No Children - dhmis animatic

[@ij6783]

I remember seeing this one Tumblr post like “ There not found family they tripped into a hole and started huddling for warmth” and I feel like that describes them very well.

[@frimi8593]

gonna start quoting this now, thanks

[@oliviastewart601]

Honestly. It really does. Especially in the new series, cause they're definition of family (albeit a bit Flanderized to account for lore and comedy) is kinda accurate. Family is whoever you hold dear to you, not some label on people you are related to by blood.

[@frimi8593]

@@oliviastewart601 I don’t see how the show flanderized their characters from the original series at all

[@oliviastewart601]

@@frimi8593 I meant the meaning of the family episode, sorry I confused you. Cause they said "family means people who you know and care about... And share the same lawyer, and all die in the same kind of accident on the same day." I meant this so I apologize for any confusion.

[@meer8524]

I'm going insane over these three because it's like. They are a family. They barely know each other. They are everything they have. They hate each other. They won't hesitate to fight with fists. They care so much. They don't give a shit. They are trapped in a nightmarish loop and are too selfish and stupid to do anything about it. Nothing matters. They love each other. They don't love each other.

Damn, the line "i hope you die. I hope we both die" REALLY fits them, huh? And the line "i hope that it stays dark forever" godddddd. You did an AMAZING job with the visuals in each lyric of this song.

sobs and cries and slams my fists against the table. it's so fucking good. I love your style you capture everything and everyone so BEAUTIFULLY. the softness and fluff contrasting the gore and sadness and existential dread. your emotional expressions are also beautiful and yellow in particular is making me feel for him so much. he's just a little guy!!! he's just a little dude!! I love this I love this I love this. been in the fandom 10 years and I'm so happy 😭😭😭😭 everyone is so wonderful making so many wonderful things

Isn't it cool to see how much personality has given the new show to the three? They're friends, but the bittersweet moments are there because each of them has their own unsolved problems.

[@pigen2693]

Godddd this is so well done! This song is strangely fitting for these three's relationship and this actually made me a little emotional about them surprisingly. Oh! and how you draw them is absolutely superb (I especially love how you draw my favorite little dude, yellow) and the use of colors and scenes is just, ugh! I love it so so much! And towards the end when the "I hope we both die" and it shows both the yellows as one that hit me a little hard, this is so amazing and heartbreaking at the same time, good job.

[@velichorus]

The song came up on shuffle soon after I finished the show and made ME emotional so I knew I had to do something with it. I'm glad you like it!

[@phospadparadschaa]

this is great!!!! made me emotional since i've been into dhmis since i was eleven, and now at 22 it still makes me so happy to see these puppets again. beautiful animatic and song choice.

[@velichorus]

It's really been an amazing experience growing up with this show :)

[@misshibiscus8076]

This is so beautiful and fitting. Especially the parts you did for "I hope it stays dark forever" "I hope you'd stay the hell out of my way" "Hand in unlovable hand"

[@artstetic]

the absolute last thing i was expecting was a serious animatic of these three, and you managed to pull it off in a way that fits too damn well and looks so damn clean. i am going to think about this for several days i wouldnt even say this song is predictable, it fits - a sort of joyful melody but depressing when you realize the situation. for this show it Fits Too Well. this makes my brain go nuts. not to mention just the incredible staging/setup of the entire thing. youve hit me with a bat filled with worms and i cant thank you enough

[@velichorus]

How very kind of you! And the image of a bat filled with worms is horrible, so thank you for that as well :)

this honestly makes me want to sob. i dont know how but you showed so much emotion in drawings of puppets and a guy with no mouth but you did it and did it beautifully. this honestly makes me feel so bad and i want to hug them all and make it all better and help them out and make them happy and get them out of the nightmare-ish loop they are stuck in. you made me feel so personally involved in their lives to where i feel like i know them and if i could talk to them i could save them. this is an amazing animatic good job :]

I'm compelled to apologize for the emotions, but I appreciate it!

[@f1cti0naI-fIynn]

@@velichorus no need to apologize it shows how great you did!!

