Hey again!

I always get  kinda nervous when I get this type of questions, because half of the time I have no idea what I’m doing haha I just learn as I go. But yeah little details add life to animation … and to everything really.

Ok so, honestly, when I’m planning out, I don’t usually think of little reactions or acting that much. In the storyboard stage I just have a general idea of what the scene should look/ feel like, so according to that I just plan the camera shots and composition, and maybe some lighting. Once I start animating or making the key poses (I’m a bit untidy about animating, probably I should plan more) that’s when the little details start to appear. I try to act most of the stuff or at least reckon some muscular memory. It also is important to know the character you are animating, cause everyone has different way of reacting. Hmmm in this case… I just tried to impersonate Piras and how he would react and act. He is a bit erratic and skips from one thought to another easily, so I figured he’d be thinking about the bike one second and then about this fucker trying to grab him for another sec and just when he’s called out he looks at the front (I planned a dialog for this part between, they call him “ Dameschi” which is always an attention call for him be it from teachers or fans or whatever, it reminds him to behave.)

Sooo ooo That would be it… C: <3

Hey! Haha my amazing anime omg thank you so much. I’m doing a short animation right now, but Awaken is actually going to be a webcomic first, I don’t have a definitive date of release, but when I do I’ll let everybody know.

Ok so here goes a summary. 

Piras Dameschi is an impulsive, self-absorbed and immature 18 years old teenager, son of the deceased hero, Captain Vanyo Dameschi.
He lives a very comfortable life in Nova until one day his existence is shaken as an attack of monstrous creatures takes place in the center of the capital.
Piras, who’s been caught up in the middle of the chaos, rescues an injured woman named Nyl Astra without knowing that she will be the first step towards unveiling the strange death of his father and the secrets hidden under Nova’s perfect appearance.
Forced to fight alongside Nyl and the Resistance and chased by the Imperial Guard, Piras will become a fundamental piece on the war between humanity and aberrations.

I just realized I have never posted aberrations here on tumblr, so have this really old pic… That’s the lovely aberration and Piras and Nyl who has her old design uugg dies
