everyone who reblogs this by–let’s say–July 31st will get a character based off their blog!
They’ll include basic bios and physical descriptions at the very least, and I will be doing at least one or two a day until they are all finished. (And if I’m really digging them I may even give them a deeper backstory or *gasp* put them in a short story!!)
Only ten days left to reblog this before I start writing these! I’d love to create as many diverse characters as possible so feel free to pass this around!
Today, I finally watched “the End of the Galaxy”. It was a very cool episode, I loved it. And then, I learned that it was the last episode of Wander over Yonder.
Since the day I saw the first episode, WoY became my favorite cartoon. I liked everything about this show. I can’t really put into words how sad I am to know that I’ll never see another new adventure of my favorite space heroes again.
I don’t know if the future will give us any new episode or season. Anyways, thanks to all the talented people who worked on this series. You did a beautiful job (and you really made me laugh).
Anonymous asked: no rush on it or anything I was just curious if you had an idea when you'll be able to post the next part of that osomatsu san comic? :O it's rly goood aaa
well I updated the last two on Sunday evenings and one a week seems decent considering they’re 10 pages so… optimistically I will guess this next sunday at the same time! but if not I apologise- many eggs one basket you know the deal
leonawriter asked: Just so you know, your DD alternate ending comic has made me, for the first time maybe, able to actually APPRECIATE the character of Bobby Fulbright as we see him. I'd never been able to before. Not really.
That is one of the most gratifying things to read, thank you!
For Pearl’s song “It’s Over isn’t it?” the scene is about Pearl accepting a loss. As the series has progressed, she’s learned that she isn’t always right, and that there are things about herself that she’s has to reevaluate. This all comes to a sort of climax in this scene where she accepts and admits out loud that her relationship with Rose was never as deep and complete as she wanted it to be or told herself it was. This is where she’s left at the end of the scene, feeling lost and out of place.
In the outline written by Ben Levine and Matt Burnett, this is how the scene looked:
You’ll notice a lot of things ended up changing compared to the final version. Most of that was due to time constraints. When we started storyboarding the episode, all of the rough demos of the songs were recorded so that we had an idea of the amount of time we had between each song (which ended up not being very much). The result was that we had to basically be transitioning constantly between songs, but doing it in a way that felt natural and as gentle as possible.
In addition, Rebecca remembered a part from the 1982 movie “Victor Victoria” starring Julie Andrews that she wanted to use as reference for the feeling of the scene:
Right away we latched onto this spinning 360 degree camera move. I loved the energy and focus it gave to the character and I immediately roughed out a version with Pearl.
If you’re ever stuck during a scene this is what you do: Don’t start from the beginning, find the moment you see clearest in your mind and build out from there. From these rough thumbnails I built the rest of the scene outward. I brought back motifs like her sword skills and her dance style to help evoke the past events of the series, and I tried to give as much time as I could to each shot and make her acting as expressive a possible.
Below are my rough boards set to Rebecca’s demo. At the end, i added a pause for when she throws the Rose into the air. It felt like a good spot for things to crescendo ring out. Deedee Magno Hall’s rendering of this blew us all away when we heard it.
From there clean up was pretty much straight forward. The scene didn’t change much except for tweaking her acting here and there. I’m super proud of how this scene turned out, hats off to Nick DeMayo our animation director and to the team at Sunimin in Korea where they draw the entire episode on paper:
French privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830
Conclusion: an adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.
modmad asked: Just to let you know that I am stupendously ready for the new Ducktales cartoon and finding out that you are working on it is just the icing on the cake- this show couldn't be in better hands. Very excited to annoy all my followers into watching it too! Carl Barks forever!
