When I made this animation my goal was to make something small and cinematic. It was animated with Blender and rendered using cycles. There is more planned for the Octolings and Octo Valley. If you want to see more of this, let me know!
This was amazing! If I ever see any more of this, I will definitely click on it! The textures were awesome, and the animation was NOT jerky! Keep it up!!!
In a way, kind of teaches and shows us how soldiers who have been through a lot of combat, have a hard time reverting to civilian life because they still have those memories of fighting losing friends in the battlefield This octoling was lucky to be able to find peace Once she was no longer the soldier.
im actually in shock dude. how do people like you and john sandwich manage to pull thsi off like im actually flabbergasted the level of talent is INSANE!!
I feel honored to be compared to John Sandwich, he is one of my inspirations for projects like these! The thing which these type of video's focus on is the beauty of the Splatoon world which we don't get to see in the games. (Along with showing the beauty of life we know in our own world ^^)
I know everyone loves Eight, but it's also interesting to think about all the soldiers that had escaped Octavio control. Like, Eight is practically one of the closest friends with Marina and Pearl, so in a sense she has two "protectors". But what about all the other Octolings? Imagine starting a new life in a society where you were an enemy in war.
Marina actually is one of the Octolings who went away after hearing calamari inkantation. It's such an interesting concept which I hope Nintendo will expand on further in the future!
The result of this came out wonderfully, both the environment, the setting, the audio, the faint sounds just pull the ambience together very well, and still can't get over on how Rachel's design came out absolutely amazingly! Her design is just soo fitting for her and it's so good, you nailed her wonderfully!! QWQ Really can't wait to see how much more story development you end up doing with her, seeing Rachel come to life from the Blender viewport really hits differently ^w^ ✨✨✨✨ (Such a shame Blender didn't work properly for the weapon simulation planned at first, Blender spaghetti X3)
What an awesome job! As for the environment building and the lighting you nailed it! I still find it crazy how far you have gone over the years. Keep up the good work as always friend. ^^
Thank you Mint, I'm really happy you like it! The fun of making these projects is to try something different every time to keep growing. Plus, you helped me out learning a lot!
The transition from her taking her goggles' off and seeing the real world is truly beautiful. Very metaphorical and well animated. I can tell you took your time getting all of the movements right with her facial expressions. Show dont tell is an important tool in storytelling and you pulled it off spectacularly. Amazing job.
I know I don’t comment a lot on UA-cam but I like this! The ambience and moving camera is done well and I like how you hinted what her past was. Keep up the good work ^^
The render quality and the idle animation itself looks clean and gorgeous! I kinda relate to this, having a dream about my dark past, only to wake up and realizing it was far gone and nothing to worry about.
Thank you very much, I'm happy that you liked it! The idea of the animation was for her to be silent as these events take place in her head, there would be no need for her to talk.
I'm glad you noticed the improvements! ^^ Been learning in depth for around a year, eventhough this doesn't really showcase the "animation" part of it but rather storytelling and such. So excited to show some proper animation!
I’m in love! This reminds me of one video by Rains (think that’s their user.) Anyways I really liked the implied motion of taking the goggles off, hats off to you!
Thank you for your kind words! And yeah RainS animation was a inspiration for this project, along with John Sandwich and Poool157. They make some great quality content!
aw man, i can't wait to get learn blender after seeing this! I'd love to see more about how octolings adjust to life above ground, but wouldn't mind seeing more detailing their lives underground
Alot of people are wondering how they were able to take their "mind control headset off" the answer is simple, there not being controlled the goggles are for ui
@LooNey2357 Idk just animations, but when I try to animate, it always messes up... like I have a TON of models I made but I can't animate them :( if you made a tutorial that would help a ton but if u don't that's ok ill just keep watching your animations and learning from them :D
@@SplatKnight While I may not have tutorials or anything like that, UA-cam is full of them all made for people to learn ^^ While I am a bit further on the learning process, there's still much to learn and I'm looking forward to all of it! Try some new things, explore the many animation styles and just have fun!
@@LooNey2357 Maybe she could not let go. DJ Octavio had her and her friends and people brainwashed since they would in to fight for him if he command them without the brainwashing goggles.
@@eidoneverchoosen1171 Something fun to mention, the Octoling goggles actually do not brain wash. Many people believe so due to this being a thing with Callie's shades, even I used to believe it for years XD

