Soldier, Poet, King | Original Animation Meme

AAH 25k!!!! I’ve been waiting all day to post this!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ;o; I can't believe so many people are interested in what I make and I can't wait to show you everything I've been working on!

I wanted to do something for 25k but I didn't have a ton of time between my tablet breaking, finals, and working on thesis, so I just cleaned up three walk cycles I had lying around and set them to music. You guys seem to like my animation memes so I thought doing an original one would be a nice thing!! And did some illustration and stuff. ye. the backgrounds are very very inspired by wandersong which is an excellent game that you should play.

Feel free to do your own!! And comment below if you decide to, I really want to see them ;o;

Characters: Puck, Robin, Nymph (Marnie makes a cameo in the background)
Animated in: TVPaint, After Effects

In case anyone was curious about the flowers: I picked them for their symbolic meanings (based on Wikipedia at least; I’m not a flower expert) feel free to look them up and draw your own conclusions!
Puck’s flowers: sweetbrier, coreopsis, delphinium, and daisy
Robin’s flowers: red lilies, blue roses, foxglove, and peonies
Nymph’s flowers: elderflower, Star of Bethlehem, gladiolus, and borage!

I want to tattoo this animation directly onto my heart

[rowanheart]

Whenever I hear this song, i imagine peasant children playing in a medevil villaige, one with a wooden toy sword, the other clutching a book, and the third wearing a paper crown

This is in response to Gothfrog’s comment about the flowers used in the animation! Below I have listed all of the symbolisms of the flowers used according to Wikipedia. If you want to look them up for yourself or if you don’t want to know what they mean, don’t read the following!!


_Puck’s Flowers:_
*Sweetbrier* = Simplicity
*Coreopsis* = Always cheerful
*Delphinium* = Levity, fun, big-hearted, ardent attachment, joy
*Daisy* = Innocence, loyal love, purity, faith, cheer, simplicity
(In Shakespeare’s Hamlet) = Dissembling

_Robin’s Flowers:_
*Red Lilies* = High-souled aspirations
*Blue Roses* = Mystery, attaining the impossible, love at first sight.
*Foxglove* = Insecurity
*Peonies* = Shame, bashfulness, anger
(In Japan) = Masculinity, bravery
(In China) = Prosperity, honor

_Nymph’s Flowers:_
*Elderflower* = Compassion
*Star of Bethlehem* = Atonement, reconciliation
*Gladiolus* = Strength of character, honor, conviction
*Borage* = Courage


That’s all! I hope you enjoyed this!

I just love how Puck is walking like "YEAH BOI, WE'RE GOING ON AN ADVENTURE"

[crunchysoda]

Characters:
- The hyper girl
- The shy but proud one
- the depressed teenager
This took me a while to understand...

[RezidentSadist]

Honestly animation memes have been getting more and more detailed and profound.

Just 100/10 for this one.

[TeaCaku]

[AtlaniBonita]

There will come a soldier

*_HE WILL TEAR YOUR CITY DOWN :D_*

[Kittencloudyu]

AW I LOVE THIS and I love how you were able to Incorporate all of you characters different presonalitys and characteristics in the way they walked ^^ keep up the amazing work! You really deserve more :3

[AsdfAsdf-miks]

There’s just something about watching this animation that makes me cry. I think it’s the juxtaposition between how cute and happy your OCs are and the lyrics of their foreboding future. I just—

I either want a book or a movie or a show on this concept.

[sundaysunday]

ah god this is stunning, the character designs are perfect and match the unique walk cycles each have. I know nothing about these characters yet the way you animate them gives off so much personality its amazing!

[gracetan]

This song makes me feel like I’m wearing a white billowing dress that’s simple yet elegant, with a white flower crown on my head, dancing bare foot around a camp fire with other children in a circle. Satyrs and nymphs from the woods gather around with ukuleles, clapping to the rhythm, singing and sitting on logs around the warm fire.

[micowash]

HOW ADORABLE IS OMGGG i wanna do this so bad honestly. its so cute and i love how unique and full of personality every single walk cycle is

[Arting-Sir]

Dear god this makes me wanna become a bard and start traveling with a lute and sword.

But yeah this isn't a meme, it's a well thought out story with a beautifully written song. And I love how the animation footsteps are in sync with the music. Great and fantastic job!!!

THIS REMINDS ME OF AN OPENING TO A SHOW THAT YOU KNOW YOU WILL CRY!

WHO DARE CALLS THIS A MEME! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!

Already 1 minute and 38 seconds you have me crying

[EmptyFeet]

This is so precious and wonderful!! And one of my favorite Oh Hellos songs too?? I love it~ ;v;
