    Any questions regarding how I made this animatic? Reply here! I’m making a progress video after the fact. Please reserve this just for questions. It helps me organize :P. Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoyed!
    Oh, and first or whatever.

      Okay I’m about two years late, but I’m impressed by how you were eagle to pose this character and give them clear gestures despite not having arms! How were you able to accomplish this?

    • @Cowsaresushi
      @Cowsaresushi  4 года назад +2

      @@Boom23648 | Ah, the challenges of drawing Count Bleck. I actually sketch out his arms while doing the gestures, and then just draw in the gloves (or at least, imagine where the arms are. i don't remember anymore tbh. it's been a while. I don't do sketch in his arms anymore. At this point, I just draw in hands. :x). I also use pretty expressive hand gestures, so you can read him a bit more easily. Additionally, and probably most importantly, I gave him pretty long "glove sleeves" (the bits of fabric that extend off of the hand portion of the glove), so it'll give the implied illusion of his arms, and where they would be. That's a useful trick for no armed characters :V.
      And thank you :D.

    "There's still time! You can still stop the prophecy from destroying everything!
    Yeah because if that's really her...if she's alive, you have to stop all this!"
    -
    "You know not what you are saying Nastasia.
    The prophecy can no longer be stopped by Count Bleck.
    No one can stop it."
    This scene...
    He wasn't that, he was a good man at heart.

    • @Cowsaresushi
      @Cowsaresushi  7 лет назад +20

      Honestly, I was tempted to make an animatic of EVERY MUSICAL NUMBER from the Count of Monte Cristo, but then I realized it would probably take me 3-5 years (unless I make the rest look like total garbage, which I just wouldn't even bother). If there was a community effort to do that, then that would be DOPE. Be super cool.

    Lyrics:
    I've seen a thousand wonders
    I've lived a hundred lifetimes
    But not until this moment
    Have miracles seemed real
    As fleeting as a shadow
    The time goes by unnoticed
    The hate that drove me forward
    Is gone and I am face to face with...
    The man I used to be
    Dreams I dared to dream
    When love was all
    The innocence of youth
    Like memories of truth return
    To learn forgiveness
    The man I used to be
    Cannot be outrun
    Our past still lives
    Whatever else I've done
    Forever in his eyes, he'll see
    The man that I used to be
    And all the years will melt away
    And lights will fall much softer now
    For all the pain is gone
    Hope is what moves on
    I will be there
    As near as her next prayer
    As merciful as sweet redemption
    Once blind, now I see
    Once a slave and free
    Give me a star
    To home would guide my heart
    To resurrect a part of me
    The man who I used to be

    Now this. THIS is incredible. I haven't found many if any super paper mario animatics in forever. I remember first seeing this years ago but I couldn't remember the name- I'm I glad I found this again. You're a talented artist, and this animation really proves it. If you ever plan to make any more animatics for the channel, or have the will to, I'd love to be there and see it.

    • @Cowsaresushi
      @Cowsaresushi  2 года назад +2

      Thank you so much for this very kind comment. I'm so glad you found and enjoyed my lil ol animatic!
      I do have plans in making animatics in the future, for I have about 3 in the pipeline. However, I'm currently slogging through quite a few long term things that makes me unable to produce more for quite a while, as well as a webcomic, so more in the future, and I plan to make them better (also original), but not any time soon :V

    Is it wrong that this made me cry? I don't know maybe the art with a mix of personal childhood nostalgia for Super paper Mario. And just how pretty it looks! I do have a question though, I'm thinking of trying to make animations sometime in the future, do you have any advice for how to make a clean animatic? Thank you for offering to answer questions!

    • @Cowsaresushi
      @Cowsaresushi  7 лет назад +10

      Sorry this took me so long to reply, but I was just so stupid flattered. No, it's not wrong. I'm really glad that I made the animatic well enough to evoke that feeling! I'm really glad you enjoyed it and it tickled that feeling of nostalgia! Super Paper Mario is just a magnificent game and I had to do it justice.
      I'll keep your question in mind, and I'll try to answer it as best I can in my process video! I'm still learning, and I still have no idea what I'm doing, but hopefully something right. Until then, since I don't know when I'll get to it, I suggest you make a small paper booklet for each animation you plan, and label them as such, that ways you can plan and think while you're away from your computer. Use that for the roughs, and then do a more elegant animatic on the computer based on your thoughts that you put in the pamphlet. There's more stuff, but I'll get to that in the other video :D Thanks you so much!

The way Bleck looks, his movements, the backgrounds, I LOVE IT. This voice really fits him so well and this is great beyond words. I love SPM, it fuels my Chaotic Heart. Thank you for this gem of a masterpiece.

    But seriously, some people here in the comments already said that and I agree: the facial expression are just !!!!! sooooo great! I like how they are a little over the top, dramatic, but somewhat comical. I think that fits Bleck well, the way he talks and all. He's very dramatic, but also comical sometimes (with the whole talking in third person thing and whatnot)
    Thank you for making this xD

    Your choice of song for this is also outstanding, and I feel it really fit’s Bleck’s character.

      Thank you! Unfortunately, this is the final product. I have little to no experience in animating, and I'm currently working on new projects. I generally don't revisit old projects. The newer projects I'm working on will be a tossup between less frames with prettier visuals and more frames (more animated, but still not quite fluid...probably *shrug*) but less detailed (no colors, shading, etc). Hope you enjoy any new projects I make!
