Favorite Crime - leafpool & squirrelflight pmv

[@strawbeetle]

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE THUMBNAIL?? The way Squilf hides under her tail while Leaf protects her 😭 actually sobbing

[@L10_oc]

Ikr!

[@vyrraee]

honestly it would be the opposite, squirrelflight always defended leafpool and stood up for her but that’s just my opinion, thumbnail is still epic

[@ElianaSantana-m8m]

RIGHTTTT UGHH

[@jaelyyymar8071]

I love how this shows they both understand the emotional turmoil they put everyone through, but that they also did it with the best intentions and love for everyone in their lives. I feel like everyone either demonizes them or demonizes every single cat around them without realizing that yes, they hurt the three and Bramble, but they didn’t do it to be deceitful-they did it for each other. I also love how it shows there’s still some hurt there-hurt for Leafpool Squilf gets to raise her kits, and hurt on Squilf’s end she had to make up for Leaf’s own decisions, but that they still loved each other and wouldn’t change a thing. Both their character arcs through the PO3 and OOTS has so many underlying and unaddressed emotions, and out of the hundreds, maybe thousands, of animations about each character, this is the first one I’ve seen that actually manages to display all the different emotions of the sisters, the guilt, the love, the fear, the betrayal, the happiness, and the self doubt.

[@pastadraws8885]

Thank you, so so much!! 😭Seriously comments like this is why I draw!! I’m overjoyed to hear that I could capture all those same thoughts I had while reading the books in the PMV 😭😭

[@malmy19]

the 'just so I could call you mine' over the three is so touching. they really did sacrifice everything for each other and their babies whether those babies liked it or not. thank you for making a pmv that made me feel something for warrior cats again. crazy stuff.

[@warcatfurever101writeroffanfic]

This song fits Leaf and Squilf so much, I can’t believe I didn’t know how much I needed this until now.

[@SillyNep]

That part where it cuts to them as kits made me tear up, this is so beautiful... they're the sisters ever

[@Moonflight00]

This is beautiful! You portray Leafpool and Squirrelflights relationship wonderfully, it made me so sad and happy for them at the same time. They truly were sisters.

[@dinogaming9209]

I like your Jayfeather design with the same half moon pattern as Leafpool’s. After all they are son and mother

[@mataschmata]

been a long time since i cried over warrior cats!! that scene of them dodging and weaving through the falling stars sent me over the edge. it really feels like the sisters were each other's only true friends until the bitter end.

[@OceanGlow-jv8kj]

Squirrelflight and Leafpool are easily the most underrated sibling pair in the entirety of Warrior Cats, and nothing can change my mind. With so much chaos in their life, and kin turning against kin, their relationship was the only one to stay solid. They protected each other and they both made sacrifices to keep the other safe. The fandom tends to focus on the siblings that had the most drama, so seeing Leafpool and Squirrelflight pop up in my recommendations was a nice change of pace. Also, can we just talk about your art style??? Omg, the way you draw these kitties is so delicious, I can't stop rewatching. Black and white is also really hard to draw, and you completely nailed it. You earned yourself a new subscriber!!!

[@lilyminer9164]

Absolutely amazing work! I feel like the community is sleeping on the amazing sisterly bond these two have. And I just know anyone who says Squilf is unforgivable or evil for what she did here doesn’t have sisters. I empathize with Squilfs decision here so much, I would do that for one of my sisters in a heartbeat.

[@spooonkz]

1:39 this shot alone made me tear up holy this is beautiful .

[@wednesrory]

argghh your composition is amazing! im so impressed with the completely grayscale palette and how you use the colors (or lack thereof) to your advantage with lighting and such. Suuuper cool !!!

[@pastadraws8885]

AHH thank you so much!!

[@yay29823]

1:52 THE SYMBOLISM!!! This has to be on purpose! The sisters switching places as they look at the three with love, like they are finally able to be honest with them, even if they hate them for it. Please tell me it was intentional!

[@pastadraws8885]

IT WAS!! THANK YOU FOR NOTICING

[@sleepingcryptid]

I love the sisters, they're both some of my top favorite cats, and I think this displayed their relationship beautifully. Your art style is gorgeous and this was a wonderful idea!!

[@LikeCatsB1]

LeafPool and SquirrelFlight are my favorite sibling duo of all time, out of every fandom, they're my favorite

[@Kiki_the_cat271]

They both are my favorite characters and sisters in warriors bc of their bond and their love and care for each other,how they're willing to be there for each other no matter how hard it is just the best. And I absolutely adore how you did for them with this song that fit them ❤

[@somethingsomething6374]

Came from your Instagram, love your art style! Don't know anything about warrior cats but the animatic has an interesting plot. The whole thing looked great!

[@LunzersLazyDemon]

I recommend reading warrior cats then, its amazing!

[@pastadraws8885]

Thank you so much!! I’m glad you checked it out :D

[@saturnbubblez]

Absolutely stunning, and the grayscale somehow works so elegantly. The pictures are so vivid and detailed even without color!

[@pastadraws8885]

Thank you so much!!

