Tale of the Bathtub Donkey - Drawfee Animated

From the Drawfee ep "Drawing the Origins of the Weirdest Laws in America" available here:

Hey gang!

I'm so stoked with how this one turned out. I always think the fluid doodle style (floodle-style as I'll call it now) is way more time-consuming, but I enjoy using it so much it ends up taking about the same time as the usual rigged style! I'll have to experiment more I think!

Here are my other Drawfee Animations:

LYRICS:

Well the sun's goin' down
And the missus' comin' home
And we've got the donkey in the tub alone

[MiracleMags]

I can’t believe how brave blue is for drawing three cowboy hats, a guitar, and a donkey

[UnreasonableOpinions]

I tried to test this story as part of a very ill-considered holiday, and let me tell you anyone who has the power to get a donkey into a bathtub when they do not want to be in a bathtub is someone the police have no hope of stopping.

[flaminyawn]

You have to love how the story behind that law involves a dam breaking, flooding the region, and the take-away that people got from it was, "Well, it wouldn't have been so bad if that donkey hadn't been in a bathtub... after 7pm."

[waitingonamonabel]

I can't believe DBI created the sky and filled it with stars just to avoid drawing Karina's apartment

[FanOfMostEverything]

Making sure the guitar _only_ makes Jacob noises is a fantastic touch.

[Fluff_Noodles]

0:54 1:15 1:31 the idea of the guitar actually making that noise is so hilarious I love it so much. I like how only Jacob can activate it because when Karina makes the noise it doesn't actually strum.

[ALALCinnarow]

I love how you’ve captured Karina and Jacob’s unhinged sibling energy somehow

[Minihood]

Jacob's mouth not moving because those sounds are actually coming from the guitar is perfect

[VerbalLearning]

Julia: Yeah but the donkey worked really hard too
Karina: Doing what?!
IT'S BEST!

[acecommanderjoker]

The existential exhaustion in Jakobs eyes and the smile on Karinas face tells me that he's not gonna be getting through this one in one piece XD

[DaveTpletsch]

Everything about this is perfection! from the beautiful mini animation of the jacob-donkey in the bathtub to Nathan's inscrutable expression of incomprehension as he listens to Jacob and Karina's folk tale being told by the campfire. Every aspect of this brought me joy and made the bit 10x better.

[ericaclare]

DBI you've really upped your game with this one. The firelight reflection and the donkey tale, it's really cool to see your journey of growth!

[shadowknight]

The little animation on the parchment was just so adorable, I loved it so much! Also the guitar just appearing out of thin air was wonderful

[evah]

Julia's supportive and 100% on board smile while Nathan is looking baffled really got me for some reason

[Crimser]

The cute little paper-drawn style! I love it! That donkey should be proud to be in such a nicely drawn tub.

[ReverendTed]

Jacob's mouth not moving for the guitar sounds makes so much sense but still _wigs me out_ anyway.

[RCZeta]

JULIA'S BIG IRON this is another flawless work of art but that detail took me out

[velvaetalt]

the dead expression on jacob’s face when the guitar starts playing is making me lose it

[PatheticApathetic]

You better believe I’m counting those strings inkboy lol
