This is what I love about the Corvidclan story. It could be so easy to paint everyone except Crowsong as a villain. But by having each cat with their own story to tell - their own family dynamics and history - the tragedy of their fates becomes not only more tragic, but more complicated. No one is all good or bad; they're products of their upbringing, their own personal tragedies, the beliefs held by their elders, and by the clan. Gorgeous work as always. Xx
YAAASSSSS I read all about corvidclan and their backstories makes me wish they could have lived- Not because they didn't deserve it, I just found them way too interesting to remain dead; All of them are so cool that I can't choose a favorite.
I feel that if Corvidclan wasn’t so horrible to Crowsong as a whole, she and Talontail would have been best friends. In her Toyhouse details, it’s revealed that even though she still bullied Crow, she was the only one in the clan that thought she was beautiful and admired her pelt.
Yeah well even though she secretly admits Crowsong is generally prettier than her, Talontail still rotten enough to constantly put Crowsong down and praise herself solely because she’s jealous. Jealousy in friendships don’t tend to be good things.
@Mystic Moon Wolf That’s why I said if Crowsong wasn’t treated so horribly by the clan as a whole. If she wasn’t, Talontail would have been different towards her. She wouldn’t need to be jealous, and would instead be her friend. This probably would have began with jealousy when they were kits, but by the time they’re adults, they would have been genuine friends.
@@mysticmoonwolf1301I do agree with you, but I feel if the clan as a whole(or just Talon) was better Talontail would turn her jealousy into admiration and determination to let herself see her looks in the same way as she sees Crow's or work herself towards that(in a healthy way ofc)! I do that with my art, I get jealous of how amazing my friends styles and pieces are, but I turn it into admiration and determination! I just love Talon and I believe if the clan weren't horrible she would be one of Crows friends.
@@mysticmoonwolf1301 I feel pretty confident that line is meant to imply that Talontail has a crush on Crowsong. Especially since Talontail is not attracted to her mate. Pretty interesting tbh.
@@HorsesIC Really? I think it was mentionned that Choughsneak and Talontail have an emotional bound How can we interpret that as the fact she is not attracted to him? Or maybe is it written somewhere? Cause I don't remember reading this on both their Toyhouse pages ^^'
I really like the fact that each member of the clan is gradually revealed. the pain of everyone's suffering is also shown, that everyone experienced something bad and that they are all NOT EVIL in the flesh.
Things are not black and white. They still bullied and abused the crap out of Crowsong. Their sorrow does not excuse their cruel actions. And just as sorrow does not excuse their actions, sorrow does not excuse Crowsong (though the dreams she recieved did play a big part in it)
@@autumngalix4616 Imo Crow is a bit more excused. Would you forgive a person rebelling against their extremely religious family who bullied and abused them over them not having the same beliefs? No. I can forgive Crowsong for her acts. She didn't kill other cats outside the clan for fun, she just wanted to put an end to the abuse she endured.
Yes, but we musn't forget that Crowsong still did something extremely bad. As I see it, there's a difference between rebelling and murder, even if it seemed like the only reasonable solution in Crow's mind.
I feel like it'd be so easy to make Crowsong the equivalent of "poor baby" and everyone else being heartless and ~evil~ but I love that these characters have, as you said, depth to them. Crowsong did unspeakable things and its acknowledged, her father had a crappy childhood but it doesnt excuse his behavior as an adult, even "good" CorvidClan characters were still at least accepting of Crowsong's treatment. I love that these guys aren't all evil, it doesn't excuse what they did to the protagonist but it's awesome how you make us feel for them regardless!
Oh that was so beautiful. I love that she never blamed him for their mothers death and instead loved him and was there with him, that's not very common in oc stories
0:44 I also want to speculate that it was Jackdawgale that found Coalclaw, since those were his paws in the shot. Once again, Talontail was late to say goodbye to her parent. Gah-dam Lou why you gotta break our hearts like this 😭💔
0:05 Can I point out the genius of having the phrase “Too young to understand” overlaying the deceased cat that looks like she’s sleeping? Like, that would be a child’s first perspective of death- sleeping, because they wouldn’t really have any frame of reference for what death looks like.
@@louixie. soo they were the only ones who survived from Crowsong's Rage, right? I know she killed them all CorvidClan but i'm just asuring my head the list of who did survied or who didn't.
Part of me feels a bit somber thinking that Talontail and jackdawgale would at least sympathize with Crowsong when Weepingwind passed as well, but alas things are different.
I always love stories that depicts the "bad people" as real people. I think it makes for a great, engaging story, but it also can hint toward a life lesson. The toxic or abusive people in our lives are not stereotypical cartoon villain abusers; they are *real people* and many people can relate to their experiences. Often times, that is how victims can get caught in the cycle of justifying their abusers... It's wonderful to have stories like this that remind us how people can potentially be complex, and having the power to explore these concepts in characters of all shapes or sizes can make us so much more thoughtful. I am SOOO excited for the future projects for this clan! This story is so well crafted!
Tbh "cartoon villains" aren't all that unrealistic, either. There's some rotten people who would walk over their mother's corpse to achieve what they want, we see this every day. Some people only care about themselves. Not everyone is morally grey and still has some good in them. Many people don't.
I love the way you do dynamic storytelling coupled with absolutely lovely artwork and awesome songs. While Jackdawgale was mostly innocent in Crowsong’s mental torture, Talontail was not, but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t capable of kindness-of love. Talontail was “human” just like the rest of us. She screwed up and became a villain in another’s story, but she was a positive force in others’. She, like all the others, while being cruel were also fed ill-conceived beliefs from the time they were young that cats like Crowsong were dangerous and bad omens.
Jackdawgale has always been a favorite recurring character in these, I’m so glad to see both him and Talontail get their own animatic. In another life things could’ve been so different for them and Crow… love this piece!!!!
I always had a soft spot for Jackdawgale, but i absolutely DESPISED Talontail... until now. Now i adore her too lmao You draw emotions so well and in a so heartbreaking way, i don't even have words for this. And Coalclaw reuniting with his mate... Aw man. I love your work and your characters so much :3
Talontail is a very good character, a really pretty character she can be very villainized and shown without empathy, but she has done quite a lot of good things, she took care of her little brother, children, etc. quite well and was very empathetic I actually think the only mistake she made was bullying Crowsong, and her only real crime was being mean to Ashkit.
the nuance of cordvidclan members in their personalities and backstories is tackled so well, they are all different but still feel very intertwined with one another. it has such a nice flow and balance to it all, nothing feels forced. your portrayal of emotions is so on point (storytelling&artwise)!!
