a very quick impulse animatic of pinefall & whitelight for an in-between while i work on another pmv (and a map part lol). i saw an animatic to this audio yesterday and it's been on my mind since, so it was very inspired by that
i was wondering if i should make this on some other ocs, but tbh, the next lyrics (which aren't shown here) sold me on this for them:
"This is how it always had to end, If I can't have you then no one can"
on another note, I actually cannot believe my laika pmv has 24k views, that is absolutely insane to me??? thank you guys so much for all the love and support omfg :( it means the world & more. i could never have expected this, i really thought i'd just be throwing my animatics into the abyss for the rest of eternity lol,,, i really don't have the words or know how to express how grateful i am, but know that i am!!

instagram.com/mazdrawsscold green eyes - ashfur & squirrelflight (2017 PMV)briqhtlights2024-09-24 | As the title suggests, this video, or at least the art, was made in 2017 - just about 7yrs ago!
I was quite young at the time and finding my feet in terms of art, and obviously I wasn't very consistent (I even forgot my own designs immediately into starting the pmv lol). But I was just a kid who wanted to draw on firealpaca, and dreamed of uploading this pmv (and many others which remain hidden for now) one day in the hopes that I'd get some attention like the big warrior cat artists. I'm uploading it here not for fame, but for myself, and I hope that little me would be proud
I edited this video with a vague memory of how I edited it in the past. Unfortunately I don't have the original editing file because it's on my old PC which I *believe* is wiped, but I hope to see if I can access it someday and retrieve all the old files because I know for a fact I'm missing a lot of files. I wanted to honour how younger me would've done it, and I think I got it across pretty well.
I also decided to include a small, quick 10 minute frame at the end to show you what difference 7yrs can make to someone's art lol
Very different to my usual content, but I hope you enjoyed little me's attempt at a PMV anyway. More OC content coming soon though! I'm working on an animatic at the moment, I've just been super busy!
and if you want to support my art, please consider checking out my instagram!
Whitelight remembers Pinefall so differently, yet he swears he never changed.
Could they ever have been happy?
///
this. took actual years off of my lifespan. SO much stuff has happened in the last time I uploaded, but also in the time that I started this (which was FOUR MONTHS AGO, BY THE WAY)
I've started using clip studio paint and I made that transition halfway through making this, so if there's any difference in art style or quality, that's why; not to mention the time difference so my style has adapted
uh, drawing Pinefall over and over was actually the worst and he WILL be getting a redesign purely because of this video (...not really; it's not true to his canonical design that he has so much white, i don't know what i was thinking when i made his ref sheet) so take this design with not only a grain of salt but as a literal lie because it will not look like this in future videos
anyway, I'm sorry for not uploading in forever. my motivation fluctuates so heavily, but I should be back on track soon! thank you for all the love and support always!

the host was lovely and gave me quite a few extensions, but I still ended up speedrunning this entire thing in 12ish hours 'cause I knew I wouldn't get it finished by my deadline. still, it's not so bad all things considered, though I think I would've done better/more in other circumstances

instagram.com/mazdrawsslaika - warriors OC pmvbriqhtlights2024-04-02 | Pinefall was supposed to be destined for greatness. He was always supposed to be the one that StarClan bestowed their prophecy upon. But he was cowardly, and he ran head-first into the darkness which he had believed to be his path.
Therefore, StarClan's eyes turned to his old partner-in-crime. And the weight of the forest suddenly rested on her.

so ummm i've never really made a pmv before. i've TRIED,,, i tried to make a mapleshade one back in like 2019 but I only got a solid 10 seconds in or so before I was DONE,,, I really hate doing lineart so that probably explains why lol. but this was a really fun exercise for backgrounds!
I saw the trend going around on my recommended and wondered if I could do it but didn't really commit to an idea. and then earlier today I fell asleep at my desk, woke up and the first thing that was in my head was the storyboard LOL
also,, I really don't know why I've been getting views lately but thank you so much for all the support??? I genuinely can't get my head around it but it means a LOT to me. thank you for watching my silly little cats :)

instagram.com/mazdrawsswait for me - warriors OC animaticbriqhtlights2024-03-20 | Even though Whitelight tried to kill him, Pinefall seems to have an inability to let go of the past.
He's always had strange dreams - plagued by StarClan, night in, night out. but when Whitelight begins showing up in his sleep, based around conversations they may or may not have had, he's tormented knowing they'll never go back to the way it was before.
Part of him believes it's real. But he knows as soon as Whitelight confesses her adoration and affection to him that it's a figment of his imagination. That he's holding onto the past when he knows the present is in front of him, and the present has teeth.

erm. i made another animatic at 3am. don't be like me
I storyboarded a whole ass PMV to make,,, and then got this idea last night and made it within 4 hours. who needs a well-thought out PMV anyways...!
I think about these little guys far too much,,, and now people are feeding into it by watching my last animatic !??! I genuinely can't fathom that it has 14k views I'm still in shock every time I look at my channel LOL thank you guys sm