[@Starlitmachine]

Your understanding of composition is breathtaking. Every time I watch this video I find myself pausing to stare, and watch pieces over and over because even in its simplicity its just so. Freaking. Pretty. You did a wonderful job with this.

[@aluumers]

This is absolutely heartbreaking; the portrayal of my two favorites is beautiful and does their characters so much justice! Awesome work, hope to see more in the future! :D

[@gracie9496]

You have done my two favorite kitties so much justice!! Your style converts so much feeling and I love everything about this and the way you convey every cat. And the visceral love between leafpool and squirrelflight is so sad and beautiful ;'( I just adore everything about this, and I cant wait to binge watch all of ur other vids

[@the_funky_wandrr]

THE COMPOSITION??? IN THIS??? the slanted posing (emphasizing a cat’s angular build!), mesmerizing lines of action, rimlighting/outlining the character in focus, and use of value are all wonderfully well thought out!! this pmv flows so well 😭 great work!!

[@catspajamas_pj]

INCREDIBLE and very cinematic framing in every single one of these panels!! Wow I’m blown away by every single one of these, incredible incredible work, so beautiful

[@catspajamas_pj]

Rewatched again and I just Wow So so beautiful FABULOUS gestures and poses, so much movement in completely still frames!! The value work?? How easily you can tell characters apart even without color? The storytelling? I just This is so beautiful, gonna go down in the books as one of my favorite pieces of fan work ever, seriously so incredible. Thank you for creating and sharing it with us!

[@blueberrybagel3325]

Maybe I'm reading too far into it but each time the line 'your favorite crime' plays it shows different scenes and I can't help but take it almost literally in the manner that the 'crimes' were the way they had hurt people- like with Leaf dragging Squilf into this with her (tho Squilf did agree obvi but u get my point) and then showing her trying to protect Squilf at the gathering- and then leaf with starclan, and how they just ROYALLY fucked her over- and then with holly and leaf, how holly nearly killed her mom and obvi terrified leaf, and finally ending with 'cause you were mine' with leaf at the cave-in and you really do get the feeling, just from the drawings alone, that she doesn't regret a thing... ANYWAY this has immediately become one of my FAVORITE wc pmvs-

[@spinnysocks]

i love this so so much i can't even put it into words. they were each other's everything. the three were their everything. you encapsulated the tragedy and more importantly the love so well

[@Cammy_Universe]

Gosh your usage of the color gray AMAZES me🔥

[@CetrouzOfficial]

I love the way you draw cats and how you shape them!! Amazing composition and use of silhouettes and curved lines! 🥺

[@pastadraws8885]

Thank you so so much!!!

[@doodlerage]

Gof I’ve watched this so many times I think this is now one of my favorite pmvs, the composition and the FLARE to each drawing is absolutely otherworldly

[@plutosongs]

I COULD CRY SO HARD RN…. ohhh my stars this is beautiful!! you have such a wonderful grasp of framing and composition, and i loooove how well you use grayscale without confusing things… AND THE GIRLS AUUUGHH. wonderful work!!!

[@ЖеняХаврюченко]

Damn, it reminds me why I loved Warriors so much, gives me the same emotions as the first books and series, love it! Makes me want to write something about Squirrelflight and Leafpool, if only I was able to finish a story or figure it out at least)) Thanks for your work and it's really beautiful ❤

[@HarmlessJesting]

This was beautiful you can see all the emotions laid out so clearly on all the cats faces. I'm very impressed even in gray-scale the whole thing was perfectly well done and well executed.

[@VinMakesStuff]

You are IMPECCABLY talented! I’m shocked how you don’t have more attention- this is so beautiful! Your art is lovely. Keep it up!

[@pastadraws8885]

Thank you so much!!

[@redpelt8464]

oh god, this made me realise leafpool didnt get to see her sister become leader while she was alive. she'll know in starclan but she never got to travel to the moonpool with her, didnt get to call her new name with the clan, see her during the gatherings.

[@pahs.wrldRC_ASE]

Leafpool and squilf sacrificed so so so much for the three. It just breaks my heart that the three didn’t even appreciate Leafpool and were angry at her, I understand they had the right to be angry but still, she sacrificed EVERYTHING for them and no one understood. (spoilers a lil) and in squilfs super edition Leafpool and squilf for challenged by starclan. Like everyone has done way way worse things and the things they did were for the good. How did Ashfur go into starclan after all the things he has done and squilf and leaf get challenged? It’s not fair, leaf and squilf deserve way way way more.

[@HollySoul2612]

I think the greatest torture of my life was seeing how much these sisters suffered.❤️‍🩹

[@froschtee]

I guess were crying our eyes out tonight /pos, THIS IS FREAKING BRILLIANT!! the detail in every frame and the themes and storytelling UGH

[@flutteringflora]

Olivia rodrigo song yess (this is so visually appealing and I love your use of the grayscale)

[@micaiahborchers8914]

i havent thought about warrior cats for years but damn. if this didnt make me feel things. great work, i see effort in every frame

[@SphEditssss]

This is an absolute masterpiece especially just from an art perspective. Every frame is beautiful just by itself ❤

[@CatPandaDragonSisters]

This is so AMAZING! I listen to this song a lot, but never have I come so close to crying. Good Job!

