Actually gave Milanote a try earlier this month and it’s so much easier to put my ideas down there than in a google doc. The drag and drop is really nice too.
Watching the Apollo brainrot take June from “I love this silly man who adores his daughter and misses his wife he’s so babygirl” to *“my inspiration has been supercharged via this obsession and my art journey will never be the same. PRISM is SO BACK baybeee"* has been unreal. It’s been exciting and inspiring I don’t even have words. I can’t wait to see whats going to happen next.
20:20 Apollo hiding the fact that he’s powerless so his daughters don’t have to be forced onto the battle field is just- so heartbreaking. He lost his wife, and he’s NOT about to lose his daughters too.
not to mention if the wrong people learn the true source of the powers?? They might try to abduct or manipulate them for their own reasons, to try and have the power for themselves. It's much safer for him to be a front-man for his kiddos.
Kat tripped and fell flat on her face when allo and her first met. And then she tripped again falling down stairs. Kat was fine. Allo's perception of her was not
13:00 I think it'd be fun if the reason that there are more women than men as magical fighters is simply because there are magical girl shows in the Prism Universe and all those girls that wanted to become magical girls when they grew up just... actually became magical girls.
@@ActuallyRea i head-cannon that the boys typically end up with worse powers because little aloe thinks guys have the cooties and therefore gets worse impressions of them- (also the transformation outfits are still super frilly dress filled type magical girl outfits-)
@@wintertimesart2172 8:46 is the start of what appears to be ben's pages and seems to include some early concept for his battle fit as the first prism fighter. I don't think /everyone/ is gonna be forced into the frilly outfits when they transform
This might be a coincidence but I think it’s cute how Ben’s “magical girl” form looks kinda like a greninja! Nice little homage to his Nuzlocke origins ^^
I love the magical girl mixed with post apocalyptic/zombie (and undertone pokemon) base! This is going to be such an amazing anime/story someday i just know it!! >///<
I really hope you'll reveal the original plot line of the "classic" prism story if the story is being changed so drastically. I'm super excited for the new story but all the feelings I have towards the original plot feels unresolved now.
@@avapark9948 SECONDED, I am *LOVING* this new stuff/new direction but like… king, please… if you’re not using the old stuff can we have it? Just to look at? Pspspsps?…
They also used they/them pronouns when talking about Neneko and if I remember correctly Neneko used to use She/Her pronouns so that's obviously a hold over from Eimi
Apollo getting the full brunt of nepotism from the creator to essentially become the most important and beloved character in the PRISM universe did not go unnoticed June. As a fellow nepotistic writer who loves to give my favs the power of God and anime, we love to see it!! 😂❤👍🏽
I love the episodes of "Junes straps you to a chair and info dumps about their OCs", it's clear you got so much passion for your boys and it's great to see the process towards making the cool art instead of just the cool art.
I completely understand how hard it is to just reboot a story. My dearest project that has been taking over my life for SIX YEARS was just getting too complicated (it’s a space setting so no surprise there). The characters and the story outgrew the setting, it actually needed to be a space thing and not just a few planets!! So I let go of most of the characters and just agreed whit myself that my urge to make the main character a god has to be satisfied. The villain stayed but everyone else got swapped around oh so much. And it feels GREAT!!! I’m no longer bound to any sorts of rules!! It makes me so free. Heck, I made the story span YEARS. The mc grows form an angsty teen to a mother of two (I LOVE MY BABYSSS!!) and also a god :’3 So honestly, it was so SO worth it it’s crazy! It was ofc hard to let go but it was such a good choice!! (Btw, I LOVE THE UPDATE ON THE STORY OMG WE ARE SO SO SOOOO BAAAACCCCKKKK!!!!!!!)
Zombie communism is such a funny term but I do unironically love when a little community comes together to survive in an essentially post-apocalyptic setting. Dome will forever be my favourite PRISM reboot addition
So real! Also i quite enjoy how Apollo became a sort of leader that people trust because he needed to step up and help the community but he didn't want it. Idk if it will be a thing but i would assume that over the course of the story the community will have to learn to not only look up to one figure head to create solutions but that they should start engaging and helping each other so the entirety of the towns/Communitys problems are not on Apollos shoulders. Just fun learning to live in a commune things which i think could be really cool pff i love stories based on communities and people learning to live together through mutual aid
June, I’m going to say this to you, because you desperately need to hear it. Stop promising us when a video will come out, it only makes you overwhelmed, if it comes out it comes out, if it doesn’t don’t beat yourself up about it. You’re amazing and doing great!!
I think June really continued the trend of self indulgence they started with Apollo and I AM HERE FOR IT. Because what do you mean this is a magical girl/post apocalyptic world with creature concepts similar to Pokémon and neopets!!?? This is like all of June's creations and their interests wrapped into one huge project and I adore them for it! When I heard prism got a rework I was initially hesitant, having followed these characters since the first video. But seeing how passionate June is about this, and just how THEM the entire project screams, I can be nothing but happy about this project. I am so excited to see how it continues
there's something cute about how almost the entire cast are repurposed nostalgic characters. Apollo, Aloe, Lissy, Cynthia, and Ben were pokemon OC's, the original PRISM group were Toykyo mew mew characters, Kat's new name was taken from June's first webkinz so on. idk it's just really cute
17:32 oh this is VERY interesting for Apollo😭 it makes me feel more grounded as a character. That he didn’t want this leadership role, but did it because there was no other option. Sometimes you have to do things scared and I really REALLY love Apollo more because of this
I love seeing Sara specifically have those cartoony and exaggerated faces because it does help me remember that, despite the fact she’s literally fighting, she’s still a kid. Also reminds me of Miko from Glitch Techs which is the best character of an awesome series
I loved old prism a lot, but very excited to see things reworked now that Junes art and taste in storytelling has grown. Sometimes "kill your darlings" is also "fuse your darlings together so that the strongest aspects of them are still there, but with less bloat
Sometimes rewriting a story is like pruning a plant! It’s hard to cut off potential buds because you *really* want to see them bloom, but there comes a point where it’s just putting strain on the plant and needs to go.
