The Final Battle - Wild Life finale animatic

[@Tzulander]

I love that period just after a life series ended and everyone starts to make awesome fanart/animatics. It's like having cake and eating it.

[@MiluranZ]

Wow I was thinking about the exact same thing right before I read this comment

[@Indigo_dingo]

I've never had my art compared to a cake and I think this is the best compliment ever.

[@RoseBerryYeeps]

exactly!!! we fans are hungry and the artists deliver!!!

[@ThreeAndAHalfOfDiamonds]

@Indigo_dingo your art is stinkin delicious ofc it’s compared to cake! :D 🫶🙌💜

[@MelonHere20]

So truuuue

[@Cardinal_claw]

I just love how Grian made it to the final two, and ended it all with a fall again. So much poetry

[@Spottedleaf44]

Ooooo

[@L-ghtlessSky]

“I will give my life for you, it’s your turn.” moments later: “I worked so hard on this season, i’d love to win it!”

[@ThreeAndAHalfOfDiamonds]

literally yes exactly what i was thinking when i watched it for the first time 🤣

[@InkOrEMQW]

He didnt trust that Joel was gonna survive LMAO

[@Chocolat8Snorg]

The enchanting table text at the end says: Thank you for watching

[@UnkownWonders]

If we ignore grian and what he said in his episode he held up to his promise that joel will win

[@CaptainKillroy]

If he had survived the fall, I reckon Grian would have offered to do some kind of stand off ... But of course he didn't

[@RobTFilms]

Grian's POV: doesn't have Grian say Joel could win and that he'd sacrifice himself whatsoever

[@L-ghtlessSky]

IN CHARACTER EDITING!, EAGHHHH

[@UltraAryan10]

sounds like watcher lore could be made out of this

[@Indigo_dingo]

yeah! I watched Grian's pov first and then Joel's, I was surprised that the sacrifice part wasn't there! but I animated it anyway :) love the angst

[@phone_gal]

my favorite part about all of these is looking back at each winners victory Grians felt sad Scotts felt triumphant Pearls felt shocking Martyn… that man scares me and for scar i think we all felt the same as scar himself, aloof and surprised and now Joel, it felt sudden, kinda surreal tbh because of how fast Grian died AUGH i love these little sillies and their unscripted smp feeling so cinematic

[@alicebailey8794]

Just martyn being that man scares me is honestly true ngl

[@holyspaceoctopus]

I loved the other winners and the references to Limited and Last Life at the end. I'm hoping for an Etho win next because it would be so perfect, all the past winners are Double Life duos after all.

[@makushonjongramiresu1577]

Finally, someone is adding Cleo into life series winners animatics

[@krismonzalez9482]

The tone shift when the beat drops at 0:24 is so good. I hear the music and all I can think about is heavy breathing and someone asking; “What the hell did you do?”

[@paigesingleton5828]

I was thinking the same exact thing 😭

[@Indigo_dingo]

the flashbacks.. man, I need to rewatch all of Late August's animatics again, they're masterpieces

[@pecenekure202]

@Indigo_dingoyes! I immediately thought of them bc of the music. Good fucking job!!

[@kawaiigamergirl4432]

Galactic translation says "thank you for watching"

[@Glarestar]

And then Grian followed through on his promise.

[@foxysparrot]

WHAT ARE THEY FEEDING THE LIFE SERIES ANIMATORS. THIS IS SO COOL????

[@Indigo_dingo]

mostly junk food and way to many sweets. Oh and also lots of water and stress :) somehow we're still alive

[@jzxgaming6887]

I dont know what crack life series animators take to get banger animations like this out this quickly. But bravo keep it up.

[@shroo_3933]

This is absolutely amazing, like it’s crazy you made this on your own! I love how you added a hint of watcher lore at the end, it really fuels me! This is why the life series is so amazing, it’s not only the videos but the fanart and stuff like this! 🫶🫶🫶

[@Gooseisgoodenough]

Little theory I have, if it sucks being a winner, maybe at the end when Grian was still trying to kill Joel, what if he didn’t want Joel to have to become a winner. Idk just a thought

[@chickensoup1025]

OUR KING STANDS VICTORIOUS AND HE DESERVED IT SOOOO MUCH ❤❤❤

[@unluelifnil]

Woahh, the fight frames are so cooll?!!! And all the transitions!! This is amazing

[@yraehn]

i love joels laugh at the end XD . makes him sound like a menace

[@logandoesthingss]

AA, I LOVE HOW ALL THE WINNERS ARE SMILLING OTHER THEN GRIAN BC HE DIDNT LIKE HOW HE WON😭

[@Emunah_]

Absolutely fantastic!! I really enjoyed hwo you portrayed the final fight. The flashes of previous winner and watcher tidbits was perfect!