[@thatweirdfangirl15]

Oh this is so beautiful!! Their relationship was so sweet and reminds me of me and my sister. I loved how much they cared for each other. I love this, you're so talented!! ❤

[@cheekypenguu]

oh my godddd this is so good, i almost cried. THE sisters of warrior cats

[@mmurraym_jounreys]

Sometimes I just want to give them a hug

[@shrobsy]

Im so impressed with this, the art works so harmoniously with the song!

[@pastadraws8885]

AHH thank you!! I’m glad I could do the song justice ahwhahah

[@Dewzyjiji]

A lil late lol, but I’m not kidding when I say this is the best pmv ive ever seen. Wow!!

[@hotdog2611]

Your work is so so beautiful and did their story jusifted I am so glad I found this. Your artwork is wonderful

[@philigrane1528]

Your pmv is rich in feelings, the beautifully detailed drawings blend perfectly with the lyrics and we feel the emotions of the characters. It contrasts a lot with the usual popular styles of flashy and colorful pmv, in a good way 😊 I can't stop watching this video !

[@kandosiii]

this is sO GOOOD!! i love the end scene and 0:47 !

[@muddypawss]

oml this artstyle is so pretty and beautiful to look at! it's obvious you know your shape language because it shows! also the backgrounds, the composition, the designs?? this is a work of art that brought me to tears you should be so proud that you made this :]

[@servingcal]

HOLY FUCK I KEPT LISTENING TO THIS THINKING OF BRAMBLECLAW AND SQUILFF AND LEAF AND SQUIRLF OMG OMG OMG OMG THIS IS SPECTACULAR

[@pastadraws8885]

AHWHAHA OMG LIKE ORIGINALLY I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT TOO BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE COOL TO TIE IN CROWF AND LEAF AHAHA

[@servingcal]

@@pastadraws8885 YESSS AND UR ART STYLE IS SOOO ARHGHGHGH I CANT PUT IT INTO WORDS (IN A GOOD WAY) NEW SUB THO 💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@shroomsyblooms]

[@kynia_art]

Woaaa what a unique style! You did a great job with this PMV, your usage of values is outstanding! Nice work! c:

[@kiwiakat]

this is BEAUTIFUL. every single drawing in this is absolutely gorgeous and the composition and background are so EDIBLE 😋 This is incredible and I can’t believe i’m only now finding your channel. This song fits these two so perfectly and your story telling is so well done!!

[@deniseblanco8848]

I didn't know I needed this. UNTIL HAVE THIS.

[@SunsetDragon]

I LOVE YOUR STYLE SO FREAKING MUCH

[@ash-willow]

omg im obsessed with your artstyle wowoow

[@ErinBurton-d6k]

I feel like Leafpool & Squrrielflight’s story doesn’t really make sense to me. Especially when Starclan encouraged Leafpool to leave TC with Crowfeather and then get mad at her for having kits? Like, srsly, make it make sense! She’s not the first medicine cat to have kits or to even the first to fall in love with another cat from a different clan. I just don’t like how they did Leafpool so dirty honestly.

[@xxchesire_catxx8176]

Oh this is DEVASTATING, I love this. /pos

[@dizzy_kurimu]

this is amazing! i love the composition on the last scene

[@coronetspears]

[@Sparkle8205]

[@kwithcat]

Sobbing bc they deserved so much

[@HelloHello0w0]

IM CRYINGGGG

[@Rosadrawss]

OMG OMG OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!!! I REALLY LOVE YOUR STYLE!! new sub :>>>

[@LUNARTEMPEST]

Oh my god this fabulous

[@101Tigerheart]

This is beautiful!

[@icefang1005]

Excellent PMV! I love the depth of every frame - your use of varied greyscale values is gorgeous. As a side note, you may want to consider changing the title from "leafpool/squirrelflight" to "leafpool&squirrelflight" -- the " / " symbol used with names usually means a romantic relationship, which I assume isn't the intent.

[@pastadraws8885]

THANK YOU! (Also thank you for letting me know!)

[@clebsonlobodesouza]

O design está top!! Parabéns!!

[@clebsonlobodesouza]

MUITO LINDO!!❤

Who's the black/dark grey thunderclan cat with the slim tail?

[@clebsonlobodesouza]

Bom trabalho!!!

[@bobagaming977]

woah, this is an amazing video!! If possible.. could I make one similar with this song but with leafpool & crowfeather (with creds of course-) I 100 percent understand if you are not okay with that, love your videos keep up the good work!

[@toca.bronze]

u can,they don’t own the idea of making a pmv with this song. anyone can.

[@constanzaelenaibarracastro3309]

sometimes one or other picture was difficult to understand, maybe a bit of color could highlight the characters over the background, but overall very nice pmv

[@feathertail2001]

OMG THIS WORK IS AWESOME I respect how they helping each other, and also i like palette in this pmv

[@nariaoliveira3407]

This was wonderful! Do you have tiktok?
