Sweet Escape - COMPLETE Mapleshade and Appledusk MAP Arcatdia 2020-12-12 | “I want to get away...to our sweet escape.”This MAP is a sequel to not just Mapleshade’s Vengeance, but to my most popular MAP on my channel: Hollaback Girl!youtube.com/watch?v=1HNugdx53gcBoth Mapleshade and Appledusk are dealing with their punishments in the afterlife. While Mapleshade is destined to walk forever in the Dark Forest for murdering several cats, Appledusk is forced to wander the border between StarClan and the Dark Forest forever, for cheating on two she-cats who loved him. However, Mapleshade notices his presence, and is trying desperately to convince him to let her out of the Dark Forest. Whether she just wants to see her kits again or wants to take her final revenge on Appledusk’s spirit is up to you!A very large thank-you to all who were involved in the making of this MAP for their patience. This was a huge project, but it’s absolutely fantastic!CREDITS:Thumbnail contest winner: AnArtist01 -Links: https://linktr.ee/Andre.151: Spaceman_boots & ColdFoop 2: ShadowCat3: WrenEcho & Sinister Fox 4: orkestrell 5: You Have Found Ebony6: Maowkat7: TheFieryFenec8: WHATEVER •9: Arcatdia10: Angela the kittydog OwO 11: orkestrell & Fishberry12: Shadie13: WillowHearts Warriors14: Janyroux15: minty_snap_16: Cindrr17: Fishberry18: angsttronaut19: Sandy Mandy6720: lavender laceration21: Shmurple Purple22: Akeov23: Card Kitti24: emo_ Firestar25: Daani 26: LoimiSong: Sweet Escape by Gwen StefaniCredit Song: Sweet Escape (Instrumental Version) by Hit Co.

I only remember him fighting like all of LionClan. That's how I will always remember him."I like to avoid the violent requests because, well, I’m not great with blood. But hey, I definitely need the practice, and I like how this one turned out!So personal story: no one I know IRL reads warrior books (stories of kids roleplaying it during recess make me super jealous, because I was bullied for reading cat books haha) and something that often comes up in the rare moments that warriors makes an appearance in our conversations is what if the cats come into contact with feral dogs? My friend likes to say there’s no way the cats could survive. And I reply, yes! You’re right! Let me tell you the story of Swiftpaw and Brightpaw! But they just move on and call the series unrealistic (which...it is? It’s a fantasy story??)ANYWAY thank you to lavender laceration and red the dragon for the request! As I’ve said, I love the first series and nothing really comes close to the violence and heartache it caused, and this scene really packed a punch for 9 year-old me.PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT WITH REQUESTS.

But I admit to it!The controls are very complicated, and it was much later that I learned how to get rid of notifications and open/close my inbox. I am absolutely returning to this game later to rid this blemish on my reputation. I WILL BE TRASHSTAR FOR REALSIES, I PROMISE.But I hope you enjoyed this regardless! I wasn’t aware that I was playing games out of order, nor that there were multiple BrambleClan games, so we will be going back in time to play as a character that was only mentioned briefly in this playthrough!

I haven’t done bubbles in a looooooooooong time, and while I originally liked the idea of perfect circles I quickly realized that bubbles don’t have to be perfect, they just have to be fun!Anyway, this fight! I really wish we had seen more of it, but it was pretty epic from an outside POV. Onestar was always going to be the one to kill his son, and while leadership certainly changed Onestar for the worst, I really think that he gained a bit of reputation back for taking one for the team. And Darktail certainly deserved to drown, after all that he did to his prisoners!Thank you to Janyroux for the request!

And let’s not forget her Clanmates no longer trust her!Poor gal. I’m looking forward to the next book and hoping she gets a break from everything! Then again, she is a POV character.

Others will come after you, moon upon moon upon moon. Choose them well, train them well, and trust the future of your Tribe to them."I AM SO UPSET WITH THE ERINS RIGHT NOW!! They had the PERFECT opportunity to use a DAWN to symbolize new beginnings, but NOOOOOOOOOO THE MOON ISN’T THAT VISIBLE LET’S MAKE IT AT NIGHT, AKA THE END.So I made it dawn. It should have been dawn. The moon is still visible at dawn. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DAWN.ANYWAY.I love Half Moon. There, I said it. She had a few chapters of page-time, but it was enough to characterize a cat who was born into a simple life, but was chosen for something even bigger. I definitely did not see her becoming Stoneteller, and I hope we have a Super Edition or something that shows how this background character encouraged her Tribe to remain in the mountains for generations to come!Thank you to Dragon Burst # BLM for the request!

