Thinking about Pomni's episode 2 nightmare of being thrown away and forgotten, & the Pomni-Caine parallels.

Caine is not so happy about it

“An eternal night, without a thought or a dream, awaited her: she had no soul, and now she could never win one."

I was thinking about the parallels between Caine and the original Little Mermaid fairytale the other day [a “soulless” nonhuman creature is fixated on the human world but unable to enter it, obsesses over human artifacts, becomes self-destructively desperate to be loved by humans, fears facing an empty eternity of separation away from the humans, but fails to win their love, at a terrible cost to themselves, etc] and this set of quote animations was the result. I just really like Caine’s secret hobby.

Good to see you, Caine.

I'm fascinated by how the animators for TADC handle Caine's impossible anatomy so well. There's so much to balance and they've somehow engineered a solution for his expressions to hold during speech.

I also traced Caine answering the phone from episode 4 to demonstrate his phonemes and mouth shapes.

Quiet Time

There is a specific reason behind this composition.

While the vertical format is great for smartphone screens, I also wanted to use negative space to create a distinct mood.

I believe that negative space can express a character's inner emotions. In this piece, the character is small, and the background takes up about 80% of the canvas. By drawing the character so small, I can evoke a sense of loneliness and solitude.

Another key point is the placement of the cloud shadows. I intentionally kept Caine out of the shadow. You can see the boundary between the light and the cloud shadow. I used this high contrast to make the character stand out and emphasize their presence.

Finally, let us look at Caine's angle. I purposely hid Caine's face and positioned them to show their back. If their expression were visible, this artwork would probably feel cute rather than lonely. I enjoy drawing figures from angles where you cannot see their faces. This approach leaves room for viewers to wonder what the character is thinking.

I hope you enjoy discovering these little details and techniques that I put into my everyday artwork💡

Some alt fits for Caine!

I've been making a collection of Caine's appearances in the TADC manga for the archive I'm making, and can I just say, I love how he gets so many outfits in Japanese promos?? These are so cute çwç

I don’t think we ever heard a genuine laugh from Caine before, it’s always like- exaggerated or for show. (Not complaining, I find it endearing and funny)

That’s what made me think of this idea. It makes sense for this particular Caine to take on more human attributes. :)

I'm SLEEPY I should be heading to CLASS right now but I wanted to finish this because this is more important to me 😹 Caine was more important I promise. I don't exactly know what this means, I was sad when I came up with the idea 🐈 I'm finally going to see the movie today and I don't know a thing, I'm really happy about that, whatever happens I'm going to cope by eating tons of ice cream because dessert is one of the few things I actually enjoy eating (not good at all) and I should draw Caine eating ice cream next!!!!!!
