This is War [Homestuck]

[DantonTheWerewolf]

Just watched this again. Please finish it!

[LuluLuppa]

What system did you use to create this?

[krader13]

@LuluLuppa iMovie

[tiffanyyoung2000]

you did not put equius in the movie.

[krader13]

@tiffanyyoung2000 Yes I did. 0:12

[krader13]

@krader13 Sorry, 0:10

[AngelxSonic]

I am very impressed you drew the work and assembled it yourself -- very well done!! I applaud you for that c:

I love the video and the music cut was smooth enough to where I hardly noticed.

[EPICWINize]

y u remove part of song( sorry if you didn't say it already)

[krader13]

@EPICWINize I edited the song to fit to the images I had drawn. I didn't illustrate the whole song. But I'm planning to!

[EPICWINize]

@krader13 kk thats cool

[JonathanDPhippin]

The only thing I don't get... why isn't SOLLUX the prophet? After all... he IS a prophet.

[WingedIncubus]

@JonathanDPhippin Terezi's text imitates those of the blind prophets. And she's the seer of mind. Sollux is the mage of doom, dog.

[WingedIncubus]

@JonathanDPhippin I bet Mage and Seer are counterparts '-'

[JonathanDPhippin]

@WingedIncubus

I can see why Terezi is listed as the prophet, but Sollux was mentioned as a prophet early when he was introduced because of his vision twofold that let him see the future and the present.

And you're probably right. It would make sense if they were connected classes.

[DantonTheWerewolf]

@JonathanDPhippin Partly correct on the vision twofold. It's technically the future, but not really. His vision was at once his universe, and also the universe they were to create later on. It's not very expanded upon, much like Aradia's "voices of the dead", and blood-related details.

[krader13]

@JonathanDPhippin I've acknowledged this, actually. Some time ago. I haven't been able to work on the updated version yet, so that's why.

[WingedIncubus]

I think your classifications are correct! Don't change a thing!

[xXCarolineKawaiiXx]

Gamzee... a messiah?!?!?

[Darkmuffin9827]

@xXCarolineKawaiiXx Need to brush up on your Homestuck a bit. He's the only choice for messiah.

[Cogo789]

@Darkmuffin9827 not true. theres always Dirk, Jane, and or Jake.... or even Andrew Hussie :/

[Cogo789]

@xXCarolineKawaiiXx Thats what i said! XDD hes like the oppisite of that

[lilyrose2255]

@Cogo789 ...oh just wait.... just wait... heh.

you'll realize why he'd be the only choice for the messiah.

[WingedIncubus]

@xXCarolineKawaiiXx His the Messiah of his own religion~

[syto300]

0:29 is now my computer background

[doubleraiinbow2]

this was my first homestuck video. a friend sent it to me saying that I should read the series. I was super confuzed but now that I read it I'm like "ooooooooooooh. ok, I get it now."

[fizzles5]

I actually really like the characters you chose for each classification! I agree with most of them. And the video was quite intense, even though it was so short.

[Grania1206]

I sunserily like the videp

[wildrunningwolf]

is homestuck like a series? if so can someone link me to the first episode cause it seems cool but idk what is going on in these videos

[poe547]

@wildrunningwolf Its a webcomic that can be located at mspaintadventures(.)com

[syto300]

00:30 is now my computer background

[JoebobTheConquerer]

i have to say, you categorized the trolls perfectly, i was so amazed when i saw gamzee at "the messiah"

[manamaster89]

What's With the Disc. I mean...this is awesome. id love a full version

[SandiService]

ok this is awesome.....!!!!!!!

[shikaxshake]

That gave me goosebumps at the Messiah, Jegus that was amazing :3

[TheIsabel1289]

I like watching this more than the actual song xD

[naru0sasu1fan]

Oh, man, I am SO glad that I finally caught up and know how much sense this vid makes. XD

[AkitaKey]

this is just.....oh gosh I can't even tell you how awesome this is....

[Waddles62949]

@krader13 Cool. I have paint tool sai... maybe I can save up for Photoshop. I already have a tablet too. Awesome c:.

[krader13]

@Waddles62949 Paint Tool Sai is wonderful! I used Sai before I upgraded to a mac, and I think of the two I preferred Sai more, simply because it had more fun tools and controls to use.

[Waddles62949]

@krader13 Well. I HAD paint tool sai. Now I have to buy it and I've had no luck. I feel like I got scammed :l. I'll keep trying to install it though!

[Waddles62949]

What do you use to draw? The results are very nice C:.

[krader13]

@Waddles62949 Thank you! I currently use Photoshop CS5 and a Wacom Intuos tablet. Wonderful products, and I suggest their purchase for those looking into digital art.

