True North [Warrior Cats OC PMV]

The full summary can be read here:
toyhou.se/~literature/35100.t...
QUICK NOTICE: This isn't a MAP! Most of the work was done by just me, but I had assistance on some scenes, which are credited in the end credits. But it's not a MAP, most is just my work ^^;;
After around a quarter of a year's work, True North is here. The symbol of me moving onto doing mostly original non-fandom projects, lovingly being a fusion of fandom and original creation - My Warrior Cats fanclan.
A special thank you to the artists who so generously helped me out for this giant project. Here's their channels:

Wanna find out what happened to Wolfstar after his murder? I've written a oneshot of that scene for you guys who wanted more of these characters! toyhou.se/~literature/63306.true-north-yawning-grave

The most interesting part of this story is how in depth the politics and history is. It’s connected to all the conflict and characters. How the very history shapes the character and the story. It’s amazing.

[@morningglory.2]

This is incredible. The linework, designs, characters and everything are so fantastic. I ADORE Windchaser, Lionheart, and Silver! The atmosphere and music make it feel so unique. I can't stop watching this, seriously, it's the best Warriors fan story I've seen and the three clans are a really good metaphor for humanity- they fight and have many issues but can still help each other when they need to. The messed-up leadership is great too. Thanks so much for making this!

In the description the artist has an explanation of the entire story. And yes, you are correct on your analysis of this being an emotional PMV.

[@hawksongshelby7072]

Same! UWU

[@chrisspiegel2183]

This is way more unique than all my Warriors OCs combined

[@soloratiste]

don't be down on yourself, i'm sure yours are plenty unique! besides, it's fine to not be unique so long you're just having fun with your characters!

[@chrisspiegel2183]

It's basically the same thing. There are five clans, one got driven out, there's a ”Power of Three”, nothing unique about it.

[@chrysalisshard3189]

Oh my gosh I would love to see this as a animated series

[@soloratiste]

ha ha ha ha, i don't think i'd survive /that/ amount of work that would be needed... but the sentiment is appreciated!

You could ask people for help with the animations🤔

Yes I agree. This could be like an animation series. Plus u can ask people for help with voice acting.

SOLO......... HOLY CRAP....... Ok, ive been seeing the progress of this for a few months, so to see this completed is amazing!!!! Second, this is absolutely gorgeous. Every frame is a work of art, truly. The subtle animation is so pleasing, and every frame is so full of emotion. The amount of work youve put into your characters and their backstories is incredible and makes for an extremely interesting story. Really every part of this is just *chefs kiss* MASTERPIECE congrats for finishing this solo!! Excited to potentially see more of these characters and the world you’ve created for them. ❤️❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕💕💕❤️💕

[@honeybuzz699]

Bro, I can't thank you enough. After I saw this I got inspired to make my own oc stories and characters (sadly no oc clans yet). The stories are meant to be stupidly dramatic and entertaining. I'm currently writing Badger`patch's story, the most dramatic of them all. If you want to hear it, you can contact me on my Discord if you like, Poofle uwu#1144 . I hope you continue to make great content!

[@PuppyKai]

Literally I was letting youtube play random songs of playlist while I was playing Monster Hunter the other day, then this pops up, and I can't you not, I spammed the song, then read the summary, and started to love this video even more. This is probably one of my favorite pmv's, not only the story is good, but it fits well with the story vibe, and the characters are so amazing. I think my favorites are Windchaser and PigeonFeather. Thank you so much for making this video exist, I'm surprise this is underrated

[@obsessivenoodle8388]

AAAAAAA THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!! Seriously, I’ve fallen in love with these characters already- Lowkey wanna draw them now oof But wowwwwww- I watched it, just had to read the summary, and watched it again and again- and again! It’s just so beautiful and well put together

[@thenyancatminecart2214]

As someone with a ton of Warriors OCs that I'm really passionate about... this is truly an inspiration. So much hard work clearly went into these well-thought-out characters and carefully-planned lore. It puts a smile on my face. You and the friends who helped with this did absolutely amazing. I've given up on my dream of becoming an animator (it just isn't my thing), but animations like these inspire me to keep writing and loving my OCs. Keep up the wonderful work!

[@nickifox5595]

When watching the animation I was like “Oh how cool I love OC Warriors” then after reading the plot and how everything comes together. MAN. This is probably the best Warriors OC story I had ever come across. If you made this into a story to read I would completely down for it! Amazing job!!

[@ColdRising]
