Back from my birthday hiatus, and um, wow... was not expecting this kind of overwhelmingly positive reaction to a simple QRT about how we used Dissolve Mode in our BG paintings on Carol and the End of the World (see last image) - since people seemed to have enjoyed that so much, I thought I'd put all the pages of the Carol and the End of the World BG Paint style guide I drafted in one post! TBH I'd been meaning to do this for awhile but kept forgetting since I have it in a different folder than the BG paintings themselves... I believe all the paintings are mine and all the designs are by Alex Myung unless otherwise noted. I wrote this pretty early on pre-vis, so some of these guidelines got a little massaged during production, but the broad strokes are definitely still there! This wasn't the only style guide on the show BTW! A couple of our other leads Alex Myung and Kal Athannassov also put together a BG and Character Design style guide that are super cool - unfortunately I don't have the files myself (nor would I feel comfortable posting work that's not mine) nor do I think they've posted them yet, so if you two were looking for a sign to do so, this is it!! Now you have everything you need to paint like a Caroler - thanks for looking!! Showrunner: @dan-guterman Art direction: @ellemichalka
Continuing on, I also really find Annabelle’s relationship with Benjamin really kinda cute:
I really want some fanart on this soon! (Please like & reblog!)
Headcanons about each Huntrix member
First up, our leader Rumi 💜
-She is the most followed member on all social media platforms
-barley post cause her phone overheats from all the likes
-Last time she tried to do a live on Insta it crashed the app and her phone
-Her hair routine is a government-level secret; Zoey still hasn't figured out what she uses
-keeps every fan letter she ever received(yes even the one from 2019 with sparkles)
-writes poems about Jinu in her notes app at 3AM and refuses for anyone to see them
-is no longer allowed to drive ANYWHERE for personal reasons
-Is actually the oldest (23), but no one ever guesses that—everyone assumes it’s Mira 😭
Next up is our choreographer Mira 💖
-Been dying to get a tattoo but hasn't because the record label said "absolutely not"
-is a world-renowned model and has been in too many fashion shows to count
-showing up to the Met Gala with a sleeping bag was planned, she just didn't expect for it to go viral though
-hates when people lie, she would much rather get mad at the truth instead
-Sometimes joins Zoey insta lives to cause more chaos(then pretends that she wasn't on live)
-has a burner account on insta that she swears no one knows about(both Rumi and Zoey follow her on there)
-somehow the best cook out of all of them
-Is the certified driver if they have to go anywhere
-She’s 21 and absolutely the “calm older sister”—until she isn’t.
Finally, our Maknae Zoeyyy!!💛
-she posts the most on her social media
-usually gets in trouble for going live at terrible moments like when mira and rumi argue
-does rap battles for fun with her fans
-has a drawer full of half-used notebooks, including:
Mira quotes that deserve an Oscar, and ‘Number of times Rumi cried over Jinu this week (updated daily)
-Does TikTok's dances with Bobby and somehow they usually go viral
-Also not allowed to touch the steering wheel, Mira usually just goes "zozo belt on now" in the coldest voice ever, which always works 98% of the time
-Hosted a fake "late night talk show" on her IG stories called “Zoey After Dark”
-She may be the youngest (19), but she has random moments of wisdom that hit like a truck
Group headcanons (cause I said so) 💅🏽
-The girls all have a self-care day that includes lots of face masks, gossip about other K-pop groups, and catching up on K-dramas
-Their group chat name changes every week: ➤ Zoey STOP Going Live → Huntrix Anonymous (We’re Not Okay) → Jinu Said WHAT Now??? → and most recently: Please No One Flirt During Dance Practice 😭
-If one of them cries, all of them cry. Once it happened on stage and they had to take a 5-minute intermission(blame a surprise fan project + Jinu smiling at Rumi in the VIP section)
-Rumi and Mira get weirdly competitive during photo shoots (Zoey records everything and adds TikTok music)
-There’s a “Who’s the Most Famous Today?” whiteboard in their penthouse. Mira wins when a Vogue article drops, Rumi when a quote goes viral, Zoey when she sneezes on TikTok.
-They once had a “no romance for a month” pact. Rumi broke it in 2 days when she blushed at a Jinu post. Zoey documented the downfall in a TikTok trilogy.
-Rumi leaves the group chat every time Mira and Zoey tease her about Jinu. They always add her back in. Every. Single. Time.
OKKKKK that's all I have for now. Keep streaming the movie and a03 writers, PLZ UPDATE UR FANFICS. I'm on my knees. OK BYEEEEEE(in Eda voice) 🩷💜💛.
So I just watched this animated movie on Netflix thinking it would be another cheesy story... but it was much better that I expected. Gorgeous animation, gorgeous art, gorgeous characters and a lot of emotion put into it perhaps it made me cry more than once haha. I loved it and I fell in love with these two so I just had to draw them. 💚
