(I think there might still be a part open?)
Long time no see heh. . . been very busy with school but im on break so had time to push this one out! I have one part I never got around to uploading too that I will put up soon!
Anyway its Mapleshade as she flasing back to her memories, tried to go for a dreamy state of getting lost in her mind : O hope it reads!Scribble - COMPLETE - Firestar MAPTheWisestDino2023-09-23 | When Rusty first joined Thunderclan, he wasn't expecting the turn his life would take. However, as he grows to Firepaw, Fireheart, and finally, Firestar, he gains friends, creates bonds, and experiences losses. When Scourge comes to take over the forest, Firestar is scared, but he knows his friends, and experiences will carry him.
ITS IS COMPLETE! My third (technically second from when the call was posted?) Map!! This one was so much fun to host, it was nice to see how everyone transformed my script, and to collab with so many participants!

So this is a weird one! It doesnt really have too much of a story but I tried to focus more on like. . . themes. If you want to know more about this AU I have a whole tumblr tag where I have a lot of art and explaining - tumblr.com/thewisestdino/tagged/biblicallyaccurate!warriors
Yes they should all have the set of eight wings (except for Hollyleaf) I am very busy and thought I could write it off as an artistic choice tehe. This might be my last warrior cats vid for like. . . a while. I have just entered my senior year of animation school (wooooo) but that means all my time has been dedicated to my thesis. I'm hoping to do a map part or two, but the workload I have is enormous.
Scribble is on the horizion though, and I have a map part I forgot to upload. So those will be upDinner and Diatribes - Crowfeather and Nightcloud MAP - Part 18TheWisestDino2023-06-19 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=cD17p5FSPSI&t=129s
This part took me FOREVER but im so glad I got it done and I honestly dont mind the result! + its one of my favorite Hozier songs. A big reason I have been so slow is bc of how crazy my life has been - school, moving, thesis, fulltime job + just my regular life on top of that OOF But my thesis is officially entering production next semester so look forward to that, eventually! And hope yall like this part always love some nightcloudThe Serpent and the Stars - Part 55 + Small ad!TheWisestDino2023-03-09 | My etsy - etsy.com/shop/TheWisestDino
Was so happy to get a part in this map, especially THIS part! Jayfeather my king. . . I wrapped it up as quick as I could, bc its spring break for me rn and i dont want it hanging over my head when I get back to classes
Otherwise this part was sm fun to do, loved returning to this character and concept. So excited for this map in general too, its an amazing storyboard and concept.
And hope you don't mind the ad + my voice, I just figured it would be nice to add it here since its totally my brand heh plus to help chip in for my groceries20 Something - COMPLETE Leopardfoot MAPTheWisestDino2023-01-25 | This map focuses on the story of Leopardfoot as she struggles with her mate, The leader of Thunderclan Pinestar, leaving the clan and the loss of her kits. How will she survive her whole world collapsing?
IT IS DONE! Just a few days after the Warrior cats 20th anniversary, and two months after I turn 20, twenty something is done! This project was a joy to host, I learned so much, and am so proud of everyone who participated. I recommend checking out everyones parts individually in the playlist below, there is something special to be said about each one.
Also if you liked this song, I recommend checking out some of other SZA's other music! Some recommendations would be her CTRL album (specifically the songs Normal Girl, Prom, and The Weekend) and her newest album SOS (Specifically Kill Bill, SOS, and Ghost in the Machine)!
Her site (and merch!) can be found here - szactrl.com
The Lovely cover at the end is by Claypup, and you can find their soundcloud here - soundcloud.com/claypup ! They have a beautiful voice and I recommend giving some of their other covers a listen, as well as checking out the artist they are covering, The Mountain Goats!

