Unsounded's first book just finished after about 15 years of updates and I knew I wanted to do something Fun to celebrate, so thought I'd share the animatic I whipped together for the final fanworks contest!
It's got some Significant Spoilers in it so go read Unsounded here before you watch it! It might take a couple days but the read is Well Worth it if you've never checked it out~ :))
I threw some other little bonus thoughts and comments under the cut just for fun, enjoy!
I’ve been reading Unsounded since whenever chapter 4 originally came out (maybe 2012?? horrors abound thinking on it too long) and couldn’t be more thrilled to commemorate that decade plus reading experience with this little tribute animatic!
Song is King and Lionheart by Of Monsters And Men (Straight up when I realized how well this song fit I ended up pacing my workplace for 30 minutes just listening to the song on loop and working the animatic out in my head like a prophet experiencing visions haha)
All animation done in Clip Studio Paint (over the course of like 4 straight days ha h a procrastination is a hell of a drug)
Fun fact: did you know I've actually made something for each one of unsounded's now 6 fanworks contests? They read like a bit of an artistic time capsule stretching back nearly 10 years now hahaha - I admit many of them I whipped together fairly quickly, so it was nice to sit down and actually spend some real time on a piece - given the number of hours of entertainment the comic has provided seems only fair!
good ol old bad perspective art from nine years ago, how time flies lol
actually while we're going down memory lane I found this from 20fuckin13?? This is an impressive one because this Must have been from my old bamboo tablet days and I'm 90% sure this was drawn in pen and then scanned in to be colored haha, it's like an archeological relic - I have the fuzziest memory of struggling a lot with drawing a sitting pose I liked and I feel like there's a Real chance I had one of my friends in high school hold that pose while I sketched or something 🤔
From this to a 4 minute animatic, an artistic journey capped by Sette and Duane friendship haha
Sette, you might recall that the the last time I asked you about something like this, you ate my letter. This time I've pre-seasoned the paper with salt and vinegar for your dining pleasure. Anyway, how are you feeling about what your relationship with your Da actually is, these days?
You fap-about, shut up! Ask a better question! Are you a skull? BLUH.
I got showed on the box where all our letters go and each gets a number and I DESERVE THE MOST NUMBERS! I'm the boss and the boss should have the highest numbers! Jivi's are so low and pathetic, I'm not gonna let him answer no more and he won't want to when he sees how high me number's gone. That Crescian's gonna cry into his bedclothes knowing FACTUALLY and for FINAL that he can't never hope to surpass me in the Sette Gang when Sette Frummagem alone has the adoration of the masses.
If you were stoopid and erred and accidentally in your erring stoopidness put a number to Jivi, go take it back. TAKE IT BACK. Then, go and make Duane's numbers lower! DO IT! DO IT NOW RIGHT NOW! And give it to me! Make that number so high or I won't let anyone else answer!
To celebrate Unsounded's finished first arch, here's a master repost of some of silly fanart draws that I still think are kinda'alright haha
Can you guess who my favorite characters are??
Also go check out Unsounded now if you haven't gotten the chance to yet! There's also a kickstarter happening to get the comic in-real-physical form! Good stuff friends, good stuff
