Finally, my magnum opus is complete! After nearly a year in the works, I've finished this absolute monster of an animatic. The idea was born in mid-September of 2022, and although life got in the way multiple times, leading to several month-long breaks, the passion for the project lived on, and my hard work has paid off at last!
I truly adored every moment of Ren's king arc in Hermitcraft Season 9, and felt that Ren deserved an animatic just as bold and dramatic as he is. I hope you all enjoy this (probably) final taste of Hermitcraft content from this channel.
Unfortunately, I just don't have the time to be working on any more Hermitcraft content, especially since I haven't been able to keep up with the hermits. It's possible I may end up doing some smaller things in the future (or perhaps releasing unfinished Hermitcraft videos?), but I'm sorry to say that this channel will no longer be Hermit-centric.
I hate to disappoint you all, especially since you all have been nothing but sweet and supportive since I started uploading animatics. If you wish to unsubscribe, you're free to do so! I'm glad you stayed with me this long. I'm truly overwhelmed with the positive responses I've received on this channel. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
DISCLAIMER: The song is NOT mine!! It's by @CG5, and ALL credit goes to him for the music. I've listened to this song over 250 times over the course of this project (and I'm still not sick of it XD). I hope he doesn't mind me using his song! And of course I'm perfectly fine with not earning a penny from this video. :)

An incredible ode to a glorious reign! I am humbled and honoured by this. NOW LEAVE ME I MUST PONDER'TH! ;) King RentheKing
It was the least I could do to thank you for such glorious content, my King! I shall withdraw. - Your humble servant, Miriam
I agree thanks for the great reign I loved the quests Long live RentheKing
: 000
Lol, long live king Ren
LONG LIVE RENTHEKING!!!
This is great!
Thank you so much!!!
Jevin! :D
It really is!
Ello Jevin!!
Phenomenal! You are such a talent!
Thank you so much, Xisuma! 🤗
Fr fr
Yes
So true! Keep it up
well done! you are a true talent
Thank you so much, Bdubs!!
The Puppet Master Himself approves
Bdubs!!! I’m so glad you like this animatic!! I love it so much it’s incredible
Ayy bdubs! I agree this animatic is amazing
YOU'LL SPEAK WHEN SPOKEN TOO!
I am screaming it’s so good!!! The parallels between third life and hermit craft with Bdubs and Martin and the scene with Scar!!! And I love how you slowly had Ren’s hair change from the brown to the gray!!! This is so wonderfully done!!!
Thank you so so much!!! I'm absolutely delighted that all came across!! 😖😅😭
I LOVE THIS!!!! I especially loved when it shows that Bdubs was controlling Ren, and convinced him that “you need all the power and the fame”. And also, i love how there’s references to 3rd life. The switch from Ren in HC to Ren in third life was brilliant (honorable mention: scar as well). Idk man, who wouldn’t love Ren’s king arc?
Thank you so much!! Yes, the frame where Bdubs is controlling the puppet strings is one of my favourites!! And of course I needed to add in those 3rd Life references!! I'm so glad you enjoyed 🤗
If I had a nickel for everytime a popular online Minecraft SMP used “Lonely King” to describe the events of dictatorship, I’d have two nickels… which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice
AHAHHAHAHAH BEST COMMENT I'VE HAD IN A WHILE
If I had a diamond for every time Ren declared himself king of a server and a little green dude was his right-hand-man and there was a Crastle involved and Grian was partially responsible for instigating a rebellion, I'd have two. Which isn't a lot, but I'm starting to think he has a royalty complex.
AHAHHAHAHHAHA YOU WIN AT COMMENTS
I find the connections with BDubs and Martyn pulling Ren’s strings a cool one. I also like the fact that in Hermitcraft, Impulse was sort of the leader of the resistance against Ren. And in 3rd Life he was the traitor who turned against Dogwarts and helped the anti-Dogwarts alliance win.
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THE IMPULSE PARALLEL!!! That's INSANE!! Dude, there's literally so much incredible material to make a series out of. The storylines are masterful.
@@miriamhodges5632 IKR! Also, in Season 10. Tell me the purple lines on Impulse’s new Cyberpunk skin aren’t Fragments from the Eyes and Ears AU.
Wow!!! This is amazing. I love Bdubs puppeteering Ren and whispering in his ears and the flashbacks to Third life This perfectly captures the vibe of Ren'e desperate scramble for power at the end of his reign. Amazing
Wow, love this comment! I really appreciate it, that's exactly what I was trying to get across!
