- Spoilers for Artificer's Campaign!
The official Rainworld Discord is having an art event where each day is a new prompt for us to draw!
Day 17 - Artificer
I've made an animatic for this in Febuary and decided two weeks ago to finish it for Artificer day - Was a mistake, I've done nothing but drawing the last two weeks, but it's done!
Edit 18/107/2023: I was not expecting for this video to blow up the way it did, thank you so much for everyone for enjoying my animation! ♥ I read every comment and it makes me really happy to see how much people liked it :)

I wish I could answer all of you - UA-cam is doing it's thing and the video is getting more notoriety! Thanks everyone for the kind comments :)
You are welcome!
I have watched this 62 times. I have a mindset where if I find something good and I know its good, I will return many times. I have used 2 packs of Sticky notes making tallies on videos that I have this reaction with.
I love how everyone in the rain world community is all goofing around being silly, then the moment arti is mentioned, everyone goes all serious mode
This is true though
Bomb cat is serious
I know it's a video game, but Arti story is still one of a mother who lost her kids because kids are kids.
Is it justified of her to kill scavs because of the this? No
But will others sympathize with her? *Yes.*
I think it very justified.@@sirith9157
@@sirith9157 Does animations like this make me want to cry? Yes
Will I have the ability too? Hardly ever.
Update: The blockade is gone... I can now start sobbing quietly again over Artificer (and Saint's... final interaction with Pebbles and our dearest Big Sis Moon)
@@sirith9157 Is genocide of the scavenger species justified? No, not really. But she's a grieving mother, and scavengers are greedy bastards who killed a child over a single pearl. I'd say her anger is completely justified, and it's understandable why she'd want to kill the scavengers afterwards. Not saying it's justified, just understandable.
I love the symbolism of "they lost all of their karma the second they realized it was the scavengers faults"
The way you draw slugcats is amazing, I’ve never seen anything quite like it! You really captured the pain of the Artificer 😢
sheis not in pain, she is a zombie, she wants to die but she wants to bring down as many scavs as possible down with her
@@Paratroopersteark To be fair that sounds like pain to me. ~
This shows how vengful artificer is and how battle torn it really is, going from pristene red slugcat coat to a darker more worn and torn pelt with many scars
Man poor artificer.
Rich artificer
@@Atomic_Pinneaple bruh
Very fitting for the game, before downpour no one had a "happy" or good ending, at the best, just was neutral
@@na3930 *GOURMAND*
@@na3930He’s the best chunky boi :)
This was fantastic. The montage with the karma decreasing and Pebbles giving Artificer her final task was a wonderful capstone to the tragic anger of her story.
The escape into memories and dreams, the longing for days gone, the pain and wrath. You did a phenomenal work capturing and enhancing all these things and more from Artificers campaign. My only criticism/complaint would be the sorrow filling my heart currently.
I love how the top part of the symbol on the cheiftain mask goes from freind/attachment while the scav wears it to violence when Arti puts it on.
Glad that it was noticed! 💟
It turns from companionship|survival to violence|survival
UA-cam has failed miserably, it took this long for it to recommend me this...
Although I was slightly put off by the style of the slugcats at first, I quickly came to really like it. I noticed how the beginning shows the pup bringing Artificer a pearl, and then Artificer embraces them, taking joy in their child's kindness. Which would explain why the pup, after seeing the pearls again at the scavenger toll, went to collect one. It wasn't just simple curiosity, it was to make their mother happy. Then the mirroring transitions, they are seriously so good! The detailing, the facial expressions, the accuracy to what is seen in game. This is underrated, much, much too underrated. I applaud you, this is my favorite Artificer animation.
Noticed this after I watched it again, is 0:35 Artificer visiting an echo? Those orange particles remind me of the echo particles... Also that scene does take place on top of the wall.
Thank you very much for such a thoughtful comment!
For the style, I was aiming to represent them more closely as they are in game - animals with not very humanized facial expression. I had some struggle at the start to really nail down how much cat, slug or weasel/rodent they trully are! Funny little things.
In retrospect I would not have lined the eyes the way I did (with the black hashes) as it does look akward with the white color of artificer's eyes, but it is what it is~ I am still very happy with the look of it all :)
You right there got the scene right! It is a complete headcanon of mine that I've put in with the more canonical scenes - it gives a little bit more explanation why the blue pup went out of it's way to get the pink pearl later, even if it isnt canon, I honestly assume that was not the first time they collected shiny things.