My prediction is in "Is It Cold Outside" Crowsong had a vision of loss coming to their clan because of her light fur (the eyes looking at her and Crowsong standing on white snow while all the rest is black). But I think that Starclan is actually punishing Corvidclan for the way they are treating Crowsong. Either way, Starclan is sending a punishment which I think is a coyote or wolf that kills four warriors: Coalclaw, Sootspot, Smokeviel, and Shadowfern. This is because of the creature behind Crowsong at the end of the PMV. It is a warning from Starclan of what is yet to come (Crowsong's massacre) but I imagine the clan will see it as a punishment for keeping Crowsong alive and they will treat her worse after the event.
Something I can’t help but notice is the way that Talonkit whispers “Mom…” She seems so much more confused through her sorrow while her father weeps. From the beginning of their lives, Jackdawgale and Talontail lost their mother, and later on, their father. It was their bond with one another that kept them going, you can see just how much they rely on one another from the final scene. This animatic really shows just how well Louixie crafted this clan and it’s warriors. Rather than portraying every cat as evil towards Crowsong, everyone has their own lives, love, and pain to show. Despite how they treated her, they had their own lives and importance once you can see their lives in a pure, independent perspective. I adore every bit of this story in Corvidclan, and I’m so happy to see this work of art. Thank you, Louixie!
Oh NOOOOOOOO you made me cry and feel bad for Crow's bullies LOL but omg i love Talon even more now. Its so sad that she was so close to her mother. It's really nice that she didn't blame Jackdaw and was a good sister to him. But i have to say my favorite part of this is Coal's face when hes talking to his kittens. He's devastated but trying to stay strong for them. Im curious about Jackdaw's face tho, does he blame himself even tho no one blames him for his mothers death? Anyways, i love the sort of sketchier look to this. Its very nice! I look forward to more of these. I dunno if you saidbwhos next but im here for it!
I’ve watched this a few times now, and it really makes me think about how before Crowsong, they where just a normal clan. I mean, yes they had some beliefs that became harmful, but for generations and generations they where just a clan of cats who where probably all just trying their best to survive and protect their loved ones.
It’s easy to assume that all of CorvidClan is evil, but seeing this proves that all of them are still acts with personality and backstory. Some of the cats were just misguided by previous cats-they were taught that having white fur was bad. Most of the cats aren’t evil at all. It doesn’t make what they did to Crowsong any better, but it’s still a comforting thought.
You nailed the expressions you can just tell how much talonkit and coalclaw hurt from losing such an important thing to them, and the fact you can tell that talonkit took the role of protector for jackdawkit without having to read the description is so awesome. Normally when I watch oc animatics I’m always confused and I have to read the description of the video so I understand it, but this I could understand right away your storytelling is incredible and I hope you keep it up 😁
I'll never tire of admiring your works. The way you convey the feelings of the characters, their story, their actions - it all makes me so emotional! I really like this animatic!
I love how you develop your characters in a way that shows their good qualities instead of just making the opposing characters hateable. It makes it so much harder to take sides. I love it!
I am a simple woman. I see a new video from Louixie, I watch it even if it was hours later. Wonder what that sentence in Sweden means? Perhaps about family? I was just doing another reading on Nightfall when I saw this video and watched it. Oh my Goodness was it beautifully well-drawn and well-written through the art, might I add! Beautiful, somber, and just a hint of a slice of life and tragedy. I swear, the stories behind the characters keep getting better and better. Nightfall's passing and Talonkit's sadness when she was coming with flowers to her mama and new brother, only to learn that her mummy died 😭😭😭 Little Baby Jackdawkit at 0:11 And their grief!!! 0:20 😭 Aaahhh why did these characters have to be so good at being human despite their heartless behavior! I think of that highly to be what makes you unique to me, Louixie. You do so much on them, characterising them and showing that yes, they're human, that they were just taught differently, and that still won't excuse their treatment of Crowsong. Ahhh can I say that Talontail, Jackdawgale, Coalclaw and Nightfall (She is a spirit that watches over her family and is still with them and that is a hill I WILL die on) are my favourite family now!? Dang it and I thought Omensky's family would've been my favourite! Lol Talontail being the best big sister to Jackdawgale forever is in my heart ❤️ Both 0:24 and 0:26 - Sleeping together, Talonkit showing Jackdawkit about the world perhaps or even a bit of flowers My new headcanon being that Nightfall was interested in floriography and wanted to pass on those teachings onto her children :') 0:29 and 0:31 I can guess their body language and faces! - Talonpaw and Jackdawpaw playing or training, Talonpaw being a teasing older sister and Jackdawpaw being the grumpy little brother who ain't happy at getting pinned. Yet it's well-meaning. Ahhh them racing! Jackdawpaw having a little smile on his face as he looks to his elder sister, who has quite the smile and warmth in her eyes! Yesssss more Coalclaw content!! I'm loving this old man even more! 0:34 Him being soft and 0:35 making it clear to his kids to hold their heads up high, the lights in his eyes highlighting the somber yet pride he has for his children and who they'll become! 0:38 Talonpaw being happy at the "She would want you to" really setting in the fact that she hopes to one day honour her mother's memory 0:40 Aww Jackdawpaw looks uncertain, perhaps thinking about her with somber yet taking in what his father's saying 💔💔💔 The day Coalclaw died. Talonpaw/Talontail's face as she has to yet go through another heartbreaking tragedy of her family and Jackdawpaw/Jackdawgale's face as he experiences the loss of his father 😢 I cannot help but think this is the first time he full on expresses how he feels onscreen (To me, oof) And them hugging each other at the tragedy! 0:52 and onwards has to seal the deal for me in this being one of the best story ever ❤ Nightfall and Coalclaw being together again and having the wings of a corvid bird on them! And the wee nose kiss! I swear you have such good storytelling and character writing! It's that swell that I think you'd give some people a run for their money 😂 Seriously though, it's beautiful! 30 out of 10!! Every detail is perfect! Will we see more? Will we learn about Rookfang, his father and his mother? Anyone else? ❤❤❤ I am IN LOVE!
I google translated the Sweden sentence and WOW. Here it is: "Buttercup and bluebell stood in the meadow. Evening wind fell silent, crept slowly into the flower bed. Bluebell nods, pale cheeked. The mists weave artful quilts, beneath the soft undulating folds the flowers slumber with slumbering wind."
I really loved Jackdawgale when he was introduced and I feel like this made me love Talontail just as much! It’s amazing to see all these complex characters be fleshed out and see more of their own lives outside of how they interacted with Crowsong who I adore as well. I really loved how when Coalclaw talked about their mom with them,Jackdawgale turned away and lowered his head after the lyrics mentioning his mom wanting him to hold his head high 😭 It’s so amazing how you are able to express these character’s emotions and tell such an amazing story! Can’t wait to see more about these guys and the rest of your OCs ☺️
This is so cute and sad, I love when people share more story about secondary characters of their story! It feels more realistic. And also to see something more apart from Crowsong's point of view. I cant wait to see that mentioned battle in the description!
