Valkorey
Приєднався 17 лют 2017
Hey there! I'm a concept artist & illustrator in my daily life, but here on UA-cam I get to draw anything I want for fun - which is now a fully 2D animated wolf series. If you ever wondered what it looks like to make a series by yourself feel free to check out the Animation Logs :)
How I Started My Animated Series - VALKOREY Log #2
We have already come to the second log video of the animated series. Still a long way to go but getting closer to our first small release this summer. Thank you for tagging along as I share the process of creating the show! It means so much to me
Obviously, this log video only shows a small portion of the work and preparations that went into making the show, and I by no means claim that my approach is the best or the only way. Especially since the pipeline can change depending on what you actually have in front of you. I mentioned removing the highlights in the video to save up 10 minutes per cut, but in reality, I actually save up way more than that. Yet, even such a small amount of minutes can already make a big difference ;)
This log video actually contains quite a lot of information and little sneak peeks. Believe me, I had an internal debate about whether to show the very first story draft or not. I only had to cut out a small portion of it because they would spoil the story a little, but the rest remained… Mostly because the actual story has changed a lot. I still cringe a little, though :’)

I am a fan of drawing tho but i appreciate your art it looks awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The 1st one is awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I've always wanted to add more detail to the animal ears I draw and this gave me just what I needed. How would this look from the back or on folded ears?
No se lo que habla, pero se ve chido la serie
Amazing videos! This series is looking amazing! I love the style, the coloration and everything looks amazing! Also I have a question, at 7:06 ish what program is it? Looks like a great way to sort things.
Thank you 😊 So happy people like the style! The planning app I use is Notion (Free) and I specifically use it on the pc because the layout is a bit different on mobile. I recommend it!
@@valkorey Will definitely check it out! Thanks :)
Woah, I thought you were gone. I'm so glad to see you. I love your wolf tutorial you did a few years ago
Hey Val, could you do a 3/4 head tutorial please.
Heyhey, I have a full front angle view video on the channel :) it comes with free reference so this should help you out
I made fan art for you!
Where are the episodes? I'd love to see them!❤ Also, this really inspired me because I am an artist and I want to publish a fantasy book. It's really great that you didn't give up on your dream!
Heyhey, they are still being made. I am documenting the process in Log videos like this one :) sorry it might have been a bit confusing haha. The first log video (#0) explains it a bit more ❤️
New Subscriber ❤❤
Welcome to the community! ❤
Thank you for the breakdown of your workflow and honest insight. People following their dreams and encouraging others to do the same is what makes the world a good place 🙏😌
I’m at a conundrum. I’ve been drawing all my life, yet only recently have I started to take it seriously. I feel like I kind of have a grasp on shapes. I can draw them, at least, and not have them look deformed (mostly). And when I draw animals from the side, they look fine. Yet I have not grasped 3d space yet. I am totally lost on shading, and cannot put anything more complex than a basic shape into perspective. I have no idea where to go from here, especially being self-taught. Do you have any advice for someone like me?
This is SO amazimg, but I'm confused where the actual show is? You make it seem like some episodes are out but you don't link to it @.@
Great video! Where did you get the story boarding format from
Thanks! :) Based it on the storyboards from studio ghibli and other anime. Explained the process a bit here ua-cam.com/video/uGsPLOV_Yc0/v-deo.html
Anime wolf characters with aspects like spiky hair and fantasy details are very common in the internet, but normally they stay as pictures that you pass by online, comics, at most. I think this is the first time we're gonna see them actually animated, telling a story at a profesional level, with all that it implies... And the fact that it is mostly the passion project of a single person is really inspiring (I have already said this but I don't think I can say it enough) Even if I don't like some aspect of the final prodcut, like the story or the characters I am still gonna love the project itself! Can't wait to see these guys and find out what story they tell
I just want to say that i am so deeply inspired by how far you have come. I have a anime-wolves-with-magic type world and story that ive been tossing around into the back of my head since i was little, and ive been drawing characters and writing little story fragments for a minute, just starting to toe the line of making my most beloved characters more animation friendly. this is super, super cool to see, ok? you putting in the work, figuring out a cohesive process and sharing what you have learned not only proves that it is possible , but also offers a helping hand to those of us seeking to grow in similar ways. The character designs, expressions, style, and backrounds are extremely charming. I love the Storyline too! Are you open to recieving fanart at some point? also, let me know if you need some sound design for your series! My partner is extrordinarily talented with musical motifs, sound effects, editing, etc- i'd be happy to get you two in touch if you would like to see some examples of what he can do.
