Pale White Horse | 3rd Life AU Animation 

The image: A breathtakingly beautiful and serene painting of a desert mountain The text: Trigger Warning: Blood, Death, and Violence The dichotomy of Life Series artwork personified.

THIS STUNNING OMG??? The lighting and the subtle movements are just SOOO impressive, I don't even know where to begin, this is just a pure masterpiece !!!

GOD DAMN, THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE.

Oh my goodness! Does that ending mean Grian still ends up jumping from Monopoly Mountain, causing Martyn to win 3rd Life? That's super interesting! Especially when you know Martyn was thinking of betraying Ren himself if it was just the two of them at the end. But having him get revenge for Ren by killing Grian when Martyn originally tried to get revenge by killing Scar for killing Ren in 3rd Life is a really cool parallel! This was wonderfully done! The colors truly stood out in this piece! Great job! :D

THIS IS AMAZING!! Your painting is wonderful, and the story itself is so good. the colors too???? lovely! but im insane over the end... with the grian and martyn hug with a stab wound in grian's back... then grian walking away and _apparently jumping off of the cliff that he does in 3rd???_ like. oh my god im going insane. he brought pain and sorrow to martyn in revenge for the loss of scar, and as such he gave martyn back the only thing he could... the victory.... they quite literally never left the desert, and martyn could never be rid of the crown...

HOLY CRAP I was breath taken from the very beginning! I let out an audible "Oh my god" of excitement when Grian glanced at Martyn and Scar's smile with a mirroring expression appeared. I LOVE IT. Him getting close with the dog warts people and then taking revenge omg!! I didn't expect to grow so attached to Grian and Martyn in this AU, lol. The little moments of Grian's wings, cloak, and Marty's band are awesome, stunning work! I'll be rewatching this one, the art work is inspiring and I adore this AU so much. Desert duo is everything to me

This gave me, actual chills. Three months paid off, absolutely incredible work.

Do you know how confused I was witnessing this for the first time not noticing AU in the title? Martyn handing the cloak to G, odd, oh the flashback to him and BigB eating cookies, makes sense, former allies and what not. He joined Dogwarts?? It only made sense after I read the description! I'm an idiot aren't I? XD Then I got to rewatch and truly get to witness the magestics of this animatic. Seriously, WOW, just WOW! The scenery, the angst, the "lost love" as Scar said in G's oddible podcast. You've done a tremendous job and I hope every single life member gets to watch this too because it is awesome!

Ok, so- i found this and was like, "Omg, this is amazing?" But i hadnt read the fic so i was so confused so I went and read it and came back and it is 10x better. But even without context i could read what was happening so well. You did an amazing job with this. ❤

This is absolute stunning!! Oh I don't have enough word to describe how gorgeous this is You nailed it!! I didn't expected Martyn to be the winner? at the end OH MAN THIS IS GOOD

WOW!!!! This is my absolute favourite life series animation. Everything about this is just beautiful, the way you use colours and lighting is just absolutely gorgeous, and I love designs for the medieval/fantasy-esque outfits that everyone is wearing. I could praise this masterpiece for hours!!

YOO THIS IS SO GOODD! The composition and colors are gorgeous, and your puppet animation is so good that it adds so much to all of this!! So much skill!

THE SWORDS. THE SWORDS !!!! 1:58 THEY'RE BLACK, ARE THEY *THE* NETHERITE SWORDS ??? DID MARTYN LOOT SCAR'S ????? HOW TRAGIC IS THAT !! ALSO !!!! 0:51 MARTYN USING A DOGWARTS FLAG AS A SUPPORT BLANKET !!!! AND GRIAN KEEPING IT FOR THE REST OF THE ANIMATIC !!!!!!!!! Omg, this. I am so normal about this. Not only did these details make me go insane but each scene is so BEAUTIFUL ! 3:16 This !! This frame specifically !! You can so clearly see how much love went into it, ahhh !!! I've only heard about this AU in passing before so viewing this as an introduction to it gave it SO MUCH JUSTICE, amazing ! In love ! The frame with Grian having got his revenge had me so excited too !! What splendid work !! :DDD

Outstanding, amazing, we love to see it! I got actual chills while watching it :0 also seeing Grian with dogwarts the only thing I was thinking was “they don’t know.. they don’t know..” like I was just sat there waiting for that betrayal. And the pay off was incredible

Oh my- this is amazing! I love your art style, the detail and fragility of the scenes. I don't yet know about the AU, but it sure made me cry. You're amazing!!

