5 June - Jonathan might not be able to send letters for a while (he's busy)
continuing my yearly 5 June entry artworks, I've tried my hand at another animation! You can see DD2025's one here.

these are part of an animatic summarising Dracula, which you can watch here (new readers beware; it has spoilers for the entire book!)
My entry for the Another Eden Art contest 2026! Wanted to do smth to celebrate the Main Story finally concluding (MAJOR spoilers for Part 1 & Chap 122 though). I'm so grateful for the Koike Producer Award!!
DRAWING ROOM - The Westenra house is furnished pleasantly, as you would expect of well-to-do family like theirs. Mrs. Westenra had pointed out the antiques in the drawing room with pride, before excusing herself for other matters. Leaving you and Miss Westenra alone.
Sounds of servants bustling about seep through even the thick wooden doors. You are reminded of how close it is to lunchtime. You are also reminded that this makes your continued presence even more obstrusive.
Noises of clinking cutlery disturb the otherwise increasingly strained silence between the two of you.
LUCY WESTENRA - "Dr. Seward?" The concern in her voice cuts through your thoughts. She busies herself by smoothing down her skirts, allowing you to come out of the anxious state you've worked yourself into.
YOU - Obstrusive? No, the lovely Miss Westenra could never be so unhospitable. To think of her as such would be to insult her.
PROFESSOR'S PET - Regardless friend John, I suggest that you act soon.
1. - "Apologies Miss Westenra." (Sit on your hat.)
2. - [REACTION SPEED: Challenging] (-1 Not very cool) "Apologies Miss Westenra." (DON'T sit on your hat.)
3. - All I want to do is act normal. Be at ease. A *cool* man. (Start juggling your lancet.)
4. - I don't want to do *any* of these???
What do you do?
1. - "Apologies Miss Westenra." (Sit on your hat.)
2. - [REACTION SPEED: Challenging] DON'T sit on your hat.
3. - I want to be a *cool* man. (Start juggling your lancet.)
4. - I don't want to do *any* of these???
16 May was a wild time

Fair ladies indeed, Jonathan.

Can you see it? The centre of this mystery.
Ooh man, I love your Crew of Light's first Christmas tags.
Can you imagine... Lucy died on the longest days of the year, when light fades and darkness starts to reign on land and on everyone's souls from losing her. Then a month after Dracula becomes ash the Crew of Light are there together on the longest night of the year and Christmas and near the dawn of a new year. Light starts to slowly but surely come back, as if Quincey made sure of it.
Context: Anon is referring to my tags* on this post... Anon I wanted to reply to this with a comic on Christmas but I took too long,,, consider it a post-Christmas gift:
*My tags: #im damn rusty on the loreTM rn but i do agree arthurll throw a fancy ass celebration and stuff as expected from the lordling #and then once thats done the real celebration of them meeting at the Harkers occurs where its more somber. i imagine the 1st christmas #postDracula is very somber. its barely been a month after all. no parties in the goldaming estate this year im afraid yes the new lord is #just so deeply in mourning isnt he devoted. sitting at the grave of his beloveds every week. hes still in his room now mediating i heard #just as the loneliness finallt gets to arthur hes greeted by a knock at the door. seward has come to find him—one look at his drawn face #is all it takes to know they were both mourning the same ppl. so they go. down to the harkers' where van helsing is alr waiting by the door #chiding them for their lateness ('didnt you receive my telegram' 'that seems to be a recurring problem yes') even as VH's hug warms them up #from their trek through the snow ('oh no we dont need a carriage dears enjoy your christmas'). they become warmer still sitting ard the #hearth with the Harkers similarly harggard yet brightening instantly as the group reunites... and as they exchange stories of the dead #it is as though they still walk amongst them their memory forever kept alive. if 2 ghostly presences watch from the doorway well. #do pardon them. they just missed their family so much.
hi :) I want to get into animating, but I have no clue where to start. What app do you use? And do you have any tips for beginners? Your dracula video was really cool!
Thank you! I'm very much a beginner myself (in fact I didn't even consider my video "animation" but then my art prof jokingly shoulder tapped me so I guess it is), so not good for advice, but I'll link some of the stuff I've referenced so far :) Actual animators, please feel free to chime in!
For my Dracula Daily 2025 video, I used Medibang Paint for illustration and Shotcut for video editing. Medibang isn't the best, but I'm too used to its textbased interface (dislike memorising icons). Meanwhile I'd HIGHLY recommend Shotcut, it's my favourite out of all the vid-editing softwares I've tried (Wondershare Filmora, Kdenlive, Openshot, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve). Premiere Pro was incomprehensible to me (I still haven't learned it), and my almost 5-year old laptop struggles to run DaVinci. Adobe After Effects is popular as well but I've not tried & it's again difficult (for me). Capcut's popular for with beginners for vid-editing, but I've not tried.
Shotcut's learnable for me, and it's opensource! It even has a forum where users can get questions answered! I might make a behind-the-scenes on how I made my DD2025 vid, just so that I don't forget my process. In the end, what you use depends on your needs—Shotcut is sufficient for my current purposes of editing clips + adding very basic effects. I'll probably have ambitions that necessitate more advanced software, but with limited hardware I've no choice but to brute force a workaround elsewhere.
As for tips, I'd say just do things step by step. I understand the ambition to Be Perfect, but remember that there's a learning process, that the 1st project, or even the next 100 projects, would probably be ass to mid. And that's fine! If I was aiming to be a fulltime professional, that's another matter, but right now I'm just learning.
It's also important to have a plan—my DD2025 vid was done mainly to figure out a workflow for Dracula Reanimated. I've settled on "storyboard→ colour thumbnail/storybeats/visdev→rough animation→clean(er) lineart→base colours→lighting and shading→compositing with effects/postproduction", but aha. I need to learn Opentoonz/literally any animation software before trying anything. I've tried Flipaclip, but it's not ideal for me (quite intuitive though, good for making short practice clips like below):
If you've not tried it before, I'd recc doing a storyboard animatic to familiarise yourself with shot composition and vid-editing! My DD2025 vid doesn't really follow convention, but my DD2023 one does, and it was a great learning experience. I still followed a "rough storyboard-> colour/grayscale thumbnails->final renderings->vid-editing" process for DD2025, as seen below (click for higher resolution):
1) Alex Grigg tutorials for animation learning
2) HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN ANIMATED SHOW (every video Gabby Caldera makes is amazing. I found this AFTER I'd finished my DD2025 vid, but was amazed I'd basically followed the same process as him)
3) I Studied Character Design - Here's (almost) EVERYTHING I know.
4) Biggering fan Storyboard (top tier storyboard to me)
5) Let it Go fan storyboard (just great)
6) How I Animate by Myself — Full Process explained!
7) Transformers IDW AMV "Till All Are One" (also top tier animatic, great example for what vid-editing can do without necessarily having to use an animation program)
8) Transformers Megatron AMV (by same person as above, also incredible)
9) Infinite Surface with Jesse Thompson youtube channel—just all around good channel, has a great video on Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein that still has 3 more parts coming!!)
10) The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams (haven't read this but I really should)
This is a non exhaustive list, there's an (almost intimidatingly) endless amt of resources out there.
Most important of all, take breaks, rest your eyes, and don't be too hard on yourself. Good things take time.