Eee thank you so much for the kind words! That means a lot to me :) Being able to make this project is already so fulfilling, but also being able to inspire people makes it even better. I wish you all the best with your own story! Also, fanart is always welcome. I am blown away by the amount of talented people who joined the community, so yes please do :) Everyone is allowed to share their own art, stories, and fanart in our Discord server. Communication for contributing to the series (referring to your proposal) also generally happens in there so feel free to check it out
I loved this so much! It's really interesting and inspiring to see the process of the episode! I was wondering, do you have a DeviantArt profile? I would love to make you some fanart, and that is the only art website I am active on!
I'm happy to hear you liked the content! ^-^ I used to have DeviantArt, but since Eclipse I left the platform, yet I would LOVE and be honored to receive fan art <3 If you ever feel like sharing your own art or fanart you can always join our Discord. The community posts their art there all the time and it is a really fun and inviting place :)
@@valkorey Okay! My parents probably will say no to going onto Discord (I am using my mom's YT profile) but I will start on your fanart drawing soon! I just can't get over how amazing Valkorey is, and it's not even finished!
This is really inspiring me to review my own stories and try to put so much into my story, and fill the pieces one by one, and the animation tips are also so satisfying aaaaaaaaaaaa Honestly thank you so much for this video, looking forward for your series and hoping this gets popular soon!!!!
Thank you! ^^ glad it managed to hit the right spots haha. All the best with your own story by the way! :)
VAL ISSO ESTÁ INCRÍVEL, seus desenhos me dão motivação para continuar minhas histórias, estou muito animada, quando você acabar sua série animada pode me dizer em qual aplicativo poderei assistir-? Eu já estou animada para ver essa arte pronta, eu queria fazer uma pergunta, você tem uma equipe toda para ajudar a fazer a série? Sinceramente, a cada dia q passa eu fico mais impressionada com seu trabalho, é muita dedicação, isso é incrível! Vc está fazendo um ótimo trabalho, estou ansiosa para ver essa história completa!♥️⭐🌟🌙⚡☄🔥🔥♥️ Editado: eu chorei de emoção com esse vídeo... seu trabalho é inspirador e extremamente lindo! Meus parabéns! E se você tiver uma equipe, parabéns a eles também!
Hey! So glad you liked the video haha (google translate is my friend again). Your comments are always so nice :) The episodes will be available on this UA-cam channel for free when they come out. I have a few people helping me out with the show, but so far I am animating all of it by myself. Goodluck with your own project too <3
@@valkorey Q bom!! O Google também me ajuda muito nessas horas, mas olha, meus parabéns pelo seu trabalho, está indo muito bem!! E obrigada também!!❤❤❤
Hey Valkorey, I just want to say that these logs have been very fun to watch and you talking about your project passionately has given me motivation to get my animal shape shifter manga off the ground!! As a fellow animator who is currently working on my own animation MVs and the like, I know for sure that animation is such an ambitious medium to pursue independently so I admire anyone who gets into it especially for an animated series. And I am so into this because I have such a bias towards anime styled or the Japanese animation process and of course- WOLVES!! I am so excited for more logs like this and wish you good luck on the production of your project! 🐺💕
Thank you so much :) Yea we need more wolves in anime to be honest! I love that hahaha. Also goodluck with your manga and the MV's!
@@valkorey You're very welcome and thank you!! ^^
It is really impressive how you are working on such a detailed and wonderful story in solo, regardless how its difficulties. I relate, I am also hestitating to continue my own story due to my insecurities and inexperience. Listening to this while you work on your divine work, it gave me more motivation about this! Keep up the best experience Valk!
I'm glad you like it so far and that this was able to motivate you a bit :) Also, good that you started with your own story. That's already a big step and surely worth admiring. Keep it up ^^
@@valkorey That’s delightful to hear. Thank you! ^^
I subscribed! You are so relatable to, I get tired when Animating, but this is encouraging and it gives useful tips! I need a story board Lol 😂
Also, I will be watching ur series! It's interesting as well, because even if the Villain isn't current at the time, "Who killed her" is a mystery.
