The Magnus Archives, episode 200 animation WIP | finished scenes and animatic

[@jahzicoart]

jon literally losing his corporeal form like this is genius This is so good

[@victoriansquirrel]

Me: Oh what a wonderful day Way too talented tma fans: hey have you cried about mag 200 today?

[@vera-whatsurdiscord]

theres a comical tear runnig down my cheek as i read this

[@st.rbiter]

YOU ARE LITERALLY SO POWERFUL FOR ANIMATING THIS ENTIRE SCENE

[@Sarafu]

When Jon turns into scratches and static... **chef's kiss**

[@ardentswain2274]

Jon just gently putting the knife in martin's hand,,, oh my goodness, so tender and pleading and hopeful, and at peaches almost? I'm gonna cry

[@fangingout1306]

This hurt me so severely. I'm going to rewatch it 500 times

[@rorygiambalvo2955]

Jon forcefully guiding Martin's hand to his chest and then pulling him close. Like, bud. And then the imagery of him not sitting in a chair like Jonah before the Change, but floating in the center of it all makes all his movements so good. My man I really hope you finish this because I will weep

[@xXzombiesahoyXx]

I didn't want to be crying this early in the morning, but here we are! That was well done!

[@dull_demon4717]

Irony that i'm also watching this early in the morning

[@mossbreen2091]

i clicked on this saying "time to cause myself pain." i will edit this after, likely in pain it did. it caused so much pain all over again.t hank you. i am crying

[@GaubHefta]

goddamn this is breathtaking, I'm crying all over again ALSO YOUR PUPIL JON DESIGN IS SO FREAKING COOL!?!!! I LOVE THE STATIC AND GLITCHING SO MUCH!!!

[@blazeh6817]

1:57 PRETTY MONSTER JON RIGHTS

[@cylota]

this physically hurts me yet it’s so beautiful

[@ILuvBoysInDresses]

Ugh! Everything you do stuns me! The way you personalize movement pleases my brain so much. And gah- "That's the deal." killed me! Just gorgeous.

[@isamocha1719]

This is really impressive! I love the visualisation of this scene, really cool distortions to match the sound design. Great shot selection too. Thanks for sharing

[@alleymercuryway7777]

Excuse me I’m currently losing my mind over this like JAKAJSHSHSHH how is this so GOOD Jon’s design is so AMAZING it’s making my molars ache with the Sheer Energy of this

[@Muppet.Rabies]

I TOLD MYSELF I WOULDN'T CRY-

[@allisond1645]

incredible. breathtaking. showstopping. incredibly emotional. how dare you do this to me.

[@cr5604]

*how dare you make me relive this in such a beautiful breathtaking way*

[@blazeh6817]

1:04 AHHHHHHHHHH (my heart 🥺🥺❤️❤️ )

[@amefuraggamuffin]

You literally have the power to make a happy ending here 😭😭 like at the end have them alive and together floating in the void. That's all I need to make me happy. Like a single frame

[@zoethornton7665]

This is incredible already and I am sobbing, congratulations, I haven't had emotions since this show ended

[@shqrkiie936]

Its 10 30 and im crying

[@v1ntagecassette]

I don't know how I'm only just finding this now, but holy shit, this is spectacular. You take every single audio cue and make it into something tangible. Really, really good job with this!

[@missingkid1801]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING!!! I am a sobbing mess again but it's so worth it! Your art style literally blew my mind!! Your design of Jon how he shifts and transforms and is just generally inhuman and unstable I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH HOW AWESOME IT LOOKS

[@DragonSkul19]

The dynamic lines of Jon's pupil form are terrific 😍 Watching your animations and wips are a pleasure

[@blazeh6817]

2:00 ALSO DANG THIS IS SUCH A PRETTY PIC

[@emberdovahabor6394]

Damn this hits like a train. So remember after watching drink some water. All those tears leave you dehydrated...

[@lemmetalkaboutthis]

Excuse me this is glorious and I'll have to rewatch this because I don't think I caught all the details through my tears there

[@gabmosky]

It's one o clock in the morning and I'm sobbing, how could you- But nah, fr, this is awesome, even just the rough animatic, it's *chef's kiss*. Jon's form shifting and stuff??? Incredible! And you captured the emotions perfectly!

[@cjwisler4021]

Wow! Having Jon get all glitchy and smoky is so on point. Gorgeous work!!

[@deathuponusall]

Oh you're just gonna come in here and rip my heart and soul out? Ok. Alright. Im not crying, this is fine. Holy shit

[@TheBlackSquirrel]

I've been... binging TMA for the last month and a half and I finally finished episode 200 yesterday night and am now coping by gorging animatics. ...I did NOT expect to find a full fledged GORGEOUS animation of this heartbreakingly intense scene. Like... I feel like we shouldn't be allowed to have this cool stuff, or like I'm sneaking into a movie without paying...? I mean... WOW. You've visually captured this moment in such an incredible way and everything looks even more amazing than it did in my head. Thank you for putting such passion and heart into this and sharing it with the rest of us. 💖

[@avemflamma]

im actually going to eat the sun your pupil jon is *SCREAMS

[@caseytaylor4896]

well! I feel sick, absolutely astonishing job-

[@Jonesy..]