[KarkatCaptor]

30 Seconds To Mars

And

Homestuck

I will now die happily when the time comes.

[Croockers47]

So awesome, perfect!

[emootaku7363]

Goosebumps i has them

[mangalover438]

plz make a longer 1 plz it would be epicness

[semajdragonrider]

Karkat.......

Does anybody know where I can get that picture?!?!?!?

[krader13]

@semajdragonrider Link to all my artwork is in the description.

[LLawlietFangirl]

This is one of those Homestuck videos that should strike a chord in everybody. Seriously, I almost started crying.

[xMixan]

It's a terrifying thought.

They're just kids and they're supposed to fight in this war that is destined to lose. They are destined to die.

[mangalover438]

yes gamzee is da messiah he is ment 2 play dat role xp

[kankuroadic]

That Gamzee OUO

[Ratlittle1]

almost died when i saw Gamzee...HOLY MOLY!!!

[umbreon241]

This is just so beautiful and fits the characters perfectly. -3

[TheFerretgirl14]

i SWEAR! i allmost had an orgasm at "the messiah" part!! *goosebumbs*

[psychedelicgunman]

Perfection.

[CaitiedidT]

How did I get here from My Little Pony????

[cena5lifeyeah]

@CaitiedidT cuz ur gay and this vid is gay too !!

[FrozenskinHeniz]

@CaitiedidT There are both very fandomized

[funfunland22]

@CaitiedidT No matter where you are on YouTube, you will either end up at MLP, Spongebob, Anime, or Homestuck. It is one of the unwritten rules of the internet.

[Dete187]

@CaitiedidT The fandoms are surprisingly intertwined.

[PrinnyNamedSebo]

This video is simply AMAZING! I love it! Man..Gamzee..

[Zelkovan]

Does anyone else feel REALLY bad for Karkat? Yeah, he was a douche, but that is just his personality, as well as a way to convey his true feelings most of the time

Then, he had to bear the role of the leader of the team, and bear all the mistakes he made. He was tormented by his past and future's self mistakes and had all his friends die left and right in front of him. To add to all this, right as he was about to win, jack came and he then died in his dreams from jack

I really feel bad for him

[sehromiTOONberry]

@Zelkovan

Going off on that, I'm pretty sure Karkat acts the way he does as a cover up of his insecurities. (Similar to Dave with his "coolkid" demeanor and them both being knights) And based on astrological interpretation of cancers, they tend to be emotional and snappy but they care a lot for others, which is why he probably was willing to be leader in the first place - to ensure everyone's safety.

Man, digging into homestuck's raw story/characters without the silliness is intense.

[BadWolfOfGallifrey]

@sehromiTOONberry

"And based on astrological interpretation of cancers, they tend to be emotional and snappy but they care a lot for others, which is why he probably was willing to be leader in the first place - to ensure everyone's safety."

This I know first hand and you ARE correct. And you're right about everything else, the both of you. And it can be intense, but I do it anyway. I've pissed off my my friend for snapping at her over the 'forevver alone eridan' thing.

[sunshineshipping]

@Zelkovan

more like his past and future selves tried to warn him but he said 'NO, FUCK YOU. PAST ME IS A DUMBASS AND FUTURE ME IS A PRICK!!!'

but yeah i feel p bad for him.

[W81HotPotLickin2nd]

@Zelkovan i ALWAYS thought that angry Karkat was cute. he's just so tsundere.

[DantonTheWerewolf]

@Zelkovan Making mistakes, dwelling on the past, trying as hard as he possibly can to help his friends, all he worked for destroyed in an instant, betrayed and killed by his mentor/friend, watching his friends die. (just expanding your list)

[FuckingKupkakes]

that is fucking amazing..... O.o

[XxTai14xX]

I think that we can all agree the the messiah will always be Gamzee. :)

[KoaryChan]

This is simply amazing.

[AirBorneStudios300]

D --> Would I relly be just a soldier? I feel like I would be a STRONG soldier.

[Dumbledorathexplora]

Amazing vid :D

im gonna sub you now :3

[Sasohimi314]

@PartiAnimeFun011

It's Aradia and Kanaya.

[TheWarnerSister]

@PartiAnimeFun011 That's Aradia on the left and Kanaya on the right.

[CrowehAndLuna]

I loved that Karkat pic.... <3

[kittylunamewmew]

@PartiAnimeFun011 kanaya

[dcg580]

What's a pariah in the first place? While your at it what's a martyr?

[Sephylover14]

@dcg580 A Pariah is an outcast. A Martyr is someone who dies for what they believe.

[loriicore]

Woah okay this was so awesome, I need more!

[Sorreltail768]

the viictor wa2 good for 2ollux,niice piicture for iit too

[NiillaDiisco]

That picture of Karkat. I just. Can't even. His expression is so pained. It makes me burst into tears every time I watch this video.

