I was too lazy to delete this stuff lol ⋆˙⟡ ⋆.˚ ⊹₊⟡ ⋆ letter to my 13 y/o self - closed improvement MAP needs tnes and backups you may ask for completed map pings! read everything below, thank u! ⋆｡‧₊° ☆ about: i don't see many improvement MAPs but this one will be a lot more unique than the ones you do see. animators will be picking an (original) character that represents their younger self, and a character that represents them now (Can be the same OC, just depends on the person). the OC that represents them now is the narrator/singer, who ends up meeting their younger self in a dream and gets to talk to them and give them some advice. their younger self is a bit unaware and confused, but listens intently. animators must draw/animate their younger self character in their OLD ART STYLE FROM that younger age. animators showcase their improvement via the animation/tweening/etc in their older self character. it'll be interesting attempting to draw in your old art style! ⋆｡‧₊° ☆rules + prefs + info: • the background should be a field or simple nature scene at night (since this is like a dream thing). theres some inspo inside the project but dont worry about it too much! • 2 sprite max • must title your broadcast messages if you use them (don't leave them as "message1") • no animating in background, must be in sprite! • must draw/animate younger self's character in your old art style from that age. doesn't have to be perfect! the age you pick as your younger self does not have to be 13, but has to be 3 years or more younger than your current age. • there is no due date but i will be checking for progress once every 2 weeks. if you dont show or say any progress or don't reply to my progress checks for a long while, youre dropped from the MAP • no reserving/holding parts • this map is preferred to be for experienced artists/animators who are older than 13. no need to include your age in your part form, since your art/animation examples will be prioritized over that. also not beginner friendly, im sorry! </3 • amv or pmv allowed! since this is a slow paced song, i suggest pmv. if you do pmv your part must be shaded/rendered in some way. if you do amv you could do lip sync, slight movements, whatever works but it doesnt have to be shaded/rendered (as long as the lighting fits nighttime) • be creative! you can include faded/low opacity flashbacks with other people/characters. have your older self interacting with the younger self and talking to them. this is not only an improvement map but a reflection map towards your younger self not just in an art way but in general. • when applying for backup, you must keep in mind that by applying, youre saying that youre able to cover a map part or collab when asked. • you may drop your part if needed, but pls lmk, and if you have a wip/progress pls do share it! • you can have up to 2 parts • last part (34) should just be 1-2 drawings and isn't really animation, but should be really shaded/rendered • you can abbreviate your part remix titles to "letter - part #" • application form has you include 2 links to animation examples, but i will be viewing other art/animation projects across your profile as well that i'll be using to consider :) • there's a studio for this map that will be the place i will contact you on map progress. if you get in to the map, PLEASE comment on the studio (so i can reply with progress checks) ⋆｡‧₊° ☆part form: username ⋆ part(s) you want ⋆ 2 links to animation examples ⋆ will u do amv or pmv? ⋆ which oc(s) are you using to represent your younger and older self?
