"O LIGHT - Mob Psycho 100 fan animation" CREATION PROCESS

    Well hellooooo internet! Welcome to another blogpost! And today I'd like to share with you my creative process of my latest video! A fan-animation from Mob Psycho 100, featuring the song "O Light" by Kikuo with Hatsune Miku!

    But first, a short story: The year is 2021 and I finally got that stingy desire to watch a very specific show, a feeling I get every now and then where my brain just decides it wants to watch a random anime/movie at that very moment and I can't calm it down until I answer to its demands.

    The anime this time was Mob Psycho 100, this anime had actually been on my radar ever since it released in 2016, buuut I didn't have Chrunchyroll at that time and I personally hate the pirated anime experience (sketchy sites, low quality footage, small PC screen EEEEEEE), so I kinda put it aside with the intend of torrenting all the episodes later, however I just ended up forgetting about it, haha....

    Anyway, I finally watched it and it was love at first sight, instant fave, I love it and I believe it's one of the greatest things humanity has ever achieved. Then comes O Light, man, after watching the show every time I'd see the beginning of that music video I'd think "Hey this would make such a cool Mob animation". Thus an idea was born.

    But after so many years, why did I decide to execute it just now? Well, I was young and under-confident about my art, I also had zero editing skills/knowledge. Nowadays, thanks to self-improvement, After Effects classes, support from teachers, and currently re-watching the show, I finally decided to do it.

Animated Profile Pics

    Hello internet! Here's some animated gifs that I made a loooooong time ago, feel free to use them as pfps, as I made them exactly for that.

    So a small story about each of them. I created Mondo's and Byakuya's when I was still playing DR1, Mondo's I made in one day so it looks kinda choppy and the consistency of his face is all over the place, but honestly I just wanted to pass the time and draw his beautiful eyelashes/eyeliner LOL. I was going for the comic book style of the Closing Arguments, and I think it turned out quite nice for something made in just one lazy afternoon.

    As for Byakyua, I put more effort on him, it took me one week to finish. Why did it take so long you ask?? Idk. I was travelling when I made him and had a lot of free time so I wanted to spend as much time as possible on him, that's why the canvas is not only bigger, but also his movements a bit more intricate, plus I did my best to make sure his proportions stayed consistent. I don't even like Byakuya that much LOL but he turned out great (also everyone that I showed him to thought he was a girl XD).

    OH LOOK IT'S OZEN, she's not even from danganronpa what the hell is she doing here?? So I made her as a gift for a friend and he allowed me to post it on my socials so it's all good. I did like Made In Abyss but I don't really call myself a fan, still a great anime totally worth a watch.

Saya...ka...?

✦ SPOILER WARNING: Heavy spoilers for chapter 1!!! ✦

     Hello internet! I made another video! This time is an original short animation, took me around one week to finish it.

    You see the idea behind the animation was that I wanted to crate something dramatic and "professional" looking, as well as an experiment on shading/lighting effects in After Effects. Tell you the truth this wasn't even supposed to be a video, just a collection of 4 drawings, then one day I saw the "nobody's coming to help us!" bit in a Sayaka Maizono video compilation, and eureka! A video idea was born. There was no script, no planning, nothing, I was just figuring everything out as I edited.

    Ngl this was very fun to do, and I'm satisfied with the result. So here's the art featured in the video without any filters!:

 Animations!:

YABABAINA - Nichijou Animation Meme (eye strain)

 ✦ EPILEPSY WARNING: flashing lights and possible cause of eye strain ✦

    Look internet I posted a new video! It took around two weeks to finish it! Actually I wanted to add even more stuff into it, but I was kinda becoming uninterested in it so I figured I needed to get this thing done before it fell into "abandoned project" hell.

    Well I could talk a bit more about it buuuuut... I don't really have much to say, other than animating frame by frame is a total pain in the ass, but it was worth it, I'm very satisfied with the end result! Yes, I'm really proud of this one, I also learned that After Effects HATES working with gifs, so yeah totally keeping that on my supposedly next video.

"MORTIS - Faith fan animation" CREATION PROCESS

    Okay so for my second official post ever, I've decided to talk about my most popular Youtube video! It's a fan animation of the game Faith: The Unholy Trinity that I made for my animation class in college.

    The teacher allowed us to make an animation about anything, as long as it was animated (obviously, duhh) in any way and between 1 minute to 1:30, the deadline was 2 months. At the beginning my two ideas were either this or a small illustrated documentary about the KATU exploding whale that happened in 1970, very random I know XDDDDD I just thought it would be funny LOL.

    I ended up choosing the Faith animation, and the 3 reasons I decided Faith was:

1. I was in my Faith phase at the time, watching multiple gameplays etc;
2. The story from the first installment was simple enough to fit the one minute mark - priest enters abandoned house, encounters ghost, dies - Simple, fast, easy;
3. The style: The game has a very simple yet distinct style, thanks to the lack of details I could draw more frames for a smooth motion and make good looking scenery quite fast.

HEAVY METAL LOVER MEME

    FIRST EVER OFFICIAL POST!!!

    For this special occasion I would like to share my brand new animation, since I'm still in my Danganronpa phase, I made a Junko animation lol.

    This year in college we're having After Effects classes, and it's been loads of fun! There's so much you can do like wow omg. So I decided to make this more to get familiar with the program, so it's not as polished as it would be if this was a more important project, took me around two weeks to finish it, plus with satisfied as is.

    Wow this is like, my first actually well-put-together animation meme! I've been watching animation memes since I was a kid and always wanted to make one, I mean, I did make two in the past, when I first got my Wacom tablet and started getting into digital drawing, but that was, what, 5 years ago??? Wow it was a long time alright, I also didn't have any fancy editing software aside Windows Movie Maker XDDD.
