A bit late only because I decided to draw out all of Blue’s scales :’)
Time Taken- 12 hours Programs used- Procreate (drawing), Cute Cute Pro (editing), Perfect Video (transitions)Overwhelmed // OC Animation MemeVerasaii2021-12-20 | This is mostly just an editing test but there is some plot involved. These characters actually aren’t from Kingdoms and they definitely aren’t from Wings of Fire! They’re from a story concept I had a while ago and It’s kinda hard to explain what’s going on since this is pretty late into the timeline.
Basically, the world the dragons were originally living on was being completely destroyed, so using magic, a group of the last living dragons leap to a new world to make a new home. This video takes place after they’re already settled in a place and are infighting. Most of the problems come down to the decisions of the de facto leader (the blue dragon, I don’t have a name for him yet) so Vera decides to challenge his leadership.
But like I said this is basically just for practice, I’m currently in the process of redesigning Vera, she’s my main sona and the green dragon in this video. You can see what her old design looks like here- deviantart.com/verasaii/art/Veras-Reference-2019-801223534 I’ll make a new reference for her at some point in the future ^^
~ I was going to post this to my second channel, but do I like it a lot and it’s been a bit too long without an upload here. The main reason I was working on this was because the audio was just a short song clip from Twitter and not a full song, so it was short and not a lot of people knew about it. But since the full song came out I just have no motivation for it. Plus I’ve seen other people make their own versions of the same idea so it seems pointless to be making the same thing
Also, if you’re curious I have seen Dream SMP since it basically started. Although, I don’t really like it much anymore. It’s like watching a D&D campaign except there’s no DM and the players don’t care about anyone else, just making their own character the coolest ‘main’ character. It’s just a narrative mess tbh

I just really like them and its easy to just put on an album :) probably the Phantoms and Ever After albums

