Anemone MAP parts 21-23
updated
Basically, the world the dragons were originally living on was being completely destroyed, so using magic, a group of the last living dragons leap to a new world to make a new home. This video takes place after they’re already settled in a place and are infighting. Most of the problems come down to the decisions of the de facto leader (the blue dragon, I don’t have a name for him yet) so Vera decides to challenge his leadership.
But like I said this is basically just for practice, I’m currently in the process of redesigning Vera, she’s my main sona and the green dragon in this video. You can see what her old design looks like here- deviantart.com/verasaii/art/Veras-Reference-2019-801223534
I’ll make a new reference for her at some point in the future ^^

I was going to post this to my second channel, but do I like it a lot and it’s been a bit too long without an upload here. The main reason I was working on this was because the audio was just a short song clip from Twitter and not a full song, so it was short and not a lot of people knew about it. But since the full song came out I just have no motivation for it. Plus I’ve seen other people make their own versions of the same idea so it seems pointless to be making the same thing
Also, if you’re curious I have seen Dream SMP since it basically started. Although, I don’t really like it much anymore. It’s like watching a D&D campaign except there’s no DM and the players don’t care about anyone else, just making their own character the coolest ‘main’ character. It’s just a narrative mess tbh

~The pmv I'm working on is the continuation of the Coma Baby PMV
~Probably won't stream for too long this time
~All songs from this stream are sung by Mariana's Trench! I just really like them and its easy to just put on an album :) probably the Phantoms and Ever After albums

No mic this stream, just music :)
I'm drawing on Procreate and Live with StreamLabs OBS
This video is basically just doing what I was too afraid to do in 2017, no loop, 60 drawings. The designs here are much more accurate to what they’ll actually look like in comic too!

If you read this far into the description I’ll let you know that one of the secrets in this video is that whichever way a dragon is facing is their allegiance in the war. There are 2 other little things to notice in here but you’ll have to find them yourselves :D

Hawthorn is a very interesting villain I’ll definitely get around to making a PMV for him at some point. I also got a new editing program to use, still figuring it out but it definitely helped this map part look 200% better :D
Next video coming up pretty soon, it was supposed to be a 30k sub special but it’s fairly late at this point lol

I really wanted to take a break from all the PMVs I was working on and make a Speedpaint, as like a filler video? But then I ended up spending 12 HOURS drawing this. So much for an easy filler video lol
This is the new longest video on my channel... I have finally surpassed the ten minute mark!

Some of the timings are off but I could literally spend hours trying to fix it and I’m pretty happy with how this turned out overall. Didn’t mean for such a long gap between uploads but it just kinda happened. Hopefully I can find the inspiration to finish some map parts now that this is completed~
Also something that I’ve always wanted to get off my chest- Just because Icewings are white doesn’t mean they have to be all white. They can be blue, purple, whatever and still easily be recognized as pure Icewings. It really helps to differentiate dragons and makes more striking designs. I want to yeet all of those gross wiki designs with the awful grays straight into the Nightwing’s volcano lol.

This is the most effort I’ve ever put into animating a map part and it definitely shows. I haven’t worked on drawing anything else for the past two weeks, it has literally been just this.
I’m definitely gonna take a break from doing any crazy animation like this for a bit, I need to recharge with Speedpaints and PMVs lol

I think I did pretty good. I had a hard time finding good references for some of these but I tried to use at least 3 drawings for reference so I wasn’t just copying 1 drawing. You could tell when I switched references sometimes I’d just completely erase or redo sections.
I wanted to keep the people I chose as WoF youtubers but I also really wanted to try Bio’s art style and then I thought it would be a good idea to try the official wings of fire art so that’s what I did... it gave me more variety though so I’m not complaining

So what’s going on in this PMV?
The Queen of the Aeriis Kingdom finds an all white hatchling half buried in the snow and barely alive. She take the hatchling back to the mountains and on the way she has a dream/vision. The hatchling recalls what happened; Vitae dragons attacked her village and killed everyone. They chased her to a cliff and she fell off, they assumed she was dead from a fall that high but the snow cushioned the fall.
They make it back to the Kingdom and a Vitae healer comes to she if she’s injured and the hatchling freaks out. The Queen adopts her and learns the hatchlings name is Hera.
I’m not going to explain the dream because it’s a secret ;)
I am working on more Kingdoms PMVs and Animatics but it’s really hard to decide what I can show you guys and what is and isn’t too many spoilers-
I might make a sequel animatic that takes place right after this one but we’ll see...
If you want to know what Kingdoms is it’s a comic series I’m writing! You can start reading it here (I’m not very far into it yet)- deviantart.com/verasaii/art/Kingdoms-page-1-647606950
Also the style changes halfway through because the first half was drawn back in March 2018 almost exactly 2 years ago and the rest was finished up recently. There was such a big gap in time because I had actually canceled it, but I changed my mind and completed it.

