- wanted to focus on dovepaw and how she was forced into a destiny, and how it caused her and her sister to become distant!
i tried to merge an old timey video game pallete and effects with a storybook style to match the music.

thanks for watching, i appreciate it a lot !
I know this video was like 6 years ago, but I'd like to say how much I appreciate it. Everyone paints Dovewing as a selfish narcissist who likes to rub her power in Ivypool's face when that's *nothing* like what happened. Ever since she first got her power she *hated* it for the main reason that it separated her from her sister. Ivypool was the one who always got so pissy about it, claiming that Dovewing just wanted attention. Dovewing made multiple attempts to sew their relationship back together and Ivypool snapped at her and ran off. Ivypool ran off at every confrontation and left Dovewing reasonably frustrated. But for some reason everyone claims Dovewing's selfish and bitchy? I fail to believe that anyone who claims such things has actually read the books. Don't get me wrong, I love Ivypool's character and I'm not trying to villainize her, but Dovewing shouldn't be villainized.
Literally!! The power of unreliable narrators and people who refuse to read the books is absolutely terrible
Edit but I feel very similar happens with Lionblaze. He isn't boring at all? People just choose to ignore him because he's a "blunt character with a huge ego" which I CANNOT see in his earlier arcs. He was scared of himself and Tigerstar, dreamt of killing his once closest friend and felt EXTREMELY bad about it shortly after, accidentally killed the ShadowClan deputy and was heavily traumatised. He had stuff going for him, people just choose to ignore it and follow the terrible Lionblaze propaganda that was going on a bit back.
@@musmeldyFR. NOT ENOUGH LIONBLAZE TALK. HES SO MESSED UP BUT ITS SO INTERESTING (messed up as in all the killing stuff, i like him tho)
@@poopyfart_lover EXACTLY !!!! I felt so bad for him when he killed Rowanclaw he was so afraid :(
@@musmeldyand his nightmare where he kills heatherpaw 😭
@@musmeldy I need to inform you that you singlehandedly made me rethink my entire view of Lionblaze. His chapters used to irritate me, but I completely see what you mean. Thank you
dovepaw rolling thunder mv you changed my life
no literally !!! i watch this video once a week this stuff is magical
SERIOUSLY OMFG
I’m so glad you did a PMV dedicated nearly entirely on Dovewing. Such aesthetic color pallet.
Dovewing may not be my favorite character(tho I do like her, especially after she broke up with Bumblestripe), but she doesn’t deserve the hatred that she gets from a massive portion of the fandom. People say that she was a ‘Hollyleaf replacement’ but forget that Hollyleaf not being part of the three is just as big and important to who she is as a character as much as Dovewing being Hollyleaf’s replacement is important to Dovewing’s character . Dovewing isn’t a Mary-sue. She’s a well intentioned character that is naive and somewhat childish at the start, and constantly faces growing and faltering relationships due to her standing as a member of the three.
PREACH
Crisadence THANK YOUUUU
Crisadence Thank you!!! Omg I swear if people don't get it! Dovewing is my favorite character, and I don't think she is Hollyleaf's replacement anyways! Its written in the stars that she's the third prophecied cat
I mean, she's probably one of my least favorite characters, but I mean, she's pretty good. I honestly think I just don't like her because Ivypool didn't, but she isn't a bad character.
Crisadence YES!! thank you!! I love dovewing
My god- everything about this is incredible. The thing that stuck out the most is that you drew each cat COMPLETELY differently! I don't read Warriors but I could tell these fellows apart very easily, which was nice for the narrative you were giving!! Also the editing is phenomenal, as are your choice of colors. Amazing!!
Why the world would you watch this if you don’t even know what actually happened in the books?!
Wish Star I don’t read the books, however, I still watch Nifty because of the incredible animation. I’m guessing it would be the same case with Flynn.
I think it's fine weather you read the book or not it's cool to not know the full story and perceive your own
Wish Star Because the animation is lovely, doi.
