    "These dead men walk on water, cold blood runs through their veins.... the angry river rises as we step into the rain.... "
    IT'S DONE!!! First and foremost, a HUGE thank you to ‪@kaidalynch‬ for editing this thing all together (she also did part 1!) this wouldn't have been finished without her!! And thank you to Smare Nops for creating the thumbnail text and intro text! And of course, a massive thank you to all the wonderful participants. Every single one created a fantastic work of art to feature in this project, and I couldn't be happier. Such a wonderful and memorable first-MAP-hosting experience :'-3 I hope to work with you all again some day, and I hope you guys are as thrilled with this final project as I am!
    The concept for this split-screen MAP was to show the cats' living life in the left box, and their "life" in the swamp-like Dark Forest in the right box. This project features both canon cats and original characters!

    For anyone like me, curious of who every part represents; here's a list !!
    Intro B : Hawkfrost who died near the lake reappers in the Dark Forest, breaking through the water
    Part 1 : OCs, Stealthfur and Aspenflame fight against each other, both alive and in the Dark Forest
    Part 2 : OCs, black tabby kills a cat at the moonstone. His blood pours on the moonstone, and the siamese takes hold of the now free body
    Part 3 : Antpelt feels out of place in Windclan but fits right in among the warriors of the Dark Forest
    Part 4 : OC, Cloudynight looks confidently at the sky with a mouth full of blood, but is seen trudging through the Dark Forest with an unsure expression
    Part 5 : Tigerstar and Darkstrip headbutt softly, Darkstripe looking worried as Tigerstar phase into the Dark Forest. Darkstripe's body lays crying in the water.
    Part 6 : OC, Sleepyhollow dies leading a rebellion against Starclan and ends up in the Dark Forest.
    Part 7 : Thistleclaw plays in the water with Snowfur, but stumble angrily into the Dark Forest waters.
    Part 8 : AU Firestar, Fireeyes burns down the forest and sinks into the angry river.
    Part 9 : OC, Eelface stands next to her dead brother feeling betrayed by Star Clan, and reluctantly accepts her destiny as a DF cat.
    Part 10 : Hawkfrost catches a fish, but in the Dark Forest dreams of destroying all light.
    Part 11 : OCs, Emry and Moonlily. The brown she-cat cries over the blond she-cat dead body; she arises from the water and is confronted by the blonde now Starclan she-cat
    Part 12 : Ashfur looks into the lake before being killed by Hollyleaf, he awakens in the Dark Forest.
    Part 13 : Flametail drowns into the lake. He's lured into the Dark Forest, where Brokenstar orders Ivypaw to kill him. Tigerheart defends his brother.
    Part 14 : Ivypaw is under the tutelage of Hawkfrost, and she fights against Antpelt in the Dark Forest.
    Part 15 : Antpelt and Breezepelt train in the Dark Forest, gaining more and more wounds as time go by. Antpelt seems scared as he battles Ivypaw, and disappears for good under her attacks.
    Part 16 : Snowtfut looks eerily calm in a snowy night despite the trail of blood he created, but is terrified and clings desperately to a tree in the DF.
    Part 17 : Tigerstar fights and dies at the hand of Scourge to Firestar's shock. The tabby tom walks in the DF and coughs up blood because of his wounds, looking furious.
    Part 18 : Mapleshade thinks of her kits and looks grief-stricken; but runs through the Dark Forest with ease. A crazed grin finds it way on her face
    Part 19 : OC, Poppyseed kills her corrupt leader with deathberries but goes too far. She dies in a similar manner and must face the consequences of her actions in the Dark Forest.
    Part 20 : Darktail faces Onestar at the lake, and claws his way out of the DF waters. Thinking of Onestar, he slams his paw on the ground with rage.
    Part 21 : OC, Crowsong follows a raven's trail under the stars with a frown. She ends up in the DF, her white curly fur now a sleek black coat and a haunting look on her face.
    Part 22 : Hawkfrost is staring at Leopardstar and Mistyfoot with animosity. In the DF, he oversees Ivypaw's training and smirks.
    Part 23 : OC, A sand-colored cat pushes another over the edge of a cliff : he smirks and seems satisfied with his actions. But among the waters of the Dark Forest he stumbles and lays, seemingly defeated and regretful.

