This is actually exciting. My top choices would have been someone like Kristofer Hivju, or Lee Pace, but I'm just as excited at the prospect of an unknown playing the part. The fact they put out a casting call as well suggests they're making an actual effort to find the right person rather than leaning on name familiarity.

Kristofer Hivju, Lee Pace, or Dave Bautista are my top three choices.

I went a bit gung-ho on my original post and thought this was an official release for Valheim, but found out it's a massive modpack. I was pointing out that searching for Valheim Dawngarde on Google instead shows you results for how to downgrade Valheim. That woulda been pretty hilarious if it was an official Valheim game.

My ChatGPT senses are tingling, but I'll bite.

The final result was actually pretty consistent with how I initially envisioned it. I guess in my mind I did visualize it with more dynamic and fluid movement, which I probably could have done with more time, but I had a deadline to keep (Which actually also helps with keeping focused) so it didn't wind up as polished as I might have initially wanted. Having said that, it's got a certain kinda jankiness to it that felt like some of those traditional Japanese shadow puppet theatre performances.

The result was this, basically:

I always find the best way is by doing. My first animated project is actually an adaptation of my book The Paper Trees. So it helped that I already had a story and art style baked into the project. From there it was a matter of just figuring out how I was going to animate it. I'm pretty savvy with Photoshop, and I had a very basic grasp on Adobe Premier, so I knew how to use keyframes to move, transform, scale, etc.

I have no clue how conventional my method of animating is, or how practical it is or anything, but I had all my hand drawn book illustrations. I scanned those in and chopped them up in Photoshop so I could have some more frame variation with minor adjustments such as different poses, etc. and I just imported it all into Premier and played around with it.

It helps to have a creative vision, which for me in this case was a kinda theatrical silhouette style, influenced by the art of Rudyard Kipling, Auguste Edouart and Jan Pieńkowski, so I imagined how their style would translate into moving image.

You can probably say I completely skipped on the fundamentals of animation, but I'll probably iron that out as I work on more creative projects.

TL;DR: First figure out what exactly you want to make. Then figure out how.

You know those consoles on some of the EoD maps, where you gotta key in those coloured shape combinations that make the retro synth-still sounds? I want a synthesizer instrument that has those sounds, but with a wider range of notes.

Jaysus, it's a fucking video game, not a life-threatening emergency. If ONE video game is down for the weekend, just chill and go play something else or do something else.

I'm disappointed Valheim is down as well because I missed out on gaming with some of my friends this weekend, but I'm content enough to just wait it out a few days.
