I've finished another animatic!!! I've been working on this one for a little over a year now, and I'm so happy with how it turned out!
Here's the YouTube link for anyone that wants to watch it over there :)
This one follows the story of @antnutella-blog's and my dnd characters. Their lore will be under the cut <3
Characters:
Dragonborn - Sybil (she/any)
Aarakocra - Wetherby (she/her)
Half orc - Valscez "Val" (he/him)
Tiefling - Nyx (he/him)
Story:
Sybil was a pirate sailing the seas and terrorizing the Lucidian Ocean alongside her partner, Wetherby. She loved living out on the open waters, but she was at odds with their captain, Covell the Fierce, growing frustrated enough with him to attempt a mutiny against him. But even with Wetherby's aid, the mutiny was unsuccessful. In a panic, Sybil managed to escape, but in turn she abandoned Wetherby at the wrath of Covell. Feeling guilty but having survived, Sybil decided to run, leaving her seafaring life—and Wetherby—behind.
Val and Nyx grew up in Shadycreek Run together. Childhood friends to lovers, their hearts were in good places, but their circumstances led them to a life of crime. Nyx joined the Myriad, and Val tagged along as his bodyguard. It was all cut short when Nyx was allegedly killed. Having no reason to stay with the Myriad any longer, Val left to become a paladin of Bahamut.
The two met on their journeys across the continent, meeting new friends and eventually becoming a true adventuring party.
While they travelled, Tiamat came to Val with an offering to bring Nyx back from the dead, and Sybil discovered that Wetherby was still alive. Though it went against everything Val stood for, he accepted Tiamat's offer. The party followed these leads back westward across Wildemount with Wetherby as their guide, and they found Nyx in Nicodranas, working as a sailor. It turned out that Nyx had faked his death and started a new life away from the Myriad, but not wanting to get involved with a betrayer god, he rejected Val when they initially reunited. In turn, Val severed his connection with Tiamat and started to reconcile.
Meanwhile, Sybil and Wetherby slowly reconnected, enjoying each other's company while Sybil tried to forgive herself for all her mistakes. However, when they all ended up on the same ship heading to Darktow, it was revealed that Wetherby had been leading them into a trap. She briefly took Nyx hostage while an enemy ship approached, and slit his throat when he tried to fight back. Sybil made a quick and painful decision to take Wetherby out, but it was already too late for Nyx.
AU where Lucas can travel to Ness's (?) Magicant (Similar as Ninten travels to Maria's Magicant)
Anyway, lore (With bad redaction 'cause bad English)
Ness
After the souls of the chosen four leaves they're metallic bodies, the souls of the kids ended up just floating in time, lost with no opportunity to return to they're original bodies, (for some reason) Ness wakes up in his own Magicant again, feeling confused and lonely, but at the end he decided that stays there was his only option. Thousands of years passes and Ness became the king of his own little world, but it's been ages so he forgot some stuff, in that including his friends, the other three chosen kids became a mystery for Ness, he doesn't remember they're faces or voices, he remember he saved the world and didn't to it alone, but with who...?
Lucas
At one time, the little blond boy hear a young female voice calling for him, he and his companions followed this mysterious voice and ended finding a weird carrot shaped rock, confusing but voices came from it Lucas uses his telepathy to listen to them much better, Lucas heard the voice of a little kid, and then everything became nothing but just confusion to eventually wake up in a colorful bizarre world. (To not making this thing too long) Lucas meets Ness in his palace, Ness acting really excited because is the first time they got visitors in... Well, the all time. Ness asked Lucas If he can help him to remember his old friends, the ones he can't remember almost at all, soo now Lucas has to help this little silly fella to remember the friends the forgot, basically.
ok but do you guys think the curse of dethklok is like... what? something that's been there during the boys' entire lives? like, ever since they were young? or is it something they started experiencing once they Became dethklok? is the curse the prophecy?? what exactly was the prophecy??? help????
also (and i'm sorry if i'm asking questions that aotd already answered): do you guys think dethklok have powers themselves? or is it not theirs and instead it's just something that the Doomstar lends them and thus only happens on specific times? (example: when they kill the metal masked assassin and when they banish salacia)
me personally i love the idea of dethklok being pretty much Destined to be together, therefore they all have little attrocities happen to them throughout their lives but then it just makes sense when they become a band and realize that the other guys Also were surrounded by tragedy. like "oh, maybe i wasn't cursed bc these guys also have had horrible shit happen to them!" kinda thing. but that's just me.
and yeah i also gotta admit that i personally love the idea of dethklok having powers themselves and not as something lend by the doomstar. idk, i really enjoy the premise of a bunch of stupid, messed up men having godlike power and: having no idea of what to do with them. better yet, not even being Aware of them. like Murderface miraculosly surviving a horrible accident during religionklok, Pickles being straight up inmune to substances that would pretty much kill anyone else, etc. it's cute that in aotd's ending dethklok and the fans all share the power but i still rather think that it is the band that is special. the band is its own deity.dand they all together are a god or something at least close to one.
finally got around to making a ref sheet/character turnaround for Sybil!! she's supposed to have scars but I didn't end up drawing any of them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
it's also my first time making a character turnaround and I think I did pretty good!! even if it's only the 180 :) I'm gonna work on making more of these for my other OCs so I can join artfight next year
Requiem! What was it like going from an Eevee to an Espeon? Did you change from friendship or a Sun Shard? Is it a change you liked/wanted, and did you ever maybe want to be another type of eeveelution?
Requiem: I think if I had to pick a different evolution, I'd like to be a sylveon.
