The Five Giants - warriors speedpaint

real time: 5h (+another 5h of struggling with life)
tool(s): PainToolSAI, PaintNET, Intuos Pen&Touch tablet
This is an entry for The Five Giants thumbnail contest. The Five Giants is an upcoming warriors multi animator project hosted by Whiskermoon, Obnoxious Giraffe and Callipepla Californica. I would've loved to join that project as an animator, but unfortunately joined the MAP community 6 months too late as the project's been going on for a year already. However I got another chance to take part in it in the form of the thumbnail contest they're holding and definately wanted to give a go for it ^^
The cats in the image are (from left to right) Leafstar, Tallstar, Firestar, Leopardstar, Blackstar.

[@doveheart5009]

[@chaos9608]

Because they went to the dark forest for disliking this

[@Peikkey]

Lol I like how you can interpret this in two ways 1.only ppl from The dark forest would dislike this 2.anyone Who would dislike this is going to the dark forest

[@Finchwing]

+HypnotiCat totally not a hamilton reference 😏

[@michellelightfoot6979]

This is by far the best one of I've seen of the leaders

[@user-ts9zj9sj7n]

agreed

[@georgeandmistystamogiannos3827]

Yep

[@FirriApril]

You may have noticed this video cuts short weirdly. Thats because Moviemaker unfortunately decided to cut 9 out of the 11 video files I had into 50 second clips and I was only able to recover 6 of them. The last 3 complete clips showing the painting process of Leopardstar and Blackstar, and the repainting of the background were left missing. Hopefully you'll enjoy the video nevertheless! UPDATE: I am also aware of the one part repeating from 2:23 to 3:15 and cutting another part off, but I can't really do anything to that anymore as the timelapse file is so broken already :")

[@heavenly54-]

+WolFirry Your art is really amazing I will give it a 1,0000 😀!

[@crinabs]

WolFirry OMG ur so talented :)

[@crystaldraws4506]

WolFirry OMFG I AM IN LUV WITH THIS YOU ARE SOOO TALENTED!!!!

[@funkybongo7206]

WolFirry it's ok but still this is amazing! You did a wonderful job and I hope your art is the thumbnail. Keep up the good work!

[@nugeneho1387]

WolFirry can u do something like a tutorial to show us and Wat program u use?

[@rainecloud8324]

This is the best warrior cat art I have seen! The stars on their heads are not like any star you put on Firestar's head, I've never seen it before, it's so unique and original. And the way you put the detail to make the colors blend and make them look like real cats!

[@cryptidofthemarshes1680]

No, all of them have the mark on them. It's a star.

[@chaos9608]

It’s not the best Warrior Cats art ever, but it’s definitely on my top ten list of the best Warriors art.

[@aliced125]

WTF this is too damn amazing!!!! I love the lighting, the shading, the colors, the anatomy, the expressions (Leopardstar looks so... I can't even describe her expression it's so gorgeous and I also lack vocabulary in English but oh well) and I could go on about it forever but yeah, this is the work of a true artist. I'm stunned by your beautiful work.

[@aliced125]

Oh wait I found the word for Leopardstar... Desperate.

[@webbydraws]

Alice Divisia whats with me and finding you in every video i watch o.o

[@aliced125]

Well, Webby Draws, that's because I am VERY VERY active in the Warriors community on KZbin! I go on KZbin every day, I also comment a lot, and participate in long comment threads. I can't really blame you for finding me everywhere! XD

[@webbydraws]

[@enor9399]

WolFirry chu did Blackstars ears wrong, he has black ears

[@FirriApril]

Cannow AJ there were no strict design guidelines in this MAP so I took the creative freedom to add something of my own. And I since I like Blackstar's design more with white ears I made him that way ;)

[@sophiaschmidt286]

What time ?

[@herlocksholmes-uv5qw]

Omg I love how you showed the star's! I especially love how you drew the patterns~! Absolutely wonderful!

[@minatm5510]

Seeing Firepaw /fireheart / Firestar makes me sad because I just go back to when all of those great leaders were alive... Ex specially Firestar... 😢😭But They All died for something or in great honor... And they will always be in our hearts... Rest In peace

[@Iamme112233445566]

no hun leopardstar died from diabetes cause of too much suga' from tigerstar, do ya call that 'died in great honor'

[@arandomperson7141]

-wait they died? Fffffffffff-

[@themythicalneko9786]

Leaf star is not dead. But I thought that was bramble star so Oof.

