#I have so many brain animatics

[hulloitsdani]

Gather round children it’s time for a Ted Talk about FEH and how I go about drawing these characters.

When making art for this game, I have found immense satisfaction in attempting to meet FEH on its level and remain fairly loyal to the Intelligence System’s approved content we have. This is remarkably challenging. For me, at least. I find this game’s design sensibilities run very counter to my own. That’s not a critique of any in game art of the characters (although I do think they improve greatly over time) as they fulfill their purpose really well. They are meant to be drawn 4 times max which means they can go pretty crazy on the details. But hahahaha I’m not doing that. Clearly. I’m drawing these guys by hand at different angles and posses fairly consistently, which is just not what they were built for. Don’t think when someone designed Kiran they thought of the person who’d be drawing them chilling ontop of a fridge with a bottle of mustard in their hand, you know?

So naturally I got to do some translating! And that’s the really fun part >:]

There are many things I had to find creative answers for, like Kiran’s face and Alfonse’s stupid haircut. But the one rotating rapidly in my brain atm is the Askr quartet in combat. I wanted lean hard into the fact that these four are, well, very human in comparison to every other combatant that enters Askr. They aren’t exactly helpless nor unskilled. If any of the trio raised their blade at Kiran, they’d start digging their own grave themselves. But the group are regular soldiers fighting against straight up warriors of legend. As individuals, Anna, Sharena, Alfonse, and Kiran are not that strong in comparison. No merges for these bitches they gotta work with what they got. However, they all know that. So they make up for their weaknesses through terrifyingly effective teamwork. Through the power of trauma bonding- I MEAN FRIENDSHIP they become a fucking terrifying force of nature. It’s like pissing off an ant hill or a wasps nest. A lancer goes for Alfonse and suddenly theres a swarm of five level 1 heroes making such a distraction that they don’t see Anna’s axe sweep through their Achilles heels or Sharena’s follow up shield bash.

So this means I get to convey their team composition through their body shapes and give them clear strengths and weakness for the others to cover. Which is just so god damn FUN. Like we all know Kiran is the squishiest of the squishy, so it’s really fun to show just HOW squishy they are through the immediate comparison Alfonse and Sharena. I gave those two sturdier square shapes, and thus making them shorter yet stocky. This makes it look like they could fucking launch Kiran’s bony ass to the moon and back. However, that’s on the condition that either of them could catch Kiran, as their tall slim build implies the lightweight speed they move with. Which is so!!!! Fun!!!! Aughhh big love. Kiran could literal use Sharena as cover to snipe enemies from. Meanwhile Anna and Alfonse are a bit ahead using reposition to let Anna provide swift dps without getting too beat up herself. And by reposition, I mean Alfonse using his shield as a jump pad to launch Anna at the enemy with. You know. Just bro things. Anna’s triangle shapes make her both just hearty and lean enough to pull it off, might as well go for it. Just make sure she’s properly supported and safe by the time the enemy phase rolls around you know?

And I swear, the combos just write themselves too. Like between Sharena and Alfonse, a poor soul gets caught in the worst version of ping pong as Alfonse captain America’s his shield between the two of them. Kiran could then use that same shield like Link does and surf out of enemy range, shooting at the enemy the whole way. It’s fun! These guys have the potential to really sync up during combat and be emblematic of their bonds with one another.

Example, Alfonse. Alfonse could TECHNICALLY be a stronger solo fighter if he ditched the shield. He has the constitution and skill to not actually need the extra protection, and if he decided to two hand his weapon (haha there’s a joke there) the damage he could do would be devastating. However, the shield isn’t for his protection, but to be better help to his closest friends. The shield isn’t taking as many hits for him as it is for Kiran and Anna, who can’t afford to carry shields without compromising their own effectiveness. Plus through creative (and probably not intentional) uses it helps better position them on the battlefield. It’s for THEM. The only time he’s going to stop using the shield is when they aren’t there fighting along side him.

Enter Líf.

He hasn’t had a shield for a long time now.

