NOT EVIL (A HLVRAI ANIMATIC)

COOMER PLAYING SEA OF THIEVES WITH RTVS... NOW THATS BIG BRAIN ENERGY

[@scripwriter3304]

this type of benry design, very round, somewhat indiscernible features, shadowed eyes,,, very good, my favorite type of benrey design, i just love that. also the references, and the hints of gay, and just everyone but gordon being all "yeah hes p rad actually" so fast which is p fucking similar to canon lets be real here............*chefs kiss*

[@wonkusbonkus8528]

I've noticed there's two main Benrey designs. 1. Sans but Benrey 2. Papyrus but Benrey Which is kind of fitting because of the skeletons.

gosh the end was so cute, cuz its true, it seems like Benrey really did try to be friendly in his own weird messed up way and he just didnt know how to show that he did want to be friends with everyone it seems like Tommy was the only one that really tried to get him always, and he even had moments with bubby the hug was so good, it was just Gordon understanding that theres more to all of this, he is just alittle troubled and wants company

[@tarponpet]

Yeah I've felt there is redemption for Benrey... though I can never get behind any of the ships.

[@ferweenie]

Why not???

[@tarponpet]

@@ferweenie Cause Benrey is meant to be hateable character and Gordon is in the right to not be taking his crap.

Love that little hl2 reference! And Bubby as Benny is so fitting, heh, the fact that he has the first mini duet with Benrey also fits his betrayal in act 3!

[@der2256]

when gordon says "He's clearly an evil queen", you can see the faint silhouette of someone that looks like G-man, who is saying something, though it's nearly impossible to see-

[@spooktspeek]

everything past "i never trick people into trusting me" is like the equivalent of eating chocolate with your eyes. the animation is just. really good spinning in animation really impresses me cause, as a semi-realistic artist (pfp does not check out its old art) i have a really hard time with spinning characters around. your style's cartoony but its still really freakin cool looking when spin. and the other stuff like the bang bang on the ground is well animated too. same with the stomp and everythin going all CRSHHRHH. for an animatic, you really animated this. good job!

[@spooktspeek]

the comment about sucking at spinning people and my old pfp are both out of date but uhhhhhh my point still stands this is banger

[@The8B1tWarrior]

I love specific scenes so much! How Benrey can change the environment he is in is such an underused element of his power. His pure size changes the game massively and no one uses it to their advantage and I love how it's used to him literally pounding the ground causing it to shake, the camera moving around him and then him stomping his foot causing the ground to rapidly terraform. I love those details

[@iguessmynamesriya7658]

I never cheat I never bribe I never scheme I never lie and that wasnt a lie when I said just now that I never lie cause i never lie And I never laugh when children cry And I never poison enemies of mine And I never cry when I'm alone at night Cause I'm not sad I love my life I'm getting off track Lemme get back to the point I was making Love this part

My gOD first of all wow they all look so great and stylized yet recognizable! And that part with hiding my true personality had me gASPING and the tantrum afterwards where Benrey hits the ground and all ohOhoho Don’t get me started on the black Mesa sweet voice part where he low key dances on them and it looks fantastic wowowow Just all around WOWOWOWOWOOW

God this song was made for him and I love it so much I've seen this like 20 times

[@taxidermybymail]

AAAAA! Benrey's character design in this is fantastic. Brilliant. The gentle, round shapes that communicate softness or an ally contrasted by the classic hidden face and sharp teeth villain motifs!!! AAAAAA!!! The black and white contrast while most of the protagonists are primarily white,,,,, also I love the way he moves his body language and posture is fantastic. What a vibe.

hi yea, back again after 3 years and rewatching hlvrai again, and i gotta say that this animation still give me actual chills when the beat picks up and benry slams his fists like a toddler to the tune and when he slams his foot down and the ground splits and rises... such good shit.. i dont really know what youre up to these days frostios but your an animatic and artistic genius and i wish you well on your future projects and just in general!

[@HarmonyTRE]

Okay, I've left two comments already, but I want to describe how much I love this in more depth. I've probably watched it over 10 times by now at different points. Every single time, I'm in awe. Things I love: - The art style! Simple black and white, and yet everyone is so shaped and recognizable. - The expressions. OHHHHHH the expressions. You can tell what everyone is thinking at any given moment. - It took me a bit to realize, but the fact that Coomer's pirate crew is RTVS and Holly herself puts a hat on him is beautiful. - Gordon trapped in a spider web. :) - Tommy trying to comfort Benrey when he mentions "loving his life". - The references to both the scorpion aesop's fable and All Dogs Go to Heaven 2. - The perspectives, fluid movement, and clear poses. - Bubby. Just Bubby. - The skeletons with the adjectives. And the little thumbs up. - Benrey dancing Gordon around and then dropping him. - The hecking fluidity of Xenrey!!!! - Science Team friendship has my whole heart. - The Benrey TURNAROUND. - The rocks rising up??? Coomer grabbing Bubby. - The Benrey smile shadow.