Wish Star Ummmmm because I like supporting fellow animators?.. also this is a pmv, which means nifty did draw everything. And they did a wonderful job, at that!
This is so incredibly well made!!
Why is this comment not getting attention lol
@@woltyandfriends382 after 4 years he got it
Sometimes I feel like no one can really capture the essence of Dovewing, her character, or her relationship with Ivypool. I'm glad someone finally could.
The replay button better prepare itself, because it’s about to get a beating.
Blackclaw 360 *kinky*
+Moo i chokED wtf
iRain cough *K I N K Y*
+Moo iM ACTUALLY WHEEZIMG OH MY GOD
Gosh, you leave your comment alone for a few seconds and you get people making your words sexual 😂
i've already said a lot about this but I HAVE to mention how perfect the effects are at 0:31 , it kind of puts you in dovepaw's position, where this destiny is rushing at her full-throttle and it's honestly kind of terrifying and overwhelming.
right??? omg this pmv is goddamn gorgeous
Ahh this pleases me so much. A PMV about Dovewing before she got too tangled with the prophecy and Tigerheart. I really love how you approached this, because instead of putting the attention of Dovewing's life where there's a lot of discussion and arguement, you instead made the focus of this delightful PMV before, when she was still young and discovering her special power and the start of the rift of her and Ivypool's relationship. I love the story-book and game-ish look to the animation, it's just simply imaginative and shows what creativity you're capable of. To be honest, I was surprised of the styles of the cats, yet, although I found them slightly strange at first, I found them more appealing each time I rewatch this PMV. The way each character is styled and displayed, tells a lot about their personality. Jayfeather is thin and wears an almost annoyed/serious expression on his face, and to the viewer, that is his usual attitude. Lionblaze looks buff and strong, yet in some scenes he almost looks like a gentle giant. Also how you displayed Yellowfang telling Dovewing about the prophecy is just really awesome, the lion following after the jay and the screen rumbling as the lion passes Yellowfang, then the dove's feather falling in front of Dovewing, signalling she's the Dove's Wing and the third cat in the prophecy. At 1:11 I was confused at why Dovewing's eyes and ears were shown, I thought it was just because, but after my third time watching the video, it's suppose to represent her sense, her inner sight seeing and hearing. How detailed and realistic her eyes and ears were were also brilliant! You're going to do great things in the future!
thanks for the comment, im so glad you liked it ; ;
hope i wont disappoint in the future!
Ahhh!
This video has such a unique style to it! And it works so well with the song choice!! Plus it gives such a different look to little Dovepaw's struggle. You managed to fit so much into this, your brilliance really shines through here!
Nifty, wow, this turned out fricken incredible!! I'm blown away!!
Blixemi someone finally portrayed the truth unlike how you twisted the perspective in walking with the stars and made Dovewing seem like a terrible sister when really it was the other way around. I’m surprised you even said she had a struggle, I thought that you believed she as a Mary-Sue.
Despite the fact that I don’t agree with a lot of the things on your channel, just wanted to say that I respect you as an artist and as a talented individual. Not many have creativity to write and sing sons.
*songs
The reason why walking with the stars was portrayed was because it was in Ivypool/Ivypaw's perspective. She thought that Dovewing/Dovepaw was showing off and didn't realize that Dovewing loved her.
LPS Torches Did you miss the entire part in OOTS where Ivypool thought Dovewing was a terrible sister.... aka the entire arc........... because it was one of the central conflicts of the series .......
Ivypool’s perspective or not, the song kept repeating that Dovewing “pushed her away” and “left her” and that she was being blind to Ivypool’s problems when really, Dovewing was constantly concerned about Ivypool and was at her side through thick and thin even when Ivypool rejected her. She was devastated to find out her sister was training at the dark forest and tried to convince her not to but Ivypool refused to listen. So personally, I think Blimex did not capture the truth of the relationship between the two sister correctly and I hope everyone is mature enough to respect MY OPINION.