They might've lost the respect and affection they once had for one another. But they'd grown up side-by-side for many years. And as the separation and hatred swelled, so did the tension. Old feelings flutter past, decayed and dead, yet their still-beating hearts recognise the nostalgia.
Ultimately, Whitelight and Pinefall were always going to be connected in some way.

not exactly a canon scene (yet, i'm undecided) but here's a small thing i made while delirious with lack of sleep at 4am LOL i can't stop thinking about my silly little warrior cats ocs that i made when i was SEVEN YEARS OLD. god that was so long ago now

songs used: gotta be somebody - nickelback runaway baby - bruno marsyoure a killer - warriors OC animaticbriqhtlights2023-12-08 | When they were kits, everything was so simple. Kittypet life was handed to them on a golden platter. But Socks was never satisfied, so her best friend Spot came with her to investigate the forest. A group by the name of ThunderClan took them under their wing; Socks became Whitepaw, and Spot, Thornpaw.
Together the two grew and trained. But Thornpaw was beginning to go down a different path than Whitepaw. Plagued by visions from StarClan at night that placed burdens he didn't want, feeling thrown around and disregarded by the cats he thought he loved, and becoming a cat completely different than who he used to be, one day he snaps. It all becomes too much for Thorntail when Adderpaw speaks out in defense of attackers who had not only trespassed on their home, but had attacked Thorntail. In blind fury, Thorntail strikes the young apprentice. He dies on the scene.
Whitelight no longer recognises her best friend and potentially almost-lover. And so, many moons later, when they reunite, she has no qualms in showing him what has changed; how much stronger she's become and how she's no longer led by his manipulative ways. And she avenges her late Clanmate. Or, so she hopes. Whitelight does not turn back.

uh, very convoluted version of this story,,, but a version nonetheless!! I've been making this warrior cats fanfic since I was like, 7 or 8 years old. these characters have been in my heart since then and recently I got really hyperfixated on them and made this in about 48 hours total. It's not my best work but I really wanted to keep it loose while also getting in detail. my more detailed animatics will be coming out at a later date when i get the motivation and time to work on them lol
these two mean a lot to me,,, so i hope you can enjoy this, too :)

ft, Whitelight (white cat with blue eyes) she/her Gorsecloud (brown-and-white cat with amber eyes) he/him and a brief frame of Thorntail/Pinefall (he/him) in the beginningthe christmas kidsbriqhtlights2023-09-07 | “So you can’t give up,” Madison said, and the storm in her eyes glowered. “You have to fight. No matter what.” And I thought, but only for a moment, with the way she spoke with such conviction and heavy breaths - had people given up in the past? People she’d known? Had they handed themselves in?
. . .
Madison (girl with ponytail), one of the main protagonists of my book, has had a rough few years within the setting of the book. When she first arrived, she met three other kids: Xavier, Molly and, finally, Jaime. Jaime had been there the longest out of all four, and he was easily the oldest - standing at 18, whereas Madison when she arrived was 11.
Unfortunately, the will and the drive to keep going and to keep fighting can't always live forever. And sometimes, it's easier to lay your weapons to rest than it is to keep going.
She still thinks about them from time to time; now older; now more tired; perhaps she understands why Jaime made the decision that he did.

a lil OC animatic :3 pls forgive how bad the first few frames are -- I made them at like 2/3am with no warmup beforehand LMAO ,,,
as aforementioned in other videos, my "someone gets hurt" animatic is one of my most popular ones and, yes, these are the same characters (or at least, Madison is.). i decided a couple years back now that i'd rewrite the entire book by myself as, back in 2020, it was a shared project and the writing was split mostly 50/50 between me and another person. that made it quite, uh, let's just say an "interesting" clash of writing styles.
so!! yeah!! some Madison backstory!! :D so much info dumping my bad ;;façadebriqhtlights2023-05-22 | put on a happy smile. pray it doesn't come back to haunt you.
something very different!!! but i wanted to upload it since it's been forever since i've uploaded an animatic,,, soon i'll finish one i swear. soon. im just Very overloaded with work atmbeaten ; speedpaintbriqhtlights2023-05-03 | a speedpaint of one of my human OCs, Aspen (who's shared between me & my beloved partner - technically, she's their OC, but I write them, sooo...), who belongs to my book that I'm writing. this is a scene in the second half of the book that I haven't yet written but it's been on my mind. I can't explain context, nor can I put the original song this was inspired by, as one of my subscribers is a beta reader of this book and I can't afford her knowing any spoilers!!
anyways, I've been beating myself up about my art recently. I've hardly finished any animatics because of it and it's becoming a serious issue where art just feels stressful and like a chore because of the commissions I have stacked up. so I pulled myself back and sat down and drew something out of a passion-inspired moment because the song this scene has some inspiration by came on on my playlist. It was really refreshing to not think about trying to please anyone or get it perfect, which is why I kept it sketchy, and lived by my own gentle standards. it was more fun than I've had in a while making anything and I think that shows with the quality of the art itself.
also sorry for not uploading in a YEAR? i can't believe it's been that long??? but I hadn't done a speedpaint in forever so I figured this was an easy upload while I will myself into finishing my animatics - but my commissions come first, so, animatics later. sorry!
side note: perspective SUCKS. i didn't use a single reference aside for the hands so it took me so long to get the sketch down even tho it feels like nothing here