This is my first speedpaint and I had so much fun doing it! Its been so long since ive recorded my work so I was curious how my process looked. I hope you guys find it interesting too! Let me know if you would like to see more of stuff like this
Also I know its been a while I have been SO busy (sickness, thesis work, a whole bunch else) but I'm chipping away at a bunch of stuff right now and hope to share it with you all soon enough : D2 Halloween Map Parts - Lantern Leaves & Smudge: The WoodsTheWisestDino2022-10-23 | Map call (Lantern Leaves): youtube.com/watch?v=oYpaMEfpKFM
Okay. I have had the most insane month. Basically a hurricane hit right where I currently reside. So I had to drive away from that and take shelter, still left me without internet/power for a while, THEN I had to catch up with homework. and THEN I had to coordinate an artist alley for an event at my school, which was fun, but a lot of running around and printing stuff and cutting out stickers. All that while going to college and working on these parts
Which I managed to power through! In time for Halloween too haha
In more exciting news though, I am soon to open an online shop (keep your eye out!) and 20 Something. Its so close guys
(Realized I havent said anything about the parts themselves. Lanturn Leaves was fun to figure out the mechanics of, super interesting. and I just tried to go for maximum tender with The Woods hope it hit)Crowsong MAP - Nothing Left to Lose - Part 23TheWisestDino2022-09-11 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=Yihw81imDGY&t=124s
Okie Another one. Been working on this for like, a month now? Then decided to finish it up this weekend as I don't have that much hw yay. Im p happy with how it came out? Not happy with the water effects at the end though : (Hollyfawn - Part 16TheWisestDino2022-09-05 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=a5FF7MV7Ydk
Saw this Map and I only asked for this part. Its just my brand. Winged cats? AND its Jayfeather? I had too. And it was so much fun to do, and relatively painless yay!
I put this together in just like, a day just bc i really wanted it done i have another part in my queue rn. But i am moderately? happy with it? Idk I havent done PMV in like a,,,, while,,,, but I kinda like how I did it? I tried to do a sort of parallax effect, plus with the movement idk
Alright I got 2 more parts in production rn but im in college right now so who know how long it will take hahaSharpen Your Teeth - Part 8 - BIG COLLABTheWisestDino2022-08-21 | Map- youtube.com/watch?v=c97r3MUFkLc

The first one was a map part for me which is always fun, and the second one was for Starclan's Chosen. I was so glad to get to help out with another part of Starclan's Chosen, and I have never gone over someone elses roughs before so it was a really fun experience! And Eqqnoq's style was so much fun to mimic.Serpent Sol - Part 121 + 122 + Some fun improvement comparisonsTheWisestDino2022-06-25 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=1Yso8mYJnEw
This part is featuring Feathertail as she is fighting a huge snake Sol in a cave! This map has a really cool concept + a lot of really interesting research behind it so you should check it out!
Was super excited to get this part, had a lot of fun doing it! I feel like a rushed it a little but I'm p happy with the outcome. I tried something new for the shading (Did it all with after effects) I'm not sure if I love it, but it was definitely interesting to try. I made the mistake of exporting with camera moves THEN doing the shading so it looks a little wonky at times.
Also just tacked on the improvement part because I was thinking about it, one of the reasons I took this part is because I had done similar movements in the past. I def have improved more since the 2019 one (My Hero Academia part) but from (the 2020 part ) dark matter part I feel like the improvement is a bit more subtle, but I have def gotten better.
Got this part done super quick, currently stuck at home with COVID so I was able to kick it out in a couple days while healing. Also this shading. Enjoy it you will never see it again, it was fun but took forever omg. (Animated it in adobe animate then exported to photoshop and painted over the frames)
Boots Call: youtube.com/watch?v=smVoWyBZkzs This is starring Sleekwhisker as she leaves Darktail, so shes her throwing her wedding ring off. I saw this AU and thought it was the cutest thing so I snatched up a part (You should check out the call its super cool to read about). I had a lot of fun working on this part, it was a super interesting movement to do.
Was absolutely ecstatic to grab a part in this, took it on during a busy part of college too. Its a pretty small part, but I still had a ton of fun working on it (And the concept for this map is so cool). I'm not super happy with it? But oh well I do like how I did the lighting, this is my first time animating in animate, then exporting to photoshop to do the shading.
