Broken Crown//Blackstar PMV (Warriors)

- FINALLY this is done. It was actually meant to be finished three weeks ago, but schoool got in the way and SAI really didn't like me.
This is my second and probably last Warriors PMV for now, I'm kinda getting sick of drawing cats (which doesn't mean that I'll stop posting Warriors stuff, I'll just focus more on non-cat things). But I'm planning on opening commissions in the future, let me know if you're interested!
Anyways, I always wanted to make a PMV about Blackstar, I couldn't really find one and he's such an overlooked character in general. Sadly we don't know a lot about him so a lot of stuff in this video are my own interpretations of his story!
I believe that Blackstar never really was evil, he just did what he believed to be right: to follow the leader StarClan chose for ShadowClan. But after Tigerstar's death he realised that it was a horrible idea to just blindly follow someone, and he also started to question why StarClan would choose two leaders who were close to ruining his clan. He promised that he would do everything better and desperately tried to build up ShadowClans reputation again (which is why he was so distant), and just when he thought he made it his home got destroyed. Obviously he was enraged about this, but he also didn't like the plan of changing territories at all, and even when they reached the lake he never stopped questioning if it was the right choice. Then Sol came, and while Blackstar distrusted him at first the Eclipse convinced him that this cat knew more than StarClan itself, and he lost his faith. In his stubborness he didn't want to believe that he made a bad decision, but the sign of StarClan let him realise what he did and he reclaimed his place of a leader, but never fully recovered from his mistake.
Another headcanon I like is that Stonefur gave Blackstar the life of forgiveness, but sadly it didn't fit into the video.
Characters are form the book series ''Warriors'' by Erin Hunter.
The song is Broken Crown by Mumford and Sons.
I do not own the song or the characters, only the art is mine.
Special thanks to my friend Stem Ginger, who let me use her beautiful Firestar design!

*Please read this comment and the description before you ask questions!*
This is the place where you can ask questions because CZcams sometimes doesn't notify me when I get a comment!
If there are some things I get asked a lot I'll add them to this comment so it's kind of an Q&A! Some general things up front though:
Q: What did you use to make this?
A: Paint Tool Sai and Sony Vegas.
Q: How long did it take to finish?
A: Around 2 months, not counting the breaks inbetween (which you can see rip). I didn't want to spend as much time as on the last one so I tried to use some short cuts, unfortunately it got kinda messy, lol.
Q: Why does Character X look like that?/You know that they're supposed to look differently?
A: I'm aware that some of the designs stray a little from the book description. For me, a big part of enjoyment when drawing Warrior Cats comes from imagining my own design for them. Some I also made a bit more complex to fit with the other designs (f.e Hollyleaf). Some I changed just for aestethic reasons (I don't really like it when a design has colors that are only on one part for example, like Scourge's paw/collar) I tried to keep them still recognisable, if you don't know who's who though just ask!
Could you tell me who gave his lifes and why?
@@waffledemonoverlord4232 It's unknown who gave him his lives, but I'd assume Raggedstar was one of them
@@vega8063 hm. Well Blackstar is in the ultimate edge of the underraction : even the writers underrate him
@@vega8063 ty anyways :D
she's cute with that heart on her chest^^
Anyone else want a super edition on Blackstar ?
I do!! It would be super interesting to see all the stuff that happens from his perspective
We've always seen what he's done through the perspective of other cats, but we don't know what he was thinking through the times ! It would be Interesting to read.
We'd get to know what he thought when Brokenstar became leader, or when Tigerstar died.
How he felt exactly about chasing WindClan off.
Me 😭
I like the idea that Rosetail and Stonefur haunt him (but I 2 like the idea of Stonefur giving him a life out of forgiveness) as they are the cats he killed Rosetail kinda got in the way and Tigerstar ordered him to kill Stonefur and or the idea the he constantly trying to show that he is not going to turn out like Tigerstar or Brokenstar who he blindly followed
That would make for an interesting side to his character
Btw I loved the video
Me!
Blackstar will always be one of my favorite characters. He's always been an interesting character in my eyes. A step away from the "goody" Firestar and the "baddy" Tigerstar. He just falls somewhere in the middle. He goes from being just a henchman to one of Shadowclan's better leaders.