it's of my character, thorntail, who also changes his name to pinefall later on! he's one of the characters in my warrior cats book (talked about in my previous animatic)
i don't wanna get into his lore that much but essentially he came to thunderclan with his best friend, whitelight, (who he later falls for), and became a warrior. the two grew distant due to some circumstances, and then thorntail murdered an apprentice in a rage. leaving thunderclan (voluntarily exiling himself), thorntail joins shadowclan where he's renamed to be pinefall. frogstar, leader of shadowclan, demotes his deputy to promote pinefall to his deputy. later on, after thunderclan has their cougar attack, he spots his best friend at the gathering with another tom and he grows jealous and confused and angry. lots more plot ensues, and then pinefall later dies at the paws of someone who i wont disclose the name of (or does he die? who knows. guess I'll have to finish the book and publish it for anyone to know)forestpawbriqhtlights2022-03-01 | "Besides how mangled the body looked, Whitelight dragged her eyes to see the face and could feel tears choke up her throat. The soulless body of Forestpaw stared right back at her. Whitelight rapidly whipped around to Dawnpaw hoping to shield her from the sight, but it was too late. Dawnpaw had kept pace with Tigeryawn this entire time and was standing, frozen. If no one else, Dawnpaw would still be able to recognise her brother."
. . .
"The body was dropped into the middle of the camp, and a meeting was held to commemorate Forestpaw. During this, he was given his suffix to enter StarClan with - now known as Forestrunner in the hopes that he’ll be able to run freely in the hunting grounds of StarClan."
. . .
"Closing her eyes exhaustedly, Whitelight just wanted some reprieve from this now aching in her chest, but instead, her eyes shot open immediately upon hearing a wail cry out into the camp. Rising to her paws as the other warriors stirred, she slid out of the den to see Honeynose and Dawnpaw outside of the apprentice’s den, staring directly at Forestrunner’s body as he was taken by the elders to be buried. Dawnpaw was sobbing uncontrollably, violently screaming into the night sky whilst Honeynose curled around her, attempting to soothe her with gentle murmurs and rubs along her back. The RiverClan cats watched somewhat awkwardly, yet sympathetically. ThunderClan’s loss was not exactly their issue and yet it happened in the heart of their territory. And then every cat filed back into their dens, expected to go to sleep without a worry in their mind, whilst Dawnpaw’s cries filled the night air. It was safe to say that no cat got any sleep that night, and Whitelight found herself crying into her nest, too."
; ; ;
I'm sorry for posting so much angst on this channel but hey that's what you signed up for
ANYWAYS - this is of my warrior cat characters, Dawnpaw and Forestpaw!
to give a small rundown of their history -
They were first introduced as kits near the beginning of the story where our protagonist, Whitelight (then Whitepaw) meets them and plays with them joyfully. Dawnkit and Forestkit are sister and brother to their mother Snowbird and have been close siblings since birth. They were apprenticed later on in the book, Dawnpaw given Whitelight as her mentor and Forestpaw a cat that was not mentioned on-screen. The two were ecstatic to start being apprentices. Dawnpaw mentions how she's excited to hear from Forestpaw how his first time hunting goes, as Whitelight isn't able to give her a lesson right away.
That same day they get apprenticed, an attack on ThunderClan ensues from cougars and the Clan splits up. Whitelight runs off with Gorsecloud. Forestpaw is one of the many cats missing from the main group. The remaining cats are seen at the Gathering that very night. Dawnpaw is left alone with Whitelight and a few others (Rosestar, Appletail, Gorsecloud, Cloudedskies, Honeynose), and when they show up to the Gathering explaining that they have no home because it's being run rampant by beasts, RiverClan takes them in. Here, the ThunderClanners are trained by the RiverClanners on how to swim and fish. But on one expedition, Tigeryawn, a RiverClan warrior, notices a weird smell down the river. He's explained to be panicked as he races down the riverbank, the others on his patrol in hot pursuit.
Reaching the sight, they're shocked to see the dead body of Forestpaw laying in the waters, barely recognisable but still there. He is long gone with gruesome wounds. They bring the body back to RiverClan camp and Forestpaw is given the name Forestrunner for StarClan, despite him only being a recently made apprentice. Dawnpaw is left devastated and goes selectively mute.
the book isn't out anywhere yet because it isn't finished, so technically this counts as spoilers, but that's fine HAHAH maybe I'll release it on Wattpad if i ever finish it? I've been writing this bad boy for 8yrs or so hfjkaha anyways i hope you enjoyed:) and rest in peace forestpaw you did not deserve to die but I'm sorry i had to create some consequencestwo birdsbriqhtlights2022-01-20 | ella stop ending your animatics with a white background with white glow challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]
HELLO I KNOW IVE BEEN GONE A WHIE HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MERRY CHRISMATS WHOOO
it's my birthday tomorrow that's cool i guess
i would've made some sort of upload earlier on, but my computer has been out of commission for almost 3 weeks :" i finally got it back yesterday and in that time i'd been brainrotting about this animatic, even going so far as to storyboard the entire thing with a pen and paper, so as soon as i could i started making this!
i know it's humans ,, I'm not good at them I'm so sorry ignore all anatomy. INCLUDING that one frame where the hand is backwards I KNOW. I CANT BE BOTHERED TO FIX IT
anyways -- you may remember my "someone gets hurt" animatic. these are characters from that book!! i decided recently that i'd rewrite the entire book by myself (& we even planned a sequel), and these specific characters (girl with the fringe is named Austyn, girl with the swoop named Madison) have been taking over my entire mind. they're 2/5 of the protagonists of the book.
this is a scene (scenes?) from the sequel, i know!! planning a sequel when you haven't even finished writing the first one!!! I'm dumb okay
so i know this story won't make any sense, if you have any questions i can give unambiguous answers but i don't wanna give anything away. even if no one reads it, it's for the sake of seeming mysterious and cool okay
anyways yeah!! i hope you enjoyperfume (read desc)briqhtlights2021-11-24 | 2024 EDIT --
Just like my 'The Fall' animatic, although this is old, I figure it's still worth mentioning why it's up on my channel. I want to make it clear: I do not support Wilbur or Lovejoy. There was a time where I used to enjoy Lovejoy's music and found great fun in the lyricism; I related to a lot of the music, including this song in particular, but I cannot, in good conscience, continue listening to Lovejoy or even associating myself and my personal feelings with their music anymore. So, although I will not take this video down as it was hugely personal for me at the time, it will be my last video to use a Lovejoy song on this channel. Please give your love and support to Shelby in this time.