I'm drawing on Procreate and Live with StreamLabs OBSTrypophobia REMAKE // KINGDOMSVerasaii2021-08-02 | -WARNING - FLASHING COLORS- This video is basically just doing what I was too afraid to do in 2017, no loop, 60 drawings. The designs here are much more accurate to what they’ll actually look like in comic too!
~~~ Here’s a list of all of the dragons names I can tell you, some of the ones that have ‘???‘ are secrets and some just don’t have names yet (The only dragon’s with titles are the big leaders here, I didn’t really feel like typing out prince/princess a bunch of times.)
Arie Bramble Sienna Aria Delta Aquilina King Sigma Queen Hera Asteria Adder Viper Python Hawke Robiin Rhea Novo Commander Rhianne Commander Mayalithe Commander Laharin Old Previous Commander ??? Pathe ??? ??? Moira Orisa Auburn Savannah Mesa Vista Umber
Arie Bramble Sienna Pepper Orca Garnet ??? ??? Faithe ??? Inrigo Vipera (name to be changed) ??? Macaw Fyndall ??? ??? ??? Old lady Vitae (No name yet) Previous Queen Aurora Queen Inferno Elder Ash Elder Ember Elder Scorch Cherry (I accidentally put Twig, it’s actually Cherry whoops :’) Novo Rhea ??? ???
If you read this far into the description I’ll let you know that one of the secrets in this video is that whichever way a dragon is facing is their allegiance in the war. There are 2 other little things to notice in here but you’ll have to find them yourselves :DThis Is Wings of Fire MAP part 63 // HawthornVerasaii2021-06-09 | I don’t make any money off of my videos so consider supporting me on Patreon! Patreon supporters get early access to videos and behind the scenes content! patreon.com/Verasaii ~~~ Hawthorn is a very interesting villain I’ll definitely get around to making a PMV for him at some point. I also got a new editing program to use, still figuring it out but it definitely helped this map part look 200% better :D

It’s in the same style that I draw the comic itself in, which normally takes a long time but this vid is nice and short! I wanted something small to work on that I could finish quick and while this didn’t take me a super long time like most of my stuff, it did really drain my inspiration :’)
I do have plans for more PMVs in this same art style but I have no upload schedule so who know how long that will be (certainly not me!)

It’s one of my Flight Rising dragons! (Flight Rising is a browser game where you take care and dress up dragons, if you’re curious go look it up)
I really wanted to take a break from all the PMVs I was working on and make a Speedpaint, as like a filler video? But then I ended up spending 12 HOURS drawing this. So much for an easy filler video lol
This is the new longest video on my channel... I have finally surpassed the ten minute mark!

Didn’t mean for such a long gap between uploads but it just kinda happened. Hopefully I can find the inspiration to finish some map parts now that this is completed~
Also something that I’ve always wanted to get off my chest- Just because Icewings are white doesn’t mean they have to be all white. They can be blue, purple, whatever and still easily be recognized as pure Icewings. It really helps to differentiate dragons and makes more striking designs. I want to yeet all of those gross wiki designs with the awful grays straight into the Nightwing’s volcano lol.
~ Song- Loved by Fein Time Taken- 35-40 hours maybe? Idk Programs used- Procreate (drawing), Cute Cut Pro (editing)Showtime // Kingdoms AnimaticVerasaii2020-05-28 | This is just going to be one of those videos that won’t make sense in the plot for a long time but I really wanted to make it, both for fun and for practice. As for the characters you may recognize the white dragon as Rhea but the other character is unfamiliar. That’s because I hadn’t 100% decided on his design till I made this video! His name is Novo and he’ll be the last main character to show up in the comic so it’ll be awhile. I’ll probably make some small changes to his design but not much. As for the other characters that show up you’ll just have to guess what’s going on for yourself. The blue one is definitely gonna be completely redone, 1 because it’s ugly and 2 to hide his identity since he obviously dies here... Anyways the next big Kingdoms video will be the continuation of my Coma Baby PMV so look forward to that :D
This is the most effort I’ve ever put into animating a map part and it definitely shows. I haven’t worked on drawing anything else for the past two weeks, it has literally been just this.
I’m definitely gonna take a break from doing any crazy animation like this for a bit, I need to recharge with Speedpaints and PMVs lol (I need to catch up to my schedule too since I haven’t been uploading as much as usual)
Number of unique frames - 64 (I’m dead) Time Taken - ~30-40 hoursBirds // Wings of Fire MAP part 4Verasaii2020-03-12 | Probably not a good idea to hide stuff in the desert, especially not your only child/egg...

I had a hard time finding good references for some of these but I tried to use at least 3 drawings for reference so I wasn’t just copying 1 drawing. You could tell when I switched references sometimes I’d just completely erase or redo sections.
I wanted to keep the people I chose as WoF youtubers but I also really wanted to try Bio’s art style and then I thought it would be a good idea to try the official wings of fire art so that’s what I did... it gave me more variety though so I’m not complaining
Time Taken- 10 hours Drawn with Procreate Song- Eyes Half Closed by Crywolf If you were wondering the Rainwing is my oc named Pyrennia deviantart.com/verasaii/art/Pyrennia-Reference-2019-786708384Coma Baby // KINGDOMS PMVVerasaii2020-02-15 | ~ ~ So what’s going on in this PMV? The Queen of the Aeriis Kingdom finds an all white hatchling half buried in the snow and barely alive. She take the hatchling back to the mountains and on the way she has a dream/vision. The hatchling recalls what happened; Vitae dragons attacked her village and killed everyone. They chased her to a cliff and she fell off, they assumed she was dead from a fall that high but the snow cushioned the fall. They make it back to the Kingdom and a Vitae healer comes to she if she’s injured and the hatchling freaks out. The Queen adopts her and learns the hatchlings name is Hera. I’m not going to explain the dream because it’s a secret ;)
I am working on more Kingdoms PMVs and Animatics but it’s really hard to decide what I can show you guys and what is and isn’t too many spoilers- I might make a sequel animatic that takes place right after this one but we’ll see...
Also the style changes halfway through because the first half was drawn back in March 2018 almost exactly 2 years ago and the rest was finished up recently. There was such a big gap in time because I had actually canceled it, but I changed my mind and completed it.

Alright so I pretty much speedran making this PMV in two weeks, and only 8 days if I took out the days I didn’t work on it. The only parts that I had done before those two weeks was what was shown in the preview video. I’m glad it’s done though, definitely my favorite PMV that I’ve made so far!
Also I really enjoy drawing the Pantalan dragons, their designs are much nicer to draw, especially in this style. This was literally the first time I’ve ever drawn a LeafWing before lol

#1 The Path to Isolation - Winter A PMV focused on Winter and his search for his brother, Hailstorm. This one is the only PMV in this video that is going to be the entire song; a whole 4 minutes long. Really hope I finish this one.
#2 Set Fire to the Rain - Peril AU About Peril’s relationship to Queen Scarlet after her conversation with Clay. The AU part isn’t showed here so I’m not gonna explain this one much.
#3 Blue Lips - Blue Pretty much everything that happens in the Lost Continent book. Started this one back when the Lost Continent first came out. Unsure if I’ll finish this one but it fits perfectly.
#4 Loved - Arctic About Prince Arctic’s relationship to his son, Darkstalker. Started working on this one recently but I’ve had the animatic for it sitting around for over a year.
#5 High Hopes - Sunny All about everything Sunny. Been on and off working on this one since July 2018. Cancelled multiple times but I keep on working on it because it’s sooooo close to being done now.
Like I mentioned in the video I have way more PMVs in the works, including my various OCs, generally in the scripting and animatics/sketches phases.

Time Taken - 10 hours Programs used - Procreate (drawing), Stop Motion Studio, Cute Cut Pro (editing), Perfect Video (transitions)Darkstalker WoF PMV // Bury A FriendVerasaii2019-09-24 | ~Headphones recommended~ ~ ~ Something a bit more experimental than what I usually do, but I think it’s nice to try out different things. You can definitely tell this started as simple drawings and got more complex and detailed as I went along. (Even more obvious when you compare the soulreader at the beginning and at the end.) I pretty much wanted the style to be entirely black and white except for the characters eyes, which was fine in the beginning but as I drew more characters, they became more detailed to tell who’s who. Which of course made this video take longer than expected to make but it was worth it I think?
Anyway... I’ve definitely been putting off making a Darkstalker PMV since there’s already so many Darkstalker maps and videos out there; plus I have plans to make at least one or two more... it’s really hard to not make PMVs for this guy, literally every other song I like fits him so well. The next couple of PMVs I’m working on are characters that don’t get as much praise so y’all can look forward to that
I swear I don’t plan to post all my PMVs in the fall it just kinda happens

I'm not sure how long this video has been down for exactly but I know it has been a while.)
I don’t really like posting videos on kingdoms while the comic itself is on hiatus but I do love my dragon children and I may have recently started working on drawing more pages ~

