~* AURORA BOREALIS *~ the Complete Krismas Deltarune AU MAP Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2023-12-25 | READ THE DESCRIPTION FOR THE UPDATED PARTICIPANT LIST!As if anything could go wrong on Krismas eve! The Aurora Borealis Deltarune MAP reflects the symbolism shared between Noelle and the "angel" from the unnamed religion in Kris's hometown. The cyberworld has been warped to reflect Noelle's desires, changing into a snowy Christmas themed landscape. Soon she will find her own desires discarded in favor of the whims of a higher entity, one who already has Kris in their clutches...Thank you to everyone who worked hard on this project to make it a reality. It took two years for this map to become a reality, with half a year planning and a year and a half animating it. And a HUGE thanks to the folks who helped collaborate with other animators in the final few weeks of the map’s production to help it premiere on time for the holidays! Be sure to check out all of the artists that were a part of this wonderful MAP!1- The Animator Person @theanimatorperson5864 2- MEBI @mebisanimationsandotherstu8977 3- The1 Foxy https://linktr.ee/the1_foxy 4- Dragonita @DragonitaPurple 5- Eben Taylor @ebentaylor 6- Peggsnbacon @peggsnbacon 7- Flamey Cooler @flameycooler 8- TMuscaria @t.muscaria, Frankendz @frankedz @jamminout128 9- KingThePhantom @kingthephantom3947 , Frankedz @frankedz 10- Vivianabc @vivianabc, The Animator Person @theanimatorperson5864, Gravy @QuantumGravy 11- Soup @Soupie_The_Soup , Mannikin @facadethedog 12- iemonzzest instagram.com/iemonzzest , RadiantDust @beefbastardd 13- PurpleDragon @purpledragon2424 14/15- RadiantDust @beefbastardd 16- Lily-skybean @lily_skybean , Gravy @QuantumGravy, RadiantDust @beefbastardd17- Frankendz @frankedz 18- Rockyyn3 @Rockyy_Carol_Art , RadiantDust @beefbastardd , PurpleDragon @purpledragon2424, The1 Foxy https://linktr.ee/the1_foxy , Dragonita@DragonitaPurple 19- Nate2805 @Nate_2805 , Von Muren @VonMuren 20- Jyoagak @cyprejyo , Eben Taylor @ebentaylor StupidGrem hartro-owns-my-heart-ro.tumblr.com, KingThePhantom @kingthephantom3947 21- Cinnabarlab @cinnabarlab , PurpleDragon @purpledragon2424, Eben Taylor @ebentaylor 22- Jae @jae.is.drawing , The Animator Person @theanimatorperson5864 , End’s Art @EndsArt. 23- Kindnese @Kindnese 24- Liv instagram.com/liv.from.space , RadiantDust @beefbastardd , PurpleDragon @purpledragon2424 Peggsnbacon @peggsnbacon 25- Soffaloaf @soffaloaf , Von Muren @VonMuren ,- Soup, Camphoteric @camphoteric 26- KingThePhantom @kingthephantom3947 27- Jae @jae.is.drawing , Cheshire twitter.com/THE_Cheshire88 , End's Art @EndsArt. 28- Bytes @WackaBytes 29- Kawamaru @Kawamaru 30- Echobsilly twitter.com/echobsilly @echobsilly 31- CelestialSpice @celestialspice 32- Cheshire twitter.com/THE_Cheshire88 33- Von Muren @VonMuren 34- Gravy @QuantumGravy 35- Dragonita @DragonitaPurple 36- Star Nomad @star-nomad 37- Camphoteric @camphoteric , Eben Taylor @ebentaylor , RadiantDust @beefbastardd 38- yoyoYolo blogofyolo.tumblr.com 39- Vivianabc @vivianabc , Gravy @QuantumGravy 40- Dakootha @awadekoko821 CREDITS:1.

