Another action storyboard piece, this time my favorite battle of campaign 2! (you can check out clickthrough boards here, if you want: meghowes.weebly.com/story-por... )
Caleb‘s expression during the cast just screams „so f***ing done with you, burn in hell.“ Also, this proves how devastating some spells can be in ship to ship combat. Fireball‘s aoe can cover a good part of a ship‘s deck, kill whoever is on it and set the Wood on Fire.
Having beau there was a excilent touch. it helped set the tone to how serious her mission was to get to the plank king. Nott staring at caleb and not the fire was well suited for their dynamic. Great job!
One of the things I really like about this is the way you layered actions from the guards, Caduceus, and archers on the Squall Eater into the time it took Caleb's Fireball to actually travel and hit, reflecting how much is actually happening simultaneously in a round of D&D and the chaos that the mechanics of the game tend to separate out for us. Made for great flow!
That transition between Caleb casting and Caduceus blocking the arrow with his shield? Delicious. Your artstyle? Incredible. This animatic? Immaculate.
This is absolutely amazing, I have been watching this on loop for like a week lol It's so smooth and the transitions between the different parts of the fight! And I love the art style, it's so simple and cute but so expressive! It reminds me of Hilda. I love this video so much
I could say so many things why this is an awesome piece of art, but all of the comments are already doing a good job. Thank you so much for sharing this work!
I am in love with this animatic oh my GOD! I love how you portrayed the effects of fireball - it's so violent in a way that really sells the damage it does. also the way you draw the nein in your style is so unique and cool, I love it
Ok I was listening to music when this played and it just went so well from start to start both at the same time. Disturbed - Stronger On Your Own. Wow.
