#warriors map

the scenes are connected by the branch (the branch bridge in the fire scene vs the gathering tree's branch)

the star frame spins and turns into a square to represent holly's feeling of importance/being one of the three spirals away and she becomes like any other cat but Worse (yew branches grow around her square)

Grid is also meant to show how she wants everything orderly and in place/in her control, but as the gathering scene gets more chaotic despite (and because of) her attempt

from holly's mouth grows yew berries, both to indicate her next actions to confront leafpool with them but also i made one berry 'drip' down like blood to show she's still hiding the secret of killing ashfur

and ofc the paper burning away squirrel in the fire scene to reveal leafpool (in my mind this is leaf when she's in the med den being confronted by holly)

AH FORGOT TO MENTION: everyone else has yellow teeth except holly: yellow for fire scene = lies, and white for gathering scene = truth, as holly has this very self-righteous perspective that she's doing a good thing speaking the truth and while everyone else has been doing bad.

The call for the MAP in question is here: Beautiful Liar || 2 Week Beginner Frien...   and my part is here: Beautiful Liar part 30 - Sasha and Goldenflower MAP and the part I did is Tigerstar taking Sasha's collar as a symbolic gesture of his disdain and disrespect for that part of her identity and wanting her to hide her kittypet past so as not to embarrass him, and Goldenflower putting her collar back on as a gesture of respect to what her life as a kittypet and her love for Ken and Jean meant to her.

(Also if you don’t know what I’m talking about, go check out the animatic for the MAP on YouTube! I’m only a backup artist, so I’m probably just going to be cheering from the sidelines, but you can already tell this one is gonna be a BANGER when it’s complete!)
