fluffyloveyHave you ever like... NOT uploaded for a solid 6 months before? No? OK FINE JUST ME BEING HOPELESS WITH KEEPING MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL ALIVE THAT'S OK :'D
HEY GUYS I wasn't on hiatus I just am so busy with general life things and also having some general mental health struggles meaning my productivity levels are all over the show aaaaaa. I finished this MAP a good 2 months ago haha but I never actually got round to posting it here??? Like??? Bitch you ok???
Anyway part for Alex Harrier youtube.com/watch?v=_908rhFEnVQ This was ridiculously fun to work on, I loved the character designs and the song is really energetic to animate to (also the discord server was great cheers guys you were all great for encouraging my dumbass to keep going)
I have a couple more MAP parts to post but i'll stagger over the next couple of weeks so I can trick YouTube's algorithm into thinking I know what the fuck I'm doing and actually making regular content :D
Also when I finally get round to it I'll make a video addressing where the hell Unknown Blood went.
Background song is an XP sounds remix (not by me but can't find the original video rn sorry)
Strongly recommend following me on twitter and instagram to keep up with me on the daily :)

Oh my god I cannot believe that we have now pulled off SIX of these Christmas MAPs, all on time as well?! Must be the magic of Christmas! (and the magic of the incredible team behind it, as well as a little bit of caffeine driven last minute editing on my part lmao)
I could not be prouder of the team that brought this project to life – each and every animator worked so insanely hard to bring something of this quality to you guys, and everyone who originally signed up actually finished their parts with only one person backing up a part of a part which is INSANE as MAPs go, and all the more reason for me to be so proud of them. Everyone was so pleasant and so very dedicated in the server, and it was an honour to work with them all, I hope they come back next year!! (as I’m sure there will be another one of these lol)
I’ve always hankered after doing a MAP like this where the aim was to have something really flowy and smooth, with emphasis on the transitions and on the general atmosphere and holy COW does it massively achieve that! Communication was just fantastic in the team and everyone was able to sort out some incredible transitions, above and beyond what I ever expected!
Had a blast editing this one, and managed to get it done in record time for myself lol (48 hours with multiple breaks). If you wanna see the making of this video, I made a TikTok on it: http://vm.tiktok.com/5auNXd (I’m on TikTok quite a bit so might be worth following me on there for more content ahahah)
Programs used: TVPaint pro (sketching and timing) Paint tool sai 2 (frames) Adobe After Effects (editing and tweening)
Worth noting as well a LOT of greenscreen effects were used in this (all the fire for example and the magic effects), but all royalty free found on youtube :)
Like legit I'm so so SO very sorry for taking this much time with this part, I was a very much last of the line backup but still it took me way too long and I apologise for that :C
But either way, TIS DONE, and I quite like it? Maybe? I'm not sure I've stared at it too many times and I keep spotting all the faults with it (and continually astounding myself with how bad I am at backgrounds but there we go).
YOOOOO so this was an absolutely WILD part to finish, honestly one of the bigger challenges I've set myself as an animator, and I don't mind tewlling you I was a whisker away from dropping out before I was like "you know what, I'm gonna be hella dissapointed in myself if I give up", so I carried on and I'm really glad I did. I enjoy the final product and while ofc it's nowhere near Disney level (honestly what did you expect lmao) it was great fun re-imagining some of the movements whilst also recreating the essence of the scene ^^
Background music from WIP section is Underworld- and I kiss
BUT BEHOLD, AN ARMY OF HEADS (to premptively answer why there is no or limited blood present - these are decapitated head that have a) likely been carried a long way and therefor long since dried up and b) have no method of cardiac output (as the hearts are left back with the bodies in somewhereland). When a decaptiation occurs, the vast majority of blood loss occurs from the BODY, not the head. There will initiaslly be some of course as the remaining blood will exit, but most will stay in situ as it's located within the brain, and if the skull is intact, there should be minimal blood loss from the head itself. Thanks for coming to my ted talk, it annoys me a lot when I see so called chopped off heads in the media absolutely pissing blood because fam that isn't how biology works (and no, I haven't been doing them on the sly so please don't worry ahahaha, it's honestly just biology, and during our dissections at uni we did at times have to remove cadaver heads to access the brain etc, and honestly once the animal has been dead for a number of minutes and the blood has clotted, very very little actually comes out, cos you need a heartbeat to actually get blood to pump out #science)
// END OF GORE //
But yeah this was a bit of a pain in the arse to animate ahahah, so many damn walk cycles, but thankfully it was mostly just mindless tracing the same sketch lots of times, took a while tho (and bouncy feathers mmmm).
