Is this the longest WoF map? I think this is the longest WoF map. It's longer than "This is War" and "Life is fun". Even without the thumbnail and parts at the end it's over 5 minutes. I'd imagine that is why there were rendering problems! But truly, if you cut this in half, it would be two of the top ten maps, but together, this is an over packed demonstration of the wide range of styles and talents that the WoF community has to offer, and I couldn't be more proud of what everyone has been able to make, and the editors that are able to put it all together.
Arctic had it unfair, there's no doubt about it. He was born with a gift-turned-curse that his evil power-hungry mother/queen would keep him slaved for her own desires to exploit. He would be put in an arranged marriage with someone who simply satisfied his mother's tastes and not his own. He was going to live an empty life that would be decided for him, so one day he tried to run away with someone who would make him happy. But society didn't want that. The whole kingdom tried to force him back with the system. The only way to escape misery was by taking desperate measures. He used his power to help him run away at any cost, but the price was devastating. He committed a horrible action in a moment of panic and desperation that was never forgiven or explained. And just like that, a simple misunderstanding led to a war that would last for 2000 years before truly being settled. On top of that, the impact of his accident would never heal, and his soul would never be at peace. Quite a tragic story... but what would have happened if Arctic didn't leave the IceWings? What if he was still happy? What if he lived a satisfying life and never ran away? In the distant future, Pyrrhia would not be as glorious as it is. There would be two possible outcomes. Either the IceWings would one day decide and succeed to overrun the other tribes and take over the rest of the continent with their many generations of animus gifts, or the Nightwings would do the same with their many generations of trained mindreading and futureseeing powers. Arctic's actions actually kept both tribes at bay. Because of him the IceWings no longer had any animus dragons, and because of his son the NightWings no longer had any dragons with OP powers. Neither tribe ever ended up having too much power to tip the balance. Artic may have done things he regretted for himself and the world he knew, but in the long run, he saved the seven tribes of Pyrrhia. His misery was not in vain after all.
The IceWings do have animus' though. They've just been enormously unlucky for the thousands of years. You can't just wipe out the royal bloodline- they all have the gene. Just something I find interesting :3
I feel like Arctic needs more attention. He went through so much, feeling the pressure of his cruel mom weighing down on him, and his tribe not letting him love who he wants. And the fact where his cousin Snowfox is so terrible to him. That’s why this forced Arctic to believe the superiority of his tribe, making him look down on Darkstalker, thinking Whiteout is strange and literally enchanted her to go back to the ice kingdom. Arctic and Foeslayer fought a lot, then he was mentally getting attacked by his mother, then he went crazy and got mind controlled by his own son, making him rip himself. Arctic had a horrible life, if only his and Foeslayer’s family had settled down, I bet they would have had a happy life, especially Darkstalker and Whiteout, and that Darkstalker could happily marry Clearsight when they were older. Arctic was mentally abused, which spread that action on his son. So he really needed comfort.
Diamond being terrible cause Arctic’s death, Snowflake’s injury, Darkstalker becoming cruel, the nightwing and IceWing war, the animus bloodline being wiped from IceWing genetics, Arctic being abusive and Darkstalker being transformed
I always loved Arctic as a character, his past regrets made him a dragon who made a lot of mistakes and hurt people even tho at first he only wanted freedom. This MAP seemed as an incredible idea at first and it didn't disappoint me! I'm so happy I could be a part of this and be among us all great animators
DUUUDEEEEE THIS IS GORGEOUS! Everyone did so amazing! All the parts blend so well together, and the amount of motivation, communication, and determination is awesome!! The concept of this is beautiful! Congrats to Drobot for winning the thumbnail!!! 💓💖💞💝😱😱 Thanks, Ebony, for hosting this beautiful MAP! One of my favorites - and thank you for letting me participate! 💝💞✨
God, this hit me in the feels hard Like, holy crap this is good, I love it, but there's a lot of emotion behind it. I personally really liked Arctic, despite all the stuff he did. Yeah he was kind of a terrible parent and was super defensive about stuff and definitely had some anger problems, but he did at least try, and in Darkstalker's book it did say he loved Foeslayer, which is why he left with Whiteout. I definitely say he didn't deserve that fate, though it is what it is, and y'know what, I think I could really see a situation like this MAP showed happening in whatever afterlife the dragons go to Really loved the video though, keep up the great stuff. All of you guys, not just Ebony
@@QueenJeweltheDJ I've been using firealpaca for past 3 years (it's for pc and its free) but rn I'm switching to clip studio paint. I only started using it few days ago tho (you have to pay for that program tho)
This looks wonderful - I'm so glad it came together so nicely!! Fantastic job to everyone, it's so wonderful to be part of another complete MAP! Thanks for hosting Ebony :) I also really love how you made the credits like the "screens" in the MAP!
