April Fool's Animoo ๐ฎ
🕑 Added 2025-04-02 17:23:44 +0000 UTCHey guys! Hope everyone having a great week and great start of the the month! As some (most) of you may have guessed... it was indeed a prank ๐
The idea was inspired by something that I believe Ixkou (on twitter) did a few years back? Basically a fake anime/cartoon screenshot. Now I had actually planned to do more pieces initially for this to make it seem more legitimate, unfortunately the date... kinda snuck up on me and it slipped my mind. ๐ Therefore, all of this was done last minute the day before lol. I've included the sketches and line work for the other two "screenshots" I was gonna make as well.
Basically the idea was that it was gonna be some sort of isekai (since those seem to be popular right now). The main character generic character ends up having a run in with what appears to be a monstrous Minotaur character. As he soon finds out though, the guy's not all that bad ๐ (shenanigans and adventures ensue) Very rough idea with lots of interpretation, but it gave me enough to work with to come up with some possible scenes to work on.
The last bit to give it that extra bit make "oomph" was to reduce the size of the final piece, making it more grainy and pixelated, then increasing the contrast. Make it look more like an actual screenshot lol.
But yeah, although it wasn't exactly what I wanted to have in terms of finished pieces for the prank, it was at least some good line work practice ๐
Hope you guys enjoyed it though, and thanks to those of you who played along! ๐
Enjoy! ๐

Awesome. Very...detailed light and shadow work on the first picture. I wonder how your animation staff will take that. Maybe go with the flatter color for most of the scenes and then get the deep shadows and highlights for the high emotion moments? I devour anime, including lots of isekai. The one that got me into watching anime at the end of 1999 was Ushio and Tora, and Tora is a big grumpy tsundere...with muscles. Currently way into Shangri-la Frontier, which is exceeding expectations for a VRMMO anime. I would say my favorite isekai was That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.ย And the ...strangest... might be Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon.

Yesterday, he posted this on X and BlueSky, asking people what anime this screenshot is from. Since Taran never draws anime style he was hoping some people fell for it an tried looking for the anime, not knowing taran drew it.