Characters featured l-r: Aki (from Chiibe's comic Manick), Fizz (Unknown Blood), Doreen, Rune, Kia, Slash (Unknown Blood), Loudeyes (my fursona shifted into wolf mode lol)
WE’VE DONE IT AGAIN EVERYONE, finished our now FIFTH Christmas Warriors MAP, a tradition that I simply adore (even if it can cause a mild amount of stress lol).
I loved the idea of using this song, and when I finally read the latest book series, I simply had to do something with Twigkit and Violetkit. This project was very ambitious due to the length, the addition of voice acting, and the fact it was fully animated, and for a few scary days I was convinced that this wasn’t going to get finished. I mean, it’s currently 3am on Christmas morning so IT WENT TO THE WIRE LADS but the important point is that we got it done :’D
Now for some credits:

Thank you so very much to everyone who made this MAP possible, I couldn’t have done it without you guys, and look how amazing the final product is?!?! So incredible ^^
Finally done. This has been sitting around for a while and honestly it was bothering me so much how close it was to finished that I sat down and smashed the last part all in one sitting... like a true professional (good thing ya girl isn't a professional artist lol I would be deceasded)
SO GLAD TO HAVE THIS ONE DONE ON TIME :DDD Cut it kinda close in the end given how long I've had this part oops, BUT WE'RE DONE and that's all that matters ;) Also THE BIGGEST THANK YOU to Blaze herself for helping me out with the backgrounds for this MAP so I could complete on time :D
So for those that don't know, these are characters from the PS1 game, Spyro: Year of the Dragon which essentially formed a massive part of my childhood, especially for some reason the characters of Bianca and Elora, so to animate Bianca was so much fun ^^

HELLOOOOO LOVELIES! A bit of an off-topic video, but the wonderful people at XP-Pen reached out to me for a review of one of their bloody lovely graphics tablets, the Deco 02. It was a massive privilege to have another company sponsor me for a tablet so many MANY thanks to Summer and the XP-Pen team :D
Was also great fun to join in with this COTW voice actors... challenge I guess???? Of drawing the character you voice, and ofc ya girl had to draw Ol' illogical hair Alari ;D
Songs are all from Stackin records. Drawing done on Paint ToolSai v1 Editing done on Sony Vegas pro 12
Basically Loudeyes is a shapeshifter, and this is her showing off cos that's what her stupid ass does :D She goes from Cat, to Lynx, to Horse, to Pegasus/Unicorn/Flying fucker.

But yeah the story in this part is that Jayfeather is up there in dream-land, and he spots Halfmoon (the grey cat), loses his tiny mind, runs to her and then remembers that she's a dream-ghost-cat-thing and that he's a dumbshit for being fooled by it. The end :D
Oh yeah and sorry about the janky mic quality, my laptop is just atrocious and my desktop has been acting funny for a while, so I used my phone which errr... pops a lot, sorry ^^'
Hope you enjoyed watching, and don't forget to check out my Patreon for early video releases :D
If you fancy a shoutout too, why not head over to my Patreon page :D?
IT'S FINALLY COMPLETE!!!! I feel like SUCH a dick about how long this has taken me, poor Tobi wanted someone to finish this last part relatively quickly and I errr... didn't exactly come through on the speed aspect (but I hope the end product was worth the wait :'D). Thank you so much for being patient with me tho Tobi mwa mwa ^^
This part was HELLA fun to work on tho, especially that leaf floppin around, for some reason that was so oddly satisfying ahahaah.
I swear i was having such an existential crisis trying to get this part right and I started it probably about 3 times before actually getting it done... a lesson in PMV formatting I guess lol.
BUT YEAH YA GIRL FINISHED UNI and I saw this MAP that Sally had posted and I am number 1 swiftpaw trash so I just had to join ^^ Was a really cool part to get me going again after near a 3 month dry spell of no art or animations practically at all as I've been revising for said finals lol.
I get my results on the 15th June tune in to find out if the hard work was worth it and I become a vet or no :'D
I felt extremely bad for essentially holding up this MAP.. BUT IN MY DEFENCE I took this part on as a backup quite far into the MAP's production AND I've been on rotations and basically dying for a solid month so just... never got around to finishing it ^^'
So like a few other lucky animators, I was fortunate enough to receive an INCREDIBLY kind sponsorship from Huion to review the Kamvas GT-191 pen display tablet. I have desperately wanted a display tablet for YEARS now so I felt incredibly blessed to get this offer from them.
