Song is Little Pistol by Mother Mother!
i hope to finish this and making sorta like a semi animated pmv thing? this is an updated sketch of the first storyboard i did a while ago here : • bluestar- little pisto...
also a brief explanation for those who want it:
at the beginning bluestar is paying respects to mosskit and sees misty and stonefur, shes like 'ok im still ok with my decision'
then we flash forward to her trusting tigerclaw and him bein her deputy and being a ''''swell''' guy. fires like ya right i dont trust him longer than his whiskers
then tigerclaw attacks the camp and bluestar. fire comes to the rescue and the blood of the battle is like war paint i guess on her face
bluestar is blinded by his traitorness i guess. then we see him getting banished, bluestars distrust, the fullmoon thing is like her not picking a deputy at the right time, fire is sad that shes feelin dis way
then the forest fire in rising storm, everything is ashy and black and white, and firey. bluestar looses faith in starclan here.
theres a battle of sunningrocks next. bluestar gets cornered by misty and stone when fire reveals to them shes their mom to prevent them from killing her. they hate her bluestar crys
then flash forward to cloudtails warrior ceremony, swift and bright resolve to fight da dogs. bluestar sees bright and is like disgusted but acutally goes back 2 her den to cry cat tears
then she resolves to go to starclan and confront them about how she feels shes been treated. goosefeather in particular because of da prophecys
shes reminded of the water will destroy u, it transitions to after she saves fire. shes in the river. AT THE END, she like. looses her war paint returning to clarity. misty and stone save her and forgive her. then she cry.

How does Mother Mother’s songs fit Warrior Cats so well?!
A fellow anus

This is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking warriors animations I have ever seen. The depth it goes into to explore Bluestar's inner fear and turmoil. The metaphor of the "war paint" and grayscale is simply phenomenal, and it really shows how she lost a part of herself when Tigerclaw turned on her. I absolutely loved Fireheart's presence throughout it. How he knew she was taking it, but through it all he stays loyal to her, even when she looses all loyalty to him and the clan. We see a different side of bluestar, one filled with pain and despair as she watched everything crumble around her. The incredible detail and symbolism can only be described as beautiful. I have watched this three times already, and cried every time. This is truly a work of art. Thank you, nifty.
And ,soon it will be finished!
She lost a part of herself? If you read Bluestar's Prophecy, you can see that Bluefur is really messed up. I think that she lost the rest of herself when Tigerclaw betrayed her. But, honestly, I agree with you.
@@arianamarie8442 Yeah, her mother's and sister's death did a number on her.
All these emotions make this map special and interesting
@@fazieco dude this isn't a map
Seeing the emotion on Bluestar's face when Tigerclaw attacked made me wonder what would've gone through her head if Fireheart failed to stop him.
Like, the commotion in the den would attract others and they'd still exile Tigerclaw, but I honestly wanna see an AU of Bluestar's thoughts and feelings if Fireheart died at the paws of Tigerclaw when he tried to protect her.
That's a really interesting AU idea, actually!
An intresting concept, i could try and draw that if youre not planing anything with it
@@Curious-Artist-Cat id love to see that
@@Curious-Artist-Cat oh please if you have time *do it*, it sounds to be a cool au
i liked the symbolism of the red across her face to show her time when she didn't trust anyone including StarClan and then when she was about to die it washed away because her thoughts were clear again, i thought that was really cool
Now that's awesome. Thanks for putting that thought into my mind.
"Soo, it's 1AM and I've watched this animatic thirteen times already, and I have to wake up at 6AM."
"One more time"

ONE LAST TIIIMEEEEEEEEE
I wouldn't recommend doing that. As tempting as rewatching something you really enjoy over and over again can be, it's better to watch things like this every few weeks because otherwise your brain gets used to it and you basically stop enjoying it. Trust me, I've ruined some songs for myself by doing this, and it sucks so bad, so as a result I try to watch this only once every month (which may be overdoing it, but I'm not willing to take any risks)
I love the symbolism with blood on her face and eyes and how her rationality and "vision" were clouded!
this is professional level storyboarding. I really wish I could pledge you in Patreon to help you out finish this and if I at one point manage to clear the current obstacles I definately will!
also the symbolism of the bloodstain is just AAGH so good
Truth be told right here
She's working on finishing this, actually! She's shown previews of it on her tumblr warriors designs blog :)

in the years since i first watched this, i keep coming back to it. the symbolism, the movement and the character designs are just that good
I was on the verge of tears for the whole thing and then Bluestar just gets WHIPPED UP by Stone and Misty at like 3:46 and i started laughing hysterically
im so dead
Static Stardust ME TOO I DIDNT TWEEN IT RIGHT BUT IT WAS funny so I left it in... hopefully I remember to fix it lol

