OvenCatWowie. After Art Fight and a bunch of animating I was pretty burnt out but still wanted to do something. The idea for this PMV came to mind and so I went with it! It was a nice break and I thoroughly enjoyed experimenting more with After Effects (mostly just keyframe/tweening and using the 3D camera).
This PMV follows Swiftpaw from Warriors! It doesn't fully cover everything, mostly just his life growing up to being an apprentice, annoyed that his warrior ceremony was delayed continuously, the dogs, and a little bit of the aftermath. I have a small AU with Longtail, his mentor, but I felt like the tone with the song better matched Swiftpaw. On another note I like to think they're unofficial half brothers.
The absolutely amazing thumbnail was done by my good friend Abby!! She graciously offered to do it for me and it's spectacular! You can find her on Instagram at bristlefr0st and she also runs the warriorcats._.confessions account.

Some inspiration came from the I'm Not Ready Swiftpaw Map: youtu.be/b2El99FYO6Y (overall a great project)

I love this Swiftpaw design and had to apply for a part. I was really happy to be a part of it! MAP: youtu.be/HMJrlEYgwn4 Go checkout the first part too: youtu.be/DpIFCrRVzaE
If you're wondering where I've been, I graduated college and am now working fulltime in the gaming industry as a tech artist :) It's eaten up a lot of my time and motivation but I'm having a lot of fun! Still won't stop me from drawing funny cats every now and then.U Got That | ArtFight AttackOvenCat2022-07-26 | Wooooooooo just one for fun~ ALSO!!! IF YOU HAVEN'T READ King of Hearts PLEASE DO!!! You'll see this cat man and many others! deviantart.com/b00nafide/gallery/61674037/koh-comic

Sometimes I really like After Effects, other times I want to strangle it.
Mainly inspired by these two videos: youtu.be/-bcYJEAJYKU youtu.be/w7bOHNYDBWo and here's the song: youtu.be/3xzlURURGEMWe Three Kings | Part 22OvenCat2021-12-19 | I don't get to do 2D animation as often anymore, but heck I can't resist some of my favorite warrior cats.
Special thanks to @OFUKITTY for doing the second background for me!
Y'all better behave when this map is done or I swear. I did not spend hours working on this part for there to be drama, just enjoy some cats singing.Hey Kids | Art Fight AttackOvenCat2021-07-27 | YEEHAW! Art Fight is an annual art competition where you can draw other people's characters to earn points for your own team. This is an attack for Boon! artfight.net/attack/2556880.hey-kids-video
I know this song has been used for animation memes and mine is sorta in the meme format but I wasn't inspired by any particular meme :'0
Programs used: Toon Boom Harmony Essentials (animation) Painttool Sai 2/Photoshop (backgrounds) After Effects (editing/compositing)Two Backup Parts | WITF & SNAOvenCat2021-01-21 | yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyooooo More work in After Effects and man am I still scratching the surface to what I can do. The second part is where I started experimenting with some effects though there's still a lot to try out. AE is probably the only Adobe product I actually like.
Where Is The Fun? (part 4) MAP Call (unfinished): youtu.be/0b6QWqcHl1M Just some good ol' warrior cats. It was neat to try out pre-comps for each shot but slowly became more work than what it's worth, or at least how I set it up. I really love the designs made for the map and keeping them on model was a fun challenge!
Seven Nation Army (part 13) MAP Call (unfinished): youtu.be/jzJApWBlAoE Taking what I learned from the previous part, I kept things sorta simple. The two cats are Blizzardstar and Addersun. They're technically warrior ocs but the worldbuilding around them and others deviate pretty greatly from mainline warriors. Overly simplistic explanation of what's going on: Blizzard found out Adder was doing bad things, called him out for it. Adder, feeling both guilt and anger, turns his back on the leader only for them to attack Adder to set an example (Blizzard's main method of keeping control is through fear and intimidation). All the other cats are watching too but I couldn't fit them in :'0
That's about it, yeet BG music is Amity Square from Pokemon D/P/PSweeney Todd AU | Part 2OvenCat2020-08-01 | Whew! My plan wasn't to fully get back into maps but I really like animating and warrior maps are pretty cool. Plus I've been wanting more stuff for future reels and just for the fun of it.
Excuse the crummy quality, for whatever reason the initial render came out really choppy? However that's only a problem for this video, the actual part is just fine.