This is part 2 of the review for this tablet model (part 1 was the unboxing and can be seen here: youtu.be/pNJVg2cEgaQ). I give my thoughts, my honest opinions and some things I found out about this tablet while using it for the first week of owning it. If you have any questions about this product and so on, please feel free to comment below and I will try to answer them for you!
(decided to facecam cos I just got my hair done and I wanted to show the REYUD)
The 2 programs I use are Paint Tool Sai and TVPaint (recorded with Hypercam).

OOOOOhhhmy god I cannot believe that this is the 4th year of me doing these Christmas Warrior MAPs, and for the 4th time WE ARE ON TIME YEEEEEEEEE I cannot thank each and every one of the participants enough for their outstanding efforts for this MAP, you guys all did yourselves proud and together we have produced one of THE BEST completed MAPs I’ve ever had the pleasure of hosting ^^!
So this MAP kinda focuses on more than just Firestar as a “Jesus” figure, with Feathertail’s sacrifice, Brambleclaw and the other 5 cats being the saviours of the clans after the forest’s destruction. I really wanted to do something with the journey because it was SUCH an important feature of the entire series and it frequently gets overlooked so I’m super glad I was able to get a script together that included it.
ANYWAYS, I really hope you enjoy the MAP, and I really hope you consider going to subscribe to some (or all?!) or these artists because LOOK AT THIS TALENT. AMAZING.
Idk why but for some reason this took way longer to edit than I originally anticipated? I really don't know why but I kept having weird issues with things, then I drove home for Christmas, then the huion arrived so was taken up reviewing that AND SO ON, but it's here now!!!
Thank you so very much to WingedWolfAlari for their incredibly generous commission :D She requested her character Alari and Loudeyes for the meme, and you know what drawing food is actually super therapeutic lol.

This video is the unboxing section of the review so you can see what comes with the tablet if and when you purchase it. The only this that ARE NOT included with the regular purchase of this tablet are the extra pen and the screen glove (which is a two fingered glove that goes over your little and ring finger to stop your skin from dragging on the screen and leaving oil behind). Everything else you see will be included!
The minute my USB to HDMI adaptor arrives I will be cracking on with the review of this tablet and I'm genuinely so excited to see how it works (as some of my friends who also have had this sponsorship have had nothing but good things to say about it as a device).
Stay tuned for my second part review where I will be working on some of Unknown Blood 7!
(Also the whole I thought was an audio jack is not in fact an audio jack... it's the friggin power socket ahahahah)

Very glad to have finally finished this as I as getting really restless about how long it has taken :s Cylithren is a wonderful person and so very patient for waiting for me for all this time, please consider going and having a gander at her channel, she is a very talented artist :D youtube.com/user/Eiratheguardian
And incidentally this is actually my last due commission! I only have 2 MAP parts due as well, so once they are done i can focus entirely on my own self indulgent projects aaaayyyyy :D This is going to of course include Unknown Blood, but also some warriors AMVs, some short memes for myself... and a certain traditional christmas MAP...
Characters (c) to Cylithren Animations (c) Me Background from google's creative commons.
I genuinely really threw EVERYTHING into this part because the other parts for this MAP so far have been so fabulous and I didn't wanna let the team down aaaaaaaa. I'm pretty please with the end result, I feel like I actually managed to capture some kind of atmosphere, and the palette was REALLy fun to work with because it was a really interesting mixture of greyscale and colours, and the end result looks p aight :'D Could have done better with some of the shots and whatnot but hey ho I didn't wanna be here til Christmas working on it lol.
Hope you like it Jay :D!!
Original MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=_NfGMwKl3Ng Background song is... Satisfied... by the rolling stones... sorry jay how could I not :'D?
Ok, so here me out. Riverclan is the most overlooked clan in the entire of the warriors franchise, SKYCLAN INCLUDED. Shadowclan and thunderclan are constantly having a dick waving contest, skyclan is trying to convince the world that it matters, and windclan is about 4/5 of the way through an existential crisis. AND THEN THERE'S RIVERCLAN. BEING COOL, WITH SOME OF THE BEST BACKSTORIES AND CHARACTERS and they just get... COMPLETELY overlooked lol.
WELL THIS MAP IS GON CHANGE THAT.
