Helluva Boss S2 Episode 9 "Apology Tour" Storyboards!

I storyboarded the boys finally talking~ Fun fact about the process for this one: the first conversation was boarded to a radioplay where I drew my scene based on the actors' voice performances, and then the second conversation was drawn first and the voices recorded after, so the actors based their performance on what I blocked out in the boards :)

I can't believe how real do you make emotional scenes feel, such a nice work, thank you!

[@SarahtheAutisticCartoongeek]

Her Artwork and comedy and the angst / the sadness is my therapy ❤

[@sunnijo]

This episode has some of the best facial expressions and body language in the whole series

[@lillyimaginator]

Agree

[@nexenzy5825]

5:05 "Stola's Twunk" OMG

[@Joannatsf18]

I love the red small notes around tbh 😂

[@Carossmo]

it's really storyboard notes XD it's gonna be always there

[@nth.aurora]

"silently cursing self out" T_T

[@LunarLuna13]

It's been so fun finding out all my favorite scenes in these episodes are storyboarded by you. You clearly understand how to express emotion through body movements and make it very clear to the animators what are the important parts to focus on in these crucial moments. Thank you for putting so much passion and attention to detail into your work and sharing that with all of us.

[@maloo897]

Love everytime Stolas turns his head before his body lol so fun Great work as always

[@МиленаПлясунова]

6:59 Blitz's expression feels so different, than it turned out in the episode, more gentle in a way. Astonishing work overall)

[@Caldella]

I was literally just saying a couple days ago that whoever storyboarded their convo at the party deserved some kind of award. Now I know who that should be going to. The way the body language and POV's were set to perfectly suit every sentence; it was so well done and so impactful. I've replayed a bunch of scenes from this episode so many times since it came out, just impressed with how it was all set up and came together.

[@camilla_luong]

I love the note of "Blitz just lets go, Stolas does not need to push away"

[@LilyBiby-dp9bi]

What I love about story board animation is how you can get a more intimate look on the character, Like 7:19 were you can see blitz’s thoughts, it’s so amazing! You’ve done wonderful♥︎

[@Noctalia2005]

Your work is so impressive. I love how every line a character say is reinforce with a mouvement or action while always keeping the scene moving and interesting to watch. For exemple, when Blitz sits on the chair and say that people couldn't handle that he moved on he's saying for him it doesn't matter, how do you emphasise that ? well he cross his legs on the table and checks his nails, that's how much he don't care. Or when Stolas says that he tried so hard to see him and supports him, he points the book he's holding refering to his grimoire and the deal they had and how Stolas ended it by giving him the crystal. This is what makes the shows so good, this is two exemples but in reality like I said it's in almost every line the characters say to each other, the amout of details is amazing.

[@Rose._.found_official0]

5:25 the "hmph" XD

[@wildfyah]

I couldn't help it. I cackled. I love Stolas and the casual reminders that's he's an owl

[@rafcor6799]

0:10 that scream 🤣

[@RachelMOYLE-dw6lz]

This was probably my favourite scene in all of helluva… stolas has so much emotion that both Bryce and the production team portrayed flawlessly… you did such an amazing job and I will forever be grateful for people like you who clearly love what they do and put a heck ton of effort into making this content ❤️

[@araanimations]

Can't believe just how good their dialogue is

[@vagabondangel2753]

Of course my favorite scenes in Apology Tour were storyboarded by my favorite Spindlehorse storyboard artist! I suspected it was you who included that jerk-off motion from Blitz in the opening conversation, I know from your work on the Addict video that you love that subtle jerk-off motion haha!

[@Biowoman.]

Oh I really like this, especially at 2:34. Because it's such a quick moment in the show I thought that Stolas was forcefully pulling away, I didn't realise that it was actually Blitz letting go on purpose. Good to know that little detail.

[@SarahtheAutisticCartoongeek]

This is the best Helluva boss episode, I love how you gave Stolas white pupils

[@ThatsSoWorm]

I'm so glad KZbin is actually showing me some storyboards for Helluva! I love seeing who put so much time and effort into making the show I like so much ♡ Thes3 boards are great and important scenes, and you portrayed them so well! Thank you!!!

