Do you guys like my pun in the title. Do you like it. It took me a while to come up with it. please laugh
HEY I'M OFFICIALLY BACK! And what better way to kick it off than with my first MAP part in almost two years!
This here is for HEROES, a cat-ified Marvel Cinematic Universe PMV MAP that will come out in time for Avengers: Endgame's Friday premiere! Yeah, I kinda cut it close, but at least I finished it haha
Depicted is the "end of the line" scene from Captain Ameowrica: The Wintpurr SoldOKAY I'LL STOP. It's my favorite scene in the entire franchise and I just had to get my greasy goblin hands all over it when this MAP was announced. Thanks to Burrferns and Ouijablues for hosting this awesome project!

Happy New Year, everybody!
To all who stuck out hope for this project, thank you so very much! To those who lost hope, I can’t say I blame you :’D
This MAP has spent over three years marinating in the sands of time. I don’t want to get into the details of why, because they’re long and arduous. Let’s just focus on the amazing work of all thirty partmakers, no matter how old or young their parts are! Everyone did a stellar job and I can’t thank them enough. Hugs for all of you!!
This MAP is all about the bad guys! Villains, antagonists, what have you.
As stated in the original call, this MAP’s parts are separated into four parts: humble beginnings (parts 1-8), rise to power (9-18), absolute power (19-26), and fall from grace (27-28). The parts belonging to Salukisilver and Crowfolly are just the intro, spilt into two bits.
Again, thank you to everyone who participated in this project, and to everyone who supported it.

Rabbithop voiced by Purespiritflower
Dominoclaw voiced by Mike Joseph
Elated with the birth of her and her mate Dominoclaw’s kits, Rosepetal begins to find peace in her once tumultuous life. But Dominoclaw’s past catches up to Rosepetal in the form of Rabbithop, Dominoclaw’s ex-mate. Rabbithop, who was abandoned by Dominoclaw soon after rearing their own litter, attempts to warn Rosepetal about Dominoclaw's possibly malicious intentions.

A vastly overdue PMV scene commission for my pal LeFabtasticDomino! This was made in the style of my comic, TRIO, at Domino’s request. And man, do I enjoy drawing in this lineless style! It’s quick, easy, and looks great. In terms of continuity, this scene takes place during the events of Angel-Hawk’s own PMV, I Know What You Did Last Summer, which you can find here: youtube.com/watch?v=-cogUapyKCo
Rabbithop is my favorite character in Dominoclaw’s story, simply because of how darn badly I feel for her. I find her plight of being dropped like a sack of potatoes by her then-mate in her time of greatest need to be very tragic. I also really enjoy Rosepetal! Poor thing, it really sucks to have someone’s anger forced upon you when it’s meant for someone else.
I will probably not be taking video commissions again for a long while, since I find it very difficult to budget my time effectively for them. But this was a fun project, and I do wish to do similar ones in the future!
Why is the color palette for this scene so green, you ask? Because green is the color of jealousy and malicious intent, and I’m not very good at subtlety.
My valiant return to consistent uploading will come very soon! I’m going on vacation, and when I come back, I’ll be working on quite a few animation memes. Stay tuned!

I figured now would be a good time to introduce everyone to my second story and PMV series, Coldhearted! This is a story I’ve been brainstorming since early last year and I’m really excited to share it with you guys! The video itself was kind of impromptu but I’d rather have this than boring slide credits.
It’s kind of obvious but yeah, I acquired After Effects again and I finally taught myself how to use it. I learned it all in a couple of days! Not too shabby, eh? Special thanks to Crowfolly and Iro Rautatiski and their OVERGROWTH and Kaarnen Herra series respectively for giving me inspiration on the editing techniques and overall feel of the opening. Some aspects of this opening will change over time, like character designs, overall art, etc. I’m still figuring out conceptual and plot stuff for this series.
The casting call will go up in a few days. Does this mean I’m abandoning TRIO? Nope. TRIO’s not even taking a backseat. It’s on a fixed schedule so I have to keep up with chapters every month. It’ll be hard to balance two active stories at once, but I’ll try!
I’m projecting that episode one will be released this winter, anywhere from January to March 2018, depending on how busy I am. Stay tuned!

Summary: Sunchaser grew up in WindClan during turbulent times. His father, Jaggedstar, was plagued with challenges to his leadership by cats of his own Clan due to letting the mysterious Dominoclaw and Rosepetal escape from tribunal. Jaggedstar’s depression took a toll on him, and Sunchaser’s mother Breezesong explained to her son why his father was in such ailing condition.
One night, as a young warrior, Sunchaser has a dream-- Dominoclaw and Rosepetal’s son, Darkheart, visits him in StarClan, telling Sunchaser where he can find his fugitive father. That day Sunchaser sets out on the journey of his life: find the cat who caused his family so much grief and misery.
--
Whew! My last PMV commission for probably a while. This took about two weeks of work on and off two months due to a hectic schedule. I had a lot of fun with this, and I really enjoyed the story behind this video! Sunchaser is a cutie pie if I do say so myself.
Vegas isn’t doing much for me in the ways of editing, so I think I’ll try to get my hands on After Effects again. What do you guys think?
As always, enjoy!