I really do want a super edition on him.
I fully agree with you.
lol, i dislike him because he killed stonefur.
Yep completely agree with you he was just being loyal! I think the best leader is Tallshadow she was really peaceful
The perfect character doesn’t exi-
*Blackstar appears*
My favorite clan is Riverclan owo
Blackstar wasn't evil in anyway, he was just a cat who followed the orders of his leader. And then when he becomes leader he just does what he thinks is right, not evil in any way. Well at least in my eyes.
Ya because its 'leaders word is law 'in the warrior code
He was just a pushover to the leaders that controlled him so he was just manipulated easily because he thought it was right this really makes me think better of him!
And you are right to think that, this song is Simi perfect for him but blood water seems a little better
@LIGHTNING'S ADVENTURES GUESS WHAT WE GET A NOVAL OF HIM IN2021😁
I know! He's so underrated and nobody minds him any attention, or when they do, it's, "Oh he's evil!" Well, you may have a better eye of him if you read Yellowfang's secret. At least I thought him differently...
Someone who drew scourge as being actually tiny like he's described?? My god it's a miracle!
Yeah i never see that
It's so weird! He's usually drawn the same size as Tigerstar, but Tigerstar is actually massive for a cat. He should be small compared to other cats and dwarfish compared to Tigerstar.
Tiny but menacing
@@nataliegallardo1634 Yeah lol
They also drew Littlecloud being really small too. I appreciate that there's the acceptance not all cats are the same size..
Blackstar to me was never a bad leader.
He was just a cat trying to fix a bad thing.
Tigerstar and Brokenstar, and a little bit of Nightstar, had completely MESSED UP Shadowclan, and Blackstar, although misguided in several places in life, was the one who dealt with the mistakes.
A headcanon of mine is that he never truly believed in Starclan after witnessing how easily Tigerstar and Brokenstar had messed things up.
Edit: 178 LIKES?! Oh wow... I’ve never had a comment get this popular! And this was just me rambling about a character who became one of my favorites! Thanks guys!
After sol left he believed in starclan.
Emma Wiley I agree
Brett Gordon
True; but that was because Raggedstar and Runningnose had appeared to him. I think that it took him seeing it to believe.
“Seeing is believing” and all of that.
Brokenstar was the only one messing up ShadowClan. Tigerstar made them strong again.
Ax
True, yet he ended up nearly destroying the forest with Bloodclan. The other clans BLAMED Shadowclan for taking him in as their leader, and while he was a actually pretty good one for them, he ruined their image. He made them look like a clan of liars and murderers. He is a dark stain on their history, and it did take Blackstar a while to get away from that image. And now with the new Tigerstar, I have a feeling that it is going to make a comeback.
“They had a Tigerstar as leader once, what’s going to happen now?” And all of that. The clan cats are gossipy little brats. You KNOW they’re gonna make up stories. And once again Shadowclan will be the clan with the leader trying to prove himself. So that means a battle. Then the stories start about Shadowclan attacking unprovoked. It’s an endless cycle of “ who makes up what and listens to who.”
Blackstar is flawed, just as all the characters in a well written novel should be. As the leader, and before that member, of Clan portrayed as evil it's hard for him to show what he is made of. I love this. You gave a cat without a pov a chance to shine.
All in favour for a Blackstar Superedition?
As long as they don't make him out to be full-on evil just because he's ShadowClan.
Hell yeah
He's having a novella in 2021!
@@_ranger__ SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely looove backstar and am sad he died in the first place
@@lilmattos9344 Ehh i love him too?
I love how you chose a character who has been kinda ignored, or just plain hated! I quite like Blackstar, so this was kinda surprising!
PS: I like the small little detail with his dew-claws ovo
Saaaaame
It seems that Black.Star has always just been hated for what he did.
But he only fought and killed because of Tiger.Star's Influence so
No one can truly blame him, because if I am completely honest,
Wouldn't all of us trust Tiger.Star because he was always the most
Popular due to his skills throughout the entirety of the clans and
Forest altogether also, he was young and naive and he wanted
To be a strong leader one day, mabey not as evil as Tiger.Star
But he probably looked up to Tiger.Star as a wiser and stronger
Idol than other leaders he had in ShadowClan. I don't find it that
Surprising for someone to make a Map for his story
Dew-claws???
