don't look at me i'm still on hiatus, i just got fidgety when i saw i hadn't uploaded for 18 days, lol. so perhaps i speedran this in one day, what of it?? don't judge ME

yooo roughly three weeks of near-constant work and this animatic is finally done!! i'm so glad. i wanted to push myself and make sure this looks about as good as i can make it, purely to show the progress i've made in roughly 6 months since ballad of technoblade :D (imagine how powerful i'd be if i had the attention span to watch tutorials....... effervescent.)
i wrote the plan for this way back in august when i first got into the dreamsmp plot, then drew the storyboard in october sometime, and then finally picked it back up in late november!! this was so exhausting to work on, and i'm super proud of myself for getting it done (β'β‘'β)
it's good that it's done now. we could all do with a wholesome reminder of l'manburg's beginnings after the angsty arcs as of late, haha
(i did intend to get Bells and Apex Predator done before the end of this year, but i spent that time making short techno animatics instead, lol. oh well! they'll look better later anyway, once i've learnt more!! at least this is one project i can cross off the poll!)
anyway i definitely need a break, so i'll be going on hiatus again!! thank you for watching, and i hope you enjoyed π

started this like,,, end of august/start of september, got most of it done, then kept pushing it aside in favour of more time-sensitive projects, and now it's been two months and it looks really bad and i hate it so i just finished it up with some lazy lipsync and final touches, lmao. i just wanted it done and posted so i didn't have to think about it anymore haha :D
it's such a relief to get it posted. now i can continue on with other animatics without feeling as guilty :D!!!
i've got a bunch of good audio clips from this stream, and i did this one first because it's the shortest :0 let's see how well my wrists hold up to make the rest of them haha.
i have a newfound respect for animators who have to animate boring talking scenes and make them look interesting. this was HELL, lmao. i pushed myself to add more motion in order to make up for the arguably dull audio, and i'm actually really happy with how it turned out :0!!
did i really gain like 1k subs within a few days after those two techno animatics?? psspspsps come here techno simps, i've got content for you, pls give me more clout-

(was hoping to get it done in one, but that was a little TOO ambitious for my wrists) it was super fun tho!! especially testing out more accurate dream and techno designs for the sake of halloween!!
(edit: i just realised techno saying "friendship sucks" whilst dressed as a vampire is indescribably hilarious LMAO)
thank you for 5k subs (POG), and i hope you enjoy(ed)!! π·
took a mental health day (mostly) away from social media and ended up spending the day making this to distract myself and soothe my anxiety, lol. one day i will actually sit down and properly make a techno design, but until that day he will continue to change between Every Single Animatic, and there's nothing you can do about it π
"but xen, where is his crown-" shhh i didn't want to draw it okay
(he looks like a frickin vampire here and idk how to feel about that--)
Combine two artistic simps, and you get one simpful project :0! We got in contact on the 26th of August and planned this out over the next few days, then didn't touch it until like a week ago when we both speedran to get it finished, haha. It was a new experience for both of us, and we bumbled through it together (:
I went into this expecting to maybe make an art buddy, and instead came out with a soulmate. Tex is so cool I love him and it was so much fun to work on this project with him :D!!!
I remembered Dear Theodosia had a reprise on the 27th of Sept. I knew what I had to do.
("oh no it's all coming together, this is gonna be PAINFUL" - me to vortex)
This took me 8 days and was pretty fun!! Well,,, it got tedious and tiring in the middle, but it always does, lol. Towards the end Animate crashed twice, both times erasing some of my progress, and the second time I just started listening to "Welcome to the Black Parade" and emo songs, haha-
I genuinely forgot subscribers were a thing but THANK YOU for 3k subs!! The clout.... it's mine.....
I started this little animatic thinking "i wanna practise more motion, but not too much, i want this to be a quick project" and as always, the perfectionism kicked in and i added so many details asjhd- and because of that i ended up not touching it for like,,, weeks, and in the meantime worked on something else and learnt more, so i think the motion in the second half of this is a bit better and neater overall??
i'm gonna make more l'manburg animatics, but i want to have them all completed first before uploading so i can post regularly for a bit (:
yikes i burnt out HARD on this and it shows bc some of the frames are really ugly but ANYWAY i'm very glad this is finished so i can relax and do something else! i can't draw foxes and i DEFINITELY can't draw furries so this was a struggle, oof. i think the idea for this animatic was funnier in my head, nevermind!!
i seriously need to chill for like a week after working on animatics literally every day for nearly two months now LMFAO β time to fade out of existence and never return-
also i plan on making a channel post soon in regards to possible future animatics so keep an eye out for that π
i watched mcc yesterday and heard this quote and was like "oh man that'd be funny out of context" and then two seconds later realised "hey, wait, i can take this out of context!"
this could've been better but i wanted to see if i could get it done today! i shunted my current animatic project aside for this lmaoo oops

