Children of the Sky | Sketch Animation

Xenomane 2024-07-03 | A limited animation sketch for my friend Vos' map, Children of the Sky.
I hardly ever draw humans/humanoids, much less animate them; or furries for that matter, so this was quite the learning curve (and one of the reasons it's so messy)
Was certainly nice to animate something other than cats for a change :]

The winged tiefling is a character called Metel, belonging to Vos' cousin
The green fox is Vos
The black snep wolf is me

Btw no the channel is not dead
And yes I do plan on finishing my maps such as Brother and Masochist. It will happen. One day.
Not to mention other projects I'm planning (Or perhaps already in the works..?)
If you read this far, thank you for caring (also why are you here)

Embers From Ashes | Blackfire AU Animatic

Xenomane 2024-02-22 | To anyone who doesn't know what EFA is:
Hello. Yes, these characters are Blackstar and Firestar. Yes, there's a reason for that. Somehow.
(EFA is an AU story. You can check it out here if this has miraculously interested you: archiveofourown.org/works/39947328/chapters/100610778)

To those who do know:
This is a gift for you. I hope you enjoy.
Granted its shorter than the kind of animatic my younger self would've wanted me to make, but I think using the chapter art was a genius idea, if I do say so myself... (I hope you're not feeling cheated. It did take me a week to draw the new frames in this ;w;)
Thank you guys for supporting this story I started writing when I was 15 and for some reason actually finished it. (That reason was you.)

The music in this video is by a wonderfully talented chap called Keaton Henson, and this happens to be one of my favourite songs.
I'm aware the lyrics are a bit different if you search them up on google, but this is another version of the lyircs I found; "reaper" instead of "rebirth", "noose babe" instead of "new spade" (which, seriously, makes no sense at all). I've no clue which lyrics are correct, different sources say different things, I just prefer this version.

In terms of a general update, yes my upload schedule died once again, but I do have more animations to make so hopefully I'll be posting more soon :]

That's all, thanks for watching and reading.

Brother Brambleclaw MAP - Wips and Collabs

Xenomane 2023-12-13 | These are all varying levels of old. In fact the only bit of this video that wasn't made over a year ago is the finished bits of part 14 (which I finished up today.)

If you'd like to see more (new) progress on this map, check out the finished intro :]
youtube.com/watch?v=HVv7oafE5GM

All art is mine, dating back to March 2022 (I think)
Music is by Matt Corby.

A Light In The Mist Finale MAP | Part 23

Xenomane 2023-12-07 | Finally finished my part for Theatricals ALITM au map, which focuses on the final scene between the three protagonists and the dark forest cats.
Character in my part is Rootspring.

Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=OoqDf0l5FDU
This is a huge project and there are plenty of open parts, so go check it out!

Time taken: 100 hours in total
Over half that time was spent on the third shot ;-;
Apps used: Ibis Paint and Microsoft Clipchamp

Tip for Ibis Paint Animation users - split your animation up into different canvases. Or you will suffer. Painfully.
(Might just be a problem with my chromebook tbh)

Music
- "Finale" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical Recording
- "The Very Thought Of You" by Al Bowly with the Ray Noble orchestra

Brother MAP | Intro A

Xenomane 2023-11-26 | I have full confidence this map will prevail as there are only 7 parts unfinished B]
But also
One of mine is 30 seconds long and I want to redo the ugly old sketch. So don't hold your breath.

The intro actually had 3 sketches but I thought I'd have a little mercy and not show you the 2021 sketch. Your eyes don't need to bleed today.

Finished Map; To Be Added

Hello folks. For last year's halloween, I made a part for McCake's "Aishite" Ashfur map, and this map is the sequel :]
Check out the Aishite MAP here - youtube.com/watch?v=0-dnprI7pW0&t=295s

Sorry this is a bit late, but at least I remembered to post something!
This part was a quick bit of halloween fun, so it's nothing incredible, just a bit of spookiness. But I did try some new effects and editing things, at least.
Btw, I'm hoping to get back to a weekly schedule :0 but will have to see how I'll manage. Likes, comments or any form of support is much appreciated :]

Scrawny! | Gift MAP for @Kodiac182 :]

Xenomane 2023-11-06 | What's this? Another map for Neptune? Why yes of course!
Neppers has been away for a while in the hopes they could return to discord after turning 18. And today is that day, so we've made a welcome back / birthday gift map using the song Scrawny by Wallows :]

Nep, if you're reading this, happy birthday mate. Also, before you stress, we had lots of fun working on this! We're very glad if you're getting to see it.