@@p0werrch0rd dewclaw.
A smaller claw located on the inner side of a cat (or most other mammals' lower front leg?); which is used to provide extra grip incase of the said animal slips off a cliff, and might save them from falling to their deaths.
These 2 claws can not retract- but in most cases artists tend to draw them unsheathing and retracting smh
Google it or smth for a probably much more comprehensive definition
@@katsukibakugo9717 I probably wouldn't but that's because I'm tiny and I'd be aware that if he WANTED to hurt me, he could do it easily. I have trust issues though.
Just imagine how interesting things would have been if Blackstar had been around in VOS and if he had been Darktail's dad. That would have been so hardcore to see him stand up for his clan. He'd kick Darktail's ass, and I also think that having Blackstar die like that instead of Onestar, a massive sacrifice, going out trying to save his clan would have proved his worth and his loyalty
Everyone is always talking about ThunderClan and Firestar.
Even when other clans are metioned, it's NEVER ShadowClan. So, the fact someone is acknowledging BlackStar and what he's been through, is really awesome!
Blackstar has always been my favorite character in Warriors. Not because of his actions, he’s always just felt like the embodiment of ShadowClan itself. He’s just been one of those characters whose rare appearances have almost always been pretty good. He shows believable weaknesses a natural leader would have. In trusting Sol, Blackstar was just looking for the best way to keep his Clan healthy and strong. Unfortunately, that meant blindly following a manipulative villain and giving up on StarClan. Nevertheless, I loved your take on Blackstar and the pmv. I’m in love with your lineart!
same here
Oh, the nostalgia is killing me. I miss the old territories so desperately, especially when I think of Dawn of the Clans and they went through to get there and GRAY WING. And all the old leaders, the good old days. I know it's probably irrational, but I feel like my heart is being torn in two.
Yeah. I just want them back so bad, they are so nostalgic (and easier to understand when drawing comics) . I'm sure the majority of the read ers would appreciate it, and as i have noticed, people usually replant forests after destroying them. And after so many books, im sure the trees would have regrown, prey would be back. There is no stopping the clans to go back :,(
Blackstar's one of my favourite leaders and while I think he's not precisely the most intelligent man in the room, he's loyal to a fault. He had to scrape up what remained of ShadowClan and bring it back to its former glory. Maybe it's just me but I really hated the way they tackled his death. He drowned and that's it. What a lame way to take down one of the oldest, most traditional, coolest leaders of a Clan. I know I probably shouldn't but I'd love a super addition or at least a novella based on Blackstar.
Pupville101 yeah, of he were alive in a Vision of Shadows, Sleekwhisker and Needtail wouldn’t even think of betraying the clan and Darktail wouldn’t have gotten far
Where did u got that paw photo
I feel like blackstar is the most believable leaders since he has been one of the only ones to actually mess up a few times.
True oh and there is a novella on Blackstar
”I’ll Never be your chosen one” you already are
Who else agrees Sleekwhisker would’ve gotten her tail handed to her by Blackstar and would be too afraid to ever think about betraying Shadowclan after?
Dragon’s Touch all the cats who sided with Darktail would
Lol they wouldn't side with dark in the 1st place XD they just wanted a better leader, and black was where it was at.
If Blackstar were leader at the time it would have worked out well.
Yeh sleek would be so loyal
He would go out and kill Darktail himself.
Blackstar is the best thing that happened to sc for a long time💀
3:44 always gives me chills. This is amazing, Blackstar is so underrated, and to be quite honest, he is one of my favorite characters :)
I’m Impressed
I’ll Admit I Like To Imagine My Own Designs As Well
I Also Agree That Blackstar Was Never Really Evil &
I Like The Stonefur Life Of Forgiveness Idea Too
I could not ever prenounce that word
So if the Erins said that they were going to make a suprr edition about Black Star (Black Stars Guilt? Black Stars Mistake?)
Would you read it???
I know I would. Black Star is one of my favourite leaders.
Yes I would!
