does Vincent have nightmares about killing manon? does he even dream?

This isn't entirely canon but I like to imagine he has the same dreams that Rody does throughout the week but from his own perspective, except they dont really effect him that badly and feel more like regular dreams. However following ending 1,2, and 4 they'd feel more like nightmares

If you don't mind me askin' , how do you animate?

sketch out where they start [your keyframe]

sketch out where they go on another layer [your other keyframes]

clean up the keyframes

turn on onion skin mode

draw inbetweens [this unfortunately requires knowing how to animate. I suggest Alan Becker's 12 principals of animation videos and practicing. Being good at drawing doesn't equate to being good at animation and training that muscle outside of making still images is necessary]

Occasionally click "Autoplay" from the view drop down to check how things look and adjust as necessary

export as animated gif

look at finished animation

Yoo, love your work, but if you don't mind asking, which version of Robin have you been drawing? (Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, etc)

ive never read any of the comics and dont know the difference. in my head his irl name is robin and he was just really uncreative with his superhero name

what's the background to carnie and bloodbag?

Grey is a mad scientist currently working in the sewer/subway station/underground tunnels. Carnie is a creation he made from the body parts of people that died on fair thrill rides. She was Grey's first successful attempt at reanimating a dead body. She works for him as pest control "Bloodbag" is a young man that found the hideout and is now being used as a bloodbag and potential organ farm for Carnie. Grey would otherwise just recycle the body parts of anyone that posed a potential threat to people finding his base but figured Carnie could use the entertainment. Bloodbag and Carnie are being held there against their will but also they have nothing better going on

Ive been thinking bout it ever since I saw dead plate around it's release, but I was wondering. is there a specific reason you had Vincent play cello? they say it's closest to the human voice, it's an instrument that takes the position of a hug basically, it's intimate. was there any association with this?

also I was wondering what made Vincent want to cook, does he enjoy cooking? does it make him happy cooking for others ?

ps- I love your art, I like the character concepts you make I can't wait to see more

I was kinda iffy on what instrument would represent him since we wanted each character to have a motif that could be used for the soundtrack and I was considering some other options like piano or violin but ultimately chose the cello because I wanted to mirror Rody playing the guitar with something that's outwardly very similar in appearance but a bit more pretentious/ominous in sound. Rody's guitar is a weathered old thing he plays because hes passionate about it while Vince's cello is a fine quality instrument that's barely used. I was also interested in using it as a set piece in his apartment as this big dramatic thing to have on display that represents diligence and practice but that he hasnt actually touched or bothered to play in a long time. It sounding like a human voice or being intimate werent things Id really considered but that sounds rad