Confrontation at the Barn (Warrior Cats Speedpaint Request) Arcatdia 2020-08-08 | Final Image Link: deviantart.com/arcatdia/art/Confrontation-at-the-Barn-851104372This was quite the challenge, and I apologize for the delay of this piece!If you know me, I constantly urge people to use photographic references when drawing. References honestly help make art better, and using photographs are much better than cartoons as (1) you really shouldn’t be referencing other art without the artist’s permission and (2) an artist’s style may not resemble perfect anatomy. Take my own style, for example: I make heads larger, and the features of the head (eyes and ears, mostly) are vastly exaggerated to help convey expressions.This was different. I have never done a scene redraw before, and when I saw Razmerry’s request I realized this was the perfect opportunity to do so! Unfortunately this meant that I would have to reference James Barry’s art, and while I adore his style (much of my current style is derived from his) I did not trust his anatomy enough to be a perfect reference, haha! I did end up discarding Ravenpaw’s original pose in this scene and including Jumper.Ravenpaw’s comic arc is one of my favorite manga arcs, mostly because I love Ravenpaw! I wish we had seen more of him in the books. This scene was incredibly powerful, as Barley had always been laid-back and not one to start confrontation. AND THEN HE SMACKED HIS BROTHER IN THE FACE!! We’re so quick to forget that Barley once survived in BloodClan territory!Thank you to Razmerry for the request! This was such a fun challenge, and I hope to practice more scene redraws in the future!PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT WITH REQUESTS. My speedpaint requests are temporarily CLOSED but will open again soon!

Sweet Escape - Mapleshade and Appledusk MAP Part 9 Arcatdia 2020-08-01 | For my MAP!: youtube.com/watch?v=YIBqElyN8PQI really wish YouTube descriptions allowed gifs, because I would totally include the gif of Mushu rising screaming, “I LIVE!!”It has been...two months?? Since I’ve uploaded a MAP part. Yikes. In my defense, I’ve started spending far too much time on them. This part alone has a lot of new things I’m working on, including blue screen and (blocky) lip sync! And yes, the walk cycle is meant to be slow. I didn’t want to overwhelm myself with an animated walk cycle, so I attempted to make an animatic-style cycle. There are a lot of things I want to improve on this, but it is so much more complicated than what I’ve posted in the past so I am actually kind of proud!Not sure how many of you follow my DeviantArt account, but I really don’t want to get into the debate I unwillingly fell head-first into. Appledusk’s characterization is vague because the novella was told from Mapleshade’s POV, and can be interpreted in any way you want. Please no discourse here, I’m very tired ^^”In any case, this is my interpretation of him--or at least part of it. Appledusk, as he turns away from Mapleshade, is thinking of the life he could have led with Reedshine and their kits. I actually felt bad for him while working on the flashback scenes! Although I really feel bad for Reedshine, since not only did her mate cheat on her (although the timeline is really vague), but he died and left her alone to raise kits on only his memory, wondering whether Mapleshade could truly make well on her promise to seek vengeance on any cat carrying Appledusk’s blood.~~~~CREDITS~~~~Audio: Sweet Escape by Gwen StefaniPrograms: - Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 - FireAlpaca - Sony Vegas Pro 16~~~~LINKS~~~~DeviantArt: arcatdia.deviantart.comTumblr: arcatdia.tumblr.com2020 MAP Parts Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt9WJR_TsNcoRCioYTpjIWmyp8SrzktzY~~~~IMPORTANT NOTE~~~~I do not allow any reposting/editing of my videos.

CLEAR HIGHROCK - The Warrior Cats Game: Episode 2 (Scratch Games) Arcatdia 2020-07-31 | Welp.When I first found this game, I played up to just before I got my apprentice name. Hence why I was so surprised with how long this game got! I totally did not expect the reveal of Garbage’s father. I thought, ‘Meh, whatever. We’ll never get to know and that’s okay.’I may be done with this game, but that doesn’t mean that I found all the secrets! There is another path you can take with Jaystripe and become a medicine cat, and I can’t help but wonder if you can also have kits with Maplewillow or Icepaw (did she get a warrior name? I don’t think so).