Wait... Does the ending mean that since Darkstalker is turned into Peacemaker he erased Arctic from his mind and so this means that his life was completely useless?
Well, his efforts weren't exactly worthless but they did much more harm than good. The Icewings no longer have animus magic (which is a neutral thing on its own) but he inadvertently started a war and made Darkstalker so it wasn't useless but certainly not good (if there is anything else that I didnt include feel free to ask)
@@coffeewolf5789 yeah, but was getting rid of animus dragons in the Icewing Tribe that bad? And Darkstalker’s action prevented the Nightwings from becoming unstoppable, so in the long run, they both stopped two tribes who would’ve very well become problematic
I came up with an AU inspired by this: Instead of Arctic dieing, right before he dies Darkstalker enchants him to relive his crimes for a thousand years (key word is Thousand) and to live as long as Forslayer lives (as a punishment of knowing she's alive but not knowing where she is or who she changed into) but Arctic makes it through the thousand years of watching himself go insane, he realizes what he's done and changes but he goes crazy in a different way. One day, he suddenly wakes up, he gets up and it's been a thousand years, he's confused but he's not dead nor alive. He can fly around and touch objects but he can't interact with other dragons and he can't be hurt or healed (he has a scar on his stomach and his tongue is still gone but he can talk). He flies around, looking at how much things have changed but when he gets to the Ice Kingdom, he notices a strange thing called "The Diamond Trail" be brought up, he follows 2 dragons into the cave and then he sees Foeslayer. Darkstalker, had added something on top of the first enchantment realizing that Arctic could live longer then he had orginally thought which was that if Arctic saw Foeslayer or Darkstalker, that he would lose the ability to talk around them but also only be able to interact with them (Punishment of trying to talk but it's like you have your mouth sewn shut) Foeslayer is the only one at this time who can see him and tries to interact with him but she has to fight as well. A thousand years later, Foeslayer is saved by Winter and Arctic follows them, the story goes pretty much the same here except that Arctic takes Foeslayer to the Old Night Kingdom, and shows her the damage that Darkstalker is doing (Darkstalker doesn't know they're there) *This is just a brief summary but I'll add more details and explanations for it all later and also the reason why Darkstalker keeps Arctic alive is to torment him, and give him a fate worse then death but it backfires.*
I am going to CRY that was so good and immersive like on my lord! I seriously love how many parts transition so well into the next and the way it flows. (Also the part at 4:30 blew my MIND I gasped when watching it, it was incredible) it was such a great opportunity to participate in this, Ebony, your maps are always so thoughtful and exciting!
Alright holy carp.... seeing it all put together was immensely impressive! This has to be one of my favorite maps ever. It's an honor to even be in it, thanks for letting me particapate!
So at the end did Arctic end up erasing his memories, or did he end up erasing himself from the past, or the memories of his family and/or everyone who knew him? Edit: Or erasing their past together, so they'd only stayed apart, or just their memories together. Edit: I think he was actually erasing his memories, because from the start of the song he's laying down with a bunch of blue balls, then goes through his memories and 'erases' them, ending by laying down and the memories are the balls. Also another thing I noticed, Foeslayer fading away could symbolize her ending up being taken away but I feel like it also can symbolize they can't spend the afterlife together, at least at that moment because she wasn't actually dead. It might've even been her being woken up for a Diamond Trial
I think he was sort of detaching himself from the past and coming to terms with death, but idk. I guess the point is that its up to your interpretation.