#These ideas have been living in my brain for too long they needed a way out #feh Ted Talk #Man I wish animating these characters wouldn’t be an actual living hell #I have so many brain animatics #fights against Líf and Thasir would be so INTERESTING with this in mind #He KNOWS their tricks #Fighting him would be TERRIFYING #feh #fire emblem heroes #kiran #alfonse #feh kiran #feh alfonse #feh summoner #feh anna #feh sharena

my wrist still hurt but i won't let that stop me from drawing them

(jk i draw this few days ago and i will take some breaks after i done my assignment btw, my hand started to just lock itself when i hold pencil now, and I'm not even hit my 20s, letting you know 👍)

#scarian #i never thought i will be the obsessed over some ship #especially when the main focus is a fucking block people #they have completely rot my brain #you don't know how many times i watched desert duo animatic on loop #anyways I'm going to bed now gn #just scarian tags bc im not so proud about this</3

and I think it's time you had a pink cloud summer ✨

#i needed to get this out of my brain and I don't have the stamina for animatics #so many of these bands songs are loop songs I'm going insane #in stars and time #start again: a prologue #isat #sasasap #isat loop #isat spoilers #something something colors can be seen during high emotions something why not happy ones? #jack.png #jack.txt #backgrounds brought to you by free clip studio assets

[OCs] An alien speeds through a neon city, with a single mission on her mind.

I compiled some of my boards from class into a single video/animatic, exploring the story behind my alien and scientist ocs I made in 2019 :) I know it probably doesn’t make sense without a lot of context (I have a lot of their story already mapped out in my head) but this was mostly just for experimentation and to get the grade 😗👍 I added a couple frames at the end but I did sketch out some of the rest of the story. It’s uncolored though bc those were for fun, not class and I don’t have time 😭

They don’t have dialogue bc since conception I always had the idea that it would be a dialogue-less story and also bc I imagine their story through music videos half the time lol.

My place holder title in 2019 was “I come in peace” so until I come up w a better name I’ll put all posts relating to these guys under the tag #i come in peace

#I have so many ideas about this #also they’re girlfriends. #the pink and the blue haired characters #that hasn’t been revealed in the story yet but I was hoping for one assignment to give me the opportunity to draw them in the same scene but #it’s whatever #at first it was a webcomic then my brain made it a 6 ep web series of music videos… #but the lore kept expanding!!! #clam draws #clam ocs #I come in peace #storyboard #animatic #visual development #concept art #storyboards #character development #character design #original character #my art #video

I was laughing at Xie Lian not really knowing how to use curse words properly in the flashback arcs. but it just dawned on me that it was probably to show how young and naive he was during all of it

#the way he had all his innocence and naivety snatched away in such violent ways #the way that it’s so unfair and brutal #the way that trauma effected him so deeply but even in little ways like his vocabulary #I wonder if he sleeps differently #mxtx when I get you mxtx— #I’m upset about tgcf again guys don't look at me #I’m wish I could articulate myself better #I have SO many thoughts and feelings about Xie Lian #all I can say is he just like me fr fr #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #xie lian #tgcf xie lian #idk man my brain is so fried rn from working on an animatic #scriv lore

school is making me miserable so here's a doodle sheet of akechi truths. hope this helps

#goro akechi #my art #<- i guess. how many times have i said i guess to this. sorry no new big or good pieces i have horrors in my brain #p5 spoilers #i guess #i suppose that.these r 'headcanons.' but these are just truths in how i draw this guy. also not my best akechi drawings for sure lol #would u guys be mad if i made another akechi animatic. <-if this happens it will not be soon i have So Much shit going on rn. #my mind is just doing things again (things being listening to songs and thinking about him) #anyway its rlly funny to me that gloveless akechi feels so naked but he doesnt Actually wear them all the time lmao. he does to me though. #hope this helps. #i did the jacket around neck thing as a little kid because it stayed there better than the waist. he on the other hand is doing hero moment #anyway my brain has long imprinted on him like a baby duckling. thoughts and prayers on the schoolwork im not doing.goro akechi #i hope he dies<- not true