Not sure I will be super active, I just got a job for the summer thats keeping me pretty busy, but I do have a ton of cool ideas for videos. Maybe you will see one or two 0.0Casimir Pulaski Day - Jayfeather PMVTheWisestDino2022-04-10 | Content Warning for : Animal death, lots of grief related stuff
This PMV may not be, Book Accurate, as I didn't reread this scene in Squirrelflight's Hope to make it but I remember reading her death scene and being quite moved. Basically this is about Jayfeather healing after Leafpool's death. Leafpool has always been the one who is there for him, and when she dies he pushes away his family. But in reality, he is hurting his family as much as he is himself by pushing them away. So he sees Leafpool in starclan, remembers who she was for him, and steps forward and heals with the people who knows, filling that role for Alderheart.
Again, I'm p sure this wasn't how it went in the books but I got this PMV idea in my head and could not stop thinking about it! Making this was definitely A Bad Idea bc I have a lot of homework right now but I got the actual frames for the video done in like, 5 days? Minus concept art and editing time. I am not super happy with it, I wish I could have spent more time on the editing to make it look better but ehh. I do really like how I drew starclan, I kinda wanted it to feel super ethereal and like it stretches on forever.Scribble - Firestar MAP - OutroTheWisestDino2022-03-22 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=zNtYKJrFh-g (I am still accepting backups for this, so you can still apply for that if you want)
Doing map parts for myself always hits different : D I also left out the first half of this part, I'll upload it with the finished map.
Went back to animating in photoshop for this one, honestly it just reminds me how much I hate coloring in PS ;-;. But I am moderately happy with it? The last shot was actually a really good test of my abilities and I enjoyed doing it!
I've actually had this map on my radar for a while, so I was excited when I had a chance to join! I'm not super happy with the part, not with the editing/animation but I really wanted it wrapped up so I just finished it. Doing the antler fights was definitely a learning experience though, a lot more planning that I thought. Was trying to think about the fight scenes in bambi when working on it. And the background were fun the color scheme reminded me of the Phoebe bridgers album cover for punisher
See? I said I would post another part. Also. . . Community Gardens Completed map is on the horizonHawkstorm MAP Part 14 - Collab w/ MudshadowTheWisestDino2022-03-02 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=IsMnovyuoDg&t=70s
I have liked this song for a while, it was actually featured in a show I really like, Dark on netflix. Its actually midterms week rn :grimace: so joining a weekend map maybe wasn't the best idea but I just really loved this song so I snatched up a part on impulse, and honestly I'm happy with how it turned out. And thanks for Mudshadow for helping with the bgs!! I'm not sure how long this would have taken if she didn't do the tornado and the birds + the editing and background, and they turned out so amazing!
As well, I have a few parts in progress rn, mayhaps I will finish them soon 0.0Maybe One Day - A Bristlefrost and Rootspring PMVTheWisestDino2022-01-18 | Major Spoilers for A Light in The Mist ahead!!
Okay, I know probably everyone and their Mom has drawn this scene before, but I read an excerpt A Light in the Mist and honestly it was really good, and I really enjoyed seeing how the story concluded. Plus I've had this song in my mind as something to make a PMV with for a while, and just never had the right characters/story. So here we are, the PMV is just that scene from the book set to music
You can kinda see which frames I drew first, and there is a lot I'm not super happy with it, but I'm glad I got it done. It was fun to kinda messy paint the whole thing, though I wish I got to work a little more on the bgs. + After effects was nearly unusable by the end of this it slowed down my computer so much yeowch.
Probably won't upload much for the next couple months, school starts up tomorrow! But who knows maybe I'll impulse join a map 🤔
Got this part done in, 4 days, absolutely spedrun it because my semester starts back in a week and I really wanted a part in this + I have a PMV like, 80% done that I also want to get done. I'm on the wc grind 😤
Otherwise I wanted to push myself with a fight scene because I haven't really done it too much before? The storyboard I was given gave me some fun options with camera movement so I decided to take this part. Definitely fun to work with the timing of the movement and I'm p happy with it!
