I decided to make my first warriors OCs a few months ago for kicks and giggles and now I’m INVESTED
I’ve been working on this one for a while now! I made the rough version of this video a few months ago, and decided I wanted to try and polish it up a bit. Then, polishing it up turned into... this, I guess! If you notice points where the style of the lineart or designs of the characters shift a bit... those are the points where I picked the project back up again, haha!
Characters are as follows:
Hawkpaw (white w/ black spots)
Puddlepaw (fluffy with dark face/paws/tail)
Whitepaw (white streak on nose)
Mudpaw (“Johnny” aka the one with the black stripes)
Unnamed mentor (half n’ half w/ white)
So the basic storyline here starts with a group of apprentices: Hawkpaw, Puddlepaw, and Whitepaw. Once, when out hunting (i.e. playing), they happen upon a tree that smells of rot. When they decide to dig up whatever has died there, they happen upon a... stash of mutilated birds? They are appropriately confused.
At the same time, we see flashes of the recent past. Mudpaw’s mentor is kiiind of a (massive) jerk, and takes out a lot of aggression on him. As a result, Mudpaw ends up feeling powerless in his situation, and takes out his aggression out on the prey he catches. When that aggression gets to be too much, and the kill is not enough, he mutilates his catches, and then buried the evidence. His clan doesn’t realize just how much hate and resentment he’s bottling up, and this bottled aggression and resentment drives a rift between himself and his clanmates.
EDIT: as they are no longer indicative of the story's direction, I removed the following sentences from the story summary!
[ If left unchecked, he might move on to bigger prey...
Anyway what I’m saying here is that there’s a growing potential serial killer in their clan and no one realizes it. ] - Фільми й анімація
Before it was revealed that there was actually prey under the dirt beneath the tree,, I thought mudpaw's body would just be laying there like 😃🖐️ KAKSK
zagii glad I'm not the only one who thought that lol
OK YEAH ME TOO
Same XD I was so worried. Like nooooo Mud paw don’t die aaaaah
LOL SAME
SAMEEE
Omg I thought they were going to dig up his body, I'm so happy im wrong
Honestly, me too
Same
They might be dig up a body soon if nobody gets Johnny some therapy
Same
Lol same-
Plot twist: the crow was just trying to inform them about Johnny
Honestly, watching this after watching your fantastic creation "The Garden", I felt such a unique sense of impending horror not knowing for sure what those apprentices were going to dig up. Your ability to build up suspense without any dialogue is incredibly impressive to me. This is incredible!
Also, knowing more of Mudpaw's story and what goes on to happen with him... the fact that he stores the birds in the same place where he tried to hide from his abuse is just phenomenal storytelling. Phenomenal.
Finally a potential serial killer cat! I've wanted someone to do this for so long lol
My very first OC villain is a serial killer, i have had them for a long time
@@Bee8467 They're talking about potential serial killer OCs, cats that have the potential for murder but have not killed anyone yet. Most people have an actual serial killer OC and it wouldn't make sense for them to be talking about a regular serial killer cat.
not even halfway through and i love all of your characters.
I’m so glad you like them! Coming up with their designs and personalities was a whole lot of fun :)
1:57 i'm so happy that you cut out the "red as an indian skin" a lot of people wouldn't do that nowadays
man i love the story of mudpaw and his silent resentment towards his mentor and how he takes out all his anger on the prey he catches, its so intriguing
This is beautiful!!! The ending of that last shot gave me chills. I love the lighting especially, and I would love to see what happens with Mudpaw in the future. A serial killer type of storyline for wc is so dark but so interesting.
Thanks!! In my initial version, the last scene was just a few still frames, and I figured it didn’t have enough oomph. So I’m glad that this one works well! I’m hoping to be able to expand on the characters and story in the future, if I get the time haha
Instant goose bumps at that death glare from "Johny" your art style is so gorgeous not to mention your back grounds! Your art is stunning!!
Thank you so much!!! I always have trouble with backgrounds so I’m glad they came out ok here :)
I love American Murder Song, its neat to see someone use their music for an animatic! Especially one so well done!
The art, proportions, skill, story, sheer beauty and heart felt work makes this my favorite PMV of all time, keep up the glorious work!
Oh my goodness thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoyed!!
This is just delightful! The song choice, the art, the pacing is so fun to watch!
I loved how the apprentices took a few lines to start digging (and the gloomy story showed in between!) It builds up and while there's no lines I can nearly hear them playing and joking around from their expressions! This is so nice
Aaaah!! Thank you for taking the time to tell me your kind thoughts, I'm gonna cry 😭 I'm so glad that the three's attitudes came through without any speaking lines, I wanted to really portray them as a tight, fun group to contrast with Mudpaw's ostracized position. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!