Audio: MCC8 Techno's POV (youtu.be/wXspodtIxYU?t=658) [10:58 timestamp since the link doesn't work for some reason]
My clout was depleting, so I have returned to feed you! (jk i just finished this now) Hope you enjoy(ed) this silly animatic (:
This was super experimental again to see what I like and don't like and places where I can improve or cut corners to save time. It took about 2 1/2 weeks to make, but there were technical difficulties at the start that took a few days to work out and fix, and I had to redraw the first few frames, oof. I doubt I'll do another animatic with this style because this nearly murdered my wrists and my motivation, so uh. No thanks, lol.
(d.... don't mind the colour palette at the edge of the frame briefly...... i forgot to hide that layer when i re-exported the file for the nth time.......)
I didn't realise until I made the written plan and wrote out the file name that this project is a goddamn pun. I just randomly got the song in my head, connected it to my current interests, and it took me, like, a week to realise the "no sleep/sleepy bois" pun. I also didn't realise that this colour palette is basically the same as the lyric video - I was just thinking of Wilbur and his yellow jumper, man, I cannot believe this-
anyway uhh,, i,,, mayhaps wanna make a couple of L'Manburg/L'Manberg animatics because i'm invested in the story..... so.... π³ππ (we'll see how my wrists fare i guess, i'm in pain)
(it's interesting to note that techno is wearing the same outfit as in sara berry, and the pigs on his pyjama top are the same as the pig plushie in sara berry...... hmmmm connected universes hmm?? ((no i'm just lazy haha)))
I had this idea,, like,,, months ago (omg it was December, how-), and I just remembered it existed the other week when i wanted to work on a quick, simple animatic for practise. I say this literally every time I start work on an animatic but I think the next one WILL actually be sketchy and messy - and provided everything goes to plan, that next one will be an animatic of Sleepy Bois Inc & Tommy, but mostly focused on Wilbur to the song No Sleep by Caamp!!
I only realised right upon exporting that the board size wasn't 1920x1080, so the quality's a bit scuffed, rip (':
EDIT 7/9/20: wh- bro, 200k views? my CLOUT! if i'd have known you guys would like this so much, i would've put more effort in π³ππ thank you so much ππ EDIT 10/11/20: 300k views pog π³
i, too, went feral on this project. it was supposed to be simple and messy but the perfectionism kicked in. normally i do a written plan beforehand so i know everything flows nicely, but this time i just... leapt straight in with little idea of what i was gonna do, and ended up with half of it finished within 5 days before i got busy and had to slow down, lol. this took about 2 1/2 weeks i think??
i was expecting to work on a different techno and dream animatic that i've actually got a plan for, but i needed to do character designs to keep things consistent, and i Did Not want to do that so i started this one instead, oops - hence why the designs are so simple and lazy here π³
this was quite a lot of fun to make - it was nice being spontaneous for once!! i tried a lot of new things and challenged myself to improve, and i think it worked out pretty decently. and also.... mm lip-syncing... although it got out of sync in the mp4 file and idk why, it's fine in animate )):
~ FAQ: ~
- Who is X person? - This animatic features (in order): Techno, Wilbur Soot, Sapnap, Dream, GeorgeNotFound, Philza, Nihachu, FitMC, Skeppy, A6d, BadBoyHalo, and TommyInnit!
- What does this have to do with Techno or Dream? - It's just a silly animatic inspired by their fun rivalry and Techno's penchant for (video game) murder! Don't take it seriously, man.
- Why does Dream only have one leg? - Just to fit the lyrics!
me: i'd better not work on animatics for a while bc it's really damaging to my wrists also me: i will Die if i Do Not create Constantly (as i type this i'm resisting the urge to immediately start another animatic hhh)
even though i prefer drawing dynamic scenes (like in legend rock you) i knew i HAD to make this animatic because anything that uses Toxic in a fight scene is immediately Iconic as hell haha
anyway i learnt a lot making this!! and i also learnt that i'm a huge perfectionist and nearly gave up on this project halfway through due to that causing me so much unnecessary pain and stress, but thankfully i managed to snap out of it and had a lot more fun drawing messier lines (: i did intend to add more detail, like shading and lighting, but,,, i've already spent more time on this project than i meant to, and it's showing in my wrist pain lol. this is good enough, and i'm happy with it!!
lip syncing is so much fun π₯Ί drawing iida's armour is decidedly NOT so.
i feel like the quality got butchered but,, idk how to fix that. oh well. maybe it's just because i'm watching it on a big ol' screen
i never want to draw a ua gym uniform or bakugou's stUpid hair ever again
SO this was a nightmare to create. i feel like pretty much everything that could've gone wrong went wrong. i spent a week sketching the frames at the start of December (Epic III's sketch took 7 hours. just to put it into perspective lol) and was intending to get the whole animatic finished within Dec, and THEN my wrists started to hurt too much for me to be able to hold anything (repetitive strain, don't recommend yikes), so I had to stop doing Everything for a couple of months to ease up the pain, and after a couple of months of physio, the pain finally eased enough for me to get back to work on this in April. This dunce also deleted the layers with completed backgrounds bc I thought I'd already saved them, so I had to remake them, and they're messier now because I just used the sketch ): Three-ish weeks of work and a whole lot of pain later, it's finally complete. Some of the frames are really ugly but alas I Cannot change them. But y'know what? For all my struggles making it, it's pretty decent, and I'm proud to have got it done.
In regards to future animatics - I was aiming to get an animatic out every few months, but with this wrist pain that's not really viable anymore, oof ): I have a load of ideas to work on when the pain is lessened, though, so look forward to those!! :D
uhh yeah i was just listening to hadestown and writing bnha fanfics and got pummelled by this idea and could hardly rest until it was done lmao. this is?? the biggest project i've ever tackled and i'm super proud of myself for actually completing it, even if i'm not totally happy with it. i was gonna add some more details but i'm hella burnt out so i'm just posting it now.
Anyway uh. I wanna get back into making animatics (and actually completing them for once instead of abandoning them after like two frames-) so I made this super simple one to get a feel for it.