@@random_dragon It's something creators say to others about being afraid to "kill" or literally kill a character. Often it happens with people who create for themselves and don't want to let go of a character to the detriment of it, other chraracters and the story they are part of but it can also be applied to large companies (looking at you Disney with Star Wars (Hot Take: we need a canon reboot where we remove Anakin. You cannot change my mind. He has such a strong mc syndrome he hinders every other character.))
The ‘dome’ idea reminds me of another magical girl comic, sleepless domain! It does a fantastic job at examining how taxing and dangerous being a magical girl would be while staying fairly ‘hopeful’ and not being particularly gritty, I’d highly recommend it! On another note, I know how hard it can be to reboot ocs even without the added pressure of an audience, so I commend you for that and am very, very excited to see where PRISM will take you, and get all the info on it’s next evolution!
I've been following the Prism crew since they were self inserts having fun on Neopets. it's exciting seeing them grow and evolve along with you as you learn things about yourself and what you find fun and interesting. congrats on finding your passion, and I'm excited to see where Prism goes in the future!
16:50 I just had a thought about this ( mainly just symbolism around Apollo’s name) First in Greek mythology Apollo is god of the sun ( amongst many other things) So there’s that connotation Second Apollo in this story literally gave the people their sun back - he built the freaking SUN! (like a god kinda) But he is also like the sun Because just we rely on our sun to give us light, provide warmth , allow plants to grow The city RELIES on him for all these things They look up to him (I guess this could be connected to how we look at the sun) I don’t know if this connection was on purpose BUT I LIVE for this If you couldn’t I love when symbolism and details tie in together lol
I am absolutely obsessed with the idea that kat somehow came off as extremely incompetent in aloe's first impression of her, so much so that she thought giving kat a prism with ANY amount of power would only be disastrous
15:19 I don't know but talking about something called "The Absence" whilst also having presumably a Prism fighter's face inked out seems almost eerie, as if the absence can do more then just starve those who enter it, if the absence was just pure darkness it'd be the polar opposite of the Prism's but since it was already established that it's also made of radiance this is just pure speculation but still a pretty interesting idea.
i love to see june seeming so much happier these past few years. i hope everything continues going well for them as they create whatever they want in the future
The way I understand "this character took root in my brain and then hijacked himself into a project" SO HARD. I recently did that with my newest OC, and he's broken me out of a 2 year long writer's block. The power of very sad man just trying to protect what he has left is VERY real.
I remember when the first Prism drawing dropped. I’ve always loved this particular group of your OCs and that still holds true now - seeing them in this new form, in your evolved art style, where you’re much happier with the concept, is amazing! You inspire me to develop my own magical girl OCs further. I’m so happy that you’re still having fun with Prism. I’m so excited for the next Prism video to come out It was also you who inspired me to start drawing in my sketchbook again. For a long time I felt frustrated with my own digital art, because it felt like I was always struggling to get something finished, or execute any sort of vision. Now I’ve taken a page out of your book and started doing fun sketches traditionally, not worrying about the product but rather having fun with the process. I feel like my art is actually going somewhere now, and I’m way way happier. Thank you for inspiring me in so many ways, and I hope you continue to live your truth
This is going to sound so strange without context, but thank you for making a dead wife story where the guy doesn't go on some weird vengeance/insanity arc in which they do everything their significant other would never wish for them to do. I have yearned for rational mourners and now before me I see a god given example. I thank you for this blessing.
I'm pretty sure Lucine was the strongest magical girl - she's the Cardcaptor Sakura looking silhouette in the scroll of magical girl silhouettes in the Yu animatic
Lucine was the president of og PRISM Corps. June posted a decent bit about her on the discord. She had three main colours, v powerful. And yeah, she was in Yu's animatic as another reply said
June talking about “If you’re an old enough fan to remember my first prism speedpaint”. I swear it hasn’t been that long omgg. ALSO it was so cool to see the Webkinz story that we were told about years ago! It felt like a little goodie for us older fans :)
Don't know if it's intentional, but Apollo is giving off vibes like the Powerpuff Girl's dad and it's so wholesome oml (Wasn't around for the og Prism, but I love how this story of yours is being set up, and the characters are so cool!)
Ive been watching you for 6 or so years now and I just have to say, both your and your characters’ evolution over the years is genuinely so inspiring 🫶 absolutely love your work
Watching this having followed June for years is really cool because of how viscerally tangibly born from all of their past interests and projects it is, I always feel like the best story's are ones that don't feel like they could have been made by anyone else and oh boy is that going to be true for Prism
In terms of art, i used to be a lot like you with a free approach to drawing without any care for mistakes and a cracked creative output with new art and new ideas like everyday. My mind still lingers to that time, but i havent drawn like that for four, now bordering five whole years since some life changing experiences that deeply affected my art Seeing your journey and the way you are in your lusamine video, apollo video, and now this one is something i cant believe and enjoy watching over and over. Its awe inspiring, you seem to run on a pure passion for creating and it reminds me of the way things used to be and could be again I want to be like you someday, and i love watching you do what you do! Thank you for sharing prism with us!
I've really enjoyed watching the Prism videos over the years and I'm loving the direction with the new plot/characters, especially with Apollo, his family, the magic system, and the world, and well...everything. I can't wait to see how the story evolves from here
the old story videos are some of my FAVOURITES and always make me feel so incredibly creative! i cannot wait to have more for my endless rewatching playlist!
first feeling was fear and dissappointment as a huge fan of the previous iteration of prism, but the more you talked about it the more and more excited I got to the point of goosebumps. i know this will be something so special with all the passion you bring to the project
*notices that Apollo's glasses are kind of like Elphaba's in the new Wicked movie* well they've been working on this character for long enough before the movie hype really kicked off, so chalk that up to a bit of convergent evolution. *Rae explains how Apollo is revered for his magical technology but his big secret is he can't use magic himself* huh, so he's kind of like how the Wizard is presented in Wicked -HEY WAIT A SECOND! Jokes aside, I'm glad you're feeling reinspired and are still having fun with this project. I look forward to seeing how Prism evolves again in the next five years.
