Ummm. My only advice is that I hope so much IMing and crap has made you able to speed read lol;;;. Some of it goes by a wee bit quick.
An animation to wish a happy birthday!
This is also sort of like a small tribute to say thank you : D
Thanks to *Go-Devil-Dante weve all experienced a little more life in the DN community and fanart itself XD.
I was introduced to DN 2 ½ years ago through some of Cazs doujinshi pages XD, and shes always found ways to make me laugh with all of her fanart and animations XD. Shes one of the reasons I got even more interested in animating too.
Thanks for everything Caz! : D
Tehe, this present is somewhat belated (I meant to give it to her last year... OTL; )
I told her I wanted to make a picture for her so I made her tell me her favorite bishounen. I just left out that it was a moving picture (VAGUE). So, Caz if you were wondering why the hell this took so long thats why XD;;;.
Id never worked on such a long and large flash with so many characters and the small plot I had for it kept changing and getting longer. Plus now I dont even know 100% what the plot is XD. I changed it so much. LOL, So thinking I could finish it in a week (it was originally a much smaller idea) I ended up realizing how much work I had ahead of me and how much I wanted to do with it. Im so used to finishing Flash animations in 1-3 days working almost non-stop (with time for sleep of course : D) that I didnt give myself enough time.
Once it reached the length of twice that of my past longest animations it felt like I was making a small episode ;;;. LOL. With school and classes along with life, that took its toll and I had only been able to work on it properly a few times throughout the year. Once summer came again I was able to finally add the finishing work to it. @w@g (added over half during the summer). It feels odd having work from a year ago in the same " picture" 'w'a. LOL, You can probably see my improvement.
~This was a great experience too *w*g ♥ I learned a lot~
READ THIS AFTER YOU WATCH IT.
Umm; @u@ one good thing about having to put it on partial hold during the school year was that I was actually able to watch BLEACH when it came on TV and I got to know the characters and their personalities. Plus being able to see them in action made them easier to draw~. I finally got to know what they acted like and looked like all around.
It was a lot of fun to draw Renji! ♥HIS HAIR IS SO RED *u*. One thing I like about making these animations is that it really helps me to figure out how the characters are drawn (for fanart purposes and such) and I can remember them more easily. B8< Ichigos hair was a betch to start with but it got a better as I went along *w*b! Short spiky hair can be awful. Except Hisagis. Hes so pretty .
Kenpachi was so hard to draw at first, the brute. Lol hes huge. And I dont work with his face type often, but it was great practice <3. Theyre all so much fun to drawww *w*/ ♥♥!!!!!
LOL, if youre wondering where Kyo came from I got the idea to add him from s bishi pyramid. I added Haru because I needed someone to provoke Kyo and I thought he was bishi enough XD. I also turned to the pyramid when I wanted to add more characters but I couldnt figure out which ones. SNAPE. I love Snape and it was a good excuse to draw him. I knew I wanted to put him in somewhere.
Wowzers its been about two years since my last flash animation.
I wanted to add voices too, but when I kept adding characters it felt like it would be pointless. First of all if it was only me they would all end up sounding the same, even with my best man voice. Lol, WAY more confusing than the color-coded text. Second XD The closest I can get to a convincing male voice is an Englishman (the accent hides my voice lol) and maybe like the 1st KH game Sora age LOL. XD And I dont have any guy friends who could voice act for it at all. Sooo its a silent film. And I thought loud sound-fx would seem odd with no dialogue xD.
This is the biggest freaking crossover Ive ever made lol ♥
Lol P.S. The flower pot Kyo broke was Jins XD
P.S.S. If you really want to listen to it with music put some on in the bg. C|
GOOD LORD THIS IS ENDLESS
[edit: Snape apparated XD for those who keep wondering.]
There may be something about it in the description, but I'd say it probably took 3-4 weeks. Its been a long while since I made this but I remember spending at least two straight weeks on it before I finished.
