{MDZS Animatic} the stranger

[@fionahoang9628]

omggggg dude it matches the characters so much... i love how "you are not the one you say you are" applies both ways: you are not the evil thing people claim or you are not the good and innocent and righteous one you pretend to be.... and i love that the implication for jiang cheng is despite is angry and accusatory exterior in the end he was the one who hoped for WWX's return the most...

[@silversshadow13]

thanks for watching! perception vs reality and how people view the characters is interesting to think about.

[@bloomeng_jpeg]

I feel as though my third eye has been opened because wow this song is so fitting

[@silversshadow13]

thanks for watching! the band has a lot of songs that I feel fit the series.

[@linderosse_yt]

An animatic that doesn't immediately disregard Jin Guangyao as pure evil but still acknowledges the fact that he committed some major crimes by the end and deserved what he got? Yes please, sign me right up.
And everything else is so accurate too! Love it!

[@silversshadow13]

I have very conflicted feelings on him. like, I understand his reasoning - and why he would think that way - but I have no agreements with it.

[@gloveinabox2248]

The last part killed me omfggg. And the expressions, especially the ones you did w huaisang are so good? I love how he just looks,,,so tired at the end. And JC being all soft and fjsjdjr I love how u managed to include everyone! And ur art style is so nice

[@silversshadow13]

thanks for watching! this was a fun one to work on - though it made me sad at points too. I'm happy to hear you liked the expressions.

[@ericatchrist]

The animation, the art style, the fitting characters. Man, this animation is perfection.

[@silversshadow13]

thank you so much! I'm glad you like it so much!

[@roganarchi2319]

OH MY GODDDDD
THIS IS SO PERFECT
THE WAY YOU MADE EVERY LYRIC FIT WITH A SPECIFIC CHARACTER, THE SONG CHOICE, THE ARTSTYLE
Also you got me into Lord Huron lolol

[@silversshadow13]

thanks for watching! a lot of their songs are eerily fitting - I'm probably going to take a break for a while to focus on other things but I already have another idea in mind...

[@ericatchrist]

-makoto. Ikr

[@chaoticdusk1316]

The fact that the song is actually kinda accurate to a lot of MDZA characters makes this even better. Just like the visuals get the points across so clearly and I love it

[@silversshadow13]

there are a lot of fitting parts. thanks for watching!

[@lydia1321]

i love how you draw mxy wwx with his floofy hair! it brings me so much joy!

[@silversshadow13]

it's a lot of fun to draw, lol

[@narniadici1976]

I won't lie, that (almost) final moment at the end of the novel where Wei WuXian realises WHO has bern pulling the strings since the beginning... fucking jaw-dropping

[@silversshadow13]

it's so good! I liked that the live action adaptation put in a few more clues to help viewers figure it out themselves, but the way the novel played it out was such a good moment. thanks for watching!

[@bree5169]

i love huaisang design its just splendid

[@silversshadow13]

thanks for watching! it's a lot of fun taking parts of different character designs and incorporating the bits I like, and then just adding freckles because they're good, lol

[@phoenix_features]

Okay, this is a beautiful and moving animatic on its own, but THE WAY YOU DRAW MXY! WEI WUXIAN"S HAIR?!?!???!?!!!?! OH MY GOD, IT"S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@silversshadow13]

thanks for watching! I have so much fun drawing the fluffy hair - it's really cute, and I'm glad everyone seems to like it!

[@RenHeng_canon]

GOD, THIS IS SO PERFECT 😭💖💖💖💖

[@silversshadow13]

thanks for watching!

[@annalol6128]

I can't stop watching this.... The way you draw each character ... Their facial expressions... I am so in awe

[@minervavirkki4123]

I love this. The part with dead mxy and the lyrics "I'm not afraid to die" hits especially hard for some reason. Amazing work!

[@silversshadow13]

thanks for watching! mxy makes me sad, I just feel bad for the guy. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@roisink3068]

this is genuinely one of my absolute favourite things ever! the song is SO perfect for the plot and the stories you're showing in this, and the juxtaposition of characters and what they've done/what they're hiding is great!! it makes me massively emotional for the entire plot and characters its just,,, so good. also i've mentioned before but the different appearance you give mxy!wwx is SO perfect i love him to bits!

[@silversshadow13]

thanks for watching! I really like this song and it was oddly fitting - so I didn't really have a choice, lol. everyone in mdzs is hiding something, so it was fun to show this. I'm happy you like my mxy!wwx design.

[@888Awesomenes888]

the lyrics fIT SO WELL this is beautifully made i LOVE this
i absolutely LOVE how you draw wwx's fluffy hair its the BEST i love how you do all their hair but esp floof wwx lmao

[@silversshadow13]

thanks for watching! the floofy hair is so much fun to draw

Whoa the person with the yellow ribbon in their hair? At 2:10 and other parts of the video?
Edit- think that's nie huaisang

[@silversshadow13]

yep! that's him, it's kind of a mix of the donghua design and some fanart I've seen

[@wenning4935]

Wow, this makes me pity Mo Xuanyu. That's...wow. Now I feel bad, but I still wouldn't change it to have Wei Wuxian.

[@silversshadow13]

thanks for watching! I'm very fond of mo xuanyu, despite him not really having a defined character. so I like to try and include him in videos sometimes, but yeah, I still love wei wuxian and am happy he's our protagonist