Guess what IIII DIDDDDDDD
THAT’S RIGHT A MEME
I was initially going to do this with the Trio but meh I wanted a bit more of a challenge. So I did the cast of Coldhearted, my other fantasy story! Who I’ve sadly been ignoring for a little while because TRIO’s getting its plot in gear.
Here’s a summary of Coldhearted’s plot and the characters featured in this video!
“In the world of Percaerul, all intelligent beings are gifted with Magic that can be honed into wonderous power. Pip, a gryphon from Horru village, is determined to become the most powerful Ice Mage her village has ever known. But when a terrible tragedy strikes, Pip’s ambition turns to revenge on the Dragon--the last of his kind--who caused it.
With the help of Karimah, her werewolf friend, Nikolas, a travelling Minotaur, and Yu, a mysterious Qilin, Pip traverses the planet in hope of slaying the beast that is hellbent on laying waste to Percaerul.”
Pip (also known as Pema) is an Ice mage gryphon. Though she hails from the snowy mountains, Pip is fiery and tenacious, never backing down from a challenge. She’s a loudmouth and voices her opinions even when it’s unwarranted. Though her Elders see potential in her raw power, she has a lot to learn before she can become a true mage.
Nikolas is a Plantlife mage Minotaur. He’s a brilliant mind with a bionic leg that he crafted himself after a terrible accident. His brutesque appearance scares away even the most hostile of enemies, and he is thankful, for he is pacifistic and very, very shy.
Karimah is a Shadow mage werewolf. She’s Pip’s best friend and often plays the straight man to Pip’s antics. Her sense of humor is dry and biting. She loves being in her werewolf form, but her culture forbids her to transform unless in battle, so she usually stays a human.
Yu is a Thunder mage Qilin. A traveler like Nikolas, Yu hails from a royal bloodline and is said to have once been a queen, but was exiled for mysterious reasons. She has gone a bit senile in her old age, and develops romantic attraction to random inanimate objects.
Coldhearted will likely become a PMV series (that will move very slowly, mind you!) after life and TRIO settle down. Stay tuned!