Also I should mention the file name of this part is RECOVER_RECOVER_RECOVER_RECOVER_RECOVER_RECOVER_RECOVER_RECOVER_mistfittoys.fla .Scribble - Firestar MAP - CLOSED - 10/21TheWisestDino2022-01-04 | With Community Gardens nearing completion, I decided to open another map! I've had this song idea for a while, and did all the designs + palettes yesterday. Its based on Firestar growing within the clans, his nine lives ceremony and his fight with Scourge.

Put the parts you want in order of preference and include if you want to be selected as a backupSupernatural Dialogue TestTheWisestDino2021-12-30 | Basically over the first two weeks of the semester I consumed like 5-6 seasons of supernatural for ~nostalgia~ but then didn't have enough time to fully watch it. So I started this project just as a way to like get out my supernatural feelings. I'm not super happy with it? Its definitely got a lot of issues with the lipsync in particular but I thought I would post it anyway.
It was actually pretty funny because like a few weeks after I started working on this and had put it down for a while we had a lip sync assignment in my class. I made a separate one because this one was too long + wasn't using the right character RIP
Also I have a PMV I'm working on that I hopefully should have done within the next couple weeks? Ill probably post some wips on twitter so keep your eyes out!Mothwing: Faust Midas, and Myself: map part 19TheWisestDino2021-11-08 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=6BHQ_aCv8dE&list=LL&index=2&t=1s
This is a storyboarded map based on the Little Prince featuring, Mothwing! It was a pretty simple part but I had a lot of fun doing it and managed to kick it out in like, half a day yay. And I'm decently happy with it? Though I mostly did it because I have a ton of hw to do today so I used this to procrastinate hehe
Fun fact! I have a one direction cement stone at my house bc I had a birthday party when I was little where we made cement stepping stones. One of my friends was obsessed with One Direction so she made a one direction themed one, and then just never picked it up. I now have a One Direction cement themed stone at my house and no interest in One Direction. Huh.Were-Whisker, Coyotes Sleekwhisker map - Part 26TheWisestDino2021-10-12 | For this map: youtube.com/watch?v=YDBxrJW4MI8
This map has a cool concept, with Sleekwhisker being a werewolf, and Needletail being the one able to reach out to her!
Been super swamped with hw recently, but saw this map and decided to take a part to give myself a bit of a break. Coyotes are one of my fav animals, plus I love modest mouse, plus it was a quicker map so I thought I would just join. Honestly had a lot of fun working on it, I think I am getting better at lipsync? This part ended up being tough though because about halfway through inbetweening my computer crashed and my whole file got corrupted. I ended up retracing over the whole thing and taking out Sleekwhisker walking because I didn't have time. And then I ended up animating the whole reflection because I couldnt figure out how to make it work by just flipping the drawing because of how it overlapped.
Not my easiest map part experience but its a pretty short part so it was pretty easy to recover from, and I really enjoyed working on it. There are some things I would change but im p happy.Lay All Your Love on Me - Part 28 - Dovewing Tigerheart MAPTheWisestDino2021-09-03 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=ViRE-OyHDSA
This part features Tigerheart and Dovewing! I kinda rushed to get this done, so I'm not super happy with it? I kinda wish I had been more ambitious with the camera moves/ acting, but it came out okay. I def with I had done a few more passes on the blowing fur, or the lipsync. But there are parts I do like, I do really like the last shot! I was channeling the Lion King for it.
Also big thanks to @SpecterSkies! She helped with coloring :DNumber 99: Just As I am - JayfeatherTheWisestDino2021-08-29 | Warning: Eyestrain warning for this!! Lots of flashing lights
I really debated whether this was an AMV or a PMV so its simply a Jayfeather ~~vid~~. Kind of a small one, less than a minute, but I think it still fits. Plus I have had my eyes on this song for a while (if you listen to the whole song is it such a jayfeather song, its "Daisy by Brand New"). Basically this focuses on how Jayfeather is seen as like, weak and also a man of god first, and how he is sectioned off and isolated because of it. In the end he is more powerful than anyone could know.