Definitely,he's my favourite warrior cat by far
^ that’s so cool! I’d read yours!
I’d read any supper edition about blackstar :3
Sakura Quirky -Sweetie Belle & Cream Puff- I’d call it Blackstar’s Regret
HELL YEAH
Beautifully made, ohmigosh!!
(Edit): Also, I love how you included more toes on Blackstar's paws in some shots, since he's canonically a polydactyly cat. Awesome attention to detail!
When I first read of him when he was just a stray attacking Thunderclan, I thought he was gonna be one of the character with only a single scene in the book. But the further I read the more interesting he got. Also he made wuiet a development from being a bad character to a really good, interesting leader.
I love Blackstar. He made mistakes but he was an amazing leader, trying to fix the Hell Brokenstar and Tigerstar made ShadowClan out to be. He just wanted the best for his Clan.
One of the most underrated characters! I'm so happy to see someone making something with Blackstar- so many people can't forgive him for what he did but that doesn't make him a less interesting character who did what he could to redeem himself.
And btw your Hollyleaf design bops
This is beautiful! qwq
Thank you! I love your stuff as well!
` ` Hello DESERT! ;) ` `
Beautiful just beautiful
It is official BlackStar is now my favorite Leader the poor little baby
Can we just appreciate how cool and unique hollyleaf's design in this is?
Because I love it.
I'm glad you do!
Wait that black and white cat was hollyleaf? The one that was next to who I'm assuming was jayfeather (the grey and striped cat) and lionblaze (the orange cat with fluffy fur around his neck)
@@Twinklethefox9022 Yep
No idea why but it was very pleasing to me when the music got soft and brokenstar just
Looked at Sol and did the singing thing
3:48
Oh my god I never thought about this song for Blackstar before but it fits him so well D:
Also oml your Hollyleaf design is GORGEOUS AAAAAAA
IM SO GLAD YOU DID THE MUD AND TREE MOMENT! That scene was honestly my favorite from the entire warriors books! It just so good 😭
THANK YOU CZcams FOR RECOMMENDING ME THIS
No really, this is awesome!
OMG... I love Blackstar... I love this song... IT'S FANTASTIC! Vega, thank you for this masterpiece)
Blackstar is such an awesome character. I feel like he redeemed himself along his journey because let's admit.. He did go through a lot with Shadow Clan's darkest day's and brought it back to what the Clan should've been.
Ahhhh dude this came out amazing!!! Loved all the expressions - Sol's eyes appearing before he does, and Scourage's design/coloration I especially enjoyed.
Thanks so much for sharing!!
-Spottedpath Of Flame
Ahh thank you!!
All your designs are so gorgeous! Especially Littlecloud, Scourge and Hollyleaf.
And Blackstar has to be one of my favorite characters.
I really would like a super edition on Blackstar maybe it could be called Blackstar's Judgement or something like that since he has a lot of conflicts that he goes through with himself and the outside world. So like we could get his thought process on so many things like why he was a bad guy in a first place, or when they're at the lake we could see what his thoughts are on his younger self's actions. We could also see what happened in his mind with the Sol problem. Idk just thought it might be cool really. :p
omg i love this so much!
blackstar has always been one of my fav chars a lot.
and i been waiting for a pmv about just him
most pmvs are tigerstar or brokenstar never HIM.
this pmv is amazing and im watch it everyday now XD
Thank you! I noticed that as well, the only MAP about him I found got cancelled as well, so I was determined to give this guy some attention, I'm glad you like it!
What a nice surprise to see! Another fantastic full-length PMV. Always nice to see something refreshing featuring a character not normally covered on their own by MAPs and such. Keep up the great work!
Great PMV! I think Blackstar is such a underrated character. So much things happened in his life and that makes him a very interesting character. He became Brokenstar's deputy, he killed Stonefur, he became leader of Shadowclan, he was manipulated by Sol ect. And he is also a great leader because he made Shadowclan strong again after everything with Tigerstar and he is what a Shadowclan leader should be.
Its nice to see that Blackstar supported Firestar, like a friend...
