You can view the project here; https://youtu.be/jr-kWzhh1X8 !CW! The following animation includes flashes, implied ab*se, alcohol and drug usage, minor nudity (nothing serious guys dw I wouldn’t do that I swear) mental illness, and visuals and themes that may be potentially upsetting to/inappropriate for some viewers. My animatics would generally be considered 13+. Omg guys I made a dark animatic that didn’t involve any gore or violence (minus the image at the end) I’m so proud of myself :D Going easy on the blood is a struggle for me This was a relatively simple animation and I spent less than a week on it, but I had a lot of fun and it was nice to just make something for gits and shiggles while staying in my comfort zone. (The animation itself took four or five days but I waited a few days to post it) This was also a great way to hype myself up regarding Diverged now that I’m working on it again. The characters all have new designs and I’m currently trying to fix all of the gaps or inconsistencies that were present before. The character featured is Ametrine who holds the title of Secondary Prince (the Secondary House is basically just a backup family for the Royal line). While I won’t go into his lore for the sake of your free time and because this is a kids’ site at the end of the day, I will say that he does not have a good time. He’s a survivor and very mentally unwell (due to life experience and genetics), making him susceptible to alcoholism and drug usage, both of which he indulges in despite getting specifically told not to do so by a health professional for his safety and the safety of those in proximity to him. That’s essentially all you have to know to understand the animatic, as it’s just a snippet of his backstory for funsies. People with genetic depression go wild in the comments section <3 On another note, I highly recommend finding the short this is from; SHOP: A Pop Opera by Jack Stauber and watching it. It’s only about 13 minutes and is worth the watch! Jack Stauber makes amazing music and just as amazing films and shorts for said music. :) This was a lot of fun to make, as simple as it was, and I appreciate you viewing the project and scrolling down this far to read my disconnected thoughts lmno Audio: Coffee Audio source: SHOP: A Pop Opera (Jack Stauber) Visuals: @SawaStuff / on all platforms Characters and plot: / on all platforms Programs used: IbisPaint Bro genetics are wild Like just because my parents have a genetic condition I get it too Unfair I want to be tall :( And to not get sleepy so quickly And to be less mentally silly And also to be taller I want to be taller Also also did you notice that the captions disappeared? That was totally intentional and represented his detachment from reality following the bottle hallucination It definitely wasn’t an animation and coding error that I just ran with because I was too lazy to fix it I wouldn’t do that, that doesn’t sound like me
