After the Battle | Splatoon Animatic

[@ChiaraLawrence]

hi!! a little different of an animatic than usual, but I hope you still enjoy! if you're confused or want more info, please read the description :)

[@taiyo-alt1360]

Please do more splatoon animatics. This was so good!

[@Sylveon2589]

@@taiyo-alt1360 Agreed. In fact, First video of the channel :')

[@axelinerys3841]

I love how you had Marina hug agent 8 instead of any of the others doing so. Out of everyone she would understand the emotions of seeing the surface/Inkopolis square for the first time.

[@ChiaraLawrence]

hehe I'm glad someone caught that :)

[@sagehanson190]

To be fair Marina also just got those older sister/mom vibes. Out of the wild, in-the-moment rich girl, the hardened old war vet, and the silent, distant soldier, Marina is definitely the most emotionally in touch.

This dose really show a somewhat accurate portrayal of what PTSD that these characters would go though, it's really impressive

Also it's cute

[@ChiaraLawrence]

thank you so much! i’m glad i was able to convey that well

What is PTSD?

[@HYPER_BRUH_]

@@ichangemynameandmypfpevery7318 Post Trauma Stress Disorder

[@Spikel3t]

Never thought how the tests themselves could emotionally impact agent 8, well done on representing that! (Ending is too cute)

[@ChiaraLawrence]

thank you so much!! as I was playing I messed up so much that I thought "wow, this must really suck from eight's point of view" and thought it would be interesting to expand on that lol

[@CodeKirby]

I mean *It definetly impacted us-*

[@amandamakin1542]

Finding out what Tartar was going to do to them with that giant blender must have been terrifying, too, since he put Agent 8 through those traumatic tests just to do that.

[@rufavulpes]

@@amandamakin1542 yeah, going through all that hell because of the promise of a better life, only to find out that it was all a lie and that there never was going to be a 'promised land' would most definitely be crushing.

[@deadweightnero]

if agent 8 hears words “test” or “failed”, flashbacks if agent 3 sees the color teal or an old wind up telephone, flashbacks

[@elizabethramirezthezenshii9691]

if agent 4 is subject to anything clinical white, flashbacks

[@BasedMamaJames617]

Hope 8 shows up in the dlc along with Marina and Pearl, the ending here warmed my heart I think both 8 and 3 are great friends after their two battles.

it gets worse when you think about how all the enemy ooze and stuff was technically made out of other blended test subjects who couldn't escape kambo

[@totallynotaferret]

I'm almost certain when 8 saw that they just fucking broke

[@AGuy-vq9qp]

Octarians are made of ink. The blended ooze is less gore, and more just Octarian stripped of identity and thought.

[@AGuy-vq9qp]

@@totallynotaferret it wouldn’t be visually disgusting.

[@omninewbie1848]

the fact that Marina hugs em shows so much goddamn symbolism. Love it.

[@somewhereperhaps]

This was so cute. The perspective and all your shots are dynamic and really cool.

[@ChiaraLawrence]

ahhh thank you sm 🥺💖

[@ebentaylor]

This was awesome!! I love how you were able to portray Eight's trauma from the tests and also how they can't help but be reminded of their trauma when they see Agent 3

[@WitchCandyVODs]

MARINA HUGGING 8 LIKE "yes, you're safe now" IS MAKING ME CRYYY

[@cosmox1x]

I don't know why but when Marina hugged agent 8 at the end my brain. choked. is that normal? Just the decision to make _her_ the one hugging 8 instead of anyone else at that exact moment in that context is so obvious to do but it's so powerful at the same time

[@tripleoof8159]

I LOVE THAT MARINA IS THE ONE WHO GAVE THE HUG AT THE END,,, she knows the relief to finally see the surface!

[@TheRealRoyalArtworks]

Marina going in and hugging 8 for comfort my heart 😭

[@silverflight01]

Seeing 8 cry into Marina's arms is pretty sweet. After so many brutal tests, a confrontation with a brainwashed 3, and preventing the destruction of Inkopolis, finally being able to live a relatively normal life in Inkopolis is like stepping through the gates to paradise.

