Ody was late to get his flat coloring done cause he got lost!
You have no idea how happy it makes me that Neal is leaning into Creator-creation interactions
Hey! Maybe you could do Jesstra?
Omg me too
So, basically it's a take on all those animators interacting w/ their creations kinda thing, but like all the stuff on the way there.
Start with the classic circle(once the undos have taken their course) and then turn it into a Loomis head, and boom, the drawing's already conscious
And yeah basically it just keeps going through the stages of the sketch while said sketch is animated and interacting. At one point text lines are added, and then a bit later vocal dubbing, and yeah
(Alternatively if this has already been done pls send it to me artists interacting w/ their creations scratches that itch in my brain like no other)
Chapter 46 of A Curse so Dark and Lonley is from the monster's POV and it's just blank.
WTF DOES IT MEAN!?
@haydarken SEE I FUCKING TOLD YOU
I’M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO GOT JUMPSCARED
I never claimed anything of the sort tho???
Hades, I said I could see what you mean!
I never tried to invalidate your experience,,,
Maybe just… chuckled a little since I don’t have context…
Okay this idea has been marinating in my head for so long and since the chance of me actually sitting down and animating it is low I might as well share it
Welcome to H’s animation ideas, I’ll be your host H, prepare for me to ramble at you
Okay, so there’s a character idea I’ve had that’s basically this guy who can duplicate himself for the purpose of making music
Take “I Hear A Symphony” by Cody Fry; the Composer would start playing piano in the background while the character(s) would do their thing, and then —if I’m using this term right— clone jitsu himself to also play the other instruments
Now, the reason the Epic tags are here, is an adaptation of this for Epic:
✨Hermes✨
It used to just be a bunch of Hermes in different t-shirts w/ their instruments on their shirts, BUT! I just got an idea which gave me an excuse to rant to the void.
@sloanslone ‘s post of all the different Hermes gave me an idea:
In the background of Epic animatics, different creators’ versions of Hermes are making the music
We got one with like a Eury t-shirt on and holding the conductor’s baton makin’ the crew sing
We got one holding Penelope’s viola, etc
Now for some specific shots:
In Mutiny, right at “then you have forced my hand” the Hermes that controls the crew steals the guitar from Odysseus’s Hermes and jams out
Speaking of Mutiny, all the Hermes wince when Eury slits the cows throat, and they are all very anxious about what and who they know is on the way, maybe even edging on the rowers
Then in Thunder Bringer, the first lightning hits, the music plays, and all the Hermes look at each other, confused on where the music is coming from, and at the third sample where it crescendos and Zeus appears, so does Apollo
Being the god of music, he does the music for the gods
Don’t worry about Athena’s music I didn’t think that far back
Anyways what else did I have….
I guess suggest whose design goes w/ what instrument
I think @gigizetz ‘s Hermes should be Odysseus’s, strictly because it’d be fun to animate the one-finger glove playing the guitar
Anyways this has been my rant, treat my idea well it’s been plaguing me every time I listen to the music because I have little Hermes dancing around
(Edit because a part didn’t post)
Okay after staring at the Hermes party for a bit and doing a little digging with no confirmation bias at all I don’t know what you’re talking about we have a draft one cast!
@gigizetz ‘s Hermes shall play Odysseus’s guitar
@anniflamma ‘s Hermes shall be in charge of the Danger and Different Beast motif
@elianzis ‘s Hermes shall play Penelope’s viola
And @bambiilooza ‘s Hermes shall play the drums
That’s the cast I have atm, feel free to leave suggestions (or attempts 👀)

So since I can’t do it myself cuz I’m not home rn plus motivation probably wouldn’t allow it I’ll just type out this animation idea
In God Games, during Aphrodite’s level, at the line “let her feel the pain that her mother felt and rot” she tosses a wilting/rotting rose, and then we focus on it during quick thought and the rose slows its decent to like 0.5-0.25 speed
Then when Ares shows up, there’s a shot of the rose just as it hits the ground and pedals fly everywhere, going slower than the decent
And then when Athena goes again the rose is back and even slower with the pedals flying around
for those who know me, you know that I am a big fan of greek mythology, so when the epic saga by Jorege Rivera-Herrans came out I couldn't help but fall madly in love with it, his music accompanied and inspired me while I was working, and now that this long journey is about to end I couldn't help but leave a tribute to thank him for all the work he has done. he couldn't have left us a better christmas present under the tree! thanks again for everything.
ps: I already know that with the last song I will cry like a fountain!!
Ayo??
Sorry this took forever, BUT HERE IS SUMMER IN BEACONTOWN.
Petra comes back after a couple months to check on Jesse, but it so happens that Jesse has an overload of town work/request since people are still adjusting to the weather!
...also if u see bad grammar...no u don't.
(Again, I headcanon that due to the disruption of the clock they now experience seasons in beacontown)
@haydarken (thanks for the idea)
Eeeeee!!
They’re gay and I love them!
Thank you so much!!
