Agreed. She did it for a number of reasons. 1) she didn’t want to accidentally get hurt if he scratched her out of fear/ptsd again 2) she showed boundaries because she wasn’t given any permanent/specific boundaries for physical affection and support yet. She gives him his space. 3) again support. She let him have the choice of taking her hand. She didn’t force comfort and affection on him because not all people like physical affection as comfort. Some just like a persons presence. Just knowing someone is there to have your back. This is why i love that moment specifically. She is showing her support, but having him make the boundaries he sets to make himself at ease and most comfortable. Also because i can kinda relate to this moment
Is no one going to talk about how sanga's cloths started covering the tattoos after they reminded ashivon of The other people at the church, because that to me is so sweet.
I figure it was also because the church probably wouldn't have a very good rep in other countries so having a tattoo associated with them wouldn't earn them many friends.
another thing about the clothing thats a bit more obvious the beasts that are abducted and used as executioners by the church are never given clothes theyre never treated like other sentient creature, theyre treated more like animals
@@quietghost9522 I’m sure it’s happened before, especially if this has been going on for a hundred years or even hundreds of years, unless of course they are the first to escape divinity, though unlikely if this has been going on for a long time
The fact that Sanga didn't get upset when Ashivon lashed out at her in a panic, she understood because she was dealing with her own traumas. They both wanted to run to each other but felt guilt from trauma caused by their own kind to the other. And then they see an example of a healthy relationship! And the mutual hand taking! I just! Im so happy they get a happy ending. Truly. This is so wonderful and profound and so deep on many emotional levels.
Can we talk about the cute lesbian couple that took them to their destination and when Sanga hesitated they pushed her out like "GO AFTER HIM YOU FOOL Y'ALL ARE FAMILY" im thriving this is wonderful
I love that our main female protagonist has my body type. No exaggerated features, broader build with a figure, but more muscles than average, got the hips, not overly thin but not fat. Love this
This person has such a good grasp on anatomy and how to draw different body types consistently in different angles. I have so much envy for this kind of skill 😭
Then you have your two versions of tieflings: edgy(tm), and bastard baby who literally only ever charms, and the entire session is dumb shenanigans because of it.

people have posted the comment "I'm not crying you're crying" so many times on this video that UA-cam has started to flag it as spam, and I think that's beautiful edit: proof 66.media.tumblr.com/f2d90dbfa822e4a7d843dd4391c55dde/08c023860d15c800-12/s540x810/08aa7b8a36608b946e2d4d1ed98bfd921db81083.png
I love this! The depiction that their freedom didn’t just ensure a relationship, they still had to deal with their OWN guilt and fears before coming together in a moment that was mutual not one person grabbing the other’s hand. I love it. (Also plus points for world building)
I know people have said this before but, as an AFAB who looks a bit like Sanga (short hair, broad shoulders, stocky), she is such a breath of fresh air from the stereotypical dainty, elegant female figure that we're constantly shown in media, I love this series so much and can't wait to see where it goes 😁♥️
Alot of people are talking about wanting an animated series or a comic but I honestly really like these animatics as they are. They concisely tell the story in such a beautiful way that id be afraid of a series wouldn't be able to quite capture it. It perfectly sets the tone I feel! (That's not to say I wouldn't absolutely love more content of this!! I read the world building document and oh my gosh it's so cool)
I get what your area a saying, its just amazing the way this story is being given to use I mean it. BUT I would really love to see more content, no matter the ways I know that if is the autor is capable of doing such a beautiful job in this forman IM SURE 100% it would be amazing in whatever way just because of the talent of the autor (english is not really my thing sorry)
She likely doesn't actually have black coverings. You have to remember this is black and white but a lot of things in the series specificaly have a lot of color(like how the magic is color coded) still a nice detial in the animatics though
man people never fought to the death gladiator style in my church and there were no sacrifices, ut this has really hit home ever since i left what qualifies as a cult, I'm so happy they finally found peace together in the end, i am ABSOLUTELY crying, and so are y'all
I think Ameqa and Davi push her at the same time. If you pause it at the right time, you can see a right hand on her left shoulder and a left hand on her right. And that just makes my heart melt even more.
