Hark an Art

I’ve been reading Unsounded since whenever chapter 4 originally came out (maybe 2012?? horrors abound thinking on it too long) and couldn’t be more thrilled to commemorate that decade plus reading experience with this little tribute animatic!

Song is King and Lionheart by Of Monsters And Men (Straight up when I realized how well this song fit I ended up pacing my workplace for 30 minutes just listening to the song on loop and working the animatic out in my head like a prophet experiencing visions haha)

All animation done in Clip Studio Paint (over the course of like 4 straight days ha h a procrastination is a hell of a drug)

Fun fact: did you know I've actually made something for each one of unsounded's now 6 fanworks contests? They read like a bit of an artistic time capsule stretching back nearly 10 years now hahaha - I admit many of them I whipped together fairly quickly, so it was nice to sit down and actually spend some real time on a piece - given the number of hours of entertainment the comic has provided seems only fair!

good ol old bad perspective art from nine years ago, how time flies lol

actually while we're going down memory lane I found this from 20fuckin13?? This is an impressive one because this Must have been from my old bamboo tablet days and I'm 90% sure this was drawn in pen and then scanned in to be colored haha, it's like an archeological relic - I have the fuzziest memory of struggling a lot with drawing a sitting pose I liked and I feel like there's a Real chance I had one of my friends in high school hold that pose while I sketched or something 🤔

it's kinda fun seeing them side by side like this, makes it look like a storyboard wall~

see if you can spot all the chapter coverpage references and panel redraws!

Finally here's all the profile shots side-by-side - throughout the animatic I wanted a recurring motif to be sette and duane facing each other, so that when they finally broke that wall and ran to embrace in the final shots it'd be a fun little endcap :)

(my one regret is I couldn't keep the orientation consistent with sette on the left and duane on the right, but the composition of the final shots was so action focused flipping them became more complicated, so it stays the outlier it is)