~~~ Alright so this is never going to be finished. I started this animatic way back in May 2018 and then didn’t touch it for months. I sketched out the rest of it in January and that’s pretty much all I’ve done on it. I literally have no inspiration to work on this at all so I’ve decided to just post it unfinished.
I just have other PMVs and animatics that I’d much rather work on than this

I’ve drawn her and posted her design to deviantart before but this is the first time on YouTube. I’m planning on changing my profile picture and channel banner soon so look out for that.
Next upload is probably also going to be animation meme, featuring characters from my comic Kingdoms. After that expect some more MAP parts, maybe some Speedpaints and I have a couple of PMVs and animatics near completion! (Hopefully I’ll have at least two of them done by winter time!)
I had a lot of fun editing these two parts, but I think I went a bit overboard maybe? I tried to make part 2 match Rythre e’s part to make it flow better
Part 2 only took me 4 hours while part 15 was over twice that long

Wow I procrastinated on every single part of this thing, I even procrastinated editing and writing this description... I started this project a full year ago and a lot of the art at the beginning was drawn last September. I gave up at around the 30 second mark and didn’t work on it until Spring and I’ve been working on it on and off since then. I’m not really proud of the final product, there’s a lot I could improve on but I’ve got other projects that I’m more excited to finish than to redo this
The “I’m a fraud I’m an imposter” parts might be a bit confusing so here’s what’s happening in those frames - Chameleon is spying on the talons of peace as Cirrus and is talking to Scarlet, the last one is him as Shapeshifter hitting Kinkajou

So I finally figured out how to get my editing program (cute cut pro) working and I should hopefully be able to use it for my future map parts~
Map- youtube.com/watch?v=73CsRuMyqNsBeliever WoF PMV MAP part 17Verasaii2018-07-14 | Experimented with styles on this one, overall pretty pleases with how it turned out (probably won’t do it for map parts in the future though)
When you first do your part with the green statue because it wasn’t included in the references (or at least I didn’t see it) and that’s how it’s described in the book but then the parts before and after you both have a grey statue and you have to recolor the frames :/ oh well at least it’s correct now

I started this way back in June, working on it in between my other projects. I wanted to try drawing as many of the characters as I could, even the ones that didn’t have a design yet. There are more characters that I could’ve added but that might’ve killed me so yeah. There’s a grand total of 25 separate characters in this and 30 drawings (not including the intro and the last one). The designs in this aren’t final though, since It’s pretty likely that I’m going to change them.
I would list out the names of the characters buuuuut a lot of them don’t have final names yet :/
I'm already at 2k subs and I'm trying to put together a video to celebrate it, but the number just gets bigger and bigger... I'm probably gonna do a wips video since I've got a lot of things I'm working on right now. :)