I really appreciate how forthcoming you've been over the years about your journey writing this story, especially this video as it seems it has come out at the perfect time for me 😅 For YEARS I have been maladaptive daydreaming about little characters in my head, mostly from other shows, but most of them have blended together so much that they're just my OCs in skinsuits at this point, and many proper original characters have spawned in at random intervals as well. For a long time I was happy to just daydream about scenarios (to music ;D) and to only draw fanart as a hobby, but the more time passes the more it's been calling to me, urging me to create. When I was a kid/teenager I thought "it would be cool, but I'd never be able to", and then the thought process shifted into "I'd like to write/draw something that's as meaningful to others as some of my favorite shows/comics/games have been for me! But could I? And I realized at the beginning of the year that if I didn't really try to structure a story then I never will. Now it's nearly the end of year, and aside from the main character, some side characters and the setting I've got NOTHING. It keeps eluding me!! I don't even know what genre I wanna write in, or anything aside from the main theme that I don't even know if I'm equipped to explore anymore! My biggest problem as an aspiring writer is that I have no idea what story I want to tell. I can create characters all day long, and when I think about other people's characters in their show's settings I can create themes and alternate plotlines like no one's business (fanfiction, my beloved). And it's not like I don't have ideas! Every time I have a cool scene in my head I've written it down, I just don't know how to connect them yet. It's so frustrating, I want to do this so badly but it's hard to pin down. I have ADHD so I only get stuck on an idea for so long before it's boring to me. Just ugh.
I love these videos where June just rambles about their blorbos because their enthusiasm is just so damn contagious. Not only am I now very hyped to see more of Prism (I was already interested before, but now I'm INVESTED), it also makes me want to channel that excitement forward into my own work. The temptation to make a similar video where I ramble on about my wip webcomic is so real.
18:03 OMGGGG THIS IS SUCH GOOD ANGST so he’s just carrying out the legacy of his dead wife… AND PPL GET MAD AT HIM FOR IT. AND LOOK UP TO HIM BC OF IT. AND PUT A LOTTA PRESSURE ON HIM
This change of the old prism story is a significant change to others including me and you ofc and I am so sad to see it go 😭😭 but happy at the same time. And I know many may not like this story or many may who know but all I want you to know is that I and many others will support you, I love your videos so much and I am ecstatic to see how your favorite baby girl character and og prism story blend together to make this newer version of the prism story. ❤😆
Emi an Neno being fused makes a lot of sense with Kats close friendship with both from the original idea for the story. Im loving the uniforms and how it's so influenced by Apollo and Ben being the first fighterrrrrrr!!!!
Not me SCREAMING at the reboot!!! I LOVE THE NEW NAMES!!! REESE HAS MY SOUL! SARA IS TOO CLOSE TO ME AS A KID! RAAAAA we are SO back!!!!!!!! Also both prisms and absences being made of radiance? Mayhaps we have some madaoka magica influence??? ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE COMMUNISM?!!!?? HELL YEAHHHH
Apollo protecting his magic family!! Aaahhh, it’s so cute ;;;;u;;;; He loves his girls, the lights of his life ;;;u;;; I also love the idea that Aloe went behind Apollo’s back to give Sara a Prisim. I wonder if it’s “That’s my friend!” related or they were in an emergency and Sara was the only person there that Aloe could give a Prisim to to save them, but AAAAHHH
Im a big "kill your darlings" enjoyer, so as a returning viewer i FULLY support this 😍👍 I have rebooted my own projects maybe too many times but its fun
I’m not sure if this will remain or has already been changed, but I noticed that all the characters who have prisms have been given a new look/uniform. And honestly I’m really digging the white uniform look with their prisms incorporated on it! It does look more reminiscent of a military outfit while also looking fantastical, and it looks really cool! Honestly this new setting in general is just so intriguing and feels rich with possibilities, and I’m loving it!
I found your videos some time ago thanks to some of your collabs with other RUclipsrs, and I can remember seeing some of your earlier works for Prism and other things. And honestly....seeing how happy and passionate you've become about your projects and just creative work in general over the last few months has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to witness, so thank you for sharing that with us! I'm looking forward to seeing more of what this Prism reboot will bring, and your own openness about your thoughts and creative process, about how you're learning to embrace your mistakes and not marry yourself to your first idea, and how you're happy to share these things even if they never become a proper series just because you want these ideas to exist outside of your own head....I find that very inspiring on a personal level. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a great weekend!
AAAA IT‘S HERE!! I am so excited and curious about all the changes, the sneakpeaks have me longing for moreeeee.. I‘m sure this‘ll be a great video as always, thanks June and Crew!
Same here! I've been a fan ever since her animation meme days, so it'll be fun to see what she has in store! I loved seeing her grow as an artist and strive to be like her one day! Can't wait to see what see has to offer in the future!
i did not expect the solarpunk twist but i am SO here for it.... very excited about the series!!!:,)) it's great to see the story and art grow from all those years ago
Ooooo I LOVE when artists recycle old OCs into a whole new story! I can't wait to see where PRISM goes from here! Already loving some of the new concepts. ✨
Honestly, seeing you completely rework your story from scratch to fit with the artistic vision you've developed after a year of intense progress is some of the most inspiring stuff I've seen in a long time! Your infectious joy for creating and and willingness to roll with whatever ideas occur to you are so, so delightful to watch, even as an outsider. I've been following you since the original Prism concepts, but I feel more invested in this story now than I've ever been before. Your enthusiasm is only fueling better and more interesting concepts, and I can't wait to see where it takes your story. Some of my oldest and dearest OCs are from elementary school, but I've never done much with them because I've had no clear concept of where to take them. A full rework where I'm not married to any original concepts are kind of the exact thing I might be missing right now. Seeing an artist go through this whole process gets me pumped to try something similar! Maybe if I have the free time for it 😅😅😅
“Like, Shit, a pilot on its own is expensive as hell! What happens if I never make it to that point? I don’t want to risk dying with my ideas, I’d rather have fun with them now and if I get to do something official with it someday, cool! Maybe it’s like an extra layer of interest that I was so open about the creation process going into it, but this way, even if that never happens, I still get to have fun sharing my ideas with you guys. If all I’ll ever be is a OC artist RUclipsr, then I’m gonna be the happiest one out there.” DEEP STUFF THERE MAN! I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM! These words you have spoken have resonated with me ever since I had watched your video and….. Shit, man! You’ve awoken a fear in me that I didn’t know I had! You’re ABSOLUTELY right!