WHEW! Long time no real video, huh? I planned for this PMV to be a lot more ambitious, but due to spoiler-y content (TRIO’s only on chapter two right now, haha) I cut the initially two-minute run time to one minute and fifteen seconds. In addition, I’m horrendously busy at the moment and don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to for-fun stuff. Hopefully that’ll change once classes and personal stuff settles down around August or so.
I made this thing in two days as a way to build up my drawing stamina again. Yup. Two whole days.
I plan to make an even bigger TRIO PMV that deals with the actual plot when it kicks off. Currently, chapter three, which is where the real plot begins, will be uploaded on August 3rd. Chapters come out on the third of every month, so keep your eyes peeled!
The color palettes in this PMV are a callback to the novel’s cover and the failed experiment of a comic’s first few pages, respectively. Just a little fun fact ^^ Oh and yes, I did redraw some panels from the comic to fit in this video.
What kind of videos do you guys want to see from me? PMVs? Memes? Animatics? I’m good for anything! I want to start making videos promoting not only my own story but also other peoples’. I still have a PMV commission on the way, for example!
Enjoy!
SENDSPACE: sendspace.com/file/ndhg77
I didn't have a lot of time to add more than simple headbobs and editing to this because of commissions, coursework, and TRIO's buffer pages waiting for me. x_x;; I hope it's good enough, Chii!
Here's a better look at the Dragon! He's a pretty sadistic guy. The spirit thing at the end of the video is Pip's very own demon spirit. All mages in Congealed have them, but they are rarely seen, unless the mage loses all control of their Magic.
Here's where I got the backgrounds from: youtube.com/watch?v=uuNHUqOpDAg
The fire is indeed mine, but I heavily referenced from a tutorial. Fire is really hard. ;;
Enjoy!
Satisfied Squirrelflight and Leafpool MAP
HEY GUESS WHAT MAP I GOT A PART IN KINDA OUTTA LUCK. I was moving towards hiatus when this MAP came out so I never asked for a part initially, but I’m glad I have one now! The final shot is subject to change.
Courage Ravenpaw MAP
I did this storyboard while I was still using TVPaint so it’s a little messy. Just Ravenpaw looking freaked out while some big ol’ Rotties traverse the forest.
You’re Just Jealous Ivypaw and Dovepaw MAP
I really loved the idea and voice acting for this MAP so I had to join it! I love the relationship between these two. Not a ton of movement in the storyboard, but trust me, I’m gonna go all out with the lip sync in the final clip.
Enjoy! Satisfied and You’re Just Jealous will come out later this month, if all goes well.
SENDSPACE: sendspace.com/file/1kdlfs
HHHAAAAAAAAAAA I’M SORRY. I have a really bad habit of remaking MAP parts. I should work for Hollywood I love remaking things so much. Well, I mean, I guess I kinda have an excuse for this one? My last version of the part was uuuugly. It was my first time animating humans so yeah. I unlisted it, but some pieces of it will probably show up on my freelancing reel.
But yeah, I managed to finish this part within five days or so! I chose to animate TRIO to promote the release of its comic! It’ll be updating Monday-Wednesday-Friday for quite a bit. :3
In case the stage direction wasn’t clear, Keith, Luna and Madrone are chasing a butterfly, but their fun is ruined once Viper and Timberwolf catch it for them, reminding them that now’s not the time for fun and antics. What party poopers.
I have a couple MAP parts due later in the year, so I’ll try animating them with Photoshop. TVPaint was fun while it lasted, but I wanna try something different.
Enjoy!
Mandatory Book 1: Coming soon!
GUOOOOOHHHH IT’S FINALLY DONE! Two and a half weeks of pretty much non-stop work has culminated into this video (pun only slightly intended)! Teelia and I have been chatting for quite a while about a PMV trade, and we got around to giving each other scripts and stuff to go off of. I had a blast making this!
Oh man. Mandatory though? Mandatory though. This story is so freaking good. Most of the plot details have been kept in the dark, but the characters and worldbuilding are so fascinating and I often find myself coming back to Teelia’s dA gallery to gorge on the world of Media. It’s just so cool. Teelia is so so so super nice and I always have a ton of fun talking to her. You’re the best, man. (And don’t worry about the TRIO half of the trade, take your time. I just wanted to get my half out in time for Mandatory’s first book. :’DDD)
Now, what’s going on in this PMV? It is a mysteryyyy. Again, Book One’s plot is mostly concealed for now, but the book is coming out on March 27th, so we’ll soon know why everything’s going down! Poor Pictures. Fire bad, fire burn. I decided to leave out lyric text because it took away from the visuals. I really put my heart and soul into how the PMV looked!
As for future video plans, I think PMVs are my way to go from now on, for the most part. Animating really takes a lot out of me, and with TRIO being a PMV series now, I just enjoy drawing and editing more than animating. Hope you guys don’t mind!
Enjoy! ^^

Prey has been running low, and Luna, Madrone and Keith go out hunting on the outskirts of their territory on the Plains in an attempt to catch just one morsel of food. Keith’s eye catches on something that may not be prey at all…
IT’S FINALLY HERE! TRIO’s story has been five years in the making, with some characters’ creations dating even farther back than that, and the time has finally arrived to begin releasing the main story to the public! This tale attempted to take the form of an animated series, but life got in the way, and it is now a book! Follow Luna, Madrone, and Keith, a pack of young dogs, as they discover that much more than just freedom lies in wait beyond their comfortable territory.
This is the first scene of the entire novel, in visual form! I used the lineless style that’s also seen in the Prologue’s illustrations. I didn’t have a ton of time to work on this video (I wanted to get it done before midterms, and there should be a proper notification that the book’s beginning to update), so I sort of had to resort to this simplistic art style in order to finish this thing. All in all, I think the style fits the video perfectly. Special thanks to Illbringyoudown and her series Pandora’s Choris for inspiration for the video’s style and formatting!
While TRIO is no longer animated (for the most part--there will be animated/drawn snippets and PMVs/AMVs from time to time!) its spirit is still rooted in the animation community that’s grown so large since 2012, when I first thought of the story. Soon, I’ll be recruiting you guys to help me create an audiobook of TRIO, and perhaps translate the chapters into different languages! I want to make this story as accessible to the community as possible. TRIO’s second Chapter will update a week from now, as will the third a week from then, then TRIO will update at its normal bi-weekly schedule.
A big warm thank you to the voice actors for waiting for this! They gave excellent performances that accurately portray how the characters talk in the novel. Hugs all around!
Enjoy, and happy reading! Comment in the comments section below on what you thought of the first Chapter!

