I've always thought of the Lonely as a metafor for depression - you don't even need to be alone, the feeling of isolation is enough. But it's not always indifference and emptiness - sometimes it's a storm and a fight for control in one's life and no one on the deck who can help. I also really liked how you did the waves! Such a good work!

Thank you! Martin being alone on the ship as a metaphor for his struggle against The Lonely was one of the very first concepts I thought of for this animatic, and I’m glad that this idea stuck around after all these months! I’m really happy that you enjoyed the animatic ❤️

It's literal supernatural depression. Nice.

The moment where Martin is in his office alone and the ship is in the portrait on the wall, but after Jon is left standing in there by himself the ship is gone and all that’s left in the painting is the waves... that’s brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I love this whole animatic and you’ve made such incredible connections and art.

Fans: *crying for Martin* Me, also crying: gentle voiced old man i love you yes he's evil no i don't care

It does help me cope with the pandemic thinking it's just one massive ritual of the Lonely. If I'm going to suffer I'd at least like it to be feeding a dread power. (Also BEAUTIFUL art btw. One of the BEST MAG animatics out there)

This is the comment that convinced me to listen to tma

I made a simple connection seeing the end of this animatic. It's fitting that The Archivist, the one with the power to see all is the one that helps Martin finally feel seen.

''Life is like an elevator. In happy moments it goes up, when you're in bad moments it goes down. Depression is when you're trapped at the basement, and when you try to call the maintenance guy, you realize YOU'RE the maintenance guy''. -Bref, episode 80 kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqua2c-xf6nFY6g.html Idk, it made me think of that quote

I love the coffin changing into the bed and back, it reminds you that from Martin's perspective it was extremely likely Jon would die

I heard this song a couple months ago and immediately thought of the tma connection!! You delivered it so well!!

This is true! I was the cabin

This was so beautiful, I loved the web references with the string binding him to the steering wheel, and especially the incredible ocean you drew. Outstanding

I don't know anything about the Magnus Archives franchise however this animatic alone is making me want to dive in with such excitement as to who these characters are. I'm in love with your style!!!

omg I love the moment when the coffin flashes to Jon in hospital, just illustrating perfectly Martin's thoughts in that moment

ok this whole thing is gorgeous and heartbreaking but i *really* love how you drew the waves-- there's a real sense of movement there despite the fact that all we're seeing is still frames, it's really impressive

That was amazing! Congratulations! We can really feel Martin's headspace in your illustrations! And the allegory of the ship in a bottle is perfect for the circumstances. (I loved how even when he's in the "real world", there is still a picture of a boat in his office) And everything, from the grief or Tim and Sasha, then their photo floating in the sea with only Martin visible, to the tomb (of his mother I guess) and then the parallel between the hospital bed and the coffin, emphasizing how much Martin was scared to loose Jon AGAIN, ... *chef kiss*

I legit started crying at the Burried/coma parallel!! Thank you so much for this, it is absolutely awesome!!

This hurts. Doesnt help i HAVE martin living in my head now

I saw this animatic because my sister recommended the song to me. It was what first got me into the Magnus archives, and I’m now listening to season five. I came back and rewatched this video today, and I now understand everything and it’s absolutely beautiful. I can’t even describe how much i love this. Thank you so much for introducing me to TMA and for this incredible art.

That moment with The Buried and all of the tapes was perfect. This whole thing is gorgeous ♥️

I'm not crying, I have dust in my eyes. Nothing to do with it.

this is my favorite magnus archives animatic and that’s saying a lot. it absolutely gorgeously captures the entire feeling of s4 and martin’s turmoil. this is actually what i found first, bc i liked the song and then looked up tma, so thank you, because this got me into one of the best things ever

Hi just wanted to say I loved what you did with Martin's eyes! At the beginning his eyes looked so vibrant compared to the rest that I actually predicted the greying eyes change back to blue at the "I see you" part!!!! All of the details in this video are immaculate

Holy....Just this is azing. The song is a perfect choice, Martin fighting for control internally/mentally and then how that manifests in his daily life. This whole season was so rough for him. I love all the fog effects and how you drew Peter and his confrontation with Jon.

PLS i was watching this to take a quick break from homework and ended up bawling my eyes out, this was too good 😭😭😭

This is the best TMA animatic I've ever seen. That's it. Everyone else, go home. The designs, the interpretation, the link between the Lonely and a sinking ship... Masterpiece, okay?

