Volta Do Mar, or Return from the Sea.
2022 Summary of Art Eca (an interlude)
idk if this goes without saying or not but i just cannot get excited over the prospect of an aa7 because i don’t WANT another sequel to the series: i want a proper sequel to aa4. i think aa4 is absolutely fucking incredible and it’s just such a disservice to take its narrative follow it up with fucking dual destinies. aa4’s ending is ambiguous yet hopeful in a really perfect way, and i had a LOT of questions after playing besides the main takeaway of “will the jurist system help fix the corrupted state of the law in this universe?”: how does klavier handle losing kristoph? will the sequels expand on trucy’s feelings, especially after her parallel to edgeworth after phoenix states that he’s “the only one who truly knows how [they] feel on the inside”? how do apollo and trucy react to finding out about each other? when will lamiroir reunite with her children? what do kristoph’s black psyche-locks mean? how does valant and trucy’s relationship change after the events of turnabout succession? aa4 is so good BECAUSE it leaves you wanting so much more with its cast, because its story isn’t done being TOLD yet. and then along came dual destinies and quite literally ruined everything
a cool comic i made for oumazine quite a while ago
THE MAP IS OUT!! Here's my individual part for it, along with my credit image! I'm so happy to have been able to work with such cool collaborators on this project, this was so fun! :D <33
WIP and fun facts below the cut!
First pass of my part!
General Notes: - All of us had a cut-off frame so Sammy (our MAP host!) had space to transition shots! the stick in my cut-off is my oc Lixy <3 - As always, I don't have an actual animation program. Each frame of this was individually drawn in Clip Studio, saved as PNGs, and meticulously arranged in a video editing software. it took a while and a headache. the software crashed 4 times hdkjh </3 - The process was sketching, lining, then compiling it all together! Line art took the most time (because i don't like lineart hkjdh) - Fun fact, all of the sketches (seen in the wip above) were all drawn on my first plane ride ever :> <3 - The background is Alan's animation program that I took from a screenshot from AVA 6 :> I didn't want to do anything too complex for it ;w; <3 - All of the slide transitions were done manually! It may look like tweening, but I don't have a program that can do tweening lmao :'> <3 Each of the slidings was individually 3-6 frames of moving them across the frame, a single frame of stretch for movement, then a settling frame before the next stick slid in. - Green is doing air guitar as they slide in :3 <3 - My Blue design has a hat that can magically change into a Witch hat (when potion making), Chef hat (when cooking) or Sunhat (when gardening <33 - Purple looks nervous after he crashes into everyone, like they're expecting to be in trouble, but smiles and laughs when everyone else does. You can see Blue with their hands up, reassuring Purple. - Originally Yellow didn't move as much in the final laugh scene, but I saw the first frame of the person after me (@/sleptonce!) which had Yellow in a little crouch :> i adjusted Yellow to match the next frame a little better! - Also Yellow's hair is flipped from the way I usually draw it because I felt it worked better this way hgkjh <3 - (I totally didn't forget my Second's design has green eyes and had to edit those frames very quickly hfkjh <33) - The only colors that aren't the stick's original colors are when Blue's hat falls on Purple, and Red's yellow bandana <3 (These are also the only movement animation in the blinking sequence!) - Adding Alan's cursor was a literal last minute decision, he was never in any of the sketches, I literally added him in 15 minutes before submitting my part hgkjh <33 I think after my shot, Alan helps gently pick them up <3 - My suit in the credits is mostly red and orange, because my favorite sticks are Red and Second! <3 The rainbow cape reflects how I enjoy the color gang the most though hkjdh <33
Thanks for reading!! :D <33
