Forestshadow - Ha, Ha. Hello?

The speedpaint for my Coai week drawing is up now!

The music featured in this video is Bonca金柱’s remix of the Detective Conan main theme, which you can find in the video description! It’s SUCH a banger, so please watch the video and give it a listen!

TW Suicide

(It's a rope for symbolism, not literal suicide- but I'm giving a heads up just in case)

Full drawing and explanation under the break

Aaand it's a concept drawing I plan to turn into an illustration!

I was inspired by hagi's drawing on pixiv (ID: 2249236)**

It's representing how each time Conan takes the antidote, the existence of Shinichi fades away more and more (hence the rope which is in the same color as the antidote and the cracks on Shinichi's side)

The idea of Shinichi being pushed out of the picture by himself essentially is just-

THE TRAGEDY!!! I'm here for that angst, being the masochist (and sadist for imagining Shin-chan suffering like that LMAO) I am.

You know the main problem with the “live action” Lion King? Why it looks so lifeless?

The hyper realistic style is actually limiting the animators, rather than freeing them. The style makes it much harder to have memorable character designs and good expressions. Real lions don’t need to do things like emote in a way that humans can understand – but characters in a film do. The original movie was more cartoony not due to animation limitations of the time, but because that style genuinely serves the story better.

To show you what I mean, compare these two shots of Simba, from right after Scar says “run away and never return.”

Here is a clear reaction, with a strong beat for us to connect with before the character makes a decision. Even without any dialogue, even without any context, you can understand the emotion there just by the expression and the mannerisms. Is it realistic? No! He’s bright yellow and has eyebrows. But do we empathize with him? Yes!

Meanwhile, here is… a lion. Turning and running. No expression, no beats, no character moments, nothing. He actually can’t express himself because the animators are locked into the realistic style. If they tried to animate a strong expression as warranted for the scene, it would look terrible. Is it realistic? Hell yeah! Look at those textures! Look at that fur! But do we empathize with him? …nah. Not really.

To conclude: when you’re retelling Hamlet with a bunch of animated lions, cartoonish-ness is your friend, not your enemy.

No one asked and because I have no love of my own DETECTIVE CONAN ICONS

i’m a little late, but i wanted to make a little smth for adventure time’s 10th anniversary! i still remember seeing the commercials announcing this “new show” when I was like 8.. now i’m 18 and i never would’ve thought it would come to be such an important part of the person i have become! thank you for the good memories, i’m honored that i had the opportunity to grow up alongside Finn :’)

Kaito: If I ever hurt Shinichi, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

Kaito: Mostly because Ran would be hunting me down to kill me.

this is so wild

"And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

Unplanned companion to this Murderer, Shinichi Kudo piece from a few days ago.

I'm blaming this one entirely on my brother lmao

I thought I was done with this concept, like I had NO plans to continue representing this idea in this particular aesthetic, but then as we're watching Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small, completely unprompted he hits me with this fuckin curveball:

"Do you think [Shinichi] thinks of himself as a murderer?"

And I just. Man

To be fair... I don't think I'll ever be done with the idea of a more emotionally-driven revenge story than what we're given for Shinichi, and the temptation of vigilantism in his pursuit of it, but I wasn't ready to start thinking about it agaaainnnn

Haha look what I found on IG explore (@mcm)
