Hi, welcome to Starimation channel!
I am the person who draws all the stuff here, you can call me Vlada,
Nice to finally meet you.
And as I promised, I made this Q&A video to answer most of your questions and to let you know me closer.
Before I start, I want to make a quick announcement.
My old subscribers which became my closest friends and I have created a discord server specially for you.
There you will be able to see some important announcements,
my future plans and maybe some screenshots of the progress ;>
Also, you can make new friends and chat with me.
So don't be shy and join our Penguin guard.
First thing I wanted to tell you
Thank you so much for 10 thousand, it really means a lot to me.
I can't even imagine that so many people are excited about my works.
I am really thankful for your motivation and support ^ ^
So, getting back to the questions.
The first one I get very frequently is
How old are you?
Well, I was born in 15.07.2000
So at the moment of recording this video I am 17
Are you self-taught?
Well, I graduated from my art school last year.
And it really helped me to improve my sense of color, shape, and composition,
But we didn't get to draw a human body,
So as for anatomy and animation, I'm self-taught.
How did you learn to animate?
I'm still learning. Sometimes I watch youtube tutorials and search for references
But if I can't find what I want, I end up experimenting to find out how this motion works on my own.
For example, do you remember these clothes and hair, flowing in the wind throughout the whole animation?
Actually, I spent a lot of time figuring out the way this motion works by doing the same waving movements with my hand.
And when I finally understood, I filled every scene with this motion
Because it is my favorite way to make static scenes more dynamic.
When and why did you start animating?
What inspired you to make Close to you animation?
It's funny because before the summer of 2016 I thought
That animating and drawing exactly the same figure repeatedly is such a torture,
So I couldn't really understand animator's passion.
But when I found out about Undertale and watched a lot of fan-animations I thought: "Why can't I do the same?"
And then I saw "Close to you" cover with Sans' voice by Kuma which really touched my heart
And I felt so much inspiration I've never felt in my whole life. I was ready to do everything to make this real
Regardless of my lack of skills and experience. And now you can see me here, answering your questions~
How are you so good at animating?
Aww, I'm not good at it yet.
I really have a lot of things to improve.
But thank you for thinking this way~ ^ ^
How many hours per day did you spend on your Close to you animation?
I have a huge problem with my free time,
So I used to take a few hours from my sleep time
For animating at least for 2 or 3 hours a day.
How did you feel when you were creating your animation?
Aww~ You care about me~ Thank you ^ ^
Well, I went through a lot of emotional states
From incredible excitement during the 1st year of creation
To disappointment and apathy in the middle and near the end.
I don't know if you have noticed
But there are some scenes I had to force myself to finish especially in the last part of my animation.
But your love and supportive comments
Under my animation progress videos
Kept me motivated to move forward
So I successfully went through all of it.
How was it like attempting to animate with no experience, did the lack of experience have to do with drawing?
Not really, the most challenging part for me
Was learning how to use the program.
Of course, I had some struggles in animating
But I had fun figuring out how it works.
In addition, I have noticed that
When you get into animating you see the world
From a completely different angle
And you pay more attention to physics and motions.
What was the most rewarding thing about your Close to you project?
First of all, I gained an important experience by learning some basic things about animating.
Also, I learned that it is very painstaking, but exciting process.
The most rewarding thing for me
Is that I could prove myself that I'm strong enough to reach big goals
And bring my ideas to real life.
And of course, your kind feedback and attention helped me to understand that all of this wasn't done for nothing.
What was your favorite part of Close to you animation?
The part I liked animating the most was the fighting scene.
It was the hardest but breathtaking part throughout the whole animation
Also, it took me a lot of time to search for references.
In this case, anime battle shots were very useful and inspiring for me.
What time of the day do you like to draw the most?
Oh~ I like to draw in early mornings and at late nights
Because these are the most calm and quiet times of the day when everyone is sleeping,
So for me, it's much easier to relax and concentrate on my work.
Are you going to show your face?
No, I'm not going to show myself in near future.
Why do you have such great arts?
I've been re-watching your UT animation in all its glory, it's amazing
Haha, I like this profile picture
As it fits this question very well,
Thank you so much!
What was your inspiration to become a youtuber?
There are 3 main reasons why I created my channel:
Firstly, I wanted to make my own cozy place where I can find people with similar tastes and interests.
Also, I want to express my emotions and thoughts through my works so that you can feel them yourself.
So I am very pleased to know my animation managed to affect you.
And lastly, I want to leave something behind so my life wouldn't be pointless.
What are you going to do next?
Alright, I'm ready to announce my next project so listen carefully.
I am going to make an animation with Doki doki literature club's song Your reality from Monika's point of view.
I don't want to spend another year on this project
So it will be shorter than my previous one, but not less deep.
Unfortunately, I can't say for sure how long it will take
As I am graduating from school this year
So I need to prepare and pass exams successfully.
Nevertheless, I will try my best
So follow me in social media to keep up with the news.
Did you ever think that your animation would get popular?
I was hoping for it, but never actually expected my animation to get popular.
As you can see now this came true
And I still can't believe I got so much attention and love from all of you.
What keeps you motivated to keep going?
Your love and supportive comments.
You can't even imagine how they inspire me and encourage to move forward.
I even have a special folder on my desktop
Where I keep the screenshots of the most touching and heartwarming comments
to read them whenever I feel down or frustrated.
What are things you like to improve on?
Also what is your hobby? (can't be related to drawing)
I have a strong passion for music.
I'm in love with the sound of musical instruments and some voices.
Unfortunately, I can't perform any piece myself
As I can't sing nor play any instrument,
But I would like to learn it someday.
Do you know da wae?
'Cause you're the queen of penguins!
I know the way
But i won't show it to you until you follow me in social media.
Do you watch anime?
And if you do, what's your favourite?
Mine is "My Hero Academia"
Yes, I watched a lot of anime
And my favorite ones are Erased, Steins gate, Clannad, Fullmetal alchemist, and Your name
What is your favorite song?
Well, you will hear one of them in 3, 2, 1..
