Storyboard & Thumbnails: 3 Cats and a Mouse (Old Version)
A little storyboard edition of #throwbackthursday: my storyboard & thumbnails for my animated short in my Fall 2021 beginner 2D animation class. I still include these thumbnails so that you can see my process. Planning on redoing this into a cleaner board/less timed animatic in Adobe Fresco with their vector brushes.
Edits
The only tweak so far: the cat names from their placeholder names (since the short doesn't mention their names). Originally: Felicity = Happy, Tristan = Sad, Damon = Mad.
Thumbnails Commentary
Composition-wise, there are mostly minor changes b/w thumbs & final boards. Key differences were the additional shots (cut for time) and different poses.
Self Critique/Notes
+ Liked how the off-beat but kind of endearing climax turned out; developing of surreal humor
+ Liked how Tristan’s character arc turned out (unconfident -> determined)
- Possibly remove Felicity
-- No need for her after the beginning of the story???
+ Possible springboard of exploring her in other works
- For the re-do: focus more on better expressions (possibly pull from thumbnails)

[Storm Bringer]
I found some of the thumbnails/storyboards I made way back when I first read SB and decided to clean them, enjoy :)
#laziest storyboard of all time it would need at least twice that amount of frames for proper timing but i don't have the patience for that#also hi the way i was taught to illustrate stories was through storyboarding and i think that shows when i do comics ksdjfhkjhggfhgfj#also most of the other scenes I did thumbnails of I already used in my previous SB illustrations#(chuuya getting flustered by the flags / dazai on the train / dazai yelling anything but that / a hand-me-down from dazai / etc.)#bsd#bungo stray dogs#bungou stray dogs#bsd fanart#bsd light novel#bsd storm bringer#bsd stormbringer#stormbringer#bsd chuuya#bsd dazai#bsd nakahara chuuya#bsd dazai osamu#nawy's comics#sort of

hello! you've probably been asked these before, but i'm here to ask how long it typically takes for you to make animatics, if you have any tips, preferred methods, and what you use? i saw your funger animatic and it looks absolutely gorgeous! i love all the detail that's jam-packed into the art and story telling, so i'm curious about your animatic process.
sorry if this is a lot! no need to answer if you don't want to. i love your stuff and i wish you well!
Hi! I don't mind answering some questions!
First things first, I'm not a professional storyboards artist. I've done a few things for some youtube channels. I wouldn't call myself an expert. This is to say that my method of doing things might not the best for people who actually work in the industry.
Most of the time I work in Storyboard pro 7. But honestly, any editing software works as long as it can handle pictures and audio. For the disco elysium animatic I only used clip studio paint and some random editing program called Camtasia. It worked alright but it takes a bit longer to finish stuff since storyboard pro is more streamlined. My go-to method right not is to draw the backgrounds in clip studio and the characters and editing in storyboard pro. That way, I get the best of both worlds.
The funger animatic took about 2 and a half weeks to make. It usually takes longer, but the song wasn't that long so that saved me a lot of time. But as another example, my disco elysium animatic took +3 months. So it really depends. I did work longer on each frame for that one tho, so idk. On average, it takes me about 2 months. But that number keeps going up since my expectations of myself keep rising.
Anyhow! I'll be bringing up my fear and hunger animatic as an example of my process.
My animatics usually start out having the ugliest thumbnails known to man. It does let me experiment with framing and timing, which is absolutely crucial. I do not recommend that people start refining frames without having planned out things beforehand.
After that, I just save every thumbnail and import it to storyboard pro. I just scale it up to the current canvas size. Then I just line up every frame with the audio. It is a little bit tedious but you gotta do what you gotta do.
After that, I begin to draw the backgrounds in clip studio. I do the same thing as in storyboard pro and just size the thumbnail up. And then I just sketch over that! Technically, I could have drawn the backgrounds in storyboard pro. But their brushes are pretty uggo so I prefer to not do that :)
As dumb as it might sound, it kind of stresses me out when my storyboards aren't "pretty". Which is pretty stupid since storyboards are literally made only to be a guide for what an animation should be. so in actuality, it's alright if they're kinda crusty. But since I never intend to animate my animatics I find it nice to spend more time on each frame. Which is sorta stupid because I'm shooting myself in the foot by working so long on every frame...
Either way, after that, I import the new backgrounds into storyboard pro and begin to draw the characters. Technically I could draw them in clip studio as well. But its faster to draw them in story board pro and it also allows me to do some semi-animated things and work faster. So, after a lot of experimenting, clip studio backgrounds and storyboard pro characters is the way to go for me!
And just to note. This animatic might have only taken about 2 and a half weeks. Which sounds pretty good. But when it comes to animatics I can become a real workaholic if im inspired enough. So every day after school I would sit non stop working on this from the second I got home to when it was time to sleep. As well as every second of the weekend after I was done with my chores. So that is to say I work pretty fast and persistently, which i know is not healthy or realistic. So take my timing with a grain of salt.
But that's kinda my process. I just draw backgrounds and draw characters until the thing is done.
If I had to give any advice, I would say it's important to have fun when making animatics as a hobby. When I make an animatic, it's because I personally want to see that animatic, and if other people like it, that is a plus! If you're excited about an idea, it'll be a lot easier to add fun details and soul into it.
But yeah that's it. I can't really come up with anything else to say. I hope I gave some good insight!

Going unhinged about Five Pebbles perhaps. Massive credit to @verminsh for brain blasting me with the concept of Cabinet Man as a 5P song, I apologize for the insanity to come but also no I do not.
Working on compiling this into a digital format so I can use it as base sketches for an animatic, hopefully coming soon! (we shall see if finals derail this but oh well)

Here’s the original scene from the Addams family (1991) I used for the animatic I posted yesterday!
Now that it’s up I can also share some sketches I did beforehand :-)) I did some thumbnails for this thing in october, but I started working on the animatic about two weeks ago
In the end I think I had the most fun trying to translate the actors expressions and learning how to draw this trio again
if you haven’t seen the movie go watch it as well as the sequal Addams Family Values!

Well damn, I read A Willing Vessel by the wonderful @aureutr and let me tell you that it's a MASTERPIECE.
The visuals of this fic struck me so hard that I had to do a key shots of it.
I love ice caves, I love Dinluke and adding Biggs made of this fic such a treat!! 💜

daily sketch 2023 || dec 7th and 8th
went into a fugue state over the last two days and really pushed my way through thumbnailing out this whole self-indulgent AMV. hoping to be able to turn it into an animatic eventually. Song is “Take me to War” by The Crane Wives, which is juniper’s theme for sure

Hiii I really really love how do you draw Jervis. Its something I don't see every day, you know? Please dont stop drawing it!!!
Glad you like the content anon! Also good news for you because I'm currently in the works with a meme and also actually getting to... possibly making an ask/rp blog because I'm caving into my own demons. (maybe more ask than rp tbqh dunno yet. I'm currently doing research n shit, so I get this right.)
Idk when tf I'm going to get both of these ideas out but like I'll post em--
SO IN TERMS OF STOPPING DW MORE IS TO COME
#blue answers#don't mind the shitty thumbnail I just wanted an image here#though it does pertain to like...what the fuck I'm cooking over here on storyboard pro#I have to draw so many chars...#those tags when I get this done are gonna be wild tbh.