Xenomane 2023-07-20 | The Hall of Fame MAP is complete!
My friend Fighterwolf came up with this idea, so me and a couple other friends helped him host it. This map was just a fun lil project, so it was quite loosely directed and scripted to give participants the opportunity to be creative with their parts and have fun!

Thanks to everyone who joined for getting this finished, and I hope you all enjoyed it :]

There is actually no parts playlist (not many uploaded their parts to youtube), but you can check out all the participants channels below.

Sorry it's been a while folks, but this is something I've been working on and it's finally done. It's not perfect, ofc, but after reattempting the backgrounds and shading so many times, I'm just gonna leave it how it is.

Inspiration: youtube.com/watch?v=akdkcoR-Wz8
I really wanted to practice a 3/4 walk cycle with my bramble design, and this video was a great help!

ANYWAYS this is a part for Makecake's halloween map! I'm gonna be collaborating with Simplearcticfoxes for this part.

Ik this is pretty terrible quality, this was a very quick wip. I promise more is coming soon

Xenomane 2022-04-05 | SORRY FOR THE REUPLOAD one of the wips' audio hadn't exported properly

These wips are rubbish ik
They're just sketches which is why. I wasn't even trying when I made the third one haha
Also I know I said I probs won't finish the Float animatic but I might, idk

It Took Me By Surprise | Squirrelflight AU map Part 9

Xenomane 2022-03-19 | Whats this? Two uploads in one go??
Anyways yes I took a part of this map a while ago and recently noticed one part was open so I thought, why not take it and get it finished?

LINK BELOW IS TO THE FINISHED MAP!! All the participants did so good, please check it out!
youtube.com/watch?v=IgEq68MNa_I

Also here's a link to my other part for this map if you wanna see it (it's old now): youtube.com/watch?v=7ibnhTH1fKo

-

This part is a lot better than my other one for this map lol but nvm. I quite enjoyed making it and it was fun getting creative with the last two shots. I was trying to imply who Bramble really was beneath the surface; something only Squirrelflight can see. Also the last shot is to signify the power he now has over her.
This is very subtle but I also tried to make Firestar's expression like he's a little unsure of his decision (as in this au Bramble is evil), but idk if you can really tell lol

Anyways thanks for checkin out my video :)

Hey guys, sorry this is a bit trashy, I'm working on multiple things at once rn but I made this quick just to get something out. This is a (currently) roughly planned warriors au, I might make a map with it? But if I do it wouldn't be for a while.

OH BTW I'VE REALLY NEARLY REACHED 300 SUBSCRIBERS?? SERIOUSLY GUYS THANK YOU!!! I cannot believe how much my channel has grown holy heck, it feels like yesterday when I was celebrating 150 T0T

LettuceBettuce (host): youtube.com/channel/UCasiLgTfwbWvrnRF69zhceQ

Finished MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=OSFXHAMuMkk

Script:
When Fallen says “Home”, Holly looks at him and stands up. He’s struck a chord with her. Fallen looks away as Holly spitefully says “who cares when you’re gone”. Fallen looks back at her while saying the line with a genuine/sincere expression.
- “Home is not where you live”; Fallen Leaves refers to the caves. Even though he has been there for years, he still doesn’t feel like it’s home
- Hollyleaf is referring to her recent feelings about Thunderclan and family

Time taken: 231 hours total

---------
Sorry the vid is a day late I was just finishing it up :)
I love the designs and aesthetic of this map, it's so epic to be a part of it.
I've had this part for a long time as I've been busy and only had so many chances to go back to it, and over the last 3 days I finished all the backgrounds, colouring and shading, and now it's here!

I really tried to go for adding lots of small details in the acting with this one, I hope you enjoy; ik there are mistakes but I think I had a good go at this.
It's now my new headcanon that Fallen Leaves has a really fidgety tail and he chases it a lot when he gets bored in the caves.

Also, watch till the end ;)

WHEN WILL YOU LEARN - Warriors ALITM

Xenomane 2021-11-28 | MAJOR ALITM SPOILERS BELOW

I just read the new book and this idea appeared in my brain so I made it.

