Dawn: Diluc & Kaeya // Genshin Impact Animatic

All characters and settings are owned not by me, but by Mihoyo! All art in the video is mine though. Thank you to @mercurialkenny for the great mashup, I shortened the track a bit to fit the narrative better, hope that's alright!
MUSIC:
• Imagine Dragons - Enem...

[@James_Howlett_The_Wolverine]

*Sees Diluc’s fire and Kaeya’s ice colliding* *My POV* : *What a awesome MELT combo!*

[@midwavesnight]

no but SAME THO AHAHAHAH

[@BatdadIsBestDad]

The fact diluc tried to kill his own brother blinded by the pain, damn these two need to hug each other

[@Anna-ij7jk]

OH MY LORD???? SO UNDERRATED??? Seriously, it's four minutes long, about Kaeya and Diluc, and the story and cinematography is beautiful!

[@midwavesnight]

thank you so much ajskdhjksd im glad you appreciate the story and all the swoopy-ness going on in thr HAHAAHAH editing was a right pain but it turned out so well in the end

[@iguessimhere2632]

HERE BEFORE THIS GETS THE MILLION FUCKING VIEWS IT DESERVES, OH MY GOD?!!? HOW ON EARTH DID YOU MANAGE TO MAKE A *4 MINUTE LONG ANIMATIC*, CONTAIN THE BEST KAEYA AND DILUC NARRATIVE I’VE EVER SEEN, AND ALSO GO TO UNBELIEVABLE LENGTHS TO MAKE THE ART BOTH GORGEOUS AND DETAILED????? This is on my top ten favorite animatics now, I’m going to replay it

[@midwavesnight]

ur comment is everything omg thank you your appreciation for this animatic is amazing TT

[@whitebread353]

Ikr I've been playing this animatic on a repeat for many times

[@bottlecap8655]

Wow, this is amazing! I love how you tell both of their story's and the tension in the end that keeps building with epic fight and the super nice ending!

[@midwavesnight]

thank you! glad to hear you liked the scenes i went with :D

[@snazzyazzy]

BRO THE ENDING GOT ME CRYING THIS IS AMAZING

[@midwavesnight]

IM GLAD U LIKE IT AAHAHAHAHAH wipes tears

[@luv9397]

Ah, youve killed me

[@midwavesnight]

time for some cpr folks

[@savannahlarsen8925]

This is wonderful! Your art is as amazing as always, and I can't even imagine how long it took you to make such beautiful gorgeous animations. They're so fluid, it's unbelievable! Not to mention how well you tied together this song into such a compelling (and heart wrenching) narrative?? You're so talented, I adore this!!!

[@midwavesnight]

thank you!! and yea it took quite a while but i had fun putting it all together so i didnt mind one bit AHAHAH happy to know my art and storytelling are doing good work 😭💖

[@judymohamed903]

HOLY MOLY THIS IS AMAZING THE COLORS,THE DETAILS,THE BADASS SCENES,THE EYES,THE SONG,EVERYTHING IS PERFECT THIS IS SO UNDERRATED OMFG

[@midwavesnight]

so glad you liked it TT thank you for the compliments jkasdhjkasdhasjk

[@lexlay9899]

Okey but Imagine Dragons and Genshin Impact, specially diluc and kaeya *chef kiss*

[@Ranrinrunren]

AAAAAAAA I DID NOT EXPECT TO LOVE THIS, But here i am eating this up. This deserves more recognition😭😭 Kaeya pressing Diluc to fight him, the words, the style, the music, and all.. At the end he couldn't do it to his brother. It's a bittersweet end🥲

[@faraway-2009]

SCTEAMING SOBBING SJAJJSKAKAMM WATCHING THIS AT 3AM OMG UR UNDERRATED AF. I LOVE THE ANGST AND HOPEFUL ENDING YES DILUC FINALLY ACCEPTED HIM FINALLY GOD THANK YOU, I HOPE THEY WILL BE BROTHERS AGAIM NOWWW. YOUR ART IS SO GOOD OMG MAKE MORE!!!

[@midwavesnight]

I WILL!! thank you so much for watching n enjoying!!

[@NikoNikoSmart]

Wow On the start it just shows the story of two brothers, their sides, points of view, fighting with the world. And then in the end... the story repeats, though they kinda switched ("Raise your sword, -Diluc- -Kaeya- ") It's very beautiful!