@Emma Utterback Maybe but this MAP was Arctic focused, not Darkstalker focused, so it's unlikely that this was him connecting to Darkstalker to erase his memories, or it'd probably have Clearsight and Fathom and all them, not Arctic and Foeslayer. But good idea!
OH MY GOSHSHSHSHS- (oh my god, it's happening, everybody stay calm) This MAP is a masterpiece!! All the participants and thumbnail contest entrants did such an amazing job!! Each part and entry looks beautiful! Thank you so much, Ebony, for bringing up this idea and creating this MAP! (also tysm for letting me be a part of this project, never thought that it would ever happen) I think I just can't express how astonished I am by all the work everyone put into this project!! It's a little sad that it all came to an end, but still it's one of the most beautiful MAPs ever existed! Outstanding job!!
aaa no I missed the premiere ;-; my part (5:40) is half a year old at this point but IT TURNED OUT SO GOOD!! The animators clearly put so much hard work and time into their parts, the thumbnail entries were all beautiful, and the concept is so freaking amazing!! Even the little things like how the outro is made up of the little “memories” really make this MAP absolutely stunning, and everyone who had a part in it should be so proud. 💕💗
Oh my god- this MAP was amazing!! The song fits Arctic so well! I was very hyped up once I saw it go onto premier mode, and it was so fun to watch so now I just felt like I had to say that this is literally SUCH a creative concept! It definitely seems like an interesting headcanon/fanfiction of what went on in Arctic’s mind(?) after he died. I feel like just re-animating canon events, though it’s very great and all, just gets old, and that’s why it’s so cool to see more unique MAPs, where you get to see what’s going on in certain characters’ minds. Like this one, or in Peacemaker’s Echo, for instance. It’s just so creative! (This is way longer than I thought this comment would be oops) And also the fact that there’s almost FIFTY talented artists?!? Woah! Ebony’s art is amazing as always, Biohazardia’s was gorgeous, Lunala’s Mask’s art really stood out to me too (it sort of reminds me a bit of my own art style) since the emotions were all just captured so well! Fantastic job, everyone!
This had me close to crying, ngl. I love how Arctic is characterized here, and even though he was a factor in Darkstalker going mad, I can’t help but feel horrible for him in this MAP... Arctic was essentially left to rot away in the Night Kingdom, and forgotten as the years went by. That being said, everyone did such an amazing job capturing the emotion in each part. 💙
5:53 i swear this part is where diamond(or 2 icewing dragonets if diamond already killed her 40 times) broke her out of her curse to kill her again so thats why she fades away
Wow, this was so gorgeous. Every participant did so well like... I have never felt so inspired by such work! This community has grown so much and I am beyond proud of everyone!
MAAAN!!! It was so fun to work on this especially since there are so many talented artists. Thank you Ebony for giving me the chance to have a part in this! You did a fantastic job editing everything together and it’s so cool seeing everyone’s parts fit so well. Again, thank you for letting me join. It was fun
WOOOOOOOO!!! I’m happy to be a small part of this map!! I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT!!! AHHHHHHHHH AND THIS MAP IS NOW LEGENDARY!!! THAANK YOU EBONY FOR EVEN LETTING ME IN!!!
This is a absolutely wonderful map, and it is a wonder that you have been able to make two iconic MAPs (to the bone and this). Arctic has always been one of my favorite character, due to his personality and tragic backstory, and this map showed everything I wanted. It met up to wonderful standards, whatever you say about the editing, it’s awesome.
Omg, this looks amazing! Everyone parts flow together so well! I can tell that everyone put a lot of effort! The intro and outro looks really cool as well! The idea of the map was also really creative! This is probably one of the best maps I’ve ever joined! Thank you so much for letting me participate!
Dang, I missed the premiere! Again this is amazing, and in very impressed! Everyone did such an amazing job and it's very inspiring. Can we consider this map canon, cause it makes for a perfect story and build up for Arctic. The storyline is rigid and fits him perfectly.
!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAA IT TURNED OUT SO GORGEOUS!!!! thankyou for letting me have a part in this, the end result is so stunning and every animator did so well!