I have never thought in my life that I'd meet characters that i know nothing of, for roughly 6 mins (part 1 and 2) and made me try not to cry this hard like a toddler. God damn, for the artist who made this, you are above fascinating. I feel speechless tbh, thank you for warming my heart i needed it.
It's not just the art that causes this it's the art plus the music composition it works so elegantly together to stir up your emotions on a deep and passionate level, the artist is an exceptionally talented one because her choice in music compliments her art style I'm excited for the next chapter in there story
First off, this is utterly breath-taking!!! And secondly, I adore the way you respectfully handled the characters, especially the demon's struggles with PTSD, and the ex-nun's attempts to sooth him. Not once did she try to grab his hand by force. They were both patient and understanding of each other, in such a beautiful way. I think, our gorgeous demon boy is finally learning to not associate that symbol with the institution that imprisoned him. Instead, it's a part of someone he loves, and he's healing with her patience. Not powers, or sacred ways, just the gentleness to be found in the kindness of someone willing to see him for what he truly is.
I didn't realize they had known eachother so long that makes everything so much more powerful! Ugh! I could go on forever about how GoRGeoUs THiS IS!!!!
Me frantically patting my friend: IT'S BACK Friend being beaten out of their seat: Wha- Me patting more aggressive: They love each other! Friend who's very being is being shaken: I don't know- Me now just hitting them: THEY'RE A FAMILY! THE LESBIANS APROVE
The parallels between Ashivon and Sanga reaching out for the other's hand and feeling like it would do more harm then good is so beautiful!!! And how at the end they just reach out for one another and it all comes flooding down and they just, embrace each other is so wonderful and intimate and theres such vibes of healing and i love it
2:04 He reaches for her hand when he feels uncomfortable, AHHHHH because she gives him feeling of safety AAAHHHHHH The amount of detail you've put into this work is astonishing. These characters never speak any words but you can guess their thoughts, get behind the emotions they're experiencing! Amazing. All you gave us is a ~9 minute glimpse into this world, but it already feels alive, fleshed out and unique :0
This is a beautiful animatic to add to the first one. The addition of the beginning of the animatic is an amazing touch, showing that the characters had a connection before the first animatic. I noticed the correlation between how Ashivon drew out a depiction of his past family in the beginning part, and how the little one also had a past family they depicted. The hurt/comfort of the story hit me hard, how fearful the two main characters are of each other, and it’s completely understandable with their pasts, which makes the ending all the more happy. All of the art and movements are on point, and all of the detail put into a 4 minute video is astounding. [im literally sobbing I love this so mucH]
I've watched/listened to this like dozens of times. I never noticed that Sanga, hid the symbols that reminded Ashivon of his enslavement. I like that detail. Thank you.
At 2:43 it looks like we’re seeing Sanga struggle with not knowing whether she fits in Ash’s life anymore, or how she fits. (We saw them both struggle with this separately, when they reached for the other person but chose not to touch them.) But THIS TIME (2:56), when Ash is surrounded by people who look like him, he’s more alone and confused than ever. Sanga is the best person to be there for him, and their relief when they finally touch and realize they belong in each other’s lives gets me every time. And “every time” means a lot because I’m racking up hours watching this series over and over and over…
Ok, now I've watched this for the 4th time and cried about it for the 4th time I can actually get my thoughts out coherently. I love that this tells the story of a beautiful relationship forged in complete trust of each other and seeing past the surface Sanga had to abandon her life to do the right thing and Ash had to trust someone who appeared to be one of his abusers. Also I've learned anything about finding where you belong will make me just melt into a puddle of tears and this is so excellently done
I’ve never cried so goddamn hard, when this came out I cried and then hesitated on watching it, but let me say- this is a friggin’ masterpiece! I’ve never felt so emotionally attached to a concept of characters, this is absolutely delightful and more people should take interest in it! It really made me think, made me connect- actually succumb to real life, this entire series as a whole is revolutionary.