I went through the agony of bearing your kits! And now you treat me worse than prey. You will regret this, Appledusk. That is my last promise to you."This piece made me reread the RiverClan exile scene, which has given me a lot of new thoughts on Appledusk and Reedshine. Especially Reedshine. She just...forgives Appledusk??? Girl, get yourself a backbone.And Appledusk is often rallied against, and quite a few people I’ve talked to have said that they think Appledusk should go to the Dark Forest while Mapleshade should be in StarClan. And...what? I totally agree that Appledusk got away with cheating way too easily, but him going to hell is a bit too extreme, seeing as Mapleshade literally slaughtered everyone who looked at her funny.But I digress. I am actually working on a bit of a side project about Appledusk, although it will be a long time before I can publish it.Thank you to little whitekitten for the request!

The Truth Revealed (Warrior Cats Speedpaint Request) Arcatdia 2020-07-19 | Final Image Link: deviantart.com/arcatdia/art/The-Truth-Revealed-849243072I AM SO SORRY FOR HOW LATE THIS IS!! I had an incredibly busy week. I definitely want to redo this piece at a later date, since this was all done in one day.I chose to focus on Squirrelflight, Brambleclaw, and Leafpool for this because they really took the brunt of Hollyleaf’s tale. I mean, Jayfeather and Lionblaze briefly mention in The Forgotten Warrior that cats started whispering about where their loyalties lay, but they were not as attacked by the Clans as the adults were. Squirrelflight and Leafpool lost the respect of their Clanmates; they were often mentioned as ‘out of place’ and abandoned by most of the Clan. Brambleclaw had to deal with not only being lied to by the one cat he trusted most, but the fact that his children weren’t actually his children by blood.Now, I am also disturbed by the idea that just because Squirrel/Bramble aren’t the birth parents, they aren’t the TRUE parents of Lion, Holly, and Jay. Lion and Jay coming to terms with the idea that their birth parents gave them up is only touched upon later, and it did not get the kind of attention it deserved. But that is a topic for another day.Thank you to Cinder fire 11 and Cindrr for the request! I’m still practicing shading, and this was the perfect piece to try out new things!PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT WITH REQUESTS. My speedpaint requests are temporarily CLOSED but will open again soon!

