Images from the Whimsical Wish PV. The art is so cute. Ya Ya chilling on the desk in the second picture is a surprise, he's a bit more unwilling to be silly like that in the episodes XD

Some Whimsical Wish screenshots :D

Finished Whimsical Wish yesterday! Sadly only 8 episodes, I really wish there were more ;;;;;;;;;; Fingers crossed for a season 2 someday! Love the animation style though and this ending song has gone straight to my playlist hehe

Comping Fan Lingxiao's terrible, horrible, no good,very bad day (^v^)

Mean to Vine :(((((

Boom! Another one done! Not a complete scene trace this time, more a mash up of my favourite parts of different shots. Liu Fengmang is probably not on model as a result but I think I got him close enough! Spent too much time deciding what kind of expression he was making with his mouth haha And Xiao Nian gets all the pretty water and rainbow effects I can make cos he deserves it <3

My favourite thing to do as a compositor was try to sneak rainbows into shots when I could >:3

Gods I love these guys. Can't wait to see more of their shenanigans animated when they get around to making season 2. The manhua really didn't let up XD

Never get between a Lingxiao fan and their smuggled catfish.....

And another!!! Decided to go with the evening treatment from episode 12 instead of the dawn treatment at the end of episode 1, mostly cos episode 12 had the backgrounds that worked best XD Have some more cute Susu <3

[talesfromanimation]

And done! Man it feels good to do compositing like this again. Was cheeky and worked on it between gaps in my job, it was too distracting XD Might do a version of this in the dawn palette used at the end of episode 1 when Bai-Ge makes his entrance. (>v<)/

Original ref that is slightly crusty thanks to youtube

Decided to get back into compositing practice after being in a slump for a lil while. Prepare for some screenshot redraw/comps! :D Started with drawing the frame from scratch, now on to after effects!!!

I really hope they make a season 2 for 'the all-devouring whale' donghua cos reading ahead in the manhua has been a blast. The next arc is so fun (>v<) I got some good ideas for art pieces too so will tag for spoilers just in case people decided to give the show a go. Lots of plot stuff happening ehehehe

[talesfromanimation]

The creature of all time <3 I thought Red Thorn already looked pretty goofy in the donghua but comic version is on a whole other level! XD Also for any who finish watching the first season, there's videos on youtube of the comic dubbed and puppet animated that I think go further in the story. It also has a bunch of moments that the anime didnt adapt so well-worth checking out. <3

Donghua version for comparison and cos I needed to see him one more time before bed XD

[talesfromanimation]

Tabbing between these two scenes for art pieces is killing me. Absolute silliness vs absolute despair from the same source ;;;;;;;

How to impress your crush - Smuggle the endangered catfish species that killed him home so that he can form a pact with it a year later when he resurrects! \(>u<)/ 加油！
