It Was an Accident - TMA Animatic

The Magnus Archives; Season 1 Episode 40: Human Remains

This is the first animatic I've made in, I wanna say, 4 years. TMA has sparked a particular creative flame in myself that I don't think I've seen in a very long time lol, I remember the first time I heard this particular scene and wanting to draw it out so badly. I'm happy I finally did!! :)
It took me about 4 days to finish.

Alsdfgjllakana oh my God! I love the little details in this, the way Jon fidgets with the pen, the shine of the eyes, how CLUTTERED the desk looks, it’s all so perfect and I love it.

[Spyruce]

I LOVE jon's fidgeting and hand movements here. You really captured his pent up/nervous energy. The expression as well, especially in the "archival assistant- ecetra, ecetra, go." or "yes I was there!" is awesome. You nailed the scene kudos to you

[misssampo]

JON'S ACE RING I LOVE Also the art is amazing 👏 😍

[dexterkronos]

God i wish Jon was a person who hugged earlier on because Martin sure as hell needed one right then and there 😢

I love the fluidity of your animatic, it really helps sell the expression's and feeling well. Now if you'll excuse me, the Eye wants me to watch more.
