The Raging Storm aftermath(Sleekwhisker and Dawnpelt)

[@StarrChild.]

This is such a beautiful idea. Especially when it's always implied (or fandomly accepted) that sleekwhisker helped drown her own mother. Most portray it as she was ruthless with no care but I LOVE the detail and concept that it would mentally mess with her. Because let's be honest, it probably would to anyone. Such an amazing idea.

[@highcat7184]

Would have been nice to see a more human side to sleek whisker Like watching her slipping away from her facade of intimidation and power To see her break with guilt over everything she's done To have her doubt her belief's and the work she put towards them The Erin's wasted this charcter She could have gone on to be her own villan with her own arc after darktail's demise To be a smaller villan completely withered away by her past deeds And could do something like vow to continue on her wretched path because it's too late to turn back and it's all she's ever known

[@StarrChild.]

@@highcat7184 Erin's always waste character potential tho

[@Sparkle8205]

@@StarrChild. or straight up ruin it after their original arc is done *stares at firestar*

[@kinrateia]

I always wished for Dawnpelt to show more emotions about her daughter becoming a freaking murderer and joining a freaking cult

[@cloudpuff4577]

Freaking yes is what this video is

[@jjsstikbotvideos4421]

right, and not only a murderer, but helping murder HER. Her own mother😭

[@bluesheep7]

Why we never saw Sleekwhisker again? This animatic shows perfectly that she has potential!

[@lzrshark617]

You know the Erins; any character who has significant potential for development or conflict is either barely tapped into or straight-up ignored. *cough* Feathertail's development in her new manga should have happened in the ACTUAL BOOKS WHERE SHE WAS ALIVE, not in a SIDE BOOK 8 YEARS LATER and I will DIE on this hill *cough*

[@sublithium]

@@lzrshark617 Lmao I think it'll build up Leopardstar's character in the manga too

[@kittycoke666]

Maybe she’ll return in the new arc

[@anoushkashenoy692]

they’re probably building her up to be a main villain later. they wouldn’t just forget about her without a return.

[@beastmaster0934]

TotallyTubular I’d love to see that. She appears as a ghost and rips Ashfur out of Bramblestar and starts beating the tar outta him.

[@catbaby7122]

sometimes i think the warrior cats fandom have way better content than the books 💆‍♀️

[@brookecravescookies883]

Bro honestly I completely agree with this

[@raiivenwastaken]

catbaby Honestly I complete agree. I’ve gradually lost interest in the books just cause I don’t find reading them as fun anymore, but dang does the fandom have some amazing stuff! :D

[@vixanspectre]

Lol TRUE!

[@febefox5930]

You’d be correct in thinking that

[@saturniiiidae]

I just use non canon things that could pretty easily fit as canon and pretend their real and it keeps me reading the newer books... And every time I finish a book I go straight to the fandom and see what they have to say about it. Keeps things more interesting. I feel like warriors isn’t as good. When I first read them it was magical in some way, now I feel like it’s losing that magic. I hope they make newer series that can bring that magic back. I had really high hopes before re reading the series because of all the awesome MAPs and PMVs and was disappointed when I actually re read it and I kinda ruined it for myself... yeah.

[@mirrepoix]

this is straight up incredible and chilling. a relationship the erins did very little to touch on: i never thought much about these two when reading the books but now it's got my head buzzing. love the expressions in this, you always convey emotion so well

[@sedateddreams4254]

I love this! As a big fan of both Atla and Warriors it’s great to see two of my favorite things together haha. Also I really like how you had Dawnpelt appear in the water reflection to mimic how Ursa appears in her mirror, but how it also has a deeper/more morbid meaning too, considering the fact that Dawnpelt died from drowning...

[@dragonstouch1042]

SedatedDreams and it’s applied/accepted Sleekwhisker helped do the deed

[@SharkyPopTart]

Same, just finished the last episode of ATLA and thought that this fits with warriors perfectly. I hope they bring Sleekwhisker back because she was a good female villain!