Apollo being something of a mentor figure with a really tragic past scratches all the itches for me personally, as a lover of 2012 tmnt and ninjago. Also this just makes the inspiration for my own ideas flow more. Keep up the great work!
Coming from someone who was really excited about the previous stuff established and hearing that it's not necessarily Canon anymore is very disappointing but coming from a writer myself I know there are sometimes plots and storylines and just things that you want to put in but you just don't have room or it doesn't necessarily fit the way you want it to so even though I'm a little sad I'm excited to see the new prism! (Also I can't believe the original redesign for prism characters is 5 years ago I feel so old😂)
I'm so used to watching June's videos while drawing that I had to watch this a second time to see the visuals lol. So glad I did, the lucimine animatic video got me back into sketchbooking and it's been so fun. I see how it sent June through a creative spiral.
I have always been absolutely engrossed with prism, and i am SO in love with this reboot honestly!!! Ive been watching this channel since before the first prism redesign and your art has always been my biggest inspiration. i cannot wait to see where prism goes and to meet the new versions of our troop lol
I love love LOVE seeing and hearing about your work on Prism. From the concept art to the world building, I'm always blown away. The one constant in all your Prism content is the overflowing amount of love you have for this project. No matter how much changes between each new draft, I will always be amazed and inspired by your work.
Hearing about your art process and story process has helped me SO MUCH when it comes to doing things- how your so reasonable and accepting over things you just can’t do and so determined to make things work AGHH ;-;
I’m so pleased to see your passion for Prism reignited by our lovely Apollo, I’m glad to see your new muse has given new life to the story, and frankly I think this is a much more concise direction you’re taking things so far, can’t wait to see more June!!!
unironically reboots like this are my favorite things ever Im willing to say that i have good ideas, im also willing to say that 95% of them are bad so starting from square one is hands down the most refreshing thing ever
i love sketchbook tours and just seeing peoples art!! buuuuuuut, i lose interest really quickly and just speed through the videos usually, BUT YOU! your pacing is perfect, I CAN ACTUALLY REMAIN FOCUSED FOR THE ENTIRE THING. Not only that, its also super interesting to hear you speak about both the good and the bad when creating art. Refreshing content. Even a monkey brain like me can follow along. Keep up the good work!!!
The way that after about 12 minutes you inspired me to revisit my babies from highschool and properly rework them is so crazy. You literally inspire people to be better artists (bard type shit)
you explaining why prism was hard to work on at 2:15 was actually really helpful. i have a passion project ive been working on for years and im realizing now just exactly why its been so hard for me to work on…. so thank you for sharing ur journey with us💖 it helps
I'm so happy to see you return to Prism!! You and specifically Prism has inspired me to do my own magical girl characters and story!! Thank you and I love your art!!
This video kinda made me cry, its nice to see someone suffering the same issues I didnt even realize were my major issues now being able to worl through them. Now that IK where my issues are, I can start working on my own development
I remember with one of my tweenhood characters, I named him gibberish that vaguely sounded like a Japanese name. As the story and cast expanded, he got two brothers. One with a very white name, one with another Japanese name (but at least it was the name of a character in a game). As I grew older, I realized that didn't make sense. Because those characters weren't supposed to be Japanese in the slightest. But I was attached to those names. So my solution was to make their mom a totally embarrassing level of weeb.
watching you for the past 5 or so years has been a pleasure!! im so happy to see you become so enamored by your own creation and i hope for the best for yourself and your studio!! im so excited for the day youre releasing the first episode

I love how Apollo has done irreparable damage to the prism lore/j
he is everything we could’ve wished for
The idea of Aloe just looking at Kat and immediately thinking "GOD this girl needs some friends" is just so funny to me
I just imagine Aloe taking one look at Kat, turn to her sisters and go "Who the f*** is this girl?"
THIS
Thats why aloe gave her a power that only works with friends
celestia when she saw twilight sparkle
Coming from the girl with virtually no friends makes that even funnier
Watching the Apollo brainrot take June from “I love this silly man who adores his daughter and misses his wife he’s so babygirl” to *“my inspiration has been supercharged via this obsession and my art journey will never be the same. PRISM is SO BACK baybeee"* has been unreal.
It’s been exciting and inspiring I don’t even have words. I can’t wait to see whats going to happen next.

20:20 Apollo hiding the fact that he’s powerless so his daughters don’t have to be forced onto the battle field is just- so heartbreaking. He lost his wife, and he’s NOT about to lose his daughters too.
HE LOVES HIS KIDS SO MUCH😭😭
I swear during that part I was like "PREACH"
not to mention if the wrong people learn the true source of the powers?? They might try to abduct or manipulate them for their own reasons, to try and have the power for themselves. It's much safer for him to be a front-man for his kiddos.
Kat tripped and fell flat on her face when allo and her first met. And then she tripped again falling down stairs. Kat was fine. Allo's perception of her was not
That was exactly what I was thinking-
🤣🤣🤣
My thought is that she tripped into something super important
Allo's really was like "damn this bitch can't do anything without serious help from others" and accidentally created the main character AJKSXNASCA
All it hought of when i read this was when Haruhi from Ouran Highschool Host Club bumped into the 8 million smth yen vase and broke it lmao
13:00 I think it'd be fun if the reason that there are more women than men as magical fighters is simply because there are magical girl shows in the Prism Universe and all those girls that wanted to become magical girls when they grew up just... actually became magical girls.
I like to think in my universe girls just like the job more
Cos why not

Yeah
in this case im gonna assume its gonna be in really late December and be pleasantly surprised if it happens earlier
This might be a coincidence but I think it’s cute how Ben’s “magical girl” form looks kinda like a greninja! Nice little homage to his Nuzlocke origins ^^
I meaen, there definitely IS a comment written on one of the pages that says “how greninja can we go with this?”
