Okay, warning: this is loosely related... But does anyone else agree that old warrior cats fan art and animations hold a certain charm? Like, I don’t know what it is, but the slight lack of art skill, the MS Paint quality, and just the general style of most of the old fan art looks so charming. Kind of in a nostalgic way, but not really because I wasn’t in the fandom (or on the internet really at all) back then. It makes me wish that I read Warriors and had access to MS Paint back when the fandom was new.

[@AmberDrawsStuff]

Yes. Every old piece of warrior cats fanart or a warrior cats meme, it has a certain style to it all the time. Like the cats having emoticon faces like '>:3'. It's so weird, but also nostalgic.

[@kat-Artz]

As an MS Paint veteran, the erasing stuff was pain :') If you copy and cut the entire canvas while having the sketch color on color 2, you can fill in the background color, paste, and the color is gone. It works because your technically only filling in that color. But for animating in Paint, I thought this was heckin' good! Aside from spending an ungodly time erasing the sketches, it's way better than I could ever do rn with a drawing program! Ah, I still remember drawing in Paint with a mouse though... I dunno how I ever got used to that...

the only part of the video I enjoyed was the ad at the beginning. The rest was watching north in pain (t). Which made me delighted.

[@Keznen]

Knew there are people who make actual masterpieces in MS Paint, but didn't know until now that it was possible to animate with it. Mastering the full artistic potential of MS Paint is like taming a feral horse. Difficult and unnecessary, but an achievement nonetheless.

[@garcelemonn2659]

This just proves that the fanciest programs or most expensive tablets won't make you any better at art. Although they may make the process easier, it all comes down to your skills! :') ALSO FREAKING AMAZING!

[@ihmehelmi]

thumbnail is freakin beautiful

[@TaysTyy_CrusT]

A quick way to remove a sketch layer is make the first color the color you wanna delete and the second color white then left click and drag over your sketch it'll turn only the sketch layer color white and nothing else

[@synnixi2455]

Omg the end product looks so amazing even more so when knowing it was made in paint! I used to start animating in paint and using windows movie maker for editing and it sure was painful trying to get even somewhat smooth animation done. I was around 10 years old so it actually wasn't good looking at all, but to me back then it was amazing. Amazing work and thanks for showing your progress again!

[@kreeative_error1897]

Everyone just stop. Appreciate the effort North puts into her animations. Making sure that even when the program sucks, she still tries her hardest. Stop and appreciate the time. Imagine, how long this would take. I struggled with a 10 second animation. This probably took days to complete. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, so much. Your animation is amazing and you deserve it. Well done, and keep it up. (Sorry if this sounded a little passive aggressive)

Simply drawing in paint is frustrating, you must have alot of patience.