3:50 I like the reference to Undertale here, it shows Artic’s soul or some IceWing’s soul, a reference to Undertale souls, since this is an Undertale Genocide song.
I wish very much that Darkstalker looked through his father's memory, what he endured, what he suffered, what made Arctic what he was. Maybe he would have a better relationship with him. If he had known better about his dad.
This is really really good, honestly, the audio and animation, and how long the video actually is... it was completely worth the wait. Words can't describe how amazed I am with this, even the credits are good, most people don't like credits, I don't like the credits, but here I am watching them. This was really good! It diserves a spot in my downloads. Amazing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Congrats Drobot on winning the contest, your entry looks so beautiful as the thumbnail. All of your guys parts are amazing from what I've seen in the Playlist. Gonna be a great map
This all put together is AMAZING! The animation is so good! Everyone has a different, and awesome, art style, but that is the thing which makes it magnificent! THIS IS JUST AMAZING!
Ik I said it enough times on discord but I forgot to comment on this masterpiece. Everyone did so good i just can't stop watching it! Tui should have really gone into Arctic's backstory more instead of making him look like the worst dad in legends. (I never read runaways but I will soon,this kinda spoiled it for me a bit but not much.) This map really turned out amazing and im really glad to be a part of it.
Oh wow...i don't even know how to describe it, everything about this is absolutely stunning. All the parts flow together absolutely beautifully, and the intro, designs, and settings are gorgeous, as well as the ideas portrayed. This by far is my absolute favorite wings of fire map!!
I have seen many wof maps and this just takes my breath away I don't see any mistakes notable by the bare eye unless the are taking about a single miss placed frame from time to time but that is normal even professionals do I have been looking with frame scans and I've never seen such I beautiful thing
Ok I know multiple comments can get annoying but- I’m rewatching this again, and crying ridiculously hard- I really want to hive poor Arctic and also Darkstalker a hug. Both of them did awful things they regret, and neither ever meant to cause the harm they did. Does anyone else seriously want to just give Arctic a hug right now?
I have no clue what was going on cuz I haven't read the Dalkstalker Legends book, but it was cool. Also, I was really moved by the song because Undertale is my favourite game ever and Chara is my favourite character in it.
OMMMGGG I MISSED THE PREMIERE AHHHH THIS TURNED OUT PHENOMENAL OMGGGG AHHHH I LOVE THIS SMMMM EVERY SINGLE PART WAS GORGEOUS AND FULL OF EMOTION AHHH SUCH AN AMAZING JOB ALL PARTICIPANTS TYSMM FOR HAVING ME IN THIS MAP IT WAS AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE 💖💖💖💖💖

Arctic had it unfair, there's no doubt about it. He was born with a gift-turned-curse that his evil power-hungry mother/queen would keep him slaved for her own desires to exploit.

And the fact where his cousin Snowfox is so terrible to him. That’s why this forced Arctic to believe the superiority of his tribe, making him look down on Darkstalker, thinking Whiteout is strange and literally enchanted her to go back to the ice kingdom.

Yeah he was kind of a terrible parent and was super defensive about stuff and definitely had some anger problems, but he did at least try, and in Darkstalker's book it did say he loved Foeslayer, which is why he left with Whiteout. I definitely say he didn't deserve that fate, though it is what it is, and y'know what, I think I could really see a situation like this MAP showed happening in whatever afterlife the dragons go to
Really loved the video though, keep up the great stuff. All of you guys, not just Ebony
Me: OMG ITS DONE-
*premieres in 5 hours*
Me: FU-
Omg you have spoken the truth
I have spoken you have spoken we all have spoken :D
haha So true I feel ya
It was a blast working on this project! A top tier wof map for sure! Legend! Thank you so much for letting me be a part if it :D
Hi! Could you tell me what software you use to animate? I'd love to do wings of fire stuff, but idk what I should use. Your part was amazing btw!