If I keep my motivation up with the animatic project, I plan to make ganondorf just. soooo uncomfortably correct about things. you know, in that event horizon of being both indefensible enough in his actions that you feel like he's just saying things to make himself look less bad, but also you can't really retort a proper counterargument without revealing huge biases in your own perception of reality

just riding that wind waker swagger to more extreme extremes

#thoughts #ganondorf #animatic project #thralls of power #my goal is to make a ganondorf that will radicalize the audience against their will <3 #even though he keeps on bumping his ample forehead against massive shortcomings he never really manages to address #one of them being uhhh being a little casual about atrocities maybe king??? maybe less war crimes king??? #maybe less assuming that people will follow you down to the very end of your doomed crusade against reality no matter how you act? #maybe less assuming you are the main protagonist of the universe king??? #maybe more addressing the many problems and fear inside of your brain instead of destroying everything you touch about it???? #I have so many scenes in my head about him being very right and others about him being very wrong #if I have the courage there are many internal discussions among gerudos about how various parties feel about what's going on #nabooru is doing anti-dorf propaganda obviously and she's not. wrong. about a lot of things (but she is about others) #my other problem about this project is that it's probably the most tragic thing I have ever conceived #especially for him #I managed to extract the gerudos from his fucking mess (partially and they don't get off the hook unscathed) #but he is just #it's just a very long and very stubborn jump into the void #and knowing where twilight princess ultimately leads it's so #it's just gutting!!! it just is!!!! even when it's partially his own fault!!!! #so yeah I don't know if I'll ever fully commit for this reason alone

How have I been in fandom for - going on 8 years (?) and not gotten into fanvids before?? All the association I could have been making.... All the memories.... All the composition and clever editing....

#going a little bit insane frankly #it's been about a month of absolute and utter mcu frenzy in my brain and i'm. vibrating #truly feels like some kind of intense fever at times #i've rewatched talitha78's set fire to the rain vid so many times it entrances me #it's to the point where every time i see that shot of loki grabbing mjolnir i hear 'you rose to claim it' #btw hello 13 years late to the party but like. 20 seconds in and i felt like that vid unlocked something in my artist brain #no because the lyrics are 'i let it fall / my heart / and as it fell / you rose to claim it' right #and so she puts clips of thor being banished and losing mjolnir and then loki trying to grab it #which. the interaction between the song and the video making mjolnir thor's heart.... not even 20 seconds!! #it's so clean to me #it's like when i actually took a good look at bill cipher's design and realised he had such expressive potential #and i had to do like a page of doodles about it #in 20 seconds that fanvid from 2011 made me want to make animatics so so bad #which btw i watched it partly because a fic i liked cited it as an inspiration #and partly because i looked at the dates #and realised that the creator put it out like not even two weeks after the movie came out?? #absolutely insane. i love this so much #this is like having a family heirloom in your hands #grandma lending me the necklace she wore to her first date with grandpa for my anniversary dinner or something #i have just entered a new fandom and the fans who were here before are showing me what it was like when they'd just arrived too #the sacred texts and such also #anyway. man i love fandom. #wow i have a ramble tag now

This really just has been the month of Ghostbur for me, hasn’t it.

(Ran out of tags so just wait for me to reblog lol)

