We Were Born to Ship Victuri!

Drew these two for pride month and forgot to upload it. ;3

(along with Kenji Miyamoto of course) 

Jeffrey tweeted:  Shooting a movie on the ice tonight in 🗾.  Lobby call was at 19:30 and my drop off time is 29:50 aka 6am.  #needmorecoffee

According to twitter user kobutane1129: Tonight Jeff Buttle was recording from 7:30 pm to 6:00 am in the morning at the Chiba Aquarink, which they chartered for use that night. They were filming choreography for two dimensional characters. 

Kenji was reported to have been filmed working on YOI at the same rink recently. 

Note the tape on his arm - in the official footage from recording the choreography for the yoi TV anime (which came with the Japanese DVDs), Miyamoto (the original choreographer) was wearing this:

They’re both taped up on one side of the body (I think this is to make it easier for the animators who use them as references to tell which arm/leg is left and which is right, but I don’t have a confirmation for this).

And here’s some more thoughts from Jeffrey himself:

Oh, and here are the drawings and signatures by Kubo and Yamamoto, which can be found near the entrance of Chiba Aquarink - dated for the beginning of May 2018, likely when they began filming Miyamoto’s choreography. What else could they be doing there?

For those who don’t know (which included me until a moment ago lol), Jeffrey choreographed programs for all of these real life skaters:

A lot of big names there. Not to mention he choreographed Yuzuru’s Parisian Walkways - probably my favorite SP ever.

So yeah. Once again it looks like yoi is attempting to do one of the greatest collabs ever and it’s exciting stuff. (Infinity War who)

As for predicted release dates: I think accio makes a good point, but it’s also important to consider that the movie will likely have less skating and less programs overall than the TV anime, so no more of the “animating 20+ different skating programs for a 12 episode anime” madness, hopefully.

At the same time, animating the Stammi Vicino program from episode 1 apparently took them like 3 months, so less programs doesn’t necessarily equal faster release/less work.

Anyway, with this, official movie news being announced at Yuri on Concert in Osaka on July 1st sound more likely than before. Don’t get your hopes up too high, but if they’re already recording choreography then they’re pretty far in the production process. The original anime was officially announced March 2016, when they were still shooting the choreography, like accio mentioned.

29/11/2017 💙 Happy Birthday Yuuri

Happy First Anniversary, Yuri on Ice!!!

Hello there!

Haven’t been here for a while because life’s been pretty crazy last months. Here’s a little status update to let you know that I’m still here:

1. I’ve been diagnosed with depression and PTSD. Currently I’m receiving a therapy and taking ADs. Lost 6kg.

2. Working like crazy on commissions. But the circumstances (my family & my mental condition) are forcing me to move out from my house and move in to another city. So, in need of addittional money (all money from prev. commissions are spent for therapy) I will have to re-open commissions and take some more.

3. So, as you can see I’m in a harsh situation right now. But I’m fighting!

If you wish to help me, you may consider donating me a couple dollars or buy a print from me.
