Misunderstanding - Speedpaint

READ. THE. DESCRIPTION. It shall answer any magical questions you may have. If it doesn't, feel free to ask. :)
This was a commission from Angelspirit26!
Characters: Featherfrost (white she-cat), Lola (white she-cat, brown ears), Breezetail (siamese tom), and Parker (silver tabby tom).
Story: Breezetail fell in love with Featherfrost, but Featherfrost couldn't return his feelings. She meets Lola and they immediately fall in love (Yay for same-gender couples!). Breezetail becomes jealous and angry, and he kills Lola. After he killed her, Parker, Lola's brother, finds Lola's body with Breezetail standing over her and kills Breezetail. Featherfrost finds them and thinks Parker killed them both, so she lashes out at Parker. He runs, and she flees the clans in search of happiness. Eventually, she finds Parker again. He tells her what really happened, and they end up falling in love.
WOO!
So this is the scene where Featherfrost finds Parker beside the bodies of Breezetail and Lola. :)
I hope you like it!

[@Kennymation]

[@bxmble_bear_8335]

Yea, lol. Doesn't matter the name, she got every cat falling to their knees, er paws, er, whatever XD

[@Kennymation]

Yes XD

[@Kennymation]

Wouldn't be surprised if it was a love dodecahedron

[@honeybunnie299]

That's a complicated story.... o.o

[@KaykeKat]

This absolutely breaks my heart, River, I love this song and seeing it in this context is absolutely tearing me apart. I love your artwork.

[@linsumm4311]

I AGREE, GO SAME GENDER COUPLES, IT'S WRONG TO THINK DIFFERENT AND BULLY PEOPLE FOR IT, YAAAY, SAME GENDER COUPLES!!! lol, i have a weird mind, but still... i think it's wrong to say that being gay or lesbian is wrong, well saying that alone is wrong... meh... i just confused myself in my mind... greaaat

[@yuf3120]

Agreed! :)

[@CheSnail]

agreed, I don't get how people can think that Homosexuals are a sin. Like, what?!? "The word is not Gay or Lesbian, it's love." as my friend says.

[@Suntinxx_]

I remember, this was the first video I saw by you, it was still new too! But I still love it, stay awesome River

[@cludocat7243]

YES finally a same gender cat couple, now i dont feel alone :3 also awesome drawing River, and well done to Angelspirit26 for the great story :D

[@ari6920]

OMG dat story doe! It was amazing and the speedpaint was really well drawn! X3

[@jekyllfekyll4652]

[@streamecho1216]

Oh, and I really like your "Time of Truce (Christmas") speedpaint.

[@ottersplashaj40]

[@buckybarnes3714]

O.o

[@alyssaherstine8587]

Omg, love your speed paints! I totally subscribed and liked this video! I watch you mainly all the time! Every death speed paint of clan cats dying, it really touches my heart! My mom will walk in my room and see tears on my keyboard she'll ask "why are you crying from just a speed paint! I really love your work!

[@cristinad.2814]

I love your speedpaints. You are such a great artist, I hope you keep doing what your doing. ❤️ I can't draw that well, but one day... How long have you been drawing? ❤️ BTW, this is my favorite speedpaint out of all of them. Great music choice! Wow, I just... Wow. Amazing work

[@originalshiba5065]

Amazing speedpaint! A bit of a weird story, but I guess its kinda cool in a complicated way.

[@rb_illustrates]

This is amazing!! I love it :) Nicely done.

[@edenrose9671]

thats one hell of a story and a hell of a drawing to go with it

[@Sparkles832]

One of my faves River! I love your drawings!!

[@destinygamer4773]

I love this song =) it's so sad yet happy at the same time

[@kynerthist6026]

How long did it take you to figure out Photoshop? I'm going to start using it for digital art and I have no idea how long it takes to figure out +river spirit

[@RiverSpirit]

Oh man, I still don't know all the functions! It's such a complex program. KZbin tutorials help. :D

[@kynerthist6026]

Mmk thank you. I'll look up some tutorials. :3

[@koiffeedraws2431]

River Spirit I took Photoshop classes and i still don't know how to use all the functions. xD

[@jadedghostt]

Mizuki Miyako i know a lot if you have any questions, just reply to my comment here :)

[@echoing_winds1575]

+River Spirit omg ikr i use it and im just like... "ooh! a button! let me press it!" and then my computer glitches and shuts down... -_-

[@emmaskinner459]

Omg this is so beautiful, I love it.

