THIS STUNNING OMG??? The lighting and the subtle movements are just SOOO impressive, I don't even know where to begin, this is just a pure masterpiece !!!
Oh my goodness! Does that ending mean Grian still ends up jumping from Monopoly Mountain, causing Martyn to win 3rd Life? That's super interesting! Especially when you know Martyn was thinking of betraying Ren himself if it was just the two of them at the end. But having him get revenge for Ren by killing Grian when Martyn originally tried to get revenge by killing Scar for killing Ren in 3rd Life is a really cool parallel!
This was wonderfully done! The colors truly stood out in this piece! Great job! :D
yep! we actually joked that martyn being devastated is the most unrealistic aspect of the au and irl he would be mad he couldnt kill ren pfft
@cocoabats Haha! That's so funny (and true)!
Well, he was thinking of betraying him, yet was so devastated when Ren died in front of him that it caused a shard to appear on Martyn's cheek from the tear he had shed. Such an odd man Lol
Hmm... I wonder if the shard still appears on his cheek in this au, even though he won...
@@LunaTiger95 ohhhh a very interesting thought, there would be a lot of changes to the watcher lore in general probably since he won the first one
@@cocoabats Right? Would the Watchers still try to manipulate him or would they choose a different target?
@@cocoabats wait is watcher lore canon to pwh? Cause I was assuming it wasn’t due to Grian’s character here not falling in line with his reason for being there in watcher lore.
oh. my god. my writer brain is CHURNING. this is absolutely stunning and I am obsessed???? the FEELINGS???? Martyn looking at Grian and seeing the echo of Scar in the look in his eyes? knowing the wrath of the desert still hasn't finished, because as long as either Scar or Grian is alive their wrath will continue?? Grian standing still and letting Martyn kill him knowing he's done all he can to avenge Scar??? returning to the desert to die a final time???? dude. I am like actually in love with this
HOLY CRAP I was breath taken from the very beginning! I let out an audible "Oh my god" of excitement when Grian glanced at Martyn and Scar's smile with a mirroring expression appeared. I LOVE IT. Him getting close with the dog warts people and then taking revenge omg!! I didn't expect to grow so attached to Grian and Martyn in this AU, lol. The little moments of Grian's wings, cloak, and Marty's band are awesome, stunning work! I'll be rewatching this one, the art work is inspiring and I adore this AU so much. Desert duo is everything to me
THIS IS AMAZING!! Your painting is wonderful, and the story itself is so good. the colors too???? lovely! but im insane over the end... with the grian and martyn hug with a stab wound in grian's back... then grian walking away and _apparently jumping off of the cliff that he does in 3rd???_ like. oh my god im going insane. he brought pain and sorrow to martyn in revenge for the loss of scar, and as such he gave martyn back the only thing he could... the victory.... they quite literally never left the desert, and martyn could never be rid of the crown...
THE SWORDS. THE SWORDS !!!! 1:58 THEY'RE BLACK, ARE THEY *THE* NETHERITE SWORDS ??? DID MARTYN LOOT SCAR'S ????? HOW TRAGIC IS THAT !! ALSO !!!! 0:51 MARTYN USING A DOGWARTS FLAG AS A SUPPORT BLANKET !!!! AND GRIAN KEEPING IT FOR THE REST OF THE ANIMATIC !!!!!!!!! Omg, this. I am so normal about this. Not only did these details make me go insane but each scene is so BEAUTIFUL ! 3:16 This !! This frame specifically !! You can so clearly see how much love went into it, ahhh !!! I've only heard about this AU in passing before so viewing this as an introduction to it gave it SO MUCH JUSTICE, amazing ! In love ! The frame with Grian having got his revenge had me so excited too !! What splendid work !! :DDD
Do you know how confused I was witnessing this for the first time not noticing AU in the title? Martyn handing the cloak to G, odd, oh the flashback to him and BigB eating cookies, makes sense, former allies and what not. He joined Dogwarts?? It only made sense after I read the description! I'm an idiot aren't I? XD Then I got to rewatch and truly get to witness the magestics of this animatic. Seriously, WOW, just WOW! The scenery, the angst, the "lost love" as Scar said in G's oddible podcast. You've done a tremendous job and I hope every single life member gets to watch this too because it is awesome!
The idea that martyn wins 3rd life opens up an au where grian wins limited life. Also amazing animation.
Ok, so- i found this and was like, "Omg, this is amazing?" But i hadnt read the fic so i was so confused so I went and read it and came back and it is 10x better. But even without context i could read what was happening so well. You did an amazing job with this. ❤
This gave me, actual chills. Three months paid off, absolutely incredible work.
This is absolute stunning!!
Oh I don't have enough word to describe how gorgeous this is
You nailed it!! I didn't expected Martyn to be the winner? at the end
OH MAN
THIS IS GOOD
WOW!!!! This is my absolute favourite life series animation. Everything about this is just beautiful, the way you use colours and lighting is just absolutely gorgeous, and I love designs for the medieval/fantasy-esque outfits that everyone is wearing. I could praise this masterpiece for hours!!
Read the au last night. I enjoyed it so much... I don't read a lot of fanfics, but this was AMAZING. I read Ours Poetica and Passerine, but neither had touched me the way Pale White Horse did. I nearly cried once reading it. It was the fact that Martyn's focus, the idea in his head, that Grian would be free after Scar died, completely blinded him from the fact that Grian had been standing by Scar's side since the very beginning.