But I reread this scene for the first time in years and WOW CLEAR SKY LITERALLY JUST *YEETS* TALL SHADOW INTO A BUNCH OF WAITING CLAWS LIKE WHAT THE FRICK DUDE??!!In conclusion, I may have to do a reread of the arc and see how I like it now :)ANYHOO the real drama of this piece comes from the fact that I finished coloring and immediately DID NOT SAVE and CLOSED THE PROGRAM. I didn’t record the second time I colored because I was fuming and angry and did it really quick so if you notice some inconsistencies that’s why. Really sorry for any confusion this causes!Thank you to Sunni With an ‘I’ and Olivia Brown for requesting this scene! This is actually the first time I’ve done a speedpaint from DotC (The Moth Flight and Micah scene doesn’t count since it’s a SE) and I really want to reread the arc now!PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT WITH REQUESTS. My speedpaint requests are temporarily CLOSED but will open again soon! The announcement will be made via the community tab, so (to sound as cliche as possible) don’t forget to subscribe for notifications!~~~~CREDITS~~~~Audio: Masterpiece Theatre (Part 3) by Marianas TrenchDesigns: RoseShards -DA: deviantart.com/roseshards -Tumblr: warriorcatsdatabase.tumblr.comPrograms: - Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 - FireAlpaca - Sony Vegas Pro 16 - OBS Studio~~~~LINKS~~~~DeviantArt: arcatdia.deviantart.comTumblr: arcatdia.tumblr.com
(COMPLETED) Mapleshade - SWEET ESCAPE (Warrior Cats MAP Call) Arcatdia 2020-07-11 | Completed MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=MlZ3k0pnUDkTHE HOLLABACK GIRL SEQUEL MAP IS FINALLY HERE!!I have been working on this MAP since the poll I made a few months ago, asking if there was any desire for a sequel. And while it’s not an ‘official’ sequel, I hope you all will still enjoy it!This MAP takes place after the events in ‘Mapleshade’s Vengeance,’ in which both Mapleshade and Appledusk are dealing with their punishments in the afterlife. While Mapleshade is destined to walk forever in the Dark Forest for murdering several cats, Appledusk is forced to wander the border between StarClan and the Dark Forest forever, for cheating on two she-cats who loved him. However, Mapleshade notices his presence, and is trying desperately to convince him to let her out of the Dark Forest. Whether she just wants to see her kits again or wants to take her final revenge on Appledusk’s spirit is up to you!Keep in mind that you don’t have to have been in the Hollaback Girl MAP to get a part in this one!PLAYLIST OF COMPLETED PARTS: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt9WJR_TsNcpBNs90wAjhaEkuYN5JJP3fPARTS:1: Spaceman_boots & ColdFoop 2: ShadowCat3: WrenEcho & Sinister Fox 4: orkestrell 5: You Have Found Ebony6: Maowkat7: TheFieryFenec8: WHATEVER •9: Arcatdia10: Angela the kittydog OwO 11: orkestrell & Fishberry12: Shadie13: WillowHearts Warriors14: Janyroux15: minty_snap_16: Cindrr17: Fishberry18: angsttronaut19: Sandy Mandy6720: lavender laceration21: Shmurple Purple22: Akeov23: Card Kitti24: emo_ Firestar25: Daani 26: LoimiBACKUPS:- Glitch Sixxle- ColdFoop- fennexx
WHERE ARE WE?! - Warrior Cats Text Adventures Episode 2 Arcatdia 2020-07-10 | In which I realize no one in the Warriors’ fandom knows how to read maps.It’s time for episode two of the Text Adventures series!

BE MY MATE OR DROWN - Warrior Cats Text Adventures: Episode 1 Arcatdia 2020-07-03 | WHAT IF I WANNA STAY SINGLE?? WHAT THEN??Welcome to episode 1 of the Text Adventures series! Text Adventures are typically of the ‘choose your own adventure’ sort, although it looks like the authors of these stories want to make the choice for you.I apologize in advance for my focus on the grammar. I’m sure all the authors are young and have learned since and blah blah blah, but this is important to me.I was a little quiet in the beginning, but I promise I perk up quickly! I’m trying to get a better mic so the quality is a little better as well.If you have ever made one of these, or if these inspire you to make one, let me know! I’d love to play it!

It’s a lot harder to find Vision of Shadow MAPs/MVs that aren’t...controversial. I was initially going to save this song for a speedpaint that centered around Needletail, but I guess this will have to do!(That was not an opening to discuss those controversial videos, please keep comments light-hearted. Thanks!)I’m not sure if I’ve talked about how much I loved the first three books of AVOS, but I really did! Going back to a singular ‘bad guy’ really brought out my nostalgia for the first arc, and I’m really glad we’ve gotten back to that in the current arc!Needletail’s characterization is one of my favorites as well. She wasn’t inherently good, but she wasn’t bad, either. Gray characters (and I don’t mean pelt color haha) are my favorite type of characters, and I hope we see more of them in the coming future!Thank you to WarriorsPeace_Kat for the request! I haven’t drawn these four in a LONG time, so it was nice to go back to them! I’ve been working on my shading, and while it isn’t perfect (where is the lighting coming from, oops) I really liked the challenge!PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT WITH REQUESTS.

MAPLESHADE - MONSTER (WARRIOR CATS ANIMATIC) Arcatdia 2020-06-27 | You know what I thought of while working on this? What happened to Mapleshade’s parents? Her littermates? Why wasn’t her family involved in her story, and just her mentor?(Those of you who have been with me for a while may remember I tried to write about the story of Mapleshade’s sister, only to have Mapleshade’s Vengeance come out like a month later. That was not a fun time.)ANYWAY GUESS WHO JUST FINISHED WATCHING AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER FOR THE FIRST TIME!! I was never allowed to stay up late enough for the new episodes when it first came out, and I was ECSTATIC when I learned it was coming to Netflix!