Imagine finally finding a safe place to rest. The worst part is over. The part you’ve been struggling with since you were a kid is over and u can sleep, and rest. And start healing.
Yo, so, to this day, as an animator, whenever I decide to re-watch THIS and the Church animatic, it takes me hours to get to the end because I keep using the comma and period keys to watch frames and specific split seconds so i can fully FEEL and APPRECIATE the work and effort + motion in your work is, as always, so excellent and freaking ace. The way you work and visualize is just artful, man. I like spending time by using my brain to fill in the short seconds you allow between storyboards, and noticing the differences of facial expressions in every shot, the arcs of movement and where they go, just all that good, good, delicious, stuff. It gives me so much joy to let myself overanalyze and marvel at the beauty of the drawn anatomy and your characters in action. It's something I can't get enough of, and you give me that in the millions. God. Just. eVEYTIME. Splendid. So, so, so neverendingly splendid. Thank you so, so much for all your hard work in putting your incredible imaginations into an actual video online. Man, you're really living the dream every kid that listens to music and daydreams wishes for. Thanks. Thank you so much.
I love the shove at 2:46, I get vibes of "Go get yo man, woman." and I love it. Also, the scenes where they got to reach for each other but drawback. I like that figured I should leave a comment if I'm gonna keep watching it
I love the detail of the cut going across the divinity mark on her chest. She's leaving her old life behind, and even more so when she starts to cover up the marks. The movements of breathing, the facial expressions, esp when Ashivon looks into the beyond and just cries and when Sanga went to grab his hand but decided not to and fully grimaced. This is so amazing...
@@EmptyFeet such a good concept. This is strongly motivating me to really solidify my story, and this comment- my magic system. Creator, do you have a social media? Discord, Telegram, Insta, etc? I would love to talk to you, and I'll draw your characters if you want
@@epkesel Hi, thanks! :> I'm toastyhat on tumblr, emptyfeet on twitter, and this series actually has its own discord server here: discord.gg/pRbAce I'm not really available for one-on-one conversations, but there is a channel where you can ask questions, and a really lovely community of people!
Oh you did a great job with the follow up. Usually that's the part most people ruin their visions in, but you did just great and I'm happy yt algorithm showed me the first part again, so I could learn this one is out :')
AHHHHHHH oh my god, I’ve rewatched Church so many times, and now there’s a SEQUEL and they get to travel together and find a home and be HAPPY THANK YOU
your skill with expression and body language never fails to astound me. the amount of time, energy, and effort you invest into your art is always so clear, what with how fantastic your projects always turn out to be! this is a beautiful story. i think my favorite aspect is, ahm. the way that in most of the scenes wherein sanga and ashivon are in the same shot, uh, one or the other is (usually) grayed out. i understand that that's to prevent the screen from looking cluttered, but-well! for me, it conveyed a degree of disconnect between them? in the beginning, they're both displayed with the same dark lines. it is only in that first moment of introspection sanga has, fleeing the city, standing at that cliff, that their values differ. and we see that as their own fears, anxieties, and traumas surface, distance forms between them. here, the only(?) times their lines match values are when their minds are directed outward rather than inward. and they end in those same dark lines, too! which, uh. that they take each other's hands already illustrates that they're overcoming these struggles together, but the opacity of their linework just cements that. to me. i hope i'm not too off-beat! it's just a wonderful detail that never fails to leave me feeling a whole lot of feelings whenever i rewatch this. i'm a huge fan if this. thank you so much for all the work that went into it.
