#the fucking stick figures

[syn4k]

seriously though, Alan Becker's Animator vs. Animation series is fucking legendary and for good reason. don't let the fact that all the characters are stick figures delude you into thinking it's a joke. AvA and its spinoff series, AvM (Animation vs. Minecraft) are both well written, complex stories with well-rounded characters and complex arcs that take themselves completely seriously and are also masterclasses in 2d and later 3d animation.

both series include original soundtracks mainly composed by Scott Buckley and they now have a full team of professional animators working on them, even though the project was started by just one guy (Alan). despite having zero lines of dialogue, they clearly and masterfully characterize every single character that's involved by depicting their body language and actions alone. there is love and dedication poured into all of these projects and it shines through in every second of playtime.

also, these feature some of the most jaw dropping choreography and visual effects in fight scenes that ive ever seen in 2d animation ever. the one in AvA s2 alone is higher quality than most fight scenes in almost all modern professionally made movies, in my opinion. alan and his team consistently push the boundaries of what can be done with animation both visually and conceptually and they never fucking miss. like ever. this shit goes so hard

in conclusion: just trust me on this one

taking the 155cm measurement and very messily applying it to a height chart + taking a screenshot of TSC and the mouse cursor side by side from Alan's latest Actual Short, we can thus place the cursor at around 37 centimeters, 14 inches, or 1 foot 2 inches. i would Also measure this against a 3m tall Minecraft block from the AvM series but i don't feel like doing that right now. this is what i do with my time instead of doing my math homework

ALSO, peer reviewing @sea-of-souls1100's tags here:

yeah.

adding onto THAT, as i mentioned over on discord, it is so insanely in character that blue's reaction to being arrested is being all nervous and going like "oh no D: we've been arrested!!" and red's is like "HELL YEAH WE'VE BEEN ARRESTED!!! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS! FUCK DA POLICE :D hey, cheer up Blue! say cheese! :DD"

which makes sense because alan made these characters and as such knows them better than anyone else. but i digress

Ok several things to talk about here ,,,

1. Turnip boy is Enorme

2. Their GOVERNMENT NAMES are their HEXADECIMAL CODES?????????

3. IT’S THE FUCKING BARBIE MEME?!?!?! (you know the one.)

4. Heights .

Ok so . Neither of them are standing in the right position (feet together, standing straight) BUT ima going to estimate that they are both about 155cm. That is almost exactly 5’1. ALL OF THE STICK FIGURES ARE CANONICALLY 5’1. CONFIRMED!!!!

man I love overanalyzing things <333333

learned blender to make a 3d remaster of a poster i made a year ago. this was my first time ever using the program. the minecraft models were originally made in blockbench then imported; i fixed like 3 minor details in procreate after the render was finished.

total time spent on this project: girl i do not even want to fucking think about it. i have no idea. all i know is that i blacked out on friday and came back to this like 30mins ago

image resolution: 3840x2160p (4K ultra HD)

time spent rendering: ~25mins

im not touching this goddamn fucking program for another month at least.

you should really go watch AvM

I know that Clover's gender is up to interpretation (the devs DID say so themselves) but I still feel weird when people make them exclusively male or female LOL Like it's TECHNICALLY fine??? but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

more in tags as usual because I am a yapper. i am so sorry for having strong opinions about gender and representation. i am usually more fun than this 🥲🥲🥲🥲