@@QueenJeweltheDJ I've been using firealpaca for past 3 years (it's for pc and its free) but rn I'm switching to clip studio paint. I only started using it few days ago tho (you have to pay for that program tho)
Arctic: *But nobody came*
The premier: *Exploding chat noises*
But it was a lot of fun and such an amazing MAP!!! Good job everyone!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA FINALLY U GET IT
This looks wonderful - I'm so glad it came together so nicely!! Fantastic job to everyone, it's so wonderful to be part of another complete MAP! Thanks for hosting Ebony :) I also really love how you made the credits like the "screens" in the MAP!
Poor arctic. His soul was ruined not only by his curse but by his own icewing family
Wait... Does the ending mean that since Darkstalker is turned into Peacemaker he erased Arctic from his mind and so this means that his life was completely useless?
Foeslayer is still alive tho. She's going under the name Hope now. I don't think she had her memories erased.
Well, his efforts weren't exactly worthless but they did much more harm than good. The Icewings no longer have animus magic (which is a neutral thing on its own) but he inadvertently started a war and made Darkstalker so it wasn't useless but certainly not good (if there is anything else that I didnt include feel free to ask)
@@coffeewolf5789 yeah, but was getting rid of animus dragons in the Icewing Tribe that bad? And Darkstalker’s action prevented the Nightwings from becoming unstoppable, so in the long run, they both stopped two tribes who would’ve very well become problematic
@@dragonstouch1042 Like I said in the post, Icewings no longer having animus magic is a neutral thing, neither good nor bad.
Somewhat, I was upset when Darkstalker turned into Peacemaker if I’m being honest
I came up with an AU inspired by this: Instead of Arctic dieing, right before he dies Darkstalker enchants him to relive his crimes for a thousand years (key word is Thousand) and to live as long as Forslayer lives (as a punishment of knowing she's alive but not knowing where she is or who she changed into) but Arctic makes it through the thousand years of watching himself go insane, he realizes what he's done and changes but he goes crazy in a different way. One day, he suddenly wakes up, he gets up and it's been a thousand years, he's confused but he's not dead nor alive. He can fly around and touch objects but he can't interact with other dragons and he can't be hurt or healed (he has a scar on his stomach and his tongue is still gone but he can talk). He flies around, looking at how much things have changed but when he gets to the Ice Kingdom, he notices a strange thing called "The Diamond Trail" be brought up, he follows 2 dragons into the cave and then he sees Foeslayer. Darkstalker, had added something on top of the first enchantment realizing that Arctic could live longer then he had orginally thought which was that if Arctic saw Foeslayer or Darkstalker, that he would lose the ability to talk around them but also only be able to interact with them (Punishment of trying to talk but it's like you have your mouth sewn shut) Foeslayer is the only one at this time who can see him and tries to interact with him but she has to fight as well. A thousand years later, Foeslayer is saved by Winter and Arctic follows them, the story goes pretty much the same here except that Arctic takes Foeslayer to the Old Night Kingdom, and shows her the damage that Darkstalker is doing (Darkstalker doesn't know they're there) *This is just a brief summary but I'll add more details and explanations for it all later and also the reason why Darkstalker keeps Arctic alive is to torment him, and give him a fate worse then death but it backfires.*
This is a really cool au you came up with
Me: Sees map
Me: OMG ITS OUT AAAAAAA IVE WAITED FOREVER FOR THIS!!
TH-cam: Lol, wait nine hours
Me:
-_-
yes commit Frisk
Ah yes, the neutral face of displeasure when you must wait longer for this amazing map ;-;
I missed it even tho I had notifications, they came on time, I just wasn’t playing attention ;-;
hello there F R I S K
Get TH-cam rick-rolled (oh god rick-rolling be kinda old now i think... idk im forgetful xD)
I am going to CRY that was so good and immersive like on my lord! I seriously love how many parts transition so well into the next and the way it flows. (Also the part at 4:30 blew my MIND I gasped when watching it, it was incredible) it was such a great opportunity to participate in this, Ebony, your maps are always so thoughtful and exciting!
Aw i missed the premiere but this is super epic, i think its one of the most hyped WOF maps this year
hello
Alright holy carp.... seeing it all put together was immensely impressive! This has to be one of my favorite maps ever. It's an honor to even be in it, thanks for letting me particapate!