@@RileyG You're so welcome!
This is absolutely terrible
that you only have 627 subs. I can’t believe what I just watched, its so amazing that I broke the replay button. It would be cool if you made a sequel to this ngl.
When you say potential, do you mean “he’s definitely gonna do it” or “I’m actually on the fence”?
Great question! I’m feeling like I’m on the fence right now, but definitely leaning toward it
What if you did a little of both? He kills someone, fells horrible for it, then spirals downward until someone finally notices what’s going on and stands up for him or something. Maybe they try to hide the evidence of the kill but the clan finds out later and gets pissed
@@aris1869 this is such a good idea!! I’ve been ruminating on it and I think I’ve got a solid plan, but this is actually sort of similar to what I’ve been thinking 👀
@@RileyG can’t wait to see what you have planned! Just out of curiosity have you any ideas about the name of mudpaw’s mentor?
@@callie3728 I haven’t fully committed to a name just yet, most of the names I come up with just don’t seem to fit him 😅
I have to say, I greatly appreciate u changing the lyrics “Feathers as red as an Indians skin” to “Feathers as red and eyes and skin” or something. Make some happy that even tho it’s a small PMV, ur still respectful, and unwilling to use that terminology and relation.
Edit : Ok y’all, I commented this like a year ago. I did *not* mean it to become a debate topic of controversy. A: apologies for anything I made have gotten incorrect/inaccurate about my explanation below about this comment. B: thank you to the actual Native’s who were kind enough to make clarifications. C: can we just drop this now? Unless you’re genuinely interested in the topic. This is a comment on a video about cat murder. Just appreciate the art.
Can you explain to me how using the word “Indian” is offensive? Is Indian a slur now?
@@humanbeeing4780 “Indian” is a term that Europeans used to call the First Nations people of the new world back during The Age of Exploration, and the colonization of The North and South Americas. But that’s not what they actually are. They gave the Aboriginal Peoples English names, treated them like savages, and all around, for the most part, just didn’t respect their way of life. Even when Europeans realized they were not IN India, they still continued to refer to the people living here as “Indians,” which was a direct and implicit disregard and disrespect to the actuality that was the First Nations. Many atrocities and attempts to assimilate First Nations have occurred since then. The term Indians is now recognized as offensive and improper by the Canadian government (and other governments too, I think, but I only know about the Canadian one). Of course, some First Nations people will take more offence to it than others, and some even consider that to be a classification of what they are. But, in general, it’s not a word to just throw around because it is pretty much a direct reference to all the shit Aboriginal people had to deal with from the Europeans.
@@Shsy7573Uh, okay. That doesn’t explain why nobody should be allowed to say Indian anymore….
@@Shsy7573Also not everyone lives in Canada
@@humanbeeing4780 How’s this for an explanation: Native American/First Nation People are not “Indians”. The person in the song is referring to Native Americans as “Indians”
I don’t comment on videos much (although I’m trying to more) but I keep coming back to this video, I really love it that much. Your art style is so appealing to look at, especially how you do your line art, and I love your character designs! And of course the prospect of a serial killer in the clans is fascinating, and I love how you dove into the psychology of a potential serial killer with Mudpaw’s abuse at the hands (paws?) of his mentor, isolation from the other apprentices, and mutilation of crows. I also like how you characterized the other three apprentices. They come off as a tight nit clique of sorts that, while not outright mean to Mudpaw (that I know of), certainly don’t pay enough attention to realize what’s going on with him. Another thing that sticks out to me is the organization of the scenes, how it flips back and forth leaving you in suspense of what the three apprentices will find buried beneath the tree. I’d love to see more about this character in the future!
P.S. Thanks for introducing me to this song. It’s been caught in my head for the past two days!
AAAHHH ok your comment has made my day!! thank you so much for your compliments!!
Your observations are spot on, especially with the bit about the other apprentices. They don’t mean to be cruel, but they’re just kids! They don’t understand that their clanmate is hurting, they just know that he’s different, and a little strange.
I’m happy to note that I’m planning on making additional videos in this sort of style to explore these characters in depth, but unfortunately they probably won’t be done anytime soon 😔 I don’t have very much time to devote to these videos these days, but I’m excited to get them done eventually!
Also, I’m glad to introduce you to the song! The reason these characters exist in the first place is because this song just wouldn’t leave my head 😅
God i am in LOVE with this story omg and this animatic is GOLD
this is so good!!! i game here from the "cat yells at sky" video and i love your ocs so much
Thanks!! I'm glad you like them!!
A tutorial on how you do anatomy/proportions(especially those paws, they look amazing) would be pretty cool
If I can find the time I’ll try to do that!
