The Adventure Zone Animatic - Episode 60: Lup's Interview

i love the fact this is lups first actual spoken line and it instantly made the fandom fall in love with her like she is such an amazing character with so much personality god i would die for her

i love justin's little delighted 'haah lup!' at the end. he loves his fictional sister so much.

I can see Griffin coming up with this scene, re-writing Lup's dialog over and over, just to make sure we'll fall in love with her instantly, to capture her personality in one bit... And this, right this, is how he'd seen it in his head. I'm sure.

everyone else is like "barry blushing asjaiosj" but TAAKO JUST *GLARING* AT BARRY IS ALSO GREAT ???

I LOVE IT. this whole scene kills me. you can just hear in justin's voice how much he is ready to absolutely roll with this character as his character's twin. he loves her. i love her. also your art is FANTASTIC thank u for this gift

Siblings really are on another level. Griffin knew Justin and Taako so well, he created Lup to be both immediately familiar to the audience, but also completely different from Taako. They are twins, but they are not copies of each other, and you get that sense very quickly. They influence each other, they have some similar mannerisms, they both have big bold personalities, but you would never say they were the same. I think their confrontation with the Judges in the Stolen Century arc really highlights this. The judges accuse Taako of pride and he throws it back at them, weaving and dodging, twisting their words to deflect blame and take no responsibility. They accuse Lup and Lup just owns it. She is authentic and real, she could lie if she wanted to but why would she? For Taako, being honest with himself and others is a fate worse than death. Authenticity breeds vulnerability, vulnerability is the enemy of survival, and Taako has to keep himself and his family alive. And I think Griffin saw this, saw that side of Taako afraid to be true and be bold, and he instinctively knew who Lup was. He knew how she and Taako fit together, he knew Taako loved her more than anything, and he knew how to get Justin on board. Because he is Justin's brother, and he knows those Taako parts of him, and knows what Taako would look up to and admire. Someone who could not only tell the truth, but see through Taako's disguises.

this is the moment where i think justin was FULLY sold on the twin sister thing because... Yes.

Griffin as a reporter. yes.

barry blushing gives me life

This is definitely my favorite Lup animation. you really portrayed the character well, even through her gestures. i will watch this probably 20 more times in a row

lup's hand motions and body language in this have ruined me for every other animation of this scene

i'm justin yelling "lup!" at the end

BARRY BLUSHING BEST GOOD YES GOOD ADDITION

10/10 would also die for her

If you get called out for owing someone money on live TV, you're screwed.

god i love her expressions so much. and the little things too like the way she and taako were sitting next to each other and giving each other looks, and barry blushing, and the way she ran back to the mic lmao, all were so great and interesting and thank you for making this perfection

All this time later, and I'm still head over heels in love with Lup

This is by far my favorite Lup animation. The expressions are great and the movement is great and may not be fully animated but manage to fluid and organic Great job and keep it up

I love how when griffin made lup he added so many similarity’s to Taako

i loved the face at "stink planet" so much tbh

Literally every second Lup was talking brought me life

i've watched every single animatic of this scene that's popped up in the last few days and let me tell you, this is my favorite!!

That smug look on Lup’s face after the mic drop and Davenport’s look of absolute realization and regret just gets me.

The moment that everyone collectively decided that they would indeed die for Lup

lup is perfect in every way and we know this, but the devastation on davenport's face is perfect

Davenport’s panicked expression when she drops the mic is everything tbh

Lup is so freaking rad. And BARRY'S LITTLE BLUSH IS SO CUTE.

lup is my wife and i would 300% also die for her, and the way you animated her was so good???? g o d its the little things and theyre all so good this is a blessing

Lup is my fucking spirit animal

I didn't think it was possible to miss someone I never met before so much. I needed Lup in my life.

GOD I love Lup with my whole ass heart

I love Lup, and I love this animation. Barry blushing is literally the best thing ever?

the facial expressions are perfect

Lup for president 2020

I love how you've portrayed each of the characters, ugh I just love Lup so much I could cry she is everything and became my favourite character instantly after this scene. 💜✨

This is so well done! I especially love the part from her running back up to the podium and grabbing the mic to the end of the video.

it's amazing how quickly griffin made me love lup

I love how you made it very obvious that Barry Bluejeans is crushing hard on Lup. You made her look super cute so I don't blame him

Lup's expressions are absolutely perfect. This is by far my favourite fan animation of Lup's interview

Griffin does an awesome Taako impression for Lup