As a gamer and a warriors fan I find this to be the most amazing thing on the Internet.
bluejay11 same
Same
I love how the eyes are golden-green mixed so it goes into two of 3 Dovewing eye colors XD
Really though, this is amazing. I love the way you draw everybody, especially Jayfeather. 👌
I see you everywhere ;A;
I can't believe I found you here ;0;
I really like the symbolism at the end with Ivypool looking back at her sister, but only sees hawkfrost, and Dovewings view of ivypool being obscured by Lionblaze and Jayfeather.
0:31 is my favorite part 💕
Minty Bliss me too
Me too
Minty Bliss me too but do i see a wild daniel howell ????
nikiii indeed, the phandom truly dwells everywhere
very true haha
woah. just WOAH.
This holds so many emotions, you can really feel dovepaws distraught and ivypaws confusion. this is absolutely breathtaking
Oh wow, this is absolutely incredible! It definitely suits Dovepaw, especially how she was forced into a prophecy that ruined her relationship with her sister, which no one really thinks about when they address Dovepaw.
Been SO EXCITED to see this and it didn't disappoint! I lvoe it so so much and I love the style you went with for it. Amazing stuff Jess Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa gosh the colors in this are just. So so nice.
I love how you gave the words shadows as if they were actually in the world and not just a caption.
I'm still dazzled by the absolute stylishness of this
Oh my god
If you think about it, Dovepaw doesn't usually recieve amvs (except for her relationship with Tigerheart)
And this is so well done! every frame fits perfectly, and the song was a good choice
You didn't fall into the cliches in which other amvs fall, but I didn't expect less of you Nifty ;3
OMG SO
I LOVE THE EDITING
I LOVE THE IDEA
I LOVE THIS CARTOON STYLE
I LOVE BACKGROUND
I LOVE YOU THIS SONG
I LOVE COLORING
I LOVE SHADING
I LOVE ALL
what the hell this is so gORGEOUS??
I love this so much. The fandom is so full of Ivypool and how she feels cast out by her sister, that we never really get to take a deeper look into Dovewing's side of things. It's refreshing, far from the usual Dovewing and Ivypool content. Thank you.
1:11
WHOA OKAY
THE SUDDEN ART STYLE SHIFT LEGIT GAVE ME CHILLS??
still one of the most amazing work of art i’ve ever laid my eyes on. thank you for introducing me to the song, and for the beautiful artwork 💗
3 years later and this video is still amazing
Honestly this is stunning and super unique. I loved how you portrayed Dove's perspective. And your style!!! oh my goodness! it really compliments the editing and the whole flow of the video! great job nifty!
This was absolutely stunning!!! The it was so unique and I love the video game-esque feel of it. And as someone who's second favorite character is Dovewing, can I just say how refreshing it is to see a video focus on her and her struggles with the prophecy for once and not be all about her sister? I adore Ivypool but no one EVER seems to do any videos for Dovewing.
Your art style is as beautiful as ever btw. I swear there's not a single thing you do that isn't gorgeous!
Holy fuck i can’t believe this was 2 years ago. Man time flies
I know right!! I remember watching this while doing math homework! Feels like only a couple months ago!
1:42 im sorry xD
*Meanwhile theve slaughtered the caaake~*
Me: *Imagines cats going savage on cake*
Current objective : kill the cake
Woah... this looks so professional! The backgrounds are so well made and you managed to show emotions in scenes really well with the lighting!
Definetly one of my favourite works you've made!
This gave me nostalgia to middle school when i was obsessed with warriors and kinda made me sad tbh
I was obsessed with warriors through ages 8-10. This honestly kind of gives me nostalgia
Sad+happy at the same time I'm confused??
rainy yeah same
HUH OH MY WOW nifty this is increadable AAAA QUQ I FREAKING MISSED YOU AND YOU COME BACK WITH SOMETHING ABSALUTLY ASTONISHING Q0Q great work AAA I love your art style you did a great job with this qwq
I love the palette! It's so soft on the eyes. Also, YOU UPLOADEDDDDD.
i watched this video when it came out and i genuinely think about it constantly. love love love this pmv
I -like- *LOVE* How you gave Warriors that old but naturalistic tone that cats living in the forest have! Not like most MVs I see where the cats seem like they’re part of a high school musical. This gives Warriors a personality I feel I’ve been missing since I stoped reading the books. This makes me want to continue reading the series ♡
This is the best thing ever!