[@jordanne229]

this is so good. connecting the lyrics about the junkyard to that scene was perfect, and don't get me started on the part from 0:49-1:01 with the death episode and how that fits so well. the way the composition of the shot with the ingredients turned into the funeral??? inspired. then there's the part from 1:18-1:27 with the perfect references to the family episode, so well done, plus how the photo then transitions to the scene of them in front of the fridge connecting it all back? literal masterpiece this video, the song already fits the characters well with its cycles and the unhappiness and the hating each other but sticking together/being stuck together despite it but you got the absolute fullest potential out of this song with this show!!!

[@velichorus]

I was thinking a lot about composition tricks I could try out for this, so I really appreciate that you appreciate them!!

[@ketchocolate]

I desperately need to tell you that I knew that DHMIS had been out. However, this animatic in particular was the last thing that convinced me to check out the new episodes and I'm so grateful. This is an absolutely stunning animatic with really good shots of the show.

[@velichorus]

You've made me think I maybe should have put a spoiler warning up for the show, whoops. I'm very flattered though!

[@jestersmith9349]

the colors are so nice within this! the contrast is really brilliant! ur use of that light grey blue color is pleasing to my eyeballs. it’s so expressive and thoughtful! I adore that you show both the good moments with the three of them alongside the really bad bad things. something about the way you draw the expressions is so nice? also i don’t know if cinematography is the right word for it, but you also put so much thought into how it flows (like starting and ending on the house!) the warping perspective on the door was so fascinating. I could ramble longer lol but my final thought is your line work!! the texture is so nice to look at? I notice it most with the face wrinkles and hair (like red guys hair, the messy strands of yellow guy’s hair? those like cheek lines!!! sorry for rambling, but I’m sure u put a good deal of thought n time into this n I really loved it and wanted 2 ramble!! thank u for sharing!!!

[@velichorus]

No need to apologize, you actually pointed out a lot of the things I had the most fun working out/on and I really appreciate it :D

[@LillianGraceFullofficial]

I like how you draw them like actual puppets. really awesome

[@Uuyrijies1123]

This show and this song gives me existential dread, but in a good way. Like falling while you’re skateboarding, or burning your tongue sipping a coffee. School and a dysfunction family is another, like cutting yourself while cooking, or stubbing your toe. I don’t know what to do other than watch amazing videos like this or skip school. Life gives people lemons, but what do you do when life gives you urchins.

[@xyzani3397]

This is most definitely gonna be getting more attention, such talent can't go unnoticed for long! This fits them so well! It definitely goes with the hopelessness emulated by the last few episodes. The dynamics in the show are unclear, do they hate eachother? Like eachother? Do they even know? Fantastic work, this has to be one of my favorite things made by this community.

[@velichorus]

Ah gosh that's so nice of you to say! And yeah, their dynamic is so fascinating to me and the way all the fans have explored it is equally exciting :)

Well, they're not a family, or friends, necessarily. Like many people forced together through various forces - they're prisoners in the same cell. Metaphorically. Kind of.

[@TravellerZasha]

I mean I could go in-dept about how much I love this animatic, the cool themes and symbolism like the use if only reds yellows and greens against grey (cause I love that) or I could mention that all the reds yellows and greens remind me is a math question I took earlier that mentioned red yellow green as a set and how I flipped out about it for an hour.

[@antlerpunk7276]

this is my favorite fan work to come out of the new series; your expressions are really strong, the way you depict scenes makes them instantly recognizable, and the transitions are smart. this animatic understands the puppets' dynamic the best out of anything i've seen. my favorite shot is 2:18. my reading of the perspective is that this is the stretched-out version of the kitchen from the final shot of the first season. that final shot is grim and cinematic but the image of them just going back to washing dishes together after that. combined with the song and where you put the scene in the animatic. makes for such a comforting shot as well as a comforting take on the puppets' ending/non-ending in shredding their supposed freedom i had never once thought of what might come after that final stretched-out kitchen shot but this makes sense. they Would just go back to the argument and the comfort and the hanging out. they're back in the loop; they will never die, they will never get sober and they might never become "aware" but maybe it's not that bad because they're together. fantastic fucking work i adore this video

[@velichorus]

I could have sworn I responded to this, but I guess not-- yes you're right, it's the funky Final Kitchen! You absolutely got the vibes I was going for, thank you so much for the kind comment :D
