Welcome to the C&A Research Facilities! Here at this prestigious lab we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries!
Of course, this is all very hush-hush. C&A may be your run-of-the-mill facility to the public, but in reality, is researching the unknown and learning every day, from the occult to manmade horrors!
And who better to run the program than an omnipotent Godlike set of Dentures with a crazy cast of monsters he can run all sorts of tests on?
BOUNDARIES:
Any story plans?
I'm not sure yet, I don't have much time to create comics or animatics like I'd like to, but I do have a few rough story ideas.
Any boundaries?
None really, go crazy! I am OK with gore, NSFW, angst, violence, etc, just be sure it is tagged/TW'd appropriately as not everyone is OK with that content.
Can we create fanart/fics/content? Can we dub or fancam?
Yes of course!! Please tag me, I'd love to see all of it! I'm tracking the tag #TADC Monster Labs AU for other's content
Is NSFW allowed?
Yes, so long as it's marked appropriately I'd very much love to see!
Can I ship the characters, self-ships, or OC x Canon?
Yes ship away! Just be aware the only au-canon ships are Caine/Pomni, Ragatha/Pomni, and Gangle/Zooble.
Can we make OCs?
Go on ahead!
Here is a blank version of the intro card if you'd like as well as a PSD file!

The hoarded asks answers be likeskskksk I don't even know why I didn't respond to this
Gay monkeys are doing fine like you can see through last posts, te G!Mac have indeed glorious bathrobe. Did I ever show you guys his second design? Yes? No? Idk, have it either way
are u talking about one of my fav sagas
Yes I've had my fair share of listening to it , I looove it , I want to do animatics so bad but motivation for those is so low sksmskk
(Underworld my beloved)
and to thunder saga too, (I steal the Scylla song alr, it's my oc vs every monkey here alr-)
It's so unfair that Mr. Jalapeno create a saga after saga n they are better every time
Quick, Merlin is trending! I'm using it as an excuse to ask you to share a merlin doodle or old sketch or WIP :) anything as silly as you want to celebrate this random day :)
Oooh thank you for the ask mossmx! Here's a little animation test for a merthur animatic/edit I'm working on. No idea if and when I'll finish it but the idea for it has been floating around in my head for weeks now <3
For those of you wondering where I've been or the relative radio silence from me, well, this is why. I'm pouring practically every spare moment I have into this thing, and right now my deadline is November 22nd.
Why November 22nd? Well, isn't it obvious? I'm working on an animatic starring my very favorite star-crossed lovers, Elphaba and Fiyero!
In a completely not-relevant-at-all-tangent, anyone here familiar at all with Krita? I've been uploading test videos to Youtube and the sound always cuts out at the last 4-ish seconds of the video. It plays just fine in Krita itself but when I upload to Youtube, those last few seconds of sound mysteriously vanish.
Well, I hope to figure it out. Stay tuned! So far, I'm super thrilled with my progress and how it's turning out! I hope you all enjoy it!
Now that the live stream has concluded 45 minutes ago, and The Wisdom Saga is now live on Spotify, I spent some of my time to listen to the songs again (without headphones, I know I might've missed a few hints on the instruments and arrangements.)
So for now, here's my notes for this Saga (musically and story wise):
Legendary
The youthful touch of this song is just what this saga needs. MICO as Telemachus was a wonderful choice. His voice bounces within the song, and he sounds similar to Jorge's so it's like... He is his dad's son.
Story wise? It laid down a clear picture of what's happened 7 years later. His need to be stronger to protect his mother safe, especially that Ody's away.
It sounds like it's wishful thinking in a song.
Little Wolf
Oh my god, my anger in this song. I was scowling the whole time. Jorge is so good at painting a picture in the song. The taunting in the song, the way they challenge Telemachus.
I love how this songs sounds like a video game soundtrack, like Tekken (and the way the animatic looked like Tekken). Athena's entrance? Amazing. Telemachus being a geeky kid? AMAZING! He's such a kid, I love it!
I love Athena so much!!!
We'll Be Fine
Teagen's voice? Angelic! I thought her very best song was My Goodbye, but she really topped it with this one. I loved how she and Telemachus' sang Odysseus' melody in Warrior of The Mind. It's a wonderful touch that shows they're both longing for the same person.
The way MICO sounds so youthful??? He sounds so geeky and a teenager who's so excited about something. It's adorable!
Ody and Telemachus really see Athena as a friend. It's so touching.
Love In Paradise
This is the song I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR (along with God Games). One thing I love: the flashbacks. Jorge really did a great job with the placement and tied every saga perfectly. I literally had chills when she finally saw what happened in Thunder Bringer.
