I like how it shows that Mariza doesn't want to be a God, but knows that she doesn't have a choice. While Larus is trying to convince her that being a God is great.

Larus seems to be acting like Mariza's bad influence, telling her all about the wonders of indulging in the luxuries of godhood. He appears to be arrogant, but not in a rude way. It also looks like he sees mortals as beneath him, which feeds into his arrogance. But we also get to see that he feels emotion just like the rest of us, when he seems to be hurt by something Mariza says. That shows us that he might see the people's worship of him as a sort of validation, which may be a hint towards insecurities about who he is, which could then mean his arrogant personality is a front. I love when writers give us these characters that have hidden layers that make them that much more relatable.

Oh this is SO good! You always impress with your ability to show worldbuilding in these animatics! They’re very inspiring!

The expressions!! First thing I noticed was how generally apprehensive Mariza is about this whole thing, while she tries to put on a confident face (and at times she genuinely might feel more confident) the doubt about the whole thing can't help but creep back in. Larus is trying his best from what I can see, but he's aware that it's not quite working out. And when those two seem to be enjoying themselves the energy is so contagious!! I really enjoy this, and while I can't say I fully understand this, I really like what I do get.

Amazing animatic AND a fucking killer bop? Excellent work Shands!!

Man this is truly a character dynamic ever and nobody is allowed to disagree

All your animatics always have this awe factor MMMM inspo bomb every upload 🥺❤❤❤

It's such a cool look how Larus wings act as a overcoat. It makes wings so less obstructive than how their naturally drawn contracted. And seems actually more natural.

I want...no I NEED to see how the goddess of nature looks. That mural with the claws made of tree bark was more than amazing. And the four ram horns with wild puffy hair filled to the brim with flowers that sparkle like stars amidst a noir sea

0:47 Me teaching my brother history

First, more content has been granted, rejoice oh children of ocean idiots. Second a few of the details I really liked, (Note info used in this is from the tumblars which may be out of date to your current itteration in the every changing and evolving story you beautifully weave) The ocean reaching out to catch Miriza as she falls just makes me think moana but with more amnesia. The constant moving and repositioning of her tail is just terrific and the gesturing alongside her hands is just great. The backgrounds are beautiful. The scene changes are smooth and superb. Bartholomew. The look larus gives on the line 'when you're a sham' like theirs just a grain of pain in there put also saddness that there isn't much other way, (eg Ebeko's cult not changing its worship of him from his acedentaly tempermantal early years). On the matter of Ebeko I like how his vissage is quite disimilar to his true form, its fire not Cool magma/obsidian, his worshipers are stuck in the past not his now, also the robes are just perfect for a death cult, the long sleavv ends shortining the hoods that jut out backwards the geometric lines and nature of it just screams cult and its so subtle. Finally the scene at 0:55 showed a face of the sun, if all the other murals are roughly to scale then HOW BIG ARE THEY???!!! I mean the hand was one thing those withered decrepid digits, and the rough scale was eye opening but, just, please I ask little, just knowlege, Please? A dripfead of lore to make me hunger more? To be Breif, OIDHBIneirudsjnhfbidjsnouhsdfjvkjpnWHYISITSOGOOD, Have a nice holiday season whatever that may entail, lovely animation.

Very nice, the animatic flows with the song so well. Great job!👌

Oh my god you’re back on my recommendation page! I love whenever you appear. Your artstyle is brilliant, and the character design is wonderful! Can’t wait to see what’s next

This animation style is really interesting. Only some parts of the main characters are colored, so despite the background is really rich on details, you never lose the characters on the screen. Cool feature - it's good both for the viewer and for the animator (they'd definetly spend much more time on animatics if these were fully in color).

AAAAA THE WALKING ANIMATION AT 0:47 !!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god you've done it again you wonderful wonderful human ❤❤

Can you make a animatic about Mariza and her old crew, because I think it would be cool to see Mariza life before her encounter with Indra

This was literally animated so smoothly for an animatic. Good job!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Worrying, the idea of the "Gods" of both the air and the sea working together and creating religious believes around them. At some point we're gonna see an animatic for "Chruch" by the Fall out Boys that'll show the collapse of their religions. PS: Always a joy seeing your animatics, they are always so pleasant to watch, so vivid with imagination and talent.

HELL YEAH!! Your animatics are always such a bop and candy for the eyes Shands, as always well done

I am absolutely in love with your OCs and their backstories, this is phenomenal! I'm sure you get this a lot but your animatics are a huge inspiration to me, thank you so much for the free happiness!!! ^^

Shandzii, I really love you and your animations!!!😳😳 you inspire me not to give up and most importantly, not to give up when writing the lore of my universe

I will never get over how nicely made your characters are 🎉

Omg i love this- the movements, the line art, the transitions- absolutely love this!

Woah, this is amazing! I love it!! (Also Mariza in the Peter Griffin death pose is hilarious XD)

Ohh, I loved the snappy ending! "If they say I'm a god, then that's what I am," with such an intense look on her face.

Bro you really outdid yourself with this one my guy!

HOLY CRAP, JUST STARTED WATCHING, THIS IS SO SICK

This looks beautiful!! Love Mariza’s tail!

This is such a weird coincidence. I’ve been listening to this song for the past few days! I always love seeing your animatics!

I know your probly not gonna see this but this duo is impecable

The coolest character of the century award goes to...

YES YES YES! Oh my god the backgrounds of this one are so amazing, and it’s all just complimented by how the characters move and interact with it. Also I’m so glad you kept the tail design, it adds a ton to everything! Just amazing, keep it up!!!

I really love all these animatics!! I love the story they're telling (in out of place little parts) and I kinda don't wanna read the stuff in the description cuz I prefer just putting stuff together with the small things I see

NAHH SHANDZII AND ANNAPANTSU IN ONE VIDEO??? I never knew I needed this until now.

this is now marizas canon voice CHANGE MY MIND!!

Ahh this was so cool! Also to whoever guessed it in the community post the other day kudos to you!

I love how you reframed the ending line from cheerful to serious and intimidating. It fits so well!

Can I just say that this story has inspired like half of my OCs and their different things. I love this, and thank you for inspiring me :)

I love the detail you added to Larus: his wings turn into a long, robe-like cape when he’s not flying

I could never understate how much I love these animatics of this OC world y'all have made. I wish I knew, well, everything I could about this world. I get visibly happy whenever I see you post one of these. The characters are so dynamic and have so much personality that I can't stop watching them. I'll probably be watching this one repeatedly for a while as I did with the other two lol. I'm about to go to Melody's Tumblr and read everything I possibly can cause as I was writing this I found out that lore is there. Side note Larus is fun I like his bird friend.