I love the magical girl mixed with post apocalyptic/zombie (and undertone pokemon) base! This is going to be such an amazing anime/story someday i just know it!! >///<

It’s Eimi and Neneko, isn’t it????
at 18:50 you can see that is clearly eimi's body type and hairstyle but with neneko's colors!! im so excited
OH MY GOOOOOD
Eimi is also the only character missing from the board in the ad segment and Neneko's portrait definitely has some of their characteristics!
Tbh looking back combining these two is really not that hard to see, at the very least design-wise where they have a lot of similarities
They also used they/them pronouns when talking about Neneko and if I remember correctly Neneko used to use She/Her pronouns so that's obviously a hold over from Eimi
Apollo getting the full brunt of nepotism from the creator to essentially become the most important and beloved character in the PRISM universe did not go unnoticed June.
As a fellow nepotistic writer who loves to give my favs the power of God and anime, we love to see it!! 😂❤👍🏽
I love the episodes of "Junes straps you to a chair and info dumps about their OCs", it's clear you got so much passion for your boys and it's great to see the process towards making the cool art instead of just the cool art.
I completely understand how hard it is to just reboot a story. My dearest project that has been taking over my life for SIX YEARS was just getting too complicated (it’s a space setting so no surprise there). The characters and the story outgrew the setting, it actually needed to be a space thing and not just a few planets!! So I let go of most of the characters and just agreed whit myself that my urge to make the main character a god has to be satisfied. The villain stayed but everyone else got swapped around oh so much. And it feels GREAT!!! I’m no longer bound to any sorts of rules!! It makes me so free. Heck, I made the story span YEARS. The mc grows form an angsty teen to a mother of two (I LOVE MY BABYSSS!!) and also a god :’3 So honestly, it was so SO worth it it’s crazy! It was ofc hard to let go but it was such a good choice!!
(Btw, I LOVE THE UPDATE ON THE STORY OMG WE ARE SO SO SOOOO BAAAACCCCKKKK!!!!!!!)
Yooooo that sounds so cool!!
Do you ever post about it anywhere?
@ I’m currently working on a RUclips video, all tough idk when it’ll be done cuz school n stuff :’3 (also THANK YOUUUU!!!!)
@@desklampchan I'm subscribing, so I can be ready when the video comes out!
@@random_dragon Me too! @desklampchan I can't wait!
Zombie communism is such a funny term but I do unironically love when a little community comes together to survive in an essentially post-apocalyptic setting. Dome will forever be my favourite PRISM reboot addition
RIGHT?? That's actually so cool I'm so excited
So real! Also i quite enjoy how Apollo became a sort of leader that people trust because he needed to step up and help the community but he didn't want it. Idk if it will be a thing but i would assume that over the course of the story the community will have to learn to not only look up to one figure head to create solutions but that they should start engaging and helping each other so the entirety of the towns/Communitys problems are not on Apollos shoulders. Just fun learning to live in a commune things which i think could be really cool pff i love stories based on communities and people learning to live together through mutual aid
Aloe meeting Kat: Meh. I guess she can a prism.
Aloe meeting Sara: You're cool. Want magical powers?
Also katsumi is kind of the ultimate power of friendship by her getting more colourfull therefore more powerfull through the more friends she got
Literal power of friendship! lmao
Can definitely relate to a ton of story coming from one powerful lil’ guy you’re obsessed with haha. Excited for more in the future! :>
omg what are you doing here 😮
HI STAR
Every time June uploads, an angel obtains another eyeball ring 🥰
Real
June, I’m going to say this to you, because you desperately need to hear it. Stop promising us when a video will come out, it only makes you overwhelmed, if it comes out it comes out, if it doesn’t don’t beat yourself up about it. You’re amazing and doing great!!
LOUDER BROSKI
I think June really continued the trend of self indulgence they started with Apollo and I AM HERE FOR IT. Because what do you mean this is a magical girl/post apocalyptic world with creature concepts similar to Pokémon and neopets!!?? This is like all of June's creations and their interests wrapped into one huge project and I adore them for it! When I heard prism got a rework I was initially hesitant, having followed these characters since the first video. But seeing how passionate June is about this, and just how THEM the entire project screams, I can be nothing but happy about this project. I am so excited to see how it continues
there's something cute about how almost the entire cast are repurposed nostalgic characters. Apollo, Aloe, Lissy, Cynthia, and Ben were pokemon OC's, the original PRISM group were Toykyo mew mew characters, Kat's new name was taken from June's first webkinz so on. idk it's just really cute
17:32 oh this is VERY interesting for Apollo😭 it makes me feel more grounded as a character. That he didn’t want this leadership role, but did it because there was no other option. Sometimes you have to do things scared and I really REALLY love Apollo more because of this
I love seeing Sara specifically have those cartoony and exaggerated faces because it does help me remember that, despite the fact she’s literally fighting, she’s still a kid.
Also reminds me of Miko from Glitch Techs which is the best character of an awesome series
11:06 "Low key in love with him but good luck with that dude lmao"
There it is, there's what I was looking for-
Zoey’s buck/gap teeth are absolutely precious I’m such a sucker for characters with either or both of those traits!
I loved old prism a lot, but very excited to see things reworked now that Junes art and taste in storytelling has grown.
Sometimes "kill your darlings" is also "fuse your darlings together so that the strongest aspects of them are still there, but with less bloat
Sometimes rewriting a story is like pruning a plant! It’s hard to cut off potential buds because you *really* want to see them bloom, but there comes a point where it’s just putting strain on the plant and needs to go.
What does "kill your darlings" mean? I know I've heard it somewhere, but forgot what it means
@@random_dragon It's something creators say to others about being afraid to "kill" or literally kill a character. Often it happens with people who create for themselves and don't want to let go of a character to the detriment of it, other chraracters and the story they are part of but it can also be applied to large companies (looking at you Disney with Star Wars (Hot Take: we need a canon reboot where we remove Anakin. You cannot change my mind. He has such a strong mc syndrome he hinders every other character.))
