Day 7: favourite character/dragon

[mi4011hemanshapeiris]

Intro to Animation

Our first in class assignment for the day consisted of us writing briefly about our journey as artists, and making a storyboard for the narrative.

Then, we were handed the main project brief for the module, which we read aloud. Our lecturers explained each step clearly so that we could have a wider understanding of this assignment, and the module in general. The brief explains about how we must pick an animator and create a documentary/biography that lasts approximately 30 seconds. We were told not to pick any extremely popular animators, and that it would be better if we find artists that aren't well known about. We were told to list down names of animators as the first step of our project.

For this part of the assignment I focused a lot on animations that have inspired me, and that i prefer the most in terms of aesthetic presentation and level of meaning/depth that the artist is able to convey through their animations.

For example, the first names I searched up were animators that worked on the music videos for the J-pop star Eve. I find his AMVs to be very aesthetically pleasing, and the animation to be very enjoyable and attention grabbing while also being able to tell a continuous and exciting story through the words of the songs and the narrative surrounding each music video. (Especially the MVs for the songs Kokoron and Yoku) Then I also wrote down some animators who worked on the animated short story channel on Youtube called GOBELINS, because I watch their videos a lot and enjoy them immensely. Jackie Droujko is another name that came to mind, because I love her artstyle, and her character designs, as well. Her short animations "Mismatched" and "Bang Bang" were thoroughly gripping and enjoyable due to her use of color and storytelling. Isha Mangalmurti was chosen due to her work on the short Indian animated film named "Wade", and her incredible work in it, along with the other animators that worked in it to bring the story to life.

I will be researching more on each of these artists to gather more information in order to figure out which animator I want to focus on. I originally started with having no idea who to choose, but after writing down all these names, I seem to be becoming a bit indecisive, as they're all so interesting to learn about! 2024/02/26

Are you allergic of something, Xie? :0c

"I'm not allergic to anything." He said with a small hum.

i would Absolutely tell you! i am about to study for my final exam tho so ill just copy and paste the infodump from discord. also i Am two of the characters (kinsidering another but not sure)

ok so this is a power puff girls x mother series crossover called Psionic Pro Boys and . and holy fuck its edgy. its so much edgier than both the sources anyway. But i like it so that excuses it

its the mother characters placed in a powerpuff girls environment yknow? the main 3 characters are ness, lucas and ninten (the 3 protagonists of their respective games) and theyre a part of the psionic pro boys, or PPB. theyre superpowered individuals who are there to save their town, before AND after bedtime! and. oh my godd they are DIFFERENT. definitely a lot more explosive. theyre aged up a bit (around 16) but oh my godddd holy shit. the creator of the au (im going to call her sherbet shes rlly chill actually i miss her) recently posted new designs for them (she changed up their races to make them more inclusive i think) which i think works, i still kind of prefer the old designs??? that or i just like her old artstyle better. she drew lucas with two left hands in the old design tho shdndhdnnsbdb

there's the psychicexpert girls, the PEG, which consist of paula, ana, and nana! theyre a rebel group afaik and are also superpowered! i am nana so i should know, but i dont. classic me.

see, the girls are fucking EXPLOSIVE and very, VERY destructive. mean characters too. i'm like. slightly dumb but very kind and considerate. (bro even NEIL tolerates me but ill get into that in a but) and also i can play piano. woohoo! she just like me fr.

ok so these mfs' backstories are definitely darker than the original show/games (keep in mind i did not watch powerpuff girls i would not know) since they were either abused or abandoned by their parents and were found by HIM and adopted by him. HIM is a fucking demon (possibly the devil) btw. he's definitely a villain ill get to him one day

ok so yknow how i said this series was definitely very fucjing edgy? there was supposed to be a fourth psionic pro boy. travis, to be specific. he was constructed using his brother's dna(?) and he was like. really fucking clumsy. after a fuck up with the other boys, people started making fun of him and he started getting bullied in school more until he fucking MELTED and became the original substance of the chemical x (or whatever the fuck) inside of him. i think this was corruption or something i dont remember much. but holy FUCK

i should mention that i (claus) am also a character in this!!! claus was separated from lucas idk when and found a different chemical crystal(?). he became superpowered but didnt tell anyone about it and became anxious about it so he ran away. he was found by another villain named zento, who soon adopted him and trained him. bitch has never felt emotions besides hatred and jealousy so yknow he has not had a good life!!! also my cybernetic canon is here too. in an accident claus lost his arm, and was replaced with robotic parts. he has a skin glove thingy to cover it up tho

ok do you want even more edge??? do you???? now you do! theres canonically a reverse world. different characters based on their og world counterparts. i mentioned neil; he's ness's counterpart. he's a part of the psionic punk boys, or PPNKB to shorten it. the other members are luis and nixon, and by god theyre fucking EDGYYYYYYY. neil is my favourite for reasons (the reason being that i am nana /j) and to be completely honest im not sure if i just Really Like him or Am him. so anyway holy fuck these kids were Abused and Neglected (neil and nixon were) and some even became Not So Human! luis and nixon did thats for sure. i am very Fond of them.

yknow how i mentioned that i was claude? thats luis's brother! after an incident where a cult society killed our father and found my brother, i watched them torture him until they had a buckets worth of blood and ran the fuck away to the police. they ended up reuniting me with my mom but we were both traumatized lmao. also i (claude) am probably autistic or something since i have a special interest in bugs (CANONICALLY) which i did not fucking notice until now holy shit

and then theres the psychic fancy girls! or the pfg. paulita is the leader! shes very girly and enjoys makeup, but she isnt afraid to get her hands dirty! arianna is like paulita but more cutesy :) *and then theres nara.* shes very pretty but shes a cold person with little remorse for what she does. she barely shows emotion and holy FUCK is she strong. like my gee. she is NOT TO BE MESSED WITH.

