Oh no people are suddenly seeing the Joel proof of concept animation. I forgot to note that I wanted a creature-esque representation of him to appear throughout as initially like a predator hunting down its prey (or at least putting on a scary face like it's going to), and then mercilessly being hunted down itself. Imagery like that really fucks with me and I wanna subject everyone else to it too 👍 it'll be more apparent when I finish the storyboards for the whole thing but that will take a hot second, I've been busy moving rooms so no time to draw :(

#animal symbolism/imagery in general goes so hard always. Canary Jimmy as a representation of him being minimized (and not just the curse)#Scott and Pearl being a deer and a wolf respectively and how that relationship is perceived despite the truth #other times unicorn Scott works so well... mayhaps a unicorn that's merely a horse with a horn but believes itself to be magical #I struggle to apply an animal to Joel though I lean towards donkey #in this animation its just gonna be a shapeshifting creature. Wolf tiger donkey crocodile hybrid thing #but I can use that to further drill in the fact that he falters and dies just the same in spite of all that #blabber