Okay listen toasty. These two videos have completely consumed my thoughts. I just want to keep rewatching it your music choices have always been bomb af, and you really do GET emotional storytelling. UGH I LOVE YOUR WORK SO MUCHHHHHHHH
There is so much emotion in this animatic. It made me cry. I just cant describe how you made my heart just explode. There is no clichee love story its abot trust, acceptence and patience. Its heartwrenching, its sad. its beautiful but its alll worth it. Thank you
Part 1: ua-cam.com/video/r0s0E_WsqvQ/v-deo.html Part 2: You Are Here Part 3: ua-cam.com/video/VcG87eQTy2s/v-deo.html Part 4: ua-cam.com/video/P6jI7bV9ebE/v-deo.html Part 5: Eventually Part 6: Even More Eventually
I love it it’s such a wonderful conclusion yet I want more even though anything more would ruin this beautiful story. That aside this is on par with my favorite animation “Gildedguy Story 6” because of the all the emotion show end expressed in the visuals and music without the characters needing to speak.
Thank you. I was already aware of these videos' existence, but I rewatched them again recently. I don't know exactly what triggered it, and I guess I just wasn't aware of how much has been weighing on my mind without me realizing it. But you have allowed me to cry for the first time in a long time. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I've watched these animatics so many times over the years, I just love this story and I just want yo gush over the moment when the woman hesitates getting off the ship and is then pushed off by the guides that got them all there like "go, girl! Get your man!" 🥰🥰🥰 I just love it
I'm so invested in these characters I love how rounded and thorough they feel and how such strong emotions are conveyed through this and the first animatic too. Love ❤️
I cant even begin to express how much I love these characters, their story, how beautiful you've depicted them, I'm just in aw and close to tears everytime
I really like that she didn't just grab his hand. She let him take hers.
You just read my mind on that one
@@snraijuu I think the best way to describe it is respect. She was showing respect for him while also showing support.
Same here. It showed how much she wanted him to be comfortable with her and I frickin love things like that.
Agreed. She did it for a number of reasons.
1) she didn’t want to accidentally get hurt if he scratched her out of fear/ptsd again
2) she showed boundaries because she wasn’t given any permanent/specific boundaries for physical affection and support yet. She gives him his space.
3) again support. She let him have the choice of taking her hand. She didn’t force comfort and affection on him because not all people like physical affection as comfort. Some just like a persons presence. Just knowing someone is there to have your back.
This is why i love that moment specifically. She is showing her support, but having him make the boundaries he sets to make himself at ease and most comfortable.

This whole thread just summed up why those moments of hand reaching were so good
Ashivon is smiling and he's so tall and the found family trope is killing me, holy shit this is everything
*Ikr?* My fucking *heart!*
It’s just so wholesome
Shout out to the wives for giving Sanga that push she needed.
Brb im gonna be crying about this for a couple of days now.
Is no one going to talk about how sanga's cloths started covering the tattoos after they reminded ashivon of The other people at the church, because that to me is so sweet.
I know right!
I've noticed that too
And my heart went warm, it was a frickin' nice detail
I figure it was also because the church probably wouldn't have a very good rep in other countries so having a tattoo associated with them wouldn't earn them many friends.
another thing about the clothing thats a bit more obvious
the beasts that are abducted and used as executioners by the church are never given clothes
theyre never treated like other sentient creature, theyre treated more like animals
I didn't notice that till you pointed it out 😮

The hurt/comfort of the story hit me hard, how fearful the two main characters are of each other, and it’s completely understandable with their pasts, which makes the ending all the more happy. All of the art and movements are on point, and all of the detail put into a 4 minute video is astounding. [im literally sobbing I love this so mucH]
She covered her tattoos to help not trigger him and probably to try and forget them herself. 😭
Oh my god I didn't even notice that. The details in the storytelling just keep blowing me away
And also partially as a mirror to his own hands which is just 😭😭
Oh I didn’t either
she was ashamed, once was a reason for proud but after all of that, is a reason for shame
me: (crying in the dining room)
my sister: toastyhat’s animatic?
me, blubbering: yEA h,,
Can we just appreciate that either Davi or Ameqa basically said "Girl, quit being stupid, go get yo man!" At 2:46
I've watched/listened to this like dozens of times. I never noticed that Sanga, hid the symbols that reminded Ashivon of his enslavement. I like that detail. Thank you.
