A fun little 2D animation that my friend and I made for our ~final projects in digital arts~ class at Dartmouth! Everything was either hand-drawn on Procreate (which is why that frame rate be so low – my hands got tired that school quarter) or 3D modeled on Maya. Can you tell I was a Warrior Cats super fan?

Our story was inspired by the viral video "Ancient battle-scarred feral cat meets tiny kittens", where an old cat called Mason learns how to love again when he meets some energetic kittens. You can find that video here:    • Ancient battle-scarred feral cat meet...

  • @glowworm2
    That was adorable. The little kitten has the cutest design ever--especially when their eyes get all shiny!

    Reminds me of my sisters cats. This past summer my little sister adopted a rescue cat, Millie, who had lived her entire one year life on the streets. A week later our older sister (who still lives with us and our parents) found a VERY sick kitten, Biddington, on the side of the road. After Biddy had recovered he tried playing with the big cats. My own cat Finn is the biggest and most literal scaredy cat you’d ever meet so he would just hide. But Millie was more aggressive. To this day she’s still the most dominant and aggressive cat. Millie still doesn’t like Biddy and will be mean to him when he only wants to play. But maybe she’ll eventually calm down.

    Can i just say thank you for this beautiful creation? It made me tear up, for real. Because I came out of a very toxic relationship and I was like the brown cat. Hissing and growling. And a person came into my life , like the blue kitten. And I hurt them too, I was upset with everybody. But they never gave up on me either and even even I hurt them, they were around. And now we are together. Thank you so much for making this , I feel this on such a personal level, it made me cry. It was really powerful for me.
  • This was really cute with a nice animation style. The only thing I would suggest is to increase the frame rate, though I could see where you guys were going with it. I hope you do well in school, and that you move forth to create great things.

  • Yessss. There is no cat design I love more than vaguely cat-shaped blobs. So simple, so pure.
  • This is incredible! Good job! Getting some serious kitbull vibes here.