I'm happy the Octolings found Peace.
So am I 😄
@@14oliverhedgehog74 Splatoon 4 is coming so I hope it will continue.
@@keynanmartinez let's hope so
Bro I see you on like every splatoon vid
@@Lockhart21 I'm extremely persistent on UA-cam
The lore of Splatoon for the Octarians is so dark and sad...i am happy that a lot of them now can see the sun come up again.
I really hope they will feature more rival octolings and octarians in the future games!
An interesting way to picture a characters past.
Exactly what I tried to achieve, yet there's still a lot unclear about all of it. I'm glad you got the message!
Rival Octolings always have trauma they are soldiers after all but they can find peace soon as well
Calamari Inkantation inspired many Octolings to take their own path in life ^^
It's a shame we can't get that hair and pupils yet in Splatoon
Really hope we can in the next game!
A simple heavenly melody is all it takes to show a world more beautiful and brings out humanity's wish once more
The Squid Sisters changed the view of many Octolings during a certain event, it's beautiful!
I’m very happy that octoling opened her eyes and she sees peace with eyes of faith awesome job of the animations my dear friend well done
The beauty of life, open your eyes. I'm glad you liked it! ^^
Indeed I do my friend it’s awesome

Great example of "Less is more." The body language and eye movements speak volumes. Well done.
I'm glad you noticed the details, thank you!
This is so cool, the animation, the audio, the way you can understand the story without needing dialogue, great stuff all around

Thank you Mint, I'm really happy you like it! The fun of making these projects is to try something different every time to keep growing. Plus, you helped me out learning a lot!
This looks amazing! The textures look really nice and even the subtle eye movments really add to how fluid the whole thing is
Eye darts are always important in animation, especially when a character is thinking. Glad to hear you noticed these smaller details! ^^
The transition from her taking her goggles' off and seeing the real world is truly beautiful. Very metaphorical and well animated. I can tell you took your time getting all of the movements right with her facial expressions. Show dont tell is an important tool in storytelling and you pulled it off spectacularly. Amazing job.

Thank you Jet, it means a lot! ^^

I'll be honest,this was wondeful.
Everything was good,not even she bothered to talk cause it might ruin the audio. It's good
Thank you very much, I'm happy that you liked it! The idea of the animation was for her to be silent as these events take place in her head, there would be no need for her to talk.
@@LooNey2357 ye. I found that audio to be chill
That makes me wonder if octolings ever had respawn points. And if they actually couldn't come back.
They do actually have respawn points. But if you lose as Agent 8 in Octo Expansion, you actually do die. The time simply resets like nothing happened.
That was super freaking awesome! I really enjoyed this animation!
I'm glad you liked it! ^^
This animation is so nice so happy that the octoling found peace ☮️
Thank you very much!
This was REALLY well done!!!
Thank you for your kind words Skylar! ^^
Octolings rest in peace please.
This animation is amazing in all ways! The shading, the movement and what It portrays. Amazing!!
Thank you very much!
That really looks as if it were made by the actual developers of Splatoon! Great job!
That's a really wholesome compliment, thank you! ^^
Really well made there buddy!
Thank you very much Honex! ^^
Oh this is wonderful, I love the different perspectives. Once at war, now at peace~ 🎀💕✨

I guess if you can't beat em, join em
Alot of people are wondering how they were able to take their "mind control headset off" the answer is simple, there not being controlled the goggles are for ui
Correct! To also support this idea, look at some images of Acht and Marina from the past games. They are being shown without their goggles.

It's probably because they grew up differently. Shiver likely didn't grow up in the Octarian army.
@@LooNey2357 I thought they all were militarised, the Octarians were a very militaristic race
@@LooNey2357 If my memory serves, Shiver said she was a city girl which might just be the answer.
