Norah’s Ataraxia (WIP)

Introducing my Junior Semester project work in progress, Norah’s Ataraxia!

Logline/Preview: Norah is unable to fit into the current societal norms of beauty and becomes frustrated, but finds peace and confidence within her artistic craft.

Summary:  Once upon a time, there was a bat named Norah who loved fashion. Every day she would take time to put together the right outfit, from her big batty ears to her toes. But one day, there was a new fashion trend on the rise. Long, narrow sleeves. The long narrow sleeves didn’t work for Norah. She had wings! Because of the new trend, Norah was scared to go outside. She didn’t want to be judged or ridiculed, because she couldn’t wear the newest fashion. She went to her favorite store, but all they had now was narrow sleeves! She watched in horror as all the little paws and legs slipped through the tiny tubes of cloth without a problem. She ran home in despair, angrily ripping through her mounds of clothes until she reached the bottom, pausing in shock. She found her mother’s old sewing machine. She had created so many outfits out of existing fashion, but what if she made her own? She ran to the fabric store, grabbing rolls of fabric, and then ran home, spending all into the night crafting her new clothes. She fell in love with her creation, her own pair of overalls. Ever since then, she wore her clothes with confidence, hand-sewing each of her garments, and showing her craft with pride.

This relates to the struggle of body positivity in a society that increasingly shames even those of average weight.

Currently I am in the process of modeling Norah, the main character, and two side characters. Next I will be modeling the environments, such as the street, her apartment, and a clothing store.

More to come soon!

boi i dont know why but uploading on tumblr is hell for me lol I enjoy making designs for various figures in Greek Mythology and calling it fleshing out the world for my Junior Project haha

ALRIGHT LETS DO THIS ONE LAST TIME

Phaethon || Φαεθων

his cousin is the more famous Phaethon, the one who didn’t listen to his dad and rode the chariot of the Sun.

Younger brother of Hesperus, part of the Astra Planeta

Not really featured much in the story but hey why not draw him???

Tithonus || Τιθωνός

his boo forgot to give him eternal youth so he grew up and became a cricket

A Prince of Troy, and I didn’t know this, but he’s related to THE Ganymede. honestly the princes of Troy were just really frickin pretty

He had 2 sons with rosy Eos, Memnon and Emathion, both were kings of Aethiopia

bruh like Memnon was t h e shit like the gods freakin loved him he was probably the golden child at any of the family parties lol

i should defo design Memnon because he’s just a really cool character and its just such a shame that we lost the details of his death like p l e a s e invent time travel so we can save Aethiopis

also not particularly relevant to my main project but since he was the boo of the main character’s mom,,,,

Kore and Despoina || Persephone || Περσεφονη

Everyone’s favorite flower child uwu

eyoooo props to Lore Olympus for including the translation of her name as “bringer of death” because how fuckin badass is that lets go my Iron Queen of the shadessss

since drawing this I’ve added a wreath of flowers and crystals because the Infernal Juno needs a crown

yo can we talk about how w i l d her myths are?? specifically her conception and maybe depending on your sources, the birth of her son Zagreus and how he was brutally ripped apart because that certainly is a trip and a half

bro like Persephone lore is absolutely wild because like her husband they worshipped her but didn’t dare speak her name out of fear and reverence

again not really super important to the main story, but like the ever present ads for Lore Olympus got me hankerin for some good ol Dis content

Eros || Ερως

SCREAMS I actually mc frickin love how chaotic Eros is

the version I decided to go with is the Protogenoi Eros so instead of being the son of Aphrodite, he’s actually just really good friends with her

Bruh like there are so many different versions of his conception. Son of Ares/Aphrodite, son of Uranus/Aphrodite, immaculate conception!Aphrodite, son of Zephyr/Iris, etc.

tea though I like the idea of a primordial god retiring and just having fun watching people’s love lifes

also oh my god im just thinking about the Eros/Psyche myth and just thinking of the oldest creature in existence falling truly in love for the first time and holy crap im getting the dokidokis

Actually has an appearance in the story! (Maybe) God of love n e e d s to be in a love story boi

His bffl/boss also has beef with the main character’s mama so,,,

Diamond Heart

My Junior Project Fall 2025!

This story is in 1970 Chicago, a group of mafia men is trying to kidnap a blind woman named Alora, for rumor has it that God itself gave her a heart pure like a diamond. Her father, whom she does not know of, hires two men named Blake and Alejandro to protect her while traveling to New York to the United Kingdom to start over with a new identity.

JUNIOR PROJECT PROGRESS UPDATE

I am currently behind on my Junior project, as attempting to keep up with classes outside of studio has rendered me very tired and stressed- however, I am still pursuing this project. I feel as though I have a very good grasp of toon boom's Storyboard Pro, as I have completed two short animatics with it from my own head- one for my final film, and another for fun. As for storyboarding sequences from movies, I have chosen certain segments from 7 films that I would like to analyze and board, as shown below. I have not boarded all of these sequences, but I have studied them and taken notes on their shot composition, angles, and other elements of cinematography.

I would like to analyze these 7, as I feel boarding these sequences is entirely doable, but as long as I stick to a strict schedule and only do these 7. I would like to do more if I end up getting ahead. 10 is my stretch goal, but these 7 are the ones that I think would provide me with the most effective vehicle for learning. WHY WERE THESE FILMS CHOSEN? AVENGERS: Analyzing a fairly "mainstream" movie that focuses on wide shots, crowd shots, and low angles.

BATMAN: Puts the characters up close to the viewer, which side of the screen the characters are on changes who has control of the conversation.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE: A highly complex action sequence, I have no experience boarding this sort of thing and I would like to learn.

FANTASTIC MR. FOX: This film was completely storyboarded beforehand, much like all of Wes Anderson's films, and I thought analyzing the quick cuts, flat angles, and montage-esque sequences would be interesting.

HALLOWEEN: I think the initial POV shot is very interesting and would be a fun challenge to board.

SUSPIRIA: This film is shot in a very claustrophobic way, with a suffocating atmosphere, and an almost warped sense of spatial awareness. I felt as though it would be fascinating to explore via storyboarding.