Your part was epic!
So at the end did Arctic end up erasing his memories, or did he end up erasing himself from the past, or the memories of his family and/or everyone who knew him?
Edit: Or erasing their past together, so they'd only stayed apart, or just their memories together.
Edit: I think he was actually erasing his memories, because from the start of the song he's laying down with a bunch of blue balls, then goes through his memories and 'erases' them, ending by laying down and the memories are the balls.
Also another thing I noticed, Foeslayer fading away could symbolize her ending up being taken away but I feel like it also can symbolize they can't spend the afterlife together, at least at that moment because she wasn't actually dead. It might've even been her being woken up for a Diamond Trial
I think he was sort of detaching himself from the past and coming to terms with death, but idk. I guess the point is that its up to your interpretation.
@Emma Utterback Maybe but this MAP was Arctic focused, not Darkstalker focused, so it's unlikely that this was him connecting to Darkstalker to erase his memories, or it'd probably have Clearsight and Fathom and all them, not Arctic and Foeslayer. But good idea!
OH MY GOSHSHSHSHS- (oh my god, it's happening, everybody stay calm)
This MAP is a masterpiece!! All the participants and thumbnail contest entrants did such an amazing job!! Each part and entry looks beautiful! Thank you so much, Ebony, for bringing up this idea and creating this MAP! (also tysm for letting me be a part of this project, never thought that it would ever happen) I think I just can't express how astonished I am by all the work everyone put into this project!!
It's a little sad that it all came to an end, but still it's one of the most beautiful MAPs ever existed! Outstanding job!!
Sorry I'm just gonna
*CRIES LIKE I HAVE WATER HOSES ATTACHED TO MY FACE*
The end of the map was so deep, all of it was deep but especially the end.
aaa no I missed the premiere ;-;
my part (5:40) is half a year old at this point but IT TURNED OUT SO GOOD!! The animators clearly put so much hard work and time into their parts, the thumbnail entries were all beautiful, and the concept is so freaking amazing!! Even the little things like how the outro is made up of the little “memories” really make this MAP absolutely stunning, and everyone who had a part in it should be so proud. 💕💗
Oh my god- this MAP was amazing!! The song fits Arctic so well! I was very hyped up once I saw it go onto premier mode, and it was so fun to watch so now I just felt like I had to say that this is literally SUCH a creative concept! It definitely seems like an interesting headcanon/fanfiction of what went on in Arctic’s mind(?) after he died. I feel like just re-animating canon events, though it’s very great and all, just gets old, and that’s why it’s so cool to see more unique MAPs, where you get to see what’s going on in certain characters’ minds. Like this one, or in Peacemaker’s Echo, for instance. It’s just so creative! (This is way longer than I thought this comment would be oops) And also the fact that there’s almost FIFTY talented artists?!? Woah! Ebony’s art is amazing as always, Biohazardia’s was gorgeous, Lunala’s Mask’s art really stood out to me too (it sort of reminds me a bit of my own art style) since the emotions were all just captured so well! Fantastic job, everyone!
This had me close to crying, ngl. I love how Arctic is characterized here, and even though he was a factor in Darkstalker going mad, I can’t help but feel horrible for him in this MAP... Arctic was essentially left to rot away in the Night Kingdom, and forgotten as the years went by. That being said, everyone did such an amazing job capturing the emotion in each part. 💙
5:53 i swear this part is where diamond(or 2 icewing dragonets if diamond already killed her 40 times) broke her out of her curse to kill her again so thats why she fades away
OMGGG THIS WAS INCREDIBLE! THE EXECUTION, QUICK MOVEMENTS, EDITINg, COLORS, EMOTIONS, FLASHING, AUDIO- I HAVE NO WORDS THIS IS SO STUNNING!-😭😭💙💙👏👏
This map feels like a whole HECKING movie that's how good it is and well edited it is
Wow, this was so gorgeous. Every participant did so well like... I have never felt so inspired by such work! This community has grown so much and I am beyond proud of everyone!
