PaleBlood part 5
updated
As of today, November 11th it is the 4th anniversary of the pilot. Production of the second episode hasn't gone the way I had hoped and it's been on an indifferent production hiatus for a long while now. Nevertheless, I WILL finish the second episode since it's technically the the second half of the original pilot. I've since stripped it down and essentially cut the entire thing in half of what the original content was. I also, may or may not decided to release it in two parts both equating to about 6 and half minutes just to get it out there.
With that said, the series is cancelled after episode 2 as I do not have the time, energy or finances to animate much moving forward.
The good news is, the story is technically continuing in the form of a Webtoon. It's set roughly 3 decades after the events of the pilot so it follows an entirely new cast of characters, but a number of the major events from Destination Unknown are referenced as History throughout the narrative. You can read the Web comic here: webtoons.com/en/canvas/expedition-uncharted/list?title_no=900008

Anyway a life update since I know I've been silent, I reanimated this scene over three years ago during a period of severe art block. In June of 2020, I made the foolish decision to attempt to redo the pilot with a modified script due to some scenes I wasn't too fond of. However, due to the pandemic stress and family drama, it was near impossible to work while I lived with my parents. Long story short, I am now a home owner and have been living on my own since early last year. I thought once I was moved out my motivation to animate would return but it never did and I've felt stuck in limbo ever since. The sad thing is, prior to lockdown, I had already finished the first three minutes of episode 2 and after February, due to everyone being home and all the drama that came with it, it absolutely crushed my creative drive. This wasn't what I had wanted--in fact, I specifically got a two bedroom house for one to be my animation studio
and I have hardly touched animation since moving in. Adulting isn't easy but even though I may no longer be active on YouTube, I am well and doing the best I have been in years. I may not have the energy like I once had, but my passion for story telling and art is still alive and running. Thank you all for almost 7 years of YouTube and for sticking around despite the inactivity. I will probably never be very active on here again, but it was fun while it lasted.
Not sure how many of you are still around but thank you for watching if you did tune in. These characters are Lozakuran and Kamogei and they're from a newer story that's been in the works for a few years now. Lozakuran appeared in both Diving Bell parts but I haven't spoken much about the publicly. It takes place nearly 3 decades after Destination Unknown (and don't worry, I'll have an update about that at some point... We haven't seen the end of of it though) and follows an entirely different cast of characters. Ill talk about it more in the future but I just wanted to check and say I'm not dead, I'm just currently recovering from a social media addiction and have been very busy irl. I hope to get back on my feet and animating again for 2024 but we'll see what life throws at me. I hope you all are doing well and I'll talk to you all soon.

So uh, I misinterpreted the color pallet. We see it in the final loop but I thought it just meant an overlay over the full thing, not just the characters. My mistake. The background with Akita is technically off-pallet and resembles something from earlier in the MAP. I think it's good symbolism but I'll probably have to change it xD But speaking of symbolism... I wonder what's going on here??
I finished this back in October but due to a major milestone I'm approaching in my life, I feared that it may be my last video of the year so I held it back as long as possible. News of said milestone to come at the end of January as well as a number of updates with both DU and some other things. I can't wait to share all of this with everyone ^^

I started working on this meme in the summer of last year but didn't pick most of it up until after Christmas. Truth be told, this video has been done since the first week of January but it just kept getting pushed back in favor of another video. Given we crossed over the 1.5K mark between now and then, I wouldn't have it any other way. The first meme I uploaded to this channel revolved around Mendaleave and "Doppelganger" for my 150 sub special, so it's only fitting for this video to be the 1,500 sub special. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! (the color pallet btw is a call back to the Copycat meme btw which also revolved around the same characters)

A few days late with uploading this. Oddly enough a different video was supposed to be posted on the 13th but then I impulsively decided to enter the contest at the start of February. Adobe Animate and I had some big falling outs brining this to YouTube. The file was so big I was only a handful of MB away from having to split this project up into parts to render it. I'm honestly amazed I was able to finish this in a little over two weeks. These have some of the most stylized and detailed backgrounds I've done to date. I would say the animation itself is rushed but I'm super happy with what I was able to do in the time frame.
There's a few days left to enter the contest!

Behold, the first time Csedaline has ever smiled in a short animation--to my knowledge. I should do my best to give him a break this year. He did get slapped against a wall last January.

After nearly a month of working on this I finally finished. If you didn't get already, this is a remake of a video I made back in August 2018. I wanted to add some more to it but I have put off episode 2 long enough and have to get work on that ASAP.

Welp, that part took longer than I expected. I basically spent the last three days living in my room as I worked my butt off trying to finish this. This was SUPPOSED to be a slower part but MY HAND HAS OTHER PLANS. It ended up becoming a perspective eperiment with high and low angles. There's still a lot of room for improvement but I'm THRILLED by how it turned out. I hope you all are as excited about it as I am.

