"Can't I Even Dream?" || Last Life (Desertduo PMV)

[@HappyTheThird]

I absolutely love the detail of Scar’s hair slowly turning white with each life he losses. It’s like the idea of “the color faded from his eyes”, but instead it’s “the color faded from his hair”. I don’t think an animatic has ever made me feel so much. Everything about this from the details to the choice of song just perfectly captures how tragic of a season this was for desertduo and Scar in particular.

[@Allunary]

Scar's death in this is just absolutely tragic- the way he reaches out for 3rd life grian... Wonderful job!!! :D

[@crystal_calibri_creatins9787]

I am crushed by that frame, it's so tragic, AND WITH THE MUSIC CHOICE TOO- People really missed out on last life's Scar angst.

[@OhSoShortcake]

THAT'S WHAT IM SAYIN

[@liliananavarro8852]

It’s really sad and I’m gonna be honest I started crying the first time I saw it

[@mappy-jc1yb]

it is so sad

[@keleam4689]

I love they way Grian looks so soulless, like he doesn't know what its like to be in a mortal body; still the watcher. The way he always looks so confused and hurt, it fuels me in a way i could never understand. Outstanding animation, Bravo!!

[@juliameindl5721]

Is there any chance you could give a brief rundown on the watcher lore? I’ve seen a lot of people talking about it but I don’t quite know what it is

[@keleam4689]

Unfortunately, i too am in the same boat. I know just enough to know kind of what the Watcher is, but not the lore behind it. Im pretty sure that the Watcher originates from an earlier series, Evo SMP. I think the Watcher is sort of an omniscient, ever looming god who just watches them. And from what I’ve gathered, Grian the character, is a Watcher (originally or forced, idk) and was sent to the others. I just know that G is usually symbolized by the purple eye thingy. :] please, whoever reads this, correct me if i am wrong

[@joshhumphrey736]

@@keleam4689 I don't know too much, but the watchers come from EVO, where grian wanted to leave the series, everyone went to the end to fight the dragon and were pulled into different dragon fights, and the end poem was altered to be someone joining two other people. When everyone got back, grian was missing. After that the rest tried to escape the watchers and stuff happened idk. for the life series, the watchers feed off of negative emotions so they pit everyone in a death game and then feed on their emotions in between (explaining why everyone remembers previous seasons but aren't still mad about the way it went down). grian joins the death game to try and stop it which is why he has the lighting power i think. Also the secret keeper is a watcher with the watcher logo on his(their?) face

[@joshhumphrey736]

@@juliameindl5721 Most of the lore after grian left evo is solely from Martyn aka inthelittlewood's perspective and he says he doesn't want to force his lore onto everyone else

[@Ieatleaves-lmao]

THE SHOT WITH THE WITHER BEHIND GRIAN OMG MY HEART IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE FROM HAPPINESS. THE EVIL GRIN ON HIS FACE, THE WITHER TOO OMG AHHHHH

[@KayleeAndSkye]

I love the detail of scar’s hair slowly turning white at every single death, showing just how stressed he is getting as his series looks closer to the end

[@Libbib]

Jesus man I didn't expect to cry!! When Scar reached out for 3rd life Grian during his death I basically died inside this was gorgeous my goodness

[@amarisva]

Your art style is absolutely immaculate. I move how even with the art style just the way you draw the shaped of the characters it feels like them. This is absolutely amazing! Keep being amazing!

[@taltalily6890]

100% agree. you stole my words

[@ellyskies3693]

I am HEARTBROKEN. When 3rd Life Grian's ghost appeared in front of Scar right before he fall... AIUUFGUAGGUA U I'M CRYING NOW GOOD JOB. I love the artstyle it's amazing by the way but UEGH. MY FEELINGS. OWIE.