vent ??? kinda very personal but yuh i experimented with some animation here :D!! it's not very good because hand hurt and me me tired but there you go
also I'm not doing grayscale !??!?! whahahtaht!?!??! but it is white. and. glowy white at that. LEAVE ME ALONE IT'S EASY HASDHAH
feel free to guess at what it means but i don't really feel like sharing what its about so take edgy cat :]!
though i do wish to give a general idea -- it's just about me and my personal problems, plus a person that i had a chance with, once.
this is a very short (and semi-effort) animatic about some babies, floeshine and tangledwhiskers!
floeshine is owned by my friend (lionburrr on Instagram) and tangledwhiskers is owned by me!!
these two are a slowburn romance because it starts off with floeshine despising him and tangledwhiskers just being an idiot. eventually they get close enough for tangledwhiskers to gain some pretty confusing feelings (before realising they're feelings for HER), meanwhile she's reluctantly starting to hate him less and less.
eventually she admits that they're friends, one evening at the beach, and tangledwhiskers just smiles because even though he has feelings for her, he doesn't mind that she doesn't reciprocate. he'd been trying very hard since he realised his feelings to impress her and get her to like him, too, but since that conversation he's come to terms with the fact that she is content with being friends and he'll just have to put up with his feelings. he's an idiot but he's respectful of women ok
so then a moon passes where they don't talk to each other and the moon after, floeshine approaches tangledwhiskers in the camp at dusk (where he's simply sitting there and looking at the stars, thinking about her, as you do) and tells him that she's pregnant and he's the father. she panics a little - ("And I don't know what to do now! What are we? What are the kits?") so then tangledwhiskers, despite having been ecstatic at the thought of being the father of her kits, slowly understood that she was not as happy as he was. so he offers her support while the knowledge that she doesn't want his kits at ALL weighs down on his very lovesick mind, and he comforts her by saying they don't have to be anything, they can just be friends. and he isn't going to leave her side.
comforted by this, she thanks him and leaves, and he's alone once more in the clearing
and now tangledwhiskers is blaming himself because it's all his fault. and she doesn't even love him the way he loves her, and he feels guilty for being upset by it because SHE'S the one who's pregnant. he didn't want any of this, he just wanted to protect her, and be her friend
and uhh he cries n stuff yeah
she eventually comes round and realises her feelings to him in the end but at the moment mans is sad HAHAH
sorry for the low effort editing, i finally opened commissions and I've been trying to focus on a comm that i got!THE FALL | Petalmask (read desc)briqhtlights2021-10-19 | 2024 EDIT --
Although this animatic is a couple years old now, I figure it's still worth mentioning why it's up on my channel. I want to make it clear: I do not support Wilbur or Lovejoy. However, this animatic is very dear to me, as well as the OCs. Unfortunately, I associated this song very heavily with this character who was such a huge part of my life during 2021-2022. This animatic was also a huge stepping stone in my skill of making animatics. I wouldn't have the heart to remove it, but this, along with my Perfume vent, will be the first and last usage of Lovejoy songs on this channel. Please give love and support to Shelby.

