(minor flash, creepy, (and blood?) warning!) SO. For some reason in the past month or so I've been…liking more creepy things. Not like- really WANTING things to be creepy or wanting anything to be super overly creepy (like I don't want to be scared to death lol), and I'm not into horror or anything, definitely not. But- when an ARTIST makes things creepy, I dunno, I get so fascinated by how it makes me a bit unnerved and I'm like "how did they do that?" and I dunno, I like the feeling. I don't like getting SCARED, but unsettled is okay and especially when an artist manages to do it. So…I wanted to do something around that. It's not exactly "creepy", but the song's got the vibe so whatever ;") I'll probably talk about this in another MAP part and I don't want to dwell on that too badly X'D But because I liked the concept and the effects and all that, I was like "oooh you know who this sounds like to me…? B)" yES I get to animate Flint FINALLY I'll likely say this in another MAP part as well but because it's October and I'm doing some OCtober prompts for this year, I decided I'm going to talk more about my characters! I talk a bit about this on other projects, but I feel here we'll have more context so :'D so basically Flint lives in an apocalypse. One he…sorta helped create, on accident of course lolll- he was a geneticist part of a team that was assigned to create an entirely new—and dangerous—creature and after years of working on it (and I believe 138 attempts sheesh), it finally worked and then it all went to the trash :)) the thing escaped, surpassing all the strength tests that were originally recorded for it (sorry I don't remember all the details) and—for some reason they do not know (that's right, after 2 years of living in it they still don't know; but how could they know? They don't have equipment to study it lol)—it created this giant Labyrinth, no electricity, no running water (I think? I could definitely be wrong though because otherwise how would they survi-), nothing. And SOMEHOW Flint managed to survive. The memory that flashes before him is the incident :') Maybe in this MAP part the monster let him go (again…;')) and he just barely escaped and now he's trying to recover himself or something. Because I can imagine being let go for the second time and almost dying again would be kinda rattling :") and besides, just BEING witness for the incident (if you know what it was, and I'm not going to explain it here because that's a whole other thing) would be traumatizing enough haha (he's got enough trauma as it is I think aAAH) As for the MAP part: I hope it's okay that I used clones- they're deleted by the time the MAP part ends :'D I'll definitely fix up the costumes and the way everything flows, but it's a good start and I've got motivation B) I don't think it'll be lots of AMV- maybe some, but mostly PMV, it's a pretty slow paced part haha- I'm also not really sharing a WIP because I need an extension, it's just mainly sharing a WIP just so it's here, really. I don't normally do this—and it feels weird to haha—but because I've got a lot of stuff to do right now I wanted to share this to say "hey I actually am making progress" and to just send it out there :'D Also I originally was going to use more space as the line between the A and B parts wasn't actually lined up. I'm not sure if that was okay, so I put it back, but are there rules for getting rid of the line or adjusting it or something? Because I saw some people get rid of the line and some not, so I'm just curious X'D Here's a list of things I need to do in case you want to track my progress ;'D √ - storyboard WIP — storyboard those placeholders for the "incident"/memory and stuff haha √ - lineart √ - "leaning his head back" animation?? √ - animating him sliding onto the floor? - colouring √ – the first long shot √ – 2nd shot – the memory √ – the shot behind it WIP – last shot WIP - backgrounds ee - any extra details I guess? I'm just guessing what I'll have to do I gotta fix up that last animation aah- Credits: Art: me Coding: me OC: Flint (you poor man) Program: scratch and Photoshop Song: The Bridge - Arcane
So I DID start working on this again because I wanted to lol- I'm on an animating spree right now it's literally ALL I want to do and besides it's kinda the only digital art I can do without PS screaming at me long story ANYWAYS, so if you want to get the MAP done, I'm starting to do it again- but what I actually came to say was I added some weird glide effect and only intended for it to be on what was going on in the present during the flashback, but I'm not as experienced with clones and then accidentally ended up having them BOTH glide (the memory and present frame) anD IT LOOKS SO COOL? HELLO??? I took mild inspiration from some panels in Castoff (Webcomic by TheStarfishFace on YT) with the glass shattering effect and the words there because I didn't think I was gonna capture the memory with just one image haha Also I just started watching Arcane (the show where this audio is from) and I can see why it's so popular lol- I knew like every word from the song because of this MAP LOLL