I literally cried while watching this, amazing job 😭💖
I love Blackstar sooo much he's one of my favourite characters. I honestly think he's super underrated. And keep in mind, some of the evil things he did were orders by his leaders. He was deputy to both Brokenstar AND Tigerstar. This vid is really great!
"you must find the six toed cat. Blackstar are you trying to make an arc centering around you?" Bluestar eyed Blackstar suspiciously, glancing at his forepaw with an extra toe. "The main series books can only be about ThunderClan cats!"
I love the headcanon of Stonefur forgiving Blackstar.
I never clicked on a notification so fast
I hope i speak for everyone when i say its AMAZING
Holy crap you actually drew Blackstar as a polydactyl like he's described? How rare and what a pleasant surprise!
I always felt bad for black star and how he always thought he was doing the right thing and then he understands he's not and now he just has it always haunt him
Finally a very good Blackstar video! 😍 I like him a lot!
Absolutely beautiful! Can I just say that you are one of my main inspirations to make PMVS and content like this.
❤️
Ahh I'm glad!!
Even though he isn't my favorite characters and can be quite a jerk in the books sometimes, I can respect the character arc that he goes through in the books. First he's a respectable warrior, then he kills Stonefur and everyone hates him, then he redeems himself as a good leader then everyone hates him because of his issues with Starclan in POT, then he is redeemed again before he dies. Gotta love a good character arc with ups as well as downs. They can't all be 100% perfect
Omg this is what Blackstar deserves! He deserves more attention then what the fandom gives him!!!!! He’s such an underrated character!!!!!!! Blackstar is my absolute favorite clan leader!!!!
This is so amazing and expressive and just *WOW :0*
Blackstar❤
Blackstar is maybe not a good person, but no one can match his loyalty.
Thanks for actually giving blackstar some attention
I love this! This is so beautiful. I feel like Blackstar was misunderstood because he felt like he needed to listen to Tigerstar or something horrible would happen to him. I know that he didn’t want to kill any cat in battles. And when Sol made him believe Starclan was not real, he only believed him because he was scared, and weak because he was hurt by his past. I don’t know if that made sense
It sucks to see such a talented artist like yourself so underrated! I love your art style, and the colouring is amazing! If you can pull this off in a couple of months, I can’t wait to see what you could give us in the future! Subscribed!
this song + warriors = perfection
Black star is underrated and hated on. He’s just a loyal dude who follows orders. He’s a soldier. That’s his mindset. And when he became leader he became a strategist. He uses his head
This is stunning holy cow💛💛💛
JDJABYHAJA YOU ARE STUNNING
beautiful !!
Firestar: “What will you do now, Blackfoot?”
Blackfoot: “Take my Clan home,and prepare for a journey to Highstones. I’m their leader now. We have much to do to recover, but life in the forest will go on as usual.”
Firestar: “Then I’ll see you at the next Gathering. *And Blackfoot, you would do well to learn from the mistakes of your predecessors.* I saw what you did to Stonefur at the Bonehill.”
A shadow flitted across Blackfoot’s eyes, and he did not reply.
---The Darkest Hour
This is literally my favorite Warrior Cats PMV ever
incredible!
Such a great PMV !!! I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God this has to be one of the best pmvs I've ever seen, always just had this wonderful way about it that really shows off how awesome blackstar truly was. Wonderful pmv.
Blackstar is such a underrated character. I hope he gets a super edition
This is my 11th time watching this 😅
It's AMAZING 💞
This is amazing ! It’s so cute !! Aaa 💜 he’s so cute
I miss me.
The old me.
The happy me.
The smiling me.
The bright me.
The laughing me.
The gone me.
When I saw this, I thought my eyes were playing a trick on me. But it's real! An actual Blackstar PMV! OH MY GOD, I'VE WAITED FOREVER FOR THIS! 🤩🥳 And it's a damn good one, too. The Art is fantastic. Not the biggest fan of the song, but that's just because this isn't my type of music. The lyrics fit Blackstar pretty much perfectly. I wish I could give more likes...
Blackstar is one of the best characters in the entire franchise. Even though he's just a side character, he is more three-dimensional than some of the main characters. The fact that he started out as a villain and underwent an (sadly for the most part unseen) redemption, is already enough reason to make him interesting. Small details like his (implied) feelings of guilt and depression, or that he wasn't born a natural leader but had to learn to be one, are just the icing on the cake. He's so cruelly underrated...