    i love this interpretation of the dark forest, and i especially like the fact that several cats are genuinely terrified and/or miserable in the dark forest. i kind of wish this was how it was written in the books, since it would make the whole “wanting to break out of cat hell to kill everyone” plot point make more sense

    • @evanhunt1863
      @evanhunt1863 Před 2 lety

      You know, you gave me an idea - we know that the Dark Forest can corrupt cats. What if it slowly, subtly altered *why* they wanted to get out? It would have gradually changed their goal from "get out of cat hell so we can get our revenge and improve the state of our existence" to "get out so we can kill things."
      Most of them wouldn't have even realized it was happening. And the rest? Some of them just wouldn't care. Some cats are truly irredeemable, are so self-centered and cruel that they would burn the world down for their revenge. The outliers, like Snowtuft? Too scared to stand up to the corrupted ones.
      All this begs a question about the corrupting effect. The Place of No Stars emphasizes the negative feelings of its inhabitants and visitors, in a way that is not obvious to the victims. We know that the Dark Forest cats appeared to be transforming WindClan's moor into a Dark Forest replica. Is this intentional? Did the Place of No Stars *want* to expand, to grow, to make all of existence like itself? For that matter, did it want anything? Is this just a blind impulse, like cancer cells multiplying until they overrun a body? Or is there something more - a malevolent, alien intelligence at work?
      Do you see what I'm getting at? I wonder if the Dark Forest *made itself an army* so that it could expand. Consider how the spatial warping that kept cats apart began to fail when Tigerstar took over. This could just be a manifestation of its inherent properties, or a deliberate effect; the latter has some worrying implications.
      Alternatively, the "aura" could just be a sort of spiritual pollution from all of the clans' garbage (read: sinners) getting dumped there, which has its own sort of horror.

    Can I just say that my absolute most favorite part out of this whole map is the Snowtuft part? Legit the contrast between his indifference sitting in front of the path of blood and his raw terror as he clings to the tree in the Dark Forest...
    And the music during it... it's almost poetic and says a lot, for some reason. Not about Snowtuft himself, but something...
    Someone who thought that they were on top of the world because they were 'bad' but when they entered a world where the darkness in everyone was filling the air like a haze of toxic gas, they no longer saw themselves as anything but a small bug who could be stepped on at any second.
    We don't know much about Snowtuft, but he stuck around despite being treated like he was mud. He kept crawling back as if he was desperate for something. But, we'll never know his story so that's just something to think about.
    We all knew he was afraid. But, he also was desperate.