I love the pixel/retro old game style!
I love how it focuses on dovewing instead of Ivypool, but she still has a part in it!
It looks really professional! And I really love it and all the ways you draw different body types so all the cats look different!
Oh my! I remember seeing the wips for this. It came out amazing as always. The game's effects turned out to give it a even more catchy aspect.
Keep this amazing work :3
this is like my favourite video of all time ivr probsbly watched this thing like 100 times i love it so so much
The lineart feels so clean but so sketchy at the same time hnsjfbgb-
Wayyyyyyyyy out of my warrior cats phase however i still love coming back to this & will forever appreciate the introduction to the song
THE BACKGROUNDS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL OML
i want to thank nifty for introducing me to crying ((the band that made the song))
who would've thought id still be a fan of them 5 years after finding this amazing vid thru my warrior cats phase
IT'S JUST A DIVINE STYLE AND ALL THE WORK DONE IS INCREDIBLE
Save me Dovepaw rolling thunder mv, Dovepaw rolling thunder mv save me
I love how we almost never see ivypools face, her back is always turned to the screen and when we do see her face, it’s a worried look.
This turned out so incredibly lovely! The old video game feel is great and the effects work so well. Love it!
This song is so good and it really fits this, i don't know if it was intentional but i loved the way you made it kinda look like the green-ish collor pallet of the gameboy
I LOOKS LIKE AN HD REMAKE OF A RETRO VIDEO GAME CUTSCENE. Also the part where it zooms over her and into the field was so well done!
Its 2020 and I'm still kinda freaked out by how good this is.
I get chills every time I watch it around 1:11!! The visuals paired with the song are just phenomenal, I could gush about everything from the color palette and art style to the timing and composition and on and on! Thank-you for making this, watching this has such an emotional response for me, and I'm excited to have been introduced to Crying's music and want to read more Warriors, too (I've only read the first series for the most part, so I don't know much about Dovepaw's character beats yet). I may be lacking some context, but I still think it's really cool and moving that you made this!!
This is fucking fantastic, the editing, the diversity of the characters, the matching colors- I’m actually in awe
This was another warrior video that got recommended to me that I just never clicked because of 1. I stopped reading so I don't know anything really of Dovepaw (minus what I see in animatics and maps) and 2. the style just didn't catch me from the thumbnail for whatever reason. It happened to autoplay randomly while I was going through videos and I happened to look over. ...I am so sorry I didn't give it a chance before then. When I realized it was Nifty who impressed me with the last video I'd overlooked I really started watching.
Everything in this video is so POLISHED. Not in the conventional sense but its all for a reason. That color palette,the use of the almost 8bit static lines in the back. Omg, it's beautiful. I normally wouldn't like the odd look to the cats as its kind of the go-to just see a normal kind of cell shaded look but every character has so much personality and choice put into their shapes and it adds so much to ech one. The use of your effects and editing never take us out of the video it only draws us in more. Some of my personal favorites are 00:27 to 00:36. Its just a gorgeous trasnition and you have reallly taken the cut outl ook (I don't know the actual term for this style of animation) and really perfected it. The moment between 01:14 to 1:24 is also so great, from the original use of perspective and camera movement to really make your eyes pop and flow with the video. To the effective use of text that interacts with the character, the look of sadness as she's looking up at the clouds followed by the rotated words was such a small a nuisance touch that doesn't go unnoticed.