[@emmkratka5256]

Headcanon actepted ✅

[@starkling]

Sad machine: this animatic is a mess Me, nodding and taking screenshots to put up in the Sistine Chapel: yeah uh huh completely

[@SharkyPopTart]

Lol same

[@swiggityswooty2720]

What's this? Shinning a light on sleekwhisker's and dawnpelt's mother daughter relationship? Something the books never really did? You're doing gods work zenka, once again you never cease to amaze me. Artstyle and designs are just heaven sent❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏

[@winifreyd]

Seeing this now really makes me wanna see an au where sleekwhisker comes back mad and her brother strikestone has to put an end to her

[@orionfujiwara]

the expressions are sooo fantastic in this. my favourite parts are sleekwhisker combing her fur and the reflections in the water. i don't know the characters well but i know enought to know how purrfect a fit this is. way to go zenka it turned out awesome!

[@InterstellarKip]

omg azula and sleekwhisker...what a perfect match. i would have loved to see this much depth to sleekwhisker explored in the books, but you did such a good job of capturing and expanding on her character!

[@vixxdaemon3874]

YES THANK YOU I would rather imagine that, despite common fandom belief, Sleekwhisker, deep inside, knew her mother loved her. And despite not showing anything, killing her own mother would fuck her up later and she would have to live with that thought for the rest of her life. I cannot imagine her being a heartless being with no mental repercussion after what she's done whatsoever.

[@oliveyeen]

bROO my parents and i are literally watching avatar! we're close to the ending and azula's mental breakdown!!! it warms my heart to see two of my childhood faves put into it man!!!

[@alyssabullock6421]

Honestly, it'd sure be nice if Sleekwhisker came back and she felt regret for what she did. She basically became so clingy to her evil crush who's dead now, and she helped drown her mother and childhood friend for not being in favor of killing a kit... She's a character that makes me feel bitter and I'd be so satisfied if she came to find a sense of guilt for her actions.

[@song8874]

I’m only 41 seconds in but I’m already in love with it! Your art style is amazing and your storytelling is flawless!!

[@Ari_A1357]

Is it bad that I forgot Sleekwhisker was Dawnpelt’s daughter 😅 Great animatic btw love the expressions and tension! I just finished watching ATLA for the first time too

[@holygaia5938]

Its not bad at all they books just discarded their relations entirely which actually is a a bit sad

[@brookecravescookies883]

Yeah I didn’t know dawn was her mother until kinda putting two and two together

[@negativedawn136]

Welcome to the ATLA fandom new fan :D

[@caitlyn_drawz8397]

This gave me so much chills, I can honestly see this being canon. I really hope Sleekwhisker comes back in the later books. Keep doing amazing works like this! ❤️

[@anemone9325]

THIS FITS SO WELLL AAAAAAA, tysm for making this!

[@AGR04]

don't make me feel bad for Sleekwhisker nooooo

[@vixanspectre]

This audio from the scene, "Avatar: The Last Airbender", fits so perfectly with these two characters because Sleekwhisker is Dawnpelt's daughter and Dawnpelt is her mother.😲👍

[@maplehoneii5404]

Seems like Sleekwhiskers reality to me I love this so much btw! Your art is so pretty ahh

[@JackieFungal]

This is absolutely stunning and the audio went so well. Thank you for telling a story the books didn’t 💜

[@grimmcorvid5713]

Man ive rewatched this so many times. I love it.

[@thecattking]

I feel like this is Sleek'Whiskers thoughts mixed with her own memories as she trys to heal from the fact she helped to drown her mother.

[@asizaart7457]

This is so good, I can't stop watching it! 😍

They always ask where’s Sleekwhisker never how’s Sleekwhisker.

Azula (or whoever her voice actress is) is my headcanon voice for Sleekwhisker.

What is it called?

[@claudiothewarrior]

Amazing!

[@AshStarProductions]

What’s the name of the soundtrack at the end? I totally forgot it and I’ve been looking and I can’t find it

[@user-py2fb8je5b]

I have no idea why but if Sleekwhisker came back I want her to be like a anti-hero like she knows what she have done in the past but to some cats she is a villain and maybe try to be a good she-cat and friend

[@flurrypawz]

Sleek whiskers canon voice

[@PokemonkaDub]

Hello, would you be okay if me and my team used this animatic (with propper credit and links ofcourse!) to make a polish fan-dub of the scene using cat's names? :3 We already did one scene from Rose's Warriors animation if you'd interested to see the quality of our work (with author's permission!).

[@tjtheentertainer9376]

I was thinking of doing a Wings of Fire version of this scene from ATLA. If u wanna vote for it, check out my poll on DeviantArt. My account is Gleamingstar2018 if u wanna check out my art