[@Merlybirds]

This is soo amazing I really hope it gets chosen! (just so you know there's a part around 2:23 that keeps getting repeated until 3:15)

[@FirriApril]

Merly birds oh heckers what have you done again moviemaker! I didn't even notice that, but the file is so broken already that I cant really do anything to that anymore ;_;

[@Merlybirds]

Haha moviemaker sucks - I've had enough of my own problems to know this! Aww that's annoying, but it looks okay anyway :)

[@FirriApril]

yea moviemaker can be a pain in the ass sometimes. This is the first time I have this big problems with it :/ I'd have other programs too but despite them being technically a lot better editing programs they're not very handy for editing speedpaints so I still try to do it with wmm :")

[@Merlybirds]

I personally use Sony Vegas for editing, but not for speedpaints because for some reason it can't speed them up fast enough like wmm can!

[@Nifoxil]

WolFirry try gimp or pain l use gimp and paint l use paint to make a base and then l collor it at gimp

[@mallow6093]

Heh, I saw that, the little flash of the music you were listing to. I love 'The Room Where It Happens' too

Masterpiece Theater III

[@momewo]

screams because I found out a warriors movie is coming out

[@nataytaydoesgames2708]

HE SAID THERE WILL BE MANY FILMS YESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!

[@popsicIes]

WAIT THERE IS!?

[@ilikemackerel]

MollyMiracle I don't know I think I will like the books better. Also, it's gotta be a long movie considering that there are more books in this series than Harry Potter and the hunger games combined XD. So I just don't know if they can capture all of Erin hunter's awesomeness in one or a few movies. Oh well. That's just my opinion... (Plus it'll probably have to be for mature audiences considering the blood spill, betrayal, and every single brutal death Erin Hunter has released on us XD)

[@nataytaydoesgames2708]

RandomRainbowSlushy Yah that's true. I don't know how good of a choice live-action was for it, but if they get it right it could be awesome.

[@momewo]

RandomRainbowSlushy Yeah, I'm wondering if they're just gonna squeeze together all the separate series (The Prophecies Begin, The New Prophecy, etc.) into separate movies. I was also thinking about the blood thing and I'm thinking it's going to be PG-13. Just hoping they don't completely ruin it

[@missmangle7752]

Watching this made me have this nostalgic feeling that was indescribable. My heart kept fluttering and I felt sad, because I miss the old leaders and the forest, but I also felt happy because this reminds everyone of the forest and the cats that we have lost over the years. Not to mention THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!

[@brookehall7977]

Beautiful. The shadowing and the details. Ahh it just amazing

[@Anon-wq9te]

You did TallStar perfectly

It is one of my pet peeves when people add stars to the leaders but I just love the way you did it it’s not the full blown “⭐️” but more of a natural one. it’s simply beautiful.

[@isadorap7893]

also this is positively beautiful and if this isn't the thumbnail then it had better be damn good. you can just see all the stories that have never been told, smell the dusty leaves, feel the wind in your hair, the setting sun on your back. this is by far my favorite piece of warriors still art.

[@Anna-bx9qc]

[@badoinkyeeehaw]

Can you give me tips...? This. Is. Exactly. How. I. Want. To. Draw. It's perfect .o. I love tallstar and blackstar, and leopardstar's postition ouo I love this so much

[@straightuptrash5942]

I love the idea of 5 giants and i am a big fan of Whiskermoon. You are also PAWSOME. Do you have any tips for paper and pencil artists to get on a computor and to try to draw and animate

[@kristintucker9153]

Straight Up Trash draw traditionally then take a picture of it with really good lighting or it would look faded. Make a new layer and on that layer you then use the stabilizer tool to help make straighter lines and trace over your traditional. After that you want to make a third layer to make the first colors of the cats and a fourth layer for a chest color for editing purposes and then another for the eyes. After that make another layer for lighting and yet another for shading due to some apps only do one type per layer. And another to edit on top of the previous stuff unless you like it the way it is now. Hope this kind of helped

[@gloriakol1966]

leopardstars exspresion represents her perfectly since I'm the last few books she was alive she seems so depressed and like she had given up and i can't even like it's so perfect the way you captured that emotion

[@crazyrainbow8292]

not to be mean this is just my OCD talking but isn't blackstar just supposed to have one black paw, like I said I don't want to be mean your art is amazing and breath taking, and if I'm wrong I understand I haven't read the books in a couple months so I kinda lost some things

[@FirriApril]

Crazyrainbow 82 All of Blackstar's paws are black (if I can trust the wiki haha) but one of them has six toes and is therefore bigger. I think that was mentioned in the books and could be mistaken as him having one black paw because they were talking about just that one big one. Then again people do their own designs for the characters and for example many people draw Blackstar with black ears ^^

[@bush_kit]

It says in the books that he has enormous jet black PAWS
