Lost Childhoods - 1 week Children Book Style MAP COMPLETE

This map is about the kittens of Warrior Cats, their stories and struggles during the books and through their childhoods. As you can see, it's not easy to be a kit.
This MAP has a thematic of children books, so the participants could choose some book they liked to be inspired by the design or they could do the part with watercolor/crayons/chalks brushes, as well as tons of texture and silly details! Just a chilling map and each participant had 1 week to finish it.
Not only that!! This MAP had half of its part reserved for animators under 1k! So tons of this artists are really underrated and deserve a lot of attention! Don't forget to check their channels!

[@Icannothink]

Cat I feel bad for jay feather,he got into an prophecy he didn’t want it, His dreams was never a knowledge, He was forced into his job by his gods (an job that he didn’t want), was socially isolated because of his job and never found love, was always grumpy because of this,And he was told that he could never be an warrior because of his disability but that was never proven wrong.Also the map was ready good I loved it.Also it super a cute map.

[@woltyandfriends382]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SEES JAYFEATHER’S PAIN. Like his life was so unfair.

He went through so much and I love his character. I understand his life long frustration more than you'd believe 💙 we need more love for jayfeather😔🥺

Not to mention, he was blamed for murdering a cat he was trying to SAVE

I never Truely realised how much kits in these books went through until now I shed a tear. Anyway I’m definitely subscribing

[@loonais12_]

You did such a great job!

[@Haru_095]

Whitekit’s part is so sad! I’m crying ㅠㅠ going to Snowfur’s grave crying while Bluefur and Thistleclaw are busy arguing… and Snowfur’s spirit lingering around him,unsure of what to do

[@Woofzilla]

I really appreciate the idea of promoting smaller artists in this project, there’s so many underrated folks out there - this turned out amazing

[@fenroseauburn7721]

I wasn't crying And then I saw Snowkit. And now I'm bawling 😭

[@melowon_z]

THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY ADORABBLE AGH AND THE BOOK FLIP TRANSITIONS WAS SUCH A CUTE DETAIL THAT ADDED EVERYTHING TOGETHER AGHH AMAZING MAP AS ALWAY

[@nonexistent4067]

I loved this MAP so much, indeed it did make me tear up. I love how unique each art is, though all giving off the nostalgic vibe a children’s book. I believe the life most of the kits in the warriors series is quite traumatic and stressful, and this work of art depicted it perfectly. I love MAPs, but I don’t think any of them have touched me as much as this. This was amazing, thank you for this beautiful work of art everyone!

[@Haru_095]

‘Don’t get me wrong I didn’t have it bad,I got enough loving from my mom and dad’ -Breezepelt in Lost Childhoods MAP while both his parents are arguing over nothing and Crowfeather neglecting his own son Fun fact:He did *not* get enough loving from his dad

[@evee1105]

When I found out one of my favorite songs was being used for a warrior's map i was beyond excited!!! This map is so cute!!!

[@LittleLion420]

I would have loved to see Thunder or Jagged Peak in this! Seeing moth flights kits in this absolutely broke my heart. It’s just something about the characters is DOTC (they are so good especially ESPECIALLY Gray wing and I love to dislike Clear sky sometimes)

[@Llriftenn]

It was such an honor to participate in this map, and everyone’s parts were absolutely spectacular and everyone nailed the book theme so well! Thank you so much for letting me join!

[@leahsartstudio]

I LOVED your part! I’m gonna make a drawing based off of the part where the queen was hugging her kits 🤗 Underrated you are!

[@Llriftenn]

@@leahsartstudio Tysm!!! 🥺❤️

[@leahsartstudio]

@@Llriftenn also, you have a new sub 😊

[@yoshifan4456]

My favorite part about this map is that there's no blood shown. When someone's injured, they make the boo-boo lines instead and i think that really brings together the storybook theme

[@ZirconiaGacha]

Upon hearing this I remembered one of my OC generator characters, Moonkit. I was originally confused as to why she had "a large scar across her flank", but put it up to the generator being a generator... This is what I got from it: she was raised by two Clan toms when her Clanless mother dropped her off at a Clan (canon one but not sure yet). One dad died to a rogue attack on patrol, so she went outside of camp for some alone time. Eagle attacks her, giving Moonkit the flank scars, but her remaining dad intercepts it but dies in the process. So the Clan really has no place for her now (because kitty xenophobia) and they just leave her in another canon Clan territory where she does get adopted again. Needless to say this is her theme song now.

