Also, my face just lit up. Hi, I'm the commenter on the original animatic about Boon's scars. I didn't comment on the map call itself as I knew comments were overloaded already - but it made such a change to see the scars turn to the white markings instead. Showing the impact of them on Boon and the way he learned to own them - while still allowing a way to heal.

I was actually able to see the storyboard/animatic in progress when it was being drawn. I remember you streaming your progress on twitch sometimes and putting the watch link in a spotted and maple map server. You inspired me to work on storyboard maps in the first place, and i am forever grateful for that❤

As a person who has always wanted to host an MAP, I really like seeing the planning stages for this sort of thing. Also, how you solved problems that the animators encountered. I've always wanted to try to pick up hosting and learn, but always been intimidated by the idea that my lack of experience will result in me making life harder for the participants. This helped alleviate some of those fears and assured me that just being open to discussion and putting the care of the other artist's first will have good outcomes. Great video!

So cool to learn more about the behind the scene processes for animation projects like this, especially as a viewer and not a participant. Boon AU is dear to my heart!

Does the star coloration on the scars is a cool touch to set his design apart from pre-revival self

I love seeing the old character designs and your process! I am currently learning how to make animation friendly designs, so this is very helpful!

I find it interesting that you do a kind of interview for this.

This has to be my favorite warrior project it's just a breath of fresh air for au's

@BurntToast-yf8bz 3 ай бұрын

I just find it interesting how Boon(Rusty) and Scourge (pronounced as Scerj now) justed swapped places and ended in a so much better position then before. And later on in the map I love how Boon(Rusty) somehow convinced Scourge to be good (from how I saw it) and I love how Boon(Rusty) ended getting his own moonstone and 9 lives after all!. Honestly this is a strong 10/10 map

What's funny is that I made a au calld Blood clans bloodlines. We're Scourge is mates with 2 of my ocs kestrel wing and Scenic. Kestrel wing Has the knowledge of the stars at your pause? Basically, meaning she can see multiple different futures with different outcomes based on what she does or others around her do. And a lot more other cool things. I hope 1 day to animate it. Another funny weird thing is in Canon in Warrior cats. On one of the pages in the darkest hour Is a green-eyed Gray, she cat. In my o c Is a green-eyed Gray. She cat so that was kind of cool. And I came up with her long before. I knew that was even a thing in the book. So it's kind of like she was there on the sidelines which is exactly where she'd be , so that's pretty cool😊
