Starting out this module, I had two ideas as to where I could take this project.
My first idea was of a digital comic/ visual novel and the second was an animatic to a song, both of which would be based on my original characters.
After some consideration of these two ideas, I decided I wanted to pursue the animatic since it would challenge my skills more than the comic. I was already very familiar with drawing characters and such which would be needed for the comic, however, I didn't have much experience in animation and it is an area I'd like to improve in.
I run a small community of roleplayers on Discord, and so altogether we have many worlds and characters that I could use for the animation. I often take inspiration from songs for my characters, which is perfect for this project, so this led to me looking through the many playlists of songs I have for characters.
This is the first notes I made as I looked through my playlists:
(Spotify links are attached to each song.)
Mary by The Happy Fits for Venus and Harry De Luca