Also just gonna share a bit here - I really love light in the mist and it brought the series back from it's slump for me. Ofc there were many flaws but Bristlefrost's courage/determination, and then ultimately her death, was the best thing about this book. The brief but hopeful ending was a perfect way to round off an overall great series - but still with problems to be fixed in the next series.

Anyway thanks for watching. Feel free to share opinions or cry for Bristlefrost in the comments.

This part is real fun to work on so far, I can't wait to finish it - I'm gonna focus on gore and the use of shading to make this creepy, as it is a halloween map and I love the spooky season (hopefully I'll be posting more halloween stuff on yt)
Thanks for watching :)

Dear Wormwood | WIP (Part 4)

Xenomane 2021-07-31 | Here's another wip for this map (first was in my 8 wips video)
It may look almost done but I'll most likely be changing it a lot; as you can tell it's already quite different from the initial sketch at the end of the video. But mostly it's just shading and backgrounds that still need doing
Also I'm now gonna be doing 1 or 2 (but probably usually 1) wip every 2 weeks now, finally, an actual schedule! If I'm struggling to get a wip out then I'd replace it with a speedpaint. That being said, tell me what kinda things you'd like to see a speedpaint of in the comments

Remember to like if you enjoyed and maybe check out my other videos :)

Problems Ivypool MAP Part 6

Xenomane 2021-07-07 | Part 6 for the Problems map! I ended up picking this up after the person who originally had it dropped, and I had a lot of fun with detail and expressions tbh. The backgrounds aren't anything I'm particularly proud of, but I did try a bit harder for the backgrounds during the Ivypool and Antpelt fight scene.

Problems | Complete Ivypool & Dovewing MAP

Xenomane 2021-07-06 | Hey there! This is my first map, and after 9 months - can't believe it's been that long - we've finished it. (And yes I do look back at the designs now and wish I'd put more effort into them at the time haha)
Thanks so much to everyone who participated, entered the thumbnail contest (congrats to Doggobeast (Shiba-mation on yt) for winning!) and also motivated participants with your kind words in the server. This project wouldn't be as cool as it is without you guys 👏

Blurb:
This map focuses on Ivypool and Dovewing's relationship during Omen of the Stars. Ivypaw, jealous of her sister Dovepaw's incredible skills and all the praise she gets, begins to visit the dark forest to train to become a better warrior. However, both sisters soon realise the weight of their secrets; Dovewing has a special power with which she is prophesized to save the clans, and Ivypool realises the true nature and intentions of the dark forest cats. The two sisters decide to push all of that aside, to spend some time together and live as normal cats for a while.

Thanks for watching! Remember to comment, like and subscribe if you enjoyed!

Playlist of parts: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjy56eWM6TyXiWQyOkc69OxjAg7jWF83Z
Please go show the animators some love individually by liking and commenting on their parts, and check out their channels!!

Special thanks to Snowly Lika and Simplearcticfoxes for uploading the map call on their channels when it first came out, which helped the call reach more people and this may not be finished right now without their help - I had practically no subs when I released the call haha

Music:
Song: 'Problems' by Mother Mother
Outro music: 'Far in time' by Mother Mother
Both pieces are from the album Eureka, which I recommend listening to if you like the music in this map :)

Script and designs are by funky xenomorph, except Blossomfall, Brokenstar and Antpelt, for which we used Nifty Senpai's designs.
Here's a link to the map call so you can see the script and designs; youtube.com/watch?v=oWsF29WPY-A&t=30s

Ping Club MAP Parts

Xenomane 2021-05-17 | idek if the name Ping Club is still a thing but it's how I was introduced to these people and it's how I'll refer to them
Also speaking of these people they're a pretty cool bunch. I'm just gonna link Dritto's channel cause it was that awesome gal's birthday yesterday and also cause I'm pretty sure all the other channels are linked in hers;
youtube.com/channel/UCDx8ACoyUva2Im6Sry5D5pw/channels
GO SUB!! Dritto is the one who's done/doing this stuff for me youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjy56eWM6TyXLEQUYHNKTm5Kb_uXccKFn cause she's just too nice. Also Neptune. Neptune has done too much art and stuff for me and idk why as much as you