I'm also not happy with a big portion of this video but am glad I got it done -_- . I tried to play with the lighting and like washed out colors. Hope it came across pretty cool though : D
College starts for me in like, tomorrow so I wont be posting too much. Sorry for the inactivity as well, had a busy summer, yada yada. Ill post some schoolwork and wrap up my last few map parts though, hopefully soon!Schoolwork and Unfinished Projects!TheWisestDino2021-05-14 | I just finished a (very busy) semester in college, so i though I would upload some of the schoolwork I did, plus some old videos I had laying around.
The first videos are from my traditional animation class. I left out a couple of projects, but what is here is most of my hw from the class.
The second vid is a quick board I did centered around the ram horns on my fursona weighing them down. I don't really know what it means I was just playing around with the concept.
Last one is really old (I think I started it in 2018?) I'm a little sad I never got to finish it, but the art is a little old now, and I don't have the same interest in the character. I think its still nice to see in its unfinished form though. The story is her getting bullied for being interested in astronomy, until a meteor falls, and there's an alien inside! You might recognize her from my first map part here : youtube.com/watch?v=MuNApi-tdRs
Thats it, and hopefully with summer starting I should be able to finish up my remaining map parts!(Montero) Call Me By Your Name - Dark Forest Map (OPEN 17/19)TheWisestDino2021-04-02 | Apply Below!

This part features Cinderheart and Hollyleaf! I ended up doing it in photoshop, which I enjoy, but it also made it super annoying to color and export. I'm not super happy with how it turned out, but I hope you guys like it!Animations of 2020TheWisestDino2020-12-26 | Here's last years - youtube.com/watch?v=I_gxIRokCG4
Its been quite a year, not just on a global scale, but also for me. I graduated high school this year, I started art college. I also animated,, a lot, at least more than last year. I even finished two PMVs, something I had always wanted to do but never really had the time to. I don’t love everything I put out, but I feel my work has improved, even from last January. And I am finally figuring out After Effects!! My upload might slow down next year (because of college) but I’ll probably still post. And maybe I’ll do more OC stuff?? Who knows? This year was very Warriors focused, that’s for sure. And I’ll probably post some of my homework too :D

This part features Ivypool, Hawkfrost, Dovewing and Brambleclaw. Its when Ivypool like realizes how evil the dark forest is :D. This is by far the longest map part I've ever done - clocking in at 21 seconds. And it was action! So I got most of this done during quarantine, and have been slowly chipping away at it since I got to college. I finished it up this morning, and I'm not totally happy with it? A lot of my boarding choices I feel like don't work really well, and a lot of the animation seems outdated to me now. But I do like some parts, mainly the one where Ivypool is running and she is shown from behind.
BUT ITS DONE! And my semester ends pretty soon so I should be able to wrap up another part soonCommunity Gardens - Hollyleaf Map - Part 1TheWisestDino2020-11-13 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=-REoxCJaZeE (This is my map)
This is my first time completing a part for my own map, feels pretty good tbh. But it was a pretty simple part, just some lipsinc. I'm not sure I'm happy with the timing, it kind of feels like its underwater? At least to me. But otherwise I like it.
Oh and the zoom in at the beginning will have like actual text related to the map in the finished upload.Restless; Sparkpelt Map - Part 16TheWisestDino2020-10-23 | Map call - youtube.com/watch?v=LZzLKutUEZI
This part focuses on Sparkpelt, the other cats featured are her kids (Finchpaw and Flamepaw) and Alderheart. She is supposed to be staring down Brambleclaw. I saw this map and loved the songs and palettes so I had to join. I ended up making it sort of in a painty style - it turned out to be a lot of fun - especially painting the camp. I was trying to make the light hit her fur as a nod to Firestar. I hope that shows in the part!Spiral of Ants - Antpelt Map - Part 8TheWisestDino2020-09-01 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=Fmrr9d1tSS4
First of all - I want to say THANK YOU for the response my Mothwing PMV! I am absolutely terrible at responding to comments but I read them all and really appreciate everything!!