In her effort to slay The Dragon and restore peace to Pangaea, Pip teaches herself the ways of Ice Magic, only to find that it’s not only difficult, it’s also quite dangerous.
Most of this video is technically a month old, but I decided to revive and finish it just because.
You kids and your maymays! I haven’t really been up to date on what memes are hip and happening lately but I kept seeing this one in my subscriptions and I liked the song so hey why not, have another meme. I cut the meme a little short cause I don’t have time to add anything else to it. This one was made primarily to practice tweening and glitches in my editing programs.
Tweening is not something I am very good at.
Consider this a remake of my I Do Love You video I guess??? Pip isn’t as edgy as she used to be and her design changed, but the fundamentals of her character are the same. Ice Magic in the world of Congealed literally congeals--har har--the user’s body if they lack proper control.Thankfully, Pip has Magic practitioner friends to help keep her Magic from consuming her.
Enjoy! Sorry for the weird speed-up near the end, Vegas hates when I render at 1080p x_x

Something rather simple I cooked up today after finishing some tests for uni. This scene isn't canon, but Nikita does give Shark his eyes scars. Just in a different, more spoilery environment, hohoho.
So yeah, it's Shark and Nikita again, duking it out as always! These guys don't show up in the book until chapters Four and Eight, respectively, but they're key players (duh) so here's another MAP part all about them!
I... don't really have much to say about this one? My wrist was giving me crap and my condition was kinda acting up too. But nothing stops Shilly, not even foreshadowing carpal tunnel! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go exercise said wrist before it turns into ACTUAL carpal tunnel. I need another hobby.
Enjoy!
I do not nor wish to make profit off of this video.
This is The Force Awakens, a Multi Animator Project celebrating this community’s original stories and characters! Some are complete, some are in progress, some have since evolved into even bigger stories. We can’t forget how impactful original stories have been on this little community, so why not make a MAP all about the scenes, characters and plots we’ve come to love?
I wanted to make the credits more Star Wars-inspired, but alas, my editing program is too simple for that, and copyright’s a bit of an issue, so apologies, no classic scrolling text. I chose Star Wars music to reflect the classic story that has had such a huge impact on modern storytelling. Also I just adore Star Wars.
From the forests of Bloodlines to the land of Media to a galaxy far far away, there are fourteen original stories featured in this project. Each has their own unique telling of plot, and range from alternate takes of already-told tales to never-been-heard-of worlds.
I encourage everyone watching this MAP to dabble in creating an original story. You’ll never know where your creative juices will flow-- maybe you’ll end up with a fully fleshed out tale like some of the stories seen here!
Enjoy!
Music pieces featured are The Force Awakens Theme and Finale, both composed and orchestrated by John Williams. I do not nor wish to make profit off of this content.

ANOTHER MAP PART DONE. This one was waaaay overdue and I’m really, really sorry for that. I’m going to try and cut down on MAPs and memes and all that stuff and focus on getting TRIO out and work on my animation reel/portfolio. My next part will feature more humans than just Karimah, lol.
This part was done for VFX practice! Fire, lightning, energy, all that good stuff. I don’t have too much experience animating that kind of thing and I think it came out alright. Congealed won’t be animated, but it’s good to learn how to animate all this stuff anyways. Sorry some of the character animation isn’t that stellar, my animation muse and stamina left me halfway through working on this.
In this little snippet (that most likely isn’t a canon scene), the main crew--Pip, Karimah, Yu, and Nikolas--face off against the very Dragon they’ve journeyed so far to slay. He’s big, he’s mean, and he’s not going down without a fight. Thankfully, the found family of four have practiced their magic together so that they’re able to combine their different elements (Ice, Shadow, Thunder, and Plantlife) to create a force field so strong it can deflect the Dragon’s powerful flame!
I hope this follows the theme of the MAP! There’s a lot of tension between the Congealed crew and the Dragon; here’s hoping this conveys that well enough.
Oh, and if you’re still reading this, I have art commissions open! Take a look :3c http://godshilla.deviantart.com/journal/shilly-s-commissions-658116987

Song: Nature Boy - AURORA (cover)
*my thoughts uploading this MAP* I shouldn't... I will. I'm gonna. I did.
Yeah, I know. I probably should’ve waited till Handlebars and TFA are done, but this call has been done since the beginning of the month and self control isn't something I'm known for. They're both on the brink of completion will only two parts left, so expect them soon! I’ve always wanted to use an AURORA song in a video, and I’ve been pining for a MAP that focuses on atmosphere. So...
Say hello to my newest MAP, Nature Boy!
This MAP’s basic idea is to emphasize backgrounds, color, mood, and atmosphere. I believe that not enough animators get experience from that in MAPs. There are MAPs focusing on character animation, so why not one that focuses on backgrounds? We all need some extra practice with those pesky landscapes.
RULES:
-The most important rule is that this MAP is background and atmosphere-oriented. I want fine detail in the backgrounds, a good range of colors, and NO CLOSE-UPS of characters. That means no extreme close-ups of eyes or heads. The entire body of the character must be featured in most of the shots.
-Not a ton of animation is required for this MAP. Again, the emphasis is mostly on the backgrounds and camera movement, not the characters.
-The song is called “Nature Boy,” so I’d like for parts to be set in natural landscapes. There can be unnatural or manmade buildings or lighting, such as a house on a hill or ancient ruins, but keep them to a minimum.
-The mood of your part is up to your interpretation. It can be whimsical, creepy, adventurous, it’s how you feel your part sounds. Use whatever color palette you want, as long as unnatural lighting is, once more, kept to a minimum.
-OCs only! It's okay to use OCs from copyrighted series, but absolutely NO copyrighted characters are to be in your parts. All species are allowed.
-Your part can be a bit bloody, but PLEASE no extreme gore!
-As usual, one part per person.
-Do not add a watermark please! I'll add watermarks when I edit the video.
-Please, please make your video 1280x720 or 1920x1080! I don't want to have to stretch your beautiful animations.
-To submit your part, create a Sendspace and link me the video or email me at shillyyshally@gmail.com. IN ADDITION, SEND ME A PNG FILE OF ONE OF THE BACKGROUNDS YOU DREW. I’m gonna use it for the credits!
-If you’ve read the rules, tell me what kind of environment this song reminds you of! Do you think it's haunting? Whimsical? Mysterious?
Deadline is June 1st. Why so far away? Well, I don’t want a repeat of my other MAPs, that’s why. I want everyone to take their time. I’m aiming for everyone to get their parts in by this date. If you need an extension, PLEASE let me know ahead of time. Parts will be chosen in the next 24 hours unless response builds up too fast; I will choose parts earlier if so.

