"My Heart...Bum Bum"

Chapter 1: "Prologue"

Finally, progress! Yay!

closeups + bag charms!! (Shoutout hijack server one time for suggesting charms for everyone mwah)

I’m figuring out prints rn but trust this will be included in my first launch! 🥰

(and ofc plz no reposts of this work!! Or I die (half joke))

“You stepped on my foot.”

“…my apologies, how can I make amends?”

shot progression, character sheets, initial color script/thumbnails/sketches, and some of the backgrounds from the animated teaser i did for the @jayvikwedding zine!

outfit sheets representing different sections of the zine: proposal, ceremony, honeymoon. i prioritized a more simplified art style for the sake of feasibility. i was most nervous about animating their leg braces bc it needs to have consistent volume/form during any movements like kneeling.

main backgrounds for the different sections, these were my faves out of all of them. i also had to develop a style guide for myself and @inhonoredglory to maintain a consistent coloring style (ty glory for helping me color some of the bgs!)

color script, storyboard thumbnails, and initial sketch for the ceremony outfits. this entire film was produced in the span of 5 months, but technically 2 if i were to exclude the many days i took breaks since i was working on other zines too.

i have to thank glory for encouraging me to apply to this zine since i was initially on the fence for joining. making an animation is a huge time commitment! but also making one for a zine is extremely rare, so why not do it? i think i'm content with how the ani turned out? not entirely proud bc there was life stuff happening + residual feelings of burnout after recently graduating from uni + working on other ppl's projects while making this, so at times it made me feel like the quality in this ani isn't representative of what i CAN do and what i CAN animate. but i have to let that go and let it be. so long as others enjoyed it, and brought people to consider purchasing from this charity zine (esp since it's for PCRF!!), then that's fine with me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

once again, thank you to the mods for entrusting me and my vision for this animation, and huge thanks to chibi inu/doré for composing such an ethereal and beautiful music and sound. i was blown away each time we sent each other progress updates, and our pieces really complement one another!

Writer: So, how gay is this episode?

Did you know I have a new book out? (and it's my first prose novel???)

Did you know that once again, it's based on something I posted to Tumblr forever ago?

It's true!

Twelve! Years! Later!! Here we are!!!!!
