I would like to use this album of re-recommendations to express love (and encourage hearting and arting) of two cool projects.  You'll find both the original idea RECords and some cool associated submissions from this awesome community:


The Shadow People by AttileeRECord and Soupy - This collab has really taken off, and I can't stop hearting all of the lovely contributions.  I love the idea of Shadows having lives away from their humans and longing for home! I really love how many stories and super images are being submitted (yes, I do plan on posting something too ;0) and I look forward to seeing more filmy/animatey realizations like Gimik Jo's or Marie's. 


Ellory and the Cave of Wishes by scarletoak - This is a project that began as an idea and gorgeous set of images from scarletoak.  I've tried my hand fleshing out her story as a poem, and she's crafted an awesome plan to bring the images and text some more visual texture - an animated pop-up! I love childrens books, love the magic of wishes and the ability a story or poem has to reconnect us with our inner kids.  I can't wait to see how the community brings this to life even more!

For Attilee's collab!


A shadow is an entity
Quite separate from you and me
By day it clings to your two feet
But nightly shadow people meet

Hey, so this piece was primarily influenced by Attilee's Shadow Beings concept. I didn't go with the usual way of presenting such a shadow, but it is a play on shadows nonetheless. A new concept I was thinking of is what if someone could permeate the world of shadows? It seems as if these shadow beings act on their own accord, although to have a shadow, it must be attached to an owner, right? So what if its 'owner' was able to disengage themselves from the physical world and step into the shadow beings' world? This is what I was trying to convey in this photo. Also, what would happen if a human got into Umbra? Would they be kicked out immediately, would the shadow beings like the person, would the person even be able to get back to the physical world? Just some things to think about.

Charactersheet

Initial concepts for the types of shadows Attilee mentions in her vid. I guess this is what we're sticking with? As @@ said in the her vid, it's all been mostly just ideas so far. The info written out in the sheet may not correspond with what's been written elsewhere... I've been sort of absent from HR (sorry @@ D: ) mostly due to school and life and wank wank and all that, so I don't think we ever got the opportunity to work out the details. Then again, we also don't want to go restricting your creativity too much. Open to ideas and all that! Also, ignore the inconsistent caps—each of these were made during seperate times for the most part.\

Ellory
Made this on a whim as a story came to my mind - I'm a pretty awful writer, so I thought making an image may be easier.

The story is about a girl named Ellory who happens upon a cave where all shooting stars land. Wishes can't come true unless someone hear them, so Ellory sits in the cave and listens to each wish, making them all come true.

This could of course be more focused and a lot more elaborate :)

*Here's my recent REfinement of "Ellory and The Cave of Wishes".  Hopefully it flows smoothly, but of course I appreciate more suggestions and welcome REmixes <3

Elloryssilverforest

Slowly (but surely!) trying to paint some things that may go with RECorderBelle's poem. This is meant to be the forest through which the child runs. 

Should I paint Ellory herself within it? I didn't know whether to have her running, placed closer to the cave, or in a standing position where we would see about her shoulders on up between the nearest trees. 


Trial & error.

Elloryboard

Hey all! So RECorderBelle has done a wonderful job of taking an original idea I had and building it into this marvelous story. Today I kind of storyboarded (I know that's not a real word..) of how I saw it in my head.


The general idea is to have the story animated out on an open book. Thought about having the text just at the bottom, but possibly someone could do a VO and could just do that?


Wanted to post the very beginnings for feedback if you have any! Love any and all creative input <33


**Also, advice on software to use in animated stuff like this?

I finally got some free time and I just wanted, needed  so much to contribute video to the  Attilee' collaboration. The Gloamy Part of Town - great  illustration by MelonBerri.  The video, I guess, is  like an adaptation of Metaphorest's wonderful poem. And with mysterious V.O. by pamagotchi, and tonguecutsparrow's music.


:) I love that feeling, when REmixing smth, that it's like we're making it all together.


P.S. so easy now to search resources entering last numbers instead of titles.