Happy New Year (it’s still the 1st where I am, lol) and thanks for subscribing; have a little meme!
This… barely looks like the original video lmfao. I took a few liberties with some stuff. Beings is actually one of my favorite memes, and I really liked the idea of using it to showcase characters, so viola! Here are all the characters in TRIO that have at least three lines of dialogue. There aren’t a ton of major characters, so I had to stretch a little bit. TRIO’s actual tone is a bit darker than this video, so let’s say it’s set before Chapter One lol. Btw I know the timing/spacing of the animation at the end is kinda weird, it’s meant to be bouncy like that. ;)
I released the names of all the characters on my Twitter, so I might as well list them here in order of appearance (clears throat): Laelaps, Radar, Isabelle, Hollyhock, Hollyhock’s brothers, Nikita, Shark, Maya, Ruby, Winter, Lafayette, Rex, Roxy, Blu, Cahir, Timberwolf, Missy, Hatchet, Sycamore, Lilac, Hurricane, Crystal, Sol, Maximillion, Luna, Madrone, and Keith.
WHEW. That’s a lot of dogs. I just wanted something simple and fun, not a ton of fancy animation. It was a nice break from MAPs but I really must finish my last part. ;_; So back to TVPaint, I guess!
Since I (strategically) posted this on New Year’s day, let’s look back on 2016 in retrospect!
It sucked.
Personally, I mean. I’m sure it was great for other people, but for me it was pretty bad. Here’s hoping 2017 will be much better! I have confidence that it will be, especially since TRIO is starting then! How’d you guys spend your New Year’s eve? I watched Star Wars with a bunch of friends. :’D
Expect longer, more detailed videos from me this year, and hopefully, no hiatuses.
Enjoy!
Song is Beings by Madeon. Drawn and animated in SAI, edited in After Effects and Vegas Movie Studio.

FINALLY! One more thing to check off my to-do list! This part took me forever to complete. I’m glad I don’t have to work on it anymore. :’) Once 2017 starts, I won’t be taking that many MAP parts. I just don’t have the time to work on them anymore.
This is for my pal Richie’s last MAP! Even before I joined the MAP community I’d watched her MAPs; they were so ahead of their time. Vladimir Grustov remains one of my favorite MAPs, ever. So glad to not only be a part of that one, but of this one, too! I got the first part, so I wanted it to look as smooth as possible. The result? Over 200 individual frames of character animation and those backgrounds. Whoops.
I played around with the multiplane camera a bit. Nothing too special, but I think it turned out nicely. Wheee panning shots!
Here we have the Trio--Luna, Madrone, and Keith--crossing a steep creek that might appear familiar once the Prologue is officially released. What do they see beyond it? Chapter One will reveal the answer! I played around with how they individually animated, and tried to show their personalities without any dialogue. This part might feel a bit more emotional and adventurous than the rest, but to the Trio, adventure is their tranqulity. They can have their quiet moments, but I didn’t want to animate that. I wanted to offer this MAP some energy!
Another little thing: Luna’s color scheme changed a little bit. Her collar tag is now silver, and her eyes are blue-brown rather than blue-red. It’s kinda hard to tell though since this is sort of a pastel color-centric MAP lol. Also the Trio disappear for like half a frame for some reason at the end??? Ugh After Effects you suck.
My New Year’s video will also be TRIO-themed, and in late January, the Prologue and Chapter One will hopefully be up! Stay tuned :D
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, whatever you celebrate, I hope you have a good one. My holiday schedule has been very tight, ech. Making pastel portraits for all my close friends and MAP parts. Yeah. Not too eventful, but busy nonetheless.
Can’t Wait For Christmas PMV Palette MAP
MAP: TBA
Call: youtube.com/watch?v=_fBPagWxONw&t=112s
Nikos: Oh dear, I may have forgotten how volatile goblins are…
Yu: Did that box even have holes in it?
Pip: KLGJLSFDJGLKDGJLGHK?!
Kaska: (wishes the Congealed universe had cameras)
Didn’t have a lot of time to make this one very pretty due to life stuff; I hope it turned out okay! To clarify, Nikos (Nikolas) is the minotaur, Kaska (Keskaak) is the human, Yu is the qilin, and Pip is, obviously, the gryphon. These guys don’t even know what Christmas is. Does Christmas exist in Congealed’s lore? We may never know.

