- HAPPY NEW YEAR @LenisLynx !!!!
"Fireheart first meets Scourge when hunting for herbs on the fringes of Twolegplace. When Scourge later falls ill, he remembers the strange forest cat who said he had herbs to cure sickness - so he has Fireheart taken to see him. Fireheart is at first unnerved by the small leader of BloodClan, but seeing him sick and pathetic makes his heart melt. The two strike up an unlikely friendship.
Later Fireheart would have to rely on that friendship, when he, Bluestar, and Ravensong flee ThunderClan and Tigerstar. Scourge grants them sanctuary in BloodClan. But being in close proximity to Scourge in his role as leader of BloodClan, reveals a side to his friend that Fireheart was not fully aware of... and one he cannot condone."
This is my secret santa gift for my dear friend Imber, who has helped me so much this year and been just an amazing friend :) I am absolutely in love with their Warriors AU "Fire Lilies", where Fireheart becomes a medicine cat, which I also did the animatic God Help the Outcasts for. This video takes place around the same time period (which is honestly a VERY small slice of the full story, I just happen to like that slice a lot lol.) I wanted to explore Fireheart and Scourge's friendship. They have a complicated relationship, as they stand at polar opposite ends of ideals, and yet see the other as their brother... Fireheart is Scourge's first glimpse into a life that ISN'T choked in blood and violence, and for the first time he starts to think things could be...different. Unfortunately he doesn't figure it out before he drives Fireheart away. (It's a vast simplification of how things ACTUALLY go down in the AU, but it makes for a good video.)
I had been replaying this song and imagining this animatic for weeks before I was assigned Imber as my Secret Santee, and I just HAD to take the opportunity to speedrun a holiday animatic heh! Imber I hope you like it!!
Currently you can't find a lot of Fire Lilies stuff, but there is a fic currently being written! You can find the link below when it is posted. ^^
Fire Lilies Fic: TBA
Fire Lilies Videos: • Fire Lilies
The song is Southern Star, by Gregory Alan Isakov - • gregory alan isakov - ...
I made this video using Toon Boom Storyboard Pro. - Hudba
Rooke, I cannot express how much I love these boards. You’ve captured Fireheart’s and Scourge’s relationship so well. Thank you for the wonderful gift :)
I am so glad
I think this is one of the best things I've seen lately in terms of characterization for Scourge because it remembers that Scourge has a dichotomy of both being cold and quick to punish with violence, but also someone who is genuinely loyal to those he views on his side and willing to be diplomatic. He's not some pure psychopathic killer, otherwise he would have killed his siblings rather than actually giving them food and letting them be on their way. We know that he did defend Bloodclan against attacks from other cats too. So seeing him here as someone who remembers debts owed to Fireheart and can be pleasant to someone on his side while also being exceedingly harsh with someone who crosses him, I think it perfectly sums up his characterization.
Thank you so much!! This is a great analysis! You really hit the nail on the head - LenisLynx really explores a lot of fascinating characterization in their Fire Lilies AU, which is part of why I love it so much
I love that last shot where Scourge is off-center on the fence. You'd expect him to be evenly in the middle for aesthetic purposes. And yet, the staging drives home the feeling that there's something missing. Someone was meant to be by his side, and the full-view makes it seem like the world is too big for him now. He's out of place, literally.
My gosh your storyboard skills are off the charts!! I LOOOVE the shape language of Fire being round and Scourge being sharp shapes of the designs used in this!! and the emotion!! you're SO good at storytelling
Thank you!! I love love love LenisLynx's AU and designs, the characters are so SHAPED
THIS IS SO AWESOME! Last Fire Lilies storyboard I was confused to how Scourge let the trio into BloodClan because it was so out of character, but this makes so much sense! I love the idea that Scourge just wants a friend and that he isn’t completely emotionless!
Just saying that it doesnt really matter if something is out of character in an au lol, thats the whole point of aus
@@actuallybingbing yeah I guess, but I much perfer aus that keep characters very similar to the original story because then it feels like it’s a part of the original story!
This is very well made! Especially how Scourge and Fireheart’s designs clash showing their differences. Poor Scourge though, he just found out it was wrong when it was too late.
Thank you! The designs were made by LenisLynx, who also wrote this AU! :D
My heart cries seeing Scourge getting upset with Fireheart leaving, seeing that emotion on Scourge is so interesting!! Love the idea of the AU, and you do it such great justice with these animatics!
Scourge is just a traumatized kitten needing someone to see his struggle at heart, and I love au's like these that show that side.
I absolutely love the terrifying bloody murderous face changing to a warm smile. Love the shape differences between them and I assume Fireheart is a medicine cat in this? There are SO many ways their brotherly relationship could have been developed and I LOVE this
Oh my gosh this is one of the best storyboards i’ve seen. i love the difference in the way Fireheart and Scourge look, scourge being sharp and Fireheart being more round snd plushie like almost. You can tell whats happening and its so sad yet almost beautiful. You are SO good at this!
I love this honestly, the shapes of their body makes such diference, Fire being rounder and Scourge with sharp edges, the emotion, everything. you never fail to tell the stories and etc.
Just noticed how Fireheart has a cute lil heart nose while Scourge has a slit in a vaguely similar shape (to convey its a nose) but its in no way heart shaped. Honestly the shape language here is insane and it lives rent free in my head. Congrats to the both of you for this accomplishment!
Hehe thank you! It’s great you caught that
ooough you always do such a good job showing emotions and personalities in your work it is SO unreal oh my LORD this is so stunning. That last shot gave me literal goosebumps
THAT SCOURGE GETS SOMEWHAT BETTER AND THEY MAKE UP ILL CRY OTHERWISE
You'll have to find out when the fic eventually releases
Omg just realized fireheart slow blinked and scourge so cute in the beginning
your storyboards always tell the story so well without me needing much of an explanation! love this au
I love the banner on your channel! Did you make it?
Whoa I love the Boon AU fanart as your banner!! Do you have the full picture posted anywhere?
@@JumpdeArt yes i did! though, earlier this year
@@DragonwolfRookeit deleted my comment for sending a link, but thank you! i did it earlier this year, and i have it posted in my toyhouse under my paintings/art dump
Gahhh, dude the ending broke my heart. I’m such a sucker for good friends who’s morals don’t align.
ROOKE I KEEP REWATCHING THIS AND ITS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HOW CLEAR AND BEAUTIFUL YOUR STORYTELLING IS IN THIS
THANK YOU PIX AHHHH
FIRE LILLIES
Eeee thank you Donna!!
This AU is beautiful! I love how they’re friendship forms! It’s a very interesting and heartfelt AU! I also liked how you made Fireheart a medicine cat!
The amount of emotion conveyed in this short time with your art and this song choice is phenomenal! Now please excuse me while I go CRY
Fireheart looks like simba and in loving it!!!
Dude, they convey the emotions and dynamics of what is happening sooooo well! And the style of each of them is interpreted to the heart!
+ the mood from lamp moments to hopeless drama is wildly good!!! I rewatch it over and over again!
Normally with AU storyboards and animations I struggle to understand what's going on a bit. Not here - everything was perfectly clear (and heartwarming AND heartbreaking). Not to mention how much I adore your character designs!!!! Skinny pointy Scourge and round friend-shaped Firestar are suuuuuch good contrasts I'm drooling
Thank you so much!! They are actually LenisLynx's designs for their AU, they have such incredible design skills!!
I'd go crazy if you ever made this concept into a map.
oh this is gorgeous!! the shot of scourge giving fire a warm smile hurts me sm ;-;
Idk if this is a design choice or something meant but I'm going to say it anyways: I love the way scourge doesn't have eyebrows. until like the very end when fireheart leaves. it shows how emotionless he is until his closest friend leaves him and I love it. fireheart and the others have eyebrows and it expresses them and shows the way they feel. whereas with scourge you don't have a clue sometimes because he looks so cold and expressionless. then at the end, he's hit with fireheart leaving him and he looks broken. so well done I love this
Good catch! Scourge not having eyebrows is an integral part of LenisLynx's design for him - it definitely makes him feel so much more enigmatic and emotionless. ^^
@@DragonwolfRooke omg that's ace!!
THIS IS SO GOOD ( and sad )
Scourge: No one can hurt my cinamon rool. If you do it I am gonna kill you.
Fireheart: Fun... I am going for a milk.
Couldn't even cry to this, I broke down immediately!!! CLEAN UP AISLE ON MY WRISTS 🙏🔥💯😂 (I can’t do this)
2:01 this part is so emotional I love the way how Scourge looked like ‘why did I do that…’
Part 2 this is so good that I Will see more❤❤❤❤❤❤
Это так прекрасно!!..... И так грустно....
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's so beautiful!! ..... And it's so sad....
Oh my gosh this was amazing!!! The concept of the au is so creative and ur so skilled at storyboarding, u definitely have a talent for visual storytelling. The ending broke my heart too :,0
Dynamic shots, expressive shape language, clever composition, this has it all! I'm always amazed by your clear yet simple storytelling, beautiful work as always!! c:
I like the idea that they could have had a brotherly connection
This is adorable
Can't get over how good this is. You always make me feel all the things with your animatics
This is so cute and sad at the same time! You as story’s are beautiful and amazing!