[@mateussoares515]

I like that Marina hugged agent 8 at the end, because they are both octolings, she would get it, she would know how it feels to arrive in inkopolis square, love the little details

[@echothefreak9396]

I never thought about how it would be like after the battle between 3 and 8. How 3 would feel so bad for hurting 8; Agent 3 took down an entire octarian army, I can only imagine how they would feel after seeing an octoling break free from the mind control and go through so much, and with the realization that they hurt the equivalent of an inkopolis citizen. You’re great at conveying the emotion here.

[@Joryu-]

The ending of this is just outstanding! I always imagined agent 8 ( idk I forgot ) being so happy to see the place they daydreamed about and just wanting to be free. I did kinda cry on that part but I will say this has to be the best splatoon animatic I ever seen!

[@ChiaraLawrence]

ahhh thank you so much!! 😭💖

[@mr.andrewfilms]

Knowing that Mario is getting a movie, if Octo expansion one day gets a movie or a series, this should be how it ends. I love it.

[@kidsquid-real]

ptsd indeed I can actually imagine this happening to 8, especially with can’t touch this station :_) will be checking out more of ur content :D

[@novaduck_iv]

You literally have no right making me cry like that 🥺😭😭

[@sparkxii.]

The bomb exploding as soon as the beat dropped for Regret was too good. This was super incredible work!

[@poshilplaya324]

Agent 3 and 8 need plenty of therapy and hugs after this dlc. That aside I’m glad this popped in my recommendations. Art is on point but i believe the big standout is the emotion you drew, how everyone would react realistically after suffering a bone shaking ordeal.

[@luvvydo5680]

this is going to take up a permanent space in my head i know it

[@kratangg-arang]

God this is good. Every part of it is beautiful and just *hits*. Agent 8 honestly went through the worst of it of any protag you play. You really get across the pain and impact, and they deserved the hell out of that view

[@The_StealthNinja]

Just imagine 8 playing turf on Hammerhead Bridge only to see the NILS statue as well

[@HyperNova808]

They’d have nightmarish flashbacks for sure

[@toastman6420]

This is amazing. I love on how you’re able to accurately show the aftermath of OE and the impact it has on her. Great work!

[@hirahiro2331]

Damn that ending made me cry! Marina: that’s how I felt when I finally escaped.

[@DakuJTenshi]

I like the idea a lot actually. I mean you're literally an octoling that was in this situation. And you're tasked with fighting what is essentially the most effective inkling in the upper society. That as far as you know completely stomped on any other octoling that tried to fight them

[@carbonated_milk9903]

Dang you showed a viewpoint no one has ever thought about an you animated it awesomely

[@amxterxsu138]

awww the hug from marina bc she understands :(((

[@unknown-vi7zn]

Glad to see you've returned and with another amazing animation 🤌

[@joemama_22]

This was very well done great animation 8 really went through so much I wish splatoon 3 dlc will bring her back I want to know how she's doing

[@ChiaraLawrence]

please I need her back so bad 🙏

[@Ushiriel]

Zamnn that music takes me back. Also the sad octaling looking at Agent 3 reminds me of someone.. Replayed for 8 mins, tears on my bed. 10/10 will watch again

[@musicaman8683]

Awwwww that ending was so precious!!

[@ls190v2]

Squid child with post-traumatic stress disorder. It's probably rough, living with awful memories that won't go away. I can't say, I don't have PTSD. But to those who do, I feel so bad for you.

[@lulubelle__]

Oh my gosh, the shot at 0:30 is absolutely gorgeous- this whole anamatic is such a good portrayal. I need to play octo so badly :') this is awesome, well done!!