I've always wanted to use this song for something since I heard it first, and it's good enough to need a whole MAP for itself ^^ So with the help of the wonderful and incredibly talented xJaystarzx (thank you dude!) I think I've finally managed to come up with a really cool concept, and I really hope you all enjoy ^^
RULES: 1. This MAP has both a SCRIPT and SET CHARACTER DESIGNS. Please use them :D If there is a character who does not have a designs, just use the warriors wiki and make up what you'd like, but please stick to the designs that are there for the main characters. 2. This MAP also has a colour palette. However, this is not a strictly enforced palette, it's more of a guide on how to set the tone of the colours and so on, so character designs do not need to be altered to fit it. The palette can be found in the link above. 3. I will be asking for animators who have a degree of experience to be in this MAP. Doesn't mean you need lots of subscribers, just means you need to have animation experience :) Don't be offended if I don't pick you either, some parts get very competitive! 4. One part per person, but you can ask for more than one to maximise your chances of getting in. 5. These parts should be animation HEAVY, and should have backgrounds that look painted and scenic rather than cartoony. 6. People who get parts with transition instructions should try and talk to the people with parts next to them, so you can maybe co-ordinate a clean transition ^^ It's optional, but it would be great if you could! 7. Tell me your favourite riverlcan cat if you read the rules 8. Please no guilt tripping, arguing or generally complaining over who gets the final parts. My decision is final, and people who moan will be banned from future MAPs, it's not fair on me OR the people who got the parts. 9. Extensions WILL NOT be given out. If you miss the deadline, you miss it, end of story. If you tell me at least 48 hours before the final deadline that you might need MAXIMUM a week more, then of course you can, BUT these will be handed out ONCE, and that's it. I know this is super harsh but I want this MAP FINISHED.
Ok, so this was a really cool thing to work on, because it's not often you get to do a scene from someone else's series with the audio already made up, and I actually really really enjoyed it :D Gives me hope for when I work on Unknown Blood 7 ;)
I really hope you like it lemon, and if you'd like anything changing, please let me know ^^!
This was genuinely a really fun meme to make, but dayum son those markings proved challenging (also antlers?? SHIT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS WOW). I'm pretty pleased with the outcome, and I really hope the cimmissioner is too!
BUT YEAH this was a commission for the ever awesome BlazetheFireDragon with her character Osyrion (Ozzy) from her series The Fire and the Phoenix (which you really really should check out because it's so good ^^ Link to the first episode is here: youtube.com/watch?v=KUXtqKRI7xM) THANK YOU FOR THE COMMISSION BLAZE :D
I had a lot of fun animating dragons for this which I've never actually done before so there's that, PLUS animating fire from scratch which was a whole truck load of learning curves and basically drawing lines going 'I have no idea what I'm doing' but it made a thing SO THIS IS SUCCESS YA
Meme commissions are tentatively open (i.e I will take one at a time). Please contact me on twitter if you are interested :)
This was pretty good fun, I've never heard of this meme before getting the com so it was fun to go into something completely unfamiliar (same with the characters ^^)
I am willing to take on more meme commissions if anyone is interested, BUT I will only take on one at a time and when I feel like it/have sufficient time. Best bet to find out when I open a commission slot is to follow me on twitter :) 9Sorry i can't be more organised than that, but my work load varies MASSIVELY this coming year, some weeks I'll have the whole week's worth of evenings free, and others I will barely have any time to sleep :s)
Programs used: Paint tool sai Sony Vegas Pro 12 TVPaint
I love this song, it's so rad, and I love the meme... BUUUTTTT it's pretty sexual so I wanted to make a really cute version of it instead :) and who cuter than our favourite gays Talltail/star and jake ;P?
... Plus I also lost a twitter bet and I am a woman of my word so there you go lol
Also I always headcanoned Tallstar as an oriental shaped cat, and Jake as a Somali hence his colouring (would also explain Firestar's colours ;P)
I genuinely cannot believe how wonderfully this has turned out, and considering it was completed within a single week is utterly miraculous, and I cannot thank all who took part enough ^^
FUN FACT! This is the first MAP I've ever hosted where NONE of the original participants dropped out... what a triumph :D!!!
Poor lil' baby BadgerFang, the warrior who shouldn't have died, and his heartbroken mentor Flintfang. I like to imagine he was happy when Flintfang finally joined StarClan (even though the time of FF's death is very murky, it's sometime after Rising Storm and before Night Whispers... so a pretty long time gap haha, I had to just guess).