I was just about to comment that but checked down here to see if someone had alreadyXD
+Nifty-Senpai Yeah, this is amazing but the way they pull her up its just so weird looking like she's there and then see isntXDXD
+Nifty-Senpai Maybe have her head be thrown back a little, and have bubbles flow past her? I don't know why I'm talking, I barely animate(':

This is incredible! I love how alive everything looks! The characters, the forest, the colours! Wow. Absolutely gorgeous work, my friend!! Thank you for sharing this with us hnnn!!!

Woop woop. Hi Blix. Also 1k like. xD
i have no words to describe what a masterpiece this is. you convey emotions so well, how fireheart is basically tumbling over himself as he's running to help bluestar, when he's running to help brightpaw, when bluestar is sliding across the ground as she rushes to the moonstone. god, i just imagine... for months, bluestar has these blood stains on her face because she's too depressed to groom herself, and you can distinctly see it blurred and erased in lines below her eyes from crying.
i also love how the shots become really detailed when there's a lot of emotion there, and how you can tell who all the cats are by how they're drawn. the ending made me actually cry so THANKS
This comment deserves more attention
Nifty, you truly have an innocent soul.
Myal Canal GO AWAY
Myal Canal what's an "innocent soul" can I purchase one of those?

Where can you purchase one? Or can I just borrow someone else's?

Day four. I've lost count of how many times I've watched this and how many drawers I've filled with drawings of Bluestar. I've spent nearly $652.45 on drawing paper and sketch books, $1,237.09 on art supplies. I haven't seen sunlight in three days. I've drank about 74 coffees and hot chocolates.
mood 😔👊
This is unbelievably gorgeous, Nifty! Beautiful work
when you can't put this on your playlist because its not a map part
LOL are you a mind reader? How did you know? XD
science, also speculation
simple: when a good map part comes you click as lightning to place it there.
Same with this. But is not a MAP part soo..

i am a 31 year old adult and to this day this animatic still makes me sob. and i do NOT cry easily. bluestar's story is very dear to me. really amazing work.
First time I've heard someone use a "Mother Mother" song?? Oh my lord, it fitted so well!!!
noodlers used a mother mother song for her ashfur pmv, a while ago, its pretty good you should check it out, its pretty hella nice

My favorite part animation-wise is at 2:11. The camera backs away from the cat running, making it seem like they're going nowhere, or chasing something they can't catch. Plus the music at that point is just so... AHHHH! It's so perfect. I love it
Wow Nifty. Even as a storyboard, it looks beautiful. The song choice works so well with Bluestar. I feel like this would definitely be one of the better Bluestar videos if it finishes through. Keep up the good work!
I can imagine Bluestar running away from all her worries, trying to be a good leader. And all the while she has to deal with Oakheart's death and her kits being in a different Clan. Then Redtail dies, then Lionheart, and Tigerclaw betrays her and Fireheart takes place. She has to deal with Cinderpaw getting ran over, Spottedleaf dying, and dying herself!
And then Fireheart, her own warrior, turning into leader and everything happening to him. All the while Bluestar watches from StarClan, helpless to help.
And you know the problem with dealing depression (cat can have depression emotion alright) pressure and being fool to yourself in front of everyone (I mean by making yourself look like your a bad leader)
Best warriors video of 2017 like hands down I love this
This must have taken so much work its honestly the best thing ever

This.
"Little Pistol"
Up on my side, where it is felt
I pack a little pistol on my pistol belt
I think it might be fear
Of the world and the way it makes you feel afraid
Under the skin, against the skull
They put a little chip so that they know it all
I think I might be scared
Of the world and the way it makes you feel afraid
And how it gets in the way
And now I want brimstone in my garden
I want roses set on fire
And I, well I want what’s best for me
And I, I think I know just what that means
Just what that means
Today I coo, today I caw
I have a pistol party and I kill ‘em all
I think I might be scared
Of the man and the men with their hands inside
And the women, oh, the women all they do is cry
And I, well I lose my mind
And now I found brimstone in my garden
I found roses set on fire
And I found Jesus, what a liar
So I trade licks with Muddy Waters
And I, well I found what’s best for me
And now I see no tragedy
And I, I found a burning rose
And now I won’t be packing little pistols
No, no, no more
Song of the decade IMO

