Canary Mapping

History (wip)
Canary Mapping is a mapper from the Canary Islands (Spain). He started watching mapping videos un summer 2015 and tried making mapping for the first time in December 2015. He was too busy to start up a youtube channel and he did not want his first video to be unfinished, so his first test at mapping was uploaded on vimeo on 22nd December 2015 (you can view it here, but be warned it's really bad quality, as he did not know how to add text with gimp yet (he made the text with the brush tool)). He started his YouTube channel the 7th of January of 2016. On that day he uploaded two videos, both related to his first series "Alternate Wars: Velaccia". During the rest of the month he kept uploading videos regularily, making three new series: "Alternate Futures of Africa", "Alternate Futures Of "New" Earth" and "(New) Alternate Futures of Europe". Velaccia had only 7 episodes, the last one( "Anschluss everywhere") being released on 29th January 2016, with no series finale of any kind, the series was just abandoned. Alternate Futures of Africa was the first series with a proper end, with the last episode "Empires Rise and Fall" being released on 2nd March 2016. His first Afoe finished on 24th February 2016, with the fourth episode "End", the series would continue in a new season that was formally started on 1st March 2016 with the first episode "Lots of countries", this serious would become his main series for the next two months, in which he released 5 more episodes, until the last one "Drama in East" was released on the 27th of August 2016. He planned to make a whole new map for the series by adding fog to unpopulated areas, terrain, cities, a darker hue of green, and removing the countryballs. But he never finished that map so the series remained in hiatus, until he stopped working on them years later.

He makes old-styled videos (he takes inspiration rom 2014 and 2015 mapping, which is the one that he watched first). Because of this, many other mappers call him bad quality, but he is trying to improve!

After re-joining Discord in late 2020 (he hadn't used it in years) he started to join more mapping servers (he was only in 2 or 3 before), that way he saw how mapping had evolutioned. Most of Canary's favourite mappers quit in 2017, and since he was banned from TFOE for a year (his old account was hacked and used to grief pages, and when he made a new one an admin thought it was an alt and banned it :( for 1 year ) he had not kept up with mapping a lot. Canary kept doing videos in his 2016 style until mid-2020. Recently he has changed his style thanks to the feedback received on discord, nonetheless, he will still continue his mapping style, just with better graphics and such. This means, he is not willing to adapt to the current trend of complex plots with deep storyline. He preffers light-hearted fun storylines for casual watching, just like the old mapping he used to watch and that inspired him to start mapping on his own.

Note: Canary doesn't always make it public when he cancells a series, since this part of the article is made by himself he marked as cancelled the series he has cancelled in his mind, most (if not all) of the cancelled series do not have an "official statement" saying they are cancelled.

Biography (outdated)
Canary Mapping is a mapper from Spain. He makes "vintage" styled mapping videos, but he hasn't uploaded in the past months because he's busy with studying. He has also moved from youtube to vimeo, so all of his newer videos will be uploaded there, alongside other random videos. His hobbies are: mapping (obviously), listening to music, conlanging, learning languages and reading.

Favourite Mappers
Due to being banned from tfoe for most of 2017, and also many the mappers he watched quitting that year (for example, Poleria Mapper, Brazilian Mapping or Paraibaball, Daniel Mapper, etc.) Canary Mapping barely watched new mappers since 2017. He did not explore for new mappers until he started joining servers on discord in December 2020.

The (active) mappers he likes to watch are:


 * 1) Freezepond
 * 2) Spicy
 * 3) VoidViper

He also considers Lily Allan's afoe to be the best he has yet watched. (Sadly, she quitted mapping and left the afoe on a cliffhanger, but he thinks it is a good afoe anyways).

Personal life
Canary was born in one of Spain's top 10 largest cities, but his parents are actually from a small rural town. He lived there for the first twelve years of his life, until he moved to a small town in Tenerife with his family. Recently, he moved to the north area of the island to be closer to the university, where he is currently studying Geography and Territorry Organization.

He speaks semi-fluent English (B2 level) and basic French (A2), though he wants to learn more languages (he's good at languages). But first he preffers to perfect his English and learn more French.

meme time

Fuck covid he wants face-to-face classes, online classes are a PAIN.
