[@MinoesTrashRat]

xJaystarzx Are you working on Aaron Burr sir? :D Im really excited for thelastpart to come out :F

[@obscurideer]

XxLunaWarriorxX this comment is super confusing to me for some reason since she just did the 5 giants part??

[@Fearless_Kat]

considering what time this was uploaded, she's probably unconscious. quick, lets wake her up with our comments! Incredibly well done, Jay! Keep going!!!

[@xJaystarzx]

Koolkat nOPE I was up a few hours later for work bc im a responsible adult help me thanks dude!!

[@Fearless_Kat]

Well then, I feel for you. Honestly though, its not worth burning yourself out for. Is it?

[@papajoolia]

mmmmjjjayyy this is so cool!!! i love the camera angle when he jumps so nice so good and look at those colors

[@Blazewhisker]

This is truly spectacular and the whole atmosphere is incredible.

[@WulfWhistle]

Is it bad that I felt bad for the rat leader during this scene? I love how expressive your characters are, not just in the face, and the backgrounds in this are so beautiful. 0m0

[@Dollbites]

Jay this is absolutely stunning,, the slowmo jump is so cool aaa,, I love your style so much.. seeing ur animations gives me life and honestly inspires me so much

[@rainechiime]

THIS IS TO BEAUTIFUL FOR MY MI- *Mind explosion*

[@Pinegully1]

I love the smell of improvement in the morning.

[@nath.an.b]

yO WTF THIS LOOKS SO GOOD WhaT?!? The jump at the end is honestly outstanding and the movement is so smooth! AWESOME job, jay!

[@bubblecat4168]

JAY THIS ACTUALLY MADE ME EMOTIONAL LIKE THE EXPRESSIONS AT THE START JUST HURT MY HEART BUT HECK THIS IS TOO GOOD AA!!!!!

[@TheDuskRipper]

Really nice work. It looks so super smooth and firestar's leap at the rats is amazing.

[@stephaniewilber3253]

I screamed when I saw this! Then when I watched it I screamed louder! THIS IS AMAZING I LOVE IT TO BITS

[@alphaareus]

0:06 The rats: Oh ship...

[@TangleClaw]

JAYYYYY OH MY GOD this came out so amazing jfnkjfsh THE ANGLES, THE MOVEMENTS, THE BACKGROUNDS??? Amazing job, dude!!!

[@xJaystarzx]

TangleClaw AJSKAD THANKS JESS

[@softiee__]

The amount you've improved is amazing! Great job!

[@ravensixxle]

I love how you drew Rainfur. I don’t see such expressions in other animations. And CherryFall in the background, her expression compared to the book is perfect.

[@isabellaruscio409]

You did really good on this!! (⬇ Spoiler if you haven't read Firestar's Quest ⬇) And it was so sad to me when Rainfur died cuz I really liked him and his relationship with petalnose and mintkit and sagekit. There were a couple of parts in firstars quest that made me sad too, like skywatchers death.

[@MagnesiumSwan]

holy crap i've only recently re-discovered your channel and i remember your old style and wowee you've improved so much! this is incredible! i'm so amazed, keep up the amazing work!

[@gazeunafraidd]

This is flawless!!! It's so smooth and it's so amazing!!! I always loved your work, and I'll love it even longer!

[@cassius9975]

oh yea jay that's some nice and smooth jazzy animation you got there. my goodness you've improved so much and you still keep doing it!

[@WhiskerMoon]

sobs

[@sapphara81]

This is BEYOND outstanding!! This is probably one of the best mornings ever and I just woke up!!

[@CookiesNCrime]

Holy- Jay this is goals! Ahh, I love your animations so much!! STUNNING job as always, keep it up!

[@smileykat2143]

I love the motion, and expressions on your characters. It's also very smooth!

[@BumbleTus]

40K!!!!! AMAZE. PLUS THIS PART IS SO GOOD? I love the movement and that dramatic shot at the end! You conveyed the scene really well! But we're all still waiting on your 5G part Jay where is it

[@febefox5930]

I love how smooth everything is! It's so gorgeous...

[@dyssleksic6105]

[@indigoogirl2249]

OMFG jay this is beautiful~

[@Solstrike06]

I love the beginning with Rainfur! The angles inside the barn are perfect for the motion. I'm glad I just finally read Firestar's Quest last month lol, it was really good :P

[@xJaystarzx]

ahh thank you so much! :D oh man i read the book like 10 times as a kid, it was my favorite super edition at the time! ouo

[@Solstrike06]

Haha yeah I was late to the party! I read the first book and a half in 6th grade and then didn't read any more till like 10 years later when I was in college lol :P I think watching your GreyXSilver MAP actually inspired me to pick up the series again

[@xJaystarzx]

yOOOO it makes me super happy when I hear people say that one of my MAPs encouraged them to join the warriors fandom again, it's super sweet! ;u; I'm glad you could enjoy them again! >:3c

[@Solstrike06]

Awesome :) :) Yeah I remember looking back in like 2007 on youtube and there were the SSS warrior cats anim series, I was like "that's cool," then I randomly searched for it again in 2015 and was like "... where did all these amazing warriors animations come from??" Yay lol

[@xJaystarzx]

Solstrike06 haha yeah the community has become suuuper huge in the last 2 years, it's really incredible! a lot more competitive nowadays too, but I see that as a good thing since we're all striving to improve O:

[@Nightfeather]

I HAVE REAL TEARS IN MY EYES JAYYY YOUR ANGLES AND SHOTS AND EVERYTHING AND I DONT EVEN KNW WHAT TO SAY YOU'VE COME SO FAR SINCE I FIRST DISCOVERED UR STUFF IM GETTING SO EMOTIONAL LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY HN GHNNGnmsGMN

[@skianimations8496]

Nightfeather o.o -walks away slowly-

[@xJaystarzx]

Nightfeather I'M CRYING THANK YOU SM NIGHT???!!!

