a dream is a wish || dungeon meshi animatic (marcille) [spoilers!]

the grind never stops #dungeonmeshi

[@snailsnip]

Marcille my beloved... this hurts even worse because the old fairytale aesthetic fits her so well. Grew up in a small village surrounded by books, always so in love with romance, princes and princesses.... I could actually see her having a musical number like this, possibly with the lion singing to her as a "fairy godmother".
Her situation's so tragic and it's so much worse when you take into account how it's outright stated- albeit in an easy to miss way- that lifespan differences were created by the ancients wishing to the demon for "their people" to live for 1000 years. Fucked up and evil how everyone treats her like her wish itself is unreasonable when it's exactly what already happened but without the giant rift between long and short lifespans and her caught in the middle.

WAH this is so nice thank you,,, marcille is so important to me this is such a nice and concise way to describe her struggle in the story :’) i love her sm… she just wants her fairytale ending in a way!!

[@clementine_soda]

I love the effects of the layered panels!! I've never seen anything quite like it. It recontextualizes each scene with each panel. It's so cool! Great animatic!

[@Ehlihr]

thank you!! (its honestly a nice easy way to keep things visually interesting lol)

[@wormrights6921]

augh this is so haunting…love the part with falin’s eyes opening, god the dungeon is actually SO creepy and fucked up 💔

[@Ehlihr]

the dungeon conceptually freaked me out so much by the end. augh !!! inevitable hell!!

[@Chrysatis]

you're so creative like using the layers to portray marcille's fear like what

[@Ehlihr]

thank you so much :-)

[@RulerX.]

Amazing, this truly shows the struggle marcilles goes through in the story.

[@oilch1621]

GOD THIS IS SOOO INCREDIBLE IM LOSING MY MIND!!!!!!! the way you use blocking and color to weave together this narrative is amazing; love the way the party is captured in marcille's final silhouette, encapsulating her dream of keeping them with her forever

[@Ehlihr]
