She Doesn't Sleep // The Magnus Archives Animatic

After finishing the Podcast - this took me four days to complete and it's my first ever attempt at an animatic.
I have been wanting to do an animatic to this song for over half a year though!
I do not own the Song! It's called "She Doesn't Sleep" by Anthony Amorim and you should definetly check out the full song.
The characters are inspired by the Podcast "The Magnus Archives" by Rusty Quill and they have ruined me in a good way.

Heh, the pipe being in the shape of and Ellias using it like a classic cane as a showman would is just great. He can pretend he's a manipulator and planner all he wants but he has too much a flare for the dramatic and too desperately wants his achievements to be seen and recognised.

[@chaoticdumbasswithoneworki3875]

god this was WONDERFUL!! the classical showman vibes i get from elias, the lineup with everyone and the little detail of the eyes closing for those who died, the lighting.. this was AMAZING

[@darkrogue9158]

my main take away from this out side of it being great is i love the idea that elias just had that pipe around the archives with him and no one really questioned their boss just walking around with a pipe

[@ThatOneArchivist]

I wouldn’t either tbh, your business is not mine boss 😊😊

[@nebulaeclipse6304]

oh HELL YEAH I've been thinking abt this song being a song for a potential TMA animatic for like,, over a year now!!! I definitely saw this as more of a Michael and/or Helen song but wow!! this was an amazing animatic

[@polekands]

gahhhh someone noticed :D hsfgfdhjghs thank you so very much!

[@spooks0201]

The eyes closing for the friends that died I-

[@florofern6470]

I usually think of this as a Gertrude song but this works so well! I love Elias waving his pipe lmao Also I love the monochrome colourscheme with the green accents

[@nacho6438]

I love this song so much and I usually assign it to some sort of story that I’m interested in, so I am genuinely baffled that I didn’t think of this. Gorgeous concept and artwork. This made me really happy :)))
