Eekonis

✶ Hi i'm Anne / Eekonis!

Right now i‘m working towards becoming a childrens book illustrator, but every few months i also want to dabble into concept art / character design and then i have a crisis about freelancing in general. I love learning about colors, composition, the interplay of textures and silhouette.

I'm bad at getting up early; Sorting things really calms me down (just like puzzing!! My newfound love!); the only game i ever play is pokemon mystery dungeon.

I love animated movies, especially the ones that mix 2D and 3D aimlessly, like Tarzan! <- best movie of all times!!1!1!!!

Things i like drawing:

Sad dudes, like,, really sad. But i let them have happy moments or let them (and myself) suffer in agony. I'm not immune to the wet cat illness.

Uuhh animals. I love drawing them. Always have. (The day i found out about dolphins' true nature my whole world collapsed 💀)

Original art?? Yes, i sometimes even have thoughts of my own :D

Understanding the patterns of story and archetypes is REALLY - I CANNOT SAY IT LOUD ENOUGH - REALLY REALLY HELPFUL for someone who doesn't even understand this world that we live in most of the time.

Like everything is story. Marketing is story. Presentations are story. Movies are obviously story. One piece is story inside of story (i think a lot about one piece when trying to understand the real world aaaa). We project story even onto things that have no inherent story. Two silverfish on my wall, one big one small: silverfish papa showing his son their world (which is my bathroom) -> i cannot kill them with this story in mind.

Story is creating a desire/promise and fulfilling it at the end. Google calendar promises to make your life managable across all devices = acessable. One piece promises that we will see how luffy becomes king of the pirates (this is the promise that keeps viewers watching since ep 1). The beginning of a tiktok showing the result before it shows the process to get to there IS A PROMISE to keep you watching. Social media promises entertainment disguised as information or inspiration but leaves you numb and driveless afterwards. Byt it's easier than actually dojng the things on social media yourself. It's easier than feeling bad for yourself because you can't have the life they have on social media. But because you can live experiences and feelings through other people it is as if you see a glimpse into another reality. Where you are them. Where you have the perfect life in the perfect reel. And everytime it's a different life, a different reel. The unpredictability makes this alternate self dream so addicting.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk, you should watch this ted talk actually:

Like yes, i get that they had to squish a lot of plot in that one episode. I get that production propably didn't go as planned due to what came out about Gaiman.

And yet it could have been more satisfying in any way. I feel like the whole thing was just people talking in different locations. You could say "but that's every series". Yes and in other series it _matters_ what the characters are saying. It matters where they are going. This wasn't subtle, it was right on the nose and crammed. It was a who'd done it "mystery", that tried to fix a breakup, introduce new characters (which i liked but there was no point in bringing them in if the whole thing disappears anyways a few minutes later).
