What's Behind Etho's Mask? - Hermitcraft Animatic

This is a bit silly isn't it! Yeah. I just kind of- had to. The inspiration was there, and so I went with it! Has this been done before? No idea. But if not, it has now.
I've been watching way too much Naruto lately. And there's nothing quite like mashing one of my favourite things (Hermitcraft) with another of my favourite things (Naruto), via the convenient connection that is Etho Is Kakashi, and ending up with whatever this is.
Yeah I don't really know either, but it was fun to make!
Anyway, big thank you to ‪@EthosLab‬ ‪@docm77‬ ‪@bdoubleo‬ and ‪@VintageBeef‬ for entertaining me so much over the years, and leading me to making random stuff like this!
Even if it did lead to some of the most cursed Etho's I've ever drawn...

As someone who has never watched Naruto a day of their life, I find it absolutely delightful to now know that Kakashi gives off the exact same energy of ‘gremlin but chill’ as Etho

[@ox_why]

Oh absolutely.

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

I just started watching it cause of etho lol

[@CaptainActually1]

Maybe that's why Etho uses that skin.

[@saruwatarisa]

Also, in the jap sub... their voices has some similarities I notice

[@mtk77621]

Bdubbs as Naruto feels fitting

[@lolli_popples]

Of course Etho’s wearing multiple layers, its cold in Canada-

[@ruemistressofyeets]

Fun fact: on the odd occasion when someone has clipped inside Etho's skin on HC, there actually IS another mask under there (I've seen this at least once; don't remember which or whose episode though). Etho has only changed his skin once, when the Alex model was added, and the mask is part of the overlay layer. But the OG mask from the original skin is still under there. So, this is technically Truth in Television.

[@violetfirecat]

That is very true! That somehow hadn't crossed my mind when I was making this but you're right! I've seen it in videos too. The mask is on the overlay, and there's another on the actual head part of the skin. So, technically, Etho wearing a double mask is some degree of canon haha!

[@fafau06]

he's just really like/staying true to this kakashi character then isn't he? lul

[@arktya]

I just checked and you're right, for some reason I remembered him having a mouth under there

[@garbagedataraccoon]

​@@arktyaHe did, but he changed it when he changed his skin during the 1.8 development cycle.

[@arktya]

@@garbagedataraccoon oh, I knew that the skin was changed around that time but I had no idea that the mouth got removed

[@oftheundersea]

that is completely on brand for them all

[@Pink-Ninja]

Lol, it's definitely something Etho would say as well. Well done. 😂

[@kofitiamat]

double layering, he's extra prepared to go outside in these times

[@sarasnowfly]

LOL I love how both Kakashi and Etho always have the same energy. Love the way you animate them btw

[@river-of-noodles]

Don’t question the mask, admire the hair

[@tak3rry]

i remember watching this naruto episode as a kid, it was so funny but i was js as disappointed as the kids when it was just anohter mask

[@coalopalatticus6964]

[@quinnlim5104]

Since the dawn of masks of all types, there have been those who wear them all the time, and as such, there have been those wondering; "what's behind that mask?" Sometimes these queries have been answered, but there have also been many times where what the mask hides is still a mystery

[@lilajean8146]

Oh my gosh, Beef is Sakura!!!! LOL!🤣🤣🤣🤣 And Bdubs as Naruto and Doc as Sasuke is perfect. Also, finally, someone animated this!!! Just the perfect scene!!! I LOVE IT!!! LOL!!! And Etho's reading a Redstone book, that's great, lol!! I really like your character designs and Etho's hair man, haha, so great. Got to give notice to the coloring too, it's really striking. And really love how you animate motion too, really smooth. What application do you animate with? You're really good at it! The little Grian at the end is the best cherry on top! This is so perfect!! AMAZING!!! New sub!! Now....can you do an animation of a Guy/Kakashi moment only Guy is Bdubs and Kakashi is Etho? I would die!😆

[@violetfirecat]

Aaa thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D I had a lot of fun making it, and this scene is just so perfect, when the inspiration hit me I just went with it haha! As for what I animate with. I don't have any 'proper' animation software at the moment, so all the art is drawn in Krita! I do use it's animation feature to jump between frames easily whilst drawing, but I put everything together with the audio in Blender's video editor, rather than within Krita. Maybe a slightly awkward way of doing things, but oh well, it works for me! :P And haha, oh I would love to do an animation of a Guy and Kakashi moment with Bdubs and Etho, that could be so fun! xD I'll have to see if I can find a clip of them that would work well. Maybe something for me to do in the future!

[@lilajean8146]

@@violetfirecatwelcome!! Haha, yes, it's so perfect, I love it!! I'm so glad you animated it, can't wait to see more, no pressure of course!💗😆 Oh my gosh!!! No way!!! My dude, I thought I was alone! I wanted to do animation but my software doesn't support procreate or that stuff so, no joke, I've also been using Krita. I thought I was alone! I haven't used Blender yet, I should though. For audio I have just been putting clips into Cantasia, which can be really glitchy. But, oh my gosh, I have even more respect for you. Animating in Krita is definitely not conventional, but I agree, it gets the job done. Yes! I found one clip of Kakashi explaining visualizing techniques to Guy which give me real Etho/Bdubs energy. And there was that short interaction during the Chunin exams where Kakashi and Guy compare teams, love that! If you want me to try and find the audio for clips I can totally send some your way. Or maybe I'm being annoying, haha. Anyway, I loved it sooo much, keep making awesomeness! And I will binge everything you make!! I'm like super impressed!!! 😆🔥 Also- BEEF AS SAKURA!!!!

[@kittyshippercavegirl]

I never thought I'd see an Etho animatic to Naruto audio but it makes so much sense I mean he is just kakashi

[@ultimateo621]

It’s such a nice coincidence that Etho chose a skin of a masked character

[@atillerthehun8039]

Oh my god this is the CUTEST portrayal of Etho IVE EVER SEEEN (insta-subscribed)

[@wandering_fairytale]

It was recently confirmed on Impulse's stream!

[@BennettRDavis]

WE WERE SO CLOSE!!! But for real, great job. This is hysterical

[@mymo_in_Bb]

Xisuma has actually done something like this irl, lul

[@violetfirecat]

that's true he has! I'd forgotten about that haha. A mask under a mask is clearly the best way to hide your face :P

[@DizzyDoofus8]

a mouth is behind his mask

[@radix_is_rad]

Grian just going “idiots” at the end lol

[@silverxpanda5852]

I hope Etho sees this xD

[@the_sleepdeprivedboopinggr1806]

Is it just me that gets the impression that grian has accidentally seen etho without both of his masks?

[@forgottenOnion]

Nah not just you, Grian has 100% seen his face on accident or on purpose

[@TickleTurtle]

THIS IS AMAZING

[@EnduringVortex]

Not Grian at the end calling them idiots

[@aureaux]

Also!!! You should do the “You can’t kill everyone I love. They’re already dead.” Quote kakashi says for limited life OWO

[@violetfirecat]

Oh damn now that would be dramatic wouldn't it, that scene for limited life, angsty. But it would kinda fit! Don't know if I will do an animatic for it, but I'll keep it in mind, could be a fun one.
