All designs, choreography and animation by @savebatsfromscratch (me) in my own interpretation of the text.
I believe that I will be making a video explaining all my creative choices in this video, so stick around for when that happens. :3
Okay, now you see why I couldn't do any of my dang map parts for like forever. 💀

Song: Manic WarLord Mother by HoliznaCC0 The song can be found here, it's free to use music and the artist has some other good ones!: X (Btw there are no lyrics of this song available online. I’m doing my best with what I can hear but I cannot guarantee that they are accurate.)
Program: Turbowarp Bitmap Quotes: Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf. :)
I am not exaggerating when I say this took me forever to make. (Two months with MANY six hour days of animation in them, not to mention my design work and actual interpretation work of the text.)
This is Brecca. He's a lizard boy, based on brown skinks and spotted lizards. He's basically an edgy teen boy kicked out of home for being gay, and forced to a life of crime.
I've been seeing a lot of similar stuff lately around on Tumblr that I really liked and got inspired. So I had to regurgitate all that inspiration somehow. I was really inspired by @cheasegary's fanart of Douru (https://cheasegary.tumblr.com/post/170965837314/originally-supposed-to-be-a-morning-warm-up-but-i) and I wanted a boy who looked good naked and I could draw doing all sorts of aerobics and HIIT type stuff.
I also decided it made more sense for him to have no skin at all and just be covered in brown scales. I'm not happy with the colour though, it still looks a little too yellow but I'll have to keep searching for a pencil that's closer to the type of tan I want.
