scroll to bottom for description/summary of the animatic
A general vent about my struggle with chronic illness, frustration with it, and how it can feel very isolating at times, like no one truly understands me. Sometimes I just wish things were easier cause it makes everything so goddamn difficult. Usually my vents about this are more angry than sad but this was still fitting for how I feel sometimes. It's like giving up, then trying again, then struggling immensely, then giving up, and the cycle continues. At least I try right? Ngl a part of me is cringing at this just because I don't usually like to express the sadder side of this cause it feels more vulnerable, but I figured other people might relate to this as well and I'm also really proud of how the animatic turned out ngl.
Thank you so much to everything that supported me while making my webcomic and just me as an artist in general, it's been super hard to get here and I'm really glad that people enjoy my content.
Song: Waiting on a Miracle from Encanto
always felt like this song really fit for people with disabilities, so i had the idea in my head for a while
Time Taken: about 5 days of actually working on it
Programs used: Toonsquid (ipad)
Animatic Explained:
The gold wolves/canines with wings represent the able bodied assumption in society, doctors that didn't listen to me, people that didn't listen to me in general or didn't take me seriously/failed to accomodate my disability.
The big cliff that my character is looking up at is basically my idea of "success" or fitting into society better, reaching independence from others.
The other characters can make it to the top because they have wings, but my characters' wings have been torn off, so they have to find another way up.
The big blue wolf/canine at the top of the cliff that my character confronts represents my negative thoughts/mental health issues/anxiety, something i sometimes blame for my physical health issues, and that's why my character is hostile towards them.
The red prickly vines on my character's legs represent my chronic pain, and the blindfold over their eyes briefly shown at 2:29 represents my impaired vision problems.

"Am I too late for a miracle?" No... I could never put myself in your shoes, I can never understand what you've gone through. But to have lived for as long as you have, to have kept going in spite of it all - that is a miracle in itself.

It really hit me in the feels when Indigo started climbing the mountain, you could really see the desperation and the struggle. You did such a great job with building up to an emotional climax! But also sending so much love to you. As Ballister from Nimona said, “I see you, and you are not alone”

As someone who also has impaired vision, this song nearly brought me to tears the first time I heard it.

I don't have any disabilities but this just hits so hard for me. So much stuff that most people take for granted (being able bodied, neurotypical, etc) is stuff that others don't have. Sometimes it leads individuals to struggle to fit in with everyone else when what makes them different is completely out of their control.

Looking outside at all the abled people when you can’t leave your room honestly hit me hard. I don’t have a lot of friends and outside of my sister none of them are disabled. You really captured the feeling wel.

@wildcreepss Год назад

I understand how hard life is for us that have disabilities. Its an endless cycle or trying then giving up. I know how hard it is each day. I'm always here to listen & talk 💕💕

@mushroomsupremacy2091 Год назад

Broo.... this animatic is crazy good on its own, but reading that you have impaired vision problems??? holy shit, incredible job.

@Lion_Thunder Год назад

I hope your feeling better btw it’s amazing!

My friend, this I s truly a work of art. I wish you nothing but the best in any future projects you take on. Always remember you are strong & you are special in so many ways.

As someone who has an unnamed chronic illness, I felt this so much. Literally cried. It’s so isolating, especially when either nobody cares enough to find out WHATS wrong with you, or when they think you’re using it as an excuse. This is beautiful, you’re so talented, thank you for sharing it

@katsu-chi1105 Год назад

This animatic is truly touching ❤ I sincerely hope it’ll get better, or at least less painful You are a amazing artist ❤ and I am sure, a great person

@rudyrayzz Год назад

Wow, this animatic made me tear up a bit. Your style and the emotion you put into your work is incredible, and as someone with severe chronic pain who was recently diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease as well this really just hits so hard. Sending love, we’ve got this ❤

I found this and it perfectly encapsulates how it feels to have a chronic illness and disability. This hit hard for me. And aside from that, your drawing is amazing. I have no words.