[@joannen1738]

THIS IS SO EPIC!!!! The animation and the sound is so incredible

[@Thecorgiwrites]

Okokokok we know how some space attribute is given to life series winners (Grian/Sun, Scott/Star, Pearl/Moon, etc.) CONSIDER NEPTUNE JOEL

[@Indigo_dingo]

I was trying to come up with something for Joel as well and add the space symbols and stuff as well but I had no idea what to give Joel.. well, Neptune, you say? interesting!

[@Lexafied]

THIS IS EPIC!!! I love the action, animation, and the designs! Man after watching the finale of an absolutely awesome series, it’s like getting an extra after treat with all of these amazing animatics!!

[@OrangeJuice33]

OMG THIS IS COOL! I adore flashback and seeing all the other winners was a treat!

[@addamek09]

The animation from 0:26 kicked in hard

[@ThreeAndAHalfOfDiamonds]

THIS IS SO SMOOTH THE TRANSITIONS! DUDE. PERFECTION!!!!!!! 💚💛❤️

[@elizabethfoster7587]

This is really cool! I like the flashes through all the winners (including honorary winner Cleo) near the end from the newest winner (Joel) all the way to the first one (Grian)!

[@scrensaver_]

Yes I *did* get flashbacks to an old, specific minecraft fandom 💀 Great animatic

[@pecenekure202]

Same! I love their animatics

[@sylvaticaquercus]

MANNN this is so awesome! I lOVE the flashbacks with all the life series winners and the art is SO cool. Also, coming out with this so soon after the finale is insane, ty for this

[@EJdoesArtstuff]

[@Savannah_831]

[@adromea5628]

[@neptunesgalaxy5123]

This is amazing, I wanted Joel to win from the beginning and the influx of fanart/animations is exactly what I was hoping for

[@Tornado_theFox]

THIS IS SO GOOD

[@the_one_and_only_duck]

This is amazing oh my gosh I love all the detail at the end!!

[@EmuNatics]

The fight scene is insane!!!

[@emissary8071]

GOD THIS IS SO COOL! Haven't watched Joel's POV yet so this hits so hard. I love the expression, the movements are fluid, and OUGHH THE PAST WINNERS!!!!

[@Reed_Vine]

EATING THIS UP FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER

[@bookpage1313]

[@mageofcolors]

[@have_a_great_day53]

[@PastelLePanda]

[@pecenekure202]

I’m sorry, but this reminds me one of late august’s animatics! In a good fucking way! This is so cool! I love your style and everything! AHSWGJQHCJDHXHDE

[@Coolturtle13]

OH MY GOSH!!!!! THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!!

[@Veevanilla2134]

[@have_a_great_day53]

[@felixrowan3740]

Loved this!

[@cid_of_krebs]

Wow that was so epic!!!!!

[@theodysseyowl]

THIS IS SO GOOD I LOVE IT

[@SleepingAves]

What the flip that was so good??? Who gave you that right?? I’ll take it thank you

[@Indigo_dingo]

nah youre not taking anything, give it back, I need to draw angst and make people cry!!

[@robster_skip4987]

Oh fuck this goes hard!!!!!!!!!! Once again a 10/10

[@skalleywagg]

Soooo gooooood!!!!

[@lemmymario8153]

That was awesome!

[@imMittensKitten]

EEEEE YESS i absolutely love this animatic and the season is my new favourite (as new seasons often are, at least for a while) Also Joel learned from Scar to not kill himself at the end (talking lore here) because Scar stayed in that world for a year, right? At least Joel won't have the same fate, although he does have to go to the Watcher realm now

[@eileenkelleghan680]

So epic!

[@seeschwalbe]

Uhm...did you spend all your budget on the transitions? Because they are absolutely insane! This is so good!

[@Indigo_dingo]

nah, just my sanity :))) just kidding lmao I'm fine, but thank you!!!

[@seeschwalbe]

@Indigo_dingo appropriare cost for that level of art, gotta try that myself lol XD

[@zorod5475]

The shoulder plate would shift up next to his ear when he raised his arm in the final pose. I love the animation.

[@Indigo_dingo]

yeah, I struggled with the armour a little bit, in some clips it looks out of place but I really wanted to include it so that they wouldn't fight naked 😭

[@zorod5475]

@Indigo_dingo references help a ton. Next time, try taking a picture while holding a paper plate in the place of the shoulder plate and see what it does.

[@JamesHarris-xi4lv]

Joel this season was peak, change my mind

[@friend-of-axolotls123]

YAYYYY

[@TheCatQueenGG]

KAKSKSN WOOOOOO!!!

[@DawnOfWonder868]

Nooooo guys I just realized a parallel Grian winning 3rd Life: IM SO SORRY!!!!!! Joel winning Wild Life: I’m sorry Grian!

[@merle25168]

❤❤❤

[@snowkitty1914]

Joel cheated

[@Indigo_dingo]

really? how?
