Insanity

I'm SO happy with ow this turned out! Sure, there are plenty of mistakes, but this is the first animated(-ish) thing I've ever colored and...and! Well, I'm really looking forward to what you guys have to say about it! ^^
I spent about the last two days on it and it's diffinatly been a positive learning expereince.

Most of you know my OC Spottedstar already, so I won't go into all of that again, (if you haven't, just look around my gallery, lol ) but this is showing her life played out and as she gets older, the ghosts of those closest to her haunt her mind. This was originally going to have a LOT more cats in it, (I think the total was around 20) and would include even the cats who are alive who haunt her thoughts. It was also going to have Fleetfoot and Rowanstorm in there, but...I still don't know if Rowan is dead or not o_. and since I already got rid of the "alive cats" idea, I just stuck with StarClan Battles storyline cats.

Anyway, each ghost as they appear:

Whitespots and Missingfoot- Spottedstar's parents, although Missingfoot died much later on, I decided to keep these two together. Whitespots died fighting a fox, and Missingfoot lost his leg trying to protect Whitespots from said fox, disabiling him for the rest of his life.

Hazelstar and Forestleaf- Spottedstar's grandparents and former leader and deputy of WindClan. Although during their lifetime all they seemed to do was cause trouble for Spottedstar, they did support her after death and even gave Spottedstar two of her lives.

Timberleg- Friend of Spottedstar. I'll talk about him more yet in Spottedstar's Prelude. I will say, however, that he was mentored by Goldenpelt and formed a civil bridge between Spottedstar and Goldenpelt, even though things between them only seemed to get worse.

Peachpaw- Spottedstar's apprentice and close friend. Peachpaw gave Spottedstar the admiration and courage to face her clan when she became leader. After her death though, the last of Spottedstar's patience with Goldenpelt snaped and it triggered Spottedstar's boiling anger.

Mudnose- Spottedstar's mentor and deputy. Mudnose was as rash and rough one could get in his youth, but then seemed to have a change in heart when he started mentoring apprentices. No one is sure why he changed into the wise, loyal, and clever warrior he was, but he was exactly the kind of mentor Spottedstar needed to raise her confidence when it lacked friendship and understanding.

Goldenpelt- Best friend and worst enemy. Clouded by his ambition and coldness, Spottedstar and Goldenpelt went to being best friends to hated enemies; and although feelings still remained between them, their bitterness and anger drove them apart until all the clans were involved in war against Goldenpelt. It was in this war that Spottedstar secretly killed Goldenpelt and now lies about how the tabby died. However, Goldenpelt hasn't given up on his revenge...

Whew! There you have it!

How did I do this?

@crowXfeather1 Thanks so much! ^^

It's funny, I've always wondered what really call my style, but then one of my friends put it perfectly: it's like a Disney cartoon and Anime combined.

Thanks again!
