Hey everyone. I know i'm slightly cheating by doing this but i'm like 2 people away from hitting 100 followers here on tumblr. This has been one of the most productive days i've had in a while and i think chilling out with @mrmattimation def helped. The first three images are all thumbnail rough sketches from the first scene of underline:golden flowers by @sureisdusty and @ifellforundertale. The bottom right picture is a original drawing i'm working on for asriel/chara. Im trying to figure out what to add to it but thought i'd share a w.i.p piece. On a serious personal note. I want to thank every indivual who sent me their support and love to me. Telling me that i can do this. I've learned so much in almost a years time its very scary. I'm mainly doing underline ova for myself but i hope you all can wait a while. I promise if you think glitchtale is amazing animated (which it is) then i promise you i'm going to blow your expectations out of the water. Once again thank you all for the amazing support. Special thanks to all my friends on discord who are with me everystep of the way.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNDERLINE

@sureisdusty @ifellforundertale @littlegrumblranna @underlineau

One year to the day a comic series would be created that would change the aspect of my life and my goals bringing me back to the wonderful world of Animation. Underline has hit their one year anniversary with too many panels/pages to honestly count. The fact that there was SO MUCH content released from this 3 person team in the span of a year is seriously incredible especially for the circumstances that most of the information had to be dug out from the game itself. Their hard work and Dedication is Incredible and honestly is inhuman too me.

While my initial plan was to have a Animated sequence of the Golden flowers cover page released on this day. I was unable to reach my goal  but i’m not upset (As if this series doesn’t do it enough to me) I’ve been steadily improving my skills and trying to climb the ladder of drawing/Animation and some film cinematography.  However I do have a present i can at least share right here and right now. During my time for the last two months i’ve been studying storyboarding and improving my art at the same time. It’s been tough on some days more then others but i’ll make it. My present is the first two scenes presented in a storyboard format.I still have a long way before i can turn all of this into a animatic and eventually a animation  but i haven’t given up on this and with the kindness this team has given me from the first day i ever picked up a pencil to the day i bought my tablet, I steadily improve and will make this a very memorable animation.

This first page is the opening scene of the animation which covers the first 5 panels of the comic. Adaptation is hard as  you have to consider which direction the camera is facing.

This Second page is a very rough attempt at building a opening sequence with title cards and all.  (This isn’t in the original comic pages but i learned that i have to add/take away in some cases)

*note these pages are not final and can be removed or changed at any given time*

The third page is at the park where chara and their mom are admiring the flowers. While the character design isn’t there (You can’t see their faces) I’m more concerned about getting the scene  correct so when i do this digitally it becomes a lot easier for me and i know which direction i want to go. 

~Conclusion~

I want to say thank you again to dusty/tem and anna for having faith in me. When i had nothing to start from. No prior skill and just being a amazing friend to a die hard fan. Here is to your success and Here is to underline!

So it’s 12/12/2016. Can’t believe we’re so close to the end of the year. Anyways I don’t have anything new that has been purchased come in the mail with the exception of Drawwith jaaza’s new book which has been really need to go over. I got a few more courses downloaded onto my desktop that helps towards learning animation and i’ve learned new stuff between now and november. Since i started learning to draw all those months ago i’ve made some real incredible progress. My first picture (which was a trace) is still here on my tumblr. Look it up if your curious. What’s planned for next month. well. I don’t know if i’ll make it in time (75%) says yes but on Jan 13th, 2017 @UnderlineAU hits their one year anniversary of breaking peoples hearts and giving us some of the best heartfelt moments on this side of undertale that i can remember. I’ve been working to improve my drawings for ANIMATION and come next month i hope i can at least show what i have learned. Stay tuned.

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.