This is from late November, hence Pip’s odd design. She was going through a makeover at this time, as did everyone else, including the Dragon. Not much to say about this one, other than it’s a remake of an older part I did, which is ugly as sin and will never see the light of day.
Enjoy!
Okay, it’s not much, but I’m glad I got these parts out of the way, and I don’t have to animate battle cats for a while. My interest in Warriors has kind of faded. I suppose animating cats is fun however (they squash and stretch a lot better than canines and reptiles, that’s for sure).
Funny that you can see the time of completion/improvement difference right in the thumbnail. :’D

Oh hey it’s my own MAP that Itotallydidntlosemotivationforforlikefivemonthssorry I FINALLY GOT THE HANG OF TVPAINT! Huge thanks to Richie and Chii for giving me some pointers on masks and coloring and stuff. It’s starting to look a lot better than my old TVPaint animations and even my old Flash ones, too! I’m taking more time with inbetweens and fixing color errors I catch. No more cutting corners! I didn’t really use the multiplane camera in this one, but my next MAP part will abuse it plenty. :3c
An update video for this MAP will come out soon. Stay tuned!
Characters shown are Firestar, Greystripe, Sandstorm, and Whitestorm.
The Room Where it Happens
CALL: youtube.com/watch?v=ZEMj2wumFxo
MAP: TBA
I finished this one a couple of months ago and yeeahhhh you can kinda tell. The animation’s fine, but the lighting is friggin gross and the lining is kind of sloppy. I was still breaking out of my creative rut when I made this part. Nevertheless, it has character, a neat color palette, and it was fun to animate Fireheart making all those goofy faces.
Characters shown are Fireheart, Longtail, Mousefur, Whitestorm (for like a second), Runningwind, Brindleface, and Cinderpaw.
Fun fact: in my TDH part, Fire looks a bit like a Somali, whereas in my TRWIH part, I tried to make him look more like an Abyssinian. I can’t draw cats very well.
Enjoy!
I really would have liked to pull a unique twist on this meme, which is otherwise very lovely in its own right, but nothing was coming out right animation-wise so I played it safe. This is basically a carbon copy of Finch and Ozzy's versions. Sorry guys!
Since nothing that interesting happens in the video I might as well explain its context: Pip is actually a user of ice magic, one of the most dangerous forms of magic in her universe, known for corrupting the hearts of its users, turning them "cold" and otherwise emotionless. Ice magic is very painful to use despite being powerful, and slowly creeps up along the body and corrupts it. Pip, however, loves the feeling of the magic, because she knows the stronger she becomes, the more capable she is of exacting revenge on the Dragon. Yup, she appears to be a sweet and innocent character, but her whole motivation in her story, Congealed, is to slay the Dragon by herself. Good going Shilly, you made another edgy character.
Original meme: youtube.com/watch?v=7SOrztmeDeg
Okay but like I kinda-sorta broke one of my own rules with my last HB part: no gore. You could SAY torn throats isn't gore, what with 90% of the animation community having drawn torn throats before, but I count it as such. I'm dumb. lol
The Dragon (that's what he calls himself, as he is one of the last of his kind), in Pip's story, which is now called Congealed and will probably be a mini-series of some sort if I have the time, takes revenge on a gryphon village for hunting down his species into near extinction. The gryphons, whose intelligence and technological superiority rivals the likes of humans in this universe, are unaware of the Dragon's existence because of his dormancy. A small, ice magic-practicing gryphon named Pip is out for the day, and stumbles upon a gruesome sight...
I literally almost linked the Sendspace again. I have the brain size of a stegosaurus' tail.
Original meme here! youtube.com/watch?v=-RjLxYZ7zeQ
Yep, Crowfolly and I collabed! We've been talking over the past month or so and decided to make a meme together! This was the first collab both of us have done (well, I think I made one in like, 2010, but who knows) so it was a learning experience for both of us!
Crow animated/drew: Crow, Crowlly (our fusion), the Trio, and some SFX
I animated/drew: Shilly, the Overgrowth sheepies, the TriOvergrowth logo (which is literally the TRIO logo with tendrils on it lol), the ending picture, and some SFX
I also generated some BGs in my editing program and took others from Youtube and color corrected them.
Lemme just say it was such an honor working with ya, Crow. Time definitely well spent. You're a fantastic animator--one of the best in the community in my opinion--and a great friend, too!

