On the topic of internal PMVs/Animatics for my OCs, I'm truly having one of those nights where EVERY song could be something for my mean girls (Venus, Neptune, and Mars)
Bits of my Panic Omens story + the PMV I was working on forever ago! Long because I love my babies<3
I started working on a PMV for my story Panic Omens to the Nightmare Time theme song by Starkid a couple years ago and since I can no longer work on it I figured I'd share some frames + explanations.
I finished the lineart for a few of them, but none of them are colored and the last few don't even have that-
Also obligatory "they're named after the western zodiac but that doesn't influence too much about them."
Our story starts with Virgo running for her life- her best friend close behind her, but not in the way you'd expect. This best friend, Libra, lifts her by the throat (in the story its by the collar, but who's keeping track). They want her dead- and they're just about to get it.
Flash forward-!
Virgo's on mortal's Earth trying to get Aquarius to understand the situation. Since she doesn't have wings, it's on them to fly up to the sky islands and warn the others that Libra's now an enemy.
I was gonna have the dogtags transparently in the foreground- Pisces gives them to Virgo later in the story as a gift for Aquarius, but doesn't know what's come of them yet.
Aries and Capricorn aren't being particularly cooperative, but they're Virgo's only option. Pisces, shown in the second option, could've gone up as well if given the chance. She doesn't- staying with Virgo to try to work things out with Aries and Capricorn.
I have her covering her eyes because she's struggling to believe what's truly going on. The Pisces image is part of the "Look / Be- / -hind / you" sequence of the song and I wanted to have Virgo's process in getting back to the surface (and peoples' reactions to hearing Libra's an enemy) as it went on.
The sequence has Virgo with her back to the camera, arriving on the sky islands, and slowly turning back towards the camera with each syllable. It shows Aquarius again, Pisces, and then this frame for the final full "Look behind you."
She whips around in surprise only for a hand to land on the back of her shoulder. Libra looks a little different than they did before!
Their eyes have been replaced with a large one in the middle of their head. Virgo flashes back to the beginning-
"When her body went flying to the side, otherwise unharmed, she was too surprised to get a good roll and back to her feet. She laid on the ground, stunned, as Gemini's glow lit up the alley.
Their claws were clasped tightly around Libra's in an attempt to overpower them; the spikes covering their arms glowing in a ray of blues and greens that Virgo had never seen before."
Gemini saves Virgo before Libra can get her, hence starting the story where Virgo scrambles off the island and falls to mortal's Earth below.
This line starts the chorus, "You can run, but are you fast enough?"
We're returning from the flashback now. Just needed that one frame really.
I sure hope things are going well back in the regular timeline-
We've reached the part where everything's sketches but I hope it gets things across still!
Aquarius remembers Pisces in their final moments, being fatally wounded and falling back.
Leo gets stabbed and lives, but Libra hunts and finds him.
The full line (it's a duo of panels, but I've only included the one here because the other's too messy to parse) is "The trail of tears that you will leave me / Will lead me straight to those that fear me."
The way Libra finds him is that they notice that someone's left flowers on Aquarius' body- meaning he can't be far. They use this to find him.
Leo throughout the story is continuously excluded for his previous crimes- betrayal of trust, lack of any proof he cares for anyone other than himself- but throughout the story (and PMV) he follows Virgo and Pisces, keeping an eye on them and even following them up into the sky islands. His care for other people is what lands him in trouble in the first place<3
Also disclaimer that he lives- He isn't doing too well, but he's better off than Aquarius (another thing he can live to regret, yay!)
Now ignoring Leo, who walked into his own open grave, where did things go wrong?
Moving to the end (skipping more quick panels in the PMV that are too messy to include-)
((Gemini was also evil))
Gemini is the one who actually killed Aquarius, though Virgo assumes it was Libra up until she finds out the hard way.
Because Gemini kills someone and Libra doesn't, Gemini is the only one of the two that gets executed at the end of the story.
There are other characters with parts in the story (Sagittarius, Taurus) that don't have parts in the PMV! I only did a PMV for up until the end of the first chorus for the song I was using since it encompassed the story up to the Gemini reveal pretty well!
Anyway thanks for reading my ramblings<3 I'd like to complete this if my hand ever heals, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up. I think it's a fun little thing to have in my files as-is!