[T7RT8RT10R]

Be my matesprit?

[kittylunamewmew]

the messiah was perfect for gamzee xDD please finish

[Bobblehead400]

cannot unhear!

[xxKaoruLoverxx]

[SakuKakafangirl]

[trixtor0823]

Can't wait to see the finished song; masterful job as is, and I expect even better :)

[capodarling]

This video literally gave me chills...

Love love love this!

[3amReview]

This is absolutely fantastic. I found it on Tumblr with the comment "I haven't been able to stop watching this for the past 48 hours," and I've been watching it over and over as well. I love the art, the text work, the whole composition---you did a great job, and I love reading that you may be doing a version with the full-length song!

[HeartofShadow26]

This is great, but wouldn't Aradia make a little more sense as the Martyr?

[PhychoHam]

I'm crying. Needless to say, this was epic.

[kojack5555]

They started out as kids playing a game

And came out to be solider's in a war.

[LixLorn]

This is awesome. I agree please finish it!

[NiillaDiisco]

I can't stop watching this. I've watched it at least 413 times since I first watched it last night.

[babymiyavi]

my two favorite things together. i have serious chills right now. <3

[NiillaDiisco]

I got serious chills. Please finish this. Oh god PLEASE finish this. I WILL DIE IF YOU DON'T.

[ImmTheMonster]

May I have a list of all the roles? c:

[Rainshinewarrior]

Who is the Martyr?

[ImmTheMonster]

@Rainshinewarrior Feferi.

[Nogardarret]

Gamzee will ALWAYS be my Messiah. <3 He's my favorite XD By the way, don't get rid of that sun-sparkle you put on 'The Messiah", it's perfect. Maybe you could do other effects for the other lyrics as well!

[CreepyButtons]

'e's not the Messiah, 'e's a very naughty boy

[jadaski1]

So far, I've found a full length version of this song with so-so imagery, and this video with perfect visual accompaniment to the song but with a limited run time. A marriage of your image style/quality with the full song would easily make my favorites list.

I support your efforts to make a full length video!

[Yakida01]

Capricorns represent! HoNk >:o)

[oMISSoZOMBIEo]

Oh my cod. This is brilliant :3 please finish it !

[torbieluff]

This is so amazing that I can't describe it :o)

Please do a final version xD

[FearYubel39]

i loved Eridan's pic ;A; i need teh link! pwease?

[krader13]

@FearYubel39 Link to artwork is in the description! :)

[FearYubel39]

@krader13 THANK YOUS <3 :DD

[GLaD1138]

I wish we were opposite genders

[GLaD1138]

Don't you dare change those drawings

[DwessieMMD]

This is so amazing!! I can't wait for the full version! I loved everyone's roles. I didn't twitch and Gamzee being the messiah, instead I did that "Heh" chuckle-thing.

[GLaD1138]

Make this full length and I will personally give you a hand job

[GLaD1138]

The messiah made me cringe but my patron troll is the victor so, yeah, suck it.

[Miyamashi]

This is really clever! :D

[blizrfiz]

For the reccord; i think the order it's in now fits perfectly as it is.

[TheWarnerSister]

Was this song WRITTEN for Homestuck? XD All the roles are perfect!

I twitched a little at the "messiah".

Please please please finish this.

[Ookami2525]

@TheWarnerSister It seems almost every song was written for Homestuck~ <3

[Sephylover14]

You did an amazing job with this. You should make the whole song. :D

The classifications were PERFECT. The Karkat part made me sad. ): But GREAT FUCKING JOB <3

[JustRp]

I can't wait for the full version!

[RetroTyger]

Beautiful. This brought me to tears. Absolutely amazing.

[Hooshganoogan]

This is amazing. I know someone else did a full version, but that one sucked. Can you do an amazing full version? Thumbs up if you want to see this.

[RanaTheStrange]

This is fantastic on a whole level I cannot comprehend. I love you so much.

[TheLibertarian95]

This is possibly the greatest Homestuck music video so far. I eagerly await to see a full length version

[TheExplodinKitteh]

Eriden=The pariah. Searched it, fits way too well

[kittfox1]

This is amazing do you have a link to the pictures?

[darkfang25]

Can't wait until this is finished. Looks amazing already.

[rubydragonprincess15]

This is beautiful.

[oishiichigo]

this is amazinggg.

*subscribes and goes off to find on dA*

[Pyrotechnically]

THIS WAS AWESOME

I mean hopy shit.

[Baconhead98]

I need to stop watching youtube videos >.< This is screwing up my perspective of Homestuck, being only in the middle of act 4.

[MarysSounds]

I shivered at "the messiah". I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE TROLLS WHEN LISTENING TO THAT. ;_:

[dragonhunterkanna]

Must finish!