The MAP looks so cool so far I cant wait to show yall what we madeVote in the comment section to choose life or death for berdly boy #deltarunememes
Serpent and the Stars (CANCELLED COLLAB) part 127 || Warrior Cats Speedpaint Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2023-09-04 | I claimed this part while I was distracted playing DnD last night and was like "Ok, parts due Monday at 11:59pm? Cool I can do that!" Not realizing that the day it was due was a mistake that they had to fix very quickly to say Sunday night. OOPS.Ty @CheetehZ for the grace period for finishing this!MAP Call: youtu.be/7nMpMoilf4M?si=oLDLTj5Hp8q_HcR_ Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/ebenrosetaylor (commissions are open here!)Tumblr: ebenrosetaylor.tumblr.comDiscord Server: discord.gg/z462zG4eme
Lovers, Brothers, Killers || Warrior Cats Zombie MAProject Part 38 Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2023-08-27 | I've always wanted to be a part of a warrior cats video (AMV or MAP) and I was given the honor of being a part of the Mr.Fear Longtail AU sequel! And I didn't even have to draw cats to make it in!? CRAZY!!! I personally think that I was given this part when I told giinger that I was gonna be busy this summer so I only have the energy to draw very detailed backgrounds and they were like "He's insane. We gotta get him in the map". Idk why but recently I unlocked the ability to draw landscapes and I've been having so much fun with it. I also got the Wolfwakers concept art book this spring so I referenced that for every piece of my backgrounds- down to every leaf and mushroom! Fefef's part for Serpent Sol also inspired the camera movement with the background, although she used a different compositing method than I did.

Neferon - Curse of Strahd [D&D SPEEDPAINT] Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2023-05-20 | It's been a while since I've posted a speedpaint, so here's Neferon from Curse of Strahd! I've mostly doing illustrations over animations lately so I decided to record my process with the csp timelapse feature. I've been drawing a lot of stuff for D&D lately so if you want to see more of my Dungeons and Dragons content, let me know in the comments! I have a few animations and animatics that I'd love to shareIf you like my work, consider supporting me on ko-fi! ko-fi.com/ebenrosetaylor I'm opening my commissions publicly soon, so be on the lookout for that!Tools: Clip Studio Paint, Wacom Intuous ProSong: youtu.be/s8T6ax41Tnk[ID: Digital drawing of Neferon(he/it) as an enfield (from irish mythology); the combination of a red fox, grey wolf, vulture, and 1% raptor. His legs are grey wolf legs spread widely apart, his tail is a raptor tail with vulture feather patterns swooping to the right, his head is a red fox with scraggly facial hair feathers, and vulture wings are sprouting from the mid-upper arm to its pinkie fingers. The patterns on the wings go from orange to brown to black with tiny white spots. He is wearing scholar's robes from Bloodborne, in various states of disrepair. A gray collar pokes out from under his black vest. He wears black pants that are cut off at the knees. The shirt sleeve on the right is completely torn off with frayed strings sticking out, and the other sleeve can be seen completely rolled up. He has a long overcoat with a red trim, the long sleeves roll down to its shoulders due to gravity. He also wears a small pair of circular yellow glasses that hang loosely on his face by a golden chain. He is holding a glowing crystal ball in his left hand, emitting a faint white light on his body. The orb shows the faint image of Strahd's furious face. Neferon is laughing maniacally, his head looking at the ball and head tilted away from the camera, licking his face with his long tongue. His right hand is lifted high and his clawed fingers are curled in various positions as he casts magic on the orb, his feathered wings are spread out and are magnificent.]
Who Are You Really TMA MAP part 15 Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2022-11-02 | I've had this finished for a while, but I haven't actually made the process video.

[Unfinished] Pools OC MAProject- part 22 Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2022-10-29 | These two characters are Alexandria and Captain Rybbon, characters in a story I have planned called Rybbon! I started this animation as a way of figuring out the dynamic between these characters and exploring how they would move. Captain Rybbon is a genetic copy of Alexandria, and stole her identity at a young age to spread misery throughout the multiverse as a powerful being known as a Rybbon Wyrm. This part also helped me get familiar with Adobe animate's functions for an animation class that I teach.