@@travy9454 The Star Wars thing is a very interesting idea, but oh, the Anakin/Hardcore SW girlies are gonna hate you for that
The ‘dome’ idea reminds me of another magical girl comic, sleepless domain! It does a fantastic job at examining how taxing and dangerous being a magical girl would be while staying fairly ‘hopeful’ and not being particularly gritty, I’d highly recommend it!
On another note, I know how hard it can be to reboot ocs even without the added pressure of an audience, so I commend you for that and am very, very excited to see where PRISM will take you, and get all the info on it’s next evolution!
Hell yeah love me some Sleepless Domain!
I've been following the Prism crew since they were self inserts having fun on Neopets. it's exciting seeing them grow and evolve along with you as you learn things about yourself and what you find fun and interesting. congrats on finding your passion, and I'm excited to see where Prism goes in the future!
Same, man! And I was a small child! Now I get to see them create their little Tokyo mewmew knock off into something serious in the future!
16:50
I just had a thought about this ( mainly just symbolism around Apollo’s name)
First in Greek mythology Apollo is god of the sun ( amongst many other things)
So there’s that connotation
Second Apollo in this story literally gave the people their sun back - he built the freaking SUN! (like a god kinda)
But he is also like the sun
Because just we rely on our sun to give us light, provide warmth , allow plants to grow
The city RELIES on him for all these things
They look up to him (I guess this could be connected to how we look at the sun)
I don’t know if this connection was on purpose BUT I LIVE for this
If you couldn’t I love when symbolism and details tie in together lol
ALSO!! apollo has a super famous lover, who died and left him devastated, called Hyacinthus! cinthus... Cynthia... Kynthia!
I am absolutely obsessed with the idea that kat somehow came off as extremely incompetent in aloe's first impression of her, so much so that she thought giving kat a prism with ANY amount of power would only be disastrous
15:19 I don't know but talking about something called "The Absence" whilst also having presumably a Prism fighter's face inked out seems almost eerie, as if the absence can do more then just starve those who enter it, if the absence was just pure darkness it'd be the polar opposite of the Prism's but since it was already established that it's also made of radiance this is just pure speculation but still a pretty interesting idea.
i love to see june seeming so much happier these past few years. i hope everything continues going well for them as they create whatever they want in the future
The way I understand "this character took root in my brain and then hijacked himself into a project" SO HARD. I recently did that with my newest OC, and he's broken me out of a 2 year long writer's block.
The power of very sad man just trying to protect what he has left is VERY real.
I remember when the first Prism drawing dropped. I’ve always loved this particular group of your OCs and that still holds true now - seeing them in this new form, in your evolved art style, where you’re much happier with the concept, is amazing! You inspire me to develop my own magical girl OCs further. I’m so happy that you’re still having fun with Prism. I’m so excited for the next Prism video to come out
It was also you who inspired me to start drawing in my sketchbook again. For a long time I felt frustrated with my own digital art, because it felt like I was always struggling to get something finished, or execute any sort of vision. Now I’ve taken a page out of your book and started doing fun sketches traditionally, not worrying about the product but rather having fun with the process. I feel like my art is actually going somewhere now, and I’m way way happier. Thank you for inspiring me in so many ways, and I hope you continue to live your truth
Katsumi being renamed after a neopet feels perfectly in line with this channel
This is going to sound so strange without context, but thank you for making a dead wife story where the guy doesn't go on some weird vengeance/insanity arc in which they do everything their significant other would never wish for them to do. I have yearned for rational mourners and now before me I see a god given example. I thank you for this blessing.
5:42 those crystals are the JUICIEST DARN DRAWINGS IVE EVER SEEN
We're so back
So real
21:17 ok time to look at the older draft to remember who that is as well as looking back at neneko
I genuinely have no clue who tf lucine is lmao
I'm pretty sure Lucine was the strongest magical girl - she's the Cardcaptor Sakura looking silhouette in the scroll of magical girl silhouettes in the Yu animatic
Lucine was the most OP magical girl with a whole 3 main colors iirc (yellow, red and blue)
Info abt lucine is only available on the wikis as far as i know
Lucine was the president of og PRISM Corps. June posted a decent bit about her on the discord. She had three main colours, v powerful. And yeah, she was in Yu's animatic as another reply said
Time to re-take all my notes on PRISM lore I spent 2 hours on..
Oof good luck brave soldier
Yeah, and f all of us who made unofficial OCs for the hell of it /hj
HAHAHA
@@eveepic0612 yup, were cooked
Bless Apollo's coming into being and taking every single thing by storm 🙏
We love seeing June being healthy and happy with their work!!!!
June talking about “If you’re an old enough fan to remember my first prism speedpaint”. I swear it hasn’t been that long omgg. ALSO it was so cool to see the Webkinz story that we were told about years ago! It felt like a little goodie for us older fans :)
Don't know if it's intentional, but Apollo is giving off vibes like the Powerpuff Girl's dad and it's so wholesome oml
(Wasn't around for the og Prism, but I love how this story of yours is being set up, and the characters are so cool!)
20:07 the "G-Girls!! help!" Is a very Professor Plutonium thing to say. Plus the three jumping into action.
Ive been watching you for 6 or so years now and I just have to say, both your and your characters’ evolution over the years is genuinely so inspiring 🫶 absolutely love your work
they added dudes to the prism corps absolutely massive w for the boys community 🔥💯
Watching this having followed June for years is really cool because of how viscerally tangibly born from all of their past interests and projects it is, I always feel like the best story's are ones that don't feel like they could have been made by anyone else and oh boy is that going to be true for Prism
In terms of art, i used to be a lot like you with a free approach to drawing without any care for mistakes and a cracked creative output with new art and new ideas like everyday. My mind still lingers to that time, but i havent drawn like that for four, now bordering five whole years since some life changing experiences that deeply affected my art
Seeing your journey and the way you are in your lusamine video, apollo video, and now this one is something i cant believe and enjoy watching over and over. Its awe inspiring, you seem to run on a pure passion for creating and it reminds me of the way things used to be and could be again
I want to be like you someday, and i love watching you do what you do! Thank you for sharing prism with us!
