Merry Christmas from Sweden! Here's a first storyboard wip of a small animation featuring Magpiepaw and Crowpaw! I found this song to fit them both so well so instead of either or I split it into 2!
-
Magpiepaw struggles with not fully wanting to be a healer as well as feeling caged in by expectations, responsibilites and traditions whilst Crowpaw feels uncertainty of her place in her clan, the visions she's given and what fate has in store for her.
-
Fun extra info is that Wingedclan (magpie's group) are Pilgrims and travels to set locations yearly to visit important places, avoid harsh winters as well as give hunting ground time to recover with them being a huge huge group (canonically like 50+ cats I am just sparing myself the effort to create that many haha). So the place featured here are some abandonded hare burrows directly referenced of photos I took when I visited Southern Sweden :)

Wingedclan's toyhou.se page is still in the works but I hope to finish it before the end of the month!

I really want to push myself further with animation so I would love to fully animate this, practise compositing and better backgrounds to really try and achieve a high quality, movie like style. The pressure of getting new content out constantly makes me rush things though so we'll see how it goes!