It’s weird to see a animator this good not just poof
MED CAT FIREHEART!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSS edit: I watched all the way to the end
aw poor Scourge :( Didn’t realize he would be in the wrong. Amazing storyboard! I could tell what was happening without the description (which I read just to be sure) I love this AU!
OOOOGGGHHHH THE "WARM SMILE" BIT BROKE ME......AMAZING JOB THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!

Oh I can’t wait for another one of your stories. Are you thinking of going into film professionally?
I actually work as a professional story artist ^^
Yo I think I’ll take this whole video and animate it, I’ll let you know if it’s going well or not. (If it’s okay with you)
As long as you link back to this video, and credit LenisLynx for the story, then go for it!
@@DragonwolfRookeI’ll make it unlisted and share the link to the drawn part in this reply section then you can take it and put it on your YT as long as my end credits for the end of the video stays in.
@@galaxykinggamer5082 I would prefer it if you posted it to your own channel, and just put the link to this video in the credits.
@@DragonwolfRookealso I’m not good at animation so I’m just going to be drawing
@@DragonwolfRookeok
Can you maybe do a part 2 3 4 5 and 6 plssssss❤❤❤❤❤
WHAT RHE FUCK YOU ARE SO COOL THIS IS SO COOL YOU ARE THE STORYBOARD ARTIST EVER

Does the story end with Fireheart leaving?
Nah there's lots more, this video just focused on Scourge and Fireheart's friendship
Are they gonna make up ?(is the. Comic dub here yet i think thats what u said with another comment right?)
The creator of the AU, LenisLynx, is writing a fanfic of it! It hasnt come out yet though. But when it does I will link it, and it will answer that question!
Zhis is a new map?
Yet another potential map that I would LOVE to see!!
Ame. Pero ¿Por qué Scourge es más alto que Fire?
Porque aveces es dificil dibujar consistenciamente los personajes LOL
