im most proud of my backgrounds for this part, and i think my shading was also pretty good for it !!! This part was overdue or i would have spent this time to work on GUALL, but i should still be able to finish GUALL today !!! i accidentally messed up the timing of the question mark but it should be fine sdhjkdfshjfsdhj

song info and everything is in the video!Fursona Pins Unboxing Vlog! (And Collection Tour!)Marley MothBard2020-12-04 | Fursona Pins sent me a Character Package recently to show in an unboxing video, so here’s an unboxing vlog! Plus a tour of my entire Fursona Pins collection (except my FP squishy and my Ice Dragon mask, which is in the wash).
Fursona Pins has a Kickstarter, Canines vs. Felines themed, coming out soon! I’m definitely rooting for the foxes, but man there are some really good dogs, wolves, and cats! I sort of legally have to get a cougar for college pride... Here’s a link to the Launch Page: backerkit.com/call_to_action/82a69159-f419-4ea6-b12a-e582a6a7b4d5/landing !
I mentioned the FP Telegram chat in the video too; here’s a link to that!: https://t.me/FursonaPins
Make sure to answer the bot spam question! Everybody there is really nice and understanding, and I’ve seen the community really pull together. There’s also a FP Discord, which you can join at this link, but as a note most of the channels are patron restricted due to past raids, which staff have always handled really well!: discord.gg/asV5SSkNXN
Here's an invite link to The Coffee House, which I mention in the video!: discord.gg/pB3Fzv8
Aaaand last but not least, here’s a link to the Pride Pins Shop! I really suggest their seconds, but all of their pins are very well done, and they take a lot of care to make sure they have quality products!: fursonapins.com/pridepins
The FP Pride Pin recolor I mention in the video that I was organizing preorders for may be a reality in the future, if enough interest is shown & FP offers the Flag recolors again- so, if you’re interested in a Butch Lesbian Deer recolor and want to see what it would look like, say so in the comments!
(Also, a correction! In the video I say that it was the same character- the character pin pack I received was Sandstorm, not Cyclone! thats my mistake!)Chronological Campaign Intro StoryboardMarley MothBard2020-08-29 | Song; Museum (rough demo) by Kitsch Club youtu.be/QzISjbA9XYQ

So, basically, Pumpkin has been given a rough lot in life. her clan, marshclan, is going through a drought, and the leader doesn’t know when it will end, so he divides up the clan. half the clan can drink rationed water, the other half cannot. (Of course, the leader, med cat, and deputy are all in the ‘can drink water’ half). She’s in the half that cannot. She watches as her loved ones die of dehydration, and decides ‘hey, this is really unfair and immoral’ and decides to murder the cats that were divided into the can drink water side who stood aside and did nothing, ending in her murdering the clan leader. She is the only Marshclanner left (asides from some kits and apprentices, but they ran off when they saw what she was doing), and at that moment, it starts to rain. The leader didn’t need to divide the clan up at all; there had still been enough water left for everybody to live on.
It’s a story passed around in the world of Silverwing’s Tale, about the importance of caring for other cats and not drawing lines or talking about ‘acceptable losses’. There are no acceptable losses of life; each life is worth something, worth the same amount as another life, and it’s important to remember that. This story is what is passed around the clans and told to kits to make sure they understand that, and understand that not a single cat had to die in this story; it was the leader’s greed and fear, and the refusal of any of the cats in the water side to help, that led to MarshClan’s end.Cup of Wonder wc oc map Part 15 storyboardMarley MothBard2020-03-28 | map link: youtu.be/b-hUYXdzicw

basically, cerberus (blacklight’s kittypet name) is tired of being a kittypet. they’re approached by houndleap, who offers them a deal to get them out of the house. what blacklight doesn’t realize is that the deal involves allowing houndleap to possess them and go off doing things for the dark forest in the living world. darkstripe, infuriated that houndleap (who in this story is a former kittypet) was able to get the approval of tigerstar, mapleshade, and brokenstar so easily, decides to foil it by telling blacklight about where exactly they are. blacklight is, understandably, Super Scared By Realizing They’re In Cat Hell.
it was going to end by them confronting houndleap, ending up back in their own body somewhere they don’t recognize, and being lead by their dead sibling to catclan because- surprise surprise, they can see ghosts now! who knows if there’s any other lingering effects from making a deal with a ‘demon’? :3c

