A Stormy Night — Animatic (Patreon)

I’ve had this little animation idea in my head for a looong time, and I finally decided to at least put it down as an animatic!

This is something I’d really love to add to my animation queue eventually. I have a particular soft spot for this idea because I love showing this gentler side of Ruan, he can be a pretty tough guy, but this side of him is one of my favorites.

As you can see, the animatic is still VERY rough haha. I usually don’t polish my animatics too much when I already have a clear picture of the scene in my head. The timing will probably change too. I want to let some moments breathe a little more, and I still want to explore how Ruan uses his powers here.

Also, I did NOT expect to feel so bad for the little bird while drawing this 😭 I kept going “THE BABY!! THE BABY!!” and reassuring my own drawing that everything was going to be okay hahaha.

Anyway, I thought it was finally time to share this little idea with you guys. I hope you enjoy this early peek at it! And thank you, as always, for being here while I slowly bring all these animations to life. 💖
