It all started when I finally made up my mind to learn how to do animatic. I took a lot of wrong turns in the process, but I still forced myself to see it through until the bitter end.
This video is an animatic for the Royal Sisters, and the song is Glitter by Daisy the Great, a very good daily-recommendation song. So I did an animatic for it.
It is the story of the 1000 Years of Exile, but instead of the tame canonical version, I prefer my fanon of psycho version. I also added many of my headcanon into the animatic.
Although there are many scenes where Nightmare Moon and Luna appear at the same time, they are meant to be two sides of the same pony. I did not mean to show Nightmare Moon as an external demon that seduced Luna into darkness.
Finally, I hope everyone enjoys watching it. I hope everyone will forgive any shortcoming in my first animatic. Don’t go comment about ponies under the original song, thank you!
Thank you everyone but I am too lazy to finish the “to be continued” part!!! I want to start something new TT
The second animatic, according to my original plan, would be mainly from Celestia’s perspective to discover the traces of Luna’s self-struggle and pain, as shown in this video (for example: plants that have withered and died due to lack of sunlight, the golden crown that’s hidden away, scratches on the mirror/specifically as serious wear and tear, etc.)
I would still use this song, but a slowed down version. The general idea is that Celestia would also be like “I paint my face with glitter(ing tears) in the morning light” as the 1000 years of separation went on, so it is like a very short reprise to this video!!!
But… I want to draw something new now, so I don’t want to draw the sequel. So I just posted the general idea and thoughts. My art style has changed quite a lot and it feels like the animatic is a bit stylistically disconnected. Thank you for the of everyone who likes my work… I will work harder lol
Great video~
