Legendary scrapped shots

these frames are both from the second chorus, in the seasons changing montage.

the first frame was for a shot in the "I'd fight the harpies and chymeras" verse, where we see Telemachus singing his lines to Argos as they walk through the palace during spring. I had already drawn a good portion of it before deciding that I didn't want to show Telemachus singing these verses.

And the second frame was for a shot in the "The minotaur even cerberus" verse, where Telem...

Legendary 2 year comparison!

idk why I would always pick the most depressing shades of colors back then lol

I might finish this animatic this week! I'm having such a good time working on it!

unused Legendary clip

this is actually pretty sad because this was one of the first scenes I envisioned for this song

basically in this scene, a random suitor gets a bit too rowdy and some guards come in to stop him. But I realized midway through animating it that it wouldn't make sense for this moment to be in the story

I would accidentally establish that guards are around to mediate these dangerous situations, which for the fight with Antinous to make sense happening would be kind of a problem.

WYFILWMA commission old sketches

I sent these to Jay when we were brainstorming the animatic :D

the first image are some sketches of Penelope when I was trying to get Anna's face right

the second and third are some concepts for how the flashes of Penelope waiting would look like. I experimented with a watercolor kind of vibe (very inspired by Arcane as you can tell), but it didn't feel really sad. Plus I wanted some more definition to these drawings so it would be easy to see them as they flash on the screen re...

(TW: Blood and violence) "Hey Fellas" animatic WIP

I'm not sure if I'll actually finish it because halfway through I realized that I'm actually a bit squeamish animating violence lol (like, non magical, punching and kicking violence)

I recorded myself punching my pillow to use as a reference and I actually felt kinda bad. Just for punching my pillow.

*really* old Megasix animatic!

this is from 2022, I just casually found it unlisted on my channel lol

I don't remember why was it hidden on my channel nor why I gave up on this animatic, but it's definitely very nostalgic

and it's so weird too, to watch an old animatic of mine without remembering anything about it, basically watching it blind. Is that what if feels like to watch a gigi animatic for the first time? :0

Hailey Daisy animatic commission WIP

Schaffrillas Productions had commissioned me to work on an animatic for this obscure musical called Venice! It's a wonderful (and very tragic) story, which I highly recommend checking out!

Problem is, there aren't any bootlegs and almost no official footage of the actual show online, so the best way to learn the story would be by reading the wikipedia page while listening to the soundtrack lmao. Here's the link if you're interested! 2025-03-16 16:53:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Legendary wip

legendary is the next epic song I wanna do btw

I'm not dedicating my full time to work on Legendary yet! This is just a little segment I did for fun between different animatic commissions I've been working on

the context is that I'd take the opportunity of the second chorus to make a very stylized dream sequence, where Telemachus is fighting these different monsters

I miiight be able to work on it better by june or july of this year though lmao

out of context god games frame

I have just started working on the Zeus meltdown! But also this is probably the part that'll take the most amount of work so I'm a bit scared to start animating this

good thing is, the flashback part of the song was actually the very first thing I did for this animatic, way back in September (and also the flashback is the main thing that kept me from giving up on this project), so I might actually be able to release it in this month!

the only parts missing is the Hera segment, the Zeus meltdown and the ending I can't wait to post this animatic man

Aphrodite then vs now (+update on God Games)

1 year of difference

also I'm back to working on God Games. I wasn't feeling 100% of the vibes in Dangerous and it is solely because I have some unfinished business with God Games, so yea. I can't start any new project until I finish this 5 minute long animatic (which at this point is closer to an animation tbh)

but it's looking really good so far! Like, it's definitely my animatic with the best art. I have finally reached the 2:30 mark, which means I am officially halfway throug...