I've really enjoyed watching the Prism videos over the years and I'm loving the direction with the new plot/characters, especially with Apollo, his family, the magic system, and the world, and well...everything. I can't wait to see how the story evolves from here
the old story videos are some of my FAVOURITES and always make me feel so incredibly creative! i cannot wait to have more for my endless rewatching playlist!
first feeling was fear and dissappointment as a huge fan of the previous iteration of prism, but the more you talked about it the more and more excited I got to the point of goosebumps. i know this will be something so special with all the passion you bring to the project
Yayy! June straps me to a chair and info dumps to us abt their ocs!!
*notices that Apollo's glasses are kind of like Elphaba's in the new Wicked movie* well they've been working on this character for long enough before the movie hype really kicked off, so chalk that up to a bit of convergent evolution.
*Rae explains how Apollo is revered for his magical technology but his big secret is he can't use magic himself* huh, so he's kind of like how the Wizard is presented in Wicked -HEY WAIT A SECOND!
Jokes aside, I'm glad you're feeling reinspired and are still having fun with this project. I look forward to seeing how Prism evolves again in the next five years.
I really appreciate how forthcoming you've been over the years about your journey writing this story, especially this video as it seems it has come out at the perfect time for me 😅
For YEARS I have been maladaptive daydreaming about little characters in my head, mostly from other shows, but most of them have blended together so much that they're just my OCs in skinsuits at this point, and many proper original characters have spawned in at random intervals as well. For a long time I was happy to just daydream about scenarios (to music ;D) and to only draw fanart as a hobby, but the more time passes the more it's been calling to me, urging me to create.
When I was a kid/teenager I thought "it would be cool, but I'd never be able to", and then the thought process shifted into "I'd like to write/draw something that's as meaningful to others as some of my favorite shows/comics/games have been for me! But could I?
And I realized at the beginning of the year that if I didn't really try to structure a story then I never will. Now it's nearly the end of year, and aside from the main character, some side characters and the setting I've got NOTHING. It keeps eluding me!! I don't even know what genre I wanna write in, or anything aside from the main theme that I don't even know if I'm equipped to explore anymore!
My biggest problem as an aspiring writer is that I have no idea what story I want to tell. I can create characters all day long, and when I think about other people's characters in their show's settings I can create themes and alternate plotlines like no one's business (fanfiction, my beloved). And it's not like I don't have ideas! Every time I have a cool scene in my head I've written it down, I just don't know how to connect them yet.
It's so frustrating, I want to do this so badly but it's hard to pin down. I have ADHD so I only get stuck on an idea for so long before it's boring to me. Just ugh.
I love these videos where June just rambles about their blorbos because their enthusiasm is just so damn contagious. Not only am I now very hyped to see more of Prism (I was already interested before, but now I'm INVESTED), it also makes me want to channel that excitement forward into my own work. The temptation to make a similar video where I ramble on about my wip webcomic is so real.
18:03 OMGGGG THIS IS SUCH GOOD ANGST so he’s just carrying out the legacy of his dead wife… AND PPL GET MAD AT HIM FOR IT. AND LOOK UP TO HIM BC OF IT. AND PUT A LOTTA PRESSURE ON HIM
This change of the old prism story is a significant change to others including me and you ofc and I am so sad to see it go 😭😭 but happy at the same time. And I know many may not like this story or many may who know but all I want you to know is that I and many others will support you, I love your videos so much and I am ecstatic to see how your favorite baby girl character and og prism story blend together to make this newer version of the prism story. ❤😆
Emi an Neno being fused makes a lot of sense with Kats close friendship with both from the original idea for the story. Im loving the uniforms and how it's so influenced by Apollo and Ben being the first fighterrrrrrr!!!!
Not me SCREAMING at the reboot!!! I LOVE THE NEW NAMES!!! REESE HAS MY SOUL! SARA IS TOO CLOSE TO ME AS A KID! RAAAAA we are SO back!!!!!!!! Also both prisms and absences being made of radiance? Mayhaps we have some madaoka magica influence??? ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE COMMUNISM?!!!?? HELL YEAHHHH
Apollo protecting his magic family!! Aaahhh, it’s so cute ;;;;u;;;;
He loves his girls, the lights of his life ;;;u;;;
I also love the idea that Aloe went behind Apollo’s back to give Sara a Prisim. I wonder if it’s “That’s my friend!” related or they were in an emergency and Sara was the only person there that Aloe could give a Prisim to to save them, but AAAAHHH
Im a big "kill your darlings" enjoyer, so as a returning viewer i FULLY support this 😍👍
I have rebooted my own projects maybe too many times but its fun
I’m not sure if this will remain or has already been changed, but I noticed that all the characters who have prisms have been given a new look/uniform. And honestly I’m really digging the white uniform look with their prisms incorporated on it! It does look more reminiscent of a military outfit while also looking fantastical, and it looks really cool!
Honestly this new setting in general is just so intriguing and feels rich with possibilities, and I’m loving it!
I found your videos some time ago thanks to some of your collabs with other RUclipsrs, and I can remember seeing some of your earlier works for Prism and other things. And honestly....seeing how happy and passionate you've become about your projects and just creative work in general over the last few months has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to witness, so thank you for sharing that with us! I'm looking forward to seeing more of what this Prism reboot will bring, and your own openness about your thoughts and creative process, about how you're learning to embrace your mistakes and not marry yourself to your first idea, and how you're happy to share these things even if they never become a proper series just because you want these ideas to exist outside of your own head....I find that very inspiring on a personal level. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a great weekend!
AAAA IT‘S HERE!!
I am so excited and curious about all the changes, the sneakpeaks have me longing for moreeeee.. I‘m sure this‘ll be a great video as always, thanks June and Crew!
Same here! I've been a fan ever since her animation meme days, so it'll be fun to see what she has in store! I loved seeing her grow as an artist and strive to be like her one day! Can't wait to see what see has to offer in the future!
i did not expect the solarpunk twist but i am SO here for it.... very excited about the series!!!:,)) it's great to see the story and art grow from all those years ago
Ooooo I LOVE when artists recycle old OCs into a whole new story! I can't wait to see where PRISM goes from here! Already loving some of the new concepts. ✨
Honestly, seeing you completely rework your story from scratch to fit with the artistic vision you've developed after a year of intense progress is some of the most inspiring stuff I've seen in a long time! Your infectious joy for creating and and willingness to roll with whatever ideas occur to you are so, so delightful to watch, even as an outsider.