Pinestars Farewell (Warrior Cats Speedpaint Request) Arcatdia 2020-06-21 | Final Image: deviantart.com/arcatdia/art/Pinestar-s-Farewell-846221644This was the first scene that proved that the warrior code was still being written in modern times. Some of you might remember this scene as the first time we got to see apprentice Lionheart and warrior Bluestar! Bluestar’s Prophecy came out a couple of months after Code of the Clans, so it was extra-special seeing this story in the field guide!THIS WAS MY LONGEST SPEEDPAINT YET!! I think it took, in total, four hours? (Not counting rendering) I really tried my hardest with this one, so I hope you enjoy!Thank you to Edward the gentleman and suicidallynx x!

BEST VIEW - DOVEWING X BUMBLESTRIPE (WARRIOR CATS ANIMATIC) Arcatdia 2020-06-20 | Dove you could seriously just say ‘thanks.’ No noise necessary.Also the background is literally just a google search of ‘best view’ since that phrase is really opinionated? I feel like my idea of the best view is incredibly different from everyone else’s.Apparently this sound is incredibly popular on Tik Tok? I don’t use the app, so I’m not entirely sure. This audio is from TLC’s ‘90 Day Fiance,’ which is an absolute trainwreck of a show if I ever saw one haha! I actually haven’t watched an entire episode myself, I’m just a huge fan of the Big Ed and Rose storyline. It’s sort of become an inside joke at work, and we’ve even named one of the geese that live in the lake next to the lab after Big Ed XDI’ll link the TLC website if you’re interested in the show, but just know that it’s definitely not made for kids!~~~~CREDITS~~~~Audio: 90 Day Fiance -Show Page: tlc.com/tv-shows/90-day-fiancePrograms: - Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 - FireAlpaca - Sony Vegas Pro 16~~~~LINKS~~~~DeviantArt: arcatdia.deviantart.comTumblr: arcatdia.tumblr.com~~~~IMPORTANT NOTE~~~~I do not allow any reposting/editing of my videos.

Controlling every cat in the territories by the lake!"AAAHHH THIS MAY BE MY FAVORITE REQUEST YET!! I had so much fun with this, and I’m really proud of the shading I’ve done with this.As I’ve said in the past, a lot of my views on Po3: Eclipse are biased due to the AMAZING animatic by puzzlii, and I definitely recommend giving it a watch if you’re confused as to why I chose this song (besides the obvious answer: I’m a HUGE fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s works!): youtube.com/watch?v=7RO5U7bMckQThank you to LunaTuna and Spotted Trail for the request!

Im Not That Girl - Complete Bristlefrost MAP Arcatdia 2020-06-13 | “He could be that boy… But I’m not that girl.”After EIGHT LONG MONTHS this MAP is finally here! We’ve all been working so hard on this project, and I hope you enjoy!Bristlefrost and Stemleaf’s relationship was incredibly interesting, as it was honestly so relatable. I mean, who hasn’t had a crush on someone who had a crush on someone else? This MAP was started before the release of ‘The Silent Thaw’ and ‘Veil of Shadows,’ so keep that in mind while watching it.CREDITS:Thumbnail contest winner: kychiioParticipants:1: Fire Wolfy & Ava Films2: meow hvs & Arcatdia3: Fluffy Flatypus4: WildPaws5: Cattasterfee6: Arcatdia7: Breezey8: orkestrell9: AngelCloud Animates10: Maowkat11: ghostlyfuz’12: ChaveeSong: I’m Not That Girl by Idina Menzel (Wicked the Musical)Credit Song: River Flows in You by YirumaPlaylist of Parts: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt9WJR_TsNcqRr56xt_rmli2BkQueUsC-
Goosefeather & The Great Starvation (Warrior Cats Speedpaint Request) Arcatdia 2020-06-07 | Final Image Link: deviantart.com/arcatdia/art/Goosefeather-and-The-Great-Starvation-844691559I feel like Goosefeather’s Curse is a super underrated novella, but then again it did come bundled with Mapleshade and Ravenpaw’s novellas so it makes sense. Goosefeather was such an interesting character when he was introduced in Bluestar’s prophecy, and this is the one time I was actually okay with the Erins granting an old character superpowers. After all, a lot of Goosefeather’s prophecies in BP could be applied to latter situations, such as WindClan flattening ThunderClan (the two wars Onestar started) and the fire prophecy (I explained this in my last speedpaint).Poor Goosefeather alienated himself at a young age, but Doestar certainly didn’t help by granting him privileges before his peers. I only wish we had an explanation as to why he had a paw in the Dark Forest; we never saw him be evil, only lazy.Thank you to Qhana and Loo-Doo and Toh-Doh for the request! I already drew this scene for a MAP part a few months back, and decided to redraw a few of the cats I added to the background. The tortiseshell would have appeared in a comic I used to make that will be remade into its own, non-fanfiction story in the future, and I really liked the design of the pale cat and may use them in a future project!PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT WITH REQUESTS.

