Overview
Dawn is an original animated series made by birdsydoodle39 and released on Youtube in episode format. A trailer for the series was first uploaded on September 17th 2017. The series follows a collection of winged wolf characters. The story is based on an original story trilogy titled Dawn written by birdsydoodle’s. The books in order being Dawn: Power of Four, Dawn: Love and War and Dawn: The Final Battle. All three books were written and published between 2015 to 2017 and are currently available to read on Wattpad. The final book is currently incomplete.

In the description of the trailer it is stated that the series originally intended to have twelve episodes. This was based on the idea that each episode of the animated series would consist of information covering about six chapters of its respective book. With twenty three chapters per-book divided into roughly four episodes.

A sneak peak of the first episode titled ‘(SNEAK PEAK) Dawn: The series - “Head Elder Meeting” (CLIP)’ was released on February 8th 2019. It showed a two minute long clip from the episode featuring several characters. With it came the announcement that the full episode would be premiering the coming weekend. On February 10th 2019 Dawn: The Series (Episode 1) premiered on Youtube. The full episode ended up being over twenty minutes long, a majority of which was fully animated. The episode also contained a blooper reel segment at the end where birdsydoodle’s had roughly sketched out storyboard like images to accompany the voice actors recordings.

In the description of the episode, birdsydoodle’s left a short FAQ of questions they might receive about the episode. One of these questions was ' When is episode 2? '  In answer to this question birdsydoodle39 stated that they didn’t know. After over a full year of working on the single episode they wanted to work on projects other than Dawn for a while. Instead recommended those who wanted to know what happened next in the story should just read the Wattpad books. Though the possibility of a second episode appearing some day is still there, birdsydoodle39 could not guarantee the series continuation. birdsydoodle39 has since moved on to working on a Webtoon’s comic titled Chimera Heart and no further updates on Dawn have been released.