Okay so this part - it might be my last one for a while. I am literally leaving for college tomorrow, and who knows how busy I will get. I still have two parts in my queue, but expect stuff to slow down (Not that I upload that often ha)
I'm not super happy with this part? I was originally going to try and do it with puppets, but that wasn't really possible bc my computer couldn't take it and puppets are super hard. So I ended just doing my normal frame by frame. I do like the editing though, it was fun adding all the lighting in after effects.Dreamland - Mothwing PMVTheWisestDino2020-08-18 | A PMV about Mothwing!
I recently read Mothwing's new novella, and it was really good. I really loved how her character struggles with her faith in Starclan - as well as issues with her family and clan life. Then I heard this song on the new Glass Animals album and it just fit her. So I speed run this PMV and got it done in like a week?
So basically it uses this idea of halos to represent faith - the golden halo is for cats that believe in starclan, the blue halo one is for cats that don't. Hawkfrost's is for cats that believe in the dark forest.
Also I should just say a lot of these scenes may not have happened exactly in the books, I just ended up streamlining the story for clarity's sake. Same with left out characters.Interlude IV (Showtime) Hawkfrost and Mothwing Map - Part 10TheWisestDino2020-08-11 | Map call - youtube.com/watch?v=xyorkYYb3RE
I think this is the fastest I've ever gotten a part done, I got it done in like a day? And surprisingly I'm like kinda happy with this? There are things I have issues with but overall I think its good. Also tried something with a blur bc without it was bothering me, I don't know if I love it but hopefully it helps.Billy The Kid - Scourge Map - Part 6TheWisestDino2020-08-06 | Map call - youtube.com/watch?v=QCgOkz8rIw4
This part is meant to focus on Bloodclan and their relationship to Scourge. Because the song is a bit more upbeat, I tried to make the clan really look up to him more than fear him. I think I sort of succeeded? I am pretty happy with this part. I did it all in photoshop which was actually really fun, it made me focus on the timing more than doing it in adobe animate.
The animations from the cutoff are a sketch for the walk cycle from shot 1 and a character I animated for shot 3 that I didn't use bc it didnt really fit what I was going for.War! Ashfur Map - part 11TheWisestDino2020-07-10 | Map call - youtube.com/watch?v=zDOFNdu4xBw
This part actually went pretty smoothly - the lipsync was definitely a challenge though. When I joined this project I was on a huge Zach Callison music binge, so when I saw this open I just had to snatch a part. I'm mostly happy with it? There are some issues I have with the colors and boarding but I'm happy with the actual animation. yayDawnpelt map part 20 - Wish That You Were HereTheWisestDino2020-06-16 | Map call - youtube.com/watch?v=CPBlmhHuxeM
Fun fact - the file name for this map is RECOVER_RECOVER_Untitled-2_201912115529.fla
Hmm mixed feelings about this one. A lot of the animation is older and I think it shows, and I had a pretty strong vision for this in the beginning that I don't think quite translated. I wanted the first shot to feel very long and I don't know if it does. Otherwise, there are parts I'm happy with - like the backgrounds and lighting effects I just learned how to do in Adobe Animate!
Also - two parts in a week I'm proudHard Feelings - Part 9 - Feathertail and Sasha MapTheWisestDino2020-06-12 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=lAoF0W-pedA (still open I think!)
I have several other parts with longer deadlines right now but I managed this finish this in two days! I recently read A Shadow In Riverclan (the new manga) and really liked it, and when I saw this map, with this song, I had to get at least a backup. So here I am! Lowkey proud of some of the tweening in this, its my first time doing this much of it (and all in after effects). So yay!
Btw this is Glimmer's coronation from the beginning of Season 4! It was one of my favorite scenes from the season and I just love how Glimmer has wings, even if its just for a bit.