I love this so much! I’ve always liked both Talontail and Jackdawgale (especially Jackdawgale) but now this just pushes them right to the top. I love the harebells too! I don’t know if this was meant but if I’m correct harebells signify humility, submission, and grief. I just found that little bit interesting and very cool. Anyway, I love how all these characters are well-developed and have stories and reasons behind how they acted (even if it was terrible and unforgivable to make Crowsong’s life torture). This is just pure gold in animation/art and story!
This is so cute and really makes you see past the rude exterior of Talontail and the cold demeanor of Jackdawgale! I love the expressions; they were drawn so well and this is such a cute story. Also, is it just me, or is there a part where Talontail (as a kit) says "Mom?" Keep up the amazing work! ❤
I might be overthinking it but it seems like Talontail mouthed the words “mom” while she’s crying about NightFalls death and AGGHHH MY HEART IT WAS SO BITTERSWEET!!
i love the lore of all the corvidclan members so much, even though many of them did awful things none are really cartoonishly evil, all having their own wants and things they care about that feel genuine. None of it excuses what some did, but you can understand why the situation with Crowsong became what it did, like with Raveneye’s upbringing and his childhood incident leading to his overzealous belief in his clan’s old morals and his closed off emotions. It’s said a lot, but all of them do feel like the protagonists of their own stories. Even the ones that are bit more hateable (cant think of a better word sorry) like carrioncall are still entertaining, sometimes they remind me of people irl. Beautiful animatic, i love being able to see more of the other cats stories brought to life!
First of all, Louixie, how are your OC’s so beautifully made, and their stories are so well-written??? HOW? Second of all, i love how in Crow’s perspective, many of these cats (including Jackdaw and Talon) were evil and bullies, but in Talon’s and Jackdaw’s perspective, when you take a look at their backstory, it’s hard to believe these cats were mean, especially what they went through. It makes me see that some of these cats aren’t all-evil when you take a closer look. And third of all, I am coming to ask you a million questions about your style.
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE AS ALWAYS LOUIXIE!!! Man, this almost made me cry. How can you draw expressions so well?!?! Their faces seeing CoalClaw dead, passed so much emotion!! The art, the characters, the expressions, EVERYTHING IS PERFECT! I have to say, I was never a fan of TalonTail (but to be honest I always liked JackdawGale), but now seeing the pain they passed made me feel more attached to them, their story is really tragic indeed. But anyways, LOVED IT!!🩵🩵
Oh wow, I haven't cried this hard over somebody's characters and their trauma in awhile. Fantastic work, especially in portraying the confusion, the grief, and the deep feeling of loss. :']
Listen, I _know_ he's a bully, but I really like Jackdawgale for some reason. It's those bigass irises of his, I'm sure of it. And I was wondering if Nightfall was their ancestor since she also has those + if he was related to "that cat in the You're Gonna Go Far Kid AMV" since they had similar marks. Turns out I was right. You're doing such a great job laying out the layers for the more antagonistic figures of Crowsong's story, that's really amazing!! You're giving them depth. Oh, and also, thank you so much for not making Talonkit blame Jackdawkit for their mother's death, that one is truly A Trope that grows tiring after seeing it so many times. Glad to see they are a trouble duo
This just makes Talontail's actions towards Crowsong even worse. Along with Jackdawgale. Like her, he has a disability that's entirely outside his control. And instead of being understanding towards her, he and his sister just go along with everyone else and bullies, harasses, invalidates her very existence, just because she's a white cat among cats who think black pelts are supreme. I'm not sure how I feel about the lore in this world where cats only go to the Dark Forest if they truly feel they belong there, because that would then mean that Crowsong felt she deserved the Dark Forest, along with Ashkit, when NO ONE else even felt slightly guilty for what they did....and still went to StarClan. It's so unfair.
if I remember right Jackdawgale didn’t really participate in the bullying like the other cats, he just didn’t like interacting with her because looking at her messed up his visibility a lot. Not to say that he shouldn’t have defended her or anything
@@_kaleido awwww ok so that makes him a bit better about jim at least. But he still participated in ruthless training against her as well....he isnt exactly guiltless
@@TheRibottoStudios Well to be fair, it’s either follow or get outcasted by the clan, we see Weepingwind, Crowsong’s mother get outcasted bcs she gave birth to an albino, so who’s to say the cats that treat Crow nicely wouldn’t get shunned in the same way. Seeing as Raveneye, who is leader and the father to crow, if her own dad despises her so much, the clan is much likely to follow his orders and views. It doesn’t justify any of the bullying behaviour tho, I just see the black pelts thing is more of a religion, and they don’t take too kindly to others who don’t fit the description. Especially when the clan blames Crow for the massacre of the 4 cats deaths, one of them being Talon and Jack’s father, so that’s another reason for them to not like her.
@@_kaleidoe did. In Crowsong’s page it’s stated he is one of her bullies. And look at the “ waiting in the wings” map. He, his sister, and friend were clearly indicated to have been bullying her since she was a kit. Even if he probably was a bystander, it’s just as bad to just watch someone getting abused.
The way you draw their expressions is absolutely amazing. I can feel every emotion in this video just by the way you depict them through their facial expressions and body language. Amazing job omg 💗💕
Omg, I can't describe this video, it's amazing details, and kits transformation of them is so good, kittens, to kits. Amazing, keep it up, Loixie🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤👍
AGHHHH Nothing is easy in this storyyy! God I almost cried with those poor kids because of how strong the emotion is portrayed. It made me think of my own OCs losing their parents or family members and ahH it just hurttt. On a happier note I do adore Talonkit and Jackdawkit playing together! I love a good sibling bond! Having a big sister is so adorable for Jackdaw tooo!
Maybe I am too empathic but your works always wakes tears or slight desire to cry out of me 😭I'm thrilled how strong you can portray emotions on your characters in animatics❗ Love you, Louixie!!!
imma steal your style rn i swear!!1!1!1/j, but i wish i could draw like you my god, your art is BEYOND amazing, i love how you draw them all and the emotions are perfectly drawn out, you're art is basically the BEST art i've ever seen in my life
LOUIXIE THIS IS BRILLIANT!! Animatics set in a blue tone made the mood much sadder. The song progression with the guitar with characters was so beautiful. I haven't heard this artist before, so thank you for sharing it!
Damn are you good at making such an intricate story! I love finding out every piece of history of Corvidclan, the good and the bad, and can't wait to see what's next!
I love how in depth you go with each character! It really helps me understand their traumas and develop empathy for them. This is so well written and the emotions are so beautifully portrayed!
That was ABSOLUTLY GORGEOUS! The way you draw the emotions, also the way you fine line every single detail. Everything about that animatic was so good AND your animations are always so smooth!!!!
