OC ANIMATIC- KARMA by AJR (tw- mental illness, addiction)

(STORY INFO BELOW) Wooooo after a month of on-and-off work, my second animatic is done! I battled being kinda unmotivated to finish, but I'm... happy with how most of it turned out.
+++
Meet Yandel- a kid who's got a lot of issues and a murky past that even he doesn't fully remember. Traumatized and stuck in a Reform School for rehab, all Yandel wants is help. Sadly, his therapist Dr. Bloomian cares more about publishing a book to promote her own research than helping him work through his Complex PTSD and addiction. Hopefully he can find someone who is willing to help him soon. Watch til the end to find out :)!
Characters in the video:
Yandel (tall boi)
Dr. Bloomian (uncaring therapist)
Dr. Corrgis (caring therapist)
MUSIC USED:
Karma by AJR: • AJR - Karma (Official ...
(End) Plaid Plaid Purple Morning: • biosphere - plain plai...

My emotions have been unstable recently, and I normally bottle them up since they started from years of the same trivial annoyances that build up, and this is letting me cry and it's an amazing animatic

This is sickening, beautiful and probably too relatable to be wholly healthy. And I love it so damn much. Thank you for making this animatic, it truly is a pleasure to watch no matter how many times I’ve seen it.

[@catolotl22]

this animation hits different as this happens everyday and no one helps its kinda funny as people look up to heroes but some people get skipped…that’s how a villain is born…

[@bloodmarch9]

Man, I literally just searched up “karma ajr” and then I stumbled upon this animatic. Honestly, I’m so invested in the story and I can’t believe that you have under a 100 subs! Yt is so unfair, smh. But seriously, this is amazing! Keep up the good work dude, also, I want to give him a hug I feel so bad =‘( ❤️

It's super unique and put together! Not to mention all the different perspectives, and how the viewers see what's going on from Yandel's point of view and how hurtful things were, like the security guards being seen as demonic creatures. Each and every scene was well thought out, and you can really tell you put in a piece of your soul in this lol. Keep up the awesome work, and take your time!

appreciate the yellow teeth, small detail but not a lot of artists want to draw attention to that side of mental health management because its not very aesthetic.

[@maryofbears6252]

I’m glad you noticed that! I’ve made a habit to try not to constantly draw perfect teeth for similar reasons. Id think that a lot of times it would probably be hard to take care of your teeth when you’re going through mental struggles or drug addiction. It’s not pretty in the slightest, and I didn’t want it to be (oof sorry for the rant, I’m just really excited someone noticed!)
