The Four Interns of the Chaotic Art Department [1/2]
Comic plus long info dump.
YES I FINALLY PUT PJ AND GRAY IN THIS DAMN AU AFTER AFRAID TO PUT THEM IN FOR SO LONG!!
They’re mostly PJ in the comic, due to the quarantine time I got myself become the only one who try to keep the house running and clean with two manbaby that don’t give a fu*k of what going on. So I have to clean up all the mess.
So with that, somehow my inner PJ shine through so much that I say that “IM GONNA MILK ALL OF THIS IN DRAWING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!” So at least I have a ground work of how I at least write PJ and try to be close to his original personality as much as possible. Which I hope I did him justice.
Imagine walk into animation studio and see this fiasco as the first thing.
The most unexpected pair of all in this AU is Pale and Epic!!😂
Pale got into this studio because of Template drag him in. But with Star Sanses Studio end up be a 3D animation studio, an amateur 2D animator as Template and his in-betweener Pale are now in the predicament. Template manage to deal with 3D animation’s motion just fine but deal with all the programming and coding that he not expected yet manage very well. As Pale, who can only show emotion when it at extream and learn quite fast due to his VERY clear mind, got drag to special effect department with Epic from can’t animate expressively. They have somewhat weird father and son bonding mix with memes but at least Pale understand all the anime references that Epic throw at him. Plus they bond over being the one who actually get the job done and who don’t give shit about Error and Ink’s bs😂🤣.
Now here the big chunk of this post yet they actually have a stay shorter than Template and Pale, PJ & Gradient.
PaperJam and Gradient are the resident of Omega Shelter along with Gray’s many “siblings” and the streetener that want to get out of the street to live more peaceful life. PJ is surprisingly very organized for a born streetener and how is body is form from ink-like substance from being a Skelinkton tend to leave some mark everywhere (at least he have control over it now). He self taught traditional art, (all of his known academic knowledge by himself) and tend to study design in his spare time that he have a somewhat good knowledge.
PJ got drag into studio’s business because Gradient too nervous to apply internship with Core and very close to deadline. Gray still unsure about what he want to do with his art ability (illustration or animation or graphic design) and still have no confidence of this own art ability despise being very good at it. PJ was like “just shut up and go, or you never know what you want to do” because he just really tired of his roommate overthink when he go to sleep in middle of the night.
He thought just gonna drop Gray and go back to the Omega Shelter, and see the chaos on one day that Core is not working, plus meet Ink and Error again after 10 years. He just can’t take it from how unbalanced and chaos in the studio and take it in his own hand to say in the studio to called out the bs that Error and ink did.
So why are they here in this AU?
But what did they do to the “not really” plot of this AU?
Surprisingly a lot, they are like a reflection of each other.
Template and Error learn about their hypocrites from each other, Template learn to work with people he don’t like that will not ruined the work that he like to do. As Error learn... can’t say it yet😉.
Pale and Gradient make Ink to deal with his own past self, as Gradient learn to be more confident with his artwork more and networking lead him to what he really want to do.
Template and Ink learn to open up to people and understand them from each other.
The pair learn to compromise from PJ, and PJ learn to deal with his past from them.
Error & Ink really don’t know how to do except do their job, and now have to deal with intern who is not part of the industry (some still unsure) by have to teach them even how horrible communication they have.
They still stay as themselves but slowly changing because of their surroundings and unknowingly learn something from the interns, as the interns learn the fundamentals of what to work as animator.
Well it been a long post, part(?) 2 is coming right up.