Original description from my second channel:
Reuploading after I deleted this. Don't be surprised if this video gets a few more dislikes than you'd think; I'm struggling to block some dislike bots atm.
This PMV contains elements from TRIO episodes one, two, and three. TRIO episode one is well on its way to be completed; expect it done by July or August.
I originally uploaded a plot background, but I figured I'd actually keep the plot a secret! Instead, you can learn more about the Trio here:
Luna is small in size, but not in personality. She is bold, boisterous, and eccentric. Loyal to no one except Madrone and Keith, she will free herself from the shackles of authority without a second look. If she sees a problem in something, she will most likely ignore it unless it has anything to do with the safety of her friends. Luna has a tendency to be overly optimistic, to the point of it being obnoxious. She is terrified of hurting others, so much so to the point of trauma if she ever has to. She keeps her past a secret for unknown reasons. She isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but she has hidden talents that even she is unaware of.
Constantly surrounded by their best friends, Madrone finds great peace in the universe. They’re blissfully ignorant of the darkness that looms near their world. What they do focus on is their intense fascination and interest in plantlife. Outsiders tend to find this quirky dog very shy and introverted. Madrone rarely speaks, but when they do, it’s to voice a concern or share facts and trivia about various flowers and trees. While they have their back turned to the outside world, they’re very protective of their friends and territory, doing anything they can to keep them safe.
Keith is brash and hot-headed to outsiders, but soft and caring to his friends. He’s a bit of a worry-wart, consistently tending to Luna and Madrone’s whereabouts and keeping a close eye on them. He feels as though nobody listens to him, but he tries to voice his opinion when he can regardless. Keith has a short temper, often losing it and spiraling out of control, leaving Madrone and Luna to restrain him. His affinity for “babes,” as he calls it, is unparalleled, but he is not a womanizer in any way, shape or form. The bandages on his legs are a taboo topic, and if someone tries to bring it up, he bares his fangs.
Enjoy!
oh hey it's Pip again! And the dragon who burned her home down. Mean old dragon.
I'm still developing their story so that's it for now :3c
Sendspace: sendspace.com/file/fos3uh
I formatted mine like Neonwolfartist's just because I saw theirs first and liked it. :3c
Something quick and messy just to tide you guys over, and thanks for 5k subs! I'm glad you guys like my sloppy, bad-keyframey work so much. ;0;
Sorry for all the fang imagery, it was all I could come up with without spoiling anything. XD
No fancy backstory behind this one. It's just regular TRIO stuff. Which I am working on btw!!!
So this is another experiment with flying in dynamic angles and such! I'm not very good at it, but I'm proud of how well I did for my second or third try!
Special thanks to xAshleyMx for coloring some of the part! Without you I wouldn't have got it done in four days like I did! (I kiiinda sorta copy-pasta'd the fire from other parts I've done. I have to go to bed soon, bear with me.)
So here we have Pip, a young owl/snow leopard gryphon, flying back to her home, when suddenly, a dragon from her past has destroyed it! Mystery surrounds the situation, and a fierce rivalry begins...

for Izzy's MAP! Hope you enjoy!
I kinda got lazy on the background. i was working on this for three days and I just wanted to get it done. LOL
Ruby, the Aussie shepherd dog singing, is Shark's second in command and wife. Because Ruby is trans, they couldn't conceive a child so they adopted one in the form of the abandoned French Bulldog, Winter. Ruby is a little rough around the edges and vain, but once you get to know her, you'll find she's a family dog and cares a lot about her husband and daughter. Maybe not as much as Shark, who takes his role as a father a bit too seriously!!
Sendspace: sendspace.com/file/1iu3zq
i did this in like 3....hours? I think? animating this kind of stuff takes me a while
I swear my next part won't have any dogs in it! then another one will have dogs....bUT THEN NO MORE DOGS FOR A WHILE OK
sendspace: sendspace.com/file/zb7kyd
i really like the idea i had for this one! what do you guys think? :3
don't ask me how the fire got there. maybe the dog is part of the TRIO universe.
boy did flash hate me on this one i can't wait to migrate to tvpaint
sendspace: sendspace.com/file/ssaj4d
So yeah I am wayyy late to the party to make one of these! I just got the random inspiration to make one today and so I did! Never mind the four MAP parts, TRIO, and coursework I have to do...lol...
So this one features our favorite dog series friends, the trio! (and Nikita and Shark and Laelaps) I might as well go into their personalities a little bit more since y'all over on twitter (follow me I'm @nekotalias. I talk about TRIO and the animation community a lot!) were interested.
Luna, the middle spaniel, is a feisty, albeit kind of bossy pup who marches to the beat of her and her friend's drums. She never takes no for an answer. She is painfully optimistic to the point where it's kind of obnoxious. She is very extroverted but is socially awkward; she is a pacifist at heart.
Madrone, the mutt on the left, is an eccentric fellow who is actually a literal genius. They have a keen interest in flowers and plantlife, and express it through their enormous flower collection. They don't talk much, but when they do, it's usually to express their own interests. They're extremely protective of their friends and territory.
Keith, the greyhound on the right, is the self-proclaimed leader of the trio--but neither of them listen to him! He's very (and I mean VERY) overprotective of his friends, to the point where they find it a little annoying. He's a worry wart, and a little hot headed when it comes to talking about himself. He loves cute babes of all breeds and genders.
Original meme by the very lovely Silvaan. Go check out their channel; they're one of my biggest animation inspirations!
sorry this isn't up to par with my other stuff, i had a bad night but wouldn't force myself to take a break from this. this part went through two scrappings before i just gave up on animating humans (well, er, humans and velociraptors) and animated something that would make me feel.....what's the word? freer? i guess. so have zixiang, my old chinese dragon oc from way back when.
i'm not good at moving backgrounds around, as you can see, lol.

