I like how Tigerstar bashes down the "beware of One-eye" sign to signify that the Dark Forest has a new leader

[@The_Mops]

Using a cat jaw as a crown is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It's unbelievably creative while also being super aesthetically perfect and fits the character.

[@mgii8861]

a literal cat jaw WHAT

[@lawling466]

That’s unbelievably metal

[@beastmaster0934]

1:09 I love the “Beware One Eye” sign that Tigerstar destroys. Signifying that even among the Dark Forest cats, One Eye is something to be feared.

[@consueno753]

Now Imagine One Eye in the great battle slaughtering dark forest cats a la Doom slayer

[@spill-the-tea-sis]

I think it’s more of a “was to be feared” as he seemed terrified of TigerStar and TigerStar tore down the sign with such ease.

[@beastmaster0934]

@@spill-the-tea-sis Fair point. Especially considering the two-headed cat is apparently One-Eye.

[@spill-the-tea-sis]

They actually look like they're having a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind being a Dark Forest cat if it's always like this down there. Also I am really looking forward to see this finished.

Brokenstar and Tigerstar: "Time to make the screen shake when we walk most of the time, say hello to some mini earthquakes."

[@canb2291]

Can you say which time Brokenstar appear? I'm really want to know the name of a cat that I like, but I don't know his name.

[@viperfangstudios9308]

Watching this, I sorta hoped for the "pumpkin king" to be One-eye, since he kinda created the dark forest and all that, but this storyboard is hecking gorgeous nonetheless. Can wait to see the finished product!

[@SkiggsMoDiggs]

true but Tigerstar was WAY more involved with the dark forest's training and frankly had more of an impact of the clans than one-eye

[@stupidwarriorkitties]

Still One Eye seems to have *some* power over the cats as they seem to fear him (Besides Tigerstar of course) :>

[@DoctorWhoXIII]

I hoped too that the pumpkin king was One Eye, but hey, at least it's not Mapleshade

[@stvrfang]

@@DoctorWhoXIII mapleshade is perfectly eligible to being a leader of the dark forest tho? i feel like all the cats in the df who had an impact on the clans deserves a place in the hierarchy, there should be multiple leaders if im honest

People have done this before it's just they haven't been as ambitious as this. It takes a large amount of creativity and originality to work something out like this. Most people prefer to just make edgy book-related maps w/o realizing that the books just simply suck and in order to make them better you just have to go off the rails.

Hello! Quick questions if you may answer them, thank you! 1. If an animator puts black bars on top and on the bottom of the screen to cover the water mark, is it allowed or does it still count as a watermark? 2. Is the discord gonna be invited via the application? Thank you if you can answer these questions! I wanna make sure I don’t get anything wrong ^^
