It's dark Arthur, pull out your lighter.
(practically I know john is best portrayed as a normal hooded guy with a mask but deep down my heart of hearts still belongs to mergo's wet nurse)
Haha I've got a whole minute (out of 11) of this Part 47 animatic!!! It's not much, and idk when I even finish it, but I just wanted to post this c: Animating Yorick yapping was my favourite part ^^
ch 3 is up, sorry John but you gotta learn somehow π€·ββοΈΒ
HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS CLIP
I was bored so I made a thing
First stab at a Proper Animaticβ’! Is it any good? Who knows! The point is I FINISHED IT. Anyway, Kayne is my favorite Malevolent guy, love how expressive he sounds, and I wanted to draw some faces. Then, because I entirely lack restraint, I failed at narrowing down which section to try to animatic at. So I threw up my hands and committed to attacking the entire scene. All 5+ minutes of it.

This is my version of episode 159 from The Magnus Archives. Thank you to the friends who cheered me on though the project, the cool folks who hung out with me on twitch, and my awesome sister who is too scared to finish the podcast but will listen to me talk about it for hours on end.
And, of course, thank you to Jonny Sims, Alex Newall, Alasdair Stuart and and the rest of the crew and cast behind TMA (I'm so looking forward to the Magnus Protocol!)
I love animation, I love storyboarding, I love the Magnus Archives.

hello!! I am super scared of sending asks even if they're positive so apologies if this comes out weird :)
FOR WHAT YOU ARE HAS CONSUMED MY ENTIRE BRAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WRITE THEM SO SO SO WELL !!!!!!!!!!!
neurodivergent John means the world to me!!!! also I am a proud fish owner myself (his name is Wilson. he is blue and surprisingly old), and quite frankly I would die for lilly
anyway I stay up 'til three am every Friday (partly) so I can read the new chapter <3 (patiently waiting for chapter 16 hehe)
AAAHHHHHH?!?!?!? IVE NEVER GOTTEN AN ASK BEFORE?!?!?!?! THIS IS SO MONUMENTAL FOR ME?!?!?!?!?!?!
oh my god thank you SO MUCH for your kind words, this has totally made my day !!!!! i am SO THANKFUL thay you feel seen through ND john-- i had a lot of reservations of giving him that label when i started posting because i'm not ND myself and i was nervous about doing it justice.... so WOW thank you <3333
ALSO RISE UP FISH NATION tell your fish i said hello πππ i think there's something very special about johns character, this 7 foot 300 lbs scary mother fucker loving his silly lil goldfish, where lilly really acts like a microcosm for the power of perspective ? like, yes lilly in reality has absolutely no conception of love or memory but John BELIEVES that she does and therefore she is an endless source of joy for him. that's really powerful to me <3
thank you again holy hell i didn't mean to write a novel i'm just super thrilled heehee hope you enjoyed ch16!!!
πππ πππ πππ
AAAHHHHHHH LOOK AT THESE COLORS !!!!! LOOK AT THESE PANTS !!!!! LOOK AT THEIR LIL EXPRESSIONS !!!! πππ πππ I LOVE THEMMMMM