I didn't expect to end the new year on a vent piece but I'm happy with how it turned out. The channel is going to change a bit for 2020 so stay tuned for a couple of update videos. No, DU is not going anywhere and I plan to have episode 2 out by the end of next year. There's some other things that have been going on I feel I should communicate what's going on.

It's been a long journey but I got this thing out in a little under two years. About 80% of the episode was animated between the months of April and September. It just proves how much can get done when you have time to work on it (and don't procrastinate).
Special thanks to all of you who have been here since the very beginning. Your kind words have kept me motivated even thought everything has been slow this past year. I hope this episode is worth the inactivity; and I hope I can get episode 2 out in a timely manner.

It's been quite the journey. I've animated well over half of this in the last three or four months. Currently, the episode is 75% done. The remaining 25% has not been touched but it shouldn't take all the long. I can't wait to release it!

I know I used the pitched audio but it just sounds better to me? I can understand the words better xD
I won't be active at all until mid July due to my work schedule and trip to Arkansas. I hope to start doing some stream again by then but we'll see.

I have decided to ax shading from my animations entirely. 1) Flash goes nuts if I try to shade and it's too many crashes than it's worth. 2) I feel my style looks better without it. I'm going to experiment with methods to mimic a form of shading but for right now I think the flat color is fine.

now let's see if I can get the other part done before the due date..... It will have more action in it XD this one was mostly for me to practice slower shots (and they are shots from the episode as of right now. The last one is from episode 2 though.)
Shading is my enemy. A good third of my time spent on this was on shading! It ended up alright but it definitely ruined the fluidity on the animation :-/ of well, this was great practice.

After a long long long long long time of procrastinating, losing motivation, frustration, and anger, I finally finished this map part! Only took me... forever. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Even if there are few anatomy errors that I had no heart to fix, I am actually impressed with how it ended up. Just goes to show that you can't just an animation the the line art stage.
This is actually another conceptual map part for episode 4. That's about all I can say.
Thank you all for 1,000 subs. I will make a video for that shortly.

I believe this is the first part where a character has shapeshifted. Most of my characters actually are not shapeshifters outside of the tribe and doppleganger. I would love to go into more detail about the mechanics in the future. The shapeshifting used to be a part of elemental control but that has been scrapped for nearly two years and now it's a lot more complicated to explain XD
The men in Black also make the second appearance on this channel. We haven't seen them since Jaurary of 2017 o.O
here we have a younger Nalyan reflecting on... something in the spiritual mist. He's around 16 in this part.
*cough* and ten minutes... 3 hours and ten minutes is what the raw footage came out to... and then five hours of rendering!! What is life XD
anyway, I am SO PROUD of myself with this part. I really felt like I pushed the boundaries with this map despite *trying* to stay true to the 3 hours. It felt nice to push myself to completing something in the time limit and makes me want to animate more. I was in a bit of a slump over the weekend and this helped motivate me. I tried a lot of new things with this such as a pivot on the foot to turn around which I LOVE the outcome of and dropping picture frame. I would highly suggest doing one of these maps sometime. It really makes you think on your feet and forces you to not be a perfectionist.
anyway, a bit about the character. I think the first time we say him was in my mister blue sky map part. He goes my the name of Soul and he is forced to wander the world in limbo between the living world and spiritual world. He can't physically touch anything in the living world but he can hear and see everything around him. One day, during the harvest festival, he put his scarf over his head and someone from the living world was able to see him. Despite this, he still cannot touch anything nor can anyone touch him. This leads him to becoming very troubled and depressed. Can't say much more as to why he is somewhat of a pseudo-villain (since it's really only to himself and those he is close with) but that's his story.

Oh wow, I completed this in four days. I got rather experimental with the part. Adding twice as many frames than initially planned an tried to stylize the backgrounds more. I thought about taking out shading altogether but I think (for the most part) it doesn't see too distracting. Special thanks to Ari for doing an experimental background for me. I took inspiration from her softer brushes a color pallet.
four days guys. Four whole days. It's amazing how fast I can animate when school is out (and my parents aren't home to yell at me for being on the computer for so long).
characters: Csedaline, Cynthia, Akita, and Lilly.
Characters: Mendaleave, Akita, doppleganger.
I decided to experiment with this part have learned something crucial. I need to do effects that create their own light before shading because... it's not accurate. The fire light should create it's own shadows on the figures but I just... don't have the heart to redo it XD

Small note: I still have some map parts I HAVE to get done soon. Map hosts, I have not forgotten. I am nopt joining anymore maps at the moment though because once I get those out of the way, I'm going to hyper focus on my series.
Anyway, here it is! I didn't have the heart to shade the animation but this was fun! Turned out a lot better than I thought it would from the sketch!

Q&A update: I ran into some technical difficulties for recording the Q&A. There have also been a lot more question than I thought so I'm going to break it into two, possibly three parts. You should be seeing part 1 next friday assuming circumstances don't interfere with recording time again.
