- Taako and Kravitz get some alone time on the moon base.
God this was so much fun to make. I didn't think I was actually gonna finish it! But here we are :D There were some really fun shots in there that I think everyone will enjoy ;) Taavitz is some good shit, my dudes. I'll definitely be doing more animatics in the future!
Enjoy!

God I remember on a The Adventure zone zone they talked about this scene, and griffin said something like, "playing a gay character wasn't weird, pretending I was on a date with my brother was fucking weird."
Oh my god I haven't even thought of that, I'm in tears
Griffin has the patience of a saint he had to rp plant seducing with his dad.
Romi Maman *plant being seduced by his dad
The amount of romantic scenes Griffin had with himself and the fact that he did romantic scenes with literally every other person in TAZ is kinda ridiculous (not that I don’t still love those scenes)
I think it was Justin who said that, and then Griffin immediately went "GOD YES"
This is why I question the people who seem to genuinely think the McElroys are incestuous.
"The gum is not a Lich" very underrated quote. Love it
Agreed!
"I'm not a cat" energy
@@dontuserachelslurs YES
I love how Griffin introduces a bit of mystery and intrigue and Justin IMMEDIATELY guesses that it's related to his umbrastaff "eating old dead dudes" and Griffin is like "ha! Lol no that's not it. hahahahahaha don't be silly"
And then IT REALLY IS THE UMBRE STAFF!
@@radioactiveferrets Well, more what the staff ate. The staff itself is an normal as a magic eating umbrella can be.
I honestly kind of take this as the umbrella absorbed so many powerful things that it just felt more like a powerful or cursed object more than a lich to Kravitz...like he couldn't really pick up on that there was a lich in there too when there's all this other crazy stuff going on inside it.
I love when Kravitz is like transforming into his full on reaper form and Taako is just like 'love this, love this'
😂OMG yes
“Was this call for business or pleasure?”
“Yeah.”
Takko: *hands umbrella to kravis*
Lup, inside the umbrella: OH FU- CRAP CRAP CRAAAP AHHHHHHHHHHH
Kravitz: *goes all goth*
Taako: *goes all star eyed*
Kravitz: *goes all skull*
Taako: urgh.
Kravitz: "There's something here."
Taako: *goes all star eyed again*
The fact that Taako has a salt shaker to check for poison in food breaks my heart.
I just now get this. Time to go cry.
I just got that, too. Welp. Time to go cry now
Ouch
I love the blush on his skull face as Taako says "I feel it too" because Kravitz's talking Business and Taako's talking Pleasure
:)
"There's something here, Taako!"
"I feel it too."
seeing the physical embodiment of death do a full on anime blush made my day 6000% better
Gay Grumps ME
I like to imagine a tiny Lup in the umbrestaff flipping off Kravitz as he insinuates her invention and prison is a cursed object
Like “first of all fuck you, second of all how are you employed I’m a litch in an umbrella”
"No I don't think it's that"
*Is infact that*
"No, I don't think it's that."
He said. Like a liar.
"there's something here" "i feel it too" kills me everytime
That was one of my favorite parts to draw
okay but taako being all "not to my knowledge" when kravitz asks him if he's a lich is almost as close to him asking if it's the umbrella
also they're so wholesome
lmao taako's heart eyes when krav starts transforming, SAME
I know, right? :D
listening back now I realize why griffin made the whole "wait my lips" joke in story and song omg
O h my gOd
"The gum is not a lich"
“As long as I don’t die... again.” AGHH IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW TRUE TAAKO
I love your use of different brushes when Kravitz is in his reaper form. It makes him look very much like he does not usually belong in the prime material plane
"There's something here"
"I feel it too!"~
This moment is now 10x funnier and cuter with visuals omg
That was one of my favorite parts to draw!
I'm super late/new to TaZ so I haven't reached the end yet (literally I finished this very scene a few days ago), so I'm probs jumping ahead on these two when I have no idea what will even happen with them. But I couldn't resist! I love how the style you drew these two in so much that I started sketching them!
If I end up finishing this art piece, would you be okay with me posting it somewhere (probs my tumblr)? I only ask since they're being depicted specifically in your design of them(with link/your name along with it of course).
If that is okay, can I also use your design of Taako in his full adventuring gear (if you have drawn it - I just kinda assume you might've)?
