This piece was inspired by the new single from The Crane Wives, "The Well". The color palette references the song's cover art and music video.
I'm very happy I saw TCW perform live on November 5th, 2023! There, they showed previews for upcoming songs. "The Well" was one of them. Since they've now officially released the song, I wanted to make a piece in celebration. I thought the lyrics fit Leafpool, so I used some imagery that connects to her story.
Leafpool is on snow, guarding her babies. There is water cascading around her as stars shine it in. The water was inspired by the moon pool and wells, so I put Leafpool at the "bottom". Leafpool has to hide her feelings and the truth whilst carrying the burden of Starclan's judgement (the spirits at the top), thus cowering. I thought it'd be a cool visual to have Leafpool's tabby stripes mimic a ribcage, but I decided to go for a more subtle approach to the skeleton imagery. After all, everyone has a skeleton in their closet (haha). Even though Leafpool is not directly involved in the fire scene, she still had a major influence on those events. Fire is an intense force of nature and the opposite of snow & water, so it made Starclan's presence more threatening.
Since my semester ended, I plan to compile my 2D Animation I coursework into a video to share with you guys :]