OC ANIMATIC OK PLS,, i'd draw a proper thumbnail but i can;t be bothered so have my favourite shot from the animatic
this is the sister from my evelyn evelyn animatic & the main cat from my jealousy jealousy animatic! her name is Petalmask and she's the current deputy of WealdClan, under the leadership of her brother, Lionstar
this takes place after she takes her leadership as Petalstar, which is essentially when her brother loses his last life. basically just a hint of insanity! just a little seasoning!! a little spice!!! she'll be okay
they grew up together as rogues without any parents, instead being adopted by a large band of rogues that looked after them. they chose to prioritise lionstar (back then known as "lev") instead of petalmask (known as "fleur") because she was more independent and could handle her feelings better. this lead to her struggling more with herself later on in life because she never got to have a real childhood, instead having to spend her entire life cleaning up lionstar's messes and mothering him despite the siblings being the same age.
so when he dies, she's absolutely destroyed - her entire purpose of living, all that she's known how to do is now gone. and the one consistent person in her life that she's never known life without is also now gone.
so basically she just,, she lashes out on everybody and feels lost and all that. she doesn't want "condolences" and "apologies" for her loss, she wants her brother back
BUT ANYWAYS, ENOUGH OF THE ANGST CAUSE THIS HASNT EVEN HAPPENED IN RP YET
you can see where i warmed up at the beginning and where i rushed at the end BUT IDC cause it's finally done and it took me the entirety of yesterday to make (aside from me procrastinating ofc)
I literally heard the ending of this song and went "wait. Hold on." because I don't think it makes much sense to everybody else but it makes sense to me and the fact that I have the power to put down what I visualise in my head is,, incredible,,, and i wanted to utilise it so bad
this is just one of the very many animatic ideas i have for her, i just thought this'd be the easiest one to do because I'm. still not sure how the fuck i used to do full on 3 minute animatics but whatever me from 2020/2019 whatever. you pop off ig I'll be over here with under a minute animatics
old me would've laughed in the face of 55 seconds istg, she would've done something like this in a few hours whereas i took about 9 or 10
anyways yeah that's all, I might be overly obsessed with petalmask rn I really really love writing her and I have so many little thoughts and intricate details about it:) i'd appreciate if you didn't make fun of this one because I put so much effort into it, and a lot of love because I'm incredibly attached to my character & I really really have put months of thought and effort into making her and I'm still making her. i understand playful jabs but it'd be nice to have some genuine comments for once :]evelyn, evelyn (semi-lazy)briqhtlights2021-09-29 | p[leas dont bully me about the quality of the art I Know i just couldn't be bothered to fix it ok most of this is lazy ijaomkds
anyway this is ft my last character from my most recent animatic and her brother, lionspark!
she comes up to him with the idea of discussing how immaturely he's discussing and leading WealdClan (as he's deputy and he becomes leader), and he takes it a little more personally considering that's his entire personality that she's trying to "help" with. basically,, it escalates,,, and they start throwing out stuff like
"why don't you ever leave my side?! why do you have to be with me at all times? maybe i just want to be alone!" and petal takes this as "you never cared enough for me, and i always had to care for you more than anything. I'm just trying to help"
it hasn't happened in rp yet but it will eventually :D!jealousy, jealousybriqhtlights2021-09-18 | UHHH H H H H
i speedran this in about 2hrs ish ??? because my friend made an animatic of this character's brother and it inspired me to FINALLY get around to doing the idea I've had in mind for a week or so
so yeah it's,, really not perfect, most of the art looks a little Funky at points but idrc! I'm just happy I got it done & I learnt smthn with the animation too
I ALSO DIDNT MAKE THE ANIMATION TRANSPARENT BY ACCIDENT SO IF YOU SEE WHITE EDGES NO YOU DIDNT
this took. so many days to make,, every day was just wake up - open photoshop/premiere pro - draw - go to sleep - and repeat
I'm not overly happy w the camera movements or the quality but sizing the kits down was always gonna look shoddy
anyways this is like,, my first proper map part ever? I mean I've entered map parts before, but they were animation meme map parts from around, like, 2017-2018
also I watched moonkitti's videos ""quick" ashfur addendum" and "bramblestar is worse" while making this, I feel genuinely zero sympathy or liking to the two of them, but unfortunately for me the love trio (squilf, ashf and bramblest) are the big popular trio atm :'
ANYWAYS,, i had a blast making this and I really hope to enter more MAPs in the future! go apply if you can, it was really fun to work on & the designs and people there are super cool!!six feet tall and super strongbriqhtlights2021-08-18 | silhouette and virion joke animatic while i work on my actual ones HJKDS
orange character (silhouette) is owned by me green character (virion) is owned by a friendin the meadow ; speedpaintbriqhtlights2021-08-08 | a speedpaint of a mine and a friend's characters! they're fiancée's, your honour :] I keep drawing art for her and she keeps protesting so ofc i keep drawing more
the characters are chérie (mine) and owen (hers). mine is on the left and hers is on the right. big raccoon lady cuddling tall cat lady
I haven't drawn either of these characters anyway, and it was just an excuse to draw something lovey-dovey because. it's. been a while, ngl HAHAH

