If Luo Binghe found out that the reason Shen Qingqiu was nice to Gongyi Xiao was because he reminded of Luo Binghe, he'd have such mixed feelings about it.
On the one hand, Shizun having "reminds me of Binghe" as one of his standards for favoritism would probably put him over the moon.
On the other hand, Gongyi Xiao?! Really, Shizun?! He was an idiot! Couldn't even stop Zhuzhi Lang, of all people, from killing him! Maybe he had some small talent but he was entirely the kind of person who accidentally made things worse for anyone he was trying to help. Shizun he was clearly Ning Yingying coded, not Binghe coded! 😤
And here it is! My first fully completed Procreate Dreams animation. I used audio from one of Technoblade’s more famous rants during his Potato War series. I love Technoblade and miss him every day, so I hope that I was able to capture the magic of his energy in my animation.
I animated the roughs and drew the backgrounds in Procreate, but then I imported that into Dreams to do all the cleanup. It runs at 24 fps, but there’s a lot of variations to spice it up in there.
I wanted to really challenge myself so there’s a LOT going on in this short 9 second clip. There’s a camera move with multiple layers to achieve a subtle parallax scroll, there’s two lighting changes with one being a completely animated shadow layer, and there’s a warp effect on the curtains for when it opens and closes.
There’s still a lot that could be cleaned up. Some of the linework is a little more jittery than I would prefer, and the coloring process was awful. Every color was its own separate layer, which was exhausting to do. I really hope i can figure out a faster and easier way to do the coloring process because that took me over a week to complete! Yikes!
Overall I’m extremely proud of my work here. I’ve been working on this 9 second clip since Dreams released and I really wanted to showcase to everyone just how powerful Dreams is. I know a lot of people were complaining about it when it released and I wanted to do something to help reorient people’s expectations. I genuinely cannot believe that I did all of this on my iPad!
If anyone has any questions or would like to see a breakdown of this animation, please feel free to contact me!
