Description

First of all, I'm really flattered that you guys enjoy these animations this much, Thank you !


I know a lot of people are still asking for a longer animated clip or a full movie of it

It does sounds like a great plan, I'd like to see one ,too

but reality is an asshole.


                                                                                          time consuming

Like I might have mentioned before, animation is an extremely l̶i̶f̶e̶ ̶d̶r̶a̶i̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ things to do.

It will always take more efforts than you expected.
 

For more details of the process , please check out the link below



I’ll do a little tutorial in the next update in case you can try it at home


In the premise of working alone

I cant’t say there is an average time you have to spent on an animation,

each clip has it’s own particular difficulties.

like the “possessed" and "fighting clips" , they have almost the same amount of duration, but guess which one took the most time?

   A

   B




The answer is A
it took 3 months to complete while the other took about a month

so there’s no guarantee a shorter clip would take less time.


Now imaging how long would that take to finish a full animated movie?



Another key element for a nice film is voice acting.


Apart from contacting the voice actor,voice recording indeed is a joyful step,

but it’s definitely not a job which you can finish in just an hour.

The actor would have to repeat the same dialogue repeatedly in order to find the suitable voice for the scenario , so sometimes we will need a “voice director “to guide them.   And there’s no way I’ll travel aboard just to do this….

 


So sadly , this movie dream likely won’t came true, 

and still I got a lot to improve in the future,
I know these will all became the stuff I'll come back and feel cringe at it, 
but at least I feel bless for having so much fun and share the same interest without hesitate with you all in here.
I keep do my best on what I love.

Any additional question, feel free to send me a note

Thank you (:

ever thought of running a support page for animation shorts/your work, etc? I don't see a Patreon page on your profile, why not start there? that way your time is paid for and supported especially if you pull together a group the money you collect you can pay for them too.
I can see your work getting A LOT of dough (money)

But this is just my opinion and thought on what you can do, if you ever want to push forward with the idea of making a fun series or maybe even a mini movie. Basic longer animated shorts really.

seriously tho please don't hurt meh, I'm just giving out an idea, and I didn't see patreon on your front page so I assume you don't have patreon if you do I'm terribly sorry for not knowing that

I studied animation when I was in college ,sadly there's not much I could learned from school in my country.
Of course a good art or animation university could be a great benefit on your skills , but the rest of it is still depends on how much effort are you willing to pay for more improvement  (:

I'm glad you put this information out to show people how difficult it is to make this, but then you also showed that you love art so much that you made time to make these wonderful short animations. 

In a way, maybe it's better that you haven't made a film of it, because it kinda leaves the outcome to the fans' imaginations. All the same, you worked really hard on these, and they're a joy to watch!

If I have any questions, I'll see to note you in due time! For now, keep up the amazing art, and have a wonderful life!

Please correct me if I'm wrong but aren't these creatures that Dark and Anti go against and fight are like dark shadows that invaded there world or demons that may came from a somewhat hidden portal of there dimension. 

Also what is mask planning for the future of the story and I wanted to know if this is either a book or a movie that is planned. 

I Thank You For Taking Your And Reading This.

OupazasMedia In reply to IssacWild [2018-01-26 16:38:50 +0000 UTC]

I may not be Maskman, but I am also an animator. Consider watching The Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams. He's worked in the animation industry most of his life, and teaches a masterful class. There is a lot of fluff, but he goes over almost all of the core things animators need to know, regardless of whether it's 2d, 3d, or even stop motion animation.

Also, I'd be willing to help you learn if you ever need pointers!

I know that some people might've asked you this before, but I am interested to start animating and I was wondering, since you're a great animator, which program should I start and well, how should I start... I have no idea how to begin and I was wondering if you could give me some tips as a total beginner ^^

Oceanatic [2017-10-19 19:03:57 +0000 UTC]

Hi! I love your art and animations so much! I was wondering what software you use and what brush presets you use?  I'm still in the early faze of getting the hang of digital art, so could you recommend any newbie tips?

👍: 0 ⏩: 0

keroseneArtist [2017-09-21 00:25:15 +0000 UTC]

what you could do is make a game, you already seem to have pictures that create the idea of a "wrong ending" to the story. You could ask for permission to pull clips of mark and sean speaking in their videos, or ask them for digital recordings of them reading a script you can send them.

I understand all of this, but i think mark and jack would love to do it however you would just have to find a way to contact them (I don't know but that COULD be one issue solved however, that is just my point of view) but anyways, keep up the great work cause i like the comics and things you do.

Can someone please explain the lore up to this point to me, because I just found this and it's extremely interesting and I want to know what's going on so badly. Please? Honestly, this is almost as interesting as the lore behind Jack and Mark's versions.

HalcyonLioness In reply to Floridadaawesome [2017-09-04 21:55:03 +0000 UTC]

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.  

To be brief: We tend to encourage people to look through the artwork and the accompanying comments to help the individual draw their own conclusions.  Yes, there is a lot more going on behind the theories, comments, and the art itself, but the full, undisclosed lore is a carefully guarded secret by Mask and the author working on the final narrative alongside them. That aforementioned final narrative will bring the full story into full revelation and focus, and we will announce when that final narrative is ready to be launched.

Until that time arrives, what we can do is help clarify what questions people may have.  We cannot guarantee direct answers, true, but we do hope what information we are able to give will be in some way helpful to you.

TL;DR - Mask has someone working on a full story, so the lore is kind of being kept under lock and key until the author feels that story is ready to be released. Until then, feel free to ask questions, but do not expect direct answers.  We hope that this was in some way informative.

Floridadaawesome In reply to HalcyonLioness [2017-09-04 22:16:13 +0000 UTC]

So will they release the full story, when it's done of course, on this account or will it be on another account? And thank you so much for the information, I really can't wait for this story to come out!

HalcyonLioness In reply to Floridadaawesome [2017-09-04 22:22:06 +0000 UTC]

That is currently being discussed.  We can tell you that both Mask and the author working with them will both make the announcement of the final narrative's launch on their respective profiles and applicable social medias.

We are glad to be of help. :3

lllSilvermoonlll [2017-08-28 01:03:01 +0000 UTC]

I have a few questions and would be pleased for an answer but I'm wondering.. How did Dark become dark and evil also how did Anti? Were they like demon hunters or something in their winged world? Also when is this story coming out for all this? 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

HalcyonLioness In reply to lllSilvermoonlll [2017-08-28 03:55:00 +0000 UTC]

The first two questions are ones we cannot answer directly. All we can tell you is that something very bad happened and it deeply affected both this version of Dark and Anti.  Who they were and what they were doing before this particularly negative event is unfortunately a closely guarded secret.  The answers you seek are to be revealed in full once the final narrative is fully revealed.

As for the when the final narrative will be ready, please be patient.  We have it on good authority that the author is working through the construction of the narrative with the utmost care.  When it is ready, there will be an announcement, so do keep your eyes on Mask's profile and on the author's profile as well.

We apologize if the answers were unsatisfactory, and we hope that this was still in some way informative.

krystalizedstorm [2017-05-23 07:52:33 +0000 UTC]

Tbh I think it's kinda stupid to ask a single artist to make an entire heckin' movie. Moves have this thing called a team of people working on them, and even then, it could take up to years to produce something they're happy with.
You just do you, dude. Movies aren't the only thing that can tell the story.