in short, Pearl meets Leah one last time, in a dream the night after she dies.youre not special, pumpkin! (EYESTRAIN WARNING)briqhtlights2021-07-31 | previously called "you're special, and i'm special!" but everyone is calling it this now so,,
pspsppsps come get your content crumbs
one day i'll stop ending my animatics with white glowy backgrounds but i just. they're so fun ok
using the colours for this was RLY fun?? i just used their eye colours but it was so so fun to experiment with,,
anyway these are dragon crossbreed with cats!! prism (mowgli in the audio) is a half-dragon, half-cat lady with a mace for a tail. she doesn't have dragon horns or scales or anything, but she has wings, fire/magic, and dragon-esque eyes
pumpkin (bhoot in the audio) is also a half-dragon, half-cat lady. she doesn't have wings but she has a tufted tail, curved horns, dragon-esque eyes and scales/dragon features on her body!
i never draw my dragon ladies enough but i love the idea of them being good childhood friends and then because prism goes down a different and more angry-driven path than pumpkin, they get split up later in life
i never knew what to do with prism but then i made a character called tempastas MONTHS ago and he was a crime boy and i just. i just knew that she had to be his partner in crime. pumpkin was a character i made a few months after or before prism, can't remember which, but I'm 60% certain it was in the same year i made prism,, but she's a lot more caring and kind than prism is so i don't think she'd go down the life of thievery
but i do believe I'D be the criminal if i didn't make my only two dragon ladies interact at least once,, so here's some angst of them. childhood friends getting split apart go brrr
anyways this animatic is about prism expressing her hatred and frustration for not being either fully dragon or fully cat, because she can't fit in with either, and because of her menacing stature and demeanour she can't make any friends (apart from pumpkin, who follows her around like a CURRENTLY PLATONIC lovesick puppy. maybe romantic in the future, who knows). pumpkin tries to comfort her in her own, soft and giggly way, knowing that she can relate to prism because she has also had troubles with fitting in for her species but because she's kinder and more outgoing than prism is, she's managed to make full friends and fit into groups of cats and/or dragons.
prism, being jealous, and angry, and just frustrated at the world, lashes out on her.
and so,, the animatic ensues
i was gonna make an animatic of prism and tempastas but dude there's no way in hell I'm finishing it if it goes in the direction i was trying to make LMFAO i got about 15 seconds in and haven't touched it for DAYSSS
I've been trying to make a bunch of animatics but i suck at continuing to work on a specific animatic. i must only make new ones. that's it. that's the video
I DIDNT MEAN TO WRITE SO MUCH I JUST,,, this youtube channel is one of the only places I'm allowed to make videos and drawings of my characters and Go Off and Ramble about them. my friends let me around them of course!! but this feels like my own personal diary and sort of,, a vibin space, ya know? even though i know some people will see this, mostly my friends, HFDKJSD idk it's just different
anyways yeah!! i don't draw these two nearly enough so i figured i might as well make an animatic :shrug: I've wanted to make one to this audio for ages and my first thought was wisp but,, i didn't know who she would be yelling at? cause lunar/loulou/solstice don't rly fit and she's not friends with anyone else. my ORIGINAL thought was someone yelling at /her/, too, but again no idea who would do thatwell, well, look whos inside again [stress reliever]briqhtlights2021-07-14 | there's just been a lot on my mind as of recent! I'm okay I promise lol, this is just a mixture of a buncha stuff hsjkdfrings ; speedpaintbriqhtlights2021-06-29 | a speedpaint for a DTIYS entry i made !!