The wonderful participants of this MAP: 1. Lobotomutt 2. Geist Stern 3. Nalin 4. ThatScruffyDuckling 5. CocoaGemini 413 6. Rookon 7. Mitziepie18 and JeanCrafter l 8. Zotorious 9. JinxBC 10. Sparrow's World 11. fluffylovey 12. Arodote 13. Flowerse 14. Mien-Cat 15. Quill Work 16. FelineSeraphim 17. Chai Tea 18. Makaruu/PkspSaphire
Now will you all believe me when I say that the series is not cancelled haha???? I don't know why but nearly every week I get at least 1 person asking where the next episode is or if it's been cancelled and the answer is: It's never cancelled, but I have a very VERY busy university course and I can't work on it very fast ^^' Rest assure episode 7 is well into production, all the audio is done and about 1/3 of the sketch/storyboard is done. I can tell you now that it will NOT be finished this side of new year (sorry!) as I have exams at the start of December and I need to focus on studying for them, but I hope this new opening can whet all of your appetites for the series once again after it's ehem... hibernation lol.
I've had a little bit of a style rejig since the last episode, mostly to just make the wolves look a bit more 'Wolf' rather than 'Wolf with cat anatomy' hahaha. I'm still working to improve so if you see changes in the style (minor ofc), please don't be alarmed!
Also a MASSIVE thank you to the background artists who are now helping me to make Unknown Blood 100% drawn (that's right, no more phtographs!), and hose featured in here are: Chiibe, Io Kusanagi and Sprouteh (as well as a few feeble ones by me lol), Thank you so much guys!!
The song is an edit of Chain from the Air Gear OST :)
Characters in order (because I'm not spending forever answering comments asking haha): - Random Dwellers - The Dark One - Bracken - Redcurrant and Sunset - Midnight - Duskflame - Marigold - Fern and Silver - Storm - Daisy and Blackberry - Daisy and Slash - Slash - Slash and his Ghost - Hawk Emblem - Talon and Bone - Ivy - Slash - Bracken, Storm and Daisy - Thunder - Fizz - Shadow - Fizz
But yeah this was a lot of fun to animate in the end, even though I nearly pooed in my pants when I saw I had not only a noivern to animate but THE BAKAMIEL'S NOIVERN *panic mode activted* I really hope I did your characters justice amalie :D!!
And Holly has taught me (Did I say taught? I meant told off in he wonderfully mumsie way ;)) about shading using something other than grey and black and WOW OK IT REALLY WORKS SHIT :o
Also it's worth me saying now that I have gone back to University after my summer work experience, and I have my horrific exams in early december so I will be preeeetttyyy much absent online and doing little to no animation as I absolutely need to study :S sorry guys, but it's th last big set of exams I have to do until May of 2018!
Sorry for the rather extensive and accidental hiatus guys, I've had a very VERY busy summer with veterinary work expereince and I haven't really had a lot of free time to do much ^^'' I will be working on some more serious stuff (like Unknown Blood of course!) but I really wanted to add to this rad meme craze we're all in haha, and seeing as I haven't made one in... ever actually, I thought it'd just make a simple(ish) one to one of my favourite songs at the moment :D
If anyone would like to make one then GO RIGHT AHEAD YALL :D I'd love to see how you make it ^^ (If no one makes one I'll just go ahead and call this a loop animation practice lol)
Song is Sugar by Robin schultz and obviously I don't own it ;P
Character are Loudeyes (me) an the BABE HERSELF Chiibe :D (her channel ==== youtube.com/channel/UCr7AiaFMovmWaQN-QOIsAFg) Go check her out she is MAD talented and a wonderful person :)
Never give up if you're a beginner, time and practice will glo you the friggle up ^^
ANYWAYS I decided to redo a segment of my old bluestar's death video that I made back in earlyish 2008 when I'd only been animating for around 2-3 months tops? Maybe not even that. I didn't have a clue what I was doing, used a crappy computer mouse and MS paint. We all start somewhere ;P Some people argue that 'programs' and 'equipment' are the only things that can help you improve. This is only about 20-30% true. They can help, sure. But you can give a complete beginner a cintique, adobe flash/tvpaint and all the time in the world, and they will still only make something similar to my first animation. The key to improvement is time, and those who quit saying the have 'no talent'... you do. If you have the drie to keep working on what you do and to keep improving yourself, that is where your talent lies :) No body plops out the womb knowing how to do anything, we all start on a level playing field.
