The Magnus Protocol is finally out!! so many new characters to fall in love with! before tragedy rips them all away again 😭 So Gwen and Alice seem to get along GREAT.
@@bubasvabaa Somewhere else, sure, married, perhaps, with a cat, why not, together one way or another for sure... In a world that they passed the Fears along to. They didn't leave those behind, lest you forget. They were pulled through the opening with them to whatever other world they were passed on to. A world full of people who didn't used to have the Fears lurking on the edges of their world and now they do. "Hypothetical" people, the others said, who they couldn't take responsibility for. But you know Jon didn't agree with them. You know he would look at those people on the street and on the train and know there's nothing hypothetical about it, those are people, real people, and all he and the others ended up doing was passing all of that fear and trauma and guilt onto them. You know he would think about that, he'd never stop thinking about that. Maybe it'd get better with time. Maybe. And of course he and Martin have each other still. But...I dunno, dude. DO you think he's happy? Living with this for the rest of his life? And whatever else happens with the Fears still around. Then again, we don't know exactly what happened to him and Martin after that final tape recorder click. Maybe they're not dealing with this while having to otherwise go about life. Maybe they didn't go through in a form where they can. Maybe they're trapped inside a computer. A modified Windows NT 4.0 in another place for organizing info on paranormal junk. Reduced to nothing but disembodied voices still reading off statements, still spreading the Fears, with less choice about it than ever. To these people who don't know a darned thing about any of it, not even how to work this old-timey computer that these voices randomly come out of for reasons they also don't know. Another mystery. Or, maybe they just died. Reunited with Tim and Sasha in the afterlife, if there is one. Who's to say.
I don't know why but for some reason I have been picturing Alice with an ironic beehive but I think I like this version better so it will probably supplant the previous one in my mind. I had Gwen with short hair because no nonsense I'm going to get this done types tend to do the short hair because long hair is a pain in the ass, but you know honestly Gwen works real well here too.
Oh my god I absolutely love your designs for them! And I love how early everyone's dynamics have been established, I would die for them but they're already in a horror series, and we know how that's gonna go...
Both of the faces and expressions are so perfect! In German, there's this expression of having your "face balled into a fist", and you perfectly get across the taut, tight anger of that in Gwen's face. Its smallness, with the slightly shoved forth lower jaw and the strictly pulled back hair tells of so much... constant defiance and pride. And it really communicates this idea that Gwen doesn't tolerate *anything* in her way, not even some bangs or loose strands of hair! And Alice, oh God Alice! Absolutely divine how expressive you made her face, and how many little shifts and changes you included! It really brings out her comparatively lively and chaotic energy! I also adore how you subtley contrast the shapes of their features btw, with Alice's big, slightly softer facial shape and Gwens pointy chin and angled edges! My favorite is how you managed to inject this moment of absolute spite and revenge with warmth though. It really comes across that this Alice isn't deeply malicious or anything. She's a goofball and Gwen is just an irresistible bear when it comes to poking. It's hard to authentically get that warmth across, but you make her smiles reach her eyes so well. I look at this face and instantly want to be friends with her, just to watch her talk sometimes!
Your animation truly is inspiring, I wish I had the patience to sit down and try to make an animatic like this, but alas I don’t. One thing I will do though, is start the podcast so I can understand these awesome animatics lol
When Alice said "real" and starts leaning back forward the first time I watched this (I've now had it loop several times because this is glorious), I just broke into the giggles; it's a perfect capturing of Alice
My fucking god, you guys have genuinely traumatized Apollo with those number guessing questions in the wheel, whenever it comes up he's so deathly afraid he's gonna overshoot
Love it. Could you please put this scene from episode 10 on your list? Cracks me up when I hear it. Spoilers The bit where Alice saves Sam from falling down in a whole and she says: “What was that? Because it sounded a lot like, “I’m sorry, Alice, you were right. We should head back now before I get myself killed falling into a soggy pit. Gosh you’re sexy, here’s a twenty for your trouble.””
I AM TELLING YOU ALICE GIVE ME DISTORTION VIBE!!!!!..... 😮😮😮. I am not happy that I can see it I love ALICE so much, but I remember loving Helen so much aswel.
It is weird how many girls work at this place compared to the Archives (just from a cast balance standpoint), Sam and the IT guy seem to be the only guys working there.
