Ooooo I really like the flower drop animation 0:16! keep up the amazing work! (:
Li'l fun fact, if ya look back at some earlier posts, you may notice a hint of symbolism used here
If ya wanna look, lemme know when you think you've found it!
I love the oc and the animation is so freaking smooth
@@Astral_79 tysm!!
@@rabunny-ym7oc no problem
It's so mysterious and neat, Ra!!
Thank you!
I really like how this turned out. You always manage to make everything with such high quality-despite how little time everyone has anymore. Considering just a minute can take almost a month to animate, I'd guess this took at least a week with hours put in each day-which I really couldn't commit too (my wrist would be in agony and getting the software to work would be just as hard).
On another note regarding the animation itself: I can see how the flower breaking apart could be symbolism for many things, but seeing as Azazel was the next camera subject, I'd say it's likely symbolism for Kuragari's death (and it's a subtle nod to Lucian, since flowers were used in her last showing-which is nice way to say that Lucian caused or was related to the death of Kuragari. Are flowers a symbol for Lucian, by chance-like how the gods, goddesses and deities of the real world often have symbols alluding to them or their presence? If so, what is/are Kuragari's symbol(s), if any exist). Also, are the tail spines a new addition, or did I miss 'em last? Or were they part of a transformation? I think I remember you mentioning how Kuragari can shapeshift or swap forms (along with something about a wolf form?)
Overall, I stilk can't get over how much Lucian and Kuragari consrast each other. Lucian is very humaoid, with miscellaneous nonhuman features, while Kuragari is only somewhat humanoid and has more animal-like features and a genrally nonhuman appearance. Despite all that though, they still have some similarities to display their connections, like the eye formation on their chest. You're attention to detail is imepeccable! The way you've done all this is comparable to an idie legend of worldbuilding like HK, just as great as legends of storytelling and worldbuilding like Lord of the Rings or Avatar the Last Airbender, just smaller! It's this kind of quality I want to create-tho it'll be a while yet before I can start, but I'll keep building the worlds I've got before I start-not much use in finishing half a project if you've no idea where to go from there. You seem to know where you're going so far, and I hope you don't hit too big of a blockage-they can sometimes end such big projects. Happened to me a few times with smaller ideas that didn't go very far-but I plan to try again with a couple once I can figure out where to pick them up. I'd gladly tell ya about them too if you'd like, but until then, I'll foucus on what I've been working on for years now instead of months.
Kinda got a bit sidetracked there! I sometimes forget how easy that is. Anyways, I'll see ya
Thank you so much for the nice comment! You are spot on about the symbolism of the flower
(Also yes white flowers are often used to symbolize Lucian! And Kuragari’s main symbol is four pointed stars)
I’d love to hear about your projects some more sometime! Thank you for your investment and praise in mine ^^
@rabunny-ym7oc you're very welcome, once again, for the praise. I just find your works so far to be one of those underappreciated masterpieces that more people just *have* to know about. I really can't get over how well done this is and how you've kept it all up for so long (which reminds me how I have no idea how I've kept my projects going for 8 and 4 years, alongside a bunch of others that didn't last very long-some of which I intend to someday pick back up). I really don't get how we're so similar and manage to just read each other like a book! I never really had a friend so similar to me-though I've had several who were just as close, but either kinda similar or totally different, giving us a contrasting complimentary feel, like Sans and Papyrus-I often feel more on Sans' side of that duo (or group in a few cases)
Ooh! I just realized how the eye-shape look pretty similar to the four-pointed star you mentioned as Kuragari's symbol-which I'd guess was intentional. Oh, and there was another on the horns (I have the thumbnail in view right now BTW). I never really thought of having symbols for the Celesials and Eternals-and I probably won't-but I do have symbols for certain aspects of the world for the Chronicles (AKA the fantasy project). The symbols weren't like yours or those of the Greek/Roman gods-instead being symbols for the Elements (fire, water, air and earth) as well as light and shadow (which strongly resembled a sun and moon). Light and dark also had their worn symbols, which were either painted on the face and hands, or the Ancients could be born with them before they split up into the Sunborne and Nightwalkers-very few of which are still born with such symbols, especially now for the Nightwalkers after the extinction of a tribe calling themselves the Watching Eye (more on that later). I think I've mentioned the worn symbols before, but never their context. Each symbol kinda resembled each other-light is a set of three thin, yellow lines going upwards from the left eye (symbolizing beams of sunlight) and dark was worn as a single violet streak going along the right side of the face from the right eye. Both could be confused for each other by those who haven't seen one thanks to the prominent streak going down and slightly out from the eye of each symbol, both symbolizing tears (which was an aspect left over from the split, since the Ancients knew that suffering was a constant none can escape, even the Eternals). These symbols are worn by the leaders of both peoples, who are chosen in similar