Nothing looks weird or takes you out of the video where you think to yourself 'would have been better if that part was fully animated' it all just flows. Another amazing thing about this is the amount of detail in your backgrounds. If this had been cutout backgrounds or something odd it wouldn't have worked as well. Backgrounds are important to practice and it shows that you've put some intense work into them. You did a beautiful job on this, the style of usage was a great choice and knowing the style you used in your Bluestar video, it was refreshing to see something so different from you. Your work is really inspiring and I am making sure I see everything you do from here on out, hell I want to see everything you do from here on. You've got a crazy good mind for editing and animation and timing and lighting and... it is really nice to see. I've been in a drawing rutt and trying to kick my ass out of it, I want to watch you more because your work makes me remember why I love art so much. Well, I've vomited onto the internet enough for today time to check out your patreon.
P.s: Don't know why but I really love Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hawkfrosts designs in this. They are super unique and something about Jay makes me love him even more than the last time I read him in the original power of three books before I stopped.
P.S.S: Like I need a playlist of your music taste cause I've now found two amazingly moody type songs (Probably not the best description) from you and I love them both
S0LS1S thanks so much for the giant comment and compliments, I’m really glad you liked the video and it makes me super happy you noticed a lot of the bits I personally like the most from the video as well ;;
I thought of this again today and went mad tearing through my playlists trying to find it 💞 glad I did
I am absolutely speechless. This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, and really shows a very different side of Dovewing and how she isn't just the prissy jerk that many Warriors fans make her out to be. Fabulous work Nifty, I can't wait to see what else you do!
Rewatcving this from the future and this is still so good omg!
Broooo every time you upload, I'm in awe. You're always doing something different with style, which is hard to do for a lot of people. Fabulous.
Y'know, this prophecy can be known for two things.
Being really old and not making any sense, or taking away the prophesized cats' sisters.
By far my favorite PMV. It's flawless.
I love the design, so creative, and the color palette is lovely too, what makes it pleasant to see.
The song fits Dovepaw perfectly.
I usually do not comment because of shyness, but I just had to say how stunning this masterpiece is. I'm a big fan of yours.
Very good job!
aaaaa its so beautiful!! the colors and the character designs are wonderful and i love the effects. the kinda retro aesthetic fits nicely with the song!
Jayfeather's eyes are love. Jayfeather's eyes are life
Ah man I’ve been anxiously awaiting this video, it’s sooo good!! I love how unique it is, and the music and style go together so well ;__; It really inspires me to make more... your Warriors stuff are always top notch!
This is so gorgeous!!! Everything is!! The transitioning, the storytelling theme, the color pallet, aahh its beautiful! You nailed the story how Dovepaw was forced into destiny, and your designs are just mmm. Phenomenal job!
this video was and still is one of my favorite pmvs in the fandom. this is amazing!
alsO *rolling thundaaaaaaaaa*
I LOVE THIS SONG
Oh my nifty,i killing button"repeat" 2nd hour.This is my favourite pmv!
1:15 is so satisfying to watch holy shittake mushrooms
agreed! I love how during the whole "my thighs are crafted, holy, rolling thunder" it blurs in and out of focus, like you're looking at a foggy memory. Seriously amazing cinematic work there.
im not a part of the warriors fandom anymore but i still come back to see this masterpiece
Everything about this is so beautiful. The style, the coloring, the movement- it’s amazing! One thing I especially love is the part where the text goes “someone’s got something to say” and then moves over for “how didja become this way?” The way everything is structured and framed out and how the text fades in color and then moves offscreen to make way for the next batch of text as Ivy speaks is just so beautiful and well thought out! Little moments like these really make this video shine. Effortless movement and style, I keep coming back to watch this again and again!
also, the part where it says “forget the numbers” and the text shifts to a shadow for the repeat is so beautiful I could cry
Who would have the nerve to dislike this beauty
Everyone makes jokes about how Dovewing just flexes her powers, but remember she had no choice! Lionblaze and Jayfeather forced her into it. She had no choice!
backat iT AGAIN WITH THE EPIC PMVS
i love how distinct the characters look, your art style and colour palette is so appealing to look at too!