GOD THIS AMAZING WHAT THE- THIS BROUGHT ME TO TEARS, THE ART, THE PARALLELS, THE EDITING, ITS ALL JUST SO PERFECT. This is seriously one of my favorite TMA animatics out there now. The song you chose was perfect and everything just fit so smoothly.

the first time i watched this animatics it was a while since i listened to the Magnus Archives, so i didn't get a lot of the subtle hints that i only just caught on now that i've relistened to Season 4. It is BEAUTIFUL

I quite literally gasped when I saw this pop up in my recommended feed! I love this song and TMA so much and the way you drew this is literally stunning. I love the focus placed on Martin's eyes/vision throughout, your drawings of the ocean are so well done, and every single frame in this is genuinely a masterpiece. This is genuinely probably my favourite animatic, not just for TMA, and I will be rewatching it a ton because I think it's utterly brilliant!

YEAH!!!!! Someone used this song for TMA!! This whole thing was an amazing work of art! All the moments just built up really well.

When the coffin switched to the hospital bed I literally *gasped*

This is amazing! I especially loved the part where it flashes from Jon in the coffin to him in the coma, super cool!

I have to add my voice to the chorus of praise this has received. It's one of the best animatics I have ever seen. Period. The way you show The Lonely and how it effects Martin throughout season 4 is heart wrenching and beautiful. I've watched this fifteen times today. There aren't enough words to articulate how _good_ it is.

Kicking myself for not watching this sooner, this is superb

I love how the image at 1:29 looks, also I really like how the lonely takes shape. The switching between the coffin and coma Jon is also really cool and I love the parallels that are drawn there (really made me think).

As ridiculous as it sound this animatic is actually the reason I got into tma, I really liked the song, so I checked to see if there were any animatics or stuff made with the song. I saw this and after checking tma out, gave it a try. Now it's around 7 months later and I finished the show on Christmas. Thanks for making this, I wouldn't how found this show otherwise :)

This animatic is absolutely gorgeous-- the ship/ocean scenes are incredibly impressive, and I love all the detail in the way you draw all the characters as well as just the way the lonely looks curling around Martin. It's also incredibly impressive thematically, the song really works for this and the flashing between the coma and the coffin was perfect, especially that moment where Martin is kneeling in front of the coffin with the recorders almost as though he's praying. Just amazing! (also this is yet another awesome song ive discovered through tma animatics so thank u)

Whoa, moons above! This is gorgeous. The waves and storm, the ship, the raw feeling strained into threads woven throughout the song and art- it was all so BEAUTIFUL.

This is the one that got me into the Magnus Archives in the first place. I both thank you and hate you for this amazing journey. Your art is brilliant.

its so good! i especially love the bit with the photo in the ocean

i'm fucking ugly crying this stabbed me right through the heart

I just noticed the claws on Daisy! Awesome!

This song fits him so well. This is incredible!

My favorite song at the moment

This song is one of my favorites and to see it paired with Martin, the Lonely, and with the most gorgeous art I've ever seen, was overwhelming. It is perfect and I don't know how you brought me to tears with it

I- I’ve been listening to this song and thinking it had tma vibes and here this is so beautifully executed I love

This animatic broke into my house burned my favorite things in front of me before beating me up and then leaving my house through a window it didn't even bother to open (just used something heavy) all while flipping me off. How dare you. Also its beautiful and I love it.

3:08 gave me actual chills. holy shit

oh my god I love this so much, the lonely as a metaphor for depression and how it affects Martin and DONT GET ME STARTED WITH THE BURIED COMA THING, I LOVE THIS

My current fave song with my all time fave podcast/horrorstory?!?! HECK YEEEE And MY LAWD this is Just Art Masterpiece DAMN It's good Thank you

This is so good!! The movement is incredible and my GOD THE COFFIN/COMA PARALLEL!!

This was so beautiful!! Your waves and fog animations are stunning, I love your Institute designs and the coma/buried parallel made me gasp

Holy shiz this is beautifully done! Edit as I continue into the video: And that flashing with Jon's coma and the coffin I'm screaming!

