I was tagged by @randomfoggytiger thank you for the tag:)
Last song: listening to The Sky is Broken by Moby rn on my lunch break (all things feels)
Currently watching: I just finished s4 of What We Do in The Shadows ( awaiting s5!!) But I am currently rewatching Battlestar Galactica bc I just watch the same 5 shows over and over.
Current reading: just fan fiction at the moment
Current obsession: mango fruit jerky by Soley and That's it bars (they count as a serving of fruit right?) I am also highly engulfed in all things What We Do in The Shadows
I don't think I have the drive to commit to completing an entire webcomic.. and since my health is where it is, trying to develop the story is tedious and draining..
Though that isn't stopping me from thinking a whole lot about it.. thinking of ways I can make the story building process easier. Thinking of character designs and relationships..
And it's not stopping me from making memes about the story I've built thus far XD
I’m back on doll making so here’s a little sunny for the warmup :]c✨
His eyes weren’t originally planned to look like that but I umm messed that up so I added an eyelid to cover it now he has this smug face going on which I honestly like more than the plan hehehe
Like how all F!Leo is put at a low angle (looking upward) so he appears taller and powerful, while P!Leo is put at a high angle (looking down) so he looks smaller. Especially while he’s fumbling over his words and being embarrassed.
Then NOT ONLY does F!Leo gets down to his level, the “camera” angle is also higher (looking down) so Leo appears smaller, and P!Leo is suddenly put in a low angle (looking up) so it looks like P!Leo is the hero or more powerful person.
Then after the air is thinned out, they are level. Looking at eachother in the same space. Neither higher than the other (other than height differences which lord it is a big one).
Hehehehehehe
Oh my god, yes yesyes thank you. I'm glad to see how many people are picking up on the perspective thing.
But also, I want to add a little bit to this topic because there's also another environmental storytelling technique here. It's probably ..like...totally unnoticeable thing because my style is pretty messy, but anyway.
Those lines. The lines that visually separate the characters.
The first part of the dialog, Leo looking up at Leonardo. And the line (side of the building technically but eh) separating them.
Then, the perspective changes. Leonardo goes down on his knee and is below Leo. And at the same time, he crosses that line, finding himself in the same visual space as the child version of himself. He makes a connection.
Next part. Change of perspective again and...Leo is looking at Leonardo from below again yes, but now he begins to cross the line too.
Until they both do, while the perspective evens out without understating or overstating either of them.
