Underline: Golden Flowers OVA Progress (Still in beta)
howdy all. (god that was a terrible greeting) If your on this page then you know Ive been working tirelessly trying to improve both my drawing and getting my animation skills up to Par for the realization of the Underline comic series. Since i started this project some time ago (Although most of it has been towards learning how to draw in the first place...go figure.....pfffft lmao) my passion for this has not died. Believe it or not I’m actually almost finished with my first sketchbook i ever started with and I’ll share a little video of it once i do complete it. It may not be much to all of you but it is a big deal for me since i started from literally scratch. Anyways on to the progress at hand
Things I have completed for Underline: Golden Flowers
1. Went through each individual page and turned the words into a script on word document format. (I will be doing this for the main arc as well)
2. I have Finalized a soundtrack that i feel is perfect enough to capture the feelings of each scene. I know @Starbotdubs did a dub on it (By the way would be honored to have you two on board for this when the time comes) but if i can help it, I do not want to copy their musical choices out of respect for them. (Seriously you guys rock).
While it does not contain to the initial work i have bought the following
A:Draw Animation by Paul Hardman. (Suggested by @hatbeemo)
B. The Master Guide to Drawing Anime by Christopher Hart.
C. Manga for the Beginner by Christopher Hart.
D. The Animators Survival Kit by Richard williams (Who Framed Roger Rabbit)
E. The Animators Eye by Francis Glebis (The Lion King, Fantasia & Aladdin).
F: My MonoPrice Digital Tablet.
(Special Thanks to @sureisdusty & @ifellforundertale for your help in choosing one as well as your constant support and believing in me with no credentials to my name)
Now I’m in the process of learning storyboard and eventually a Animatic. I hope to use the knowledge of both of these to help improve my drawings as well as my camera work and Timing etc. Flash Animations Take a long time to get done believe me I know as well as @camilaart (Creator of Glitchtale) but i know once i get there this will be a dream come true for me to animate a full series project that people of the undertale fanbase will enjoy and love. I hope you all stay patient with me and i thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your positive and countless support.
I also want to give a special thanks to the discord group lead by @marshmallowfoodshops. The entire team there has been very helpful and friendly towards me. I hope one day i can return that kindness ten fold.
