No Longer You - OC Animatic

This song fit Tenebris a bit too well so of course I had to make an animatic for it! Here is some context!
It all starts when Tenebris was a child. He grew up in the shadow of his half brother, Caxton, making him the less talented, less important of the two. When Erwyna, a powerful witch (the one with the glowing white eyes), recruited Caxton as her apprentice, Tenebris felt left out and asked if he could learn magic too. Erwyna could see in visions that there was darkness brewing in Tenebris and he would grow to use magic for evil. So she turned him away which unfortunately ended up setting Tenebris on his dark path anyway. He became angry and ran away from home seeking refuge in the Shattered Plains where he met Ena (the black and red shadow). This moment is what takes place in the animatic.
As for the visions Erwyna sees, here is some more info regarding Tenebris’s future.
Ena trained him in dark magic and turned him into a weapon to use at her disposal. She is manipulative and cruel but is the only one Tenebris has ever received praise and acceptance from, so he stays. Toward the climax of the first part of the story, Ena tells Tenebris that she never really cared about him and used him for his destructive abilities. This is a heavy betrayal for Tenebris and in a heartbroken rage, he enters the final battle and faces off with Caxton. The Hall of Heroes ends up rescuing Tenebris and they bring him back to Soluna and slowly start undoing years of Ena’s manipulation. He is not very well received by most people and is avoided and treated coldly. Especially by Zosintha who still has not forgiven him for kidnapping Desmond (see my Ready As I’ll Ever Be animatic). Tenebris then meets a Nymph named Evanora at a ball and they slowly grow closer and closer. Tenebris is hesitant because he is still haunted by his past with Ena but Evanora knows this and chooses to love and accept him anyway. She sees how hard he is working to become a better person. Then another battle with Ena occurs and a dangerous spell is shot in Zosintha’s direction. She does not have time to dodge it but Tenebris jumps in front of her to shield her. He is hit instead and is badly wounded but does not die. Zosintha takes note of how he risked his life to save her and begins to forgive him.

Gods I wish I could draw so I could do this with my characters

[@user-dy1dz1lz9t]

I'm writing a book with a world where ethereal fantasy creatures struggle against humanoid animal amalgamations for control... Maybe you'd like the OCs featured there.

[@QueenofArtsnlb]

@user-dy1dz1lz9t I really appreciate the offer! However, for the time being, I would prefer them to stay within their own story. But your book sounds like it will be a very good read!

[@user-dy1dz1lz9t]

@@QueenofArtsnlb Yeah, it's... also kind of a sequel.

[@maxdon2001]

[@bobtoby5589]

WOW, honestly nothing but respect. Do you have any other plans for more animatics???

[@QueenofArtsnlb]

@bobtoby5589 I do actually! I am taking a small break to work on some personal projects but I do have another animatic currently in the planning stage!

[@conradsmight2220]

Swag

[@anoymouskitten]

Holy cow this deserves more views! Algorithm do your thing! Do you have other socials for like your characters/stories? If so you should probably put them in the description/in a pinned comment. I think people will check them out!

[@QueenofArtsnlb]

@anoymouskitten Thank you so much! 🥰 I do not have a place for their info just yet but I have plans to make a place for it in the near future!

[@Luverse_]

i like the animatic ! But i have a question : In her visions, did Ena saw that Tenebris would turn good again ?

[@QueenofArtsnlb]

@Luverse_ For the purposes of the animatic, yes, but in the canon of the story she did not. Erwyna can only see so far into the future. I just have to make some minor tweaks to fit the songs lol