Calypso. Calypso, my darling. Her voice is just so pure, so summery. She gave me summer vibes, seriously. It's kinda reminds me of TWICE's Alcohol Free, for real. Oh my god.
We've heard clips of this song before, and now that they recorded this song again, they sound so mature and clear. Oh god, I love this song so much!
Odysseus really be losing his mind. He was really losing it. Athena is the only one who can save her, and the way he screamed Athena's name. Oh my god, it broke me so hard!!
God Games
Luke Holt's voice... That's it. He sounds so big and scary. I love how his voice digs deep, the growls, it's even better than Thunder Bringer.
I was so excited about Apollo's voice. I did imagine him to sound a little cute, kinda like Yuuji in the English dub lol! So adorable! The little harp melody!! Uggh!!
HEPHAESTUS!!! okay, okay, the way he sang "Trust is not given not forged" was in the tune of Scylla and Mutiny ("I will not let you get into my way"), and it's UGGHH because that's the part where TRUST was tested. Oh my god JORGE!!!!
Aphrodite and Ares, my little sweethearts! Ngl, the animatic between Aphro and Athena was... Ughhhh!! I love Ares, I'VE ALWAYS LOVED ARES! Their voices fit them so well!! Athena fighting back to Ares for badmouthing Telemachus??? Holy shit.
Hera is so groovy!!!! So so groovy!!! I can imagine her throne room as a little dance floor!! And Zeus!!! Oh my god, Luke Holt!!! LUKE HOLT!!! PLEASE!!! STOP I'M OBSESSED!!!!
And Athena, oh my god. I wanna hug her. Her voice when she sang "let him go, please." Oh God, it's hurting me so bad. The animatic really didn't help because I was bawling!!!!
In conclusion, Jorge you smart and amazing person! You are creating a masterpiece!!!! This will be so big on stage, I can't wait till that happens!!!!
I have to go to work but here's the current state of my animatic. Not sure the 360 PAK animation will stay here, but I know there's another part of the song it goes to. But adding it right now just as a test.
Project Malevolent: Animated is a passion project I've started with the goal of animating Malevolent scenes as if it were a Nickelodeon or Adult Swim mini-series
Everything I know about animation I've taught myself in the past few weeks- that's why everything is very simplistic. This isn't affiliated with the official publishing team or anything, only a personal project. I'll explain my plans moving forward with this below

I've always wanted to learn how to animate but never knew how to get started, and this is a perfect opportunity for me. I love this show so much and want to give back through a creative outlet. I need to mention that since I'm a student I can't guarantee a definite schedule or anything, and there's always a possibility that I'll have to abandon it. I hope to create something cool and maybe even animate a whole episode someday if I can even get there...
Here are a few examples of how I would want the finished product to look, when polished up
These are my two installments to this project so far, both made to test the artstyle I'm going for and toy with visual effects:
Dark World Animatic Benevolent Christmas Special Animatic
Animation is not my forte… I'm an illustrator and comic artist, so this is miles from what I'm used to and I'm pretty much flying by the seat of my pants. Still I'm having fun and learning so much
So that's where I am right now. Thank you for the support and positivity, I didn't expect so much :O There are plenty of artists here with waayyy more experience animating than me so if you have any constructive criticism please please please tell me, I always want to learn and improve
Rules: in a new post, post the names of all the files in your wip folder regardless of how non descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet and tell us about it!
🌻🌺 ok we're both doing this 😁 a lot of the wips are pretty old, and we've got some animatics stored in here too :)
I've been meaning to make myself a patreon for years now and is finally here!
Now you might be wondering "Diana, what are you gonna post there?" Honestly? Not anything that you won't eventually see here, so why should you hop on the patreon train and support me?
Well first of: you are supporting me and you'll get all my love and eternal gratitude!
Not enough for you?
Well, you'll also get to see a lot of my process when doing comics, illustrations and animatics!
I have 2 tiers right now, if you sign up for the Weekly Screenshots you'll get sneak peeks of whatever I'm working on, things that might get posted soon and some things that will stay in my PC for longer, but hey! You get too see them first!
There's also the Comic Early Access! For early access to my comics (no shit Sherlock) if you sign up for this you'll get to see full pages in different stages of being done, speed draws of my process and the full final pages a week before anyone else does!
And there is a soon-to-come Animation tier (I just want to test myself of how much I can get done to post first) where I'll share storyboards and different versions of the animatics and animations as I work through them. Meanwhile I'll be posting some screenshots on the first tier!
"Does this mean you are no longer posting comics on Tumblr?"
OF COURSE NOT!
If you can't afford patreon or just don't want to, you'll still get to see everything for free once I'm done! Just... at a slower pace