[@evantourjee468]

Honestly I like hearing the conversation between them without the background music.

[@allowexp]

5:15 I love this part 😭😭😭

[@aaabirdman]

You handsdown MADE those scenes. Been inspired by this channel since the addict behind the scenes and now I wanna pursue storyboarding :)))

[@КокКокович-ы8ы]

Love that note on 7:35 x)

[@SarahDaWolfYT]

Right!!! Makes me actually wonder if the male succubus (?) demon in question really *was* interested in Stolas, or if he realized that the demon Stolas was talking to was Blitz, and took him away to spite him

[@Chesburger]

The timing and expression at 2:59 made me laugh more than anything else that episode, I'm not 100% sure that it was intentional but I assume it was and thank you for it because that had me bawling 😂

[@analaurav]

Incredible work as always Raph!!! I love seeing that the final animation turned out the same as the boards. The level of attention to detail that the entire Spindlehorse team puts into every stage of episode production is something that never ceases to amaze me ❤

[@PumatSol]

Hey so I’m just now discovering that the same person boarded every single one of my favorite scenes from helluva boss, no joke. You’re amazing. Thanks for all that you do :) Edit: YOU WORKED ON ANGEL DUST TOO? Episode 4 of hazbin was absolutely incredible. I’m blown away, seriously. What a legend.

[@Skellatinn]

I always adore how you make the emotions feel so real. Amazing work once again! 🥰

[@MyFireElf]

That part where Stolas collapses drunkenly into Blitz' arms - I haven't lost my dignity squealing like that since the first time I saw Diana the talking cat nestled in ChibiUsa's hair. So thanks for that.

[@kmurphy111]

Ditto! I’m a Stolitz shipper and him falling into Blitzø’s arms and being held there for a little while was my fav moment of this ep, and I loved this ep! Amazing work, thank you!!

[@kieranshae]

Me too! I flapped my hands in joy! ^^

[@bevinbrand4637]

These boards are incredible. I was losing my mind about the compositions during the episode and seeing the boards just solidifies it. The use of the book as a focal point to help tell the story of these two's conflict (the romance novel/fantasy fairy tale) is so inspired! Thank you for sharing this with us, I'm going to spend way too much time studying it. :)

[@peachybee5152]

This episode broke me

[@smokey8472]

You did a phenomenal job! I love the notes you add in the storyboards to help out the inbetweeners and animators. I feel like I am learning this stuff by watching your Hellaverse Boards. The entire team did a great job! I am excited for the next episode. And reading from your description, that's pretty cool you had them act it out to use them as a reference to draw for the first conversation. Bravos to you! ^^

[@wheeliescoot]

Your work is always so wildly impressive! And seems really easy to springboard rough animation from with the notes and proportions. Seriously amazing stuff

[@ChristinaMagma]

4:05 this scene was soooo good really hits you in the feels

[@haircut]

I will always be proud of your work. Well done 🖤👏🏽😎🏴‍☠️

[@unproducktive_]

I love your storyboardsss

[@chordsofsteel-i4j]

I didn't realize the story board artist was also BACKGROUND artist this is amazing

[@littlecookie366]

Gosh… this is amazing… well done :D

[@juanchopingo]

I really love your stuff! You have something really hard to find in a person, the TALENT of making drawings this alive is just... amazing!

[@LadyLatissha]

Fantastic work! It is always a pleasure to see your work.

[@Helluvafan62]

You did an amazing job!!!

[@m.a.ddragon939]

They deliberately gave the note not the turn the new incubus twonks head towards Blitz. You think he’s already noticed it’s Blitz? I get the feeling this new guy isn’t so great. It feels like that’s a hint

[@m.a.ddragon939]

But I’m probably wrong and this new guy is harmless right? I was suspicious of his tattoo because I thought it was the crest of Stolas, the heart with the crown, but I didn’t double check that. I just like theorising

[@hannaharnold9832]

I feel bad that Blitzo and Stolas used each other for their own wants and benefits. But Stolas seems to regret what he did to Blitzo, by using him. I hope those two will forgive each other and start a relationship with each other. But more importantly, I hope those two will turn around, face each other, and they'll look each other's way. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@hannaharnold9832]

To me, it looks like Blitzo really does care and like like Stolas with all his heart and soul, but he can't show or tell him, because he feels unworthy of love. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ But it seems like deep down in Blitzo's heart and soul, he really does care, like like, and love Stolas with all his heart and soul. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@ashly310]

I was searching for storyboards all day yesterday and i finally found some😭

[@che_pe_ha7425]

I love how you always storyboard the most emotional scenes, amazing work❤

[@sociallysatanic]

this is making me want to try my hand and doing storyboards so bad.....