About 0:35 's scene: Death of the author, I like your theory on it :)
My original intent was a sync with the song. "The Ashes fall slowly as your voice consoles me", I went with the feelings of it. Artificer after a battle, no more noises, only the calm silence of a battle won. It transitions to light as the scene changes to the past with the pups - perhaps she is remembering this past? The voice that consoles Artificer could be violence, or silence, or even her pups.
It is quite interessting to interpret the ambers as echo particles, and the fade in to light as a rollback to the past (what the echoes basically do to you in-game). I think both works! And maybe I was inspired by the echos serenity while doing the scene :)
The scene takess place on Metropolis actually, although the scenery is basically the same. The only context that proves it is that the previous shot (Arty leaving a shelter) is the first shelter you meet in metropolis. Right outside this shelter there is this trench-warfare area that I've spend a lot of cycles attacking scavengers in, and in general it looks like the Wall's top despite being inside the city.
Maybe she visited the Echo on Atop The Tallest Tower~
@@wolfycatt I kind of forgot how similar those parts looked, I'm just so used to going through the Wall that I immediately thought of it instead of the Metropolis section. That beginning scene really makes it a whole lot more powerful emotionally. Good intentions that result in astronomical consequences...
That shot with that symbol in her eye (the symbol of violence). Just... solid gold.
Hell yeah! Looks amazing, and the song choice is really fitting! Super happy to see you got to get it done!
I had tears in my eyes thorough the video. The tragedy, sorrow of the loss and neverending cycle of violence without the ability to come back to normal. That's what I felt in Artificer's campaign - mixed up feelings of sorrow and anger. It's all here at once.
Adding Five Pebbles who gives a task for Artificer that leads him to the bloodthirsty ending is a very, very precise touch in the end. They both have something... unfortunate in them.
That's what I needed.
Thank you.
I feel like Pebbles and Arti reflect and oppose eachother.
Arti is tied to her cycles by violence, whilst Pebbles' only goal is to cut the strings to his own existence, but they can both resonate.
45 likes, huhh-- this video is literally one of the best Rain World AMV of those that I've seen yet, seriously!
like-- the style, the backgrounds, the music, composition, storytelling, movements... ??? how is this so underrated?? absolutely loved it!
wouldn't you mind if I put this AMV in my Rain World animation playlist?
Thank you
I understand why people love srtificer but... I still love scavs as well. -w- and you, you creator, did amazing job at drawing both! Thank you for this wonderful peice
Thank you! Scavengers are still my favourite creature in the game, I try to befriend them when I can just because they are so goofy to observe lol
scavs are funny
Scavies ❤
how can you like scavs ? I HATE THEM !!
@@stevenex5547 funny monke
Explosive abilities, an unquenchable rage and a dangerous world. Compulsive actions, An anger where you are refused time to think. Artificer's campaign is a lesson and a power trip in one.
0:25 that explosive spear went into the backrooms after artificer threw that bomb
The only thing they fear is ↊...
Rip and Tear until it is Done!
I. LOVE THIS. Your artstyle is amazing, and the smoothness of the Tweening, the poses, THE COLORS!
i really do like the storyline of the whole thing. i also imagine the second pup fell off the cliff into a river and drowned, which is why arti is afraid of water.
No ingles , no le tiene miedo al agua cuando se mete al agua explota por eso no se metió a salvar asu hijo
omg i love this and ur artstyle!! super ironic actually, i’m working on an artificer pmv right now to sweater weather x after dark via the rainworld prompts! great minds think alike lol
Oh yeah! i considered using that mashup, but stuck to the original :> Hope you can finish yours! I'd say take your time, don't do it like me who spent the last two weeks doing only this lol
@@wolfycatt thank you!! im actually almost done with mine lol, but two weeks is pretty solid dedication wow
@@abee1409 "Either i do this for Artificer day or never" was roughly my mindset
Oh hey I'm doing an arti amv too
@@Phone-eater Keep at it! I love seeing fanarts and animations for Rainworld
Nice detail with the Scavenger Chief's Rain Deer skull. In the moment where Artificer kills them the marking on the forehead is higher than Artificers (It's still the 3rd tier, so the Chief is bad too, but didn't commit *as much* genocide), but when Artificer puts it on it's the lowest type, showing that Artificer is a villain for all the genocide she committed. Still think the Chief got what he deserved though.
She deserves more better, this is why the artificer is my favorite, along with the saint.
this is so underrated what??????
artificer is one of my absolute favourites and this is just amazing- the art, the storytelling, everything!!!
