Bubble makes Caine a hot chocolate to cheer him up! Warning: Volume warning and flashing lights + bright colors. PS: I struggled picking the music so ignore how odd the first one is LOL
This is for my giftee @jaybejaybenotsstuff ! I'm incredibly sorry for being late, I did NOT forget about you Jay! There's some more words I want to say, but I'll leave it for the end.
The Animatic leads up to this point in the artwork, I also made a comic for the little bee plush!
So from now on these will be extras! Except for one thing...I especially want YOU @tadcgiftfest to see this little thing I may or may have hidden from you during check-ins. PS: There's also this page that I included in the extras because I felt it was a bit rushed.
Ok so this one is kind of hard to understand, I just made it without prior plan LOL. So the cast is having a snowball fight, and Caine decided to come with a bugle! Bubble is the snowball storage, he gobbles up snowballs for Caine to throw. But oh no! Caine got distracted by a butterfly and left the bubble storage running! Now the bugle is attacking the cast feverously off camera. Anddddd...SUPRISE @hanajoyishere (aka the MOD!) this is for you and for you too jay! Double yoshie exploshi gift.
Alright so the extra words I wanted to say: Jay's prompt was left really open-ended and I went...a bit crazy! I really loved that it was open to interpretation. I really hope you like this gift as much as I enjoyed making it! it was a incredibly awesome learning experience for me too. I had so much fun that I spent most of my free time on it. There were even times where I couldn't sleep thinking about it LOL I remember I went to Jay's page and saw their beautiful art and went "kay, I gotta lock in!" And again, Jay's patience with this gift, I missed the deadline but they still waited so patiently, thank you Jay 🙏 The Mod on this event was incredible, really smooth communication, rules, and flexible with the deadlines/schedules. They were incredibly enthusiastic and such a sweet individual. Thank you so much for hosting this event @tadcgiftfest, It was a blast. I can't believe I finished this gift, I usually know myself as the person who doesn't finish anything, but this was such a growing experience for me. The Mod also helped a heck ton, their encouragement every time I updated them kept me pushing to finish it. And seeing it come together. I also learned that I really need to relearn editing and learn sound design, heh. But seriously, thank you so much, it was a invaluable experience for me and I'd do it all again, Happy new year to both of you and anyone who is reading. [PS: btw so sorry if the characters personalities aren't very close to canon 😭 I haven't rewatched the episodes in AWHILE}
OH MY... I genuinely do not know where to start and I won't have the right words to say how incredible this gift is to me. Zuri, you made an animation over 2 minutes!! It's SO INCREDIBLE. I was watching it the first time just in disbelief. My mind could not register what I was seeing. I watched it multiple times now while gasping out loud. It is so beautiful!! The story, the style, everything! I love the bee plushy so so much & the hot cocoa Bubble made for Caine. Also the glitching; I love some Caine angst and then comfort. Bubbles personality was so visible throughout the animation (I loved the sound effects hehehe) and do not get me started on the moon!! I felt so sad for Caine when he was left all alone, but then Bubble came back with all the good stuff, ugh. Please don't say sorry for being late, I would've waited months to see this masterpiece. I genuinely can't get over that fact that you made this for me and I'm still in shock. Your talents are CRAZY and woahhh, I could write a book saying how much I'm in awe. Zuri, you did something extremely special for me, and I am so, so happy and jumping up and down because of it! Thank you won't do it justice, but again: THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!
