“I guess that’s how hustlers work, isn’t it? They lose, and lose, and just when you’re willing to put everything on the line…the trap shuts.”

Tell me, or I will RIP it OUT of you…

Did you ever see a man so beautiful you started crying from like, 58 eyes at once?

(yes, his hair grows but not his beard because of uh….magic)

just the tiniest clip of my favorite part. Final is nine minutes long (phew!) Should be done in two weeks.

Nobody bother me, I’m having enrichment time in my enclosure.

That’s why his hair is so big, it’s full of statements.

“Mahtin, this isn’t right, this isn’t YOU.”

six shots left!!!! Thoughts based on the THREE HOURS I spent drawing Martin saying “I see you” this last stretch will probably take all weekend.

thirdchildart:

Call an ambulance!!

But not for me!

(These are unfinished. I’m around 70% done with the drawings for the sequence! Can’t even guess how long the coloring will take, even if it is all greyscale.)

I know you think you want to be here, I know you think it’s safer…and maybe it is. But we need you. I need you.

“Where are your friends, Archivist?”

A couple people have asked about the stairs/cliffs in this scene and it’s 100% me needing set-design for a creepy shadow!

i see…

I see you, Jon. I see you!

*ringing bell* Jmart angst, get your sad Jmart here!

“I was all on my own.”

“Not anymore…”

The drawing part is FINALLY done!! I’ll take probably a week to add in BGs, fx, and tones. Happy with how it’s turning out!!

This video has been up for 2 seconds before I started kicking myself for not using “Monster Mash” as the music.

tfw you draw fanart so hard it summons an actual rainstorm

“He doesn’t want to see you…”

So uh….I ended up going with a more complex shading style that I planned 🥸 I love how it looks though, so I’m sticking with it!! It will probably take me an extra week though. Tentative finishing date is March 25, I will keep you posted if that changes.

“MARTIN!”

eeheehee, hoohoohoo…

thirdchildart:

eeheehee, hoohoohoo…

“He doesn’t want to see you.”

“Then let me hear that from him!”

“Just go.”

“…make me.”

You know I’ll find him eventually..

And you know I can find you.

Hn.

Thought so.

I’m here, I came for you!

Why?

I thought you might be lost…

Are you real?

YES! Yes, I am! Come on, we’ve got to get out of here!

“This isn’t right, this isn’t you.”

“It is though…”

thirdchildart:

“I really loved you, you know.”

“And…?”

“…Martin’s gone.”

Call an ambulelnce!!

…But not for me.

I found the audio on clock app and made my dreams real

Y'all I don’t think I’ll be done by Tuesday 🥲 BUT I’ll rev up Twitch tomorrow (Monday March 27) and I’ll live stream as race to the finish and color boards in!

twitch.tv/thirdchildart

I’ll start streaming at 1pm PST!

Heyyyy I’m live on twitch rn (monday March 27th) working on Magnus archives fanart! Come ask me questions about working in animation!

Ok! It’s Tuesday March 28th, and I am going to stream for TWELVE HOurs Today. Maybe more!!!! It’s a race to the finish on my Magnus Archives storyboards!

Come hang in the chat, ask a professional director questions about animation, fangirl with me over the Pride and Predjudice shot reference in the JonMartin bit at the end.

twitch.tv/thirdchildart

Stream starts at 10:30 am PST, lasts all day!

Some of my favorite images from boards tonight!! So I’m not gonna finish in time for the @a-mag-a-day 159 read-through but it was a valiant effort!!

12 shots left to color…

I see you, Jon…

I see you!

Ok! We’re at 10 shots left in my Magnus Archives sequence, so I’m going to do another all day twitch stream! Today is THURSDAY, MARCH 30th, and I’ll start at 10:30am PST.

My to-do list includes 7 shots of Jon using spooky beholding powers to compel (then explode) Peter Lukas, and 4 very soft shots of Jon and Martin holding each other.

It’s a chill stream, mostly me quietly working, but as always I love answering questions about art, animation, storyboarding, pitching, all kinds of career stuff. Hope you can stop by!

-SPOILERS!
-Flashing images at 6:53-6:57.

This is my version of episode 159 from The Magnus Archives. Thank you to the friends who cheered me on though the project, the cool folks who hung out with me on twitch, and my awesome sister who is too scared to finish the podcast but will listen to me talk about it for hours on end.

And, of course, thank you to Jonny Sims, Alex Newall, Alasdair Stuart and and the rest of the crew and cast behind TMA (I’m so looking forward to the Magnus Protocol!)

I love animation, I love storyboarding, I love the Magnus Archives.