[kibateo]

for some reason tears are welling in my eyes.

[undeadzonedout]

I love this song so friggin much

[pisquilah]

THIS IS THE BEST HOMESTUCK VIDEO OUT THERE.

[TheSoulcollector17]

holy shit i never realized how perfectly this song goes with Homestuck.

[MrArfyou]

Can you please post that picture of Gamzee somewhere.

hElP a BrOtHeR oUt, MaN :o)

[krader13]

@MrArfyou There is a link to my dA gallery on my channel page. If you go to the homestuck folder of my gallery, you'll find it there!

[MrArfyou]

@krader13 *o* Thank you.

You get all of the love.

[FearThyTaco]

All my friends say that I am the manefestation of Gamzee, and I have no freakin' clue on what to feel at 0:33 and beyond, either I'm whooting, cuz I have an awesome pic/ title, or FuCkInG pIsSeD that I have no eyes....

[s1005957]

I got fucking chills!

[Yakida01]

Dude, if you make a full version of this, I would REALLY appreciate it. This is the only song that I enjoy from TSTM, and I could watch this video all damn day.

[NisshokuProductions]

I love the whole thing.

The classifications are perfect, and I don't think you need to 'fix' anything.

Keep up the good work! <3

[Mossstar8]

HOLY SH-

[sharb97]

I love you. Marry me?

[Tatsu0chan]

love this song and the art is awesome! I totes support this becoming full length

[zoster24]

PLEAAAAAAAAAASE KEEP MAKING THIS ;A; FDLAOIFJDSLAFJ HURRYHURRYHURRYHURRYHURRYHURRY­...PLEASE.

[Hinria]

Gamzee always gives me shivers when I get to his part xD

I hope that you'll make a finished version! (Btw, I like the grouping you did :3)

[compowinner]

Awesome. Just awesome. Awesome.

[kagemihari]

pretty much everything about this is brilliant...i think you nailed the ordering, and i would love to see a longer version!

[Chirigami]

Whooa I found this by total chance and I thought it'd be terrible... xD It was actually hugely awesome :D. Are you planning on making a full version or are you going to leave it like this? :)

[Chirigami]

@Chirigami Oh, sorry... I'm an idiot. I usually read the description but I was in a rush before. You said you will make a full version. Never mind my previous question.

[krader13]

@Chirigami That's okay! :)

[twothcoopth]

Moar

[jyaternick]

Amazing how Homestuck's rich symbology fits so well into so many other forms of expression.

[KunoichiKazuko]

some one finish this vid RAAAAAAGH

gamzee teh messahia -kneels with gusto- herp

[GarnetxWolf03]

O_O This is...Wow, just wow. That new version can't come fast enough.

[destructiondragon360]

I can just about understand all of them except Sollux. What make's him the Victor?

[CrazySquirrelXD]

fiiiiinnniiiish PLLLLZZZZZ <3

[00Clank]

The only issue I have is call Eridan a Pariah. He's Royalty, right? Kinda the opposite.

Still, glorious! This is short but sweet.

[Dete187]

@00Clank But he is a social pariah. Even before he started killing people.

[00Clank]

@Dete187 Aah, there we go. Normally it means someone of low birth and what not, like Aladdin.

I see what you mean though, that makes sense.

[Maggzys]

I started crying at Karkittys face!!! T.T

[gomenasai4evrything]

i really wish for this to be complete >w<

[Rinincali]

This video is freaking amazing. Chills and so much love :D

I've watched this at least 20 times in 3 days @_@

[TheServantOfTheKing]

Yeah, I love this ordering too, it couldn't have been more perfect. And the art is AMAZING @.@

[AngelNicholson]

I actually love what you have here. I don't see why people are getting so grumpy about it :/

I think the way you classified everyone was absolutely perfect.

[naruhina2894]

Make it longer!!!! :( love the vid

[apollo9245]

oh wow! I really like where you're going with this, and actually I didn't notice anything major that I thought needed a change. I'm super excited for the full length version, and I'm sure any change you intend to make would be a good one. (For the record though, I think you have everyone here classified pretty accurately though)

[ilovethegorillazalot]

this is just perfect...just...so...perfect.­..no words...just amazement...

[Namikawa127]

Everything fits perfectly, but I have a request. Can be Aradia more centered in 'the honest'? And Eridan's head more visible? 

[krader13]

@Namikawa127 I actually didn't draw Eridan's head into the image. It was meant to be that way. And the Aradia image was shared with Kanaya. But I'm currently working on a new version of it, so everything will be different.

[BigMaij]

@krader13

Just a suggestion for the Honest, maybe have them standing closer together, perhaps back-to-back, so the zoom-in doesn't cut either one out.