This animation was also wonderful. Well done. I can only imagine how many frames this took you. I love every bit of it.
YOO THIS IS SO GOODD! The composition and colors are gorgeous, and your puppet animation is so good that it adds so much to all of this!! So much skill!
Outstanding, amazing, we love to see it! I got actual chills while watching it :0 also seeing Grian with dogwarts the only thing I was thinking was “they don’t know.. they don’t know..” like I was just sat there waiting for that betrayal. And the pay off was incredible
The subtle movements makes everything look so alive
Oh my GOD I wish I had found this sooner!! I got huge chills when it switched from the timelapse to that first frame with Grian, and the whole rest of the video gasping and gawking at the absolute gorgeous artwork displayed here. The story telling was so clear and so impactful, I was hooked the entire time. God this is an amazing video. Fantastic work!
This is absolutely STUNNING. The backgrounds and the colors are so well done. This is amazing and just chilling. I got chills oh my gosh this is just amazing
Oh my- this is amazing! I love your art style, the detail and fragility of the scenes. I don't yet know about the AU, but it sure made me cry. You're amazing!!
WHOA!! This is absolutely stunning! I love your art style - it really fits with the Oh Hellos' music and the Life series as well! The way you blend colors is so satisfying to look at and you do a lovely job with painting scenery! Your tweening is so smooth and satisfying to watch, as well - I especially love how you tween wings! Amazing job with this :D
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! In case you cant tell im freaking out. This is a masterpeice. Everything, from the coloring to the suble movements to one of my favorite songs (amazing music tatse btw) is absolutely phenomenal. This makes me want to be good at art. Absolutely knocked it out of the park, may you succeed in everything you do, and thank you for this gift of an animatic.
This is so stunning. You are an incredible artist and the amount of work that's gone into this is so evident. Phenomenally done. I can't wait to watch this over and over again and go increasingly more insane over it.
Oh. My. God. This. Is. So. Chilling. I. Love. This.
Gosh this is beautiful! The painting style and colours are absolutely stunning!
Literally in shock i don’t know what to say but this is absolutely wonderful?? Like its so beautiful!! I want to eat it
Omg I looooooove the way you use color!!!!!
this is Stunning and i Love your use of saturated and desaturated colors, i am also in love with this au!!!!! it's cool to see the underrated blue sword boys alliance be explored in such a beautiful way :')
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ILUFDJKSB
I've been following the AU on Tumblr for a while, I'm pretty sure I've seen this animatic before but I didn't comment for whatever reason - it's INCREDIBLEE
your art is some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen, the little movements work perfectly, the frames you chose go perfectly with the words ("it was a pale white horse...")... and the story is incredible
basically AAA IT'S PERFECT
(also that frame with the hand symbol on Martyn's cloak right after ren has died... aughhh (pos))
been following the development of this au ever since i saw the first comic strip! i'm a big fan
I saw this a month or two ago and thought it was cool, then i read the fic. I am forever scared. Also the ending? Like Grian fell off the cliff anyway? Heartbreaking. Also your art is incredible, 5 stars!
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen omg
Just had the song come up on shuffle and I felt it obligatory to come rewatch this and gosh, the "with a crooked smile" frame stills hits so bad. Just how great is it to have the song be directly linked to this animatic in my head now haha, you've made an impact for sure.
Ohhhhhh my god. Losing my mind. Biting kicking screaming.
I'm never going to be able to listen to this song the same way again, will I.
Excuse me? No no… one does not casually just make a masterpiece as such-
THIS IS AMAZING OHMYGOODD EVERY FRAME IS JUST RAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
the way you portrait the story is sooo well done you can feel and understand everything ilove it !! dude its incredible
I’ll be honest I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve watched this and I don’t regret each time I decide to watch it
THIS IS SO GOOD???? AHH I'm eating this entire video up like a whole meal
Back again, still insane. I still feel like I can't breathe while watching this. It's like being put until a spell for three minutes and twenty nine seconds.

Okay okay okay OKAY!!
Nearly five months late to this but WOW
Your animation style is incredible, your expressions and use of color are *chef's kiss* IMMACULATE!
The "With a Crooked Smile" scene?? You can so clearly see that Grian is smiling even without seeing his mouth because of how you echoed Scar and WOWWWWWWWW I CAN'TTT!!
I need more of this AU. I adore that it seems to be Martyn and Grian centric, I think they have such a unique relationship and it's a shame there isn't more works focused on them.
Beautifully done. To you and everyone else who helped write the AU. Consider me hooked. I see there's a fic mentioned in the description, and I'm very tempted to write my own tbh (if that's cool).
10/10, absolutely brilliant, 5 out of 5 stars, like button smashed, subscribed.
I love this so much the art is so good!

Wow, this is so beautiful. I gasped out loud at Grian beheading Ren, such a good scene
I keep thinking about this 😩 like damn. Gosh the part at the end where grian is mirroring scar and the crooked smile. I'm obsessed. *swears like a sailor in my own mind*
help I keep coming back to rewatch this. I get *chills* every single time, this really is beautifully done
I do not have the freaking words. This was such an experience. Your style is so beautiful. Tears came to my eyes at the beauty of it. The colors, the palettes, the sheer beauty of the characters and shots. This is magnificent and so moving.
