Hey Indie Animation fans and Union Yaoi fans!

Do you remember the #StandWithAnimation campaign including the PSAs done by Jellybox and The Animation Guild (and the pool of delightful fanart that followed)?

Well, they wanna make up to 12 more minute long shorts and they’re raising money to do that through KICKSTARTER!

Kickstarter

Umbert Actually! - The Animated Series

Help Jellybox fund more shorts featuring Umbert Actually, everyone's favorite animated know-it-all!

These now canonically married UPA unionizers plan to talk about different industries such as anime, gaming, the history of animation, and beyond!

Go check it out, get some sick rewards if you’re able, and help support an indie project!

Okay, doodle request:

Reigen meeting Serizawa before Claw got to him. Maybe helping him start leaving his room?

I had a lot of fun with this one. I wanted it to parallel the scene of Serizawa meeting Suzuki, and so pages 6-8 are directly referenced from the manga (just in a flipped format so it reads left to right like the rest of the pages) and I also referenced some shots from the anime (like the final panel of page 10). For the dialogue in those middle pages, I referenced lines from the unofficial English translation of the manga, the official English translation of the manga, and the anime. (I was picking and choosing which lines I liked better). I also had fun with the colouring, which is something I love to do in comics especially. It starts out with Reigen in a muted, paler, desaturated palette with no highlights. But when he meets Mrs. Serizawa (I gave the name “Azumi” because it means something along the lines of “safe home/harbour”), she’s much more warmer and saturated and she has highlights. Once she starts explaining her son’s situation, that’s when Reigen has the variation of colour as well as the introduction of some small highlights. Then, the colour palette changes in every panel after that point. Serizawa is done with a grayscale palette, with the only colour on him being the bright light of the TV screen (reflecting video games as his only joy and his escape from reality). As Reigen talks to him, Reigen slowly start to lose some of that variety and saturation (AKA hope) he got from Mrs. Serizawa until he goes grayscale as well when he thinks that Serizawa might know he’s a fraud. He decides to switch up his approach and actually open up, which is what causes the variations in colour to return. Serizawa stops being grayscale in the panel where Reigen reveals that he too is lonely. (He’s a gray-blue palette, but it’s not true grayscale). The next page is in bright colours as Reigen opens up and doesn’t lie, which causes Serizawa to have bright colour as well, since now there is light and hope. In the page after that, Serizawa’s colour fades until he is grayscale again because it’s him not believing fully and still having doubts, while Reigen maintains that bright colour. (Also silly Falsettos reference on that page). I have Reigen’s colours shift from yellow until he reaches pink which is the colour I just have assigned as His Colour (since his tie is pink). Serizawa gains colour again and he shifts from that muted dark blue to finally orange (which is his colour) as he finally accepts Reigen’s help. The light from the TV is no longer coloured, and is just white, because Serizawa now has a new source of colour in his life (that being a real friend.) It ends with them being in their normal palettes at a normal happy saturation, contrasting the muted colours of the start of the comic. With the umbrella, I still wanted to include it and give it a role in the story, but in a different way from how Suzuki used it. While Suzuki used it to directly manipulate and control Serizawa, Reigen used it as a way to open up a choice for Serizawa to either let Reigen stay or make him leave. He asks Serizawa if he can sit and stay for a while since it’s raining outside and he didn’t bring an umbrella, despite clearly having done so. And then I ended the comic with a shot of the umbrella to emphasize that point.

Sorry for the long and probably unnecessary explanation. I just really love explaining my intentions and symbolisms in my art. Yeah I just had a good time over the last few days doing this :) I thought it was an interesting idea and I couldn’t think of a way to reflect it better than in a comic (which was also partially inspired by this wonderful Ageswap AU comic made by @fend13th about Reigen helping Serizawa)

i was listening to Trust Ceremony by Jhariah and it reminded me of stanley and the narrator, or just tsp in general

now i kind of want to animate it, by i can't animate 😔

ema skye my beloved

How do I tell everyone in the ace attorney courtroom that every single one of them is stupid and there are at least 5 contradictions in every piece of evidence I have right now basically. Lile why does bro have a necklace on in one photo and then not in any taken after he's dead. (A two second theory was that phoenix "strangling him" was actually phoenix taking the necklace idk.) Also if it's so cold why is phoenix wearing slides. And if them both wearing hats because of said temperature is so important to state, why is only phoenix's hat actually warm. Shadi's isn't doing ANYTHING to keep him warm. And his shirt being so open can't be doing anything there either. ALSO THE BOTTLE WITH PHOENIX'S PRINTS ON IT HAS A LID AND THE ONE IN THE PHOTOS OF THE CRIME SCENE DOESN'T. AM I DELUSIONAL. AM I OVER THINKING. PLEASE SEND HELP FOR MY SANITY, KRISTOPH MAY NOT HAVE RUINED MY GOOD MOOD BUT SPENDING OVER HALD AN HOUR CROSS EXAMING OLGA ORLY SURE HAS

HE'S GOT HEE'S GOT AWAAAAYYYYYYYYY‼️🥀🥀😞🙏😢😭

I literally had to learn how to draw these two just to make this😭😭😭

If they ever make any more little videos for TSP, like maybe to celebrate anniversaries or whatever idk, I feel like Crows Crows Crows should do the "having sus Google searches on the Narrator's computer" thing again, have him have AO3 pulled up with "The Narrator/Stanley (The Stanley Parable)" clearly visible, I want them to make us go fucking haywire