Maxwell Ryan
And I didn’t realize this until you pointed this out
Thanks ^^
I only just realised that as that part appeared just as I’m writing this
And ashivon covered the executioner brands on his wrists.
In addition, Sanga used a black wrap to cover her arms, while Ashivon used a white wrap.
@@violingineer7862 lmao, I think that's because it's a black and white animatic and wouldn't show up otherwise
Emptyfeet's storyboards are more thought out and beautiful than my entire existence DAMN
Me when I see this: My life has been *completed*
Agreed my friend agreed
Can relate
At 2:43 it looks like we’re seeing Sanga struggle with not knowing whether she fits in Ash’s life anymore, or how she fits. (We saw them both struggle with this separately, when they reached for the other person but chose not to touch them.)
But THIS TIME (2:56), when Ash is surrounded by people who look like him, he’s more alone and confused than ever. Sanga is the best person to be there for him, and their relief when they finally touch and realize they belong in each other’s lives gets me every time.
And “every time” means a lot because I’m racking up hours watching this series over and over and over…
Great
sanga letting go of her uniform is her giving up "all this and heaven too" for him, for them
Ok, now I've watched this for the 4th time and cried about it for the 4th time I can actually get my thoughts out coherently.
I love that this tells the story of a beautiful relationship forged in complete trust of each other and seeing past the surface Sanga had to abandon her life to do the right thing and Ash had to trust someone who appeared to be one of his abusers. Also I've learned anything about finding where you belong will make me just melt into a puddle of tears and this is so excellently done
That is also how I feel about the story to & I also melt about finding where you belong stories
Tears?? In my eyeballs??? This animatic was so lovely, a genuinely excellent successor to the previous one!
It's more likely than you think!
this animatic broke down my door and handed me a box of tissues, thank you for this content
Me : *sees this. * YESSSSSS
*watches it 4 times*
YESSSSSS
*sends it to everyone*
*Uses it as a reference for college a project*
YESSSSSSSS
Chris Bramow fuckin same! But I also cried my eyes out because A. Beautiful artwork, and B. Flashbacks suck
That's literally what I did lmfao
YESSSSSSS
YYYYYAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS
Ashivon’s design is literally my favorite
2:41 I know there are far more important aspects to this and I love every single one of them, but I couldn't help but notice that they have TOE BEANS!
I LOVE THE TOE BEANSSSSSSSS
@@Kanashiseppaku ME TOOOO
Is there really anything more important than TOE BEANS?
OMG YOU'RE RIGHT!!
KITTY!!
@@ChibiGeeBee they purr, too!
I’ve never cried so goddamn hard, when this came out I cried and then hesitated on watching it, but let me say- this is a friggin’ masterpiece! I’ve never felt so emotionally attached to a concept of characters, this is absolutely delightful and more people should take interest in it! It really made me think, made me connect- actually succumb to real life, this entire series as a whole is revolutionary.
A second part I was not expecting and a second part I didn't know I needed.
Me too
Imagine finally finding a safe place to rest. The worst part is over. The part you’ve been struggling with since you were a kid is over and u can sleep, and rest. And start healing.
Hypedragon21 yup must be a great feeling 😊👌
Damn- No need to make me cry fam-
Then the city comes under attack because the church has been tracking them and they lead them there.
@@razgriz2276 Perhaps they try, and when the dust cleans, and the city still stands, they try to teach them a new way to live
sounds fake.
THE NOISE I MADE WHEN I REALIZED WHAT I JUST RANDOMLY CLICKED ON
HAH Studios OML same. I was like ooh animatic. Then I was screeching! 😂😂
S A M E THO
HOLY SHIT- SAME!!!
Less than ten minutes of footage and not a word spoken and this is still one of my absolutely favorite romances.