FUCK even unfinished this is so beautiful

[@avemflamma]

how does it feel being the most powerful being on this planet

[@miette4918]

How am I only seeing this now this is amazing

[@edgedancer77]

Hadn’t cried about 200 in a while, so thanks? Seriously, this is amazing… 😭😭😭

[@melshinta2966]

THE WIND MOTION IN THIS!!! AND JON "GLITCHING" IS FREAKING INCREDIBLE!!! I COULD WATCH THIS A MILLION TIMES IF IT WASN'T FOR THE PAIN OF 200 T-T

[@VelcroGirlOfficial]

Cool, crying over this again. Holy moly this is so good already

[@emilyaw3831]

I adore your design for John as the pupil

[@justjjamn4952]

I am not going to watch this video yet because I haven't finished the series. but this fucking thumbnail. THIS FUCKING THUMBNAIL. I am paralyzed with great fear for what is to come... .

[@agustinamagpie]

It is 1:41 am and I am *crying*.

[@shrmarfalgoob4975]

ITS TOO LATE FOR ME TO BE CRYING AHHHH

[@dreamishsara]

LITERALLY PERFECT THIS IS THE PERFECT REPRESENTATION I CANT EVEN AAAAA THIS IS AMAZING

[@houndgrins9806]

WAILING AND WEEPING

[@almudenada]

I- may have cried a bit.

[@blazeh6817]

Only at 0:30 and omg this is stunning

[@professionaldonutmaker9489]

I know this wip is an age old, but my god, yoh managed to capture their emotions so perfectly in this animatic. The touch on John's form whenever the static arrives is so well done!! I hope to see more scenes of this animated by you one day

[@beansbees]

Hi!! Thank you so much!!! I don’t know exactly if you meant wanting to see more of tma animated by me in general, or if you wanted to see more of this project completed, if you mean the latter tho! I finished the whole thing! A while ago actually, if you check my channel it’s there :) title is last words

[@BackAlleyTANGO]

Instant ugly crying. 😭

[@oldmanhiver3766]

DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! THE POWER!

[@Agata7794]

I can't do this anymore this show is going to make me go insane hhhhhhhh

[@kibsalicious]

this is so good but mY GOD IT HURTS

[@dumatki]

God im absolutely feral about this I LOVE what you did w jon and the static this is AMAZING so far I want to eat it

[@aubreycolburn9803]

I'm not even in animation, I've never animated, but even without any experience with those fully animated opening scenes I can tell there was so, so much time and effort. The expressions, the bodily movements, how did you transition the glitch effects so well?! I'm just so in love with your designs for Martin and Jon, they are completely cannon. The wind effects for Jon's and Martin's hair are just so incredible and your art style gives me the warm fuzzies despite this heart-wrenching scene. Your animating style is so dynamic and unique and I've fallen in love with it with just those opening scenes. I'll be on the lookout for more of your stuff!

[@solstrandebo4865]

HOLY SHIT DUDE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE IT LOOKS LIKE IF TMA WAS A PROFESSIONAL MOVIE I AM CRYING

[@sydneybentley5649]

HELLO MY JAW DROPPED TO THE FLOOR

[@mazapan7829]

YESSS IM P SURE I SAW THE ANIMATIC ON TUMBLR?? THIS FUCKS. YES!!!

[@awe_nyx6838]

wow, the finished parts look beautiful, but even the animatic looks amazing!! i’m glad this was able to find its way into my recommended

[@kmrose4741]

I AM CRYING,

[@saorsay]

OP I'M RATTLING THE BARS OF MY CAGE THIS IS INSANE

[@teagannam]

OOOOO I’m excited for this. even this wip went full kill bill on my heart :_)

[@Purplepipcat]

That is amazing. Cannot wait to see the finished article. Beautiful. It’s very dusty in here all of a sudden.

[@kieranpierre4841]

Bruh this looks so sick, I can’t wait for you to finish it

[@cheddarluke]

THIS MADE ME SO EMOTIONAL THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS

[@sarasuarez5529]

WHYHYHY OUCHIE SO BEAUTIFUL

[@TheRealAndian]

thanks i'm crying now

[@olly9685]

i KNEW this was gonna be painful before i clicked on it but i did it anyway

[@olly9685]

jon's glitching is amazing.. the fact that he becomes "more human" when martin is holding him... im- :,,,))

[@sarahmccausland7035]

I love this. I can't wait to see the finished result. I'm gonna send it to my parents so they know what I was crying about at 2am

[@em.poerung]

Oh nooo, all of this is so good! For some reasons the feels didn't hit me as hard while first listening to the finale, but with this?? Oh boi, they're there! And there are a lot of them! Tl,dr; this is really well done and you're incredibly talented

[@KJellyBeanut]

I was wondering when someone would animate this scene! I can't wait to see the final version - it looks fantastic already and I love your character designs, particularly Jon's Pupil of the Eye with the glitching etc. It's talented people like you that have recently inspired me to start drawing again/improve in animating (it has been maaaany years), so grateful to you and finding TMA (like 2 months ago).

[@ninjamouse2991]

HOLY CRAP DUDE I got chills

[@katherinalastname7077]

//screaming and wailing Ohhhhhh I can't wait! The animatic looks amazing already
