The Magnus Archives || Harpy Hare Animation

[If you’re concerned about spoilers: as long as you already know how Gertrude died, you should be fine-there really isn’t anything pivotal other than that in here
Characters from later on are shown but briefly, I didn’t even bother saying that I included S3 stuff in the intro because it was that insignificant-]
With that out of the way,
You’ll never guess what my new hyperfixation is hahahhhhh
A couple years late but I finally gave The Magnus Archives a go and wow, good stuff
Martin is my favorite character, hands down
He was my favorite when he was first mentioned by Jon, and he has just gotten better
(Jon: “I sent Martin to look into this ‘Angela’ character…. Apparently he spent three days looking into every woman named Angela in Bexley over the age of 50. He could not find anyone that matches the admittedly vague description given here, though he informs me that he had some very pleasant chats about jigsaws. Useless ass.” Not the first mention of him but probably my favorite early S1 [MAG14] instance of Jon being mean to Martin lol)
And the stuff he pulled off in MAG118? Incredible
Other than him and Jon, I picked which characters to include entirely arbitrarily, thus some of them just got squeezed in at the end TvT
I started this animatic / animation very impulsively about a week ago at like 2 am and now we’re here
Is this song still trending? I dunno and I don’t care, it’s stuck in my head regardless-
I really put ToonSquid through the wringer with this one with the sheer amount of symbols and layers, but it managed to hold up! Yet another win for my favorite animation program heheh
P.S.
I might have been neglecting artfight in favor of working on this video but shhhhhhh here’s the link to my profile anyway:
