marslowell | 50 M.A.P. Parts (2020 - 2023) @marslowell | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 16 seconds ago
For the sake of my own wellbeing I hope I don't have to make another video like this for a long time lol.

3 years of MAP hell!! Yippee!! I've definitely developed a problem with joining too many, to the point where it halts my progress on other art pieces and projects. And when you join as many MAPs as I do plenty are bound to end up cancelled/inactive and it's a bit heartbreaking. :'( I've realized my shortcomings regarding this, though, and looking forward only plan on joining MAPs I have real passion in, as well as focusing more on hosting my own. Despite the cons, I've still had plenty of fun with these, and they're great animation practice too! There's been some fun little communities associated with some of these MAPs too. :'3

Favorite MAP part:
Blackout. Fun song. Such bouncy movements and lip sync. I'll never be able to recreate that hahaha. I did that all with the onion skin tool in firealpaca too and manually placed and timed each frame in my editor. 😭 that was a different era.

Most fun to work on:
Misery Boulevard. Loved the super extra designs in this one. Making and tweening the assets was fun. Idk it wasn't super complicated but I remember just having a really great time with it. :-)

Hardest to work on:
I actually don't think I have a concise answer for this one. Devil's Train 54 was my first working with CSP, Lone Digger had some complex perspectives to work with, and Carousel I animated at 60fps.

Quickest to work on:
A Gorey Demise. Very short part with very few assets haha.

Longest to work on:
This one I'm not completely sure on, but it was probably Carousel given the amount of frames? The Diamond Trial had the most breaks in between progress, though.

Favorite MAP you were a part of:
I really liked What Do You Know About Love, thought it was sooo cute and kinda wish I had time to redo my part, but I'm also kinda against redoing things. I also find myself rewatching Your Love and Cold Cold Cold often. :3 As for unfinished MAPs, I really wanna see Blackout and This is Wings of Fire completed!

Favorite MAP to host:
In terms of quality, Freshman Halloween. In terms of lore and community, Devil's Train.