[@rosestarofroseclan8094]

As a poor kid in a poor family, and someone who is still currently a poor kid, I relate to and love this song so much ❤

[@birbbakubro]

I never really thought about it, but think about how much trauma these kits went through. Usually, the books are focused on other aspects but the kits in warrior cats have a pretty hard life. I mean, Tigerstar's father left him when he was a kit. And Hawkfrost saw his brother die and his mother left him.

[@Badgerfrost_Draws]

Cheers to 3:00 . I wouldn’t even BE in this community without this MAP part. I was scrolling on YT once, I saw it and thought it was cool. I kept replaying it, and found out more about the Warrior Cats community. Soon, I read Moth Flight’s Vision, and it all came back to me. Thank you to whoever made this part, you are the reason I am here.

[@SnowEarDraws]

this is one or rhe most sad and prettiest warrior cats maps ive ever seen. It even showcases a bunch of the broken childhoods that aren’t really talked about.

[@leahalers]

THIS MAP TURNED OUT SO CUTEE AND INCREDIBLE!! Thank you for giving me the chance to be a part of this ;w; ♥️♥️

[@FizzyFlameDrop2722]

this map looks amazing! especially from the thumbnail, all of you worked so hard! the parts were outstanding and i absolutely adored the kits faces in your parts! thank goodness it is here, because i haven’t been starting off the day very good! cant wait! edit: i was right, the editing in this was amazing! marinin, you are very creative with warriors, i love the credits, i loved the the crayon-like styles! everything was so great! i would have been so proud to be a part of this, thank you for giving the warriors fandom another great, amazing work of art!

[@lexiqulia8926]

This song reminds me of Bramble'Claw and Tawny'Pelt's childhood.

I clicked thinking this was another map part, and then I saw was the complete map and I was beyond excited :D

[@beeshark222]

Whoever did Snowkit NOOO THATS NOT FAIIRIRRR-

Aww, it was sweet seeing Ashfur comfort Cloudtail while Ferncloud yelled in the background.

[@skygazer6082]

2:58 I both love and hate this image. Such innocence but also impending disaster. *Starts Sobbing* SNOWKIT DIDNT DESERVE IT!

[@Jayadwal]

OMG THIS IS THE CUTEST MAP I'VE EVER PARTICIPANTED IN!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR HAVING ME, I LITERALLY LOVE THIS IDEA AND HOW IT TURNED OUT!!

[@MichaelaWester-wm1zr]

The terror on Larchkit, Petalkit and Patchkit's faces and the heartbroken hope on mapleshade was so well done, great job to that animator!

[@vibinglemon6156]

I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE THE END RESULT! ^^ I had so much fun participating in this map and I just cannot wait to see how it came out! :>

[@Catinthecosmos155]

The premier was great, this is now one of my favorite maps! Great job to everyone involved and thank you for hosting this ❤️

[@lush-lad]

This is definitely one of my new favourite maps! Amazing work!

[@juliriggs839]

oh my gosh the Mapleshade, Patchkit, Larchkit, and Petalkit part made me burst out with tears.

[@Stormi_Jay]

Just, just, I am speechless! This is one of the best maps out there! The style, the song, the animations! It’s great. It also gives you a heart ache for all the stuff kits went though. It’s just so sad. My favorite parts are: Maple shade and her kits Sasha and her kits when tadpole drowned spark pelt and her kits And when snip kit was washed away

[@AlphaDarnia]

This is beautiful. Everyone did amazing and I adore the concept of this so much. I’m so happy to see this finished!

Such a freaking beautiful aesthetic!! Holy cow, looks just like a story book come to life!

[@bread8439]

I've been waiting for this ever since the MAP call came out! Such beautiful art everyone! It's so adorable yet so sad at the same time. I just feel that the idea of kids having to go through trauma at such a young age, and their parents as well, is such a unique and interesting concept. I mean, it is very sad too, but when you turn it into an adorable children's storybook aesthetic, it doesn't feel that way. Anyways, this was so wholesome and beautiful, and I loved it.

[@Duskfall]

aaaaa so pretty c: SO many cool parts and a very fun and charming style, plus it was awesome to see more underappreciated animators partake in a big MAP like this!

[@xxpeachywarriorxx6911]

Everyone did great, I’ve been waiting for this map for so long! It’s sad to think about how many kits in the warriors series have died or ruined their kit hoods….

[@Jinx5155]

This is incredible I’ve seen some pretty amazing maps but this was definitely one of the best! It’s so unique and it made me realize how much a lot of the kits have been through! Amazing job to all the animators!

Honestly a beautiful map! It makes me tear up thinking about all these kits going through such times. It’s sad how they’re always so joyful, despite them knowing and going through some of those depressing and traumatizing times.. one of the few maps that made me cry, beautifully done! 🙌