The One I Love - COMPLETE Crowfeather MAP Arcatdia 2020-06-06 | “Another prop has occupied my mind…”Crowfeather also has a really tragic love life. From watching Feathertail die to losing Leafpool, he really can’t catch a break. This song is traditionally a romantic love song, but I decided against using Nightcloud as ‘someone he loved’ since he never really loved her in the first place. Instead, Crowfeather’s greatest love in life is the love for his son, something that he did not realize until it was almost too late.Congratulations to all the participants, this was such an amazing project and I couldn’t have done it without all of you!CREDITS:Thumbnail contest winner: DaaniYouTube Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCcdGdKaE2-8d_Aih--k0IsADeviantArt Page: deviantart.com/daaniartsArtfight: artfight.net/~DaaniPARTS:1: Starblast142: Fennexx fox creations3: Argenti4: Card Kitti5: Cattasterfee6: Solarshine7: SmolOrangeOmO8: BrightFur9: DeadDogWalking10: Janyroux11: Argenti & silverlio28 Animates12: Cindrr13: Shallsicorn 1114: Lilacleaf15: Arcatdia16: smornt17: AngelCloud Animates18: Crescent Animates19: meow hvs20: Samantha Brown21: LunaTuna22: DaaniSong: The One I Love by R.E.M.Credit Song: The One I Love by Scala & Kolacny BrothersPlaylist of parts: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt9WJR_TsNcqzK1ZpqVZvfuT2aAyZxEkv
Bluestars Prophecy (Warrior Cats Speedpaint Request) Arcatdia 2020-05-31 | Final Image Link: deviantart.com/arcatdia/art/Bluestar-s-Prophecy-843902473"You are fire, Bluepaw, and you will blaze through the forest. But beware! Even the most powerful flames can be destroyed by water."Bluestar’s Prophecy is one of my favorite Super Editions, mostly because it was the first book to go through the entire life of one of the TPB characters! The prophecy itself is really interesting to think about, because you have to wonder if this prophecy was meant for Bluestar, or if it was always meant for Firestar. After all, Goosefeather received prophecies that had nothing to do with his time. And Firestar was technically killed in the middle of a thunderstorm!Thank you to Fishberry for the request! I decided to look at this prophecy from Goosefeather’s point of view, since his visions are always so dramatic. Unfortunately I was unable to get footage of the filtering stage; I thought it would be short and brief like my other speedpaints, but I got a little carried away!PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT WITH REQUESTS.

I am getting better, though!I only wish I had started this much sooner, as I had a lot of plans for the lighting/backgrounds for this request that I never fulfilled in an attempt to be done with this as soon as possible. The next request in my queue also calls for pretty dramatic lighting, so hopefully I can focus all my attention on that!Thank you to Kaleb/Jordan McCaulla for the request!

Veil of Shadows Predictions + Club Penguin! Arcatdia 2020-05-09 | Hey everyone, welcome to a new type of video!I didn’t have much time to work on an artsy-type of video, so I went with a discussion-based video. If you all want to see more of these, please let me know! I had a lot of fun doing this :)I do want to point out this this was the WORST RUN OF ICE FISHING I HAVE DONE IN A LONG TIME!! I LOST SO MANY FISH and I SWEAR I am better than this!! This is kinda my favorite game on Club Penguin so I think this is an ABSOLUTE SHAME.And yes, my rainbow puffle is named Rootspring. All but one of my puffles are named after Warriors’ characters, and if I continue making these videos in the future you’ll meet all of them!I usually stick credits here, but there really aren’t credits to be had. Apparently there is a lot of discourse over what version of Club Penguin I’m playing on, so I won’t link it here. If you want to play Club Penguin with me, just google it! I think it’s the first one that pops up!As usual, please be kind in the comments section.