I've been following you since the original Prism concepts, but I feel more invested in this story now than I've ever been before. Your enthusiasm is only fueling better and more interesting concepts, and I can't wait to see where it takes your story.
Some of my oldest and dearest OCs are from elementary school, but I've never done much with them because I've had no clear concept of where to take them. A full rework where I'm not married to any original concepts are kind of the exact thing I might be missing right now. Seeing an artist go through this whole process gets me pumped to try something similar!
Maybe if I have the free time for it 😅😅😅
Apollo is a home wrecker... and he is an absolute queen while doing it!
“Like, Shit, a pilot on its own is expensive as hell! What happens if I never make it to that point? I don’t want to risk dying with my ideas, I’d rather have fun with them now and if I get to do something official with it someday, cool! Maybe it’s like an extra layer of interest that I was so open about the creation process going into it, but this way, even if that never happens, I still get to have fun sharing my ideas with you guys. If all I’ll ever be is a OC artist RUclipsr, then I’m gonna be the happiest one out there.”
DEEP STUFF THERE MAN! I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM! These words you have spoken have resonated with me ever since I had watched your video and….. Shit, man! You’ve awoken a fear in me that I didn’t know I had! You’re ABSOLUTELY right!
Big agree
Apollo being something of a mentor figure with a really tragic past scratches all the itches for me personally, as a lover of 2012 tmnt and ninjago. Also this just makes the inspiration for my own ideas flow more. Keep up the great work!
5:38 HOLY SH!T THE WAY YOU DREW THOSE GEMS!?!?!? I HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE PHRASE “I WANT TO EAT YOUR ART” UNTIL THIS VERY MOMENT
Can’t believe Apollo will be in my home with the sketchbook. How can life get better?
Coming from someone who was really excited about the previous stuff established and hearing that it's not necessarily Canon anymore is very disappointing but coming from a writer myself I know there are sometimes plots and storylines and just things that you want to put in but you just don't have room or it doesn't necessarily fit the way you want it to so even though I'm a little sad I'm excited to see the new prism! (Also I can't believe the original redesign for prism characters is 5 years ago I feel so old😂)
this apollo arc has now made me a subscriber and I intend on staying for a long time
I'm so used to watching June's videos while drawing that I had to watch this a second time to see the visuals lol. So glad I did, the lucimine animatic video got me back into sketchbooking and it's been so fun. I see how it sent June through a creative spiral.
I have always been absolutely engrossed with prism, and i am SO in love with this reboot honestly!!! Ive been watching this channel since before the first prism redesign and your art has always been my biggest inspiration. i cannot wait to see where prism goes and to meet the new versions of our troop lol
I love love LOVE seeing and hearing about your work on Prism. From the concept art to the world building, I'm always blown away. The one constant in all your Prism content is the overflowing amount of love you have for this project. No matter how much changes between each new draft, I will always be amazed and inspired by your work.
The new PRISM is super exciting!!! I really love how its coming along and how much you're enjoying it!
Hearing about your art process and story process has helped me SO MUCH when it comes to doing things- how your so reasonable and accepting over things you just can’t do and so determined to make things work AGHH ;-;
I’m so pleased to see your passion for Prism reignited by our lovely Apollo, I’m glad to see your new muse has given new life to the story, and frankly I think this is a much more concise direction you’re taking things so far, can’t wait to see more June!!!
We can all agree that this is gonna be fire right?
YEEEEES!!
unironically reboots like this are my favorite things ever
Im willing to say that i have good ideas, im also willing to say that 95% of them are bad
so starting from square one is hands down the most refreshing thing ever
i love sketchbook tours and just seeing peoples art!! buuuuuuut, i lose interest really quickly and just speed through the videos usually, BUT YOU! your pacing is perfect, I CAN ACTUALLY REMAIN FOCUSED FOR THE ENTIRE THING. Not only that, its also super interesting to hear you speak about both the good and the bad when creating art. Refreshing content. Even a monkey brain like me can follow along. Keep up the good work!!!
Apollo being responsable for the SUN is so unsubtle and I FUCKING LOVE IT.
The way that after about 12 minutes you inspired me to revisit my babies from highschool and properly rework them is so crazy. You literally inspire people to be better artists (bard type shit)
I LOVE THIS I have zero idea what the original thing was BUT THIS, THIS IS AWSOME INSTANT FOLLOW!! Can’t wait to see where this goes
Can't wait for when Lissy gives apollo some radiance animals to protect him.. essentially giving him pokemon. He has gone full circle
you explaining why prism was hard to work on at 2:15 was actually really helpful. i have a passion project ive been working on for years and im realizing now just exactly why its been so hard for me to work on…. so thank you for sharing ur journey with us💖 it helps
THE BABYGIRLIFICATION OF PRISM !!
I'm so happy to see you return to Prism!! You and specifically Prism has inspired me to do my own magical girl characters and story!! Thank you and I love your art!!
21:42 OMGGGGGGGG HYPE!!!!!
This video kinda made me cry, its nice to see someone suffering the same issues I didnt even realize were my major issues now being able to worl through them. Now that IK where my issues are, I can start working on my own development
I remember with one of my tweenhood characters, I named him gibberish that vaguely sounded like a Japanese name. As the story and cast expanded, he got two brothers. One with a very white name, one with another Japanese name (but at least it was the name of a character in a game).
As I grew older, I realized that didn't make sense. Because those characters weren't supposed to be Japanese in the slightest. But I was attached to those names. So my solution was to make their mom a totally embarrassing level of weeb.
I thought you were gonna say you changed their names to something else like June, but this solution it top tier
We definitely need more cringelord parents in fiction
watching you for the past 5 or so years has been a pleasure!! im so happy to see you become so enamored by your own creation and i hope for the best for yourself and your studio!! im so excited for the day youre releasing the first episode