I wonder if having all those crows under the tree means that this isn't the only time he's been attacked.. And if it's still going on
I came here from “emo cat has anger issues” and I gotta say I love your content. What I’ve seen of your characters and story is really cool and I love the way you portray emotion in poses as well as the face and even body language.
Poor Mudpaw, he was terrified.😢
I've gotta thank you for introducing me to both american murder song and the crane wives, as now both of them make up the majority of my most listened songs,,
aside from that! Very eager to follow along with lil mudpaw's story^^
I seriously need more of these characters. I keep watching this every couple hours. It’s just so good!!!!
That grimace form Mudpaw at the very end sends shivers down my spine every time I watch this, love it!
It’s hard to pick a favorite part because the whole thing is gold
LETS GOO YOU KNOW AMERICAN MURDER SONG AND THE CRANE WIVES???? HELL YEAH YOU HAVE TASTE
Their story is so intriguing and sad, but that's the point that makes it so interesting. Oh, and the art is just outstanding and beautiful!! All the poses and movements seem so natural, the expressions so emotional, really this deserves much more appreciation!! =D
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
this is absolutely incredible! fell in love with the characters and story instantly
so glad my recommended threw it at me (also nice w/ editing the song, i love it dearly but oof that one line it has)
Aw thanks!! And yeah that bit is always a big OOF so I figured I would change it as best I could haha
i’m super late to see this but jeez ive been watching your animatic all day!! even now the idea of a potential serial killer in wc is strong, and i’m super hyped to see anything else regarding these characters’ storylines!!
on another note your anatomy and posing is amazing, the entire concept for this project is really well illustrated with the character’s unique designs 🤲
Mento boi: *Beats child* That wont bite me later
Mudpaw: *Bites*
I looove this story! The designs are so nice, the characters are intriguing and the art is beautiful!!
oh right i forget the fact that warriors has clear abuse that the leaders of the clans ignore
Your art is impeccable. You draw the cats in all sorts of dynamic cool poses
Love love this! This is one of my fave songs from one of my fave albums! Glad to see it used in warriors ❤
I just wanna let u know all your warrior cat ocs are so pettable like if i saw any of these kitties on the street i would pet them
this is the nicest thing i've read all day :')
Wooow I love how rich your storytelling is in this! You've done a great job of building on the world provided by the original stories, and created something wholly new with some really interesting characters! This is super dark but I can't wait to see where it goes
After seeing your 'emo cat screams at the sky' and then coming to this (haha out of chronological order), I can't get Zuko's voice out of my head. I swear all I think about when I see Mudpaw is Zuko. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
this is so well done with the simple rendering nd lighting!!! its chilling and spooky and i love how suspenseful it is! you did an amazing job!!
THIS IS SO FREAKING SCARY AND I LOVE IT.
BRO THIS GAVE ME CHILLS.
KEEP THIS UP RILEY. I WANT MOREEEE.
WOAH this is so good?? The detail you put into every scene! And the characters expressions/body language! Amazing. (Also American Murder Song is such a good choice for this, it really fits the animatic)
THIS IS SUCH AN EPIC CONCEPT OH MY GOD
Are you kidding me? That's amazing! It's even a PMV, not just an animatic, tbh. The quality is really good.
AHHH THIS IS GORGEOUS!! You are super duper underrated, and your art is so pretty! I love the story so much and the characters, wow wow wow!!💖
I can’t help but comeback to this every one and a while cuz I swear I love it-
OOH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOD!!!
i absolutely love the concept !!!
GREAT designs, and wow- what a powerful end scene!!!!
I still manage to come back to this everyday!
DUDE YOU ARE UNDERRATED AS HECK THIS IS SO GOOD I LOVE THE GREYSCALE, THE SHADING, EXPRESSIONS, THE DIVERSITY BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS, EVERYTHING IS REALLY GOOD
omg thanks 😭
This is the first time I've ever heard this song, and I absolutely love it! The art is amazing too! I'm totally subbing!! Can't wait to see what content you make next!
Okay, you are underrated af and this story is soooo good, I want more!!
It’s a crime UA-cam didn’t recommend this to me sooner. Brilliant job man, this looks amazing
Your art style, your characters, everything is so on point!! How have I just found this??
I had no clue other people listened to American Murder Song as well
Mudpaw and the Others are like my Characters! This is great! I like how everyone has their own job in the Animation! It's so on track!
THIS IS SO COOL? I LOVE THE STORY SO MUCH AAA???
This video is absolutely beautiful!! I love the characters and your story. Also because of this, I found my new favorite artist ^^
!!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it :D
I'm so happy that got this recommended. You are so underrated. I hope that people will see how talented you are. This work is outstanding
I’m glad you liked it!!
love that American Murder Song is getting content i love them
Why didn't I see this until now?? This is SO GOOD
i love puddlepaw sm
im gonna singlehandedly add 700 views to this, this is amazing!!