[@ritsukakouran2561]

"The sun will shine on us another day, brother"

[@ewilansoleil]

HE'S ALIVE RIGHT?!??? Also it's truly magnificient, I love everything about this animatic, the drawings are amazing, the timing with the song is perfect, the actions are splendid... AND IT FITS SO WELL!!! I love this thank you so much! (also my heart hurts now, but darn it that was something)

[@midwavesnight]

KAEYA LIVES DONT WORRY AHAHAHAHAH i could never kill my fav off i am weak af, and thank you so much for the nice comments 😭😭 im glad you enjoyed it!! (sorry for the heartburn aksjdhjakdhadas)

[@draemyr3841]

WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS SO GOOD?? LITERALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS THE ART AND THE WAY YOU PORTRAY THEM IS AMAZING, THE SCENE AT THE END GAVE ME CHILLS i dont say this much but this is genuinely one of my favourite animatics, im going to be rewatching this for the rest of the week you did such a great job on this

[@midwavesnight]

this is such a nice comment omg 😭 thank you so much im rlly glad u like it!

[@sprout8426]

i'm coming back to this after 1 year because windblume brought back all the ragbros memories and oh my gosh my previous comment is NOT doing justice to this animatic. 3:37 the alternating perspectives of both of them of the past and present, THAT GAVE ME CHILLS. The entire fighting scene that follows, it's just so angsty. I cannot wait how mond's final story ends and what part the ragbros will play in it, I love them with all my heart i just want them to be happy already oml 😭 and even if their story ends tragically, it will still truly be such a poetic one. the ragbros to me are like the two fated brothers in an old legend fated to grow up together and die together, made of fire and ice having an underlying affinity for each other but the two can never meet, can never see eye to eye. There are soooo many beautiful ragbros animatics out there but this one always remains my favourite. Just the different parallels and perspectives and storyline, ITS JUST SO ASKJDHSFHG sobs

[@thinking1729]

WHEN I HEARD THE MUSIC I WAS SCREAMING ARCANE I LOVE THAT SHOW SM 😭😭 ANYWAYS GREAT VID! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :D

[@midwavesnight]

I NEVER WATCHED BUT IM GLAD U LIKED THE SONG CHOICE AHAHAHAH

WOOOOOO IT FELT LIKE A MOVIE THAT WAS SO GOOD MY MY-

[@leleluu9124]

loved this so much! what a masterpiece!

[@ryssa4349]

I like this personally, all the parts with Kaeya made me emotional I think :') I like your interpretation of Diluc and Kaeya's siblinghood I also like your interpretation of Kaeya's story and character's and I think it's refreshing to see🤩

[@AdeptiHotline]

The transitions. The song choice. Your art style and how you colored that fight. ITS SO GOOD OMG I subscribed before the video was even halfway omg.

[@tangledroses]

this is so incredible???? what the FUCK this is genuinely a masterpiece and you deserve so much more recognition for how gorgeous this animatic is!! now excuse me while i watch it 200 more times like a very normal person :)))

[@amberdaze7892]

oh my god THIS IS AMAZING!!! imagine dragons is truly my comfort band and the way you mixed the songs to tell the different pov's was masterful, as well as your effects :D

[@pointlesskiwi1162]

This. This deserves the true meaning of respect.

[@DiscoMechanics]

This is so different from the other animations i see of them! I absolutely love this ^^

[@midwavesnight]

oo interesting to hear that and thank you!

[@dandylion3452]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS. I love how you portrayed both sides of their story, before both their paths cross and intertwine again, forever this time because they're making amends at last. The animation is beautiful, the choice of music for each of them is so fitting, you deserve an award for this

[@jakaskotka6072]

I say only one thing. If some of them dies before they get along again, or would happen something in canon that doesn’t let them get along, I promise that I end with Genshin and cry in my bedroom

[@catchinggates]

I still come back to this because your animation was so awesome! Literal chills! Thank you for this gem

[@sarahrahaman8001]

Although I have different views, and I am not too interested in the key factors of this animatic, I cannot deny this is was absolutely gorgeous and well-done. The movement, stance, the details everything was great. Although the genshin community is at civil war at the moment, I wanna stop by and forget everything and just acknowledge how beautiful this

[@midwavesnight]

this is such a nice comment to get, thank you so much! im glad i was able to provide a lil respite from the scary part of the genshin community :,)))