lunar and loulou teach solstice to be cool. aka purple lesbian cat and very flustered banana cat watch as blue fuck does a cool pose on camera
ANYWAY i did this to commemorate the anniversary of one of my animatics! it's honestly still one of my favourites, so go ahead nd check it out here; youtube.com/watch?v=LrZy097nEW8&t
also, thank you guys sm for all the support on the last video. i use this channel purely for small shitty animatics of my ocs, purely for their fun and to make my characters come to life. it means a lot that other people care about my ocs :]i know who you pretend i am.briqhtlights2021-06-15 | REUPLOAD OF THE ONE I UPLOADED LAST NIGHT,, fixed a frame that was broken at the end
kind of an AU of OCS from an SMP? one of them is mine and the other is my friend's!
this was mainly to practice using premiere pro a little more, it's still somewhat confusing but I needed to learn it so I can focus on the bigger project of an animatic that I'm making. in the meantime, enjoy this somewhat lazy and short animatic cause I HAVENT UPLOADED ONE SINCE LATE JANUARY WOOPS HAHAHAH
you'd think i'd still be drawing, but, uh, no! no. i have not. demotivation hit me like a TRUCK
anyway --
VERY LOOSELY based off of this scene that my friend wrote;
[ The bright orange flames raged above the wreckage of what was once a home, the blinding smoke reaching the skies and painting them a dull grey, covering the once bright and visible stars, now desperately shining upon the lands, for someone to wish upon them. The damp grassy fields now covered in ash and scattered material of all kinds, and stained by the blood of those who pleaded to the same starry sky, hoping to never plead again.
It made Lucky‘s heart sink.
She still remembered every single conflict, every war fought desperately in the lands of Blank: People losing their pets, their faces laced only by grief, their eyes widened with disbelief, as if their doubt could erase reality. The warm tears streaming down their faces as they hold their loved ones tighter than they ever have, as if the grip they held could stop their bodies from draining of the life they had and held for granted.
Gazing upon the destruction of their homes, their property, their sanctuary. The one place they could feel at ease, comforted by its familiarity, the walls once pulling them into a tight embrace and shielding them from the outside, now left to rot on the ground, as the people, too, were left in the cold.
Lucky felt she had seen it all, yet it always seemed to sting a little more, making her chest ache, her hands tremble and her eyes sore. It felt like a wound left to bleed, with nothing to treat it, making her feel weaker and weaker each time, until- A soft thump made Lucky flinch, ripping her away from her thoughts, as she instinctively rose from her spot on the hill, her hands dirty from clutching onto the weeds below. Her throat ached in pain, and she could feel her body trembling in grief, in frustration.
She turned her head swiftly, as if to fear the consequences of noncompliance, only to find herself face to face with Ella.
in contrast to Lucky, she seemed at ease, satisfied even, her „sword“ resting on her side, her stance relaxed. A cold smile crept up to her lips as her eyes met with the other, as if she had already won in her own, unsettling way. The other stayed silent, not even drawing out her own weapon, but simply staring. Because, in truth, Lucky felt tired. Tired of all the times she had spent, screaming her lungs out, shouting insults and questions, demanding, trying, talking. Tired of reasoning, of thinking, doing everything in her power to stop the agonizing cycle of grief.
She felt the other catching on, too.
And as Ella felt the look of her enemy giving in, she couldn’t help but grin, because in her eyes, she had won.
„So, nothing to say this time?“, she began, challenging the other, knowing how the words seeped into Lucky‘s skin, burning her chest.
„‚Guess I‘ll just have to up my game then, huh?“ ]
EXPLANATION IN CASE YOU'RE CONFUSED
the AU kind of takes place like this, only "Ella" is aware of the other SMPs where they were both friendlier. where they lived happier lives, where they were even, god forbid, fiancées.
the 'why not me's are sort of about how this Lucky, b!Lucky, is wailing out to the stars above that she was (ironically) unluckily enough to live in this AU, in this world where she and her so-called "best friend" were now mortal enemies. where her "fiancée" was plagued with voices and a need to murder. 'why not me!? why couldn't /i/ have lived the happier life!?'
and b!Ella's 'why not me's are basically her asking /why/ they couldn't be happy. why couldn't b!Lucky just accept that b!Ella is this way now, and that she can't fix herself? and that they could! they /could/ live in a happier world where they were close!
but it's too late.
b!Ella knows who b!Lucky wishes she was. who she pretends that she is.nectar ; speedpaintbriqhtlights2021-02-04 | this is for a dtiys!! the dtiys in question is from coastallynx on Instagram, go check her out, she recently hit 10k followers :)
my insta is @mazdrawss in case you want to see any new art that i upload,, because i upload there way more frequently than anywhere else. i'm also not afraid of dms, so you can come to my dms to ask about anything you want :') it'd be nice to make some more friends
anyway, that's all, haven't uploaded a speedpaint in a while so i figured i should. this isn't my favourite art piece i've ever done, but i do quite like it,, i'll try and get into the habit of recording more speedpaints, but every time i record them, i either give up on the drawing altogether or the recordings take up space so i forget to edit them and just delete them off my pc for forever
also its HONEY, not blood. honey. youtube please don't come for me

