Mag 79 animatic: Hide and Seek

Did this all in one day if you're wondering why it's like that, wanted to get it out of my head before artfight lol

[@charliegibson4016]

His fingers twisting into spirals as he physically fills the space is so good and genuinely freaky???

[@count_vampyre]

can I tell you a secret? That's because I forgot the audio says "look at his hands!" as if tim didnt even see them and since I made mikey practically float around I had to think of something that would scare him 💀

[@therealelliotology]

I love his silly squiggles filling up the screen!!!

[@count_vampyre]

me too i just had to make his hair be the centerpiece

[@marcobuiatti9802]

I lobr how he turns less and less human at the end!

[@count_vampyre]

thank you! Im glad you noticed, just as tim started to notice i wanted it to be more obvious to us too! I also just like drawing michael with silly expressions

[@smolson8471]

I love your art style on him and how you take the opportunity to turn so many things into spirals like the little cheek blushes!!

[@count_vampyre]

Thank you for noticing! He's my favorite to draw since I already draw curls as spirals so mr spiral himself is just perfect for it

[@nonoo2157]

The way you draw Tim and Martin is 😙🤌🩷 The way Micheal D is drawn 💥❤️‍🔥✨️‼️

[@count_vampyre]

I had such a hard time deciding on designs for them, I know what they look like in my head but cant get it on paper

[@nonoo2157]

@@count_vampyre Understandable, have a nice day 👍

[@aylengavilan1157]

Same bud, Micheal is so 😖

[@334...4]

That's a perfect Michael ,also Tim's and Martin's faces at 0:57 cracked me up

[@thegreatpepsiman]

[@count_vampyre]

[@mollyc.5406]

[@count_vampyre]

[@thesunisdown.2250]

It's the most charming Michael I've ever seen in animatics like this! His just AWW, what a pretty distortion❤

[@count_vampyre]

@@thesunisdown.2250 michael is my favorite character so i have to do him right 💪

[@фантом-в6о]

“Probably watching the archivist die :D”

[@count_vampyre]

"Maybe not :D"

[@Just._Another._Creator._Leigh]

[@count_vampyre]

[@thatonegirl3391]

[@count_vampyre]

damnnnnn that would be so bad totally don't click on my linktree and go to instagram or anything.... hahaha that would be crazy (IM KIDDING I APPRECIATE YOUR COMPLIMENTS NO MATTER WHAT)

[@topsprout9275]

This is the Michael animatic ever

[@count_vampyre]

awww stop there are some really good ones out there

[@topsprout9275]

@@count_vampyre definitely! I think you just nailed the line between identifiably human and super freaky unnerving so well! The frame at 00:48 is so fun, it's very like fourth wall break-esque and caught me off guard with how direct it was!

[@count_vampyre]

@@topsprout9275 it scared me while drawing it thats how i knew it was good. Honestly the trick to making things spooky is expressions, the further you push them usually people will get uncomfy since normal folks aren't as expressive. That and wide eyes

[@AmbrosiaMooshine]

Yo this is amazing :)

[@count_vampyre]

thank you!

[@aylengavilan1157]

Micheal is so silly and funny, if i'm honest, i don't care if you call me obsessionate or wathever but I'm about to start watching The Magnus Archives because i see a animatic of him being a antagonist of between the archivest. I was only caught by his Zardonic character and the way they describe him.

[@count_vampyre]

if you start watching for michael just know he's got 30 total minutes of screentime in the show starting at like episode 47: A New Door

[@aylengavilan1157]

​@@count_vampyreDammit (⁠╯ಠ⁠□ಠ⁠)⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻ I hope those 30 minutes are worth it.