Improvement Animation Meme - Eben Taylor 2011-22 Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2022-04-28 | Ten years of animation! Anyone else start their animation journey on flipnote hatena?Fandom list: mlp, warrior cats, homestuck, undertale, splatoon, the magnus archives, mother 3, and stellar firma. If you can't pair the animation to the fandom, it's either a commission or my ocs.
Eben Taylors Unfinished Animations 2017-Present Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2022-04-24 | I have a few more projects that I left unfinished but they're so far into their progress that I would rather add the final touches and be done with it than post it in this group. This is mostly reserved for cancelled maps or projects ended by my own discouragement.List of each project and some information on them:Earthbound MAP- Inactivity in the server plus no deadlines, I didn't think this map would get finished at the rate it was progressing. It was my first time working on a map though, and that was cool!Untitled Project- I actually finished this one, but I rushed it so much that the ending is hot garbage and I'm too ashamed to show the rest of it. I do really like the background work that I did :^)Ashfur MAP- The first warrior cats map I was in! Unfortunately, only two parts were completed and only half of the parts were claimed. Inactivity led me to believe that it wouldn't be completed, and I left so I could focus on college work.Hollyleaf Animation- Skip a few years into the future and Encanto comes out at the exact same time as my tablet breaking horribly. So, I drew these frames with a mouse in a frantic haze. When I had gotten this far, I got discouraged because I saw how many battle cat animators also had the same Idea. True to the spirit of Mirabel, I felt like every other warriors animator was leagues ahead of me and I abandoned this one. I even made designs for Ivy and Dove! Sigh...Stellar Firma (Beetlejuice MAP)- This one I was really excited for but I was planning *stop motion* for this part. I wanted to make a full set for it! I already had the puppets, but just thinking about the work that I'd need to do stressed me out to the point where I had to leave. I wanted to share these David 7s though because they're so cute Fursona Animation (Winter Hymnal)- This one is a map I'm still in, but I'm probably going to change the subject to my Krismas AU for Deltarune. I like the drawings I've done, so I decided to post them here! Songs: Paradise by Bill Wurtz, Man's Gotta Do from Dr Horrible's Singalong Blog, Waiting on a Miracle from Encanto, The Whole 'Being Dead' Thing from the Beetlejuice musical, and Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes.Thanks for Watching!

Canvas- Magnus Archives Animatic Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2022-02-06 | link to the video ID: docs.google.com/document/d/1ysB4o3RL3TC1fYQvwkR-XCmictZX-anRZcPUscSHAIY/edit?usp=sharingIf you would like to see where the plot with this goes, check out the full fic that it was based on here: archiveofourown.org/works/35108941/chapters/87459712 It's a post-canon jonmartin fanfic where Jon has his sight taken from him as a result of his separation from The Beholding. Both he and Martin have a lot to talk about since they ended the apocalypse and doomed potentially countless universes. I had two more minutes of animation I intended to make for this, but I lost motivation after starting my teaching jobs. Though, I wouldn't necessarily call it unfinished because all of the art that was shown is 100% polished and to the standard that I wanted it. It was gonna be so cool, they were gonna break the frames between them and hug! Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood are characters that belong to Jonny Sims, creator of The Magnus Archives.

Same Man I Was Before MAP | Part 11| Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2021-11-17 | D'Angelo is a Martian astronaut who was left behind on Earth to see if it was fit for human life again. What he found on Earth may surprise you! I've been working on this on and off for a long time and I'm happy to say that it's finally done! I got to work with my ocs and develop them more than I have in a long time, and it really helped me establish the story that they're in. Also, It helped me focus more on backgrounds in my animations. I have fun drawing them, and I want to do more work with them in the future.Here's the original map call: youtube.com/watch?v=MnDR50tZmvE Everyone's parts look so amazing, you better be ready for the final thing!!