Beautiful omg the artwork and the scene design absolutely stunning, this captures the lonely so perfectly and beautifully. And the incredible amount of detail in the tma connections!

literally fucking speechless, hand over my mouth, tears in my eyes

This is THE perfect song for Martin & one of the most beautiful animatics I've seen for this show. Thank you

This is so powerful. The symbolism with the boat is awesome, it works so well for both the song and character. I love 2:50 a lot, the focus of it is very striking.

Oof, the coffin/coma parallel scene made me literally gasp, that was just soooo well done.

I was never certain if TMA was for me until I saw this animatic. Not joking I'm going to start watching rn and a lot of it it's because of this

This is so good! The part where the coffin and coma!jon switch back and forth is so good, I love all of your character designs so so so much, and I love the beginning so much, how Plukas is there, and then he's not, and the wave at the very beginning while Martin's in his office is so smoothly animated, and I could just gush forever about it so I'm going to stop here but it was so so so good!!!!!

oh my God every shot of this is a Masterpiece

this is GORGEOUS I love that you actually drew Martin in a bottle with the glass cracking just....SUCH A GOOD JOB!!

I saw this several months back and I still come aback to it every now and again. I also have this song on my playlist and always think of this incredible animatics when I hear it! It is so well done!!

Wow, something to cry to while watching on repeat. Mmmmm martin is just a conduit for me to express my depression and loneliness because damn do i relate hard to him.

Ok can we talk about how great the water looks tho

HOLY SHIT!!! This is incredible! this was just in my recommend and I'm so glad i saw it... I’m SO impressed that all of this is in color and every panel is so detailed … amazing job! Fav bits: - The picture at the beginning ... I will never not be sad when someone draws parallels with s1 archives gang to how things turn out later - The entire first part where Martin is on the boat is SO well done? Those juicy juicy water physics … when I was first watching it I was like yup that’s a cool action packed boat scene :) but actually it takes so much work to draw a scene like that well... with having both the boat itself and the movement/appearance of the water look so good…mad kudos to you. (The frame at 1:58 also looks very nice I just love when people capture the foaminess of water like that lol) - Going off that, the background work in all the frames (like in the archives etc) is also really well done! and the way you structured/transitioned/edited everything just looks so good - even the contrast between Melanie getting support/help from Georgie and Martin going off on his own...oof - AT 3:10 … THE PARALLEL WITH JON IN THE COFFIN AND IN THE COMA? HELP thats so clever! I got chills at that bit it totally took me by surprise - I know this is a Martin centric vid but I love how you draw Jon…pretty jon rights (I want to give him a hug) - Peter Lukas dissolving into the Lonely when Jon Sees him is very satisfying, I really liked those frames! and how you drew the fog in general Anyways, this was super well executed and I really enjoyed watching it!

This is amazing!! You deserve so much more attention man

You can fit everything you know In a bottle for you to show Pick your brain apart and put it in (pick your brain apart) And build it again With needles and pins Everything you have earned is a ship With blue waves crashing into it But nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore (nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore) With your glass ceiling, walls, and floor Sailing on a ship in a bottle Anchor all your thoughts to the bottom Pulling ropes and pulling your head back To see what is breaking the foremast You set sail alone there is no crew No one on the deck who can help you This is all your own battle to win This is your ship and you are the captain Oh, captain, let's make a deal Where we both say the things that we both really feel I feel scared and I'm starting to sink And I only sink deeper the deeper I think Oh, captain Oh, captain, deal Oh, captain deal Oh, captain deal Oh woah There are red spots under your eyes From when you cry Into the sky Ocean waters rising above your neck, mmm You feel the glass Start to crack Sailing on a ship in a bottle Water's leaking through holes in the bottom Flying flags of ships that have long since Sat at the floor of the sea, but in defense You set sail alone there is no crew No one on the deck who can help you This is all your own battle to win This is your ship and you are the captain Oh, captain, let's make a deal Where we both say the things that we both really feel I feel scared and I'm starting to sink And I only sink deeper the deeper I think Oh, captain, make up your mind Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time 'cause you're popping the cork You get lost in your brain And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane Oh, captain Oh, captain, deal Oh, captain deal Oh, captain deal Oh woah Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, captain, let's make a deal Where we both say the things that we both really feel I feel scared and I'm starting to sink And I only sink deeper the deeper I think Oh, captain, make up your mind Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time 'cause you're popping the cork You get lost in your brain And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane Oh, captain Oh, captain, deal Oh, captain deal Oh, captain deal Oh woah Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