AWWW POOR KITTIES!!!!! IM SO GLAD COALCLAW AND NIGHTFALL REUNITED IN KITTY HEAVEN THEY DESERVE THE WORLD I THINK. jackdawgale and talontails relationship is so good my HEART
I'm not a fan of Talontail(she seemed like a total rotten warrior) but I'm a major jackdalgale fan he's my favorite from your story so seeing this and hearing banger of a song playing is just awesome **totally not crying** talontail is pretty cool ig
Honestly Jackdawgale is my favorite cat from CorvidClan, it's a shame he got brainwashed by their culty traditions, I feel he and Crowsong could have been friends if things had been different
This was amazing. I love how you keep bringing your OCs to live giving them interesting backstories and how you show us their personality and lifes through time (and videos). Can't wait to see the next big project!
i am in love with everything here my god-- I'm loving how ur making the other clan cats have stuff to love about them even tho theyre basically all opposing crowsong, making her "i killed them all" thing that more impactful- like there are genuine lives being taken away -- also I love jackdawgale to death holy frick
I just have to say, I really admire your work. For me it inspires me a lot and always puts a smile on my face or when it has a sad mood tears in my eyes. And even though Jackdawgale grew to be my favorite for some reason, I really love all your characters with their own stories and personality.
OMG IM SO HAPPY U POSTED!! i found u yesterday bc of ur “ur gonna go far kid” animation and i immediately just fell in love with ur work. ur prob my biggest inspiration and im gonna start animating cuz of you!!! keep on making these amazing works of art and never stop!!
I really love how as the story is revealed more, the characters are shown to not be truly terrible people. Before, I questioned why everyone went to Starclan except Crow and Ash, but not so much now. I adore this nuance in morality, everyone seems to be varying shades of gray. Like, yes they absolutely should not have abused Crowsong, but at the same time it was because of their beliefs. They didn't really know any better. It is not an excuse, simply a reason. So, yeah, keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to the next one!
Honestly one of my favorites parts about this story in general is that you actually make every cat more than they appear To CrowSong her clan is probably just horrible, so it makes sense that when we're seeing things through her POV that's all we get of them, horrible cats But as soon as we switch the POV we see the humanity behind them Same thing with CrowSong's father, we can see his humanity when it's from his POV This doesn't make them *good* cats, but it makes them more *alive* You giving even the 'bad' characters actual *character* is very cool and sadly something not many people do with OC'S that aren't their favorite
Yet another masterpiece coming from the one and only Louixie. Absolutely brilliant! Your expressions are always on point, and the story is absolutely fantastic and heart breaking. Cannot wait for more animations from you! It's always a treat :]
Honestly, I’ve always despised these two, mainly since the main pov we were looking at them from was from Crowsong’s. Which of course, seeing as they were her bullies (as seen in Waiting in the Wings and You’re Gonna Go Far Kid), since Crowsong despised them, I did as well, since I didn’t see them from a different perspective. However, this video changed my opinion on them, mainly because I saw them both from a different pov. I still don’t think that they’re innocent, but I do empathize and have sympathy for them. After all, losing their mother at such young ages, and then loosing their father later on, it’s honestly tragic. This also admittedly gives an explanation of why Talontail hates Crowsong so much, after the events of what happened in “Is It Cold Outside?”, I could honestly see why Talontail blames Crowsong for her father’s demise. Grief brings out the worst that’s in all of us, as we’re fueled by anger, devastation, and pain. Though Talontail was already mean to Crowsong, we can see from this video why she hates Crowsong much more then when they were kits. Definitely doesn’t excuse her behavior, but it does make us understand her. Either way, I’m really excited to see more animatics/animations from the different povs of everyone in Corvidclan. I’d just love to have one from Carrioncall or Sootspot and Smokeevail’s pov
I love it! 0:33 i dunno why but those three Reminds me of Wolf Children in this moment just the characters personalities and it so cool even if its not related
This is so beautiful. Just seeing this makes me feel bad for Talontail and Jackdawgale that their mother and father died but then thinking what they have done to CrowSong (bullying her) makes me feel like I should not. Just the fact that they had a good relationship with each other shows that in not every story somebody has to be blamed for somebody else not making it. (I want to know more about CorvidClan Cats but we will have to wait!)
the fact that she had brought harebells to celebrate the birth, only to find her mother was gone.... heart wrenching

This is what I love about the Corvidclan story. It could be so easy to paint everyone except Crowsong as a villain. But by having each cat with their own story to tell - their own family dynamics and history - the tragedy of their fates becomes not only more tragic, but more complicated. No one is all good or bad; they're products of their upbringing, their own personal tragedies, the beliefs held by their elders, and by the clan. Gorgeous work as always. Xx
YAAASSSSS I read all about corvidclan and their backstories makes me wish they could have lived- Not because they didn't deserve it, I just found them way too interesting to remain dead; All of them are so cool that I can't choose a favorite.
THIIIS THANK YOU THIS IS WHY I LOVE LOUIXIE'S STORYTELLING
We love to see characters with nuance
She killed literal children and an entire clan, it's not hard at all.
I feel that if Corvidclan wasn’t so horrible to Crowsong as a whole, she and Talontail would have been best friends. In her Toyhouse details, it’s revealed that even though she still bullied Crow, she was the only one in the clan that thought she was beautiful and admired her pelt.
Yeah well even though she secretly admits Crowsong is generally prettier than her, Talontail still rotten enough to constantly put Crowsong down and praise herself solely because she’s jealous. Jealousy in friendships don’t tend to be good things.
@Mystic Moon Wolf
That’s why I said if Crowsong wasn’t treated so horribly by the clan as a whole. If she wasn’t, Talontail would have been different towards her. She wouldn’t need to be jealous, and would instead be her friend. This probably would have began with jealousy when they were kits, but by the time they’re adults, they would have been genuine friends.
@@mysticmoonwolf1301I do agree with you, but I feel if the clan as a whole(or just Talon) was better Talontail would turn her jealousy into admiration and determination to let herself see her looks in the same way as she sees Crow's or work herself towards that(in a healthy way ofc)! I do that with my art, I get jealous of how amazing my friends styles and pieces are, but I turn it into admiration and determination! I just love Talon and I believe if the clan weren't horrible she would be one of Crows friends.
@@mysticmoonwolf1301 I feel pretty confident that line is meant to imply that Talontail has a crush on Crowsong. Especially since Talontail is not attracted to her mate. Pretty interesting tbh.
@@HorsesIC Really? I think it was mentionned that Choughsneak and Talontail have an emotional bound
How can we interpret that as the fact she is not attracted to him?
Or maybe is it written somewhere? Cause I don't remember reading this on both their Toyhouse pages ^^'
The way Talon looked so uplifted when Coalclaw was talking their mother but Jackdaw LOOKED AWAY!!! I'm sick 😭😭😭
I really like the fact that each member of the clan is gradually revealed.
the pain of everyone's suffering is also shown, that everyone experienced something bad and that they are all NOT EVIL in the flesh.
