Idea for a thing

I was thinking, maybe we could do a MAP, but instead of a video, it was a picture. I feel like there's a name for that I don't know. Anyways, it would be somewhere like a gathering, but just a few noteworthy cats, like leaders, deputies, medicine cats, and any other really important cat. Right now, I would just like to know who would be interested in drawing in a thing like this. If you would like to draw for this, please fill out the code.

What's a MAP? All I know with that name is standardized testing, and I don't think that's what we're doing.

OOH
I KNOW THIS

MAP stands for Multi-Animator Project. It's where multiple animators get together and animate chunks of a song (usually no more than 30 seconds long). They mostly draw the same characters and setting, so the main idea of a MAP is to see the shift in art styles and skill levels.

I think what Squirrelnose is referencing here is a PMV or a Picture Music Video. It's like a MAP, but instead of animation, it's pictures that change in time with the song.

Interesting MAP examples:

Anyways, I'd love to do this but i don't have a way to create digital art yet
good luck tho!

How many cats would you be willing to draw?: Ehmm... depends of how much time I have, I guess. I mean, I can draw like 8 cats per map part.
Drawing sample:

You already know my art but here I go anyways ;):

Ah, I see.
Username: Jadewings93
Are you active?: Very. All day, every day, 24/7(ok a little exaggerated)
How many cats would you be willing to draw?: As many as required, I can flip out a detailed cat with a semi-detailed background in less than half an hour.
Drawing sample: Er... I lost most of my tablet art so I have uno finished. Images doesn't work on this device so the thread's here.

Username:
Are you active?:pretty active as of now I haven't been cause I've been working two jobs
How many cats would you be willing to draw?:as many as needed
Drawing sample: look to the signature I have a drawing there I can also send my other drawings I've done in as well.

Are you active?: Yes
How many cats would you be willing to draw?: That depends on the designs. I will freely admit I am awful at backgrounds though.
Drawing sample: This whole thread really, but I'll put a couple below anyways

Examples:

Wow, this got a lot more interest than I expected.

First off, what scene would all of you want to do? I personally think that a gathering would be the best, but I would like to know your opinion. Also, what song would people like to do? I'll make an official topic for posting the pictures, and maybe make it a poll for the song if there are too many ideas. (I was thinking maybe Roots by Imagine Dragons)

And thank you Drippy, for explaining all of this better than I ever could.

I really like the song! (I love Imagine Dragons <3 )

About the main scene of the MAP, I believe that a Gathering is a good option if you want to show the stories of the five clans, however, I'm not sure how the map parts are going to work. I mean, we just draw cats in a gathering? I was thinking maybe showing up small stories of the most relevant cats in the clans like you said: the actual leaders, deputies and important medicine cats and other cats with interesting lives.

For example, we show Ivystar at the Gathering and then we flash-back to her life and how she got to be the leader of Riverclan (of course, this will probably need more than one part or do her story super quick and with a few images that show her most important events). Then, we go to the next character.

This is just a fast idea :3

I'm interested in a project like this but, I'm not sure if we could do much with a gathering. They're notorious for not really going anywhere unless there's a plot.

I was thinking like the four seasons somewhat with each season being a different clan. For example Winter may be Shadowclan, Spring Thunder and Sky, Summer Riverclan ('cause you go swimming in the summer) and fall Wind. It'll just probably have the cats enjoying the seasons... i guess... I really don't have any idea you guys decide

hey
just a thought

so I'm pretty sure y'all remember the Mist Plot, right? Well, there's this song, called Blackout, and I think it would go really well with this project if it was about the Mist. I could do an Idea Outline (character placement, setting, who's talking, etc) if you're interested?

I think we could do a thing that has to do with a bunch of different mates that are happily living, and the have those love songs that are absolutely everywhere, and then as the song takes a dark twist so do the pics
EX:
good part of song has pictures of Willowflight/Cherryfang and Lilacpaw/Russetpelt and Tinylegs/Moonlight and stuff like that.

Then at the bad part of the song comes Lionspark/Bramblefrost and that incident, then the other ones that went bad.

Just throwing out ideas here.
