I really appreciate that, thanks!! (For rewatching and the encouragement/support). It feels kind of crazy how much the channel has grown - I’m just blown away by so many kind people here. So, thank you!
You know.. I was already in shambles because of like two other animation/indy stores I follow today. Crying over Kanan was NOT on my bingo card. This is beautiful.
oh man this is amazing. heartbreaking but dang beautiful. this is just gorgeous. hit the emotional beats perfectly, and illustrated the life of kanan in a span of three minutes. congrats dude, this is just breathtaking. really did both the song and the characters justice!
Aw thanks so much, that means a lot! And, thanks again for directing me to this song (like…2 months ago or so?). As you can probably gather, it just kind of hit me and I needed to draw… and Kanan’s story came to mind.
@ThatGirlThatLikesMuffins bahaha I'm so glad you liked it bc I've imagined all sorts of animatics to it in my head but I don't have the patience nor the skill to do it justice like teal did!!
Now that you mention it…. 😂 He does! I was going for how he was depicted in the comics (which is a bit different from what we saw in the Bad Batch), but now I see the similarities lol!
As much as I love this why did it make me so sad 😭 But seriously another great animation I love how you made commander grey have his original design on his armor instead changing it to green. I think this might be my new favorite Star Wars rebels animation.
It is sad… I’m glad, though, that you liked it and thanks for noticing Commander Grey! Yes, I really liked his design in the comics and it was fun to draw him and the other troopers in this. (Despite it being a rather depressing/tragic story…)
@@TheBudgieCrew Yeah, I would recommend them if you get a chance! They’re a pretty quick read but I liked learning more about Kanan’s backstory and it also ties in with a mission during the Rebel’s timeline. (Kanan: The Last Padawan is volume 1 and First Blood is volume 2).
Oh... I've watched Rebels a few times, and Bad Batch too. But this made me see Kanan in a whole new [heartbreaking] way. Your art is so expressive and beautiful, and the song is so hauntingly fitting. Truly a love letter to his story. Thank you so much for your passion and time and energy ❤
That’s so kind of you, thank you!! This kind of became my passion project over the past several weeks… so it’s neat to hear how it impacts folks. Kanan’s story is a sad one, but inspiring too.
Oh my goodness, the parallels between the beginning and the end is amazing. This made me feel so many feels. You really outdid yourself with this one. And the animatic style you did this in was pure eye candy. I love this so much even though it is so heartbreaking.
This was such an emotional roller coaster. Why do so many beautiful things in Star Wars crush hearts more than tie-fighters explode? Absolutely breathtaking job with this, it felt straight out of a show. 🥹❤️
That is such a good way to put it…. tie-fighters explode… 😂 that cracked me up… But, it’s true! Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed this (despite the heavier/sad themes…). It did feel a bit like a roller coaster while doing these drawings too. 🥲
Agh sorry it made you get teary-eyed! But yeah…. Same here a few times while I was working on it… 🥲 Aw thanks so much!!! Just from an art/making the video side of things, it was a blast to try figuring out how to stage everything and pace the story!
Ok, last comment (I know I’ve kinda spammed your comments sections on some of your videos), but I wanted to say something that hopefully encourages you about your work. This is beautiful. The relationship between Kanan and his master is one I’d never got a a chance to explore. The dynamic between the characters and the music in top of it is like watching a mini episode. Teal, you absolutely out did yourself 👏!
Aw, thank you!! This one was really challenging with so many drawings/scenes, but after reading the Kanan comics and hearing this song, I just felt like this was a story I wanted to try drawing/telling. (I’ve just spammed you back with replies, but I wanted to acknowledge each one! I really appreciate all of your kind comments!)
Agreed, well said about Kanan’s journey. I really appreciate his character arc and tried to do these parts of his story justice as best I could. Thanks so much!!
No no, I'm definitely NOT crying, nope, not at all... 😭😭😭 This was so beautiful, Teal, thank you!! The storytelling you pull off in these 2 minute animatics is just amazing. Looking forward to your next heartbreaker lol!
Ah, sorry!! Yeah, this is a sad one… But, thank you!! It’s actually a joy to draw these animatics and bring these short stories to life… despite the heavy themes sometimes.
Oh my. Wow you really know how to hit the beats. The artwork is fantastic as always and the animation is great too. Your ability at visual storytelling is amazing. 👏👏👏👏
Oh my word, that was amazing! You really put your heart and soul in this - thank you. I've always thought Depa Billaba was one of the truest Jedi; I love her story and I love what you did with it here.
Aw thank you! Yeah, this was definitely a labor of love as I just felt I needed to draw this story… I didn’t know too much about Depa Billaba until reading the Kanan comics, but I really love her character and her master/padawan relationship with Caleb/Kanan. So glad you enjoyed this!
I've truly never seen anything quite like your art! It's so expressive and unique and brilliantly made! The style pops so well and the colors are so gritty I love it! And the many frames show how much work you put into this!
Wow, thank you so much, I really appreciate that! This one was really challenging (I think this has the most drawings I’ve done for a video so far?). 😅 But, it was also an opportunity to try drawing different angles/experiment with a few things, which I enjoyed trying to figure out. Glad you liked this!