Yo, so, to this day, as an animator, whenever I decide to re-watch THIS and the Church animatic, it takes me hours to get to the end because I keep using the comma and period keys to watch frames and specific split seconds so i can fully FEEL and APPRECIATE the work and effort + motion in your work is, as always, so excellent and freaking ace. The way you work and visualize is just artful, man.
I like spending time by using my brain to fill in the short seconds you allow between storyboards, and noticing the differences of facial expressions in every shot, the arcs of movement and where they go, just all that good, good, delicious, stuff. It gives me so much joy to let myself overanalyze and marvel at the beauty of the drawn anatomy and your characters in action. It's something I can't get enough of, and you give me that in the millions. God. Just. eVEYTIME. Splendid. So, so, so neverendingly splendid.
Thank you so, so much for all your hard work in putting your incredible imaginations into an actual video online. Man, you're really living the dream every kid that listens to music and daydreams wishes for. Thanks. Thank you so much.
Yes!! This is a beautiful work!!
OH MY GOD I GAVE NO WORDS
THIS WAS WHOLE LEGITIMATE STORY!
THE STORYLINE, THE CONCEPT, EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
My friend: this lowkey slaps, how about u-
Me: *LOUDLY SOBBING*
I still love how when she gets to hold his hand she breaks down and how they both accept each other like they’ve been wanting too
I saw this on my recommended and I swear I clicked faster than the human eye can comprehend
Me too! 🙋♂️ Hi five!
Austin Jones I saw your username and I know it’s a coincidence but I nearly spat out my drink
LokiWasHere I feel 75% of us did that when we recognized the good demon/creature boi ;w;
Owichi He an abused boi ;-; but he a good boi nonetheless
Me too, don't worry.
I love the shove at 2:46, I get vibes of "Go get yo man, woman." and I love it.
Also, the scenes where they got to reach for each other but drawback. I like that
figured I should leave a comment if I'm gonna keep watching it
This has more emotion in four minutes than Frozen could ever have with two full-length movies.
This is the 10th time I have watched this, and I still cry every time.
This is unironically "maeks me cri evry tiem", and I love it.
I love the detail of the cut going across the divinity mark on her chest. She's leaving her old life behind, and even more so when she starts to cover up the marks. The movements of breathing, the facial expressions, esp when Ashivon looks into the beyond and just cries and when Sanga went to grab his hand but decided not to and fully grimaced. This is so amazing...
I thought the cut over her divinity mark was intentional? I mean clearly magic exists, the divinity mark is giving her her powers right?
@@sidney4357 yeah, they cut it in part 1 to stop her from using magic anymore!
@@EmptyFeet such a good concept. This is strongly motivating me to really solidify my story, and this comment- my magic system. Creator, do you have a social media? Discord, Telegram, Insta, etc? I would love to talk to you, and I'll draw your characters if you want
@@epkesel Hi, thanks! :> I'm toastyhat on tumblr, emptyfeet on twitter, and this series actually has its own discord server here: discord.gg/pRbAce
I'm not really available for one-on-one conversations, but there is a channel where you can ask questions, and a really lovely community of people!
@@EmptyFeet invite link expired. You can send it to Aruuno#6715 on discord
2:26 I was too blinded byTselah’s smile that I failed to see Ashivon’s sweet sweet smile
I just noticed that now that you pointed it out and that is so precious
He's gonna pull a Beauty and The Beast moment and dump it on Sanga's head, what do you bet?
Human woman runs away with Tiefling Man and adopted child.
