Kura
HIDE - Nightcloud collab ft. Naroline [26]
updated
I used to be so hard on myself when I still made map parts actively, but looking back I realise I should be proud of myself and of all of the pieces, no matter what my inner critic says. I want to think this meme as a tribute and celebration for all of the pieces I've ever animated and that I've stuck with animation for almost two decades!
Starring, two of my fursonas. Had a blast doing the stop motion flower, I crafted and animated it from the scratch for solely this map part. Worth the trouble, I would say!
Happy 24th birthday to me as well yay
The character is my oc Weaselguard from Finnish Warriors rp Nelituuli I used to go to. I never got to finish the plans I had for her, but in short she is an outgoing and energetic medicine cat. She had this connection to poltergeists, but started to believe in Starclan and abandoned her old beliefs. But then the nightmares begun and her mental state started to collapse, but she kept hiding it from the clan because of her sense of duty as a medicine cat. I had planned it would not end well for her, but good for her that I never got so far in the rp :D
(This is the same story as in this map part we did together with Iro: youtube.com/watch?v=IX6KivCAzsQ)
I've been busy with school and stuff, but I'm working on lots of things, the most important one being my animation minor program's short animation. I'm more active on my twitter (@Kkurakur), so feel free to follow me there if you're interested in seeing what I'm up to.
Nonlinear narrative warms my heart more than deep frying it in boiling oil.
I'm still not pleased with some parts, but overall I'm glad it doesn't look, at least, absolutely disgusting. Also fun game: guess which animations I made with computer mouse.
Iro chose the song and everything else was up to me. I decided to go with Vervain and his despair as he gets swallowed by the deep ghost river of his mind.
All the characters shown - Vervain, Portimo (with like one second screen time) and Tormentil, are from Iro's upcoming series Kaarnen Herra. Iro has made an opening for it and I really hope you all have already seen it. If not, it can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=TjjgKaI_4pE
Song:
Nightwish - Ghost River
A month ago I was so ready to drop out because I had 0 motivation and I still don't have my editing software nor photoshop in the computer at my apartment. Iro offered their help and oh boy, it was truly a relief as I hate to give up. Then we together managed to get it done before the duedate, all thanks to Iro!
I also wanted to try something different so I decided to do lineless. It was really nice actually, even though Iro probably wanted to kick my knee while drawing all those inbetweens, but I wouldn't mind trying it again myself.

This'll be my last map part for now. I might join some maps some day but I really want to concentrate on my own projects now - I'm pretty much fed up with maps. I'm also pretty much stopping doing Warriors related stuff, so consider this one of my last Warriors animations.
Remember the time I told I should stop rushing my map parts?
- Yeah me neither while doing this