Dude there’s captions why did you even comment this?
@@ovoig743 maybe they just wanted to
Just finished rereading the first Warriors series and went back to watch this animatic to see how it compared to the books. Having the books’ details fresh in my mind amplified all the feelings in this animatic, and I’m astounded by how beautifully you convey Bluestar and her complicated personality and situation. This really is masterful storyboarding, pacing, and cinematography. You convey so much of bluestar’s story in just five minutes, which is phenomenal- even two hour long movies sometimes cannot achieve that level of storytelling. Brilliant job!! Watching this always gives me chills, especially the bursts of mini animation.
Seeing this come together since you started like - holy shit Jess I'm so in awe of how incredible it is and how beautiful your style is I'm klbkbjhvkvgkhcvjgcjgcjgcjvjh your shots are so dynamic and characters consistent and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
WhiskerMoon :D
tf?
WhiskerMoon I agree iv been subscribed for the longest time
Bluestar definitely did not deserve to live the life she did. She sacrificed so much just for everything to fall apart. Her deputy betrays her, one of her apprentices has lost one of her eyes and she feels guilty, and then the fire scene, her weak Clan, her kits angry at her, and her anguish as she slowly loses her faith and sanity.
I can't imagine how mad she was that the prophecy turned out to destroy her life.
Poor girl.
Bad day, Bluestar?
Aaaaaa 3 years ago this introduced me to mother mother. Time goes by fast
Wow your art just jumped like crazy! Very nice work on the backgrounds, your anatomy has gotten so good! just a little feedback, I personally don't think you need that cut to black in the beginning when match cutting Bluestar from beside to river to being in the clan talking to Tigerstar. As well, I honestly really loved in the old storyboard how you had the screen turning in one direction when Bluestar was at the moonstone then turning a different direction when it changed to Starclan. It added a lot of dynamics and visual tension to the scene. But these are just personal preferences, I look forward to the finished product!
BlueMaroon|Sarah Goran thanks so much for the feedback! I'll work on those kinks ;w;
I come back here every so often to rewatch this a couple dozen times. It's so beautiful.
this is so gorgeous, all the shots are so beautifully composed!

