[@a.e.m.08]

LOLOLLOLLOOLLOLLOLOLLOLOL

[@AriaHope]

Please note! Lillies are incredibly poisonous to cats! Even their pollen can cause death! I didn't know this for quite awhile so I thought that you guys would like to know! ^^

[@meghan4257]

Aria Hope well this is an art piece and a fictional character where cats talk, live under the same rules, and have a blind cat who loves a stick so...I don't think a few lilies will harm a warrior cat ;P

[@AriaHope]

yeah that's true, but the poisonous lilies is a pretty good thing to know if you have cats irl so you don't accidently kill your cat by getting some flowers lol.

[@meghan4257]

Aria Hope I guess lol

[@serendipitii2508]

That's really awkward because in the Warrior Cats series they have cats named "Lilystem" and "Lilyheart"... that kinda means we have cats named "Poisinstem" and "Poisonheart".... ;_; also the artwork is 10000/ 10 it's amazing.

[@AriaHope]

I know right?? well the erins were never all too concerned about realism lol. and thanks!

Thank you! ^^

[@karaleonetti2006]

Cocoa Coyote yeah your so right

[@decaying_dewdrop]

I'm sorry but the second song sounded really bad... Did something happen to it while you where editing? I know you may like it and I'm not trying to be rude :) It just sounded like my speaker was messed up and I know my speaker is fine.

[@AriaHope]

well that's weird. it sounds fine to me! try listening to the original song and see if the problem persists

[@decaying_dewdrop]

Alright :)

[@jocelynmills4610]

I subbed. realistic art. warrior cats. you added one of my favourite songs, Blame. the overall piece inspires me. guys, is there a reason *not* to sub? I hope one day to have skill such as yours.

[@AriaHope]

Thanks for the support! and with practice and the inspiration to keep going on I'm sure you'll surpass me someday! ^^

[@jocelynmills4610]

Aria Hope Awe, thank you! No offence, but I think I prefer youtubers with small channels as like you, they can reply to comment. It just feels good knowing someone is actually looking at what you say. That's not something you see often.

[@AriaHope]

Hahaha! I know what you mean! the entire reason I try to reply to everyone is so no-one feels that they are shouting to the void, so I'm glad that I'm getting rid of that feeling~

[@jocelynmills4610]

Aria Hope Yeah, I bet lots of other people appreciate it too. I hope when you become more popular you can still respond to everyone:D

[@AriaHope]

:D I'll try my best! ^^

[@minequine7171]

i've been subscribed to this channel since summer of last year and I'm genuinely surprised by the fact that the 1000 subscriber mark hasn't been hit yet! The realistic style is eye-catching and quite rare to see in art channels and so this made me happy to find ^^ Keep doing this kind of magic and I'll continue to suggest you to my friends who are aspiring artists!

[@AriaHope]

😭 thank you so much for your support! and thank you so much for keeping up with me for so long! ^^

[@minequine7171]

I love the way you draw! It's so clean and eye-catching!! Very beautiful!!

[@AriaHope]

Thank you!

[@Speckle.froggy]

This is gorgeous! It isn't everyday that I see art like this. I like the bull thistles and the Lily's that represent Snowfur and Thistleclaw as flowers. I love this art so much, keep up the good work!

[@spindrifted9610]

Snowfur: Aaa what a beautiful sky. Thistlefur: EEEE AAAAAA SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AAAAA cough cough (insert more screaming noises)

[@strawb3rrysuccubus]

Firedoesthings This is an underrated comment, I'm laughing my head off right now 😂

[@andiikaiin27]

Oh my goodness! Your art is AMAZING! Your style is so realistic and just impossible not to love! I just stumbled upon this speedpaint and your channel and I'm just so amazed and speechless!

[@AriaHope]

aw thanks! I'm glad you like it! ^^

[@katiedeity4399]

May I just say, not only is this art stunning and gorgeous, but the song choice is great. I vision Youth being Snowfur's theme song and Thistles and Weeds as Thistleclaw's, and music can help bring the story to life and it certainly does in the piece. Overall, this has got to be my favourite painting by you next to your Cinderpelt one.

