TAZ Graduation - Ep. 22 - "Restraint" - ANIMATION

[@rancidprince3133]

Fitz squatting on the chair like he’s never sat in one before >>>

[@SirisLayer]

Fitz is just a dude slav squatting in a tracksuit and no one can take this away from me ☆

[@AriaBlue144]

For the love of GOD let Griffin be a player more often because Fitzroy Maplecourt, Knight in absentia to the kingdom of Goodcastle, is a joy to listen to

[@Alexandretta]

"He loosened the lid on that particular pickle jar" is one of my top all-time favorite TAZ lines.

[@LB31873]

Ah yes, Fitzroy being unable to sit still. New headcanon adopted.

[@hannahthomas249]

I have so much love for this video. The way you have Argo's fingers webbed, the way Fitzroy's ears move, the little flashes to Argo's rage growing as well... My gosh. I just finished listening to this episode for the first time and this was on my YT feed, and it is glorious.

[@Feasco]

holding onto thar chair like its the only thing keeping him from doing a whole lot of murder

[@thebadpoet]

Fitzroy just rage clambering all over his chair is so delightful

[@romanic__]

I love this animatic, also just Fitzroys rage meter is great lmfaooo anf when he gets mad and low-key threathen the commodore is just

[@barbglennie]

The bit with Argo twitching and Fitz glancing at him is such a perfect little touch! Loving these, nicely done

[@kitarathousand8213]

Fitzroy perched on the chair like a gremlin in great. I don't remember if it was established in the scene or if it was an artistic choice, but bless you for portraying it

[@percym.6108]

Fitzroy is so diehard for his boys and i love it ❤

[@kennethsmith383]

Travis really seemed to dislike Clint's character. And Justin didnt seem to engage with this csmpaign. Griffin trying to include them and especially the genasi was great. I never got to finish graduation though, but maybe I should try again.

[@90geekgirl06]

Hey. I fucking love EVERY frame of this. Just. The lip sync is on point. The character design is fantastic. The facial expressions. The rage meter. Love this so much.

[@BurningFyre]

Ooh, love the visuals on Fitzy getting more and more angry

[@squishmac]

I love that Fitzroy only starts to get really angry after noticing Argo freaking out, such a nice touch that adds a lot of emotion to an already emotionally charged scene!

[@Wasillian]

The Thundermen are very underrated. I liked this season a lot.

[@BostonTerrierLOVE]

Whoa. So good. So cool. Those eyebrow raises chef's kiss. Just the whole thing! The expressiveness you employ brings whole new dimensions to the audio!

[@1mjfan90]

I miss Fitzroy Maplecourt so much every single day of my life🥲

[@riverdasgard860]

I've watched this so many times that when I recently relistened to this episode, this was the visual I had in my head. Utter perfection.

[@bagelprince3]

LOVE how you did argo's finger webs hehe

[@rosemarycat5]

Hi yes I'm rewatching this (This was one of things that made me listen to TAZ graduation in the first place), and can I say that this is GOLD

[@SirisLayer]

Hello yes omg tysm! I'm so happy to read this and I hope you had a blast with Grad Start to Finish ♡

[@davidfalterman8713]

The electricity CRACKLING through Fitzy at the end 😭 extremely good work as always! Love the callbacks to your earlier Fitz mixtape video 😍

[@fifinostalgia]

The Thundermens are the defanition of 'Just Guys Being Dudes"

[@laceyjs92]

Ah this is SO good. Not enough Graduation appreciation out there, love Griffin’s snarkiness in this scene

[@-freshsans]

Why didn't people like Graduation, it was so good? Great job, broski!

[@thebadpoet]

I listened to Graduation first! And just relistened not too long ago. I think there were some flaws in the premise, but if it wasn’t their pandemic arc I don’t think people would have been SO awful and nasty about it. It has flaws, but man in 2020 we were all just living in our amygdala’s and our cortisol was spiking and reactions were not rational. The McElboys were dealing with all that stress and strain as well, and probably didn’t do as good a job storytelling as they would have under better circumstances. Anyway. That’s my theory!

[@magiclain]

LOVE THIS!! Your drawings are so expressive, snappy, and fun lmaooo especially love how Fitzroy is just humanly incapable of sitting down like a normal person. Bless.

[@lythrumsalicaria]

Oh I love this! This was one of my favourite graduation bits :) I love all the little details like Fitzroy's ears moving up and down and the rage meter, and the lightning and bg colours are so cool!!

[@DeerBonesBaby]

Dude the animation is SOO snappy and expressive! This was a joy to watch start to finish!

[@adrianen4644]

How is this so good??? The expressions, the lighting, the special effects, holy wow!

[@AmerGreystoke]

We have been blessed again with another of your work!

[@SirisLayer]

At this point I'm just "fine ill do it myself" And continue to animate all of graduation. (This is not a promise, it's a joke pls don't use this against me in court)

[@AmerGreystoke]

@@SirisLayer Somebody's gotta bring Fitz to life

[@romanic__]

I can't watch the premier bc bad wifi, but I know this animatic is gonna be great when I do get to watch it!

[@wiki_learner]

I love this animation so much! good to see Graduation getting the absolute quality animatics it deserves!

[@dumpy_frog]

Tazgrad serves all the animatics

[@glimblombo]

The timing for these videos is perfect for me. I'm slowly making may way through the taz arcs, and your graduation animatics bring me a lot of joy and genuine excitement. I think your designs of the different characters are so clever and well thought out, and I can't imagine the amount of effort you put into these. My gosh, the anatomy and movement must take a long time, but I'm so very thankful you've made these. I love them, and I hope you love them too, despite the massive effort thay take no doubt.

[@SirisLayer]

Omg tysm. This is such a nice thing of you to write. Rest assured that I indeed enjoy making these. They bring me tremendous amounts of joy and fun ☆☆☆ seeing other people enjoy them makes me even happier 😊

[@riverdasgard860]

Your Fitzroy brings me joy Please I need you to animate all of Graduation thank you. Also, I would love to see you do a scene with Snippers. I love the little crabby boy.

[@taakofromtv150]

I’m just hearing Mariah in my head

[@RoryKatherin03]

Fitzroy my beloved! This is so expressive I love it!

[@Wurmland]

This was DELIGHTFUL!!!

[@rosemarycat5]

wow the posing is so expressive and wow wow

[@taakofromtv150]

Oh Fitz

[@kquinnvandevelde1384]

Ah, such good animation.

[@AngelichuXD]

love the expressions!

[@lp3266]

SOOOOOOO GOOD

[@friendlyurchin2388]

This is FANTASTIC:D

[@rosieryan9212]

impeccable !!!

[@LoganWarren444]

Oh I LOVE the way you portray Fitz's magic and the way he twitches and the RAGE METER? This is SUCH a good animation all around and I had nearly forgotten how GOLDEN this scene is.

[@vimalanchuk2009]

Hi. Uhh. Imma throw this out there to the wind and hope my whisper is heard. The moment at the end of episode 20 where The Firbolg tells Sabor the truth about what is at stake? Best moment of the show imo. If you wanna keep running the tax grad animanoc torch I'd love to see that one. It's just a good moment. If not, love the vids gj gj gj

[@SirisLayer]

Definitely still animating graduation. But I'll have to take this Suggestion and put it on the future pile as I currently have already a few things im working on. :) thank you for the Suggestion tho it is indeed an excellent scene!

[@SirisLayer]

Hi so. Update. I don't know how long it will take or what quality it will be but I've started work on this suggested scene.

[@sycastells1212]

Thundermen sure do stick together and I love them for that

[@rowen9]

Yessss I love this scene