[@anaseok7273]

You don't know how much I love this song... I actually cried...

[@bxmble_bear_8335]

I was like this: 0.0

[@mirandarasmussen308]

+River Spirit Wow this is amazing, btw this is MoonXRusset from DA and I have a question: how do you select the entire cat?

[@camgoldberg3982]

I'd like to know that too

[@icestaridk4712]

That my friends, is the question of the year

[@skiakardia3966]

Question of the decade.

[@prismpowertayler124]

Omg I like the story plot

[@whisperfrostaj2289]

This makes me so happy an sad at the same time. Happy because for once I've heard if another warriors cats fan who's oc has been in love with the same gender and the story is pretty sad.

[@anastasiafurnell8574]

What a story! *whistles downward*

[@aqquarius]

You always have awesome music so I'm looking through all your speed paints in search of songs, this one is also by Regina Spektor, yay!

[@KarinaWintersthewolf]

I am really impressed by the storyline, wonder if I could in turn do a fanfiction for @Angelspirit26

[@fultonk.257]

One of my favorite songs, and grate art!

[@movedchannels1246]

This story is so emotional

[@tiredandneedsacoffee3700]

Omg I look up Ur pics online I am such a fan !!!u are awesome at drawing and are best at drawing warrior cats! Which I am a big fan of to. Keep up posting more!!

[@dogsandcats574]

*claps* amazing speedpaint I love it

[@jadedghostt]

Yay same gender couple :DDD

[@sparkle1princess]

I like how the music doesn't start until 14 seconds in to the video.

[@sleepisntathingiknow1043]

You continue to impress

[@nklsinbveeisabloodygenius7931]

This is one of my favorite songs. 😸

[@alexsmith8133]

river, how much time do you generally put into these paints? i was just wondering because i have recently purchased a wacom tablet for digital art and my first paint is taking FOREVER to finish. D:

[@ColdRising]

One of my paints took 6 hours rto finish x3

[@alexsmith8133]

SpiritCat WolfSpirit oh goodness

[@ColdRising]

Alex Smith lol ikr but another one only took 10 minutes xD

[@spatalottakittens]

yay for finaly having same gender couples! someone finaly has the courage! also, I wanna write my own story :3 so hopefully you will speedpaint a scene from it, because I'm a huge fan of your art! :D

[@xxpointlesssoulxx8950]

I just burst into tears wen this came on, this was the last speedpaint me and my friend becki watched before both of our mums got into a huge fight and grew apart (fight meaning scratching each other) on my 11th birthday

[@gapeach522]

How do you cell shade so perfectly? Every time I try it looks messy and I go back to soft shading.

[@FlamestarofLeafclan]

How do u shade? I know that u select the lasso tool to shade the area U want, but what color do u use and how do u make it lighter? (This is amazing by the way, I love your vids!!)

[@danidragongal2224]

I'm pretty sure she makes the selected area black, then decreases the opacity

[@Snowflake28936AJ]

Color depends on what time of the day it is. If it's sunny it's black. If it's sunrise/sundown then it's normally dark blue. If it's night then dark black. You make it lighter by going on the layer and lowering the opacity/fill. Hope this helped :3

[@kacyk7422]

Rainbow Knights XD OMG DARK BLACK XD Its like you can actually have light and dark black but if you keep going it will turn grey .. LOL

[@lostwolfy1970]

the story made me cry a bit..... it's a wonderful speed paint tho

[@jordan2804]

Hey, I'm not sure River'll read this but if she does could I get a tip or two on how she keeps her lines smooth?

[@liana-a8635]

Practice.

[@Sugarwuff]

And stabilizers. (Don't know if River specifically uses them, but many artists do)

[@jordan2804]

Yeah no, I've got a stabilizer on it turns out my problem was mostly in motion. You see I was lineing with my hand and wrist when I needed to line with my whole arm.

[@Sugarwuff]

Ah XD I hope it's fixed now then

[@madiness0590]

Wow, thats one wacked up love life o.o Great job though! XD

[@jazzthedwarf714]

River, you must love this song XD

[@Lightningstime]

This is amazing.