THIS PART! oh my god I really wanted this done before May 15th because that's when the new season of She ra comes out so I rushed to get it done. And its the longest part I've ever had. And its HUMANS!! With complicated designs! It was a ton of fun though, and there is a lot of stuff I'm unhappy with, but at the same time there is a lot of stuff I am happy with! I've def improved from the last time I animated She-ra. Now its just waiting time until the new season hehe
Also the showrunner retweeted it so that's pretty exciting. :OFriday is Black 1 Month Hollyleaf Map - Part 3TheWisestDino2020-04-19 | Map call - youtube.com/watch?v=OWP1DxOc21k
I managed to finish this last night, and I guess I like it? There are a couple issues that would just take too much time to smooth over but otherwise I like the movement of it? I really enjoy doing lipsync and I think I'm getting better at it.
Also, two uploads in two days!! I got so many nice responses on my Silversand PMV yesterday I couldn't respond to everyone but I am so glad people liked it I worked really hard on it!!!!!!SilverSand AU PMV - All ThatTheWisestDino2020-04-18 | Basically the AU idea is that what if it wasn't Firestar and Sandstorm, but Silverstream and Sandstorm? Therefore Feathertail and Stormfur were not born and instead, Silverstream goes on the journey, and Sandstorm tags along.
I didn't include how they met but basically its this map part - youtube.com/watch?v=T8Y-KkDqRik And they stayed together but in different clans until they left on the journey together!
More detailed plot below - So after staying together for many moons in separate clans, Silver and Sand feel like something is missing, they love each other but want to be together and not have to hide it. When Silverstream gets a message that she must make the journey, she tells Sandstorm who insists on going with. They set off together with Brambleclaw, Crowpaw and Tawnypelt. Silver and Sand become parental figures for Crowpaw, and the whole groups becomes very close. After going to the sundrown place, Midnight tells them all they must go, so they start to head back. They go back through they mountains and run across the tribe, where they learn that there is a prophecy for a silver cat to save them from a mountain lion. Sandstorm defends Silverstream, but Silver accepts what she must do. Her plan is to have the mountain lion fall off the waterfall, however it goes wrong and Sandstorm has to save her, and Silverstream looses her leg. Silver is unable to make the journey back, but the rest of the crew does. In the meantime, Silver is able to adjust to life on three legs and both her and Sand grow fond of the tribe, become friends with its members and even adopting a kitten whos parents had been victims of the mountain lion. When the clans return they decide to stay, having found a home where they can be together (in my mind when their kid is grown up they visit the clans during the summer)
So that's it! The only reason I got this done in any part is because we are all currently on quarantine and I am literally not allowed to leave the house! I've had the AU in mind for a while, and its nice to complete a project longer than a map part. Hope you guys like it!STOP 72 Hour Shadowpaw map - Part 3TheWisestDino2020-04-09 | Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=vfud5leAr0A
This is a 72 hour map, but I actually managed to finish it a day early. Thank you quarantine. It features Shadowpaw, the imposter, and Dovewing at the end. I'm pretty happy with this part, I like how I did the tweening at the end. As well, the colors and lightning were very interesting to work with.
It was fun to animate Shadowpaw too because I just finished Veil of Shadows, which was really good!2 More Parts!TheWisestDino2020-03-27 | Another double upload - these were both small pmv parts so I thought why not. And with a certain pandemic I have a little more time to work on my parts.
Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=PSwOoI7nuHk This is another call with my characters, they have appeared in a couple parts before. I got this one done fairly quickly, 1-2 days? It was fun to work on and good stress relief for me.
Map Call - youtube.com/watch?v=ehKMuS7U02A&t=3s I've been a fan of Beastars for a while now, and when I saw this map part pop up I thought why not join. I'm not sure how to feel about the first camera move, I did it in adobe animate and it has some issues, + I tried to make the background lighter because of the rain, but I don't know if that came across.
Otherwise, I'm out of school because of corona, so probably more to come! I'm working hard on a PMV that should be out soonish, so look forward to that.