Ahh glad you like it! I actually forgot to mention: I published the storyboard template I made for FREE on Patreon (no need to pay anything and completely changable to your liking) Goodluck animating too btw :)
@@valkorey TYSM!!! I got inspired and started Animating Lol, this should be a great help as well!
Insecurity is everyone's worst fear. Sometimes it's hard to overcome it.
For those interested OLD CONCEPT! Prologue Deep within a forest, four wolves came together at a small hidden lake. They carried the lifeless body of the fifth along with them. The one up front, who led the way towards the lake, ordered the others to sink the dead body of their female friend in the clear water. He and another male wolf stood by the edge. For they were not allowed to touch the cleansing water. Eventually, they lined up in front of the lake and sat together to wait for the miracle their guide had foretold. Their tails were kept still as they sat in place like statues, waiting for their friend to return from their afterlife. Her white fur slowly but surely got soaked, but nothing else happened. Even her kind-looking face did not loft towards the surface. There was no demand for air. Feeling deceived, the largest animal of them all looked down on the guide and frowned. “It is not working!” He snarled. Not impressed by the threatening appearance, the guide kept looking down at the body. “Just wait. I did not lead you all here for nothing.” “I just hope she will come back to us…” another whispered. She had been the quietest wolf of the group. With her head between her paws, she lay on the grass surrounding the lake. Small bubbles were starting to group up around the dead body. //Where am I? I have no vision… I feel nothing but cold// The white female attempted to inhale, but the water had already filled her lungs. //I can’t breathe. What is this place?// Slowly the life she had been given back started to slip away as she was choking in her dream. //It’s hurting so badly. I have to…have to…have to wake up!// In shock, she opened her eyes which were immediately stung by the water. With an exuberant swing, she lifted her head above at the white wolf, now standing inside the lake, trying to catch her breath. Every single one of them was speechless, for their friend did not look the same as before. Her calming blue eyes changed to red with a deep black sclera. Confused and wary, she looked at them. “Who are you!?” The wolves exchanged glances. Now they were even more shocked than before. “Answer me.” She demanded. (Please tell me if I did any typos or skipped stuff)
Omg! I didn't know I picked a tier where I would be in the credits! That's soooo cool! I am terribly excited to see you work on this. Looks fabulous thus far!
Thank you so much for the Patreon support <3 It seriously means the world to me that you guys are supporting the series like this
I just found your channel! After hearing your story about paradise, I’m interested to see how this series go! Love from Thailand ❤🇹🇭
What program did you used for animating and creating wonderful background? They're so gorgeous! 💖
Aww thanks! <3 I am using Clip Studio Paint for both
@@valkorey Oh thank you very much for your response. Your animation style was so Gorgeous like anime and I think studio Ghibli should hiring you for working with that company. ✨💖
You have inspired me to make my own series
This is amazing
Just found your channel, and I'm soo excited by this project!😮🎉🎉 You've given me and countless others the shot in the arm needed to show that we can complete our own animations, no matter if it's by ourselves or a very small group. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤❤❤
Ahh that's so good to hear! I'm happy the video is inspiring you and others like that and I can't wait to show you more :) thank you
Today is my birthday
Happy birthday from a month ago
I'm also developing a pilot episode for my indie series as well.
Goodluck with it! :)
The white monster-loving Valkorey at the end there is so cute!
I don’t think I’ll like the type of story(not as offense it’s just personal preference I have,the idea is unique and good though).but when it comes out I’m definitely watching it I love all of the character designs,and in the future I want to make a show and game based on the story I have created or more of so thought about and brining it to life.I want to be inspired by creators like you so I can make the characters to my liking without being insecure if others don’t like it or even hate it.
AMAZING YOU GOT THIS!
😄
These logs are always so insightful to watch! Watching the genuine process is rlly inspiring. <33
I'm glad it's inspiring ❤😄 That's what makes it worth it
Great log and wonderful insight into your planning process! Looking forward to the next video :)
Glad you liked it :) Was eager to share my Notion planning hahaha
