Description Part III: [link]

LAST INSTALLMENT!
I'm gonna be honest! I'm really torn between being happy that I finished this and being really sad that I'm probably going to have to go back and do a lot of edits for continuity and general reworking of bad drawings!

I mean there's definitely at least one set-up where the ground plane is like "lol bbiab"

So it's pretty embarrassing that this took so long to finish! My defense is that I thumbnailed it when I had a lot of free time and then school started so I ended up using this mostly as a warm-up before starting homework. D:

EDIT: There's a dumb little musical reference in the dialogue, did anyone catch it? XD I'm not sure how many people have seen this particular musical (hint: it's not a Jekyll and Hyde reference)

----------------------------------------------------
WARNING: This final section is kind of TL;DR territory.
This section has very little action and a lot of talking and is mostly Frankenstein riding through his hopefully not too contrived character arc.

Right now it seems intrinsic to his personality that he does not become introspective unless he is severely injured and/or bedridden. Otherwise, he is more likely to expel any confusing emotions in the form of, say, a two-month trek through the wilderness.

He is not someone who is ordinarily very good at understanding other people's emotions (something Creature can attest to, according to canon), so someone like Hyde, who is extremely confusing from nearly anyone's perspective, is essentially an emotional black hole that Frankenstein generally just tries to ignore.

Creature is correct, though! Edward Hyde does consider Frankenstein a friend, and is perhaps more affectionate towards him (granted, he is the sort of person to show affection in the manner of, say, a lion) than Jekyll is. Sometimes Hyde can get a little bored with his friends and, you know, kill them and things (as Lucy can attest to), but if he were going to kill Frankenstein, he would have done it before they left London. No point in killing your only guide through an epic wilderness.

I got a little confused though, sorry but why did Hyde kill those people? sorry for wasting your time <:I

Essentially out of boredom? It was a convenient excuse to cause havoc in an environment that would have otherwise been impossible to cause havoc in. Hyde has an awful lot of manic, rebellious energy in him, and probably if Creature hadn't provided him with people to kill, he would have gone pouting off into the forest and gotten lost and possibly died. :<

Brilliant character design! GOSH!!! O__o''
I wish I could do all those emotions to the faces of MY characters, too! Fascinating and indeed professional!

Love,
Marina

Thanks so much. :3 Emotions are pretty hard for me to render too, but I think they're one of those things that get a strong reaction from people...

You are a geniusss I love how you can draw so much different facial expressions and how you were able to represent motion so well

Thanks so much! I am an animation student after all, so I try to handle motion decently. I think by regular animators' storyboards standards, it's still pretty lazy....

It was actually made in an awesome program called TVPaint, which is great for animation and storyboarding! It was, however, composited into this flipbook format in Flash.

omg aaaa pardon me for butting into this conversation but we just installed tvpaint at school this year, buuut nobody is apparently using it or teaching it at the moment since nobody is exactly familiar with it haha. any, idk, tips n tricks to share? or just generally, how do you like it?

I loooooove TVPaint and I recommend it for everyone!! However, the layout of the program is very confusing the first time you open it. : ( Once you set it up the first time, it's really easy to use, but you really do need someone to explain it the first time.... I did a tutorial at my school and people seemed to get it pretty fast, so maybe ask around to see if anyone you know is familiar with it?