manners. The leaders of Sunborne society are chosen through a long bloodline of people capable of bending light-these leaders are the only ones capable of doing so, and are well guarded-but a legendary few went into battle with their legions, giving birth to legends of much braver Kings and Queens (these individuals garnered legends following them thanks to the fact that, despite being taught to fight with swords against a variety of weapons and foes, they never really entered wars, save the few who did. Gaining a reputation for being uncannily daring-but such monarchs were often the greatest in most fields, being wiser and leading their ages into better times than any other. Sadly, all but one died someday in one of the many battles thanks to particularly powerful Nightwalkers with better combat prowess than was thought). Those who rule gain their power over light and their society through their predecessor via the bloodline-leading to a tradition of passing down what the mother and father knew to their child-or whoever came next (as this wasn't *always* their child they taught, but was almost 9 times of 10). In the rare case that the bloodline could not be continued-whether it be because the current King and Queen could not have a child, or never did, or by some other event where the bloodline cannot continue-a new ruler is chosen via divine intervention from Solaris (one of two Celesials who is as old as the Ancients, but not a Titan-as the Eternals are much older). When this event happens, the child is marked by a symbol resembling the Sun upon their forehead and left hand. They will grow to resemble their predecessors-despite not being related-and will gain the same power the light. For example, the current monarch(s) was/were killed off before they could have a child and continue the bloodline, so a child is chosen on the summer solstice (the day a new ruler begins their teachings at the age of 10-leaving room for the basics like math and literature which are taught beforehand and continued until they become the new monarch. The summer solstice is also the day the new ruler becomes a monarch at about 25 when their teaching have mostly concluded (their predecessor(s) will continue to advise them alongside the council of viziers that normally accompany a ruler and their guards-the advisers are chosen based on those who are believed to be the wisest or most intelligent and are tested by the previous group while the guards are chosen based on the most selfless and learned in their weapon of choice. A side note is that the Sunborne originally forsook the ways of the Ancients, so they are a society made almost entirely of nonbenders, though those who can bend the elements are still valued in a myriad of jobs among the working class, and soldiers with such abilities are commonly found in legends. The rulers of Sunborne society are also taught a very unique method of combat based on bending. They are taught the sword for its versatility, and are taught to flow like water, stay quick and ready like wind, stand your ground like earth, and have a firey passion behind your strikes. These qualities are embedded into martial combat form similar to the mixed swordfighting of today (you can find a channel called Sellswordarts to get an idea of what some techniques might look like). Soldiers are taught a more basic form of this same method of combat, but they aren't told everything so they cannot easily overpower their ruler and take the throne for themselves. Since monarchs are taught techniques and not a specified form, each ruler develops their own style of combat, making it difficult, but not impossible to counter-since one can still try to manipulate how they'd react or learn how they fight, but the unique styling makes this method difficult.
The Nightwalkers still have rulers, but they have multiple rulers-one for each tribe (as they are one people, but split up to avoid internal conflicts). Those who rule are chosen by who the current ruler thinks is best suited for their position-so there isn't a specific set of criteria one must meet. Since Nightwalkers have no lifespan and are effectively immortal as long as they don't suffer fatal injuries, bleed out, or get poisoned (though many don't work very well and just incapacitate them when humans or Sunborne would be dead) a standing ruler-called a Nihilar or Nyctosa (meaning center of nothing and center of shadow) can choose to resign or who was chosen takes their place in the event of their predecessor's death (despite the fact that they can come back, but it takes a long time, so someone else takes their place instead-this someone is chosen by the original ruler or the rest of the tribe). This has lead to cases where Nihilars alternated for centuries. The only tribe who didn't follow this tradition was the Watching Eye-who was considered the most powerful, but was also feared for the chaos and power they wielded. The Watching Eye is now "extinct" thanks to Solaris and a battle that broke out between Solaris and the Eye. One warrior wielded unprecedented power and struck Solaris with a blade no other could wield-scarring a Celestial for the first and only time in history. That warrior now survives with the exact same scar as the last living member of their tribe, as the masks of every other member were destroyed-leaving them now way to come back.
I'm running out of time today, so I'll just tell ya that Nosk was that last survivor. Seeing as they are the mortal form of Omen, it makes sense to me that they'd be much harder to kill and would be much more capable than usual. Like an athlete compared to a normal human.
I'll see ya soon! Think I'll focus on either Nihil or Lumos next (a couple of my older projects that didn't last hardly as long)
Bye for now
TOTOROS THIS IS SO COOL!!!! 👀👀👀👀