Unfortunately I definitely need to practice, but for a first try it definitely looks all right!I haven’t put much thought into Moth Flight and Micah; I wasn’t the biggest fan of DotC (nothing against it, I just grew bored with it after book three) and Moth’s SE does not rank very high on my list of favorites, but this request forced me to reread it and I definitely enjoyed it! I love Moth’s kits, they all had such interesting personalities!Also putting this song to this scene kinda makes me want to open a Moth Flight/Half Moon MAP…Thank you to Calico for the request!

I felt bad for him when we first met him; here is another cat who didn’t want to be a medicine cat, but was roped in ‘just because.’ But he’s great at what he does, especially since his training was so rushed!This is another scriptless MAP, so I’ll explain the story: Leafpool tells Puddlepaw to collect some marigold for her. Puddlepaw is initially excited to be given such a big task, but is quickly discouraged when he can’t seem to find anything. Luckily, a friendly honeybee buzzes by just as he is about to give up, seemingly determined to get somewhere. Puddlepaw, realizing that bees like flowers, gets an idea and quickly chases after it. His quick-thinking pays off when the bee leads him straight into a patch of marigold!~~~~CREDITS~~~~Audio: Boys Will Be Bugs by CavetownPrograms: - Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 - FireAlpaca - Sony Vegas Pro 16~~~~LINKS~~~~DeviantArt: arcatdia.deviantart.comTumblr: arcatdia.tumblr.com2020 MAP Parts Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt9WJR_TsNcoRCioYTpjIWmyp8SrzktzY~~~~IMPORTANT NOTE~~~~I do not allow any reposting/editing of my videos.

Tigerstars Nine Lives (Warrior Cats Speedpaint Request) Arcatdia 2020-04-26 | Final Image Link: deviantart.com/arcatdia/art/Tigerstar-s-Nine-Lives-839471258THIS WAS MY MOST COMPLICATED SPEEDPAINT YET!! I honestly had so much fun creating new designs, and revisiting my old ones! My boy Redscar is in this!!! Look at my sweet child!!A little behind-the-scenes fact: it’s no secret that I try to choose songs based on old MAPs/AMVs. Searching for Tigerstar MAPs resulted in me originally choosing ‘Piggy Pie’ as the background song, but goodness gracious I do not feel comfortable with those lyrics ^^” But I stumbled on the Dangerous MAP and I really loved it! I’m honestly surprised I hadn’t seen it before! Well done to all the participants of that MAP!Thank you to EmmaEva12 EmmaEva12 for the request! As soon as it popped up in my notifications I knew I wanted to draw it, and planned this one out all month. I’m hoping to do more leader speedpaints in the future!PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT WITH REQUESTS.

ROOTPAW X BRISTLEFROST - OR SOMETHING (WARRIOR CATS ANIMATIC) Arcatdia 2020-04-25 | Alternative title: Rootpaw attempts to flirt.A small request: please don’t start a shipping war in the comments section! There are a lot of people who are die-hard fans of Bristleroot, and others that are completely against it. It’s okay to ship whatever you want, but don’t demand others to ship the same way!I’m still not spoiling anything for Veil of Shadows, so I don’t have much to say on the topic of these two. They have an interesting relationship for sure, though!~~~~CREDITS~~~~Audio: Vine -Video: youtube.com/watch?v=sV_p2G8TkusPrograms: - Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 - FireAlpaca - Sony Vegas Pro 16~~~~LINKS~~~~DeviantArt: arcatdia.deviantart.comTumblr: arcatdia.tumblr.com~~~~IMPORTANT NOTE~~~~I do not allow any reposting/editing of my videos.

