I Really Enjoyed The DanDaDan Anime And Read About 100 Chapters Of The Manga! It's ALMOST An Ideal Shonen

I really enjoyed the DanDaDan anime and read about 100 chapters of the manga! It's ALMOST an ideal shonen anime for me (really fun main characters, yokai and aliens as the basis of action, and well-written tragic stories). But it does have some flaws that make it hard to recommend without warning (a lot of plot-contrived teenage nudity, a couple of attempted sexual assaults in the plot, old ladies that look too young, etc bad anime tropes..)

I wanted to try my own take on a few of the character designs, and draw the whole cast in a cartoony style! Some of them are anime spoilers, so I'll hide them under the cut.

I wish the player character wasn't so mean to TOBOR in MySims Agents. Like leave my boy alone he's not a parts dispenser! At least gimme options to apologize to him.

Look at this boy, does he really deserve being salvaged from?

Title card reading: [Storyboarding Basics. Brought to you by NU Animation Club, March 23 2023]. There is a chibi drawing of Feeb drawing on a CINTIQ

Types of shots: Distance from the camera Close shot: intimacy, emphasis on charater emotion. Example is a close up shot of Gandalf’s face from Fellowship of the Ring. Long shot: grandiose, emphasis on location. Example is a long shot of Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn arriving at Rohan, visible on a hill in the distance, from the Two Towers. Note: never start with a close shot. Start with as much location as possible to set the stage for your audience

Rule of thirds: Divide the screen into thirds horizontally and vertically. Try and keep focal points (like eyes) where the lines intersect! Incorrect example shows Araluna from Archmage Ascending with her eyes below the top third horizontal line. Correct example shows Araluna from Archmage Ascending with her eyes on the top third horizontal line.

Don’t cut characters off: make sure not to cut off a shot at the characters’ joints. Be especially careful of knees, elbows, hips. Incorrect example shows a shot of Power and Denji posing for the camera. The left side of the frame cuts off at Power’s wrist. The bottom of the frame cuts off at Denji’s ankles. Correct example shows a shot of Power and Denji posing for the camera. The left side of the frame cuts off at Power’s forearm. The bottom of the frame cuts off at Denji’s calves.

What is “shorthand”? Shorthand: a very simplified art style for storybordd that prioritized shape Do: include shape, size, expression Do not: include detail Example is an image of Ryuk from Death Note besides a shorthand drawing of him to scale. These are NOT illustrations / lineart, they are GUIDES!

Perspective & Gridlines: It is NECESSARY to include gridlines to make your perspective clear for the background artist. An incorrect example shows Araluna falling on a blank background. Three correct examples show the same image with gridlines in the background. One shows the gridline as a flat ground. The other shows the gridlone a slanted background in fish eye perspective. The last shows the gridline as a receding wall parallel to the character.

Perspective cheat code: No matter how close characters* are to the camera, the horizontal line will always cross them at the same part of their body. * must be the same height Incorrect example shows the horizon line cross Dokja Kim at his shoulders and Junghyeok Yoo, who is in the background, at his knees. Correct example shows the horizon line cross Dokja Kim and Junghyeok Yoo, who is in the background, at their shoulders.

Perspective tip! Try to avoid having the horizon line run through the middle of the screen. Raising or lowering the the horizon gives your shots a cinematic feel. Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing the center of the frame. Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing close to the top of the frame. Incorrect shot of Riza Hawkeye running in a forest has the horizon line crossing close to the bottom of the frame.

a couple snippets from a presentation i gave at school this past week on storyboarding!!

‼️DISCLAIMER: I am still a student and have only worked on student and indie projects! This is just stuff that I personally find helpful as an amateur, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt!

Happy boarding, friends! ✍️💕

So I’ve taken my friend’s advice and started drawing ref sheets for my OCs. I started with Tammy Anna, my magical girl OC!

This isn't all the recent game-released characters since Forces, but I wasn't thinking much about Dodon Pa.

Small redesign for Chang. I’m not super sure if it’s a good choice to make a Chinese character only ever wear a tangzhuang. Then again, I’m not Chinese, nor did I live in this time period. If someone could inform me further, please do

His new outfit is influenced by Pathologic, I will admit, but it manages to make him look professional and sleek. I’m not using the tangzhuang simply because I don’t know if I should.

Again, this is a cry for help: please educate me about his original outfit if you know anything or know anyone
