    *************
    (This is the finished product).
    OH MY GOSH this took forever! We started this animatic back in DECEMBER!!! Of course it got put off due to class and a bunch of other stuff. It was sitting on our computer mostly done for a while now, so we decided to finish it off to give us more time to work on the upcoming 5th Monte Cristo animatic (and like I mentioned on the previous video, we do not know when it will be finished, so don't ask).
    This animatic isn't up to the standards that we had wanted, but we'd spent enough time on it already and just wanted it done. So it doesn't have shading or detailed backgrounds, but it still looks good (right??). Hope you enjoy :)
    **********
    FAQs:
    -Why isn't it coloured in?
    Because we were testing out the style and because we both like the black and white look, like in old movies.
    -Is it going to be finished/animated?
    No, we only make animatics because that is what we are interested in, not animations.
    -What's the story behind this?? The Princess's are crystal and Sombra's after Twilight???
    It's just a random villain revenge plot created to work with the song.
    -What programs did you use to create this?
    Photoshop CS6 to draw everything, and After Effects CS6 to edit.
    -What's the song from?
    "In the Dark of the Night" is from Anastasia, copyrighted to 20th Century Fox.
    -What's the end credit song?
    "Once Upon a December" from Anastasia, copyrighted to 20th Century Fox.

      It's much better than the higher pitched one they gave him in the show that doesn't match his earlier appearances. Early on he sounded super growly and dark. Now suddenly in season 9, his laugh sounds like a high-pitched horse whinny and the higher tone just doesn't fit him at ALL. He sounds like he's whining all the time.

    This has been mentioned a million times by now but I just find it fascinating that the fandom created this intimidating, yet strangely compelling personality for Sombra.
    Yet when Hasbro decided to reuse the guy he's a one off throw away villain with the temperament of a petulant child.

    This works really well, and I must say, the style and direction give Sombra more of a personality than what little was seen of him in the show. After all, he was more or less just this trope:

    And this is why I wish we had more of a chrysalis type story with him. Though Chrysalis is a strong villain I found that she wasn’t to strong without her swarm. She also had multiple episodes so I would wish we got at least maybe one or two more episodes of him before the crystal empires first appearance like a thing where they solve problems without realizing he caused them or something those might show his power or like an episode where he is hinted at even like a mural of power. Or we could have gotten a flashback from that potion that Twilight drank during season 4 that showed his true power. Sombra was intensely underused especially now that we can see how strong he actually is in the final season. This would’ve made an epic final battle and it really suits Sombra. Honestly I love Sombra as a villain

    Full Mlp version of the song:
    In the dark of the night i was tossing and turning.
    And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be.
    It scared me out of my wits, a corpse falling to bits!
    ... then I opened my eyes the nightmare was me!
    I was once the most mystical colt in Equestria. When the royals betrayed me they made a mistake! My curse made each of them break, but one little mare got away...
    Twilight beware, King Sombras awake! (In the dark of the night ponies will find her! In the dark of the night just before dawn!)
    Revenge will be sweet, (when the curse is complete!) (In the dark of the night...) Shell be gone!
    I can feel that my powers are slowly returning. Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell! As the pieces fall into place, I'll see her crawl into place. Do svidanya, Twi, your grace, farewell!
    (In the dark of the night, terror will find her) Terrors the least I can do! (In the dark of the night, evil will brew, soon she will feel) that her nightmares are real (in the dark of the night) shell be through!
    (in the dark of the night evil will find her(find her))
    (in the dark of the night, terror comes true(doom her))
    My dear! Heres a sign, its the end of the line!
    (in the dark of the night, in the dark of the night..)
    Come my minions rise for your master, let your evil shine! Find her now yes fly even faster...
    (in the dark of the night, in the dark of the night, in the dark of the night...)
    She'll be mine!!!!!

    The lyrics from the song for the one who want to sing along with this epic music!
    In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning
    And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be
    It scared me out of my wits
    A corpse falling to bits!
    Then I opened my eyes
    And the nightmare was me
    I was once the most mystical man in all Russia.
    When the royals betrayed me they made a mistake
    My curse made each of them pay
    But one little girl got away
    Little Anya, beware,
    The emperor's awake
    In the dark of the night evil will find her
    In the dark of the night just before dawn
    Aah
    Revenge will be sweet
    When the curse is complete
    In the dark of the night
    She'll be gone
    I can feel that my powers are slowly returning
    Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell
    As the Pieces fall into place
    I'll see her crawl into place
    Do Svidaniya, Anya, Your Grace
    Farewell
    In the dark of the night terror will strike her
    Terror's the least I can do
    In the dark of the night evil will brew
    Ooh
    Soon she will feel that her nightmares are real
    In the dark of the night
    She'll be through
    In the dark of the night
    Evil will find her
    Find her
    Ooh
    In the dark of the night terror comes true
    Doom her
    My dear, here's a sign
    It's the end of the line
    In the dark of the night
    In the dark of the night
    Come my minions,
    Rise for your master,
    Let your evil shine
    Find her now,
    Yes, fly ever faster
    In the dark of the night
    In the dark of the night
    In the dark of the night
    She'll be mine!

    Love this animatic! I've never heard this song before but I could swear I recognized that voice from Skyrim, turns out he voiced some npcs in Skyrim, cool piece of trivia there

      Well, the protagonists are. G1 Tirek was effectively Satan, and Sombra drew a lot from G1's Grogar.

    Doesn't anyone else see how Sombra looks alot like Ganondorf in some scenes. He's like the Demon king but he has the potential to be worse than what he was with his list of abilities. If the show used his full potential and it wasn't a Pg rating, imagine how dark the show could've been. (Ganon vs Sombra who would win?)

      As powerful as sombra is, Ganondorf has the triforce of power. It's been show that it prevents him from dying from anyone other than a bear of courage or wisdom.
