I'm fascinated by how the animators for TADC handle Caine's impossible anatomy so well. There's so much to balance and they've somehow engineered a solution for his expressions to hold during speech.
I also traced Caine answering the phone from episode 4 to demonstrate his phonemes and mouth shapes.

Sorry for the tag, Feel free to ignore this guys, I was just tagged in this and I figured I'd play along.
Please keep interacting with this post because when I come to tumblr to procrastinate, this shows up again in my notifications and guilts me into writing again
there was a point in 2024 where I had semi-memorized all 5 episodes of the show and to pass the time at my slow retail job i tallied everyone's line counts for each episode (bc I was simultaneously hyperfixated on indie voiceover/voiceover rates). While I'm like 95% sure tadc was an hourly based gig rather than a per-line one, it was kinda fun to ponder
if i can find the notepad, i'll follow up with a picture of the tally
Here's the third comic in the Open World AU. I decided it would be more interesting if the cast also had some limited ability to conjure and worldcraft, so I wanted to explore that. This comic is both the longest I've done yet and is the most involved painting-wise. I hope it was worth the wait!
"popular thing bad" is such a nothing/incurious take, but also i've never felt less interested in checking something out than i do with Heated Rivalry now bc of the sheer number of ppl who were talking abt it. this is probably how ppl felt/feel about tadc...
It started as just a forbidden love NagiHono Patapon AU because I was playing Patapon 1 and was like "hmmm,,, how can I make this about NagiHono" but then I found the LocoRoco soundtrack on Spotify and I skimmed through longplays of LocoRoco 1 and 2
And now we have LocoRoco SakiMai in this AU too HSNDHDB
The lore isn't 1-to-1 with in-game lore I'm a little loose with the details and I've tweaked things to my liking dhdjhdbdf
More info under the cut
Sumipon (Nagisa): She's a decorated Rarepon (unspecified, she's kind of like a Mogyoon? But with a pinch of beetle) warrior. Her role is like a mix of Dekapon and Tatepon, leaning moreso towards Tatepon, but she doesn't use a shield. She's very skilled, and excels in combat! But despite her status and her many fans, she's more of a loner, a hopeless romantic waiting to find the right person for her...
General Yukiton (Honoka): She basically takes up Gong the Hawkeye's role in this AU! Yukiton is a young prodigy. Through her brilliant tactics and deadly precision in battle, she quickly rose through Zigoton ranks, eventually making her way all the way up to the prestigious role of General. Yukiton is harsh on her subordinates, but her battle strategies are nigh foolproof. Things change when a certain Patapon manages to fight on equal footing with her...
Priestess Hikari: Not much info on her, she's basically Meden in this AU, a guardian figure looking after the rest of the tribe.
I don't have a particular character for Hatapon yet, but I know that other Verone students are Patapon as well, and so far I've got Fuji-P as a Yumipon, Shiho as either a Megapon or a Kibapon, and Rina as a Yaripon.
Hiyuja (Saki) & Mijo (Mai): In this AU, the LocoRoco are nature spirits that protect the planet and can influence the weather and cause natural disasters. They're carefree and they love to sing! They have the same abilities as actual LocoRoco too, they can grow in size by eating and split into an army of little blobs, but they have the added ability of being able to take on a humanoid form when they're at a decent size. Though unlike LocoRoco, their size doesn't eally reset overtime, so they have *tons* of little blobs all scattered around the world that keep watch over nature, and when they all gather into a huge titan is when they can use their full power to cause natural disasters and such!
Kaoru and Michiru are LocoRoco, too, and they're spirits of the stars and moon, respectively
Sumipon doesn't take them seriously when she meets Hiyuja for the first few times, but the second they find the Verve Drum (Don Drum) and become capable of summoning the spirits' aid through the miracles, is when Sumipon realizes just why the nature spirits are so revered lmao
The basic story of this AU is that Sumipon and Yukiton get into frequent clashes, scarring each other's eyes in the process, but the second they remove each other's masks is when they start falling in love, and Sumipon falls wayyy harder, to the point where she starts abandoning the Patapon tribe to go on reckless solo raids of the Zigoton empire, though getting frighteningly far every time, and even gets captured on purpose just to see Yukiton meet her in prison before breaking out and escaping. She's crazy HSKDHDJNDD
I imagine the two slowly come to a mutual understanding and Yukiton soon admits that she'd rather watch the world be destroyed due to the Patapon reaching Earthend than stand another minute of fighting Sumipon, so they run away together ๐
There's an alternate ending where they both kill each other Shakespearean tragedy style but I prefer the happy ending shndbdd
Maybe losing her greatest general is what sends Queen Kharma into a rage and pushes her to sell her soul LMAO
Anyway that's all I've got for them, enjoy the art shdbdbhd