That's about all from me, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeInterlude | Parts 1 & 2OvenCat2020-06-29 | Wowie, I kinda miss doing these bite size animations! I won't say I'm diving back into MAPs, I'll do the occasional one if it piques my interest.
I added in the two WIPs I sent to the discord 'cause I know I'm a sucker for behind the scenes. The MAP already has a storyboard so my animatic was just to lay out some movements (and animate I guess??). I would have done one for the keyframes/lining process but man I just jump into color since it's so easy aaaa.
Programs Used: Toon Boom Harmony (animation) Sony Vegas Pro 13 (editing)Flipnote Animation DumpOvenCat2019-08-06 | Couple of animations I had on my 3Ds from Flipnote Studio 3D!
Background music is: Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 1 am
Tidbits on each animation
1. This one is by far the oldest and was done a little over a year ago. I was at a huge dinner event at church and I wanted to animate something silly to pass the time. I have fond memories of it.
2. I went through a short period of animating Toy Bonnie from FNAF, there was another animation with him to the "hit or miss" song, but for whatever reason it didn't export properly. This animations that did make it was a test of putting small motions into a simple animation (the head shake). It was fun to do!
3. More recent one. I had been watching a ton of pencil tests and flipping through some Disney animations trying to see how I can improve my usage of inbetweens. I think the key is to draw a ton of frames and just never have the drawings pause... maybe, but that's a lot of work w he e ze
4. For awhile now I had this concept of a Charmander walking around in a circle. This test more revolved around keyframing his steps and how inbetweens would look with his legs and tail. A lot more motion would be added to the top half to give the illusion of weight as he swings each leg up.
That's about all :0Moestep | MemeOvenCat2019-05-29 | Finally finished this, whew! I had it nearly complete a couple weeks ago but lost motivation again so I pushed through till the end.
This was an experimental animation to challenge myself, well, animation wise. I used the base of an animation meme just to it would be a little easier (didn't really work, but hey it's still cute
I had made this little sweet shop Christmas-eve and built up the animation around it. The really excited cat is my character, Leo. The other worker cat is some random dude, poor guy.
While I did use the original meme's base idea, the rest of this animation is my own, original work. Please do not make a carbon copy of it.

I think I had the most fun drawing Drex (brown and yellow doggo) and tweening the words.
Commissions of all kinds are closed right now, and I'm deciding if I'll continue meme commissions or not. ( I have one other one to make)
I haven't been able to get stuff out on here because videos take time to make and life.

So yep, tis my special day today, bUT then it's my friend Ray's(royal.chimera) birthday tomorrow!! Mine's the 19th and hers is the 20th.
There are some technical errors in the vid, I was a bit rushed and it was my first time doing something this elaborate. My character is on the left (Leo) and then Ray's on the right (also named Ray, and with Ross the adorable snake tail).
Thank you all in advance for the birthday wishes! I've received many gifts from my friends and I love them all.
Art and animation was done in Toon Boom Video was edited in Sony Vegas
Original meme: youtube.com/watch?v=9pYHQ4XnhGU I know I caved into doing a full blown meme, pls forgive me these will be rare and few ;w;2016 Animation ReelOvenCat2016-12-29 | I was afraid I wasn't going to have enough animations to fill an entire song... bOY WAS I WRONG.
Anyway, This year has truly been an amazing year for my channel. Going from under 100 subs at the start of the year to now being at over 640 subs is incredible! Plus I got to meet so many other people and improve my art and animation.
It's been fun and I hope to continue growing this coming year, even if I may not do anymore map parts. I plan on moving to bigger things.
Unfortunately I didn't get to add all of my animations and stuff in this video, I had some complications and then had to make it all on moviemaker, which is why the animations kinda jump to another frame to jump to a different one.

EAT FOOD YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFallWind || MEME (original)OvenCat2016-08-09 | This is my meme now, even if someone already made a meme with this song. It Is Minee. ------ *Edit: If you do make one don't forget to give credit and link back to this video! Also tell me so I can see it's wonderfulness~ ----
In celebration of getting over 200 subs I sketched up the dancing cat. Everything else was drawn later (which is why dancing cat doesn't have a crown). THAN SCHOOL STARTED and I was delayed on uploading this ;n;
but it's up now, so enjoy~ ---------
Song: Windfall by TheFatRat (his music is so gooood) youtube.com/watch?v=jqkPqfOFmbYThanks for 100 subs!OvenCat2016-07-09 | So help me I just found out there was already a meme with this song... WELP :')
The animation looks choppy, I had to do it like 3 times over. I need to work on keeping the lines and fur consistent...
Now onto the real reason I made this. I reached over 100 subs! Thank you so much I'm so glad all of you subscribed. I had this idea in my head for a while too.
