The Mind Electric - Gravity Falls / Book of Bill Animatic

Ouch
This was certainly my biggest animation project yet.
I have mixed feelings about how this turned out tbh, I lost motivation near the middle/end so it’s- not really my best work. My biggest regret with this is that I didn’t stylize it, I just sorta copied the way these guys are drawn in the show. However I’m proud of myself for actually finishing the whole thing. Of course it’s not the full song, but it’s still a big project.
I may be taking a break from videos for a little while, I’ve been putting off a lot of other personal art projects to get this done as quickly as possible.
So relieved to not have to worry about this anymore haha.
Anyway since the release of the book of bill I’ve thought tha the mind electric fit pretty well, and as soon as i heard this cover that kinda sounds like billy, there was no chance that i wouldn’t animate it
May or may not draw a proper thumbnail for this
Update: thumbnail time 😎

I liked that baby Bill was afraid of currant Bill. It reiterates in Bill's mind how irredeemable he is Great job 👍

It’s not that funny

[@Mangroves_falling]

@@Roach1105-d7 it's funny to me, I didn't mean to hurt your precious little feelings because my humor sucks.

[@kaylaHat]

The idea of baby Bill being terrified of current Bill works extremely wel but is also extremely tragic, perhaps some part of him is also terrified of himself (considering the "by a monster")

[@Ze_Budgie_LoversTHEY_R_SO_CUTE]
