[S] Homestuck opening

I did this for our title sequence assignment at school. Since I didn't have much time I wanted to make it look good without having to actually animate anything, and I think it came out fairly well.
Everything was drawn in Photoshop and composed in After Effects. The song is Descend by Toby Fox (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/descend) cut for me by my partner in crime. Hope you enjoy!

...and the idea? :3

@BellaHeroneyes I can't exactly patent the idea. As for the audio, you'd get better quality buying the original from bandcamp and editing your own cut of the song, plus it would give you greater control over what happens where - we used Audacity for it.

@naite oh no i dont want to have the characters :D i just want to use the idea of how u introduce the characters. is that ok?....and the audio? :3

[naite]

@BellaHeroneyes Well that is the idea I was talking about. Homestuck isn't my idea but this video and how it's executed both are. I see no logic in making a stylistic copy with the same music and the same style, but if you do end up doing it anyway I'd appreciate if you made it feel more original than that.

This is pretty awesome! XD And this was for a school project?? :O I'd be too embarrassed to use something not most people know about ^^;

And you drew all this? Just adds to the epicness ^w^

Just one thing: Why is Davesprite used instead of Dave in his God Tier clothes? :x

[naite]

@AngelicxRose Thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed. :)

Basically I used Davesprite for the same reason I used Jack Noir; spoilers. Cascade had come out v. recently. If I think about intros I think at least the "first season" opening shouldn't be too revealing, and Homestuck is long enough to be considered having more than one season. In this sense it could be better, I mean maybe I could have chosen the trolls based on who was shown first and left Doc Scratch out and whatnot, but it works for now.