And of course you don't need to feel obligated to say yes or share anything! So even if I finish the piece I won't post it anywhere without your ok!
+Kaida W I just realized I completely missed this comment and you put it like nine months ago,, I'm so sorry!! I'm absolutely thrilled this video inspired you, and I'd still like to see what you drew if you still have those pictures. My tumblr is astrophysiciann so please DM me there if you can or send me a link over UA-cam. I hope you've enjoyed and continue to enjoy TAZ since I posted this video ❤️
YOU'RE DATING THE GRIM REAPER?!
It’s so funny to remember that these are two brothers playing D&D with each other skdjfhjdndh
fml, why are these two BROTHERS better at flirting than me??
"Do you think my umbrella is the powerful dead thing you're looking for?"
"No, I don't think so."
"I think it just tried to kill you."
"Woah, weird!...Still don't think that's it."
"Do you think *I'm* the dead thing you're looking for?"
"No! I'd know it if you were."
"Here, hold this."
".........Nah, this is definitely not it."
Lup the entire time: "Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit!"
the flash of recognition which is somehow still shrouded by confusion at kravvy's mention of knowing a lich in taako's eyes?
w h o o boy i almost screeched out loud
DID YOU
DID YOU JUST SPELL TAAKO AS TACO-
@@pastelribbons739 omfg autocorrect sucks
Taako: "Unless I die"
Kravitz: I'm not letting you ditch me that easily
Skeleton Kravitz blushing isssss my new favorite thing on this earth.
I loooooove how taako's hair sprig turns into a heart when he's flirting!
I love it too, he's gr8 :D
The moment Taako starts pulling out all of his items gets me every time. 😂😂
It was very fun to visualize :D
meanwhile lup’s jaw is dropped to the floor in the umbrella
skeleton kravitz blushing is actually precious
TAAKO MADE A SKELETON BLUSH
He's talented lmao
Love skeleton Kravitz's blush so much!!!
Your Kravitz design is the BEST
thanks!!
you can tell I'm hopeless when I had listened to this whole segment on the podcast and thought "damn that was kinda awkward, made it seem like a date almost, but at least they're a little closer" with only the vaguest of thoughts of "oh maybe there's romance here"
Same for me
How did you manage to give skeleton Kravitz so many facial expressions!? He's just a skull! This is amazing!
Thank you!! I bent the rules a little bit and let his face be more fluid than a skull would be in reality lol
this particular kravitz in his grim skelly form might be my fave cuz he looks so cool, and so cute too blushing omg
Glad you like it :D In that case, you might wanna check out my newest upload ;)
I liked how you did skeleton Kravitz the moment I saw him (skulls just look cooler with only top teeth for some reason), but it was just amplified when I saw his precious blush.
Glad you think so! I feel like it adds a lot to the whole spiky, vertical thing he's got going on, plus he's waaay easier to draw when the bottom of the skull is just some jagged lines. As for the blushing, he is certainly one of the most precious
Just wanna say, the perspective of the scythe appearing in his hand was VERY well done! That's not an angle many people draw on purpose it's rough to get right but you pulled it off very well!
obsidianthe7th thank you! even tho this video is really old i still feel reassured by this comment :>
@@astrophysiciann it just showed up in my suggestions lol boy howdy that algorithm is great huh?
i noticed that too
This was so cute and they are so dorky while with each other I love it :3
it's Very Good
I did not know a skull could blush XD
Just King the skull is magic :)
I think anything would blush if Taako is around.
Blushing Death! Love it.
All of your Taako facial expressions are so on point and perfectly matched to the dialogue! And I can't believe you made skeleton!Kravitz look so cute.
Aww, I'm really glad you think so :D I was very satisfied with how this turned out since it was such an experiment for me. Love these two
i could watch/listen to taakitz for hours on end. also, i love that thing that happens in shit like this where animators just collectively decide on how a certain character is drawn/what they look like, even if the original creators don't say anything about it or make pictures
that’s one of the things that drew me to taz in the first place, the fact that the visuals were completely headcanon and so making art about it was simultaneously like one big collective effort and whatever you personally wanted it to be
Kravitz the skull blushing is the cutest thing in the fucking world
Glad you agree :D
Omg I fkn LOVE this reaper Kravitz design oh man it's gorgeous
This scene becomes a million times cuter with visuals, I cant handle this
SPOILERS
the fact that Taako even holds up the umbra staff and suggests it may be the source hghghsldfasldjf
I know pretty much nothing about the plot of TAZ, I've just been watching these various animations and boy is it as great as it is confusing.