Things are not black and white. They still bullied and abused the crap out of Crowsong. Their sorrow does not excuse their cruel actions.
And just as sorrow does not excuse their actions, sorrow does not excuse Crowsong (though the dreams she recieved did play a big part in it)
@@autumngalix4616 Imo Crow is a bit more excused. Would you forgive a person rebelling against their extremely religious family who bullied and abused them over them not having the same beliefs? No. I can forgive Crowsong for her acts. She didn't kill other cats outside the clan for fun, she just wanted to put an end to the abuse she endured.
@@VivianaSilverback THISSSS
Yes, but we musn't forget that Crowsong still did something extremely bad. As I see it, there's a difference between rebelling and murder, even if it seemed like the only reasonable solution in Crow's mind.
Talonkit's little "mom" makes my heart ache every time 😭
god the way you draw emotions they look so devastated HEJHWJW AUGGH i genuinely felt empathetic rlly cant wait to find out what caused coalclaws death
I feel like it'd be so easy to make Crowsong the equivalent of "poor baby" and everyone else being heartless and ~evil~ but I love that these characters have, as you said, depth to them. Crowsong did unspeakable things and its acknowledged, her father had a crappy childhood but it doesnt excuse his behavior as an adult, even "good" CorvidClan characters were still at least accepting of Crowsong's treatment. I love that these guys aren't all evil, it doesn't excuse what they did to the protagonist but it's awesome how you make us feel for them regardless!
Oh that was so beautiful. I love that she never blamed him for their mothers death and instead loved him and was there with him, that's not very common in oc stories
0:44 I also want to speculate that it was Jackdawgale that found Coalclaw, since those were his paws in the shot. Once again, Talontail was late to say goodbye to her parent.
Gah-dam Lou why you gotta break our hearts like this 😭💔
0:05 Can I point out the genius of having the phrase “Too young to understand” overlaying the deceased cat that looks like she’s sleeping? Like, that would be a child’s first perspective of death- sleeping, because they wouldn’t really have any frame of reference for what death looks like.
I'M CRYING NOO
This is so beautiful and sad I can't :((( Absolutely in love with your animatics, they are so so expressive!!!
TYSMM
@@louixie. soo they were the only ones who survived from Crowsong's Rage, right? I know she killed them all CorvidClan but i'm just asuring my head the list of who did survied or who didn't.
@@fionabarraza4304 none survived
@@louixie. oh... so they're really dead, i thought the innocent ones like Ashkit would survive but you know... Destiny is umpredictable
my eyes were balling out that i had to put eye drops. this is like an art style from another planet
Part of me feels a bit somber thinking that Talontail and jackdawgale would at least sympathize with Crowsong when Weepingwind passed as well, but alas things are different.
I personally wonder why talontail wasn't nicer to ashkit
I always love stories that depicts the "bad people" as real people. I think it makes for a great, engaging story, but it also can hint toward a life lesson. The toxic or abusive people in our lives are not stereotypical cartoon villain abusers; they are *real people* and many people can relate to their experiences. Often times, that is how victims can get caught in the cycle of justifying their abusers...
It's wonderful to have stories like this that remind us how people can potentially be complex, and having the power to explore these concepts in characters of all shapes or sizes can make us so much more thoughtful.
I am SOOO excited for the future projects for this clan! This story is so well crafted!
Tbh "cartoon villains" aren't all that unrealistic, either. There's some rotten people who would walk over their mother's corpse to achieve what they want, we see this every day. Some people only care about themselves. Not everyone is morally grey and still has some good in them. Many people don't.
I love the way you do dynamic storytelling coupled with absolutely lovely artwork and awesome songs.
While Jackdawgale was mostly innocent in Crowsong’s mental torture, Talontail was not, but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t capable of kindness-of love. Talontail was “human” just like the rest of us. She screwed up and became a villain in another’s story, but she was a positive force in others’. She, like all the others, while being cruel were also fed ill-conceived beliefs from the time they were young that cats like Crowsong were dangerous and bad omens.
Jackdawgale has always been a favorite recurring character in these, I’m so glad to see both him and Talontail get their own animatic. In another life things could’ve been so different for them and Crow… love this piece!!!!
I always had a soft spot for Jackdawgale, but i absolutely DESPISED Talontail... until now. Now i adore her too lmao
You draw emotions so well and in a so heartbreaking way, i don't even have words for this. And Coalclaw reuniting with his mate... Aw man. I love your work and your characters so much :3
Talontail is a very good character, a really pretty character
she can be very villainized and shown without empathy, but she has done quite a lot of good things, she took care of her little brother, children, etc. quite well and was very empathetic
I actually think the only mistake she made was bullying Crowsong, and her only real crime was being mean to Ashkit.
the nuance of cordvidclan members in their personalities and backstories is tackled so well, they are all different but still feel very intertwined with one another. it has such a nice flow and balance to it all, nothing feels forced. your portrayal of emotions is so on point (storytelling&artwise)!!
My prediction is in "Is It Cold Outside" Crowsong had a vision of loss coming to their clan because of her light fur (the eyes looking at her and Crowsong standing on white snow while all the rest is black). But I think that Starclan is actually punishing Corvidclan for the way they are treating Crowsong. Either way, Starclan is sending a punishment which I think is a coyote or wolf that kills four warriors: Coalclaw, Sootspot, Smokeviel, and Shadowfern. This is because of the creature behind Crowsong at the end of the PMV. It is a warning from Starclan of what is yet to come (Crowsong's massacre) but I imagine the clan will see it as a punishment for keeping Crowsong alive and they will treat her worse after the event.
Something I can’t help but notice is the way that Talonkit whispers “Mom…”
She seems so much more confused through her sorrow while her father weeps. From the beginning of their lives, Jackdawgale and Talontail lost their mother, and later on, their father. It was their bond with one another that kept them going, you can see just how much they rely on one another from the final scene.
This animatic really shows just how well Louixie crafted this clan and it’s warriors. Rather than portraying every cat as evil towards Crowsong, everyone has their own lives, love, and pain to show. Despite how they treated her, they had their own lives and importance once you can see their lives in a pure, independent perspective. I adore every bit of this story in Corvidclan, and I’m so happy to see this work of art. Thank you, Louixie!
Oh NOOOOOOOO you made me cry and feel bad for Crow's bullies LOL but omg i love Talon even more now. Its so sad that she was so close to her mother. It's really nice that she didn't blame Jackdaw and was a good sister to him. But i have to say my favorite part of this is Coal's face when hes talking to his kittens. He's devastated but trying to stay strong for them. Im curious about Jackdaw's face tho, does he blame himself even tho no one blames him for his mothers death? Anyways, i love the sort of sketchier look to this. Its very nice! I look forward to more of these. I dunno if you saidbwhos next but im here for it!