hmmmmm is there anything else i feel like talking about rn.... OH WAIT THE YOKAI CARRIERS

so theres this bitch named tony.... he was just an exchange student. and like. ||he became friends with jeff. like really close friends. and since he gay he had a bit of a crush on jeff! but since he started spending more and more time with ness and less and less time with tony he got really fucking jealous. like. REALLY jealous. so much so that he ended up developing psychic powers on his own and became a cherub. he did swear revenge on ness so thats his main target.|| i dont know where the bio for tony is but i did find one in my dms with sherbet so ! yeah.

and then we have lloyd! lloyd is definitely one of my favourites bc hes a floral beast :) so anyway he was like. bullied by ninten in school. so like he does NOT like ninten. same with varik, an exchange student, who acts just like him. his abilities are powered by his emotions, so theyre very hard to control. the yokai taking hold of him is a furutsubaki. feel free to look into it :)

theres some other yokais but like. i do not have the bios on them and do not remember them

that should fortunately be it

Wow that's a lot of text! And golly gee did I read it all and would do it again/pos

This does indeed fall into very edgy territory but honestly? I love edgy shit. Like stupidly edgy. Edgy for the sake of edgy I love it!!! And edge aside there's some genuinely cool stuff here. Travis just fucking MELTING into chem x is way to goddamn metal sorry. I'll be real I don't know jack shit about the mother series I never got into it even tho I know it's an important part of gaming history oopsie. So I really don't know how this compares to the real thing. And there's definitely a lot of info here and I feel like this makes way more sense and flows way more nicely when put into context lmao. But honestly still thanks for sharing this was a cool read!

Pick an OC of your choice and answer all the questions! :)

Okay awesome. This’ll be fun to do. I think I’ll do them for Eric because he’s the one I’m really thinking about right now.

1. What’s their full name? If they’re an alien and their name is in their native planet’s language, have you thought about what it means?

Eric’s full name is Eric Patrick Ashwolf. His middle name comes from his Father‘s grandfather.

2. Say your OC made a playlist on Spotify. What bands would be on that playlist? Any specific genres?

His playlist would probably consist of rock bands and alternative bands. Most likely it would be full of Of Mice and Men, Queen, AC/DC, Soft Cell.

3. What kind of video games would they play? Any specific titles?

He doesn’t really have time to play video games because he’s constantly busy with something but when he was younger he enjoyed playing FPS games and anything zombie related or maybe sometimes like Crash Bandicoot or Sonic.

4. What would their favorite cartoons be, and why? What would their favorite characters be?

He really likes Tom and Jerry. He remembers hanging out with his Dad and watching it a lot when he was growing up. He really loved Spike, he was his favorite character in the show.

5. What’s their favorite type of weather? Do they like to do anything specific on days when the weather is how they like it?

He really likes warm weather where it isn’t too hot but it isn’t too cold either. He spends a lot of his time outside with long sleeves on, so it helps when the weather isn’t hot or cold and is in between.

6. If they’re a fan of Hot Chocolate, Tea, or Coffee, how do they like either of those drinks prepared?

He prefers tea in all honesty, because he doesn’t really like coffee or hot chocolate that much. But he will drink coffee some mornings when he’s extremely tired and hadn’t gotten enough sleep the night before. Usually it’s just plain coffee with a lot of cream poured in.

7. What kind of animals would they like as a pet? What names would they give their pets if they got any? If they already have pet’s what are their names?

He would probably have something like a corgi named Chumbs. He isn’t really sure why he would have one or why he would name him that but he just really loves Corgis.

8. How does your OC keep track of time? Do they have a planner? A calendar?

He doesn’t have the greatest memory when it comes down to remembering dates and stuff so he normally uses the calendar on his phone to mark down anything important and he also keeps a calendar in his bedroom in case something happens.

9. How do they write? Do they write in cursive? How do they dot their i’s and j’s? Do they have specific ways that they write certain letters?

He doesn’t have the best handwriting in the world, he just writes super fast and it looks sloppy but it’s still easy to read.

10. What’s their favorite time of day?

His favorite time of the day is probably around midnight.

11. What kinds of foods and drinks do they like? Do they like certain foods to be fried? Do they prefer certain foods to be prepared hot/cold?

He’ll eat just about anything since he isn’t all that picky about what he’s eating as long as it’s food.

12. If they were an actual character in an animated film or TV series, who would they be voiced by? Do they have a certain accent that the person would need to perfect?

Well, his face claim is Casey Deidrick, so I’d probably say that he would be voiced by him.

13. If you are an artist, and if your OC can draw as well, could you replicate what their artstyle looks like? Or, if you can’t, could you describe it?

Eric can’t draw to save his life. He has an issue drawing stick figures and straight lines.

14. If your OC owned a Tumblr blog, what kind of content would they post?

Probably mostly likely anything to do with fitness or animals. He’s a nut for both of them.

15. How do they type? Do they use emojis? Do abbreviate and shorten words?

He writes out all of his words and usually has long ass messages to people because he likes to be very detailed. He doesn’t really use emojis at all, he hasn’t grasp the concept of them.

16. If your OC was a film director, what kind of movies would they make?

Definitely action movies. It’s possible they he might make some sci-fi movies.

17. If your OC was a musical artist, what genres would they do?

Alternative or rock.

18. What type of singing voice does your OC have?

He’s been told that he sounds like a dying whale, so he can’t sing at all.

19. Does your OC like to collect things? What kind of things do they collect?

No, he doesn’t really collect anything.

20. Was your OC inspired by anything? Another character? A person?

Some of the things that I had happen in his life makes him sound like he’s based off of William Herondale from TID in the sense that one of his parents is a Shadowhunter and his other parent is a mundane.