Song of Witches - Medieval Warrior Cats MAP Part 22 Arcatdia 2020-04-20 | For Starcheopteryx’s MAP!: youtube.com/watch?v=BrU2neNAcKUAAAAHHH I’ve never done a weekend MAP before, and WOW was it a challenge! I’m very happy the due date was pushed out because I had so many issues with this part ^^”This takes place in Silent Thaw, when ThunderClan was just starting to doubt the imposter’s leadership. The first scene is Bramblefake anouncing his glory, and the second is one of the first secret meetings. Don’t worry, it’s only Bristlefrost in the bushes!I’ve never drawn in the medieval style before, and I definitely want to practice it more! There are a lot of crazy medieval paintings of cats, and if you want to laugh I definitely recommend looking them up!~~~~CREDITS~~~~Audio: Song of Witches by SJ TuckerPrograms: - Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 - FireAlpaca - Sony Vegas Pro 16~~~~LINKS~~~~DeviantArt: arcatdia.deviantart.comTumblr: arcatdia.tumblr.com2020 MAP Parts Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt9WJR_TsNcoRCioYTpjIWmyp8SrzktzY~~~~IMPORTANT NOTE~~~~I do not allow any reposting/editing of my videos.

And how Leafpool was super calm throughout the entire encounter? I loved it!I don’t think I did this scene justice, but it was fun nonetheless! I definitely need to return to my Hollyleaf design at some point, it’s a bit bland.Thank you to Fennexx fox creations, Galar_Girl, and Just your average youtuber for the request!

Ill Keep You Safe - Warrior Cats MAP Part 2 (Bluestar and Firepaw) Arcatdia 2020-04-18 | For orkestrell’s MAP!: youtube.com/watch?v=dS1w7fwJwC8As soon as I saw this MAP I KNEW I had to draw the original mentor/apprentice pair! I love the relationship between Firestar and Bluestar, it’s one of my favorites in the Warriors universe!Not sure how clear the story is, so I’ll explain it: In this scene, Bluestar is simply teaching Firepaw to hunt. He’s a bit hesitant and looks to her to make sure he’s doing it right, and she assures him he is. Now, full of confidence, he practices leaping for prey. Bluestar proudly looks on.(Also I love Sleeping At Last, they’re one of my favorites and I’m so glad more and more MAPs are being created with their songs!)~~~~CREDITS~~~~Audio: I’ll Keep You Safe by Sleeping At LastPrograms: - Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 - FireAlpaca - Sony Vegas Pro 16~~~~LINKS~~~~DeviantArt: arcatdia.deviantart.comTumblr: arcatdia.tumblr.com2020 MAP Parts Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt9WJR_TsNcoRCioYTpjIWmyp8SrzktzY~~~~IMPORTANT NOTE~~~~I do not allow any reposting/editing of my videos.

Promise Me - Mapleshade and Crookedpaw (Warrior Cats Speedpaint Request) Arcatdia 2020-04-12 | Final Image Link: deviantart.com/arcatdia/art/Promise-Me-Mapleshade-and-Crookedpaw-837569511HOO BOY. I think a lot of people were dissatisfied with Crookestar’s Promise when it first came out. We were promised that Crookedstar had gained the approval of his Clanmates through hard work and sheer determination, but what we got instead was a made-up sign.At least Mapleshade’s characterization was great. We first met Mapleshade in Omen of the Stars, and while she was creepy there, she was nowhere NEAR as OBSESSED as she was in Crookedstar’s Promise. She had a lot of fans before her novella came out, and it was just as blood-soaked as we hoped.Although I was a little peeved that we the fans could no longer come up with our own ideas of her backstory. I know that I, at least, had to discontinue a fanfiction I was working on, although it did not have a lot of love ^^” But that’s a story for another day.Thank you to Jaybae and ShadowCat for the request! I love doing dark backgrounds, and I really did my best to experiment with Sagutoyas’ designs; I haven’t tried them since January of last year, and I still had quite a bit of struggle with them! Mapleshade’s expression was especially tough, and I’m still not thrilled with how she came out. But that’s just something I can improve upon in future pieces!PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT WITH REQUESTS. My speedpaint requests are temporarily CLOSED but will open again soon! The announcement will be made via the community tab, so (to sound as cliche as possible) don’t forget to subscribe for notifications!~~~~CREDITS~~~~Audio: My Lullaby by Suzanne Pleshette, Crysta Macalush, Andy Dick (The Lion King II)Designs: Sagutoyas -DA: deviantart.com/sally-cePrograms: - Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 - FireAlpaca - Sony Vegas Pro 16 - OBS Studio~~~~LINKS~~~~DeviantArt: arcatdia.deviantart.comTumblr: arcatdia.tumblr.com