it's zephyr using her punch attack on the ground if that wasn't clear. she gets really strong as the story goes on (but she's a dumbass so it kinda evens out)
sendspace: sendspace.com/file/yc21zq
i had to cram a lot of information into this part and i hope it translated well. mudclaw's rebellion was my favorite part of the new prophecy so i had to animate it! i am never animating his design again though, no sirree. i experimented with color in this part; did it work out? who knows!
enjoy!

yyyeah i remade my part cause i didn't like it
remember these guys? they're the dinos from my bet u wish part! yasha's packmates are killed by rogon in the nighttime, and yasha is badly wounded. the fight haunts her, as seen in the bet u wish part.
sendspace: sendspace.com/file/ghfwh8
so I saw Ferrah make one of these, and I just had to make my own! I made it very quickly, so there's no shading, special effects, etc. just something easy and fast to celebrate my upcoming series, which I just finished storyboarding the first episode for!
time to start work on my animated series! well, after concept art and christmas gifts, of course. but for now, i'm taking a long break from map parts until i have to finish my handlebars part. i wanted to do something kinda quiet for this one. sorry no fancy effects, vegas was being sassy.
spepspebs: sendspace.com/file/tv7chl
GUYS, PLEASE HELP ME.
ANyways, this is for neon! blood brothers is currently my favorite animated series and it probably still will be for a long, long time. check it out! you won't be disappointed.
sendspepsi: sendspace.com/file/y1yt4o
well i did it again. twice this time.
i'm really on a roll here! this was fun to animate, even if the walk cycle is a little janky. oh well, walk cycles aren't my forte.
i'll send the links over skype!
it was an obscure fandom/oc map, so i thought i'd combine the two, with digimon ocs!
the evolutions go clopmon, cavallomon, boltcavallomon and athencavallomon, and nimdamon, klezmon, lissamon and creepermon, respectively. the story between these two is quite complicated, so i'll go into detail later when i'm not dead tired, lol
you might recognize clopmon from an old digivolution video i made when i was 14! her and cavallomon's designs have changed quite a bit since then.
sendspace: sendspace.com/file/zmirar
yup, its those red leaves again from the opening! do they have any meaning? you'll find out!
sendsleeps: sendspace.com/file/3mpqsj
SJFKKLGJLKDGJ DAMMIT rendering messed up the timing at the beginning. ahhh oh well i'm too lazy to go back and fix it aha
one might have decided to choose characters who literally turn into monsters for this meme, but i chose two OCs whose power corrupted them and turned them into beasts: nikita and shark, the two rival pack leaders in TRIO. remember kids, absolute power corrupts absolutely!
this is for daves non-het shipping map! it's ivyblossom :333
i totally didnt notice the coloring errors in the last sequence until i exported the file, sorry orz

Follow Luna, Madrone, and Keith as they find a way to survive while caught in the middle of a brewing war between two rival dog packs in a brand-new twelve episode series!
--
Whew! I really rushed myself to get this out as quickly as I could. I really want to move onto the casting call and even the first episode ASAP!
How does this look, guys? Okay, it's not really an opening like I said, it's more of a promotion for the series before I release the casting call, just to give you guys a taste of what the series will be like. Fun, action-packed, with lovable idiots as the main characters. This will play at the end of episode 1 and the beginning of episode 2.
The characters of Nikita (the rottweiler) and Shark (the shar-pei mix) are the only other characters I will disclose. Everyone else is a secret for now. :3c
Song is Combat by Deftones.
i just really wanna finish my series' opening ok!! ok
also i'm working on a 30 day animation challenge!!!! expect that video to be uploaded by early october :3c