  • @DragonDaSilvahas_massive_chode

    All of these parts are beautiful I stg

  • @panthalassicpoet
    @panthalassicpoet Před 3 lety +274

    This is a visually stunning project, enthralling to the eyes. I love the unique double-paneled formatting and the visual effects it permits: the contrast between the cool blues of life and the warm reds and browns of the Dark Forest, as well as the way some animators mirrored the panels' movement or composition or else had action sort of flow between the panels. And the way the motion in each part matches the rhythm of the song is impeccable.
    Individual feedback:
    -TurnipStewdios: The level of detail here-the sheen to every pebble on the shore-is incredible. I adore the motion of the water in both panels; it looks so real, and I love that the timing of its swell is the same on each side.
    -Kaida Animations: I can only imagine the difficulty of creating 3D models for multiple characters and environmental elements (and it’s only your first 3D Warriors animation??). The movement here is so smooth and the way you time the leap and sudden camera motion matches up nicely with the cats’ tumbling into the right panel.
    -raevei: The style is beautiful, looks almost painted. The lighting is absolutely gorgeous, particularly on the moonstone. A couple of these shots I was convinced were 3D. I love the flow of motion at the end, with one eye closing and the other widening.
    -Selket: The host of ghostly figures stalking along conveys such an eerie mood, and I like how the direction of their march matches the padding feet in the left panel. I also love the windblown motion of the grass.
    -Wynde Weynilard: How do you have so few subscribers? Your animation is so smooth and the rhythm of it is spot-on. I love the perfectly-paced leaps and the curving sweep of Cloudynight's tail.
    -LolzNeo: The partially lineless style is very pleasing, as is the color scheme in the left panel. Darkstripe's expressions are pretty adorable, and I love how Tigerstar passes from one panel to the next, in the flesh to in the shadow.
    -GoblinHound: Your compositions are super interesting; I love the framing effect of the tree branches in both panels. Sleepyhollow's facial motions are impressively smooth.
    -Feliecho: The animation is really smooth, particularly those splashes, and I love how the water motion and dripping fur are repeated successively from one panel to the other.
    -Finchwing: This part is really stunning; the sort of mirrored overhead motion in opposite directions, coupled with the music, can draw the breath away. And the camera motion and pacing are fantastic, the zoom in from the flame to Fireeyes' face and the successive tail-y transition to an overhead view.
    -Amelia Bothe: There's so much movement in this part, even the little details like dripping blood and twitching fur. I love how we get the beginnings of Eelface smearing her face in one shot, and see the completed effect in the next with a dramatic head turn.
    -Sagutoyas: I love the look of those twisted Dark Forest trees and ringed clouds. There's a lot of great motion here and it fits together really well. Hawkfrost's malicious paw clench is a perfect ending for the part and certainly matches the music.
    -megasaurus: Your art style is really pretty! I adore the look of the red fur and clouds combined with the blue skies and eyes. The opening shot of the Dark Forest is beautifully composed, and I love how the upward camera motion is paralleled in both panels.
    -XxLunaWarriorxX: The shots are really well-composed here, and there's a nice variety of perspectives. I love the downward movement of Ashfur's drowning contrasted with the upward movement of his rising in the Dark Forest, accompanied by the contrast of the left panel's darkening with the right's growing glow.
    -Ursiday: I love all the character movement in here, Brokenstar's cut-throat gesture and the threatening sweep of Ivypaw's tail. It's so cool how you depicted the fiery trees of the Dark Forest reflected at the bottom of the water.
    -Dark Tale: You've got a really pleasing art style, and even the style of animation is super fun to watch-that spring onto the tree and swing of the paw. The movement in the right panel is so dynamic, which contrasts nicely with the subtler animation on the left.
    -Bunny Guin: There's so much emotion in these body movements and facial expressions; really makes you feel for Antpelt. Curling up in the nest to die (somehow the overhead view works really well for this), collapsing back in the river in despair, eyes widening in shock...
    -Hollyleevs: I love the rhythmic motion here and how beautifully it aligns with the music-the wind-tugged fur, the dramatic zoom out, the desperate panting. There's so much emotion to the animation.
    -ArtsyFeathers: The circular camera motion here is really impressive, and the movement in general is so smooth. Fantastic action scenes, and I love how Tigerstar simultaneously rears back his head in both panels and then has it thrown down; nice parallel.
    -Val Gomi: I really like the look of the kits' ghostly reflections in the water and the large, mushroomed roots of the Dark Forest. The run cycle is super smooth and nicely timed to the music. And I love how the wind at the end sweeps across both panels, how it tugs at Mapleshade's mane and sends ripples across the grass.
    -Black Lory: The shot of Poppyseed’s back trotting away from the corpse creates such a sinister, atmospheric scene, and I love the rhythmic motion of her tail. The lip-sync is great, especially with the accompanying movement of eyes and fur.
    -Outkorp: Some really cool posing and movement in this way. I really enjoy the shot of the water washing over rocks, and then the way you tip the perspective on that scene. I love the symmetry of both ending shots, the one with the horizon framed in the middle and the other with a cat.
    -Louixie: The continuity between panels is amazing-first, the alignment of the paw step with the eye-opening (Crowsong’s gaze is chilling…), and then the burst from the left panel into the right (the flying feathers really accentuate its intensity). Something about that head turn at the end looks so three-dimensional.
    -Keilidh Bradley: Your linework is so smooth! I like the composition of the shots, framing characters between Hawkfrost’s ears and setting him against his shadowy, imposing father, whose eyes are never shown. I also like how his expression in each panel matches at the end, though one looking up and the other down.
    -Ruby Mushroom: Amazing movement in this-I love the character’s tail in the cliff attack, undulating up and down and forming a sort of wave with his body. Very pleasing to watch. The spatter and drip of the dark liquid as he collapses is also really well-animated.

    Turnip the star effect and the black/orange water was done absolutely super!
    Kaida the movement between the screens was so smooth and the dispersing sparkles really pulled it together!
    Raevei the color work of the left holy sh- it's so pretty and the shading of the right is radiant!
    Selket the ghost effect and depth is really amazing!
    Wynde/DrBubbles the emotions and smoothness of the changing lighting is incredible!
    Lolz ahh the movement between parts i- and the body language hot dam
    GoblinHound the mud/blood and the lightning sparks is stunning!
    Feliecho the water splashes and smoothness is gorgeous!

