaths by Queen Diamond.
6-8: Show Diamond Trials. All IceWings are very prideful of what theyre doing.
9: Do a close up of Foeslayer, really showing just how exhausted she is.
10-13: Show Diamond Trials. Be very fast paced. Foeslayer has bouts of adrenaline and exhaustion.
14: Show Winter pointing the spear at Foeslayer, but not killing her. Winter breaks Foeslayers chains with frostbreath.
THUMBNAIL:
There is a thumbnail contest!
The only criteria are that it must follow the style rules of the MAP, however it can have shading and other effects. Do NOT put words on it. You can submit until the MAP closes.

![This Is Halloween - Halloween OC MAP - Part 13-14 [for Kofé]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m_1Bqvh54rA/hqdefault.jpg "This Is Halloween - Halloween OC MAP - Part 13-14 [for Kofé]
This is parts 13-14 for Kofés This Is Halloween MAP. My previously posted part was for part fourteen of Hollow Chusky05s This Is Halloween MAP. Ive reused that part within this part with no intent to disrespect either host. It appears there was a hosting conflict on Hollow Chusky05s MAP where another person animated the same part as mine. In reusing my part here, I have no problem with being dropped from that MAP to resolve the conflict.
Remember when I said [if] theres any MAP that uses a song of [Marilyn Mansons], I will join it immediately no questions asked ahah please point me to more I have no self control?
Yes, I found another. So what that its the same song, I dont care.
These parts were meant to take a few days until life got in the way and until I decided what Id do for the last sequence, which itself took a total of eight hours to draw for some reason.
This is done, half of both my other two Halloween MAP parts are done, I have a week to go, and somewhere in there I have to make a costume. Busy week ahead.
More Antediluvian content, and its not stopping. As I explained in a community post, I really enjoyed doing this part because its the style and mood that I love to create. These characters were invented so I can convey a bigger message with them, and its that kind of content I like to post in general, if that makes sense.
I havent finished the Toyhouse profile yet, you can read about Antediluvians a bit on my other TiH part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx624Bby1pY
They all have names now, all thats written down below.
Theres actually a boatload of lore in here.
Nonagons, enneagon, whatever you want to call them, are a pain to math out.
Apologies if this description is super incoherent. Its three in the morning again.
Special thanks to Vexium for more VEGAS tips/inspiration.
For Kofé;
The audio skips for one sixtieth of a second because of an editing error when I made the final export. Its all lined up, just one frame is muted.
Heres a download link for 4K 60fps. It expires in three days so please download it as soon as you read this. https://mab.to/pLzvQqbbO
Audio: This Is Halloween (by Marilyn Manson)
Characters (in clockwise order of the star, starting from the top): Vitriol, Voxel, Dogma, Àgogo, Atlas, Manson, Coma White, Anamnesis, Credo (Antediluvians are an original subspecies I own. My IP is not to be used without my permission)