*MORE ONE*
this animatic changed the world
I love the idea of how the blood stays over Bluestars eyes. Since that situation certainly blinded her from what was right until she died, which was when the blood washed off. She made many irrational choices after Tigerclaw tried attacking her and I think the blood over her eyes specifically was a wonderful way to portray the things she did and the choices she made. It acted as a sort of blindfold, she realized what she had done once it came off, she didnt realize what she was doing at the time because she was just so emotionally torn about someone so close to her trying to kill her. The blood of Tigerclaw stuck to her and effected her decisions greatly.
I have no words.
But you just said some. F A L S E S T A T E M E N T
The work that introduced me to Mother Mother. Still love it all these years later.
I may have cried
lily. I HAVE SOMETHING IN MY EYE
lily. MOM MY FACE IS BLEEDING WATER
I shit you not this has been my favorite animatic for 3 years and it brings me so much serotonin I love it so much
I just finished re-reading Bluestar's Prophecy. This wrecked me. Like. Gosh. Right in the feels, man.
Also this is like, pro animatic work. You realize Disney and Pixar don't even have animatics that look this nice, right?
deadass the video that introduced me to mother mother. Still stunning years later, great work!
what scares me is that there was so much emotion in 2:46 it gave me chills
well damn it all gives me chills. This is amazing
Hazard 1414 can you tell me what's going on in this scene? 😂
Becca. B ?
Becca. B Kind of half spoiler alert? I guess if you haven't read the first arc.
So y'know Swiftpaw and Brightpaw are all like "heck no why does Cloudtail get to become an warrior just because he doesn't believe in StarClan?" So they both decide to prove themselves by trying to drive away the dogs that were found in the territory. Unfortunately for them, they get absolutely hammed and Swiftpaw dies while Brightpaw suffers a huge injury on one of her eyes are results her in becoming permanently scarred. Fireheart tells Bluestar about this and [cue scene] Cloudtail is all sad and stuff and Cinderpelt is treating Brightpaw and Bluestar is all "heck no your name is Lostface now gj." and leaves. and that's it.
5 YEARS AGO??? WHAT THE FCUCK
wOAH this is amazing! even just with an animatic it certainly shows your talent and bluestar's arc
1:15-1:25. I love this part. Always gives me chills how Fireheart just springs into action and kicks Tigerclaw’s butt!
Also the way it was animated to the beat 👌🏻👍🏻
Oh MY GOSH Honestly Nifty you've outdone yourself again! This is beautiful!! It really shows the sides of Bluestar that people overlook, and her method in her madness. The way you creatively use camera angles amazes me and the expressions on the characters are astounding! I loved the part when fireheart is standing in front of bluestar, facing Tigerclaw/star and it shows their shadows on the cliff side, I re-watched this several times to see everything because its all so deep! When fireheart tears Tigerclaw's ear and the blood covers bluestar's eyes, I really thought about that. It can be taken many ways, I saw it as bluestar "seeing red" and how she was against her own clanmates. all-in-all, this is how animatics should be and i love it good job man
There’s method in my madness... there’s no logic in your sadness :)
Anyway, I agree completely! Quite an amazing video.
Mossypath actually the part with the shadows on the cliff the character is not tigerstar it's actually mistyfoot and stonefur if you read the description of the video it says all the stuff that's happening but every thing else that your talking about is right XD
would give anything to see this finished ;w;
it is finished
ok nvm no it isnr but it will be eventually
can we all agree Nifty has the cutest voice
Can’t believe it’s been 5 years still stunning with emotion and artwork Yas💙🖤🤍
Wow, I don't want to be too dramatic. But this is absolutely phenomenal... everything about it is so beautiful, the shots, the storytelling and the symbolism I just... whoa....
Honestly, BlueStars decent I to madness/distrust/loosing belief was actually heart breaking. She is such a good character and had such a hard life, loosing her sister, MossKit and then OakHeart. Along with other things in her past. I’m just glad Star-clan saw what was going on and still accepted her with open arms (legs).
ok but @ the end when her war paint washed away n misty / stone rescued her i actually started sobbing why am i like this sndnndsnnddsfd
I can’t stop watching this video for 3 years.
I love the symbolism of the red streak on Bluestar's face and how it symbolizes her trauma from being betrayed
it's been almost 4 years and this still makes me cry
Everything you do is always a 100% quality, and even an animatic like this, still "sketchy", is perfectly emotional and original.
You'll certainly be the first person I'll become Patreon for, your work is actually so inspiring and professional !
6 years, and still my favorite warriors animation💖
I adore this to no end holy shit!
So beautifully boarded and I love the technicality of it(for lack of a better word). I like animatics don't get me wrong but the movements and boarding always seem flat but this is amazing, the range of composition and stylistic detail along with the chosen scenes give this such a pleasing look and feel! Pulls it apart from other ones I've seen.
And the choice of scenes and how they were handle was nice new flavour for the fandom! I don't think I have seen many people focus on the points you did like the scene with Brightheart in the Med. Cat den and the scene with Bluestar at Moonstone.
There is a level of professionalism in this that is truly inspiring and I can't wait to see it finished! Amazing work Nifty!!
i still love this more than anything even after 3 years and it not even being finished, way better than anything i can do and just wow TALENT
This is absolutely breathtaking nifty!! I remember watching the original all the time when it came out and this just shows how much yo uhave improved since then!! I especially love all the emotion when bluestar is crying, and the moonstone(?) changing to an open space with the other cat. amazing job!
I just want to point out, I absolutely love how you draw Tigerclaw in the beginning. He looks like the sweet big ol’ deputy bluestar pictured him as, she never expected him to try to kill her for power. And I love how you draw fireheart too, he was suspicious from what Ravenpaw told him about Tigerclaw, but Bluestar is totally blind to that. I really like that detail.
Also I’m just a sucker for when people draw Tigerclaw/star looking like a good dude.
i saw an animatic so beautiful i started crying?????
also i see you pyrope
Moral of the story: Blood on your eyes preventing you from seeing the beauty in the world? Take a little dip in the gorge!!