[@kittychat101]

The background! :0 THE BACKGROUND IS SO GREAT!!

[@Lionstar123]

Beautiful, as always. I would never have the patience to animate. If a drawing takes me more than three days I think that's a long time, cant imagine how much time animation consumes.

[@missoli]

GEEEEEEEZ the movement is so sMOOOOTH

[@theorichards9463]

Wow Jay! This looks fantastic!

[@Littlemothintheflesh]

i watched the first 15 seconds like twice and i started crying ;w; it's so beautiful!

*I'm so angry because I'm refusing to watch any more parts for this MAP until it's done but the thumbnail already looks amazing so I'm so tempted to watch this but I can't omg*

[@DIRT6IRL]

[@flori9060]

Hello! May I use your artwork for an "animator tribute" please? I'll add watermark and the link to your channel in the desc. of the video

[@xJaystarzx]

[@animating_cat7752]

[@Zeruk]

[@mishapersarin8972]

And there goes one of my favorite character..Again...

[@Cattasterfee]

Hey, how did you get your style? It's awesome and so beautiful!

[@RootedandtheWingedBook]

Ah, amazing work as always! I hate to be that person, but can I ask what song you played with the timelapse?

[@Paradoodley]

1. Slow the video down to .25% 2. Watch when Firestar yells something 3. WIFI!!

[@midnightMorpha]

[@greencolour2942]

hey jay hows the ROXXAAAAANNNE PART doing and greats jobs on this your the best like you always where

[@LumosVeil]

Still think it's kinda rubbish that rats could destroy a WHOLE clan of cats. Cats. CATS. Like seriously, we know they're a bit bigger but strong enough to kill cats? Imma have to call BC on this.

[@lilith8407]

OMG so beautiful ;D

[@finchbird2419]

what music did you use for the time lapse?

[@Dreamanimatesx]

yesssssss this is sooo goood :')

[@lenka4487]

AYE This is aMaZInG But i have 1 question lol How did you get from Adobe Flash, to Photoshop? Can you like open Flash files in photoshop? :O

[@xJaystarzx]

Niki J I exported all the frames in flash and then put them into a single file in photoshop! you can put flash files in photoshop, but you can put videos into photoshop!

[@lenka4487]

xJaystarzx Woah that's a lot of exporting xD Thanks though! This helps a bunch!

[@xWinterFrost]

when it repeats it sounds just like the real song well kinda

[@skianimations8496]

you make good Animations

[@boxfish863]

Was this from Firestar's quest?

[@nycureamy]

Box Fish yes

[@Shrimp5181]

what scene is this? :O

[@ech9817]

How did you do this? I mean... any of this? No mater what I try, animating ends up being nothing but frustrating. I'm just not good at it. You make it look so easy here. I really need to know how you did all of what you did because I'm stuck with a black and white, sketchy, and unfinished mess every time I sit down to attempt animation. I need help. I know you probably won't even see this. I know that requests are annoying as all hell and are really arrogant looking on the writer's part. I know that what I'm asking right now really is a request and I feel like kicking myself for that. I just need help. I never know what I'm doing when I animate and I always end up with a piece of garbage that makes me want to never pick up a stylus again. I'm not going to bother you if you don't want to do it, it's perfectly understandable that you wouldn't. Just know that I'm sorry for the inconvenience, okay? Thank you for reading this.

[@xJaystarzx]

Claire S Every animation I put out is the front of 5 years of incredibly hard work! I have almost all my videos public from when I first started animating on my channel, and you can see how bad i was back then! Animation is literally just practice, asking for feedback from those better than you, and frustration. I animate and draw nearly every single day for several hours, and as a result of that, I'm where I am now! Try picking up the book The Animators Survival Kit and read it through! Some of the most valuable things about animation that I've learned is from books and reading advice from artists better than I, you can get there if you keep at it, I promise!! Art isn't about being the best, it's about your own progress and the work you did to get to where you are now!

[@ech9817]

xJaystarzx Thank you so, so much. I really, really appreciate it. I'll try to get that book and I'll try to draw more. Thank you so much for the advice.

[@xJaystarzx]

Claire S Good luck! :D

[@ech9817]

xJaystarzx Thank you

[@incelcat5220]

Hi! This is probrably going to be buried within the comments but I know you use Adobe Animate. When I make an animation on there its on time with the audio. When I export it as a video its a little quicker than before. Its off the actual timing of the audio. I was wondering how that is? Did you ever have the same problem? Do I have to save it as something else?

[@BrianHall33]

Ok now how many parts are left after this?

[@xJaystarzx]

Brian Hall 6!

[@BrianHall33]

***** that's great to hear! I've been waiting on this for a while :)

[@Olivykal]

what background in song ?