Aw cool!! I really like Kanan too - I have such a hard time ranking characters (because I have so many favorites lol!), but he is up at the top of my list along with Plo Koon… I love his padawan/master relationship with Depa Billaba as well as with Ezra Bridger. Thanks so much, I hope you have a fantastic day (or evening) as well!!
Thanks so much! And… same, whenever a clone trooper dies. When I read the Kanan comics, I was so bummed about Stance (the trooper Caleb befriends in this video who then…dies). 😭
This is so cool and awesome! Even though I never really looked at the comics..... this is so wholesome but yet sad to see the story again through losing troops and seeing the order. "No troop is ever promised survival" - Captain Rex 💔 Man how do you get the eyes so perfectly!! I can never get the other eye!
Thanks so much, that means a lot!! Yes, this is a sad one. The troopers in this are characters we meet in the Kanan comics and so I’m glad I got to draw them and include them in this video. And thanks, eyes are so hard to draw! I feel like I’ve tried doing them a few different ways so far… Idk, one thing I’ve found helpful is to draw the eyes in two layers in the drawing app (one layer for the shape of the eyes, and the second layer for the eye pupils). It makes it easier to erase/fix/redraw…. But maybe that’s a weird way to do it lol!
@@TealTrooper that's pretty cool! Now I gotta see the comics. Hmmmm ill try to do it your way! and if it doesn't work out, eh ill figure out how to do it eventually if I just keep doing different methods. 😁
NAHHH YOU CANT USE SATURN THATS CHEATING T_T In seriousness, this is amazing!! Seriously great work, your storytelling is on point! I'm not very familiar with this series but I really felt the impact, I kinda wanna watch/read it now. Also, the way you edit stuff is so cool, for example 2:32. the impression of a light blinding a camera when he turns his head. Also, though you called it an "animatic" a lot of the scenes had so much movement!
Aw thanks so much!! And, cool! I enjoyed the Kanan comics (they’re a really quick read) and it was interesting getting another perspective on the Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels… And, really appreciate how you notice those details! I’m never quite sure how to title videos like this, since it’s mostly an animatic but it’s fun (for me) to try to add bits of animated movement in too lol…
Me: “Oh boy, Teal Trooper released another animatic! Awesome!”
(Feels Immense Joy and Anticipation)
….
One Animatic Later…
(Depression)
Sorryyyyy, I kinda had to get this one out of my system…
(I’ve got some more lighthearted content ideas for the future, though!)
@@TealTrooper Lol, it’s fine!
Great animatic!
Can’t wait for the light hearted ones! 🥳
HELLO???!?!? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING OH MY WORD I AM SO. I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS THIS IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL
Thank you so much!! So glad you liked it!!
This needs more views, holy shit. A masterful love letter to both the Kanan comics and Rebels.
the second a ‘sleeping at last’ song started playing i knew i would start crying lol
Yes, those songs just kind of hit the emotions!
This Saturn song got me in particular… 🥲
Same! 😂😢😊
rewatching this and i just have to say again, seriously peak. I love watching your channel grow man, it's just awesome
I really appreciate that, thanks!! (For rewatching and the encouragement/support). It feels kind of crazy how much the channel has grown - I’m just blown away by so many kind people here. So, thank you!
@@TealTrooper yeah, it's really such a great community!! your art is amazing so i'm glad you're sharing it with us.
Wow...that was beautiful! I just found you by accident. I guess I will have to take a deeper look Teal Trooper.
Aw cool, thanks so much for watching it! It was a lot of fun to draw this. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You know..
I was already in shambles because of like two other animation/indy stores I follow today.
Crying over Kanan was NOT on my bingo card.
This is beautiful.
Ooof, that’s rough, buddy…

@TealTrooper yeah ofc! kanan's story really fits it so well
syd thank god for your direction cuz this is the best use of this song I’ve ever seen and it’s pretty directly because of you haha
@ThatGirlThatLikesMuffins bahaha I'm so glad you liked it bc I've imagined all sorts of animatics to it in my head but I don't have the patience nor the skill to do it justice like teal did!!
@@saltysyd99 oh I’ve imagined too I just have no art skill that rivals my imagination lol
Young Kanan looks like Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet and honestly that fits perfectly.
Now that you mention it…. 😂 He does! I was going for how he was depicted in the comics (which is a bit different from what we saw in the Bad Batch), but now I see the similarities lol!
@ looks great!!
As much as I love this why did it make me so sad 😭

Esto es hermoso!!! Y muy triste podrias hacer uno de Ahsoka y anakin? O de Ahsoka y Barris?
Thank you so much! Perhaps one day I may make one about Ahsoka and Anakin or Barris… we will see!
Question is how did she get the charges of crimes against civilization dropped? I refer you to the novel Shatterpoint
That book is actually on my to-read list!
@ Then go read it! I can highly recommend it ^^
This is overall amazing and beautiful 😢 I love everything about this but trust it hits me hard when clones die