MAAAN!!! It was so fun to work on this especially since there are so many talented artists. Thank you Ebony for giving me the chance to have a part in this! You did a fantastic job editing everything together and it’s so cool seeing everyone’s parts fit so well. Again, thank you for letting me join. It was fun
WOOOOOOOO!!! I’m happy to be a small part of this map!! I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT!!! AHHHHHHHHH AND THIS MAP IS NOW LEGENDARY!!! THAANK YOU EBONY FOR EVEN LETTING ME IN!!!
This is a absolutely wonderful map, and it is a wonder that you have been able to make two iconic MAPs (to the bone and this). Arctic has always been one of my favorite character, due to his personality and tragic backstory, and this map showed everything I wanted. It met up to wonderful standards, whatever you say about the editing, it’s awesome.
Omg, this looks amazing! Everyone parts flow together so well! I can tell that everyone put a lot of effort! The intro and outro looks really cool as well! The idea of the map was also really creative! This is probably one of the best maps I’ve ever joined! Thank you so much for letting me participate!
All the animators that worked on this are amazing and this is one if not my favorite map

3:58 to 4:00 was like- one of the best parts frfr
My future seeing abilities tell me this will be amazing
I thought gods didn’t exist, but I think we just found the pantheon inside these animators lol.
1:48
Very creative map, I enjoyed it :)
1:42
“You can actually pinpoint the second when his heart breaks in half!”
Dang, I missed the premiere!
Again this is amazing, and in very impressed! Everyone did such an amazing job and it's very inspiring.
Can we consider this map canon, cause it makes for a perfect story and build up for Arctic. The storyline is rigid and fits him perfectly.
Can anyone tell me why this is so GORGEOUS! Seriously! The lines, the animation, the tweeting, all of that is just *chef’ kiss*
!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAA IT TURNED OUT SO GORGEOUS!!!! thankyou for letting me have a part in this, the end result is so stunning and every animator did so well!
3:50 I like the reference to Undertale here, it shows Artic’s soul or some IceWing’s soul, a reference to Undertale souls, since this is an Undertale Genocide song.
At 1:51 there is red blood on the icewing’s snout
The vibes of this MAP remind me so much of the movie Soul which coincidentally came out the exact same day this did.
TH-cam: Premieres shorty
Me: *Spams refresh just in case*
Woooooahhhh great work everyone!!! This was a great map!!
after 2 years i found it and now i sing this song 24/7 lol..
I missed the premiere :( But this map is amazing!! Definitely worth the wait, this is one of the best wof maps ever, it’s like the next This is War!!
I wish very much that Darkstalker looked through his father's memory, what he endured, what he suffered, what made Arctic what he was. Maybe he would have a better relationship with him. If he had known better about his dad.
AMAZING!! You worked so hard on this and it shows, you did so well getting this out on time! I'm really proud of you
Thanks for being such an emotional support, fun times lol
0:19
The extremely realistic heartbeat disturbs me
So here's where the heartbeat noise stops
Aye this ended up wonderful! Nice job everyone! :)
Ive been waiting for this forever and it was phenomenal
This is really really good, honestly, the audio and animation, and how long the video actually is... it was completely worth the wait. Words can't describe how amazed I am with this, even the credits are good, most people don't like credits, I don't like the credits, but here I am watching them. This was really good! It diserves a spot in my downloads. Amazing.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This might just be the best WoF map I’ve ever seen!! I’m speechless-
Congrats Drobot on winning the contest, your entry looks so beautiful as the thumbnail. All of your guys parts are amazing from what I've seen in the Playlist. Gonna be a great map
Me: sees thumbnail -oh another complete artic map part-
Me: HOLY SMOKES this AINT no map part ITS A FREAKIN AMAZING MAP!
This all put together is AMAZING! The animation is so good! Everyone has a different, and awesome, art style, but that is the thing which makes it magnificent! THIS IS JUST AMAZING!
This wasn’t a map...
*This was an experience*
Mapsterpeice ✨
Ik I said it enough times on discord but I forgot to comment on this masterpiece. Everyone did so good i just can't stop watching it! Tui should have really gone into Arctic's backstory more instead of making him look like the worst dad in legends. (I never read runaways but I will soon,this kinda spoiled it for me a bit but not much.) This map really turned out amazing and im really glad to be a part of it.
