Follow Crowkit’s training-arc from kit to warrior as she faces many opponents and becomes a strong and fearsome warrior!
-
Due to the clan’s warped beliefs and views of her being an ill omen to the clan and their bond with corvids as well as her pale, glaring pelt being a danger if she ever were to join patrols, hunts etc; Crowsong grows up not only shunned as is, but alienated from warrior duties and indirectly punished by being forced to “train“ and battle from a far too young age.
Her father, Raveneye, never so much as laid a paw on her during his unofficial mentoring time (albeit forced and enabled the constant training watching on the side) until the day came when determination, the wish for acknowledgement and a rightful warrior name had finally led Crowpaw past all but one final challenge: him.

• IT’S HEREEEEE OHMYGOODNESSS this has been the biggest and most challenging project I’ve ever faced but I’ve learnt SO much and had a blast (and sometimes absolutely not) working on it! Learning After Effects for the first time along with puppet tools and more was scary but a perfect opportunity! I’ve had this project in mind for over a year but I’m glad I waited until I had more animation experience! It’s not long but keep in mind ever single frame are hours worth of work each!
• I tried my best to show different age stages! Weepingwind’s death & Ashkit’s birth happen somewhere inbetween these scenes as well! I had this project in mind when hosting the “Waiting In The Wings“ MAP too so you might recognise the beginning of that vid correlating a bit to the beginning of this one!
• I specifically went for a comic styled aesthetic to honor comics for the impact and source of inspiration it had on me and my art growing up! My first real interaction with the online world and fandoms was stumbling across the pretty well known Rainbow Dash AMV that used this song so I’m very happy to get to feature it in my biggest project to date♡