I’ve watched this a few times now, and it really makes me think about how before Crowsong, they where just a normal clan. I mean, yes they had some beliefs that became harmful, but for generations and generations they where just a clan of cats who where probably all just trying their best to survive and protect their loved ones.
It’s easy to assume that all of CorvidClan is evil, but seeing this proves that all of them are still acts with personality and backstory. Some of the cats were just misguided by previous cats-they were taught that having white fur was bad. Most of the cats aren’t evil at all. It doesn’t make what they did to Crowsong any better, but it’s still a comforting thought.
Evil is not black and white though. The sorrow in someone's life does not excuse any cruel action, even Crowsong's.
lou, my heart... it is broken 😭😭this is soso pretty tho ohmygosh
Thank you lune🥺💞
You nailed the expressions you can just tell how much talonkit and coalclaw hurt from losing such an important thing to them, and the fact you can tell that talonkit took the role of protector for jackdawkit without having to read the description is so awesome. Normally when I watch oc animatics I’m always confused and I have to read the description of the video so I understand it, but this I could understand right away your storytelling is incredible and I hope you keep it up 😁
the concept of the cats gaining wings when the die,,, I AM IN LOVE??
I'll never tire of admiring your works. The way you convey the feelings of the characters, their story, their actions - it all makes me so emotional! I really like this animatic!
I adore Jackdawgale's eyes. Its very cool that his varied emotions are still very clear despite them, with your impressive style.
I love how you develop your characters in a way that shows their good qualities instead of just making the opposing characters hateable. It makes it so much harder to take sides. I love it!
Wait - 😭😮 Imagine if Talontail had intended on continuing her and Nightfall's tradition on bringing harebells to one another with her children
I am a simple woman. I see a new video from Louixie, I watch it even if it was hours later.
Wonder what that sentence in Sweden means? Perhaps about family?
I was just doing another reading on Nightfall when I saw this video and watched it. Oh my Goodness was it beautifully well-drawn and well-written through the art, might I add! Beautiful, somber, and just a hint of a slice of life and tragedy.
I swear, the stories behind the characters keep getting better and better.
Nightfall's passing and Talonkit's sadness when she was coming with flowers to her mama and new brother, only to learn that her mummy died 😭😭😭 Little Baby Jackdawkit at 0:11
And their grief!!! 0:20 😭 Aaahhh why did these characters have to be so good at being human despite their heartless behavior!
I think of that highly to be what makes you unique to me, Louixie. You do so much on them, characterising them and showing that yes, they're human, that they were just taught differently, and that still won't excuse their treatment of Crowsong.
Ahhh can I say that Talontail, Jackdawgale, Coalclaw and Nightfall (She is a spirit that watches over her family and is still with them and that is a hill I WILL die on) are my favourite family now!? Dang it and I thought Omensky's family would've been my favourite! Lol
Talontail being the best big sister to Jackdawgale forever is in my heart ❤️ Both 0:24 and 0:26 - Sleeping together, Talonkit showing Jackdawkit about the world perhaps or even a bit of flowers
My new headcanon being that Nightfall was interested in floriography and wanted to pass on those teachings onto her children :')
0:29 and 0:31 I can guess their body language and faces! - Talonpaw and Jackdawpaw playing or training, Talonpaw being a teasing older sister and Jackdawpaw being the grumpy little brother who ain't happy at getting pinned. Yet it's well-meaning. Ahhh them racing! Jackdawpaw having a little smile on his face as he looks to his elder sister, who has quite the smile and warmth in her eyes!
Yesssss more Coalclaw content!! I'm loving this old man even more! 0:34 Him being soft and 0:35 making it clear to his kids to hold their heads up high, the lights in his eyes highlighting the somber yet pride he has for his children and who they'll become!
0:38 Talonpaw being happy at the "She would want you to" really setting in the fact that she hopes to one day honour her mother's memory
0:40 Aww Jackdawpaw looks uncertain, perhaps thinking about her with somber yet taking in what his father's saying
💔💔💔 The day Coalclaw died. Talonpaw/Talontail's face as she has to yet go through another heartbreaking tragedy of her family and Jackdawpaw/Jackdawgale's face as he experiences the loss of his father 😢 I cannot help but think this is the first time he full on expresses how he feels onscreen (To me, oof)
And them hugging each other at the tragedy!
0:52 and onwards has to seal the deal for me in this being one of the best story ever ❤ Nightfall and Coalclaw being together again and having the wings of a corvid bird on them! And the wee nose kiss!
I swear you have such good storytelling and character writing! It's that swell that I think you'd give some people a run for their money 😂 Seriously though, it's beautiful! 30 out of 10!! Every detail is perfect!
Will we see more? Will we learn about Rookfang, his father and his mother? Anyone else? ❤❤❤ I am IN LOVE!
I google translated the Sweden sentence and WOW. Here it is:
"Buttercup and bluebell stood in the meadow. Evening wind fell silent, crept slowly into the flower bed. Bluebell nods, pale cheeked. The mists weave artful quilts, beneath the soft undulating folds the flowers slumber with slumbering wind."
@@VioletRainMew
Mhm, lovely isn't it? :)
I really loved Jackdawgale when he was introduced and I feel like this made me love Talontail just as much! It’s amazing to see all these complex characters be fleshed out and see more of their own lives outside of how they interacted with Crowsong who I adore as well. I really loved how when Coalclaw talked about their mom with them,Jackdawgale turned away and lowered his head after the lyrics mentioning his mom wanting him to hold his head high 😭 It’s so amazing how you are able to express these character’s emotions and tell such an amazing story! Can’t wait to see more about these guys and the rest of your OCs ☺️
YOUR ANIMATIONS AND STORIES NEVER FAIL TO MAKE ME TEAR UP /POS
i absolutely love this masterpiece 😔
ohh my god, the way that she (i believe) mouths “mom” as she’s crying gets me so emotional, this is beautiful!
This is so cute and sad, I love when people share more story about secondary characters of their story! It feels more realistic. And also to see something more apart from Crowsong's point of view. I cant wait to see that mentioned battle in the description!
I love this so much! I’ve always liked both Talontail and Jackdawgale (especially Jackdawgale) but now this just pushes them right to the top. I love the harebells too! I don’t know if this was meant but if I’m correct harebells signify humility, submission, and grief. I just found that little bit interesting and very cool. Anyway, I love how all these characters are well-developed and have stories and reasons behind how they acted (even if it was terrible and unforgivable to make Crowsong’s life torture). This is just pure gold in animation/art and story!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M GONNA CRYYYY I LOVE THESE THREEE
LOU THIS IS SO GOOD!!