[@nataliedombois6906]

there is just something special about your boards.

[@GatsbyBlueArt]

I was wondering who did Blitz's teethy shout!

[@citizenerased1439]

You did such amazing work with this ❤❤❤

[@livloecker]

AND THAT WAS STILL THE GAYEST THING IVE HEARD ALL DAYYY (16th btw

[@vinililacart]

fantastic work! could you clear up some doubts for me? i want to understand what all the animation steps are from the storyboard to the final product

[@KikiKilo]

Blitz: if I, “CrUsHeS uThAs FeElInGs”

[@AlliandoX]

Every scene you do turns into gold

[@gearguts7259]

You really knocked it out of the ballpark INSANELY HARD

[@maximus0wls6415]

As an animation student I love learning from Helluva boss. It's one of the shows that got me into animation!

[@sainaraawwmk]

that gulp sounds ahahahhhh

[@SamuraiAmes]

Always love your boards! These are amazing, congrats again on the episode 💖

[@BrooklynKitty852]

You always storyboard my favorite scenes!!! I love it!

[@Igor_Dust414]

You are so amazing🎉🎉🎉

[@rayeguns1566]

You're so fucking cool

[@lilkeyla5769]

i love seeing storyboards and the process

[@lilMALICEundead]

This is so cool! As someone who’s teaching themself animation as a hobby, this is so interesting. Thank you for sharing this, I learned a lot 😊

[@meg_goodman]

I love watching the storyboards. One day I hope to make animations,but now I don't even have a graphics tablet..I hope I would never lose the passion to draw,to create and express myself through art.

[@ginaxyiii]

ТАК КЛАССНО СЛУШАТЬ ИХ БЕЗ ФОНОВОЙ МУЗЫКИ

[@lazycouu]

Your work on storyboard has inspired me too much that encouraged myself to apply for a storyboard job on a small project 🥺💖

[@lammylamtama]

Dude you are so incredibly talented at capturing expression. There is so much life in their faces!

[@andrewsung3965]

2:42 how many times? What did he mean by that? Since when did Stolas ever told Blitz that he does not look down on him till now?

[@callmesshiba]

i know once in full moon but i think thats it

[@fruityhobi]

well stolas does make a lot of comments about blitz being an imp throughout season one ("my impish little plaything") which blitz did take as demeaning (im assuming) and actively did protest against it but stolas isnt very self aware and saw this as flirtful banter and thinks blitz is into it (im assuming hes really not) stolas has good intentions,, hes just not very aware of the very real social gaps between him and blitz

[@murray22]

Stolas's movements this episode is *chefs kiss*

[@bs6163]

Omg and these are my favorite parts of the episode, amazing job!

[@nunsongici]

always so brilliant and inspiring!!

[@idkRey]

THE BEST ANIMATED PART

[@MrTimshellscherber]

What’s it like being a storyboard artist?

[@casieropski]

This was specTACULAR

[@mikechicago6200]

Nice work Raphielle

[@sabrinasannino7563]

What a refreshing storyboard! Your spacial awareness in these scenes is rather remarkable. That begs the question: does the backround study come before or after the storyboard? I wonder if you've had refs of the places and simply placed the characters and made them act, or were actually given instructions and made the environment around them based on the acting you chose. This storyboard feels professional and very very easy to follow, well done!

[@allarehuman]

hehe im early

[@LizzyLazlow]

when he said wow to biltzo he sounded depress :c

Like a rough animatic, almost like key animation but the sketches

Wow- thanks for pointing that out! I had already watched this vid multiple times and would have missed that super cool look into the process! The marriage of the voices and the visuals worked fantastic both ways!