I'm glad you're enjoying them! You should totally consider listening to it, they'll be even funnier that way :D
lol yes i Watched a lot of the animatics before i watched the series but if you got the time it is my fav dnd show
IT WAS THE UMBRELLA. Lup no. Bad Lup.
“I eat old dead dudes with my umbrella” THE FACT THAT HE JOKINGLY G O T IT-
I LOVE your Reaper!Kravitz design! So cool 😍
Glad you liked it! ♥
Bro the cloak moment was so COOL
I adore the facial expressions you gave to Taako!
I love Kravitz's skull!
Maymer thanks!
I am adoring your character designs and just how expressive the two of them were. I really liked Kravitz's skull, and how you animated his hood forming. So badass.
Thank you
I love the heart in taakos hair haha such a great little detail
One of my favorite parts :>
So far my favorite animatic. Great scene, perfectly executed. Also my favorite Taako drawing.
Thank you!! This means a lot! They're much better quality haha
@@astrophysiciann Will do!
Holy Pan, this is just too cute. I love Taako's lil heart hair thing, the blushes, the sweet expressions. Only makes me fall more in love with this ship. Such good good bois who deserve happiness together
I just made a bunch of strange demon sounds because this couple is too damn cute and I cannot handle it
i love the foreshadowing of lup. AH!! so good.
These types of animations add a whole new layer to the story.
This is my favorite scene from TAZ, I love these eccentric boys 😭♥
I know this is pretty old by now, but I really like the character designs and shot choices. Kravitz's cloak hood is very cute lol
Also I'm very late to the TAZ party so I don't know what the ship name is, but I like to think it's Kraako like the angry cloud in Kirby lol
Maximilian Paws thank you
@@astrophysiciann I really love your Kravitz. I was doodling him last night (:
I've never done a full animatic before, but maybe I'll give one of their other scenes together a shot.
I especially love "that was a test, your face is a skull half the time" 😂
Imagine if Kravitz was more on the ball with staff, and suggested to Taako to exorcise the lich from within it.
NOOO
This was so cute and I loved the last part where his face changes back!
Thank you! I thought that would have been a nice touch ^ ^
Alicca's Angel SAME!
i ship this so hard it's probs unhealthy for me
glad i can enable you
I love your Kravitz so much.
Kravitz’s smile at the end was beautiful
This is very good! I love the boys. Your hands are good bro dont even worry! I also really loved the part at the end when Kravitz is leaving in his skull form but he looks back at Taako for a sec with his handsome face like wow! he already in love!
You took time to read those little comments, nice attention to detail lol :D
I feel a lot better about my ability to draw hands now, even though it's only been about three months. They were weird angles for sure, though...
It felt really natural to include that look back at the end, and I think it added to the scene :> That's one of my favorite parts about making animatics: you get to add in little visual details that the boys don't include when they talk about it.
Thanks for commenting, it means a lot!
oh god oh man you made this. even more adorable somehow? your kravitz? WONDERFUL. and taako's expressions had me cracking up!
Glad you enjoyed it :D More on the way ;)
i LOVE your Reaper form Kravitz design! The spikyness at the bottom of the skull, the tail of his hood, how his cloak curls up at the bottom, I just love it sm!
Thanks! :D It was really fun to draw him that way!
Ok I know it's 4 years later but I've been listening to TAZ for the first time (almost done with the Balance arc) and this may be one of my favourite animatics! 💜
i'm glad people are still enjoying it years and years later ♥♥ i was a kid when i made this and the fact that it's reached so many people is just wild. that kid would have been so happy to know how much it's persisted after so much time :)
Cute and wholesome
1:39 Taako's like "Annnnnnndddd....Date over -_-""
I hope you can understand how much I love this. This is really amazing.
