Crossover

Always've liked that word. Hahaha!

Crossover stories, meaning putting characters from different fictional world together in a story. Most of them are more like fan arts. I love crossover arts and stories! When you putting different characters from totally different worlds together, it really provokes your imagination! Makes you think about how will the characters react, and even how will their relationship develops! It's taking something that have already existed, and make them into something even more interesting!

Even though there's some crossover things already exist like games and special episodes of tv series or animation, it doesn't always work since most fictional worlds have their own kinda rules that only works for them, but it's always a fun to watch or read~~

A world without sound

Well, not literary without sound. Just a world that no one actually talks.

I like to watch animation shorts that are without dialogues. This kind of animation shorts shows a lot of acting and the animators skills. And then it kinda struck me; A normal guy suddenly got a world that no one speaks.

So no one will speak in this world, then how would any of them communicate with each other? How will the protagonist approach the others to understand this world then. Obviously he can't talk with them because they won't talk back. Can this work? Or just a stupid idea? I have no idea since it's literary a random idea that pop up in my mind. Hahaha!

2D animations

I love animations, that's why I'm studying it right now. Animation is more than just moving pictures, animation brings characters to life, brings beauty onto screen. 2D animation especially amazes me!

2D animation can achieve so much that 3D animation can't. Although I could also say the same the other way around, I still think being able to create a great 2D animation requires more efforts than 3D. It's simply amazing that a world has create through just putting a set of drawn pictures together. Even though they're literary just drawings on papers, yet you really can really feel the emotions, more real than anything. Simply fascinating!

I hope I could make at least 1 masterpiece of 2D animation one day.

Evil evil protagonist

 Despicable Me, Megamind...... These are movies that have a evil protagonist instead of a classic good guy. Though both of them did eventually turn good in the end.




Personally I loved both these movies, they have great stories, great character arc, and some hilarious moments in them. And they both have happy endings.

On the other hand, I'm really curious if there's a protagonist that's total evil throughout the whole movie, how would the story turn out? Obviously there wouldn't be a huge character arc if he's evil all the way, then could a good story arc save a movie like this then? I'm just really interested in what kind of outcome would that be, although I have a feeling that most likely will just be a total comedy movie in the end.

Funny Videos and Animation

Spent some meaningless time on youtube and watching these funny videos. While watching them, I imagined, what if these funny moments are used in animation and being expanded. That would make such great material and at the very least, it's going to be funny! Some of the funny videos even reminded me of some classic cartoon moments. Who knows? Maybe there is some animations that's made using funny videos on the internet as reference! Hahahaha!

Ghost

Ghost, spirits. Most movies and tv shows portrait them as evil and horrifying. Some even says that they have supernatural power that could affect the real world and people.

 I was never too big of a fan of horror and scary films because they often scare the hell out of me. But I still like story materials that consist of supernatural things because they show human's imagination in them.

No one knows for sure what ghosts are, or even do they really exist, it's human's imagination thinks that they are scary because humans are afraid of things they don't understand. Even if we assume they  do exist, maybe they aren't all evil. This is something I often think to myself. A story that's a good ghost story. Like Casper the friendly ghost, except this time all of the ghosts are actually friendly and nice. It's only the humans misunderstanding them and thought they are evil. Who knows? Maybe someday there might really be a movie like this!

Characters... A lot of characters.....

I've loved fighting games for all my life. Characters with different genre, superpower, fighting style, battling each other.









I feel like the only downside of these games is that they don't really have a consistent storyline, like how most of these kind of games have endings of the winning the championship for every characters.








Despite that, I still love the idea of mixing together all kinds of character those are so different, and write a story about them. Doesn't it make you wanna create a whole bunch of your own characters just by watching these games?


This picture above is a set of drawings that I did base on my high school classmates. I did them as a parting gift after our high school graduation. I tried my best to make each and every character different from each other, although some might have overlap genre a little. Now when I look back at them, I wonder if all of these character were to put together into a story, how will it be? Who will be the main character? Will they be split into different gangs or clans and fight each other? These questions in my head are exactly the reason why I love all these many characters story thingy!