Wooo everyone did so awesome! This turned out 10x as amazing as I thought it would!
Oh wow...i don't even know how to describe it, everything about this is absolutely stunning. All the parts flow together absolutely beautifully, and the intro, designs, and settings are gorgeous, as well as the ideas portrayed. This by far is my absolute favorite wings of fire map!!
This turned out incredible! I'm so happy that I was able to participate in this wonderful MAP! Great job everyone!!
I have seen many wof maps and this just takes my breath away I don't see any mistakes notable by the bare eye unless the are taking about a single miss placed frame from time to time but that is normal even professionals do I have been looking with frame scans and I've never seen such I beautiful thing
Im getting goosebumps fro m this, it was really good and my new fav wings of fire music video!
OMG THIS IS AMAZING! All the animators did great jobs!
Weeeeee i can't wait to see how it turned out!! I also appreciate that i got the opportiunity to take part in this!
Ok I know multiple comments can get annoying but-
I’m rewatching this again, and crying ridiculously hard- I really want to hive poor Arctic and also Darkstalker a hug. Both of them did awful things they regret, and neither ever meant to cause the harm they did. Does anyone else seriously want to just give Arctic a hug right now?
Darkstalker and Arctic did bad things but they weren’t evil like many people consider them to be
Of course i do, he needs more love. *hugs Arctic*
I swear this is a piece of art i am so happy to see Wings of Fire fandom create such amazing work!
just imagine artic in magical heaven just looking at a watch waiting for foe slayer to show up lol
I’ve been seeing parts for this in my reccomended for months but I still can’t believe it’s actually done
I swear, every single time I watch this, it feels like a movie.
Beware your two queens. Beware your own power. Your claws will betray you in your final hour.
HOLY COW THAT WAS AWESOME!!! i love sketchhope's part in particular! it's so anime-like and i love it!!!
I have no clue what was going on cuz I haven't read the Dalkstalker Legends book, but it was cool. Also, I was really moved by the song because Undertale is my favourite game ever and Chara is my favourite character in it.
Hehe *throws a free can of anti sim *
Good luck kid. Cannon ships only. Stay determined
@@spleensthecat1078 * Hiding Qinter fanart behind back * Er- thanks?
@Foxina Foxgirl13 Makes me very happy to see others out there who like Chara as much as I do ^-^ They're very underrated imo
@@inactive234 :O Yessss! They are a very underrated character.
Gosh this is just amazing! All the animators who worked on this did such a fantastic job! ❤️
Well done folks!
OMMMGGG I MISSED THE PREMIERE AHHHH THIS TURNED OUT PHENOMENAL OMGGGG AHHHH I LOVE THIS SMMMM EVERY SINGLE PART WAS GORGEOUS AND FULL OF EMOTION AHHH SUCH AN AMAZING JOB ALL PARTICIPANTS TYSMM FOR HAVING ME IN THIS MAP IT WAS AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE 💖💖💖💖💖
So glad it’s finally finished! I’ve been so excited for this map, the thumbnail is absolutely gorgeous!
No, I haven't watched this map so much I have memorized the song and animation and could probably play the entire thing in my head.
Shhhhh-
THIS. IS. AMAZING.👏

I've walked a h u n d r e d miles

I need to learn to lipsynk still ;-;
This also was done so quickly for the animation quality!
It was amazing
OK OK OK I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THIS AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY! Everyone did such a great job AAAAAAH! This was amazing!!!
I love this SO FREAKIN MUCH!
The song is a great pick, it really fits, and I also just am obsessed with undertale so naturally I would like it but that’s besides the point, anyways this is so great! Love your channel Ebony!
IT'S FINALLY HERE AND IT'S INCREDIBLE!! All the animators did amazing jobs!
This turned out amazing! Arctic was so underrated. It's so sad at the end tho :'( but good MAP!
Thank you so much for adding that thing at the end showing which animators did what parts. I always have trouble finding them, even when they are listed in the description because I can never link up which part goes to who
These are some very talented artists. Shoutout to the animators of this wonderful music video!