No lies: IT'S PERFECT. I reaaally like it! Your style, animation, ALL IS PERFECT. The song feels much more emotional than it already is. I LOVE! (Sorry if something's wrong, I'm from Ukraine lol)
I love this song. I love your art. This is awesome
No, seriously?? 0:
I HAVE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR A BLACKSTAR-CENTERED VIDEO!!! FINALLY! Thank you so much
Absolutely stunning! The combination of a character underappreciated by the fandom and the powerful, seldom used song blows me away! I've loved this song for some time, so I loved seeing the pairing here. Well done! Can't wait to see more from you.

*Accidentally clicks on video*
Me: *SUBS AND LIKES*
I love this PMV! Blackstar is so underrated, he went through a lot and his death is just glossed over. Everyone's always talking about how underrated Stonefur is, but Blackstar is ignored throughout most of his life.
This looks absolutely stunning!
Sometimes I believe Shadowclan is cursed since Raggedstar
Man I feel bad for Shadow clan man **Spoilers**
First they deal with broken Star
Then there territory gets taken away
Then they meet sol and he does his thing
They looe connection with star clan for a while (Oop)
THEN DOENST THERE MED APP AND MED DIE?!
AND THEN DARK TAIL COMES AND ALL THERE PEEPS JOIN THEM
AND THEN THEY LOOSE TERRITORY FOR SKY CLAN AND IS BLAMED FOR SKYCLAN LEAVING-
YES FINALLY A BLACKSTAR RELATED VIDEO!!!
10/10 best thing I have watched on CZcams in years, greatly animated, perfect song, and overall a beautiful art
I still have mixed feelings about Blackstar, yes he was an amazing warrior and I understand that when times get rough you can lose faith and all but as a leader he should have made sure he picked a better deputy to teach the apprentices to be more nice. I absolutely hate ShadowClan now and I feel like the Erins are starts to have people hate them more instead of the others with the Apprentice's Quest arc. :/ I'm not sure, I need more info and videos to get a complete solid opinion on Blackstar and ShadowClan
TBF Russetfur was an excellent deputy, and was Blackstar's deputy for the vast majority of his reign. Part of Rowanclaw's problem was that he was TOO nice. Blackstar and Russetfur kept their asses in line.
WhattaDay seriously, Russetfur would’ve beaten Sleekwhisker’s tail into submission and beaten Needtail down with words
:p
Oh, man! This was great! Blackstar's character arc really is so underappreciated; I love the way you portrayed it. Using both the struggles with Tigerstar and Sol made for a really good contrast
Oh man, I love Blackstar, and this is so so cool. The song is a GREAT vibe for him, and I find his story to be really interesting too, and I loooove your style and how strongly you convey emotion. This is just SO COOL!!! Love it
I am so glad i found this pmv. I rarely find any blackstar content, but honestly he is one of my favorite leadets
I still can't belive that Blackstar is a leader. He personally got to see starclan to get his lives. Next thing you know he's denying their existence. He's living proof that starclan exists.
I’ve watched this so many times, it’s so beautiful. You really deserve more love!
wow I love this so much!! The song fits Blackstar so so well and it captures his life really well, and not to mention your art is so good! ahh amazing job!!
Man so awesome! I know he appears little in the PMV, but I love the size difference you gave scourge EVERYTHING IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Woooh I got goosebumps throughout the whole rest of the second half. Amazing job!
Wow, just think what Blackstar had to go through, trying to undo the bloody legacies of not one but two of his predecessors. That phrase "I'll Never Wear Your Broken Crown" fits Blackstar so well.
Oh gosh Blackstar was always my favorite leader, but as you said he was sadly over looked by so many. Thank you for making this, it's beautiful!
One of my favorite Mumford and Sons song and this describes Blackstar so well! Good job!
I love this so much!!
This is amazing! Blackstar is one of my favorite leaders. He's flawed, and to me, that gives him so much more depth and personality than a lot of the other ones.
This is awesome!
It’s official! The Erin’s are writing a Blackstar super edition!
