Darkstripe; a horrible cat who couldn't even kill one kittypet.
Woot! First PMV I've actually ever completed. I had the idea for this after listening to the song, which I'm not sure if the song fits Darkstripe that much, but the idea stuck with me so here we are. I always found Darkstripe an intriguing villain, you don't learn that much about him though, so it's fun imagining his own conflict in the gaps.
This PMV was an ordeal to put together. I was working on and off with it for months using Krita and Windows Movie Maker. I had finally finished and saved the video only to watch it back with obnoxiously lower quality which I wasn't happy with. So eventually I've remade the video (wasn't too hard I still had all the images) with Opentoonz and I'm finally happy with how the quality looks. (still a bit grainy, but that might be from the images themselves? Whatever, I'm done messing with this video)
Yes, I know I misspelled "Jonny" the entire video. I realized halfway through, but since I couldn't easily change the old images I just stuck with the misspelling. It's not a huge deal.
Also there's a mistake at 1:41. I forgot to turn off a layer lol
SONG: I'll Be Your Jonny on the Spot - Ween

OH MY GOSHHHHH - i love how the 'bad cats' (in Darkstripe's PoV) are represented by a 'collar' around their neck because they've been 'corrupted' by a kittypet!!!
Even if u look at dark stripes pupils they represent the symbol on tigerstars head which I think represents the influence of tigerstar over darkstripe
I wanted to note how Sorrelkit doesn’t have a “collar” around her neck, like he deep down knows she has done nothing wrong. But with Featherpaw and Stormpaw, they have collars because of their parents even though they are so young. I don’t know if it was an intentional detail but I thought it could speak to his views deep down about the cats around him, when she in specific doesn’t have a collar
Especially because she's a kit + related to him + thunderclan. I think having all of those things makes her different, but he still goes through with hurting her due to Tigerstars influence even if she is innocent in his eyes. Really shows the disgusting corrupting type of loyalty overcoming any sort of values he might've had giving him the audacity to attempt to kill his own half little sister..
I like how Graystripe and Darkstripe look so similar, maybe because Darkstripe would probably see Graystripe as being the same as him: a follower, just this one following a false idol. I love the color pallet and how the only two kinda saturated colors are blood and Firestar, making Firestar feel like he isn't supposed to be there.
What’s also cool is that his eyes look… dead. Like he’s lost his soul.
They're brothers which makes sense
graystripe is darkstripe's younger brother too
idk if im the only one who has noticed this, but id like to note that Scourge, although he is of kittypet origins, does not carry the kittypet collar marking the way the "villains" in Darkstripe's POV do. Thats because Tigerstar is what we call a hypocrite and only teamed up with Scourge because of his army and his strength. He set the fact that he was a kittypet aside. And therefore so does Darkstripe. The "collar" scourge carries only shows the teeth and claws of bloodclan because hes just a weapon to Tigerstar. Nothing more
I love how Fireheart is betrayed with horns and devil tail like he’s something that shouldn’t exist in Darkstripe’s world
I like how similar his design is to greystripe, seeing as they’re half brothers.
I love how the bas cats in darkstripe's pov are sharp andbhave the collar, meanwhile darkatripe himself is round and cute. He thinks as himself as someone who's doing the right thing, hence the friendly shape.
Darkstripe’s killing blow being a neck wound is such perfect dramatic irony.
I love firestar is portrayed in dark stipes pov, cuz in the book darkstripe sees firestar as a kittypet, nobody and a demon in his eyes after he fought and protected blue star from tiger claw, and basically all cats with these collar markings needs to be put down in his eyes, because he sees them as weak cats following a kittypet. which is fucking awesome in the pmv
this is genuinely one of my favourite pmvs out there. i adore the designs, song, colours, symbolism and everything inbetween. criminally underrated!!
I really like how dark and gloomy the colors are! It really fits. The song also totally fits Darkstripe, as he’s always there to do whatever Tigerstar tells him to, he is mostly certainly a “Jonny on the spot” for him. I really like the symbolism in the designs as well. This is a fantastic pmv.
I love the art in this, and all of the symbolism is SO good. Like the collars on the other thunderclan cats (including longtail, once he accepts fireheart), and the stars in darkstripes eyes that grow with his worship of tigerstar, dying away in his death only to come back with a vengeance in the dark forest. Theres just so many neat little details.
i know this is a year old- but holy shit my partner and i have watched this video daily since we first saw it. we genuinely keep seeking it out and watching the entire thing and simply gawking at how fuckin awesome it is afterwards DKJSLKJSL this pmv is genuinely GORGEUOUS????? from the colors, to the designs, to the shapes, to the song choice, just??? everything is so perfect??? i love the constant movements and how firestars represented in darkstripes eyes. not to mention the entire way you portrayed his obsession with tigerstar and firestar by proxy?????? its AMAZING???? plus this song is genuinely just the EMBODIMENT of darkstripe to me. just overall chefs kiss and def top 3 pmvs for me.
A lot of people are talking about the collars (and rightfully so; they're such a cool detail), but I wanted to shed some light on the red stars in Darkstripe's eyes. He's spent so long following Tigerstar and his bloody path to leadership - not wearing the crown, as Tigerstar is, but dreaming it. When he dies, the red stars disappear from his eyes, reflecting how, in the books, he's afraid and regretful. Yet this is brief, as he finds Tigerstar again and goes right back to the vile way he was before. I also love how Scourge's design is similar to Firestar's, just without the devil horns - not only does it symbolize their relationship as half-brothers, but also how Scourge is evil for killing Tigerstar, but less evil because, well, Tigerstar employed him.