This is so good!!!!! I hope Ren sees this! I love how you used the clip of Ren saying “outrageous” is so amazing I love this animation so much
Thank you!! I hope Ren sees it too! And yes, I had to put that audio clip in, it was too perfect!
He did indeed see this, fortunately. He even left a comment :)
duuude. this is LIT! what??? the bdubs and martyn switching, scar flickering, the diamonds switching to emeralds, ren's hair colour slowly fading EPIC
Thank you so much!!
MIRIAM, THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! I really love how you show Ren, how he changes with time, his loyal advisers. I also love the parallel with Third Life. You connected stories and it became one completed piece. You put so many details in the animatic and you even coloured it! I can see how much effort and love were put into the animatic. Masterpiece!✨
Thank you so so much! That means a lot coming from you!!
Omg persefida I love your work too
OH WOW THIS IS SO AMAZING!! I absolutely adore the details of Ren’s hair getting grayer as more things happen! He does really have a knack for becoming a king.
Thank you so much!! And I'm so glad you picked up on that detail!! Also ikr XD
"how many times have you watched this?" me: yes
OKAYYY but same tho- i think I've had to watch this a thousand times 💀💀 ALSO THANK YOU
The bit with his arms outstretched & all the chaos he’s caused flashing behind him tho
That part took so long to do 😭😭
I like the perspective of Bdubs secretly pulling the strings, nice touch.
Thanks so much, that's one of my favorite parts!
I love how bdubs is puppeteering ren with words and physical strings in one scene
Thank you! That's one of my favourite shots!
WELP, I WAS RIGHT - THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SICK! It was a pleasure to watch this masterpiece slowly come together and seeing the final product is so satisfying! I'm so proud of you, Miriam!!! ❤
😭😭 thank you for helping me with outlining and ideas!
From one MCYT creator to another
OMG!!! I love this, the storyline really got overshadowed by the crossover so seeing cool content like this is so great. Edit: I NEED THIS INJECTED INTO MY BRAIN PERMANENTLY
AHHDGSJD YES I AGREE THIS ARC WAS ELITE AND IM GLAD YOU ENJOYED
Woah!! This was AMAZINGG! Never expected this song to be used for a hermitcraft animatic! I really love how you drew ren, he really felt like a genuine villain in this animatic! Not to mention the animated bits are so good!! And oh god I love how bdubs is controlling ren with the threads :0
Ahhh, thanks so much, man!! I thought this song fit him perfectly, I had to use it! I'm so glad you liked it 😁
This fits the song very well. I also love the animation, it is very stylish
Thank you so much!!
Also, ren in glasses is giving dad vibes and I'm ✨here for it✨
BAHAHAH YESSSS
his hair going grey is such a great addition
HOOO BOY IT'S DONE I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! Edit: IT'S AMAZING!!!!! I'm definitely going to rewatch this sooo many times and add it to my favorites list. Edit 2: I was also just in a animatic mood so this was kind of perfect timing lol.
YA WON'T HAVE TO WAIT LONG
@@miriamhodges5632 I've just rewatched it for over the tenth time. It's that good. I especially love the detail at 2:22 of Bdubs being shorter than Ren and Martyn. Hehehehehe. I love all of it and I find it so difficult to bring myself to pause it while actually watching it so that I can take in all the details just because I love the pacing so much that I don't want to ruin it by pausing while watching. Also: I went ahead and rewatched the original version of this song and I think that Rendog fits the song best tbh. The feels of this animatic just fit the feels of the song so well.
Thank you so much!! That's really high praise! And yep, Bdubs is a shorty XD
You know what I've watched this 5 times now and I still find it so amazing, would love if there was a whole tv show that looked like this about rens story being controlled by Bdubs and scar hunting down hermits, the animation gives a very 80s old medieval cartoon feel, I love it.
Ah!! That's such a unique description of the style, but I'm so honoured by it! Thank you!
@@miriamhodges5632 no problem, and well done again 😄
AAAAAAAAAAAA MIRIAM THIS FREAKING ROCKS ASDKJASKJDHLASJHD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH EVERYTHING IS SO WELL DONE I AM BLUESCREENING
AHHHHSGDHSHSG MOOZ THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS MEANS A LOT SHDJDGDJS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
AHHHH THANK YOUUU
Yoooooo this is insane bro
Thank you!!
@@miriamhodges5632 ofc
This makes me want king Ren with bdubs and martyn as advisors in the life series.... they'd cause so much mayhem..