Alice Destriel it warms my heart that this video can still get this kind of reaction out of people after two years. I’m glad you enjoyed it 💙✨
taakitz is... good... listened to this ep for the first time earlier and id seen a piece of taakitz art a few days ago and was like what??? is this some kind of weird rarepair????? but i understand now.
and ive been vaguely spoiled by the fact that the next suggested video is entitled "taakitz reunion" and has a pic of them kissing but you know what i dont even mind. im just excited for them to see each other again (only on ep 52 tho so guessing its gonna be a bit)
Ah be careful around spoilers my friend! Enjoy the next few arcs, they're... a lot :>
honestly this was so fun to watch and it was cool bc i felt like you improved as the animatic went on, like it got more expressive i love stuff like this where you can see the artist getting better
this makes me feel warm inside, i'm really glad you liked it! drawing two characters several hundred times in the span of a couple weeks will do that for you haha :> this was my first animatic so i definitely picked up a flow at a certain point. having said that this video is super old, and if you liked it i encourage you to check out my more recent stuff! i'm pretty active on instagram ;D
@@astrophysiciann yes i totally will!!! :)
Ahhh I love this so much! You've brought the scene to life so well & gahhhhh they're both so cute!!
I'm procrasinating finishing the Story & Song arc because...I'm not ready to cry that much yet lol. 😓 so thx for giving me a nice TAZ fix in the meantime!
sweet pea bee i’m glad you enjoyed it :) go ahead with story & song, it’s time
Yo i sat in my car for a good thirty minutes after I finished Balance just an absolute mess
I finished it while I was laying on my bed and I just laid there and cried my eyes out
I FUCKING LOVE YOUR KRAVITZ DESIGN! :D So handsome in his humanoid form, and so dark and menacing in his skeletal form! so good :3 keep up the good work
Thank you!! So glad you like it, I'll probably build on it and give it some more details in the future :D
I am absolutely in love with ur character designs
THE UMBRA STAFF IS LUP
YES I NOTICED THIS TOO
ANYONE WHO DISAGREES OWES US TEN BUCKS
Kravitz: is the umbra-staff a Lich?
Lup: Berry and I are going to become lichs.
IPRE wears red cloak, how was the staff found, held by a skeleton, with a red cloak.
I did actually a small comic about this too lol
Oh? I'd love to see it :0
I could tumbkr it to you lol
i absolutely love this, especially taako's designs!!!!! this scene was one of my favorite to listen to, and wow, listening to this after watching the finale i can't believe how many hints griff dropped that we didnt catch!
Glad you like it :> I really hope I did this scene justice, these two are just the best
Lup be super protective.
I have to say you're really good at subtle expression changes! (and facial expression in general)
yokonamigaara oh good! I hoped I’ve improved, since I made this a few years ago :D Thanks!
I’m only on episode 51 but I adore these two
I love your design for reaper Kravitz
Thank you!
The nine people who disliked this hath angered pan
I prefer to focus on the 3.4k people who enjoyed it enough to let me know and let Pan deal with the rest
And Istus
i love this interpretation of Taako. Great style for him.
"bleh hands" I feel that.
Aaah I’m like a couple episodes past this one and I fucking hope they get together, they’re so cute!!
mmmmm I'm so excited for you!! I love it when I find people who are listening for the first time because it's sooo good. (Sorry, you commented like a week ago so idk how far you are at this point, but either way I'm glad you're enjoying the show!)
Taako’s face when kravitz handsome face turns into a skull has me rolling
This is too adorable for words. How do you get Taako's eyes so expressive?!? Stunning.
Thank you!! It has a lot to do with not being afraid to exaggerate certain features/expressions to get the point across ;) Taako has a naturally expressive voice so he's very easy to portray!
*two brothers role play the grim reaper and fantasy Rachel ray flirting* the internet "BEST SHIP! OMG LUV EM SO MUCH!" (All jokes aside this was very well drawn good shit)
@Joseph Delahunty I do play dnd I was just pointing out that if you take a step back from the roleplaying aspect the situation was funny, bud.
4:05 "no, the gum is not a lich"
Aw this was so cute taako and kraviz looks so nice and I love the way you draw krav hood and his reaction and such 👏👌
Thank you! This was basically an excuse to draw them in excess
oh my GOSH this is SO FLIPPIN CUTE
The fuckin bean sprout turning into a heart FAVE
yesssssss i loved adding that in :D
This is so cute I love it!! You made Kravitz look so awesome dang
Thanks!! I really like how Kravitz turned out and I'm ready to move further with the details :>