IM SOBBING THIS IS SO GOOD I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO EXPLAON
Love the new style you worked in this time! The whole thing was incredibly creative ❤❤❤
The thing I struggle with most is character design, how on earth do you do it?? It’s amazing how you can draw them so differently and it’s so easy to tell who is who... another amazing work, I love it!! :’)
when the "rolling thunder" part comes it is just... goosebumps
amazing
love this video
I cannot overstate how much I love this video
I really like the character designs! They give off such a nice feel of the characters, and they each look individually unique! And the expressions, gAwD they're amazing okay? I loved the shading too *rambles more and more* anyways, amazing job like usual, nifty!!
1:43 Top Ten Anime Betrayals
LOL
Did you just do what I think you did?
Holy cow this is amazing!? I can tell you worked really hard on this and the transitions are buttery smooth not to mention that pallete is beautiful. Great work Nifty! Glad to see you posting some more amazing masterpieces :^)
It looks like you had so much fun with this! God's blessed you with so much creativity, Nifty! You go dude!
OMG i love how this shows how difficult it was on DOVEWING and how it was kinda forced on her making her abandon her own sister, but in my opion Ivypool was justbeing a petty spoiled brat and wanting to become more than her own personality.
akt animations AGREED!!!
yeah she was just jealous and thought being mean will make her ''cooler'' than dovewing, ivypool was just like a school bully, being mean to those ones who try to actually comfort her and make her feel comftable with who she was, and ''gentle'' towards those who told her she was completely right and supported her hate ideas toward dovewing, which wasn't even guilty of recieving her powers.
Thank you!!! I don’t hear that nearly enough, she’s also kind of controlling with Dovewing’s relationship with Tigerheart. Sometimes I like fan versions of Ivypool but the cannon version drives me up a wall
This was edited so fantastically! I loved every second of it!
Amazing work! I love how unique it looks with the Video Game Style!
This is so amazing! I love the art, and I love that it looks like a video game.
Wow. I’m just astounded by how aesthetically pleasing and amazing all this looks! This song definitely fits
5 years, and this is still amazing
I'm in love with how you drew each cat differently! It really enhanced the experience of watching another of your amazing videos!
This is one of the most gorgeous videos I've ever watched Nifty. I'm actually crying like omgg ?? This is so good !! Keep doing well !! Love ya 💕💕
I love the game-like design and the art and song is amazing!!!! YESSS
This is so great!! You portrayed all the characters perfectly, and the song choice was fantastic! I love how you've been recently making these PMV projects, showing how much heart and effort you put into your work! I know the pain of trying to finish a project, and making time to work on it, and I highly appreciate your ability to do that! And I thank your patrons as well for supporting such a hardworking person!!
holy shit!!! i know this song!! i listened to it acouple years ago constantly, and i was so surprised it wasnt popular.
omg another person who likes this song!! have you heard any of her other stuff?
I’ve watched this maybe five times since I first saw it today; my mind keeps cycling back to it. The style you chose for this video is amazing, I love the video game feel, and the structure and character design is amazing. Beautiful job!!
THIS IS JUST A SUPER DUPER-DESIGNED VIDEO, I'M INCREDIBLY SURPRISED THAT I DIDN'T SEE IT BEFORE！
i love how different the cats look!! like the combination of shapes you use for them really show body types well and GAHH ITS SO GOOD
I don't think I can fully express my adoration for this video. I've shared it with friends who knows Warriors, friends who don't but are in the art community and friends who are not both because hOLY STARS THIS THING IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. That panning when it was at "Rolling Thunder". Holy stars above I want to express how much I love that scene but there are hardly any words I can use that can show it's full extent.
RRROLLLLIINNGU THHHUNNNDAA- okay is that just me?
_quietly leaves the room and ventures back into the shadows_
Sometimes I like to go back to your earliest videos and come to this and be amazed at how much your style has changed, and how you've improved
Couldn’t expect anything less than amazing from you