Edit; so! considering everything thats happened w/ nate and that whole situation, im posting this now with the disclaimer that i dont support what they did. however this is one of my best backgrounds s o. cameo cats are from my friends at catclan! here they are: Nauro, Tad (owlipoppen), Ella (TheDoodleFox), Ghobsmacka, Cheebzmacka (its a coowned oc iirc?) and. well nyall probably recognize nate’s wcsona like, front and to the right. i also have spindlyivy from silverwing’s tale cameoing somewhere there- i believe thats all (besides sparkstar) but if i missed someone bop me on the head with it

This covers a popular folk tale in the Goldfish Memory world, Noicatol- that of a demigoddess who, in her anger towards one of her mothers for giving magic to the entire world and not giving her any extra magic, decides to steal magic for herself. Upon finding out about her plot, the gods hold trial for her, deciding to lock her away until all her magic has been drained from her using the same trap she set for the gods.LeekMarley MothBard2019-05-31 | full version coming soon MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=PzFjeOI_s30

the podcast i’m doing is Carpe DM!!!!!! one of my favorite podcasts, i’ve got to give it a re-listen tbh but moth people.... mysterious plague.... dungeons and dragons.... found family trope.... LOVE it. love it? love it
probably. doesnt hurt that one of the npcs is named after me shfljsfhjldsflgj- i wish i couldve fit some more characters in here but i figured that some of my favorites/the ones i remembered the most about would be good! my interpretation of the chimeras is not exactly canon (theyre said to be a tiger/dragon/goat mix) but Im Draw Them with my own spin on them bc..,,,....... why not (also it makes differentiating them in that one scene easier)
Carpe DM was discontinued, but if you want to listen to the episodes that were put up before it was, check out carpedmpodcast.tumblr and carpedmpodcast.com !
also, the scene where the moth guy is shooting at khybex is slightly inspired by Nate @draikinator’s animation of that scene here (youtu.be/GCVxp26k2a4) that id def. recommend taking a look at! and also listening to Carpe DM as a whole because I Think Its NeatGUALL Part 14Marley MothBard2019-04-17 | MAP Call: youtube.com/watch?v=8CiBR-Fi9CI had a lot of fun with the atmosphere & background & shading of this one !!!!!! rushtooth's design is EXCELLENT i added a little bit of time before the beginning and end of the part so it would be easier in editing !Give Us A Little Love Part 14 StoryboardMarley MothBard2019-04-11 | MAP Call: youtu.be/8CiBR-Fi9CI

thank nyall for your patience for this part; i did not expect for it to take as long as it did, and real life kinda Jumped at me last weekend i think it looks pretty good though! i tried a new thing with the coloring, i tried two seperate lipsyncs and also a turnaround- each of which i havent tried to do before, so i think they turned out good! i think maybe with ashfur's lipsync i shouldve spread 'grave' out more or used fewer frames for it because it seems a bit jarring, and there are two scenes where i didnt do the darker shading because it would have made it look. Not Great with how i was animating itStainedglass AMV Storyboard “Don’t Rain On My Parade”Marley MothBard2019-03-22 | Warning for Warrior cats canon-typical violence!

so my wcsona blacklight in catclan was possessed by houndleap bc he made a deal with the guy and then blacklight was able to become Unpossessed- mostly. the lingering effects allows them to see ghosts, spirits, etc.! and also houndleap keeps bothering him

These OCs are the sixth and seventh deities of Goldfish Memory! one is the caretaker of the tree of souls and the other guides the dead there. theyre both very good and in love

(except those little white lines between the different parts; those havent been on my other parts, and im thinking it might be because there isnt lineart separating it possibly? but i dont know how to fix that currently, so.TNTLWOIT Part 18Marley MothBard2019-03-15 | MAP Call: youtube.com/watch?v=Nw6ls_TY-38

The OC here is the third deity from Goldfish Memory RPG! she stole magic for all the cats from the tree of souls which was regarded by the second deity as a bit of a Bad Move. because of that, she and the fourth and fifth deities were cursed to be either corporeal and able to use their powers or intangible and unable to; while theyre intangible, they store up power that they’re only able to use when theyre corporeal. theyre fun! she actually has way more markings but for time’s sake and since this is a storyboard, i simplified it a lot lolShot For The Sky Whitestorm MAP Part 2 StoryboardMarley MothBard2019-03-13 | MAP call: youtu.be/NldA_whbNgU