[@theautisticalien8364]

As a huge fan of splatoon, and your Amphibia trilogy, this was a welcome surprise 😊

[@_medusas_wrath]

Very well done. I've never thought about how 8 must have felt tbh. And that hug at the end just hits different. Tysm for creating this👍

[@AmyTabbyCat]

I just recently finished Octo Expansion and I remember thinking just how messed up it was that the test subjects were forced to wear basically a suicide bomb in each test chamber that killed them at the slightest mistake. ofc inklings and octolings don't actually die like that and can respawn and all, but it's still pretty dark to think about

[@ThisAnimeFOXGirlLovesToDraw]

Wonderful job!! I could feel the emotions agent 8 was going through. The music made the animatic even more emotional. Amazing animatic! :D

[@TheMoon-nz6mi]

I hope we get to see what Agent 8 and Agent 4 have been up to soon

[@FruitNinja65Gaming]

That made me cry at the end 😭😭 this games series means so much to me! Also awesome animation by the way

[@servantofwrath7370]

I never really got why in a lot of interpretations, 8 easily forgave 3, for essentially becoming a manifestation of his/her own trauma involving the tests. The color teal would be burned into their mind, and seeing someone who was essentially that in the form of the very reason why they're even *in* the Deep Sea Metro... I wouldn't be surprised to see them go hog ham on 3 if they ever got the chance.

[@darkmatter1721]

It makes sense tho, first time they were genuinely enemies, 3 with the splatoon, 8 with octavio, 8 defects after hearing the calimari inkcantation and the next time they fight, 3 has no choice because shes being possessed, they both had their own reasons and after octo expansion they wouldn't see each other as bad people (well they'd be a little wary at first prolly)

[@digaddog6099]

To be fair its canon that 8 has a crush/admires/(I forgot what) agent three/captain

[@SplatastictheRealOne]

That galactic sea slug, is pure king of PTSD. At least the pain is finally over, for the young agent 8. And a new chapter begins, with Inkopolis square. _A place to always call home._ This was beautiful for a little short, felt the energy eight was feeling, poor wholesome bean. 💖✨🌟💖

[@marianomercado6284]

I am surprised to find Splatoon videos where they reflect very well the Traumas that Agent 8 experienced finally and ended that experience must have left it marked and with psychological sequelae

[@crowngamer901]

OMG I love this so much! And 8 crying at the end seeing Inkopolis really got me

[@Vivaaaa_407]

Marina hugging eight at the end broke me so sweet 🥹

[@twinfantasytowers]

Oh my gosh, this is such an amazing way to show how agent 8 might’ve felt afterwards. Beautiful work! The art is amazing!

[@acesinger6092]

Wow, didn’t expect to see an animatic from you. Also, I don’t know what Splatoon is, but this was pretty interesting to see. I don’t know why, but I imagined Luz in the final episode of the owl house where there’s a time skip, and she’s thinking about the time when the collector promised to free everyone if she beat his game. So Luz tried again and again to beat their game, but she kept losing each time

[@ChiaraLawrence]

ohh yeah it would be pretty similar to that! thank you for watching even with no context to what this is lol :)💚

[@verchi3816]

Well Splatoons a great game! It’s got fun mechanics, creative weapon designs, and a great and engaging story (especially in 3!) Also your concept of luz being in this type of thought process after beating the collector would be neat to see in the show:D

[@thecinema_]

I haven’t played either but I have a friend that’s obsessed with it and told me the whole storyline, and I watch her play too. From what I can tell, it’s a great game, and I really hope I get a copy for myself soon

[@mateussoares515]

The animation isn't from the game itself, it's from the dlc, "Octo expansion".

[@thecinema_]

@@mateussoares515 well yes, but it’s still a part of the game.

Woo. Awesome. Great job. Hope Agent 8 is doing well during Splatoon 3.

[@BluShado45]

I just love the use of Regret. Probably one of my favorite songs in the series. I would say just about anything from Off the Hook is my favorite though. I love Color Pulse and the new stuff in Side Order is really good (Marina whispering in her boss music is so great).

[@Lolyeet]

This is just beautiful. This is why i love community crap like this. It gives the characters so much more life. Also someone NEEDS to fully animate this. If this is just an animatic, imagine a full animation?