[@veisvoid]

This is beautiful Riverspirit ~nightsoul

[@angelstars_7]

Wonderful!!!! I love it

[@dkgeotube3784]

Request: Duskstripe-white cat, ice blue eyes, black tail tip, one black forepaw. A marking like a crescent moon on his right eye, facing to the left. Black ears. Tom. Grey ear insides. Black nose. Maybe in like, a courageous, challenging pose? The marking is like, if he closed his eye it would go over his eyelid and continue downwards.

[@liana-a8635]

She doesn't take requests

[@psysilver6689]

The white she-cat's eyes are the color my cat's are, I'm just to horrible of an artist for you to know...

[@cancelwhitney]

Is there a certain site where warrior stories are most prominent? Coz all the other writing sites I use warriors stories aren't popular, and I want to get some critique on mine qq

[@candyheart3157]

Have you gone on FanFiction.net? They have almost every fandom in the universe, and their warriors section is the 4th largest on the site.

[@cancelwhitney]

Candy Heart Haha, thank you! I usually use penzu.com and Wattpad cx

[@blep9529]

featherfrost be causin trouble

[@x.the_masked_wolf.x5281]

Wow so cool i love you speedpainting

[@undergrounderw.917]

River I got an Intous draw for Christmas! Any tips?

[@BlazeTheDemidragon]

Hey River, I was just wondering if you knew how to get Photoshop on a chromebook. I got a Bamboo Wacom Tablet for Christmas, and I'm still trying to figure out how to get it. And I hope you don't mind, but in my fanfiction, I mention your OC. Except I gave her a warrior name; Riverheart. It seemed to fit.

[@katiem8285]

Blaze The Demidragon Sorry to say this but Wacom Tablets aren't yet supported or work on Chromebooks. I have one myself.

[@BlazeTheDemidragon]

Katie M Actually, if you set the tablet up on another computer and then you attempt to use it on the chrome book, it works. I can use my tablet thanks to the fact that I set up the tablet on a another one.

[@katiem8285]

Really? Awesome!

[@BlazeTheDemidragon]

Katie M Yep. Always try the stuff normal people won't do. Its sure to work XD.

[@katiem8285]

Lol!

[@hallew3796]

This was literally the first video of this channel that I watched.

[@oof2482]

Sad and cool at the same time 😭😎

[@t3ny0u6]

Great job!

[@bmrgrrl1974]

how do you do line art???? plz help I just got a tablet

[@melbelle_kp]

Wow epic love story

[@cristinad.2814]

PS: How much does Photoshop cs5 cost anyway? SORRY FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS!!! :3

[@davidpotts7116]

Okay... let's get this straight (no pun intended towards Lola and Featherfrost). Breezetail loves Featherfrost but she and Lola love each other. Breezetail gets mad and kills Lola then Parker kills Breezetail. Featherfrost chases him and finds him then Parker explains what happened. Then happy ending as they fall in love! (For all those people who don't read the description)

[@finnsnivy1911]

Beautiful.

[@indipindy16]

If they were in the clans, how did Featherfrost fall in love with Lola, who seems like a loner? Did she and Parker join the clans but keep their names? Or were they kittypets before the clans rather than loners? So many questions... But, River I love this song and I think speed paint is awesome. Go gay couples!

[@ven1863]

And Lesbian

[@cristal35791]

Can i have the link to the story? :O

[@lucytrigg4424]

I kinda know how to use that photoshop but its still so hard. Your amazing river if you can do that with photoshop.

[@MysteryAssassinWolf]

I forgot the mini intro where you say you don't take requests or commissions anymore. Just pointing it out

[@swifttrail3800]

My first time watching your vids and I LOVE it ( r chu taking requests)

[@kinzcraft8634]

How do you make lines so smooth like that? :O

[@leeyo8783]

Wow its a beateful

[@spoopyhazel1352]

so fluffing cool

[@tropicat212]

*claps in between every word* IT. TOOK. ME. 3. YEARS. TO. FIGURE. OUT. AND. UNDERSTAND. THE. DESCRIPTION. Rip me

[@chrismas5852]

I about cried cause Lola looks like one of my cats

[@hannahgroff9611]

Wait, but why would she think he would kill his sister? But i guess she was blind with grief...