I’m glad you like it!!
Yeah. I didn’t realize his mentor was the one who gave him the scar over his eye. I definitely understand “the Garden” much more now. I’m on Mudpaw’s side TBH.
this is incredible ive got chills oh my gooooooood
And a little more about our Jhonny! I love the song you have chosen, it gives off an interesting mood. I am liking Mud'Paw more and more, he is a very interesting character. Your channel inspires me to want to start working more with animation. Who knows one day? But... poor Mud, he has such a disturbed mind! Sometimes I understand a little bit of how he feels. I am loving your story, the way you approach the feelings of the characters (Especially the protagonist) is amazing.
(Sorry for translate errors :P)
This is amazing idk y you dont have more likes bruh ur art is amazing 😻
for an animatic, this is really good!
this is actually an interesting story! keep up the good work :D
THIS IS GREAT I LOVE THIS WOW!!! WELL DONE!!!!
:'3 this is so clear made that there's nothing I can theorise about
This is so good! You must've put so much effort into it, I love your style
Thank you!! It took a long time, but mostly because I kept dropping the project after every section I finished haha
im obsessed with this omg
Holy cow, this so amazing!!!
I’m glad you liked it!!
How are you so talented and so underrated!!!??? You have gained a new sub.
UH?? THIS IS AMAZING
Wait a flippin minute. How the heck do you have only 617 subs! That is absolutely unacceptable, you need 3M! I’m smashing that sub button and destroying the like button.
Awe thanks :’)
Dammit. Why did you have to draw the birds so goddamn cute?
Don’t take this the wrong way.
But it’s a serious injustice that this the only animatic for AMS
Yeah they’re songs are really great!! Would love to see other animatics for their stuff
Riley G there just BEGGING for animatics
If there is ever a part 2 to this, I would watch it in an instant.
I have good news for you (if you haven’t seen it yet)
Not gonna lie, when I saw the title the first thing I thought was "Johnny, Johnny? Yes Papa?"
CURSED
this is so cool!!
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!!
Hey guys, this animatic is amazing and I LOVE the plot... but this video has more likes than the actual song! Go show The American Murder Song - Topic some love :) Their song Johnny is great.
Seconded! The band has tons of great songs!
I come back to this every now and then and all your animatics/story are still as awesome as the first time
If it's okie to ask, what did Wrentail say about Mudpaw's injury that scarred after it happened? Did he lie to the clan or just say it was an accident? You don't have to answer, I've just been curious for a while lol
aaa thanks!!
and he basically explained it away as a training accident, and mudpaw didn’t feel like the clan would care if he told the truth :(
So when I was watching that I noticed the un named mentor didn't have pupils. Or he did I don't know.
But I like the no pupils because it shows something. I don't know what but it shows
You are so underrated omg
Fantastic
Yay finished version
Yes it’s finally done!!
i was just thinkin of this song and this shows up as soon as i open youtube
honestly the three of them seem to leave the other out in the end, it so sad to see that he was actually alone. suffering in silence by his mentors abuse, no wonder he becomes a killer T^T
OMG THANKS FOR THE HEART!~ YOUR ART IS BEAUTIFUL!
Ideas for the mentor's name:
Coal' berry
Gull' song
finch' cry
Crow' hatch
Tinted' water
i didnt understand what just happened but i love it
my brain is dead today🥲👍
your art and style is absolutely breathtaking!! i especially love how gorgeous your backgrounds are in every shot :0 what programs do you use to make your videos? can’t wait to see more of your oc’s stories ^^
Aaa thank you!! I use the app Procreate for drawing, and iMovie to edit :)
1:17 the bit where they realised their claws were unsheathed is just 😘
Hey, how's the story going? I found this a few days ago and haven't stop watching it since. Also, out of curiosity, is Puddlepaw a ragdoll?
Story is ongoing! I’ve got a couple animatics in the works that will expand on the story and world, but unfortunately its slow going, cause Life Is Happening 😅 and I didn’t have ragdolls in mind when drawing puddlepaw, but I can see it now that you pointed it out!! Their design was inspired by the Balinese breed :)
@@RileyG Interesting, thanks for the reply c:
Poor Mud Paw
Hey mind if I take some notes from your story to possibly spice up my own oc?
Your probably g not going to see this but I don’t want to take ideas from other people without asking
@@mikegil1891 I don’t mind! As long as it’s not outright copying, haha. If you’re looking for story or character ideas, I’ve found looking at the TV tropes website to be a great resource!
Thanks and that’s a good idea I’ll check that stuff out.
Yes papa-
The poor little Raven 😪
Where is my Johnny
My brain went=stranger things tree!
