/!\ POTENTIAL SPOILERS for the Teal Mask and Indigo Disk Expansion of Pokemon Scarlet/Violet! /!\ (originally posted Jun 15 2025 - this is a reshare from when I took it down) WOOO I just finished the Indigo Disk main story for Scarlet/Violet late this May, so the pokemon hyperfixation is real rn (Kieran my son!!! Gamefreak seriously let me adopt him alreadyyyy-) and y'know what that means: use that motivation to draw a heck ton of stuff before you don't feel like art-ing anymore lol I had this idea the other day (actually it was an idea of a pmv for about half of the song, this is just part of it, so it's pretty short) and also I realized I haven't legitimately animated in forever, so I decided to try and animate part of that bigger idea. I also haven't really tried to do lipsyncing on a head that's moving so this was my first time doing that. I really like how the first little animated bit turned out (it feels so bouncy :D (and prob because not adding the details of their clothes, literally any color lol, and the smaller proportions made it easier) but the 2nd one isn't half bad either! I think I just got the speed or the arm proportions wrong but screw anatomy because it looks really freaking cool actually, and I colored it which I wasn't originally going to do but somehow worked! I'm super proud of this!! And this song does not have the right to go as hard as it does lol- like the lines in this project and also "I'd sell my own bones for sapphire stones because blue is your favorite color" hit really hard in a way I can't explain. MAN I love Cavetown- Speaking of- why is this little man literally every Cavetown song ever?? I can take at least one lyric from each of these and relate it to Kieran. Like there's this one (Meteor Shower), Lemon Boy, Boys Will Be Bugs, Fool, Sweet Tooth, Home/This is Home, Talk to Me, and probably more because those are just the ones I listen to lol And you know it's a hyperfixation when you can think of another animatic idea to each of those, and like every other piece of music I've heard over the last few days hahah- (I kid you not this kid is half of my unshared projects right now. help.) Side note: I also realized while drawing this: Kieran's traditional outfit for the Festival of masks is white with light gray accents. This might just be me going insane but like. Guess what white means in color symbolism? INNOCENCE. Actually end me because whether that was intended or not that is ironic given the events that occur literally the next in game day and I'm going to cry- ok I'm done yapping now lol ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Credits Art/Animation - (in another artist's words (forgot who) "me, not ye") Audio - Meteor Shower by Cavetown Characters (order of appearance) - Kieran, Ogerpon, the main character/player/default female avatar for Scarlet and Violet (sometimes referred to as "Juliana").