There aren't enough words to describe how much I ADORE this PMV, my god. I found it months ago and even still I can't help but keep revisiting it so pardon me if I gush a bit
Darkstripe is one of my problematic favourites of the series and I love how you chose to characterize him here, both through his expressions and through the subtle bits of symbolism (the "collars", the almost halo-esque star that Tiger has, the starstruck pupils Dark has that mirror that star to show his fixation on Tiger, every character other than him noticeably not having pupils, etc) to kind of help visualize his perspective on events in the first arc and how he views the different cats in his life
Also, I love how despite the lineless style, the minimal colour palette and the simplicity of the designs, you can still clearly tell who is who.
Absolutely amazing work! 💖
Yoooo this is so cool! You portrayed his warped worldview really well :0
THIS IS SO GOOD IM‼️‼️‼️ OBSESSED‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ THE STYLIZARION TH E DESIGNS THE SYMBOL8SM IRS ALL AAAGAGREGAHHAHHARGRAHH I LOVE DARKSTRIPES DESIGN I LOVE DARKSTRIPES DESIGN FIREHEARTS IS SO SMART AND GRAYDTRIPE LOOKS LIKE DARKSTRIPE ITSAAAAAAAAAAAQQAAAAAQGSGSGAGQG
Im sooo bad at meaningful comments but this is so so good ive been watching it on repeat every day for like 3 days now im so glad the algorithm is showing this to people
Type of PMV I just NEED to show someone but I've got no one to show. Gonna go harass my friends who know nothing about warriors hold on
Darkstripe is an important character to me. He is one of the most misunderstood and underrated characters in warrior cats and you pictured him perfectly omfg
Oh this absolutely SLAPS
Anyone with an appreciation for Warriors/Ween content is AWESOME
I love your usage of muted color and dark backgrounds, it really ties everything together :))
I like how the plus shape can work both as a star and as crosshairs imagery
This is an awesome video! It's so stylistic - I especially love the effect of the red star shape over Darkstripe's eyes
The darkness that surrounds this PMV goes perfect with the tone of the song, and just Darkstripe in general. I love this.
THIS IS SO RAD!!!!! The idea of showing us everything through Darkstripes pov is so clever and your style realises the concept so well!!! I love this!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH the colours and the constant shifting of the background.. you portrayed his viewpoint so perfectly and i LOVED the designs for all of them
I love how Graystripe and Darkstripe almost look identical since theyre brothers!!!
(i thought i commented but oh well)
i really like how greystripe and darkstripe look almost identical
i feel like most people forget theyre brothers so thats a nice detail
ALSO DARKSTRIPE LOOKS SO SQUISHY I JUST WANNA AUGGHHHHH
i also like the orange star above tigerstar and how darkstripe has the same stars in his eyes and they get bigger as he starts to obsess over tigerstar more and more
What a fun and gorgeous PMV!!! I could watch it over and over again
Watching again and falling in love again with every bit of symbolism, you're a star
WEEN AND WARRIOR CATS. IM SO OBSESSED
imagine my surprise when i found out this badass song was made by the funny spongebob band....
We need a super edition on dark stripe
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED :,(
the colors & shapes are amazing- you have such a unique & great style
great artwork and animation! please keep drawing.
This is so pretty?? You deserve so much more credit for this!! It’s so well done and the lineless style suits the chaotic vibe! Your handwriting is also really nice
man this is SO cool... the stylization, the rythm !!! it's absolutely incredible i love it !
i’m obsessed with this!! the art style, the symbolism, the editing.. so cool..
the art in this is absolutely breathtaking. i aspire to make art like this one day
never did I think I'd see a warriors pmv with a ween song!! I grew up w that band and this pmv matches exactly how I'd imagine it to w that song and the character, this is amazing I love it so much
OMG THIS IS SO SICK how does this not have more views oh my god ?? the fucking symbolism!!!!! the colors!!! augh its all top tier!
Im OBESSESSED with the style of this!! So creative and interesting to watch! The subtle messy movement of the characters and background colors, the design of fireheart as some “monster”, just everything. This was so awesome
HOLY SHIT THIS RULES!!! Amazing music choice too!!
You weren't the first to make a warrior cats ween video lololol common catsoda L
This looks really cool! I like the designing 👍
Also a nice take - a demon Fireheart from Darkstripe's pov
YES!!!! darkstripe is one of my faves and this is probably the best video ive seen abt him
let me tell you. when i found out the band who made this banger were also the minds behind Ocean Man, I was shocked T.T
Anyways, love the style and color scheme. Smthm about the mostly-lineless style makes the teeth look almost hyperdetailed in a gritty way. Fitting for darkstripe, freakish little minion he is lol
I really hope you become more popular!! I love York art and the general ideas like the collars on peoples necks who are brefriended by Firestar
YOOOOO this PMV is so good, i love this so much
we need more ween warrior cats, your brain is massive. i love it

Thank you! I’m afraid I don’t remember what exact brush I used, but it was a rectangular shaped blending brush that I just kinda, scribbled with lol. And then I made those scribbles look like splatters by blending them around with streaks and scattered spots.