[@christophoilet]

I thought the type of cat breeze tail is was gray and white....

[@theultimateusukfan]

i dont know photoshop, but how did u make the shadows by tracing everything??

[@RiverSpirit]

I selected the areas I wanted to shade using the lasso tool. :)

[@lightningmist222pineapple6]

+River Spirit you are so cool😀😀Thx for the vidio's you make they help a lot in some times.😀😀😀😀😉

[@snowyThesylveon]

+River Spirit i try using the lasso tool to shade things, but when i try, it doesnt work. How??

[@warriorcatsnerd1940]

yeah.. how DID you do that?

[@thepandapanaj782]

Could you do I commission of when Graystripe is asking blue star to join thunder clan after he left

[@madeleine7098]

OH wow! so complicated and sad!

[@Julian-ux2ox]

I love this song it remindes me of my life

[@sketchartist4449]

what song did you use????

[@maddogbird]

Breezetail needs to be sent to Jelly school, m'kay.

[@ricegusty]

Woo! xD

[@crystalwilliams8770]

Will u do a speed paint of brambleclaw?

[@markhemmingsen2012]

make one of parker and featherfrost underneath a mistletoe if you could, it would be cute since christmas is comign up for me in about a week

[@swiftfeather147]

Soooo cool!

[@marleyrohling7771]

Can you do steamclaw(grey with darker speckles) and smokefoot (brown with grey paws) mates

[@indigoflower2039]

So Featherfrost falls I love with Lola's brother Parker when she once loved Lola... Interesting...

[@Anonymous-fh5sg]

How much does a drawing cost?

[@bmrgrrl1974]

don't think she does commissions maybe with friends though

[@thephantomthief672]

Igbo on her deviant art

[@HorsesAtSea]

It depends on how many characters you want, though she isn't doing commissions at the moment. It is 15$ for one character, and an extra 5$ per added character. It is also 10$ if you want a speed paint of it. Headshot however are only 7.50, but you cannot get a speed paint with a headshot.

[@DelilahDivesIneditor]

Does it cost money to commission you?

[@christophoilet]

Yes

[@demorisxcassidy6321]

good art

[@isabellazamora9102]

wow your good!

[@felixtower5488]

Oh my- confusing backround :P

[@c4b00sey]

Im so sorry for asking, and I know you don't take requests, but I wonder, If you sometimes can do Rainbow Dash as a cat, and have the song Nightcore - Colors Of The Rainbow

[@what-so4hx]

Is this a story you can read online? It sounds interesting! :3

[@oliyeet5274]

AHHH IT"S REGINA SPEKTOR!

[@timeforestproductions3838]

what story is this from?

[@help-hv6zr]

YASSS!

[@reneecoppock4404]

Some people don't realize that it wasn't only bluestar who lost so much, She lost her mother, sister, and kits before the books even started, but Crookedstar... He lost *takes deep breath* His mom twice, dad, 2 kits, and his mate ALL BEFORE THE INTO THE WILD! Then his brother and his last kit died before the Battle of Bloodclan! So stop feeling so sad about Bluestar and being like, "Oh, poor Bluestar, she lost so much!" and go get on your knees and cry for Crookedstar, because he lost so much more than her. Just sayin'.

[@reneecoppock4404]

Bye the way, I'm not a hater, but seriously. Crookedstar needs the love!

[@sketchartist4449]

Shit you are good at this btw love the music i always do the fluff to big

[@klariecemoran138]

Hi, River Spirit. I'm a really big warriors fan, and I was wondering if you would take a request from me. It's my cat, Ravenstar (black she-cat), with her deputy, Snowscar (white she-cat), and their taking a walk in the forest and talking. The story goes that Snowscar's mate, Riverflight (greyish/blue tom), did something to upset her. So if you wouldn't mind, please can you make this? Thanks!

[@klariecemoran138]

And by the way, Ravenstar has green reyes and Snowscar has blue eyes

[@KaykeKat]

She's closed requests for now, but I think she'll be re opening them in a few months (or more, or less >.

[@klariecemoran138]

Kayke Kat okay, thank you.

[@beepboop8000]

Alright, who put ketchup in the snow?