Nope it was about 20,000 of them mixed in with a fair amount of drool
I love how you portrayed Bluestar losing her mind as red across her eyes clouding her perception of right and wrong and her judgement, and how it "washes off" in the water when she realizes her mistakes! I think it's one of the best ways of showing this.
Amazing! This song is perfect for Bluestar! The cats expressions and everything was really great.
The first animatic that's made me sob like a baby and I'm not even ashamed because this is perfect in so many ways and I want to crawl into a hole and cry myself to sleep
this made me cry and i never cry. you have some professional level story boarding skills here and the sheer emotion portrayed in this animatic is staggering and extremely inspiring. don't give up. i would support your patreon if i could but i'm broke unemployed.
god i keep coming back to watch this, the whole thing gives me straight chills, man, its p e r f e c t. Seriously, a masterwork of mise-en-scene.
Wholeheartedly agree
I love how your art style has evolved since I first saw your channel!
That patreon logo that popped up in the corner, I thought it was a red cat eye with some shine on it
bjezus i almost cried at the end
Same. Same.
this made me cry. bluestar is such a tragic character, she didn't deserve what happened to her
Ahh this is so lovely! I adore the idea of the 'warpaint' blinding Bluestar. Each scene is also just generally well planned out and fits well with the music! Great work ^-^
this is only an animatic and yet it's far and away one of the best warriors videos out there. perfectly represents bluestar's descent into madness, fear and regret and it's heartbreaking. the ending made me tear up
This storyboard is amazing! When I come across a storyboard, I usually can't even finish the video without getting bored, but I can't stop watching this one. I can't wait for the finished product!
why did i genuinely cry at the end
Hooooly shit JESS!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!! Been looking forward to this for so long and AAAA! You're so good at staging and telling a story. The emotions came through so clearly and I can definitely tell how much work went into this. Love love love it! I wish I could say something more eloquent besides REALLY FRACKIN GOOD
Especially this part XD 3:45
Yes Ik someone else put it but still.
i remember watching this when it first came out when i was like 10 and crying my eyes out LMFAOOO
I honestly cried a little bit. Seeing your animatic of the touching story of bluestar was absolutely beautiful!
3:09 felt the emotion on this frame
god i finally got to read bluestars story, cause this year is my first time ever getting to read warriors, and i came back to watch this because i just, jeez her story is so sad. This pmv captures it all so perfectly. im- cry a lot. it was so depressing reading how hard things had broken her spirit and how she could no longer trust in herself, her clan, or starclan itself. The way she was written and her slow deterioration was done so well both in the books and this pmv so ty for this :' )) i hate what became of her ugh its so just heartbreaking.
WTF THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST ANIMATIC IVE EVER SEEN GAWD DAMN!!!!
I would pay so much money to see this beautiful animation fully colored and/or shaded. Simply breathtaking work, and one of the best warrior animations on youtube.
this is it, this is the animatic that's gonna make me sit down and reread warriors
so this video is actually what inspired me to pick Little Pistols for my short film on my channel
I love how you use the red around her eyes to represent her “insanity” and hard time during her leadership after Tigerclaw attacked her, and it then fading away as she loses her last life. It’s creative representation! I love it.
For the last 2 years I have been hesitant to click this video, I dont know why, but know I wish I would have watched it sooner!! Its is absolutely INCREDIBLE
Good lord, I remember watching this two years ago and I wasn't prepared for how much emotions would spill out when I re-watched it today. Good job man.
I find it hilarious that you people are arguing so strongly about a fictional character's color after a person was clearly just making a joke about it.
Seriously tho
don't fight to the death,
we all love Bluestar,
let's just let her be a rainbow fictional color, okay?
It’s been two years and I just realized that at 3:57 Mosskit is laying behind stone and misty
me too!
oh my god
YOUR VOICE IS SO CUTE AND YOU SEEM LIKE SUCH A SWEETIE AAAAAA
Still waiting for the finished animatic after 5 years 😭
preach
Same
Nifty this is Truly amazing! you improved so much and i can't wait to see what else you have in store
Bluestar is my favorite character. She goes through trama abandonment betrayal depression and ptsd. She gave everything up for starclans plans.
