(CW: ABUSE) Tiresias - Giving Up the Ghost [OC Animatic]

⚠️ child abuse
Just a slapdash animatic after stumbling across the conceptual musical EPIC, detailing Ayaka's narrative powers - specifically, her ability to see things, past and present, from other people's perspectives. The story of her and Akiko's parents is a messy one, and it's not yet over.

This is stupendous, I really enjoy how you convey emotion through movements (hands covering vs grabbing her face, curling vs zigzagging tufts) and I also just really like how emotion is also conveyed through the eyes, it’s really cool seeing the eyes go from sad/concerned to shocked and to horrified.
I also like the little details, such as a bit of the Akiko green ‘ink’ staying on her face after going through the past perspectives as well as the ‘you’ at the end being Akikio green as well.

Thank you!! It was really fun to play with the expressions for this animatic, and I'm glad you noticed all the little details, especially Ayaka's horrified reaction to the drama of her own parents!

ach this is so cool !!!! i am so normal about ayaka and i don't think constantly about how overwhelming her life must be i promise,,,,, like it must be wild for her to be able to see everything that's going on and know about all this but not. necessarily having the ability to communicate what she knows and help her family through it all?? i could actually rant for days about this story fr, this was really good :)