Jackdaw and talon are baby :(
😭😭💞💞
This is so cute and really makes you see past the rude exterior of Talontail and the cold demeanor of Jackdawgale! I love the expressions; they were drawn so well and this is such a cute story. Also, is it just me, or is there a part where Talontail (as a kit) says "Mom?" Keep up the amazing work! ❤
I might be overthinking it but it seems like Talontail mouthed the words “mom” while she’s crying about NightFalls death and AGGHHH MY HEART IT WAS SO BITTERSWEET!!
i love the lore of all the corvidclan members so much, even though many of them did awful things none are really cartoonishly evil, all having their own wants and things they care about that feel genuine. None of it excuses what some did, but you can understand why the situation with Crowsong became what it did, like with Raveneye’s upbringing and his childhood incident leading to his overzealous belief in his clan’s old morals and his closed off emotions. It’s said a lot, but all of them do feel like the protagonists of their own stories. Even the ones that are bit more hateable (cant think of a better word sorry) like carrioncall are still entertaining, sometimes they remind me of people irl.
Beautiful animatic, i love being able to see more of the other cats stories brought to life!
First of all, Louixie, how are your OC’s so beautifully made, and their stories are so well-written??? HOW? Second of all, i love how in Crow’s perspective, many of these cats (including Jackdaw and Talon) were evil and bullies, but in Talon’s and Jackdaw’s perspective, when you take a look at their backstory, it’s hard to believe these cats were mean, especially what they went through. It makes me see that some of these cats aren’t all-evil when you take a closer look. And third of all, I am coming to ask you a million questions about your style.
This is gorgeous Louixie! And so soon after the AMV!!!
Edit: Oh my lord, I just realised that Talon says “mum.” That broke my heart. 😢
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE AS ALWAYS LOUIXIE!!!
Man, this almost made me cry. How can you draw expressions so well?!?! Their faces seeing CoalClaw dead, passed so much emotion!!
The art, the characters, the expressions, EVERYTHING IS PERFECT!
I have to say, I was never a fan of TalonTail (but to be honest I always liked JackdawGale), but now seeing the pain they passed made me feel more attached to them, their story is really tragic indeed.
But anyways, LOVED IT!!🩵🩵
Jackdawgale is so cute as a baby!! All the designs are beautiful and I love them, this animatic is incredible!! Great job Lou ^^
Oh wow, I haven't cried this hard over somebody's characters and their trauma in awhile. Fantastic work, especially in portraying the confusion, the grief, and the deep feeling of loss. :']
this is so beautiful yet the emotions are clearly there and believe me i shed a tear. amazing as always👏
Listen, I _know_ he's a bully, but I really like Jackdawgale for some reason. It's those bigass irises of his, I'm sure of it. And I was wondering if Nightfall was their ancestor since she also has those + if he was related to "that cat in the You're Gonna Go Far Kid AMV" since they had similar marks. Turns out I was right.
You're doing such a great job laying out the layers for the more antagonistic figures of Crowsong's story, that's really amazing!! You're giving them depth. Oh, and also, thank you so much for not making Talonkit blame Jackdawkit for their mother's death, that one is truly A Trope that grows tiring after seeing it so many times. Glad to see they are a trouble duo
This just makes Talontail's actions towards Crowsong even worse. Along with Jackdawgale. Like her, he has a disability that's entirely outside his control. And instead of being understanding towards her, he and his sister just go along with everyone else and bullies, harasses, invalidates her very existence, just because she's a white cat among cats who think black pelts are supreme.
I'm not sure how I feel about the lore in this world where cats only go to the Dark Forest if they truly feel they belong there, because that would then mean that Crowsong felt she deserved the Dark Forest, along with Ashkit, when NO ONE else even felt slightly guilty for what they did....and still went to StarClan. It's so unfair.
if I remember right Jackdawgale didn’t really participate in the bullying like the other cats, he just didn’t like interacting with her because looking at her messed up his visibility a lot. Not to say that he shouldn’t have defended her or anything
@@_kaleido awwww ok so that makes him a bit better about jim at least. But he still participated in ruthless training against her as well....he isnt exactly guiltless
@@TheRibottoStudios Well to be fair, it’s either follow or get outcasted by the clan, we see Weepingwind, Crowsong’s mother get outcasted bcs she gave birth to an albino, so who’s to say the cats that treat Crow nicely wouldn’t get shunned in the same way. Seeing as Raveneye, who is leader and the father to crow, if her own dad despises her so much, the clan is much likely to follow his orders and views.
It doesn’t justify any of the bullying behaviour tho, I just see the black pelts thing is more of a religion, and they don’t take too kindly to others who don’t fit the description. Especially when the clan blames Crow for the massacre of the 4 cats deaths, one of them being Talon and Jack’s father, so that’s another reason for them to not like her.
you are so based and real ribotto😭🔥
@@_kaleidoe did. In Crowsong’s page it’s stated he is one of her bullies. And look at the “ waiting in the wings” map. He, his sister, and friend were clearly indicated to have been bullying her since she was a kit. Even if he probably was a bystander, it’s just as bad to just watch someone getting abused.
this genuinely had me holding back tears christ this is heart wrenching.
The way you draw their expressions is absolutely amazing. I can feel every emotion in this video just by the way you depict them through their facial expressions and body language. Amazing job omg 💗💕
THIS IS SO CUTE AND I LOVE ALL THE DYNAMICS, MY GOODNESS THIS STORY IS SO COMPLEX AND I LOVE IT!
Omg omg it’s out!! Talontail finally gets the recognition she deserves
She is so pretty and a very good character I love her and her brother 😭
AUGH MY HEART.
the way you draw their expressions makes me FEEL their grief- AUGH
0:18 The way she seemed to say “Mom?” Is so sad :(
😢❤ poor baby
Ive watched this 30 times already and i fricking love
You did it again, YOU MADE ME BAWL MY EYES OUT FROM HOW AMAZING AND SAD THIS IS. This is so gorgeously done, hands down✨✨
Omg, I can't describe this video, it's amazing details, and kits transformation of them is so good, kittens, to kits. Amazing, keep it up, Loixie🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤👍
AGHHHH Nothing is easy in this storyyy! God I almost cried with those poor kids because of how strong the emotion is portrayed. It made me think of my own OCs losing their parents or family members and ahH it just hurttt.
On a happier note I do adore Talonkit and Jackdawkit playing together! I love a good sibling bond! Having a big sister is so adorable for Jackdaw tooo!
Maybe I am too empathic but your works always wakes tears or slight desire to cry out of me 😭I'm thrilled how strong you can portray emotions on your characters in animatics❗ Love you, Louixie!!!
