ikanaide (desert duo) || life series

hi...this was 400+ frames and i am not okay.
im not sure what to put here, other than i had way too much time now that summer break came and my younger siblings are still stuck in school. im actually quite happy with the few animated bits since ive never really animated anything before
lyrics taken from vocaloidllyrics
anyways, thank you for watching, kiss kiss you rats

[@levchenkodarya]

This duo is both one of the most wholesome and one of the most tragic ones at the same time...

[@roseswonderland8757]

I lovingly refer to them as a Trainwreck

Oh the part where Scar was falling into the zombie pit was so well done, this was lovely to watch!!

[@lilies6533]

Personal head canon: Grian started out with 2 lives in Last Life because he brought down Scar to his second in the very beginning of 3rd Life.

[@Tee_loves_Tea]

OHH GOOD ONE! This could be paired with one of my head-canons

[@Kuolinsyy]

This deserves so much more attention. I have been LONGING for someone to make an animatic of them to this damn song, and this is just absolutely prefect. All the little details and just showing how Grian avoids Scar- It's all so satisfying.
And the way the lyrics match so well. I am not okay with this.

yuhuh i love the lyrics! ( i do not speak that language)

this used to be one of the songs i would have reoccuring mental breakdowns to, i would listen to it when i needed to cry. seeing this brought me so much comfort and sadness, this might be my favorite desertduo animatic, i love it so much. you're amazing at animating, and im so glad you chose this song, love it

[@cadenceofyore]

Oh my gosh, this is so amazing, I'm just going to word vomit here because I can't express how much i dearly dearly love this. First off, I knew from the moment I saw ikanaide in the title (and mafumafus cover too :D!) this was going to absolutely destroy my emotions, and it DID. The absolute longing and melancholy in this, the switching back n forth of who says "Don't go", their looks of grief as they keep turning away from each other.... Absolutely immaculate. You're so amazing at nailing their expressions! Like the bit at 0:36-0:40, I love the timing of Grian kneeling down and then his expression combined with "I'm simply watching"!! the pang in my heart!! The way they just keep LOOKING at each other! The way Grian is desperately trying to keep Scar from falling into the zombie pit, and that final desperate lunge to try and grab him as his hand slips!! I adore all the details of this, and it's all animated so so so well. This makes me feel so sick with longing and melancholy, aka this the IDEAL ikanaide experience, 10/10 would get my emotions destroyed again

[@olived9560]

THIS IS AMAZINGGG!! I love the bit where grian's trying to hold onto scar and prevent him from falling into the zombie pit in DL, and I LOVE the winners in your style!! also that transition from grian pledging his life to scar RIGHT to the cactus ring with scar's dead body (also the way you drew that was so good, the tears falling on him....)
ALSO watching it now (Secret life spoilers) aa it's so nice that the crown CAN pass onto scar now too...

[@Morningblossom]

The lipsyncing to 'ikanaide' was so cool! Such a good animatic

[@kaurnival]

Vocaloid song + life SMP animatic?? I absolutely love that combo not to mention MAFUMAFU COVER!! I love tjis smmm

[@juliusroman8616]

YO THIS ANIMATION IS SICK! I can really see you tried your hardest.

Words *CANNOT* express how much I absolutely love this❤

[@inevertouchgrass.]

I love the song. It’s Do Not Go. I love the Ichika Version(Project Sekai) and then the fact that my life is Desert Duo. TYSM for making this

[@amapan87]

Don't think I didn't see the purple eyes when he was next to the ladder! Awsome animatic! ^v^

[@krackacka]

Ikanaide is such a good song for a life series animatic. And the animatic was really good too. The subtitles translating the song was also good because I had never looked into the actual meaning of the song.

[@kumoric]

I LOVE THIS SONG , I LOVE LIFE SERIES = perfection

[@konoisms_]

saw this as im scripting a map for ikanaide... ur kidding me this is WONDERFUL. sobbing on the floor actually

[@AshArts-YT]

This is so cute! Your art style is so unique in its own way! I love it so much!! I love the designs, too. Also I want to point out the height differences in the shot of Impulse and Bdubs.😂 The details are everything when it comes to stuff like this, and I love to see that put into other's minds. This is beautiful!

Just found out that “ikanaide” in Japanese means “Do not go/Don’t go” in English and now I’m a whole lot sadder :(
