Storyboarding

March 29th - April 12th

< Initial Character Designs

Week of April 19th

I chose not to use the colours to make the story seem darker and also because in mangas and most comics the initial release is in black and white

< Final Character Design

Week of April 26th

The Process of Making the Animations

For my animations I use a software called Krita first I draw the keyframes in the Big Paint workspace then use the keyframes and opacity keyframes to generate in the animation workspace.

Animation 1: Blink

May 4th - May 17th

There is dark vingette surrounding the character this will grow as the characters mental health gets worse and worse here it is in the middle of the storyline. The dark undereye also shows his mental health and exhaustion. The character is based on the original artist of the songs and also is mixed with a stereotypical 'E-Boy' appearance.

Animation 2: Showing the character development of the girl

The first character design is focused on the first song where she is a stereotypical E-girl character and is desperate for attention. The second character design is as she is starting to become more comfortable in herself but is still feels the need to be validated. the final character design is in the last song where she is comfortable in herself, has a boyfirnd and is fully independent. Similar to the E-boy character she has a vingette except in colour matching those associated with each song, hers grows in the same way his does as his mental health worsens but hers is colourful to show hers not being dark mental health but more confiendent in herself. The writing in the background is her neon backdrop with her name 'Chevy'

Animation 3: The Phone

The phone starts turned off then the notification causes it to light up. The background is her from one of her steams. It includes the notification with the name 'Chevy' - the name is that of the artist who sings the E-girls parts on the songs, she is often not credited so I felt it would be good to include her and honour her a little. The notification matches that exactly of a normal Twitch notification.
