[S] GHB: Play With The Big Boys
Ойын-сауық
The Grand Highblood is dead, and some young upstart named Makara just took his throne. A perfect time for seadweller nobility with political aspirations to take an unsanctioned friendly informal visit the battleship Dark Carnival and make sure the clowns' new leader knows his place.
.........AKA I've had a Playing With The Big Boys animatic in my head for actual years and this all emerged in two days straight of nonstop clown-drawing. I'm losing my gotdamn mind. Happy Honkoween. Please enjoy my baby. EDIT SORRY FOR REUPLOADING there was a panel where the GHB had no paint on whatsoever and if it was already bothering me now I knew it would be intolerable in a day or two haha.
Warnings, because they go by fast: canon-typical violence and brief flashing lights. I drew everything myself in paint tool sai and compiled it in a free video editing software called Shotcut.

That reveal of THE Grand High Blood was perfect, I approve of this style greatly!
This animatic has lived rent-free in my brain ever since it popped up on my dash earlier today. 100000/10 vibes, I love younger GHB's design looking like Kurloz but feral, i love the design choices you made for trolls in general just. Chefs kiss. I will be watching this on loop for the rest of eternity.
this is GLORIOUS - the timing, the way you doled out the dialogue, its just... !!!!!!!!!!!!
Coming back to Homestuck content, especially yours, is like slipping on a pair of warm fuzzy socks... albeit bloody ones. Happy Honkoween! The GHB still reigns as one of the coolest characters in all of HS.

ahhhhh hooray! :D I have trouble visualizing things instead of just going "ah, and then the vibes are like--" so blocking was definitely one of my challenges, haha. And the STRIFE (actually GRIEF since I believe that's what it says when trolls do it?? I know the first time we see Karkat fight his lusus it says GRIEF so I just went with that) I just love how that shot turned out, and how it kicks off the "oh boy shit's gotten real" part of the video, so I'm tickled to hear somebody comment on it. :D

@@Splickedylit I ALWAYS FORGET IT’S “GRIEF” but you’re absolutely right. fake fan, take me away boys and boy if that ain’t a mood. i barely ever have any idea what’s going on when i’m trying to draw i’m just like well hopefully whatever is in my head is as cool as my brain seems to think it is and hopefully my Hands Can Do It!!! and YOU certainly accomplished cool as hell with this one :0000
Oh, that's clever. I've always loved the song, and this is a clever way to use it! And you've got to savor the reveal there, definitely something incredibly satisfying in the moment. Thank you for making and sharing this cool piece!
THIS IS SO GOOD, I love this song, and never would have thought of playing the dynamic this way, but it works so WELL, and the condesce's face at the end, the whispering crowd of clowns, that curtain reveal, just, oh MAN
OH DANG!!! Splickedylit its SO GOOD to see your content once again outside of tumblr, I took one look at those teeth, eyes and dimples and was like 'SPLICKEDY'S BACK!'. Seriously though, that a cool animatic, I was absolutely not expecting the /grand/ reveal, my jaw dropped. Very much a 'oh, yeah those guys are /doomed/' moment. The GHB was terrifying by comparison and the tiny trolls next to him were a lovely touch! As was his mock-bow to the Condescension at the end. Every time I watch this i notice more details and it's just so, so cool and you can see that it's full of so much love. Fantastic work!!!!!

sldkfj getting completely called out for my love of pointy teeth and dimples lmao. This is fair. I have always held the theory, encouraged by the extra perspective on the GHB's single canon reference, that the Makaras just,,,, are destined to grow up to be Bighuge McLargeclown, and the shot where Kurloz looms out from behind the curtains was,,, so very satisfying, haha. I'm glad you liked it! ^///^

Sorry, I don't check my notifications on here very often! The seadwellers actually do not despite being more central characters--many of the clowns are imported OCs from various fanfiction, so they in fact do. The hype trolls are ancestors of my weird matched troll "twins", Ravell and Raywar Echons--the past/young versions of my invented fleet educators for 1. scriptural exegesis, 2. poisoncraft, and 3. spycraft are all in the background in one or two shots. There are definitely plenty of improvised clowns in a lot of the shots though!
Well done 👍
👀👌
i am literally obsessed with this, would it be alright to make an animatic based on your incredible work, with all due credit?