1:01 AAAUUGGHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
If it helps! Before I painted this frame black, the spear actually only bruised the child. I maaaay have made it worse by wanting to add impact, woooops
(Also hello! Your Karma animation is a big inspiration for this one, love it!)
Love this so much, I want to make a D&D campaign with this concept.
oh. my. GOD this is so beautiful, the way you illustrated her slugpups deaths is so sad and her fall through the karma levels is absolutely chilling-incredible job omg I love it
noooo! why is the animation so damn good?! the scugs actually look like real world creatures 😭 i feel so bd for arti now wahhh
WJPDOJF THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!! Poor Artificer omg... The art is beautiful and it told the story so well!! Istg I screamed when the first sluggopup was stabbed it caught me so off guard despite knowing what was Abt to go down 😭 oh em gee..... This is so good I love it sm
So yeah, the buddhist philosophy of Rain World'ss core story is really just going to slap Artificer around for absolutely embracing rage and hate - but also:
What the fuck, scavs? You're not that dumb, that was a CHILD.
"You wouldn't shoot this child, right Scavenger?"
"YEAH IN THE FACE WHY?"
@@wolfycatt that was horrible!
YOURE HORRIBLE
YOURE AN IRREDEEMABLE MONSTER!
“Woah woah what took you so long, I d i o t?”
YOO I LOVE YOUR ART STYLE!!! The art is beautiful and it’s of my favorite slugcat!!! This is definitely one of my favorite Rain World animations
beautiful and depressing...
just what i came to the Rainworld community for :D
im not sure why but this hits different in a way i didnt expect it actually made me tear up irl but anyway great animation
MORE ARTIFICER ANIMATIONS LETS GOO
Why has it took this long for this to get recommended cause this is the best AMV of Artificer ive seen 😭
You did so well on this!
Man I'm gonna cry what the heck.
Also this is amazing animation.
This is amazing!!!! It’s really powerful. The way the story is told through the Artificer walking through the same place where it all went down was amazing! The art and animation was beautiful, too! Keep it up!!❤❤
Well done with this video. Hit's the heart with her backstory.
That made the story so compelling oml
the feels man, the feels ;-;
also, how to stop killing scavs on every run now?
Why did you have to make the slugpups so cute? It’s makes the great animation hurt even more
your art style is so raw and beautiful!! the way you draw the facial expressions are wonderful and it's really cool to see how you interpreted the tenderness and the love that the artificer showed to her slugpups😭💕💕
what the hell, why does this only have 1k views??? This is amazing!
YOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The art! The super smooth, well timed, and consistent animation!! The posing and perspectives!! The storytelling!! EVERYTHING IS GORGEOUS 😭💖💕!! Love these animations made for Art Month, lovely lovely work well done!! Top notch rainworld animation, seriously underrated and utterly beautiful 👀💖💕!! Subscribing :)💫✨
ALSO oops forgot to mention (youtube glitches for me and I can’t edit comments :/) the extended version with the chorus caught me offguard in a thrilling way! The song hits hard and eeeeeee ooo I like that addition of a lengthened chrorus to fix the climax 👀💫✨
Thank you very much
@@wolfycatt
My pleasure ❤💖!! You told it super well already, great work :D!
How did I not see this sooner?!?! This is so good!
like i understand that scavs wouldn’t allow any one to steal but its a child id say surround them make a hand gesture to pay it back if given back let them leave
Did you know the upside down 2 karma means violence that’s why artificer is locked a level 1 karma LORE baby!
Oh my goshhhh! This is simply gorgeous!!! I adore your art style .))))
Gave me shivers for some reason
Você conseguiu fazer os sentimentos do artificier atravessar através das telas, esse foi o melhor AMV que eu já vi!
Obrigada!
Girlboss energy
WOW, this is amazing! I love your art style!
There's so much emotion put into this that it's hard to watch, but yet I can't stop watching it... it's too beautiful.
Man, the rest of the animation was great, but the karma gauge ticking down in the background to the violence karma in her eye really went hard
chiillllssssss
artificer has so many music videos done on her but this is the first time I see one where the music isn't loud or angry , just melancholy , I think it might be even a better take on her story
Just now getting into Rainworld and this is a very unique way of drawing Slugcats, but I love it! The art is so beautiful and the scenes each look like a painting that you'd want as a background to your PC or to hang up haha. I am only sad I am a little late to all the RW hype!
Oooooooo, perfect timing, good job lining it up to the beat! That was so cooL!
holy shit the rivulet makes so much sense now too... a master piece but just youtube being youtube
I love five pebbles incredily annoyed, yet super cartoonish and silly expression that he shows
Now I want to play for Artificer
poor artificer ( great animation by the way :D )
I really love how strong the communities form around fantastic indie games are.
