A big painting of Rusty from Warriors that I did Saturday for the 5 GIANTS MAP ! You can see the painting at the very end of the video, as an outro. The timing was very convenient too because yesterday was Warrior Cats' 15th anniversary.
Honestly, I have a lot to thank for the Warriors novels, including getting me into art, giving me so many friends and a lot lot more. And I still have a load of old 2010 Warrior Cats Fanart if you're interested in seeing some: sta.sh/2xr97zarfbk?edit=1
I also have Redbubble prints and stuff here, as I've had a few people ask: www.redbubble.com/people/maple…

I've watched that MAP twice now and still love it. Well worth the wait for it to be done and this piece at the end of the credits is well worth the viewing on it, especially the way the transitioning is as a kind of roll down reveal to show it off. Kind of a cherry on top to all the adventures in the books. Because as it says, "By Fire, our Clan will be saved" and this piece alludes very well to that.

I don't usually comment on other's posts, but this image was really moving for me.
I got into the Warriors series in 2009 because of my cousin pestering me that I would enjoy it. I eventually did later that year and since then I've been hooked. I'm actually rereading the series now, since I had convinced my good friend of 7 years online to finally dive into cat hell with me. This series ignited my flame as an artist, starting with goofy drawings of cats and silly tracings of flightfootwarrior's "Scourge's Flawed Design" and Paint.net recolorings of AlliKatNya's Warriors fanart. I've ended up in several galleries throughout high school, and I can honestly say I probably wouldn't have gotten there without Warriors.
Seeing this image at the end of Five Giants brought me to tears; it hit me that because of the writings of a flame-colored kitten wandering into the forest brought me to where I am today. It was a beautiful way end to that MAP and you did an amazing job on drawing it to a close. With yours and other's art inspiring myself and many, many others throughout the community, I just want to say thank you for being such an inspiration to so many people.
And, of course, to say that this piece on its own is still absolutely stunning and that I wish you well with your art in the future. <3

This is such an awesome story!
I would have never started drawing cats if it weren't for this series. Honestly, this is what motivates me to draw so much. Seeing others art, and wanting to be just as good as them.
I feel like I wouldn't be where I am now without warriors, also. It's really inspired me draw more, and to write.

Aaaa thank you!!
I know for sure I wouldn't be where I am today without Warriors. I forgot to mention I'm into writing as well (but I suck at actually writing anything oops, just thinking of ideas and procrastinating too much lmao) and it's probably because of this series, too.
It's such an inspiring series! I love it to pieces and it's so amazing seeing how many others follow the same thoughts and paths as me about it.

Aww man. Your drawing at the end of the MAP made me want to cry. It's just such a great ending image. Knowing where Firestar started and seeing his lil face. Man, letting go of a series can be so hard sometimes. Warriors will forever be my favorite series <3

I want to buy the print so I can forever remember this, but it crops the collar out strangely

The feels hit so hard man,,
I honestly teared up watching the map and wanted to scream out of excitement ;;w;;
So much emotions were welling up with how beautiful it all turned out to be and just how far it's come
There's so much fan art, tributes, people and just so much more to it that not everyone can comprehend
I've been in the fandom since my pre-teen years and it has personally helped me to improve and to keep drawing
Met some amazing people that I probably wouldn't have meet without this series at all
I can't thank the Erin's enough for making the series and just how much it's brought people together
And everyone in the fandom as well, there's a heck ton of rad people <3
And ohh boy, this painting is just godly and truly beautiful
It truly brings out the emotions of how far the series and many people have come
When the video was ending and it was fading into this painting, I seriously felt so much emotions hit me at once
This really shows the beginning of it all and I haven't seen any other painting beat that like this has so far
It's really a one of a kind thing to experience these types of things and I for one am super happy to be in this community <3
Happy 15 Year anniversary everyone!! <33

But thank you so much for the compliment !!
