3am-brainrot:

omg hi i just watched the animatic and i'm genuinely obsessed. i dont usually cry over stuff like this but oh lord you just managed to bring out Emotions out of me. euthanasia is already a song i care very deeply about and making a disco elysium animatic to that is a double whammy like aouuhuhjjjj

i absolutely love the way you characterize harry in the beginning ALSO SHIVERS AHHHHH I LOVE SHIVERS!!!

sorry i feel like im rambling at this point but i just want to say i will 100% be so annoying about this animatic for at least a week to my friends (both the ones who've played and haven't played de lol)

omg hIIII SORRY FOR THE late reply, I very so appreciate all your words waaaa 。⁠:゚⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)゚⁠:⁠。

Artfight is almost here! Do you think you will participate again this year?

And will you add the characters from your seal comic to your profile if you do?

Also hope you've been doing alright! Haven't seen you around in a good bit

hey!!!! yup I plan on doing artfight, good reminder to start prepping :) and yeah! would love to see sealphie art lmao

just been busy doing other things besides drawing, though I think I’m back at it now… that and the struggle to develop some plot for a story continues…

detaia:

0:53 to 0:59…..Harry reaching for Dolores. Cuts to Harry clinging on to Jean as the darkness threatens to swallow him. It does. The last frame of Jean with the composition emphasising Jean being alone as the song goes "…and I can't bring you home". You are soooo sick and twisted for this asjgkljklk.

2:07 is just. A beautiful frame. I love the way you draw Harry's expressions.

2:50 to 2:54 is perfectly coordinated with each beat of the music. Seeing Harry rise from the sludge, the camera unstable and unfocused, the sludge clinging onto him – growing on him, covering his eyes and mouth….

and then 3:03 happens and it is dazzingly bright and the darkness is forgotten because Kim is here. The visuals alone are stunning but coordinating the sequence with "never let a bad thing happen to you, now goodnight I love you…" is DIABOLICAL. And again: love the way Harry is drawn in 3:10 it's a gorgeous frame and it's followed by Kim smiling and leaving and the lighting makes him look ephemeral and dreamlike and that damned smile with the corner of his mouth curling ever so slightly aghdhglk normal I'm normal!! 3:03 to 3:11 is another brilliant sequence in an animatic with so many good sequences.

Speaking of??? The overall composition and colours and how every character is drawn distinctly and lovingly and how every second fits the song perfectly???? Hello??? Are you aware you're fucking amazing????

AND THEN. another diabolical cut at 3:12 to Klassje RIGHT AT THE MOMENT OF THE SHOT??? the red in her eye and the glass mid-shatter??? the composition of her being upside down which parallels the tonal shift??? and then a quick cut in-time with the music to the end of the tribunal with another off-center angle and the first thing we see is Glen's lifeless eyes – then Titus holding his cap to his chest and Eugene holding his head in his hands – then Kim over the body of Eyes. It's only 5 seconds from 3:12 to 3:17 but it's so dense and precise and emphasises the suddeness of the deaths as the tone changes yet again . It's so good. It's so fucking good!!!!

3:46 - the increasing blur as Will sings "ohhhhhhh" before everything flashes white. I just like it.

The ending being utterly devoid of colour when every frame so far has been coloured gorgeously is such a good choice!! It makes everything dreamlike and pure and otherworldly and peaceful. The frame of Harry with Jean and Kim beside him. The image of Revachol with it's own pleasure wheel. It's heartbreaking and beautiful and sad and gentle all at once. Which applies to the whole animatic honestly. You did a fucking fantastic job. It must have taken a LOT of time and effort and every bit of it shows. Rewatching this for the 4th time after this comment. Gonna send this to my sibling too. they'll be soooo normal about this, I'm sure.

apologies for the long ask. youtube wouldn't let me post this no matter how hard I tried

wahhhhh thank you for writing all this out, what a fantastic read :3

Aaah yoy made the disco elysium animatic!? It was amazing. Idk why I'm sending an ask other than to say thank you for sharing it!

It was wonderfully drawn too. 10/10 how many praises can I give until it becomes annoying.

Anyway, uh it was super amazing works. Beautifully made. Made me cry. Thanks for tears.

what program do you use for your animatics, and what (possibly free) programs would you suggest for beginners learning digital art and animation?

hi! Clip Studio Paint for the drawings, with Shotcut(free) for editing.

as for free stuff - Krita was pretty good when I used it, I miss some of their brushes. It’s still lying around on my desktop lol. it does raster animation just fine

If ur into more flash-style animation things, Opentoonz is pretty good too. Though I did run out of memory when there were 20 filled layers going at the same time. so, something to watch out for (rip that hamilton scene)