It brings me just as much joy hopping on to the internet to see fan art like this as the games themselves.
I'm super grateful for all the fanart and fan creations, because that's how I got into the game lol😊
Holy bajeesus your artstyle is amazing
I smell a horribly underrated animator {1 of my fav AMVs :>} i wish i could do digital art but i do traditional more by 100x
OML the details in this are amazing! I love how you made them look fluffy
This is really good! I can't describe how much it could have tooken so much time and the way it looks. It's a masterpiece and I really mean it.
Bro,this is the best animation of rain wold i have seen , you are the best
I just cried randomly-
1:04 It Was At This Moment He Knew...
i saw this in my recommendeds and ignored it
then it showed up again, so this time i watched it. absolutely fucking amazing work, i love your art style and the way you accurately depict each creature, as well as the dramatic moments!
this is gorgeous i love this so much
This makes me cry every time I see it but I always have to watch it whenever it pops up in my recommended
you have just earned another subscriber
GLORIOUS
SO PRETTY!
"DON'T TOUCH OUR BALLS" *kills kid*
Artificer:
You made me wanting to buy downpour just to play as artificer! Amazing video :D
Do it! I definitely reccomend artificer. She's a funky explosive girl. Scavs are a bit hard to beat for someone like me who avoided conflicts tho
oh my god that was perfect
This was really awesome!
по рейн ворлду так мола качественного контента, а это самое красивое AMV, чтоя видела!
This is so good!!!
Ahhh!!!!!!!! i loved this keep up the work king!
This is actually a really good animation! Keep the good work!
oh man, this was overall incredibly animated. good job!
How am i filled with both sadness and rage at the same time. This video is beautiful really
It’s amazing to see all this stuff popping up on my recommended now. After Downpour’s release I’ve been seeing more and more of these. I’m not sure if it’s because they didn’t exist or if the game wasn’t popular enough to get attention from the algorithm, but regardless of the reason it is very cool to see this kind of talent in our community! Amazing job!
This goes hard. I love the messy rendering combined with the equally messy hatching in some frames. Good stuff!
How to write a good female protagonist
Make her actions speak louder than her words
Arti looks like she's gonna fight 5p
I will never recover from seeing the pups die in Arti's nightmares. I did the revenge path first, but after feeling discontent with leaving her story on such a sour note, I chose to let go and ascended in the voir sea, and it was very, very bittersweet. Would recommend anyone to go through the hell of doing it.
(SPOILERS for Arti Ascension)
What makes it even worse is that Arti after she does get to go and see her kids one last time, what happens at the end isn't that she ascends or becomes an echo, no, she instead dies a true death. She didn't have a big enough ego required for becoming an echo, and she didn't have enough karma to ascend, and void fluid is the only thing that can actually destroy. So what we see happening to her throughout is her body being destroyed by the void fluid, until the very end where she is completely gone, body AND soul, freed from the cycle after giving her pups one last embrace.
@@ChrisWritesThings fuck, I am not sure if that theory makes the good ending worse or better. But everything about Arti's story is infinitely sad.
Slugpups so cute 😢
My mention at 1:16 was very thoughtful of you
you really nailed the color palette.
this video is a banger bestie pop off
bestieee ily
I got shivers, oh wow! Keep it up :D
OMG THIS IS SO GOOD
I LOVE THIS
Fluffy slugs :O
When it showed the pearl reflecting in the pup's eyes I winced :( I want to squeeze artificer (hug) but she would probably throw a bomb at me so idk, but ok let me get to the point WHAT THE THIS ART IS GORGEOUS???? I WILL _EAT YOUR ARTSTYLE._ You, sir or madam, win a gold star
Now let me cry over Artificer's story in peace
I will never accept them as anything but fluffy~
@@wolfycatt neither will I
@@wolfycatt Honestly i think most of them has fur that sticks to their skin, making it very hard to see the fur. The reason i think it sticks is because they have SLUG in their name, and the liquid/whatever that thing is that slugs have is kinda sticky.
@@mishagaming1075 Answered something similar on another comment! Personally I think they have very short, otter-like fur - smooth, following the flow of the body and oily. But I prefer to draw them with fur, it simply looks better in my style :) And I was not aiming for complete accuracy with the game; More so wanted to re-tell the story of Artificer' dreams in a easier format to follow!
@@wolfycatt I personally think their fur is similar to seal fur