But yeah, this one was really nice and calm to make, I love doing lipsyncing so when I was asked to be a backup for the MAP I was really really pleased :D
I'm sorry these videos always end up like trash but I'm usually v tired when I end up compiling them so they turn into just a big MESS really and I'm sorry :C
Song is Deep in the Meadow by Jennifer Lawrence. The interval song is John Stump the Death Waltz... no really that's what it's called.
I FREEEEEEE I ONLY HAVE 1 MORE MAP PART LEFT AND I WILL BE FFFFRREEEEEEEE *chokes to death on own excitement*
But yeah this was actually super challenging to do but also a lot of fun, and I like to think I've learnt a fair bit from it ^^
Also, do you guys like this style for showing MAPs?? (We all know why it's longer and it rhymes with Honey) If you really dont like it then please say :)
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you after over a year of work, THE COMPLETE STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU MAP :D!!! And holy actual mother of jesus does it look fantastic :’D
I’m legitimately so proud of how this has turned out, and I like to think it was 100% worth the wait as well because people were able to produce some absolutely incredible parts! All I have left to say is the biggest of all possible thank yous to all who took part, and a big thank you to HulluRichie who without this project wouldn’t have been birthed ;)
Please consider visiting all these wonderful artist’s youtube channels, they are all obscenely talented and nearly all have fewer subscribers than me (which quite frankly is not on we need to fix this). The links to their channels can be found below :)
The song is called ‘Still in Love with You by Electro Velvet, and they are a small time indie duo so please consider buying the song from ITunes rather than ripping it off youtube :) The link is here: itunes.apple.com/us/album/still-in-love-with-you-single/id975433989
Anyway thank you all SO much for watching, and thank you (well most of you haha) for being so patient while the final parts were coming in :’) LOVE YOU GUYS!
... Ok I am kinda mortified at how long this took me considering I did the bulk of it in probably only a week or so I AM REALLY SORRY MAN PLEASE FORGIVE.
But yeah, lip sync is honestly so much fun, the only annoying bit honestly is colouring lol (what are those stripes blaze man I'm dying and I made a horrific mess of it I am SORRY)
But check me being productive, this sh*t always happens after exams, I go on an absolute art binge for like a week then go back to my usual trickle of material lol.
Also I only have 3 MAP parts left in this entire world and I am so excited at the idea of being free to do my own stuff :'D
But having said that watch out for a meme (I can already here you groaning as I add to the over saturated animation sess pit lol)
I don't know why I punish myself with slow motion, I mean, it's cool n all BUT MY HAND HAS ACTUALLY SWOLLEN UP AFTER FINISHING THIS I NEED THE FROZEN PEAS ASAP.
Anyway what's going on in this is Antpelt managing to die twice in under 10 seconds. GOOD GOING LOSER. But yeah I found this part REALLy challenging to MAP out (oh my god I just made a bloody map pun) because I had to clearly fit in two death scenes in a very very short time, so I struggled with how I was going to show him dying, appearing as obviously in the dark forest as a Dark Forest member and THEN dying again so it does look very busy but I like to think I managed to portray it well enough ^^
I've probably spent too long looking at this thing, but idk... it's got so many flaws :'( I'm sorry this isn't as good as it could have been jess, THE OTHER PARTS ALL LOOK SO GREAT SO FAR :DDD I am also incredibly aware that I was responsible for one of the parts involved in killing the most beloved warriors characters in history... NO PRESSURE OR NUFFIN
4 parts left til MAP freedom forever... I AM SO CLOSE I CAN TASTE IT
SO GLAD THAT THIS BAD BOY IS DONE!!!!! I feel a bit, idk, disappointed that this doesn't look as good as it could, but then again I think it's a problem of I have had it as a WIP for so long that my expectations were raised far too high ;P I did really enjoy this part though, TIGERSTAR IS A GIANT GOOFBALL IN THIS PART and I do like doing lipsync so YEAH I hope this is ok Jay :D!
Song = Madness of King Scar from the Lion King musical
The story behind this is pretty self explanatory; When I went home for Christmas this year it was the happiest I have been for so long, especially after such a hard few months on London due to a lot of personal issues involving where I lived and so on WHICH HAS NOW BEEN SORTED SO IT'S ALL GOOD NOW :DDD But in all seriousness, my parents mean the word to me (and my sister of course!) but it's seeing them that always makes my Christmas; Us all together for once being happy and content :')
I really don't do my parents justice with these drawings haha sorry mum, sorry dad ;P