[@mothofprophecy23]

Totally not going INSANE over the way Scar’s hair turns white throughout this /positive

[@gilagal777]

Absolutely stunning, oh my goodness. It's rare that a fan animation gives me such a genuine reaction, that tightness in my chest and my throat closing up, but that genuinely got me a bit choked up, wow. Bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

[@Katzaca]

Had to come back here after finishing scar's pov of last life, MAN ARTISTS RLLY AMPLFIED THE ANGST IN HIS RUN GOD DAMN IM TEARING UP /pos

[@maliceeeee]

oh MY GOD THE FLOWER ON THE 3RD LIFE GRIAN AND I NOTICED WHILE WATCHING THROUGH YOUR ANIMATICS THAT WHEN GRIAN ISNT RED BUT SHOWS RED-LIKE BEHAVIOUR THERES A LITTLE GLINT OF RED IN HIS EYES AND AYUAGJSADHJADS ITS SO GOODDDDD AND THEN THEIR EYES TURNING GREY OMGGG

[@Shadowdemoninsideyourwalls]

Congrats! You’ve made last life more sad than third life 😢

[@Linkurz]

Holy shit wowowowowowowow The bit where you showed them on the ground side by side was HAUNTING… God this is so good I have so many feelings about Last Life Desert Duo sob The way you move your images instead of still frames is so well done and the wither shot was amazing Favoriting this and rewatching a million times

[@AriaGriande]

This hurts my soul so bad I can't explain. They way they both slowly become soulless as time goes on and then Scar reaching out for 3L!Grian is just- truly magnificent :D

[@rusty_courage]

I keep coming back to watch this. it fuels my last life brainrot. i love this so much

[@VesperionNox]

Rusty you have no idea how much thay means to me skenska

[@Iris.O]

I honestly can’t form a paragraph on how much I love this so let me just make a list. Music choice fits! Face expressions are excellent. 12/10 Art style Story telling is beautiful Character designs are really nice! 2:21 Third life Grian? :0 And the flower was still there too! Random note, the walk at the beginning looks pretty awesome. A true masterpiece. I hope the life series members see this.

[@olived9560]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE *AAAAA* I love scar's white hair and him reaching out for 3l grian at the end aaa (your expressions are so good)

[@toxic_live5872]

Yooooooooooooooooooo don’t mind me rewatching this masterpiece

[@toxic_live5872]

Still here btw 🫢🤫

[@electra310]

Oh and I forgot to say how much I LOVE Scar’s homemade “diamond armor,” it is so cute!

[@Loifey]

This is a masterpiece yet so underrated 😭 Also the art, animation and story is incredible

[@li_ka2]

Aadewss I _love_ how Scar's hair loses colour as he loses lives, that's so cool!!

[@rusty_courage]

OHHH I GOT CHILLLSSSSSSSSSSS THIS IS SO GOOD

[@Faded_Willow0]

I really like the animation and thumbnail! The style is so cool!! :) I love how you drew Grian

[@jaidenscorner1998]

i LOVE this!! i love the concept of scar’s hair getting whiter the more lives he looses, that’s amazing!!

[@ratratto]

I'm shaking screaming throwing up on the floor Yes This is This is a masterpiece

[@someoneyoum1ghtknow]

This is so incredible and nostalgic

[@midnight9487]

This hits the feels 😞

[@serasvoid]

This nearly made me cry and I'm really not one to cry much. Just the whole composition of the animatic and the music and the expressions and- This hurt so good! It's absolutely beautiful.

[@samuelsouth.]

Yooooo color! In all seriousness, this is very well done. I've mentioned before how I adore the movement you put into the elements of each frame, so I'll gloss over that, and just say that you did a great job translating that style to a slower, more dramatic song. I appreciate how you focused on the individual experiences of Grian and Scar, as well as their distant relationship in this season. I especially love 1:17, highlighting Scar's tragic episode where he dropped all the way to his last life. Arranging the hearts around his head and shoulders, just as they were at 0:20 is a clever callback. 1:12 is also a fantastically composed frame, using foreshortening on the pickaxe in order to create a sense of depth, as well as make Grian feel more threatening. Obscuring Mumbo's face in the top of the frame makes it feel as though Grian is threatening the audience, which really adds to this frame.

[@prislydawn]

Awwwww I love this so much, from beginning to end ❤❤❤

[@imilovesbread]

WAIT I WATCHED THIS WHEN IT CAME OUT BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS NEW- great job btw I love this sm!❤❤❤

[@Jinx_the_Hunter]

INCREDIBLE!!! Present me is screaming over desert duo and middle school me is screaming over Jubyphonic. This was such a good choice of song for them!!!!!!