#have #have you guys. noticed #*eyes* #he’s been my favorite for many months now and I’ve loved him for a many months now #but this month it seems as if my interest & love for him has gone up several notches #I’ve said ‘I love him’ more times this past week in regards to Ghostbur than I can remember lol #I just… #GAHHHHH I LOVE HIM SO MUCH #I want to hug him so baddddd 😭 #please brain just let me have a dream where I hug Ghostbur please #I beg of you #let me go to Limbo it will be fun and interesting #ANYWAY #I’ve teared up… three times this month? I believe?? specifically because of Ghostbur #the first time was at about 1am and I was laying on the couch in my living room binging my Ghostbur animatic playlist on YouTube #and I included a few songs that people have made about Ghostbur too #and I watched through everythinggggg on the playlist and it was amazing #and actually really calming :) #I want to do it again #the playlist is arranged chronologically and towards the end I got to all the Limbo videos #and while listening to a song about him in Limbo I was just… I don’t know #I guess I kinda REALIZED fully and truly what Limbo must be like #how lonely and terrifying and dark and LONELY it must be #and that Ghostbur is stuck there all by himself (at least for a long while) and he believes that he’s the bad guy and that he messed #everything up and failed Tommy and he doesn’t even know how wrong he is #because there’s no one there to tell him #and I almost started crying right then and there #my breathing got all shaky and stutter-y #but then the song ended and I watched the Ghostbur and Friend reunion :’) #and that made me feel a little better

Amphibia: “So the theme/lesson of the whole show is change and accepting it and it ends with everyone moving on despite it being hard”

Me: “Wow that's such an amazing deep message” proceeds to hyperfixate on the funny frog show for at least a year or smthn after it ended, because I am insane and definitely not ready to let go-

#Amphibia Spoilers #amphibia #sorry I am just #I am going insane #you think you can get rid of me that easily? #well tough luck #I have so so many more comic and drawing ideas #and also the AUs #and also unfinished animatics and new ideas- #aaaall in my brain #this is the last text post I make today promise- #I should really get some sleep #social anxiety defeated by hyperfixating thoughts wahoo #-evaporates into air-

THE. ace attorney two birds animatic (starts crying)

#(geiger counter clicks) #Youtube #if the artist of the animatic sees this. please know. this lives in my brain and i have so many emotions about it #anytime i hear the song i think about it snd it's like. slams hands on desk. I AM FEELING SO MUCH

incomprehensible meme

#produce #memes my own ab story #ive been working on this story for the better part of 2 years lol. but oniw when i say 'working on' its in the 'in my head' story #i dont know why but my brain just doesnt let me do stuff unless its in its completion #luckily this story is almost completed lol #i decided to think about it in a 3 seasons with 25 episodes each type of way. Since the astro uran ochan and tenma are the MAIN characters #their arks through each seasons works better. each season has a theme that they work through. Tenmas is probably the most easy to guess #but i did have to tweak ochans character ALOT for my story. a mix of atb and yadda yadda... #erm yeah #it started out as a joke but i developed shadow too much and just went 'fuck it. we're making it its own syory' #the main thing with this project was that i wanted to work with tenmas character in a different way. hes not the main antag overall but #just for S1. i wont say much about it atm because i do have a general idea of how ill this story #not a comic or a fanfic but in a series of drawings/animatics. music heavily inspired me in this story so i have many video ideas #i just need to learn how lol #ANYWAY #/slaps the title/ this bad boy gets two corruption arks and tenma being beat up and physically scared (shot) #idk y im talking about this now but since im not posting art atm ill just allude to things #for the most part all the characters follow 03 but somethings are different and i tweaked some designs to fit the aesthetic i have going #but yeah! over time ill be making short dumb videos to get used to it so i can make story animatics. a warning i should add #most of the audio for my videos will be from musicals lmaooo. i listen to alot of music at work so much time to flesh out things #augh

I’m gonna stop doing the daily arts, I really enjoy doing them but I think doing them one year right after the other wasn’t a great idea for me, maybe I’ll feel more up for it next year. I’m obviously still gonna do at art, I’ll probably draw some of the ideas I had for future episodes soon since I had quite a few I had clear ideas for those !!

#adventure time rewatch and sketch 2 #I’ll probably end up making myself some other project to do #I have so many animatics I want to make that I’ve just never been able to start/finish just because my brain hates doing them #But maybe I’ll try finishing one

[acidsaladd]

the way i have so many animatics spinning around in my head but i cant commit to ANY

#i have #so many ideas #sketched out or otherwise #but also #im desdly afraid of animatixs #animatics #cus i feel like i might be misinterpreting every song ive ever listened to #and also i have the brain zoomies and cant focus on any one thing for long #blabbering
