From Egeria to Furina 'Fate of Fontaine' [Hoyofair 2024 ] - Genshin Impact Fan Animation

[@RedVelvetVA]

I’ve been a fan of Cyclic_abelian’s work ever since I saw that one walk cycle of Arlecchino was posted on Twitter, so it really is a huge honor to be the voice director for this animation. It’s my first time to work with something akin to a trailer, and since it’s basically one last hooray for Fontaine we really wanted to do it justice. All the props to Chloe who voices both Focalors AND Furina for this video. She did wonderful with both. Thank you again for having us!! 🎉

[@clementlassalle4317]

Great work !

[@emilym1280]

Fantastic work from all involved! 🎉

[@benmanuel7905]

Doing Fontaine justice for it's hooray is indeed justice for the nation of Justice

[@Lucifer_Abysseum]

you wanted to do it "justice" huh ? x)

[@kokomithefish1327]

This is honestly the definition of “every frame is a wallpaper”

[@FireFang97]

it really is and I need them all

[@krazy167]

I LOVE EGERIA AND REMUS'S DESIGNS OMGGGG!!

[@motemo8413]

same!!! also is the character during 00:46 Erinnyes?

[@krazy167]

​@@motemo8413 Wait i genuinely thought it was Cassiodor 😭

[@motemo8413]

@@krazy167 maybe? but i thought Cassiodor would look like the rest(stone-ish) but maybe not. could be forgetting smth

[@yomasehkou11]

​@@motemo8413 Yes! That's Erinnyes, one of the Lochknights

[@Jullay007-jv4qx]

What an absolute masterpiece. The way you managed to summarize the bittersweet and wonderful lore of Fontaine, from Egeria and her Oceanids, to Remuria, To Focalors and Furina in just two minutes of beautiful animation is absolutely wonderful.

[@cyclicabelian]

Thankyou i'm so glad you enjoyed!!

[@clementlassalle4317]

The "story book" aesthetic you went with was an incredibly good idea, as it works perfectly with the themes of Fontaine ; not only that, but the execution of it, especially with the depiction of events and characters in illuminations, akin to what you'd find in ancient books from the Middle Ages, is truly something I had *never* seen in animation before - and it's brilliant. I also like all the little details that add to the high degree of quality of your work, such as the inclusion of the classic story book quote "Il était une fois..." in french ("Once upon a time..."), as well as beautiful lettering. It really enhances the whole experience, and makes it feel like we're genuinely opening that book and immersing ourselves in a legend of old. The use of one of the best Remuria-related OST was an inspired move, I felt like it elevated the storytelling even more. Finally, the sheer beauty of this work is beyond words - what can I say ? The colors, the facial expressions, the dynamic poses, the shots' composition, everything felt on point. I think I can safely say that you are, without a doubt, a great artist. Kudos to the voice-acting team as well, they did an excellent job.

[@cyclicabelian]

This comment has left me lost for words! Im so glad you have enjoyed the animation and its direction. Thankyou so much!! :D

[@user-Ud0ii_tKoVvA3]

This whole thing looks like it’s taken straight from an oil painting it is soooo beautiful

[@FirstLast-wk3kc]

Just... Just how... How can your art exceed the world this far?

[@mariapazgonzalezlesme]

The way you draw King Remus is BEAUTIFUL.

[@cyclicabelian]

Thankyou i'm glad you enjoyed the design!! :D

[@CrystalRubyMoon]

Using the OST from the Popping Bubbles puzzle in Remuria was GENIUS. Gosh I love that OST The art style is so beautiful and the animation very well done! You did a fantastic job with this!!

[@cyclicabelian]

Thankyou im so glad you enjoyed! I remember failing that puzzle so many times because i was so blown away by the OST i couldn't concentrate.

[@CrystalRubyMoon]

@@cyclicabelian Oh man same!! I had to do it 3 times because I just wanted to vibe with the music XD so glad they released the OST for it so now we can just listen to it all the time

[@Pixieebub]

The most beautiful artstyle that suits fontaine, I could watch hours and hours of this. SO SO SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[@cyclicabelian]

Thankyou for your kind words i'm glad you enjoyed!

[@_Choco_]

It looks so professional and official! You're such a gem in the Genshin animating community! 😭

[@himignicest1571]

YOU'RE A WHOLE ANIMATION STUDIO BRO WHAT THE FRICK.

[@ricardothompson5362]

1:56 - That smile killed me and then resurrected me😭

[@Starberry7]

Same dude

[@RirilexD]

THIS IS MY FAV OF UR ANIMATIONS SO FAR ITS SO GOOOODDDDDD!!!

[@melonsapphire]

Egeria, Remus, Euergetia, Boethius, Cassiodor, and i think there's Aurelius too: (the Harmosts) then Erinnyes with her scepter. Loving these designs ! I like that you include the chalice containing primordial water, the firstborn Oceanid from egeria's tear, & Egeria being guarded by Scylla in her prison.

[@Holmesay-hv4hg]

Thank you for giving Fontaine a beautiful, magical send-off! Also I’m crying at the detail on rewatch. Your story is amazing.

[@hannabio2770]

Egeria is one of my absolute favorite characters of "Genshin Impact"! She deserves more love and attention! Thank you for making this wonderful video! 💙💙💜

[@darkage1198]

Mother of Fontaine

[@Sofisasam]

your animations are always so incredibly pretty, this is SOOO stunning!!!😭

[@nozo285]

literally the best animation I have seen so far...sooo good

[@1L1KEP0TAT0ES]

This is one of the most if not THE MOST gorgeous animations I have ever seen, the way it ties all of the lore into it while remaining constant make this the literal best work of art I have ever laid my eyes apron. Now excuse me I’ll be witching this on repeat until I stop adoring it (forever).

[@LM-gf8mw]

This is so beautiful!!! What a masterpiece!!! One of the best fan animations I've ever seen!!!

[@-marie-san70500]

I swear everytime your animations get clearly better and better😭❤and you can just tell the amount of effort put into this too🤧

[@emilym1280]

Oh my god, this is a true masterpiece! This is Em Prout (used to be Morgan), by the way. I love all your animations, but you really outdid yourself with this one! All the blood, sweat and tears was so worth it. I know nothing about the game, but it doesn’t even matter! Wonderful work from the voice actors too, really brought everything together. You are so talented and I just know you’ll go so far with your animation. Sending love to you and your family ❤

[@KidaK]

This is so beautifully colored and animated. Every frame could be a background image!

[@little_angel3597]

Omg this is beautiful. First of I love the way you drew Egeria (I don’t remember if there was a canon design or not) and the quality omg, stunning. Honestly at this point if you made the Genshin anime I would actually cheer. Also are you ever considering another orv project? Good job I love this smm ❤

[@fgsfds__]

[@-Jazztrombone-]

I remember when I first came across your channel a year ago. My mind was absolutely blown by your Take a Slice animation, and ever since I could never get enough of your works Now watching this latest animation, my mind is blown once again by how much progress you've made! The details, the lightning, the composition: you've improved so much, and I'm so happy to be able to witness your artwork. Also--AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA can I tell you that that this has to be my new favoritest animation in the whole world like what????? I literally started tearing up midway through the video, I could not keep up! 😭😭

[@cyclicabelian]