~
Alright so I pretty much speedran making this PMV in two weeks, and only 8 days if I took out the days I didn’t work on it. The only parts that I had done before those two weeks was what was shown in the preview video. I’m glad it’s done though, definitely my favorite PMV that I’ve made so far!
Also I really enjoy drawing the Pantalan dragons, their designs are much nicer to draw, especially in this style. This was literally the first time I’ve ever drawn a LeafWing before lol

Song- Blue Lips by Regina Spector
Time taken- about 30 hours
Programs used- Procreate (drawing), Stop Motion Studio (editing)

#1 The Path to Isolation - Winter
A PMV focused on Winter and his search for his brother, Hailstorm. This one is the only PMV in this video that is going to be the entire song; a whole 4 minutes long. Really hope I finish this one.
#2 Set Fire to the Rain - Peril AU
About Peril’s relationship to Queen Scarlet after her conversation with Clay. The AU part isn’t showed here so I’m not gonna explain this one much.
#3 Blue Lips - Blue
Pretty much everything that happens in the Lost Continent book. Started this one back when the Lost Continent first came out. Unsure if I’ll finish this one but it fits perfectly.
#4 Loved - Arctic
About Prince Arctic’s relationship to his son, Darkstalker. Started working on this one recently but I’ve had the animatic for it sitting around for over a year.
#5 High Hopes - Sunny
All about everything Sunny. Been on and off working on this one since July 2018. Cancelled multiple times but I keep on working on it because it’s sooooo close to being done now.
Like I mentioned in the video I have way more PMVs in the works, including my various OCs, generally in the scripting and animatics/sketches phases.

-The Path to Isolation by Jeff Williams and Casey Lee Williams

Something a bit more experimental than what I usually do, but I think it’s nice to try out different things. You can definitely tell this started as simple drawings and got more complex and detailed as I went along. (Even more obvious when you compare the soulreader at the beginning and at the end.) I pretty much wanted the style to be entirely black and white except for the characters eyes, which was fine in the beginning but as I drew more characters, they became more detailed to tell who’s who. Which of course made this video take longer than expected to make but it was worth it I think?
Anyway...
I’ve definitely been putting off making a Darkstalker PMV since there’s already so many Darkstalker maps and videos out there; plus I have plans to make at least one or two more... it’s really hard to not make PMVs for this guy, literally every other song I like fits him so well. The next couple of PMVs I’m working on are characters that don’t get as much praise so y’all can look forward to that
I swear I don’t plan to post all my PMVs in the fall it just kinda happens

Programs used- Procreate (drawing), Cute Cut Pro (editing), Hyperspektiv (effects)
(edit Oct 13, 2019 - this video is back up now, i had to remove the audio since apparently it got claimed and blocked worldwide. Which really sucks because this video doesn't work well at all without the audio but I can't do anything about it... I'm not sure how long this video has been down for exactly but I know it has been a while.)
I don’t really like posting videos on kingdoms while the comic itself is on hiatus but I do love my dragon children and I may have recently started working on drawing more pages ~
Dragons in order of appearance-
Adder - male - tan and white with spots in the tan sections
Viper - female - dark brown with navy blue bands and white wings
Python - male - white with red-brown wings and spots
Hawke - male - tan and white with navy blue stripes
Robiin - female - light blue and white with brown stripes
Rhea - female - mostly white with pink stripes on tail and tips of her wings
Asteria - female - white and purple with red eyes
The Queen - female - entirely white with green eyes
All of these dragons are part of the Aeriis royal family, they’re all siblings with the Queen being their mother

Alright so this is never going to be finished. I started this animatic way back in May 2018 and then didn’t touch it for months. I sketched out the rest of it in January and that’s pretty much all I’ve done on it. I literally have no inspiration to work on this at all so I’ve decided to just post it unfinished.
I just have other PMVs and animatics that I’d much rather work on than this

Next upload is probably also going to be animation meme, featuring characters from my comic Kingdoms. After that expect some more MAP parts, maybe some Speedpaints and I have a couple of PMVs and animatics near completion! (Hopefully I’ll have at least two of them done by winter time!)

(Technically this is more of a PMV than an animation meme but oh well)
I started this in the spring however if we don’t count all the days I didn’t work on it, then it only took me about a week to actually make
~~~
Wow I procrastinated on every single part of this thing, I even procrastinated editing and writing this description... I started this project a full year ago and a lot of the art at the beginning was drawn last September. I gave up at around the 30 second mark and didn’t work on it until Spring and I’ve been working on it on and off since then. I’m not really proud of the final product, there’s a lot I could improve on but I’ve got other projects that I’m more excited to finish than to redo this
The “I’m a fraud I’m an imposter” parts might be a bit confusing so here’s what’s happening in those frames - Chameleon is spying on the talons of peace as Cirrus and is talking to Scarlet, the last one is him as Shapeshifter hitting Kinkajou
Song- Jekyll & Hyde by Jonathan Thulin
~~~
So I finally figured out how to get my editing program (cute cut pro) working and I should hopefully be able to use it for my future map parts~
Map- youtube.com/watch?v=73CsRuMyqNs
When you first do your part with the green statue because it wasn’t included in the references (or at least I didn’t see it) and that’s how it’s described in the book but then the parts before and after you both have a grey statue and you have to recolor the frames :/ oh well at least it’s correct now

I have this feeling that everyone else is going to use WoF dragons but OH WELL
Now I might be able to work on some PMVs ~

Hey it’s a meme featuring the cast of Kingdoms, my comic series! You can start reading it here- icewing24.deviantart.com/art/Kingdoms-page-1-647606950
I started this way back in June, working on it in between my other projects. I wanted to try drawing as many of the characters as I could, even the ones that didn’t have a design yet. There are more characters that I could’ve added but that might’ve killed me so yeah. There’s a grand total of 25 separate characters in this and 30 drawings (not including the intro and the last one). The designs in this aren’t final though, since It’s pretty likely that I’m going to change them.
I would list out the names of the characters buuuuut a lot of them don’t have final names yet :/
The original meme was deleted but mine was inspired by LadyTeelia’s version - youtube.com/watch?v=bwTJKAN58lY
I'm already at 2k subs and I'm trying to put together a video to celebrate it, but the number just gets bigger and bigger... I'm probably gonna do a wips video since I've got a lot of things I'm working on right now. :)