[@localwheel]

[@emberdragon3436]

Wow. That's SO COOL! Also I wanna hug LifeSeries!Scar he's had it rough the entire time

[@vianniramirez5434]

This is AMAZING!! I love how when scar got closer to red, his hair grew more white, and loved when he died he saw a glimpse of 3rd life grian!! (Edit) When scar gets eliminated, Gian 3rd life turns into a poppy because he was given a poppy, and in this video he wears it!!! 2:23

[@AdMzZZzz]

Mama Mia, the reactions were so hilarious BABASHAHAH-

[@primetime3422]

I would think it be a really good idea to remake the life series but from a more thematic perspective. Like take inspiration from the story the lifers made and write a new story with themes and the events of the life series. I guess kinda what Shakespeare did with his plays.

[@avanii]

How was i late to this master peice? The whole scars hair turning whiter/bponder is so clever

[@electra310]

It’s really beautiful and also, ow! My feelings!

[@carimeslockdownedtree2654]

FUCKKK GOD THIS IS AMAZING!!!! I absolutely adore how Scar's hair turns white with his loneliness and Aaaaa Also. Grian with the poppy made me think of something. Grian's skin is red. In Last Life, Scar's is purple. Poppies and lilacs. GODDAMMIT.

[@persefida]

Your artstyle is amazing! And you even colored everything! Really good work! I also love how you work with camera angles and framing c:

[@GolubayaSoyka]

I have no words to describe my feelings. You killed me again. Every pmv you make is absolutely gorgeous! And and and the moment when Scar dies........ I'm in shambles. Love you so much.

[@fieryhephestus]

this twists the story of last life in a way that leads to double life perfectly(idk scars perspective, so it may be less of a "twist" than i think it is, but my point still stands)

[@AshArts-YT]

The fact that alot of artists put the detail of the height differences is too funny.😂😂😂

[@The_Grin_Reaper_]

Dude this is incredible

[@Drawlistics]

Wow that was really good!! I love how smooth your transitions are!!

[@CheeseThePurpleDragon]

This is insane! The art style, the music, everything works together so well. I love Desert Duo :')

[@fel33no]

I adore your art style- it's cute, but you can easily make it anything but with a few different expressions and settings. I really love Scar's hair gradually turning white btw. White hair's amazing :D

[@theblubbled]

This was so fun to watch since you can really tell what part of the series every scene in this animation is from. Amazing job! Well done.

[@tiktaaliksock5256]

oh wow, this is incredibly well drawn, I love the emotions on the faces and the way the scenes change!

[@shroomoroom]

Wow! This is amazing, I haven’t heard this song for a lot of animatics, but when it is used- it is amazing! Great work as always , Nox. Hope to see much more :D

[@leefaegaming1285]

[@naybi1213]

[@_SVNRISES]

the music choice paired up with the transitions and panels of art...oh my gosh this genuinely is so beautiful! this is one of the few pmvs/animatics/animations that has made me emotional. this is so amazing!

[@la800]

wowowow yknow i never really see a lot of focus put on desertduo in last life, but sheesh, this really got me...even though it's the season where they probably interact the least (second to limlife, maybe?), you still managed to draw upon all of the poignant moments and dredge up every painful feeling left over from 3rd life. i love your designs and your use colour is positively stunning!! i love this so much!!!!

[@set5ings]

GORGEOUS AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@simplyfrog9556]

ANOTHER AWESOME video ! Your artstyle is so so so beautiful and your work is gold!

[@NovastarDoughnut]

This is amazing oh my gosh. Good work

[@Anna-by4fl]

I love this one! the scene where scar gave out his lives and where he died was soo tragic ... can u plz do one on limlife as well? esp the kills and the scenes where scar exploded bread bridge and grian said "it is the ultimate betrayal" and ended scar

[@Anna-by4fl]

ok now i'm requesting one for secret life too😂 in the 1st episode when Grian and Scar went together on the camel, when he broke the rules just so Scar won't have to fail, when Grian and Scar wanted to trade a golden apple for a heart with each other, Grian telling Scar to log out when the wither chased him around the map, the Boogey apocolapse and when Scar refused to kill Etho's Dishwasher, when the TNT minecart trap didn't work (in the final episode) and especially Grian's last stand I'll wait😘

[@Indigo_dingo]

Woah :0 I love this animatic so much!!
