PretzelSticcsOKAY. Look. I know I've cancelled the last two MAPs I've hosted, but not this time. This is a song I've been wanting to do a MAP to for a bit now, though the ideas I had were taken. Instead, I decided to do a simple colour palette MAP inspired off of the album cover! This project has a lot of parts to fill, and I'm super excited to see what everyone comes up with!

// SONG: youtu.be/AlHYBeVVuSo?si=ez7Lc__FryNSIZjHI DONT WANT TO TALK | MAP PART 7 (NDRV3)PretzelSticcs2024-06-18 | UMM BEEN A WHILE SINCE I POSTED. The saturation may looks a little off towards the beginning of the part, and I'm really sorry about that I tried my best to fix it but I had already merged the layers so there wasn't much I could do without redrawing the entire thing. Should be a little hard to notice hopefully.
Don't have a script for this one, just some HC stuff w/ Training Trio :)
VERS W/O ANY CUTS: - youtu.be/7gDrWtyW1QI?si=4GS5gGVCEFd-KTRUWolf In Sheeps Clothing | PART 3 (OCs)PretzelSticcs2024-04-16 | Me joining another MAP? No way. I wanted to test frame-by-frame on Procreate, and I think I did alright for it being a first attempt. Also, for those who recognise the ocs, it's been a while! I think nearly a year since I last drew these two together, so it was a nice refresher getting to do that again !
These guys are around eight years old now, so they've been around quite a long time!
// SCRIPT Gouldian and Hunterian fight over their leadership roles in the kingdom. Gouldian wanting to lead civilly, while Hunterian wanting to change the rules for a "better" kingdom. In the first half, Gouldian is able to speak through to her friend, before he gets the upper hand and takes the crown for himself with his sly tongue.
// SCRIPT Basira struggles to come to terms with the fact she'll eventually be forced to kill her work partner, Daisy, in attempt to stop the effects of The Hunt.
// MAP + SONG youtube.com/watch?v=Qa-MjRaMIYM youtube.com/watch?v=-uk3GwgNc3oHouse Of Gold | PART 19 (Double Life)PretzelSticcs2024-03-17 | GOD. I haven't listened to this song in a very long time ! I remember learning how to play it back in around 4-5 years ago, and it was one of the first songs I ever learned how to play, so its super cool to get to use it for a project like this!
I literally have not animated anything MCYT related in over a year, so it was so nice to get to use these guys again. Double Life, and specifically the Ranchers, are held very close to me and have my absolute favourite POV from any of the LifeSMP's. I urge to to check out the series if you're looking for something to watch!
\\ SCRIPT: Tango and Jimmy, after recently losing their home to a fire started by some rivals, look over the best options on what to do next. Tango begins coming up with some new ideas for how their home may look, in turn, Jimmy thanks him.
\\ CUT IN + OUT VERSION: youtube.com/watch?v=P8EY-UTAuhMDigital Silence | PART 28 (NDRV3)PretzelSticcs2024-03-06 | I joined a bunch of MAPs so here we go again ! I had so much fun getting to animate this one, as I got to play around with a new style of tweening. I will say, I will 100% be using this style again.
If anything looks off, I'm still getting used to using Procreate for animation, so pardon me for that.
The MAP revolves around antiheros - which are characters, usually the protagonist or other notable figures, who do bad things for a good cause. I chose to focus on Kokichi in the starring role. While most would portray him as a villain, the Mastermind would be the true evil behind the case. Everything he did was for the betterment of the other people in the same situation as him, and by the end of the game, it was shown he truly wanted to help everyone.
\\ SCRIPT: As Shuichi looks over the case that was presented in chapter 4, Kokichi realises most of his classmates have now turned on him. Well, not that they were on his side anyways. But he devises a plan in chapter 5. Kill everyone except for him and one other person.
Though.. This would later turn out to be his way into swaying one other person to his side to help him end the Killing Game.
(also please ignore how i forgot kaito, i thought this was after he got kidnapped lmaoo i literally dont know how i didnt remember him hes lit my fav)
MAP IS STILL OPEN, PLEASE APPLY !!THUNDEROUS | PART 3 + PROGRESS (NDRV3)PretzelSticcs2024-02-29 | Look I know its been about two years since I posted anything about this game, but sometimes you have to give in to the urges. Here I actually tested out a new animation style, challanging myself to use nothing but Procreate and my editing program. I'm actually surprised things turned out how they did, and I couldn't have been happier with it. I cannot wait to get to learn new things with this style!
// SCRIPT Shortly after their attempt and failure at escaping the killing game, Shuichi learns the truth of what really happened. Or, well: Maki's failed murder attempt on Kokichi to have him surrender so she could save her best friend and end the Game from the faux-mastermind.

\\ Script: Shadowshine runs through the forest, looking for his friend, Brownflare. Behind him as he runs, show three portraits, which represent the current world, StarClan, and finally the Dark Forest.

// Script - Following the events from the Double Life SMP series - Boat Boys and Team Rancher faced similar situations with their bases being burnt. Tango's rage progresses further, being a concern to his teammate. In the fifth shot, the victims are shown with their attackers just underneath. The last two shots prove that actions have consequences, showing the final moments of the two who seemed to cause so much trouble.Everyone is dumb! • Animation memePretzelSticcs2022-09-30 | This was more of test than anything, but I was able to pull it off in 3 hours.

( Based on the book Guardian's Of Ga'Hoole by Kathryn Lasky. )
Cackle, a great horned owl was born im Tyto Forest right before the forest burnt down. Once he was old enough to fly he did so, before a large group of Pure One owls struck down from the sky, and took the owletts to their base: St.Aggies, a base for "orphaned owls" in which wasn't the case. They were taught murder solves everything, and that you cannot resist the power of Moonblinking. Though Cackle and a few other owls DID resist Moonblinking and was approved by the leader of the Pure Ones that they should train in a special area, away from Moonblinked owls. He meets a new friend, named Aries. Aries is a large Tawny owl from a forest called Golden Skies. They become friends over time before Cackle is sent into battle. Killing two Guardian's rushing in to rescue Cackle's Moonblinked owl friends from Tyto. Before thinking the battle was over a Guardian slashed his wing, and Cackle fell to the ground. Died because he forgot how to water bucket clutch. (loser)
