rule 18 - lion | a dungeon meshi animatic

sometimes you have to finish working on something not because its finished or its good but because ur so tired of working on it lmao

[YarraYora]

i always imagine the winged lion mimicking humanity the same way ranchers figure out how to make sure their cattle won't be stressed and ruin the quality of their produce. and the first time he truly feels malice towards a human is because laios took away his appetite

[lhumyaki]

I love it when people realize that a song fits perfectly with a media and make an animatic

[Candy-]

"If you are a human then i am desire" i litterally went "WHOAKAY" out loud it fits so well!
Artstyle is so good, snd yhe colours too!!!

[abigailr]

my jaw literally dropped at 1:15 because of how well the lyric fits. i love the repetition of the “do you find i always come back with the same old lines” frame. this is absurdly well done!! all the frames are so fitting and so lovely to look at. i’m in love

[owlz_]

I like how the first two repetation of "Do you find -" was him smiling afterwards, showing how he can be incontrol of a situation and how conniving he is. And the third one was him being defeated, losing that cunning smile

[tresblo]

FISH IN A BIRDCAGE AND DUNGEON MESH!?
HOLY MOLY

[rynbliss]

wtf its like this song was made just for dunmeshi it fits so perfectly

[Katcchi]

My jaw DROPPED at ‘if you are human I am desire’ this is so perfect?? You did SUCH a good job with this, thank you for sharing!!!

[egorg.]

Lion:*lots of tempting words*
Laios: looks tasty, I wanna eat it

[someonesomewhere]

I love how the gap in the sky on the beginning looks like the winged lion’s eyes

[renae-parfait]

WOW!! This is phenomenal, I am blown away 💖💖 This song is a really inspired choice, it fits the Winged Lion's themes perfectly. My jaw dropped at "If you are the flower then I am the pavement, If you are the water then I want to taste it, If you are the lion then I am the hunger, If you are a human then I am desire" I love how you used that verse to demonstrate the Lion's relationships with each of the Dungeon Lords, and finally its confrontation with Laois. Your art is stunning as well, the colors are beautifully vibrant and the textured lines + shading adds a very nice touch. Loved the expressions too 💖Fantastic work :D

[CardamonCat]

This is absolutely amazing!! I love how when it shows the different dungeon lords the colors represent them and their reasons in some way. Thistle being in purple which is a royal color. Mithrun in green like envy. Marcielle in pink and red for love/passion. And Laios in yellow for creativity/optimism. Thistle made the deal for the sake of the kingdom, Mithrun out of jealousy and insecurity, Marcielles love for those around her and her fear of losing them, and Laios who keeps pushing through no mater what to get his sister and find his own belonging. Yellow also is considered a ‘Hungry’ color where seeing it leads you to being hungry. Overall beautifully done and wonderful song choice!

[Luna-ejmi]

Oh yeah, Mithrun's pre-damaged eye being covered is a really nice detail + foreshadowing. Along with Falin's

[MazeOfMyDesign]

In all honesty, i know nothing of these dunmeshi spoilers (anime-only watcher here) but this is one of my favourite songs from FIAB and the art is amazing :) props to you for making something somehow so blatant yet vague that even i (who doesnt know what's going on) can enjoy !!

[pantheradraws]

THIS IS SO GOOOD 😭😭! the way the lyrics portray the characters is just so I LOVE THE COLORS, THE WAY YOU DREW THE STAGES OF THE LION ITS ALL SO GOOOD my vocabulary isn't vast enough to describe how much i liked it

[giuliacf]

I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD USE THIS SONG IN SOMETHING DUNGEON MESHI RELATED ITS SO FITTING

[fxreigner]

HOOOOLY SHIT!!!! i love how well this illustrates the relationship between the dungeons and the masters

[rukicanparty]

I wanna show this to my partner SO BAD but they haven't read all the manga yet and it drives me insane because this is GORGEOUS and it's KILLING ME

[HelloThere-.-]

01:02 the water - taste and Mithrun - Demon pararells are cryminal


(i'm going to cry in the corner)

[MB-nope]

I don't know how long this took but it's super well done!! I particularly love the ending

"I'll never be as individual as you" is such a good line to wrap up Falin's arc of living for others and then starting to live for herself ❤️

Will definitely share this with my friends, amazing animatic 🫶