    The idea of evil cats coming out of the black water like sandman is top tier
    Also everyone did an gorgeous job on their MAP parts! This one deserves to be one of the best warrior maps this decade

    for anyone who was confused watching this and identifying the characters!!!! there’s a large variety of stuff in here, since this has canon characters, ocs, and aus all in one. i got the information from the descriptions of the individual parts (which means i didn’t include much speculation). if any of this is inaccurate, let me know and i’ll fix it
    p.s. this map is amazing and it was worth the wait
    1: forest, no characters
    2: unknown
    3: unknown
    4: ocs. dark forest character told the dark tabby to bring a cat to the moonstone and kill them, blood pours into the moonstone and the dark forest cat possesses the dark tabby
    5: antpelt
    6: ocs. oc’s name is cloudynight, backstory unknown
    7: darkstripe
    8: ocs. the oc’s name is sleepyhollow. she was anti-starclan, and involved in a prophecy which she almost sabotaged by turning against starclan and her clan, beginning an uprising. she was killed in the final battle
    9: thistleclaw and snowfur
    10: au where instead of saving the clan, firestar burns it down. his name is changed to fireeyes since in this au, his eyes are fire-colored, not his fur
    11: ocs. oc’s name is eelface. she killed her brother and was sent to the dark forest for it
    12: hawkfrost
    13: ocs. oc’s names are emry and moonlily, backstory unknown
    14: au where ashfur goes to the dark forest when he dies
    15: the scene where flametail gets lost in the dark forest after his death. brokenstar orders ivypool to kill him, but tigerheart defends him
    16: unknown, possibly ivypool killing antpelt
    17: antpelt’s death
    18: snowtuft
    19: tigerstar
    20: mapleshade
    21: ocs. oc’s name is poppyseed. she was a medicine cat who put to sleep corrupt leaders with deathberries, but eventually got carried away and started putting innocent cats to sleep. this is also a human oc turned into a warriors oc according to the owner
    22: unknown
    23: ocs. oc’s name is crowsong. she was a white cat born into a clan of black cats. feeling left out and ashamed of her appearance, she used tar to make herself appear black, and started killing the cats who wronged her. her friend killed her afterwards
    24: hawkfrost
    25: ocs. oc’s name and backstory unknown
    help this took 30 minutes to make

    This turned out so incredible, omg! I love how the cat at 0:55 disappears into the water, that's so chilling. And I love how the screen darkens when Ashfur realizes he's in the dark forest at 1:25 that's such a neat detail. ALSO also the way the cat begins speaking on the left and switches over to the right is a really great idea at 2:15
    Every part looks perfect wow, the split screen makes everything so much more interesting. Props to you, Amelia for hosting this and from what I've seen people say, being a great communicator with all the participants!! If you ever host another MAP I'd love to see it 👌

    This is the most interesting, unique, cinematic, stunningly animated map ive ever seen. Everything about this works. The colour palette, the song, the mood, the concept...it all comes together to immaculately capture some of the best elements of Warriors, executed in a way I've never seen before. Easily my new favourite map!! Thank you to the talented and wonderful people who all had a hand in creating this masterpiece.

  • @RobinIThink
    @RobinIThink Před 3 lety +11

    I like the idea of the dark forest being an endless swamp you can't escape from.
    And I also like that most of these cats in the map look like they don't even want to be there. In the books you actually never hear from a cat that regrets being evil and wants to leave the dark forest.
    Sorry for the bad English.
    Edit: 1:53 That was actually cute. Seeing tears and stuff like he REALLY regrets what he's done. Dark Forest really is the hell for cats.

    @chrismusix5669 Před 2 lety +5

    It's like a dream. Btw, if you guys don't ever watch these MAPs in VR, you are really missing out. Even though they aren't animated for VR, something about using a VR headset still gives the video a three dimensional depth. Awesome experience.

  • @Mynamedoesntstandfornothin

    I like to imagine the dark forest cats suffer with extra pain from their victims and wrongdoings; mapleshade killing 3-4 cats, she suffers through those injuries every day, but has learned to mask it.

This has got to be one of my favorite all time MAPS!
