Halloween Special ANIMATIC | (The Adventure Zone Live)

[@goforbabs]

Stygian (adj.) : very dark. This animatic: very good.

[@the_ria]

Your comment: very kind!

[@leopoldbloom4296]

dark and/or murky, it derives from Styx (river, not band)

[@cloverlucky5977]

@@leopoldbloom4296 I'm gonna name a band "Stygian: derived from Styx (river, not band)"

[@sorio99]

I do love how “Defeat Dracula” and “Befriend Dracula” both ended up being the solution, thanks to Taako.

[@grimmmorio]

His name is Dra-cool-a

[@lilred5515]

Because vampires aren't for kids so he only says it like that so all the babies know how cool they for vamping

[@ganjamcninja]

Now you got me thinking Jake Coolice is a Dracula.

[@poeticcinema5857]

Dra-cool-la the skater teen

[@timhart2009]

I love how DM Griffin peeks out from behind the “curtain” of the scene. Brilliant animatic! Subscribed.

[@the_ria]

Thank you!!! I'm glad you like it :)

[@cordial_corvus]

The way you depicted Trav's delivery of "context clues, mostly" was perfect, on top of the rest of this just being chock full of character. Loved it, can't wait to see more!

[@the_ria]

Thank you so much! That's very kind of you and I'm glad you enjoyed :"D

[@abbycaldwell3166]

The little spin on discomboblulating gives me life

[@averychaco8831]

I looove how deep his voice gets when saying "discombobulating"

[@michaela765]

The shapes in your character design are so joyful ahh

[@the_ria]

thank you so much! i'm glad you like 'em, that's something i tried to put more thought into :)

[@nevaehgordon7081]

I’ll never forget this scene because I was at this live show and while they were introducing Dracula and goofing the very tipsy woman in the seat in front of me laughed so hard her whole body kinda lurched and she, like, chucked her cup of beer over her shoulder with the motion and all over my poor service dog at the time who was being such a wonderful boy but already looked beyond exhausted by how rowdy everyone was where he was curled at my feet and the look of utter betrayal from him is a look I’d never seen before or since 💀

[@rionbird6070]

I was there too! when they teased the Castlevania whip I squealed with delight

[@spacetearable]

"You have to stop asking me if you know things!" BIIIIIG DM mood right there.

[@flairhayden]

I got to say, anybody who skips the live shows is missing out on one of the best companions that they ever meet, Actual Dracula™️

[@sylph8005]

Who, it should be noted, is *completely different* from the guy in the movies and novel.

[@lilyfae7197]

Aww, papa Clint reassuring his song on the fancy diction

[@rotmuscaria]

Oh gosh, I had forgotten how much I liked this particular live show! This animatic is *chef's kiss*

[@the_ria]

Thank you so much!! It's one one of my favorite live shows as well :D

[@marsupialsofmars3886]

I love how Taako pats a hand on Merle's head when he introduces him

[@the_ria]

Thank you! I'm glad you caught that :D

[@Pablo360able]

To be fair, *I* haven't met two bus drivers named Keith.

[@YorkJonhson]

Everyone trying to contain their excitement and mirth waiting for the inevitable Dracula voice was perfect.

[@ChoralAlchemist]

Dracula’s face melting 😂😂😂😂 THIS IS SO GOOD!!!

[@the_ria]

thank you! I'm glad you liked it :D

[@vashani]

The irony that in this the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty four, the boys now are on a mission to kill their best friend, Dracula.

[@the_ria]

The betrayal!!

[@argella1300]

Technically “Dracula” just means “Son of the Dragon” and Vlad the Impaler did in fact have a younger brother soooooo

[@shaec8342]

THE SPIN WITH “DISCOMBOBULATING” HAHAHAH

[@Musicman3812]

I didn't realize how badly I wanted this animated until I had it! I love your styles so much, and the attention to detail and flavor is phenomenal (like Merle's arm and Drac's little wings)! Would love to see more animatics!

[@the_ria]

omg thank you so much! honestly, comments like this one is what really makes me wants to keep going :')

[@Musicman3812]

@@the_ria Glad to help provide motivation haha, thanks for the wonderful animatic!

[@origaminosferatu3357]

Superp. Griffin peaking behind the curtain. The brothers' reactions protracted through their characters, the little trips into characters' heads - so inventive and watchable.

[@the_ria]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed at this is honestly such a big compliment

[@isabellagarcia2023]

Adventure Time Adventure Zone..... top tier mashup

[@MarxSoul2001]

Oh this. This is delightful. Everybody is so friend-shaped!

[@MollyGrace]

This is incredible, I love your portrayal of the curtain, the way Dracula does his little spin, everything!

[@the_ria]

Thank you very much! I'm so glad you like it

[@ASleepyTanuki]

They’re all so cute omg

[@Oatmeal_Queen]

I love this! There are so many great details, like the cloud glasses and the little spin with "discombobulating." This needs more views, especially since we're in October! Stellar work :)

[@the_ria]

Thank you so much! That's extremely kind of you to say :'0

[@alexj4239]

these boys are so ROUND!!! and I love how taako says justin’s comments to the audience as if they’re addressed to magnus and merle

[@jessicawoolfram395]

The way you draw Magnus is delightful :)

[@Uncle-Jay]

These animatics are amazing and does a great job at refreshing old content that I've listened to countless times. It really makes me wonder why they haven't tried to do something like they have with Harmon Quest. If I was the Adventure Zone guys, I'd be reaching out to see if we could get some of these talented artists to do like a whole season.

[@psyducktective]

The way you draw these boys makes me so happy to look at and see with my eyes

[@the_ria]

omg i'm so happy to hear it! thank you very much

[@andrearogers7814]

This animation has adventure time vibes and i love it

[@brentjohnson4212]

Lmao “context clues, mostly…”

[@lazynoodle6739]

Oh the way staging (?) With shots changing and stuff is so impressive! Wow I love how much it adds

[@the_ria]

Thank you!! :')

[@khyriyyah]

This is one of my fav TAZ bits because in the end they really did wind up befriending him lol

[@ericchan5396]

I love that all the characters look like Cool Babies.

[@joaoguilhermeassim]

I now really want to see the scene where Taako cures Dracula's vampirism with his magic stone animated

[@the_ria]

I actually wanted to add this moment to the animatic as well, but i got scared of how long it turned out to be lmao there's always tommorow tho!

[@joaoguilhermeassim]

[@kratertot]

omg I hope you do more, this is so choice 👌👌👌
