A moodboard
OK so I recently just finished pokemon super mystery dungeon and I absolutely love it! I finally was able to play another installment of a pmd game,I usually don’t have access to those since I don’t have a 3ds nor have the money to buy one,but my brother let me borrow his whenever he goes to work so now I’m hooked!
So my hero is a snivy named jewel and her partner is a fennekin named fiona~
I tried my best to make them look like the pokemon but give them distinct enough designs to be recognizable
Sorry for the sketchyness I just wanted to pump art out as soon as possible~~
Ahhhh I’m supposed to be finishing my wips for svtfoe and now I’m also inspired to draw a lot psmd ;-;
REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S FIRST FILM SOLELY PRODUCED BY THEIR STUDIO HAD TWO FEMALE CHARACTERS AS THEIR ANTAGONIST AND PROTAGONIST WHO, BY SOME FORM OF DEVIL MAGIC, HAVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FACES

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S SECOND FILM NOT ONLY CONSISTED OF A CAST WITH FOUR CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTERS BUT INCLUDED AN ENTIRE TOWN OF DIVERSE CITIZENS OF VARYING RACE, GENDER, AND AGE. LIKE A NORMAL TOWN HAS.

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S THIRD FILM FEATURED SAME SEX COUPLES IN THEIR TEASER TRAILER

REMINDER THAT THIS IS ALL STOP-MOTION SO EVERY CHARACTER WAS DESIGNED, MODELED, SCULPTED, RIGGED, AND EVEN HAD TINY CLOTHES SEWED FOR THEM.

also reminder that they make chump change compared to disney who whines and cries that in all their years of experience they can’t handle the prospect of animating a girl with a face different than the rest and that it’s “too hard” because only females can express such a wide range of emotions that it makes them difficult to animate

if a studio with 20-30 years of experience can manage this then SURELY an established studio with NEAR 100 YEARS of experience can maybe, just maybe, include a female that ISN’T a part of their formula
LAIKA !
Also paranormal had a canonically gay guy in it just saying
Laika are goddamn ARTISTS and MASTERS OF THEIR CRAFT. Look at the animation on Kubo and tell me it doesn’t feel more like CGI than stop motion sometimes because it’s so smooth.
I love them so much.
My new favorite thing is the English dub voice actors shipping the heck out of NaruMitsu
tag yourself i’m “ugh g fkslhgnn hxfnkn poison”
