Description Sssssooooooooo....
This happened apparently lol

This is fanart for a MAP (Multi Animator Project) called, "Behind Blue Eyes" and it features, Ashfur as the focus of the collab.
I'm not a part of it, but after listening to the song on literal repeat the entire time I was making this, I started to feel that this song fits him perfectly :'3

Here's the link to the MAP call: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UovWmw…

I'm not sure how the hell I managed to make this look so good, but I love how it turned out :3c
I was focused on trying to make a shape and form for the character first before everything else began to follow suit. I wasn't exactly sure what I was going for at first. Hell, it wasn't even going to be Ashfur, but because of the song, I just instantly made it into fanart lol

If you're wondering, Ashfur was killed by Hollyleaf, another cat in his clan. She was downright pissed at him for basically nearly burning her and her siblings when they were trying to escape from a wildfire. He did it on purpose so the she-cat that he was in love with, Squirrelflight, would suffer like he did when she dumped him..... and that backfired miserably because they weren't even her kits.
There's more to the story, but I'm pretty sure everyone and their elderly knows about the story at this point.

So the point of the MAP is that Ashfur is going to Starclan (Cat Heaven) after briefly stepping foot in the Dark Forest (Cat Hell) and he reminisces on his life all the way up to his death. The music really sells it for me and plus, these map parts in particular are my absolute favorites and are the reason I found this MAP in the first place lol

You're welcome ^w^
I glad you like it! I had a blast doing it x3
I hope to see the final product of the MAP soon :3c
It looks really promising and very unique from all the others I've seen~

(Sorry for the late reply ;-

I'm glad to hear you think it's unique! When I wrote the first draft to show my idea to Askila I wanted it to shine a new perspective on this admittedly quite overused character/his story

And although I have a feeling it might still take quite a while till all parts are done, the parts that have been finished so far (as well as some of the WIPs) already look really great - it's always awesome to see how creative some people get with what they're given

Yeah I feel ya, all I ever see is people constantly showing that fire scene
and the ENTIRE conflict between him, Squirrelflight, and Brambleclaw (star)
but never showed any moment of him doing badass things before that whole thing transpired
The boy has been through a lot of shit, but that's the one thing people remember him for...
...
Like AlexHarrier did a fine job in showing it the most even if it was never colored
but everyone else's versions always struck me as trying to be too dramatic from what
actually happened in the books (I myself had never read the books concerning Ashfur's descent
into madness, but I've seen far too many animations to know what happened for real as
Squirrelflight didn't cry during the scene)...

Honestly what reeled me in especially to this idea was AlexHarrier's and Meow286's parts like I had mentioned in the description
and at the time I had no idea what was going on until I actually looked at the MAP call itself
Honestly between this and Sagutoyas' Je Te Pardonne MAP, I'm excited for both because it's hella refreshing :"3