Oh my GOD I wish I had found this sooner!! I got huge chills when it switched from the timelapse to that first frame with Grian, and the whole rest of the video gasping and gawking at the absolute gorgeous artwork displayed here. The story telling was so clear and so impactful, I was hooked the entire time. God this is an amazing video. Fantastic work!

WHOA!! This is absolutely stunning! I love your art style - it really fits with the Oh Hellos' music and the Life series as well! The way you blend colors is so satisfying to look at and you do a lovely job with painting scenery! Your tweening is so smooth and satisfying to watch, as well - I especially love how you tween wings! Amazing job with this :D

The idea that martyn wins 3rd life opens up an au where grian wins limited life. Also amazing animation.

This is absolutely STUNNING. The backgrounds and the colors are so well done. This is amazing and just chilling. I got chills oh my gosh this is just amazing

I'm never going to be able to listen to this song the same way again, will I.

This is so stunning. You are an incredible artist and the amount of work that's gone into this is so evident. Phenomenally done. I can't wait to watch this over and over again and go increasingly more insane over it.

THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!

Gosh this is beautiful! The painting style and colours are absolutely stunning!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! In case you cant tell im freaking out. This is a masterpeice. Everything, from the coloring to the suble movements to one of my favorite songs (amazing music tatse btw) is absolutely phenomenal. This makes me want to be good at art. Absolutely knocked it out of the park, may you succeed in everything you do, and thank you for this gift of an animatic.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ILUFDJKSB I've been following the AU on Tumblr for a while, I'm pretty sure I've seen this animatic before but I didn't comment for whatever reason - it's INCREDIBLEE your art is some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen, the little movements work perfectly, the frames you chose go perfectly with the words ("it was a pale white horse...")... and the story is incredible basically AAA IT'S PERFECT (also that frame with the hand symbol on Martyn's cloak right after ren has died... aughhh (pos))

This AU and this ANIMATION have me so feral. Literally what the hell, this is one of the best animatics I’ve EVER watched!

HANDS DOWN THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!! I love this AU and to see it animated is GOLD AND YOUR ART STYLE AND ANIMATION SKILLS ARE AMAZING!!!!

Ohhhhh the art and animation of this are beautiful! I love the mostly still-fram style of it with things still moving and floating and swaying in the wind and so on, it's very pretty and cool :)

Wow, this was so good, like i am genuinely amazed by the work. You knew well when to make movements, the pacing, the use of color and character design. I loveeeeed it its incredible!!!!

oh my god, it's absolutely incredible, i love the small, slow movement of the way you animate and there's just something about the art style that i just love? it's probably one of my favorite art styles i've seen, and paired with the motions MUAH chef's kiss

OH MY GOD ITS GORGEOUS AND SO UNDERRATED

Your art is breathtaking! (And the AU from what I can see in the video is really cute, somehow- I like how Grian seems to be rewritten as this mute little birdboy, it's adorable. Never really been one for AUs before but they're sure a cool way to interact with stuff!)

THIS IS SO STUNNING HOLY SHIT

I CANNOT DO THIS RIGHT NOW THIS IS. SO GOOD,. ITS SO GOOD BRO

THIS IS SO AWESOME

THIS IS AMAZING HOLY HECK the art is so beautiful and the hug at the end of my god I love it

OMG?? YOUR ART STYLE IST SO GOOD?? AAAA I LOVE THIS SO MUCH- AND THE DETAILS ARE AMAZINGG- THE DESIGNS AND EXPRESSIONS ARE AMAZING !!

Ahh I can’t emotionally recover from this. DUDEEEE this is stunning

Absolutely beautiful coloring. You are so talented!

I have watched this multiple times now and I still can't get over how beautiful this is. First of all, the style is gorgeous, but the colours? I just cannot understand how you did this with the colours. The interplay of colouring and lighting is genius and beyond my comprehension. I am in love with those colours. Thank you for this piece of art, I will now try to work out how to do this colouring thing in my own drawings. Genius!

THIS IS AMAZING?????

God this is beautiful

Absolutely insane, what incredible talent you have. The colours are so soft and beautiful; this must have taken so, so long. I was trying to understand it as the canon events first, but when I read the description, I fell absolutely in love with your AU idea. Poor Martyn, caring for Grian when all he had in his heart was revenge.
