Honestly, Danny is having such a good time right now. He gets to travel with Ellie, explore space, just have fun. Plus his secondary protector-instincts are having soothed despite him not technically doing any hero-ing anymore. Really his sister had the right idea when she decided she wanted to become a doctor, this is honestly a blast.
And if someone does end up passing away, well, Ellie is always happy to help soothe their spirit and guide them to the Realms where they can reach their respective afterlife. Or become a ghost.
They are completely oblivious to the fact that there are now legends and entire temples dedicated to them now. Apparently accidental ascension is in fact a thing, as Dan later laughs at them about.
there is truly just a Vibe about danandphilgames that doesn’t compare to any other content, idk what it is but there’s just something about the way they are on the gaming channel. and i thought maybe it’d be different after five years but it’s not at all and i couldn’t be happier. i’ve missed this so much.
- I definitely think Mira is a cat, but I drew her as some sort of mustlelid in this one. Otter maybe?
- Dan I see as a sheep/ram because of how competitive he is. He would have large coiled horns as they grow out by s4
- Marucho is a seal because they are little water guys!!!
- I also see volt as more of a bull, so maybe I’ll draw that another time. I was in the mood to draw deer so he is some kind of cervid? Caribou? Who knows
Animation for Treasure Planet done by Ken Duncan (Amelia), Sergio Pablos (Doppler), and T. Dan Hofstedt (Arrow).
From Ken Duncan's Instagram (better video quality btw):
"The 20th Anniversary of Treasure Planet.
Animation pencil test
-Captain Amelia
Another female character I’d animated who can go toe to toe with any of the other characters (smarter than them😉).
This was a fun scene to work on, with the choreography between all 3 characters.
Not exactly sure how we did this one, but I think I very quickly roughed out the first section of Amelia speaking to Doppler. Copies of my roughs were then given to Doppler’s animator Sergio Pablos who worked on his section while I roughed out her animation for the rest of the scene.
Arrow’s animator, T. Dan Hofstedt, started right away and allowed me to work out Amelia’s reactions to Arrow, based on T. Dan’s work.
With the rough pass of all characters approved we’d go back into the scene and tie-down the drawings, inbetween it, etc., making sure their eye direction was correct, and any physical contact, etc.
It’s a bit of a process, but it’s great to animate characters who react to the performances created by another animator/character."