find me on insta @ mazdrawss :)someone gets hurt | OC animaticbriqhtlights2020-08-28 | OKAY SOME THINGS TO GET STRAIGHT HERE:
1/ this is a TOXIC RELATIONSHIP. i can't give away much because of spoilers but let's just say the guy is older,,, *much* older than the girl. she's playing along with a flirting game to be able to earn his trust, therefore earning herself a reward of information- it's a long story but it's from my book which iwewill hopefully release on wattpad soon! but yes i cannot stress this is enough it is NOT meant to be romanticised please don't view this as a cute relationship it is not okay
2/ this took me like 14 hours lol
3/ THIS ISNT LOULOU AND SOLSTICE!!! these are PEOPLE from my BOOK, NOT from my other animatics. please don't mix them up. i would never put them into a situation like i have with these.
anyway that's all,, hope you enjoy cause this took a lot of paini wont say im in love | OC animaticbriqhtlights2020-06-16 | The softened voices of Lunar and Wisp behind her as Loulou sat on the edge of the hill, watching the sun thread strings of golds, pinks and reds throughout the sky. She let out a gentle huff, which was met by a low voice of which she could hear a grin through it. "Tired?" It said. Solstice. Of course, it was him! She'd almost forgotten he'd come along, too. She turned her head to face him, a smile tugging at her lips. He set himself beside her, his tail thumping the ground gently as he, too, faced the sunset. "I suppose a little," Loulou replied, not taking her eyes off of him. Her cheeks prickled with heat at the sight of his freckles, now gaining more light as the sun slowly dipped over the horizon. And then his amber eyes met hers, and she jumped a little, swiftly turning her face away. Solstice looked over the top of her head, toward Lunar and Wisp where they still chatted quietly. "Hey," He whispered, ducking his chin to reach her height. She looked around at him, slightly bewildered. "Let's escape for a bit." When Loulou nodded, he stood and bounded down the hill. She bounced after him, her heart pounding against her chest. The truth was that Loulou had had a crush on Solstice for a while now. Since they'd met, she'd taken a special liking to him. Call it cliché if you want, but even now as she watched his dark blue pelt ripple as he ran, her own fur would shiver with heat. The hill levelled out into a forest, where they both slowed. They were out of view from the hill now. They paused in a clearing, lined with bushes full of roses. Loulou was catching her breath, watching her small paws against the earth, when she felt something soft on her ear. She looked up to see Solstice, right there, putting a rose head carefully in between her ear and head tuft. She held back a gasp, her face flushing. He leant back, smiling at the sight of her with the rose. "You look lovely." He said simply. "So do you.." Loulou breathed in awe, still amazed by what had just happened. The night dragged over the sky, colouring them in an inky black hue. Solstice sat next to her - they'd talked for hours and hours, just them, alone. He was the only light in the forest, his paws, tail and face dimly lighting their area. She watched him as they grew quiet, and as soon as she was aware she was staring, he looked down and met her gaze. They held this for a moment, and Loulou felt her breath quicken. But then- "Loulou? Solstice?" From the top of the hill, they were being called. "We best be going." Solstice said, turning toward where they'd come in from. "Yeah," Loulou agreed quietly, slightly disappointed. "You go ahead; tell them I'll wait here for a while." Solstice nodded. "I was going to head back anyway. I'll see you around, Loulou!" He grinned at her before running off, disappearing through the trees. Her source of light was gone, and she suddenly felt less warm. Ugh, what was the matter with her? A crush!? You'd think a girl would learn...

Sorry for the sloppy writing asjhfg oh well I started this back in February but then procrastinated so wOoPs but at least it's finished now. I'm really happy with the result and honestly, you can barely tell where I switched to photoshop, which is a great thing!
find more of my ocs at my Instagram; @mazdrawss
also i was finally bothered to verify my account so now custom thumbnails hey woop unfortunately my original thumbnail was "tOo BiG" for youtube because youtube SUCKS so i went with this frame instead which is quite nicedear theodosia | wc oc pmvbriqhtlights2020-03-30 | they!! get their children!! and are babies about itwhen she loved mebriqhtlights2020-02-03 | this is a vent!!! these are real people!! portrayed into cats!!!!!!
ok so yeah uh this is a thing i suppose i've been thinking about the past quite a lot and it's lead me to some nights where i think about different scenarios, or what things went down etc etc. i don't regret anything that has happened; i have moved on from the other people, and i hope they can accept that as well as move on themselves. i genuinely hope they're doing well, and if they happen to come across this video, then epic, hello. but yeah i made this as a small vent/stress reliever? i've gone through so many friend issues in the past and it's still happening in the present but i suppose it's become such a normal thing for me now that i don't really think about it? it just happens and i'm like "oh ok" and then i try and go about fixing it. but i wanted to thank my friends for being there for me even through these tough times i have, or when i'm being overdramatic. i may not have shown them all (i showed the ones i spend the absolute most time with) but i seriously do appreciate you guys, a lot. so, thank you.
this has to be the longest description i've ever made on this channel lol
i won't be disclosing their names but here's how you can know them; cat with an extreme amount of fur - call them by H cat with a small amount of curly fur - call her by B cat who gets introduced by B - call them by G cat at the end who helps me - call him by F second at the end who is my friend - call them by C
these are all the initials i knew them by :') there's no secret code, just shortened versions of their names
so,, yeah,, bye i guess (all of my thumbnails were literally every 3-5 seconds of frames where im facing forward LOL)goodbye to a world / oc pmvbriqhtlights2019-12-06 | okay so like... i worked super hard on this like?? a week or two???? and im super happy w the result