[@hae_zuru]

so realistic damn... Great artwork, it does show what Snowfur and Thistleclaw are like. Amazing!

[@AriaHope]

glad you like it ^^

[@nicholecintron7329]

This is so stunning and full of emotion! One of the best artists on youtube, in my opinion.

The only death I cried on was Snowfur'a she is not my favorite cat yet her death made me cry gag Snowfur gg

[@INAI1NAIREBOOT]

I _did_ cry On multiple occasions

[@everythin__1609]

FINALLY. This is one of the first pieces of art I saw when I came to this fandom, and it always stayed in a corner of my head. I'm so glad I found this speedpaint I'm jegfsgfjegf It's just so great, the positions, the fur and the light are awesome ! Must've taken a lot of time tho ! Made me wonder how did Snowfur felt when she realised that Bluestar was kinda right about him...

[@ReidArt]

gosh im've been following you for so long and??? you've improved so much this last year/???? and this is amazing!!! not only do you manage to create deeply emotional pictures, but you create amazing facial expressions wiTH CATS?????? and the way you shade and line is so gorgeous and the aesthetic of your work is always so brilliant and i swear down those are the best flowers i've seen painted in a looong time like this is amazing

[@AriaHope]

I crying??? thank you so much!!! I try to improve upon myself every day and I so glad that you've been here to see it! thank you so much for sticking with me! ^^

[@isc8480]

This is, without a doubt, the most stunning piece of artwork I've seen. It genuinely made me freeze and just stare at it in awe.

[@AriaHope]

:o I'm flattered! thank you for your kind comment! ❤

[@estherg3687]

Oohw your art is so inspirational, so clean, beautiful AND realistic!! I really want to be such a perfect artist like you once! Also, i love the music you use with speedpaints!

[@melodypeng4068]

Amazing, Imma speechless person now

[@AriaHope]

oh! I'm flattered! :D

[@xolrhee.5634]

Honestly, your artwork is astonishing. The amount of detail placed into every piece of your work is shocking. The line art, the subtle coloring, the shading- it all brings the picture to life. You put so much detail into every tuft of fur and I appreciate that so much. I absolutely love your work. You deserve so much more attention. Side note, I love the way you draw your eyes.

[@AriaHope]

^ω^ thank you so much! I'm flattered that you like my work that much! ^^

I find your art style very unique on KZbin because the expressions of the cats and the detailed line work/shading love your art work keep on drawing ❤😍

I don't under stand how good at art you are YOU ARE SOO GOOD

[@kjenks2]

I love the details in the plants!

[@funnymoment9175]

I used to think Thistleclaw would look ugly, bu now I can see how Snowfur fell in love with him. They both look amazing! If I were a warrior, I'd choose Thistleclaw or Hawkfrost as my mate, after seeing this!

[@bubblepop8602]

Oh I didn't forget to like and subscribe. And I recognized two out of the three songs. But it's not the music I came to talk about. It's the art. This is literally the best picture I have ever seen. You are now the person I look up to, art wise. I'm just speechless. This is absolutely phenomenal!

[@AriaHope]

Im glad you like it! ^^

[@lydiac9118]

Hi! This is going to seem like a strange comment, but I remember being only 12 or so and seeing this speedpaint for the first time. I was deep in the warriors fandom, and loved watching animatics, MAPs, speedpaints, the works. I'm 18 and heading into my first year of an animation course in college in September. I just want you to know that art like yours was so so inspiring and formative :]]

[@alister1375]

I watched this Before I knew what warriors was, but now I'm watching it when I do and I'm in love!

[@seekingneptune1658]

The fact that you only have 2,311 subscribers is astonishing to me from how beautiful your art is

[@sadcottonballdog]

Beautiful piece of art right there people! Wow! This really shows Thistleclaw and Snowfur

[@Nickifriend7581fun]

Beautiful. Absolutely marvelous. I loved the contrast between light and dark, and the flowers that symbolized the both of them. You definitely deserve so much more love for your artwork!! Again, amazing job. ~a new fan.
