TAZ Animatic: Lup

Wow its been a while since I've uploaded. I was originally going to do a completely different animatic but when I heard this episode I scraped it and worked on this. I'm happy with how it turned out and I hope you enjoy!

so serious and then in the final moments... "YOURE DATING THE GRIM REAPER???"

[@cursedalien]

That's proper Sibling Energy right there

[@FerretLance]

I love her expression at Merle "no that wouldn't do"

[@Storybard]

Ferret Lance thank you! I had a lot of fun working on that frame.

[@rattatattattattat2027]

"Sorry Merle *YEET* "

[@lorendaemon7945]

Hey uh not to be dramatic but I'd die for Lup Taaco

[@gowcow6074]

Loren Daemon Omg I totally forgot that since Taako’s last name is Taako, Lup’s last name is also Taako 😂🤣

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

@@gowcow6074 Taaco* Taako's name is Taako Taaco

[@audrey9947]

@@CoRLex-jh5vx actually, that is completely fan-created. In the setup, Clint joked that Taako's last name was just Taako spelled a different way, but he said "T-A-C-C-O," not Taaco.

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

@@audrey9947 ok, but taaco is the only last name they're ever given, so when using a last name, that's basically the only option. No need to be a buzzkill, bud

[@audrey9947]

@@CoRLex-jh5vx I'm just saying that canonically they have no last name so to correct someone's spelling of their noncanonical last name is a little unnecessary

[@aerinpage]

This entire video was absolutely beautiful but I have to admit the "you're dating the grim reaper!" scene had me in tears that I was legit playing it over and over again

[@radiium1804]

Lup's face when Merle had his hand on the Umbra Staff is comedy gold

[@rorygiambalvo2955]

"phantasmal and resplendent" is such a wonderful phrase, I'm not sure why I love it so much but I do. Also your style and posing and such are wonderful, this drew me right back into the story as if it were the first time hearing it. Good job!

[@doggod106]

Damn, Barry is a lucky dude.

reasons lup is the love of my life (and the visuals for this are gorgeous)

[@Storybard]

Ysaedda thank you!

[@zoroarkking18]

Thank you for your lich-Lup design. I needed a better visual idea in mind and this is perfect. Just sort of an invert of her facial features inside the hood.

[@autumnrussell4794]

Holy shit okay I was crying over this until I saw Lup's face when Merle touched the umbrastaff that was just gold thank you

[@ladyoftheworlds]

I'm not saying I'm crying but also I extremely am

MASSIVE MOOD

[@spacetrashpile7199]

No what have you done

[@Madsthenightowl]

Yeah same

[@TheAceUpYourSleeves]

Oof

[@sed6657]

I sometimes wonder how much this story would have changed if Merle has made that roll and picked the staff up...

[@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123]

Maybe make it so it's always disobeying Merle/make it so Lup is fine with just being close to her brother

[@nyxus_s]

without context this might've been the funniest shit i've seen

[@Safrina001]

I can’t believe I had my heart ripped out and drop kicked in a perfect arch on a one way journey to Gay Valley like this holy hell

[@CallaSoreon]

Your Lup design is wonderful! And this is lovely, your expressions are perfect and this is one of my favorite scenes.

[@Storybard]

Calla Soreon thank you! I really appreciate it!!!

[@suburbanmuse5659]

So awesome! My favorite touch is Kravitz skull-head just sort of floating over his shoulders, I love that visual 💚

[@Storybard]

suburbanmuse thank you! I had fun drawing that scene.

[@JoeGoBlue11]

I listened to this part of the episode several times, and missed several critical pieces, but hearing it with your wonderful animations made it truly come to life.

[@Storybard]

Joe Yancey thank you!!!

[@erwohnthiernichtmehr]

wow! I love the little added detail of Lup's hair moving in the breeze in the beginning. And your Edward design is amazing

[@DiableJambeT]

Thanks I'm crying!! Have to pretend it's this spicy food I'm eating and not my dismay at how much I love these elf twins

[@Storybard]

DiableJambeT Spicy food, the classic 'im not crying' cover up.

[@catmonkshiro]