Oh you did a great job with the follow up. Usually that's the part most people ruin their visions in, but you did just great and I'm happy yt algorithm showed me the first part again, so I could learn this one is out :')
you've just killed my heart empty torn it to pieces and then mended it in 4 minutes and 9 seconds. I will never stop loving your art
AHHHHHHH oh my god, I’ve rewatched Church so many times, and now there’s a SEQUEL and they get to travel together and find a home and be HAPPY
THANK YOU
YES, THIS IS AN AMAZING EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT
I watch this whenever I feel dysphoric
I can’t believe they found his homeland and his people, I’m so moved! 😭
your skill with expression and body language never fails to astound me. the amount of time, energy, and effort you invest into your art is always so clear, what with how fantastic your projects always turn out to be!
this is a beautiful story. i think my favorite aspect is, ahm. the way that in most of the scenes wherein sanga and ashivon are in the same shot, uh, one or the other is (usually) grayed out. i understand that that's to prevent the screen from looking cluttered, but-well! for me, it conveyed a degree of disconnect between them?
in the beginning, they're both displayed with the same dark lines. it is only in that first moment of introspection sanga has, fleeing the city, standing at that cliff, that their values differ. and we see that as their own fears, anxieties, and traumas surface, distance forms between them. here, the only(?) times their lines match values are when their minds are directed outward rather than inward.
and they end in those same dark lines, too! which, uh. that they take each other's hands already illustrates that they're overcoming these struggles together, but the opacity of their linework just cements that. to me.
i hope i'm not too off-beat! it's just a wonderful detail that never fails to leave me feeling a whole lot of feelings whenever i rewatch this. i'm a huge fan if this. thank you so much for all the work that went into it.
That last scene when they held hands finally I cried for awhile
Okay listen toasty. These two videos have completely consumed my thoughts. I just want to keep rewatching it your music choices have always been bomb af, and you really do GET emotional storytelling. UGH I LOVE YOUR WORK SO MUCHHHHHHHH
You have no idea how happy I was when they finally held each other hands without the trauma.
God, I love this
I was just introduced to these characters and I’m crying from this animatic
This is literally the greatest series ever, I'm so goddamn obsessed with this
I like how Sanga has to tie up her hair as time goes on. Such amazing attention to detail!
There is so much emotion in this animatic. It made me cry. I just cant describe how you made my heart just explode.
There is no clichee love story its abot trust, acceptence and patience. Its heartwrenching, its sad. its beautiful but its alll worth it.
Thank you

One question. I really love Ashivon's design but what race is he? If it already exists I would love to have one as a character in DnD or something.
@@ironmanrox3145 They're called Voa and I came up with them! But people call him a tiefling all the time, so you could go for that?
@@EmptyFeet my friend actually called them a tiefling when I asked if they knew lol. It looks really cool
@@EmptyFeet great designs and I love the story I'm proud you made it and Im glad people are here to see it and enjoy keep up your creativity
I love it it’s such a wonderful conclusion yet I want more even though anything more would ruin this beautiful story. That aside this is on par with my favorite animation “Gildedguy Story 6” because of the all the emotion show end expressed in the visuals and music without the characters needing to speak.
anyone else burst into tears when they saw the town was full of people like ash?? yeah
Thank you. I was already aware of these videos' existence, but I rewatched them again recently. I don't know exactly what triggered it, and I guess I just wasn't aware of how much has been weighing on my mind without me realizing it. But you have allowed me to cry for the first time in a long time. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I love how they hug at the end and there are no guards to pull them apart 💕
I’m not crying, Someone was cutting onions I swear!
Stupid invisible ninjas *sniffles*
Me too Kyle me too...
I've watched these animatics so many times over the years, I just love this story and I just want yo gush over the moment when the woman hesitates getting off the ship and is then pushed off by the guides that got them all there like "go, girl! Get your man!" 🥰🥰🥰 I just love it
My heart soared seeing the three again after a long while.
I just love the chemistry between these two and how their friendship grew over the years
I'm so invested in these characters
I love how rounded and thorough they feel and how such strong emotions are conveyed through this and the first animatic too.
Love ❤️
I'm just trying to look at animatics to study storyboarding, I didn't come here to get my heart ripped to shreds
Same
I cant even begin to express how much I love these characters, their story, how beautiful you've depicted them, I'm just in aw and close to tears everytime
