*COUGH CcOugh* * WHEEZE*

My favorite thing about Venom (2018) is Eddie’s reaction to crazy shit.

When Venom, this homicidal alien he has known for like 20 minutes and who has just used his body to slaughter some fools is like “we should rip all their heads off lol” he’s just like,,, “why?????????”

Then when Venom crashes the cars and he is like Woah I’m Not Dead™ he is just like “you know that was pretty cool” and gets so distracted he gets hit by a car

And then after learning Venom, who he got immediately attached to, was killing him, and getting kidnapped by Drake, Drake whips out a whole ass other fucking symbiote. Eddie both didn’t know he existed and knows what symbiotes are capable of. This is deadly and shocking. And he’s just like “HOLY FUCK THAT THINGS UGLY”

Then he’s back with Venom who just told him they have basically 0% chance of beating Drake&Riot. Eddie is convinced he’s going to die. And then his entire character motivation for being a hero is “fuck it”

What a relatable disaster of a human I love him he’s the most realistic protagonist I’ve seen in so long

Some doodle i did about this AU that i've been thinking about...

what are some really important pointers you have for people who want to make animatics?

this is probably gonna be a bit long so just a heads up i guess?? also please note im not a student for anything in art and am not a professional i’m just giving out my opinions on this and things based on my own experience.

do thumbnailing 

you don’t always have to start it with the actual frame and the drawing for thumbnailing doesn’t have to be good. this is just to let you have a feel of what you want for the final frame. it also doesn’t have to be digital you can just doodle it in some paper you found lying about. this is also good for parts of your animatics where there’s lots of movement(like dancing!) 

thumbnailing is also good for parts where you have multiple ideas! doodle all your possible ideas and see which one is best for that scene

perspective/angled shots

these are super cool and can help with the atmosphere of the scene! for example:

they also just look really nice and interesting and fun

landscapes and backgrounds

you can’t always have just a bunch of people gathered around all in one frame, you gotta show the setting of the whole thing

this also allows for your characters to move around more! don’t always make them flat like this though(this doesn’t mean you can’t do this, just don’t do it all the time)

grab a ruler or if you don’t have one like me, zoom out completely and try to make straight lines(they don’t rlly have to be perfectly straight though! but don’t make them too slanted either)

and if you have sai, free deform it and set the perspective to 100% and then just mess around with it!

also remember to add buildings/furniture/etc if needed!!

do dynamic poses

these help the facial expressions of the character! a lot of people seem to just concentrate on just the face for emotion but body language is also important!

you can throw in some perspective into this as well!

make a LOT of frames

as mentioned above, movement is very exciting!! and you can show movement with those frames. it doesn’t even have to be a lot of movement like one second they were there and now they’re in an entirely different spot, subtle movement is also very good! 

try not to reuse the same frame too much! it might end up looking very awkward 

also try not to just erase and add things to the body of a character as if it were some kind of paper doll stuck to a wall like this:

it’ll end up looking very stiff and awkward. instead, just redraw the character completely! make them move around a bit

you don’t always have to make things super clean

you don’t have to do clean lineart, just doodle a frame and make it easy to read for everyone on what’s happening. especially because drawing hundreds of frames is already so time consuming and not to mention stressful. do yourself a favor and not tire yourself out more than you should.

that’s kind of all the pointers i have. hope this helps!!!

conspiracy theories reblog if u agree

Pirates are cool they’re like ocean cowboys

I wonder why shes so good with invisible people (click on it….)

Ok, so, the gang is having a meeting...

…and Freddy’s showing off his glowing head…

…with all his usual defiance for the laws of nature.

Meanwhile, Scooby – after chillin’ out in front of Shaggy and Velma…

…promptly makes them disappear into nothingness. 

However, not to be outdone…

…Velma, who lurked in front of Scooby, Shaggy, and Fred…

…condemns them all to the ethereal void without hesitation.

Y’know, I wasn’t expecting a Scooby-Doo episode to have so much existential terror, but I’m totally down with it.
