This is my first time making an Arknights fan animatic, and I’m honestly even more excited than I imagined...

Lately, I’ve been slowly working on the storyboard and the visuals. Even though it’s still only in the progress stage, every time I manage to turn the scenes in my head into something real, I get that feeling of, “Ah, it’s really starting to take shape.”

While working on it, I do get nervous sometimes. I worry that I won’t express everything well enough, and I keep going back to revise a lot of parts. But at the same time, I’m genuinely so happy, because this is the first time I’ve seriously tried to make the kind of fan animatic I’ve always wanted to create.

Being able to piece together the characters I love, the emotions I want to convey, and all those vivid images in my mind little by little feels incredibly, incredibly fulfilling.

I’m still working hard on it, and I’m really looking forward to completing it in the future.
I hope that when I look back on this later, I’ll see it as a very precious beginning.