But yeah hope you enjoyed these! The first one was just a bit of fun and the second was my first attempt at a run/fly thing, which was super fun to try and I might do more flying and running animations cause I wanna get better at them. Also dragons. Dragons are fun.
Thanks for watching folks 🎉

Map Promo & Thumbnail Speedpaint | Level of Concern, Ivypool & Hawkfrost

Xenomane 2021-04-17 | Map Link; youtube.com/watch?v=47e5zIYzmao
It's still very much open, and if you're not interested in getting a part, you can help by sharing the call! I'd really appreciate it :) (and so would Neptune)

Music - Level of Concern by Twenty One Pilots

WhaAaAaAt another video so soon after my last one? Yes, and I was thinking I could post more often. Obviously map parts and animation takes time, so would you guys be interested if I posted a speedpaint here and there too? Or is just map parts better? Let me know in the comments (and be honest, I only wanna upload stuff y'all will actually watch)

Thank you for checking out this video, but more importantly check out the map call! Even just viewing it will help it reach more people. I think it would anyway

It Took Me By Surprise | Squirrelflight PMV Map | Part 15

Xenomane 2021-04-14 | Edit: Aaagh sorry about the nasty cut off with the audio at the end of the first time the part is played

Map call; youtube.com/watch?v=ijW_5qSSzR4
Script: Show Squirrelflight looking up at Bramblestar worriedly, tears in her eyes, as the rest of the Clan looks at her in concern.
Show Bramblestar snarling, with true anger in his eyes.

Awesome map idea focusing on Squirrelflight and Bramblestar's relationship, and there's still a couple of parts open if you're interested!

Also, whoa, a video out about a week after the last one?
Yes because I managed to make this in two days somehow, and I can't be bothered to make any kind of schedule to stick to right now :))

Opinions on Squilf; I used to strongly dislike her in the new prophecy, though I always appreciated her and Leafpool's close relationship as sisters, and how it compares with other sibling relationships. I liked her a lot more in power of three; one of the main scenes that stood out to me is after the battle in Eclipse, when she tried to hide her very deep wound that actually almost killed her so that other warriors could be treated first. That alone just made me appreciate her a whole lot more, that and going through what she did to keep Leafpool's secret safe, and what she's like in Squirrelflight's hope and TBC. Her character development has been awesome which makes her probably my second favourite she-cat (my first being Ivypool, of course)

Music; It Took Me By Surprise - Maria Mena

Script; Fireheart leads Bluestar to the gorge and grins, his design going from 2 to 3 and Bluestar looks worried

So the goal for this one was to see how quickly I can make a map part and this one took 2 weeks, I'm pretty proud of that. It's about 5 fps in the first shot and about 4 fps in the next shot.

There's still one part open so here's the link to the map call; youtube.com/watch?v=RKRXLZBmCM4

I'm not consistent with my writing or my animation, but it's time consuming alright
Still working on that Tigerstar part, it's slow going though, and I have a few animations of my own I'm working on and I'm hoping to get at least one of them finished soon or the ideas will just keep piling up
Anyway, I hope this was alright and thanks for watching!

Tigerstar one day wip

Xenomane 2020-08-06 | here's a wip for the I'll Make A Man Out Of You Tigerstar map hosted by Pearl Productions, who made a pretty cool part for the Fireheart and Bluestar map I was in previous to this one, go check em out.

I'm going to start animating and posting on youtube more if I can, there's currently 4 animations I'm working on right now-
It's gonna be a lot of work but I'm excited to get them finished. Besides you only get better at something the more you do it, and the purpose of this account is to post my animation progress, so take it, take it all even if you hate it lmao

Xenomane 2020-05-02 | I made my first map part :)

body map part 4 wip

Xenomane 2020-04-30 | idk if it counts as a wip cause it's nearly done, I just need to put the audio file in, change the duration a bit and i'll be done.
Also can someone please tell me why the black appears on a couple of bluestar's frames? if it helps, I used FireAlpaca to create the whole part, but Bluestar's bit was the only part I saved as a gif. Can anyone tell me why the black appears? I feel like it has something to do with saving it as a gif and if that's the case, when I make the finished part i'll save each of bluestar's frames individually

Xenomane 2020-04-15 | lil animation of some cats. I made this wip some time ago and never got round to finishing it, i’m mainly posting it now as an example for map hosts