The way u draw eyes and tears is so good!!! And the greyscale and lineart look very cute, good job on another project again!
imma steal your style rn i swear!!1!1!1/j, but i wish i could draw like you my god, your art is BEYOND amazing, i love how you draw them all and the emotions are perfectly drawn out, you're art is basically the BEST art i've ever seen in my life
Cmon i was already crying about ur mapleshade map for the 100th time
Now that more of the lore is being put into place, I'm starting to feel sympathetic for CorvidClan
LOUIXIE THIS IS BRILLIANT!! Animatics set in a blue tone made the mood much sadder. The song progression with the guitar with characters was so beautiful. I haven't heard this artist before, so thank you for sharing it!
Damn are you good at making such an intricate story! I love finding out every piece of history of Corvidclan, the good and the bad, and can't wait to see what's next!
The expressions you draw always give me goosebumps, they just look real, as if you can feel how the characters are feeling - it's incredible!!
I love how in depth you go with each character! It really helps me understand their traumas and develop empathy for them. This is so well written and the emotions are so beautifully portrayed!
That was ABSOLUTLY GORGEOUS! The way you draw the emotions, also the way you fine line every single detail. Everything about that animatic was so good AND your animations are always so smooth!!!!
I’m now conflicted. She’s such a bully to crowsong yet…. THIS!
THIS IS A MASTERPICE! you draw the expressions so well and the lineart is prefect!
AWWW POOR KITTIES!!!!! IM SO GLAD COALCLAW AND NIGHTFALL REUNITED IN KITTY HEAVEN THEY DESERVE THE WORLD I THINK. jackdawgale and talontails relationship is so good my HEART
I'm not a fan of Talontail(she seemed like a total rotten warrior) but I'm a major jackdalgale fan he's my favorite from your story so seeing this and hearing banger of a song playing is just awesome
**totally not crying** talontail is pretty cool ig
Honestly Jackdawgale is my favorite cat from CorvidClan, it's a shame he got brainwashed by their culty traditions, I feel he and Crowsong could have been friends if things had been different
God, the way your art just pulls me away from the real world for while, like I get so invested in everything happening
This was amazing. I love how you keep bringing your OCs to live giving them interesting backstories and how you show us their personality and lifes through time (and videos). Can't wait to see the next big project!
AWWW this is so sad and cute!!

this animation touched me deeply, the quality and the touch of your style made it even better, thank you🥺
OHMYGOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
i am in love with everything here my god-- I'm loving how ur making the other clan cats have stuff to love about them even tho theyre basically all opposing crowsong, making her "i killed them all" thing that more impactful- like there are genuine lives being taken away -- also I love jackdawgale to death holy frick
The shading in the tears 🥲🤌
I can't believe you got me to feel bad for more of the Corvidclan members- 😢
Man I always talk about how it’s hard to make me cry but here we are XD
It’s so beautiful Lou, story and imagery alike.
OHHHHHH MYYYY GOOOSH LOU YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY OUTDONE YOURSELF I AM SOBBING
ITS SO FREAKING GORGEOUS AND THE EMOTION AND EXPRESSIONS??? CHEFS KISS
I just have to say, I really admire your work. For me it inspires me a lot and always puts a smile on my face or when it has a sad mood tears in my eyes.
And even though Jackdawgale grew to be my favorite for some reason, I really love all your characters with their own stories and personality.
OMG IM SO HAPPY U POSTED!! i found u yesterday bc of ur “ur gonna go far kid” animation and i immediately just fell in love with ur work. ur prob my biggest inspiration and im gonna start animating cuz of you!!! keep on making these amazing works of art and never stop!!
I am amazed at your beautiful and elegant animations! It's really very beautiful!
I really love how as the story is revealed more, the characters are shown to not be truly terrible people. Before, I questioned why everyone went to Starclan except Crow and Ash, but not so much now. I adore this nuance in morality, everyone seems to be varying shades of gray.
Like, yes they absolutely should not have abused Crowsong, but at the same time it was because of their beliefs. They didn't really know any better. It is not an excuse, simply a reason.
So, yeah, keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to the next one!
Honestly one of my favorites parts about this story in general is that you actually make every cat more than they appear
To CrowSong her clan is probably just horrible, so it makes sense that when we're seeing things through her POV that's all we get of them, horrible cats
But as soon as we switch the POV we see the humanity behind them
Same thing with CrowSong's father, we can see his humanity when it's from his POV
This doesn't make them *good* cats, but it makes them more *alive*
You giving even the 'bad' characters actual *character* is very cool and sadly something not many people do with OC'S that aren't their favorite
Yet another masterpiece coming from the one and only Louixie. Absolutely brilliant! Your expressions are always on point, and the story is absolutely fantastic and heart breaking. Cannot wait for more animations from you! It's always a treat :]
"why did you bully crowsong so much, she doesn't deserve it"
"i was too young to understand"
AAAAA I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS WAS I LOVE THIS ALL SO MUCHHHH THANK YOU LOUIXIE FOR GIVING US THIS MASTERPIECEEE✨💅💃💃✨💃💅✨💅✨✨
I'm glad the other dudes are getting development! but no matter what they've lost it doesn't excuse their cruelty (love your work Lou!)
thats so pretty, so well drawn, the lore is good and the emotions are so well made
YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I WATCHED THIS DUE TO HOW GORGUES IT IS! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!
Honestly, I’ve always despised these two, mainly since the main pov we were looking at them from was from Crowsong’s. Which of course, seeing as they were her bullies (as seen in Waiting in the Wings and You’re Gonna Go Far Kid), since Crowsong despised them, I did as well, since I didn’t see them from a different perspective. However, this video changed my opinion on them, mainly because I saw them both from a different pov. I still don’t think that they’re innocent, but I do empathize and have sympathy for them. After all, losing their mother at such young ages, and then loosing their father later on, it’s honestly tragic. This also admittedly gives an explanation of why Talontail hates Crowsong so much, after the events of what happened in “Is It Cold Outside?”, I could honestly see why Talontail blames Crowsong for her father’s demise. Grief brings out the worst that’s in all of us, as we’re fueled by anger, devastation, and pain. Though Talontail was already mean to Crowsong, we can see from this video why she hates Crowsong much more then when they were kits. Definitely doesn’t excuse her behavior, but it does make us understand her.
Either way, I’m really excited to see more animatics/animations from the different povs of everyone in Corvidclan. I’d just love to have one from Carrioncall or Sootspot and Smokeevail’s pov
Dude...
This is literally making me cry rn but this animatic is amazing 😭💖
I love it! 0:33 i dunno why but those three Reminds me of Wolf Children in this moment just the characters personalities and it so cool even if its not related
This is so beautiful. Just seeing this makes me feel bad for Talontail and Jackdawgale that their mother and father died but then thinking what they have done to CrowSong (bullying her) makes me feel like I should not. Just the fact that they had a good relationship with each other shows that in not every story somebody has to be blamed for somebody else not making it. (I want to know more about CorvidClan Cats but we will have to wait!)