This popped back up in my recommended's, and this is way underrated. It's also kinda hitting me hard as someone who's struggling with accepting disability in my life - finally looking for roundabouts instead of trying to just "push through" like I've always been told and wanted. If I were able, there are so many things I'd want to do, but I'm at the point where I have to decide if any of my wants outweigh my needs/can coexist with my needs. It's been really hard accepting that I'm never going to be able to do even half of what I want to do in life, and I STILL have people telling me that I just have to "push through" and "force myself" to do it anyway - even though that's what I've been trying for 10 years and it just is. not. possible. People HATE hearing that you actually cannot do something.

TW: a bit of a vent myself (Just ignore if you're not interested in reading ranty type stuff) This song really hits home for me, as someone who struggles to learn much in school and focus in general. I believe I've probably had some sort of undiagnosed disassociation for a few years and maybe ADHD, It's gotten worse since an accident earlier this year. I can't make friends very well and I don't think I'll be able to drive when I'm older because I can't pay attention to anything. It's really messed my life quite a bit, along with a multitude of other things I can't get properly looked at because I can't afford to, but I guess that's just life. Anyways, regardless I hope you're doing ok-er!

@spinnenpfotedonnerclan5318 Год назад

Very lovely video! I love your anatomy and faces, they're just... WOW! And tbh as someone with a chronic illness which isolated me from everything since covid, it's very relateable. But even before it really feels like everyone is just getting further with their goals and lives and you yourself are just this sad and sick isolated little... person? Wolf? Cat? (My OC is a cat lol). I like how the angelic beings are clueless and not really looking at her, it resonates with me with everyone just going on with their lives and that no one truly knows how you feel like (except maybe ppl with the same illness). Other than that it would probably feel wrong to fill such a video with nothing but despair because people like us ARE just going on and on and have hobbies and happy moments and little victories - I do consider myself a rather optimistic person but also someone whose haply mood is crushed easily and then... I'm very stubborn again so there I am relating with your video again! (About wanting to and eventually climbing the mountain). Ah Idk I'm just so in love with your golden angelic wolves because that's the ideal way how everyone's lives look to me when they're not burdened by an illness. But despite all this and the rather sad ending, the animatic still feels very hopeful and it's nice knowing I'm not alone with my feelings, especially in a time of feeling bad from medical complications. I wish you the best and hope there's SOMETHING that gets better for you ❤ Take care! Can't wait for your next work!

For the person who created this, you are a gifted person! Also don’t lose hope for God sees your struggles and He will get you through this. You and any person who reads this! God loves you and He will get you through your struggles. He can heal you and he shall, don’t lose hope. I love you my friend. ❤

I've been rewatching this so much! As of late 8ve experienced my own chronic pain a lot worse (broke my lower back so now it hurts all the time even year's later). This video really hit to heart and I'm glad to know I'm not alone in my pain even if ours are different.

@Indigoisaspookyghost 10 месяцев назад

This deeply touched me. I struggle with chronic illness and disability, and it perfectly encapsulated what I’ve been feeling but I’ve been unable to put it into words. Thank you. (Unrelated but it’s kinda neat that we both use indigo as our online name (maybe real name in your case, unsure) and struggle with chronic illness- my sona is a purple dragon with headphones, though)

@Indigo_Splash 10 месяцев назад

aw im so glad this could touch you! Though I am very sorry for your struggle, wishing you the best

@Indigoisaspookyghost 10 месяцев назад

@@Indigo_SplashThank you! The same to you, I wish you the best. I don’t meet many others with chronic illness, so it’s nice(?) to see I’m not alone. (Ikr! I actually know another indigo who uses a semi-purple dragon as their sona- it’s so funny. I tried Indigo as my irl name for a while- a couple of people know me as that still- but eventually decided I liked my real name.

@Indigo_Splash 10 месяцев назад

@@Indigoisaspookyghost Yea, neither do I. The solidarity can be nice as it's really easy to feel misunderstood when you have a chronic condition.

I've been waiting for a miracle too - have had cancer for 15 years. Have had many other miracles before and after my diagnosis. But there is no greater miracle than being born again in Jesus' Name! Eternal Life in the Spirit is more valuable than the cure to a temporary ailment ≽ܫ≼ "Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies." ~Romans 8:23
