#rip technoblade

And here it is! My first fully completed Procreate Dreams animation. I used audio from one of Technoblade’s more famous rants during his Potato War series. I love Technoblade and miss him every day, so I hope that I was able to capture the magic of his energy in my animation.

I animated the roughs and drew the backgrounds in Procreate, but then I imported that into Dreams to do all the cleanup. It runs at 24 fps, but there’s a lot of variations to spice it up in there.

I wanted to really challenge myself so there’s a LOT going on in this short 9 second clip. There’s a camera move with multiple layers to achieve a subtle parallax scroll, there’s two lighting changes with one being a completely animated shadow layer, and there’s a warp effect on the curtains for when it opens and closes.

There’s still a lot that could be cleaned up. Some of the linework is a little more jittery than I would prefer, and the coloring process was awful. Every color was its own separate layer, which was exhausting to do. I really hope i can figure out a faster and easier way to do the coloring process because that took me over a week to complete! Yikes!

Overall I’m extremely proud of my work here. I’ve been working on this 9 second clip since Dreams released and I really wanted to showcase to everyone just how powerful Dreams is. I know a lot of people were complaining about it when it released and I wanted to do something to help reorient people’s expectations. I genuinely cannot believe that I did all of this on my iPad!

If anyone has any questions or would like to see a breakdown of this animation, please feel free to contact me!

You are missed every year even more <3

I hope he knows his dad is still talking lovingly about him. I hope he knows his dad basically adopted the community. I hope he knows everyone remembers him fondly. I hope he knows he will forever be immortalized in a minecraft movie. I bet he'd brag about it if he could.

I hope he knows he had an impact on people and his influence isnt lost. And that his community loves him still.

The hound army really should get more love (also yes I designed each 48 hounds)

His power in this AU is blood manipulation!! Classic I know, but its just too good to not use! He is part pigin, but got the piglin genes were not strong so he ended up looking very human.

He uses that to his advantage though, as he hides his tusks with his boar mask-- also just uses them to be twice as terrifying lol! (He went out hunting with Phil to get that skull)