FRONT DOOR || Complete Magnus Archives MAP Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2021-04-01 | “I am not a ‘who,’ Archivist, I am a ‘Multi-Michael Animator Project.’ A ‘consistent character design’ requires a degree of identity I can’t ever retain.”Here it is, the full version of the Multi-Michael Animator Project || Front Door! When I started this project, I had no idea how much support and excitement would be generated around it. The amount of talented people that helped to create this MAP still floors me. Everyone’s part is so unique and creative, and I am so proud of each and every single one of you.This MAP is a love letter to the creativity of this fanbase; how the designs of characters like Michael and Helen Distortion are so varied and different but still recognizable as the characters they represent. All animators and cosplayers used their own designs for The Distortion. In the spirit of these varying designs, the designs for Jon, Martin, Tim, and Sasha are designed by different participants and voted on by every participant. The video itself premieres on April 1st, the date Michael makes its first appearance in "A Distortion."Here's a list of all the participants. Links to their accounts will be in the pinned comment- give them lots of love!0:00 - ybKitten 0:09 - Feraljayce0:17 - Solitomatonic0:23 - Pi3shark0:32 - HoodieX_ 0:42 - Shiveringabel0:51 - kuppatan0:56 - Mickeymist11:04 - SheaBeanie1:13 - Quirkrash 1:23 - Kodamaiser1:31 - Camphoteric1:37 - Rysttle1:41 - Lieblincense1:49 - kingthephantom1:57 - G4stro2:06 - Sunnymatsu2:14 - Cinnabarlab2:23 - EbenRoseTaylorCharacter designs:Jonathan Sims - AkidachiMartin Blackwood - kuppatanTim Stoker, Sasha James, Basira Hussain, and Daisy Tonner - FeraljayceHonourable Mentions to Akidachi and Fractalize, who unfortunately had to drop out of the map. Luckily we were able to keep using their Jon design throughout the animation, so their touch is still there! Fractalize also incorporated the door transition between Solitomatonic’s part and Pi3shark’s part. Thank you both for joining and helping as much as you have done!I take no credit for the song, this was made for entertainment purposes only. It is completely nonprofit, and I actually lost money making this video if you consider the musician I commissioned for the end credit sequence. “I’m Best Friends with my Own Front Door” is by Bill Wurtz, and the credits cover is by Katie Corrin. This video is inspired by The Magnus Archives, a horror podcast distributed by Rusty Quill.

Magnus Archives Animatic - Lavernes Offer Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2021-01-28 | Or "Laverne offers some beans", like the file name says.MAG 190 spoilers of course! I thought of this concept as soon as I heard the conversation between Martin and Laverne, so I rushed as fast as I could to get this done. Which ended up being a long time, because I had a lot of Martins to draw. Not that I'm complaining, I love that man!! I wanted to post this before the hype behind the cult died down, so enjoy my animatic that I packed some cool Jewish symbolism into! I'll be sure to add subtitles when I can.I'm @ebenrosetaylor on twitter, tumblr, twitch, and instagram if you want to follow me elsewhere.

[ANIMATIC] Dr Habit Needs to Calm Down Eben Taylor (Russianblu) 2020-05-31 | Happy 1st anniversary to Smile For Me, an amazing game that changed my life! I had no idea I would get as hooked to this game as I am now. It was a big inspiration to me and my thesis film, and it taught me that there's no point in creating art that you aren't passionate about. This is the first animatic I've ever made that I'm really proud of. I've never done digital animatics before and I'm really happy with the result. Thank you for watching, and remember to always smile!Audio Source: Sonic Adventure 2 (Dark Story + Final Story) | Real-Time Fandub GamesSmile for Me belongs to Yugo Limbo and Gabe Lane.