There's a lot of love poured into that animation, and it shows. The parallels drawn with both versions of King Ren are prefect. Especially love Bdbus puppeteering Ren with the red strings. The level of detail, the animation is super smooth. Well done. Love it.
😭😭 thank you so much!!
It is so nice of Dreamsmp to inspire original music that makes a perfect Hermitcraft animatic! Also thanks to CG5 for a great song
The animation is so good!! And the song choice, when I looked at the video title, I thought "Huh, that song might fit very well with Rendog the King", and after watching it, the song fits so well that from now on I'll probably think of Rendog instead of Quackity when listening to this song
THAT'S SUCH HIGH PRAISE THANK YOU
Love the Quackity and Rendog crossover
Thanks! Me too!
I love how dramatically this is portrayed, when really it was just a several month bit where ren spoke in a -Pirate- -Scottish- ridiculous accent whilst remaking the entire economy in quite a positive way until it was the chaos caused by the OTHER hermits that made him ruin everthing
AHAHAHAH YES SO TRUE It's just too much fun to reinterpret the events to make it all serious and dramatic! Especially since the storylines are actually pretty freaking solid. Glad you enjoyed!
I love how unique it was when you showed Martyn being kind of like the predecessor to Bdubs and all the references to 3rd life
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it. I put a lot of work into finding the parallels so it feels good to have someone notice!!
This literally gave me chills, I love this so much oh my goodness. The slow transition of Ren's hair from brown to grey to show the stress was a really nice detail. I love the scene near the end with all of the previous frames of his actions showing behind him. This is honestly so cool, the Rentheking arc was epic and so this is animation!!
Oh my goodness, thank you!!!
A song about a character from an SMP that has an animation accompanying it being used for another character from a different SMP with an animation accompanying it. Clever.
AHAHAHAHA YES EXACTLY
This is absolutely AMAZING!!!! The King Ren plotline is epic and you did a FANTASTIC job putting it all together into this animatic!!! Really hope the algorithm picks this one up, because you deserve it
Ahh, thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear I did a good job capturing everything!
From the thumbnail and title, I was wondering if it would be hermitcraft or third life. It was both. And that was even better. I adore this video.
AWWWWWW THANK YOU!!
Gah EVERYTHING about this is just SUPERB, the shots and parallels between 3L and S9 is just AMAZING, like wow wow wow! The biggest round of applause!!!!!!
AWWWWW THANK YOUUU
Also also this moment here 1:14 is so flipping fantastic omg
WAAAHHHHH This is so good!!! I love the parallels between Martyn and Bdubs and how 3rd life fades in and out it’s so cooool!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; we need Ren to play a mad king at least once every couple years, because the fan creations we get out of it are always absolutely top tier This is wondrous, congratulations on a job well done! (Think my fav part is Scar flashbacks? But I’ll need to watch a few more times to make sure)
He just fits the king role so well!! I absolutely agree. And thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed (and yes, the Scar bit was so fun!) 🤗
NOT THE THIRD LIFE FLASHES THATS MEAN. U CANT MAKE ME HAVE THE FEELINGS AT THE SAME TIME!😂
IM SORRY IT WAS TOO PERFECT I HAD TO 😭🤧😖
@@miriamhodges5632 AGH😭😭
Now how long until Ren sees this…? Ren did such a great job. And this piece of art does a great job showing how much we all loved his performance(s). Did not catch the crown changing the first time I watched. Well done.
The fact that you watched it more than once 😖😭 thank you so much
@@miriamhodges5632 Definitely more than once. 😁 Nostalgia. Big time. I’m sure you’ll get this question a lot, but how long did this take to make? (Knowing full well you should feel very satisfied with your work regardless)
@@PRINCEofNONE I had the idea in September of last year, so it took me over ten months! Granted, I was working in bursts over that time, I wasn't like drawing for five hours every day, but it was a fairly consistent effort over that time! So yeah, nearly a year's worth of work.
No way! Love this! I hope Ren sees it!
I love when people use songs from other mcyt characters for completely unrelated characters it's so fun to see
Same! Thanks so much!
I love how you interpreted this song, I never would’ve expected to fit this well with Ren and the Hermits
Thank you so much! I'm glad you think it fits!
Someone show this to Ren on stream!!! He’s gotta see this! 😱🤩
Absolutely stunning, I don't know what to say. The perfect symbolism lining up with the lyrics, the story, the beautiful art, what a masterpiece. I already loved this song as I do any CG5 song, but taking what was a DSMP fan song and applying is so perfectly to Ren is just genius. Marvelous work :0
Ahh, YES!! I honestly can't see this song as a DSMP song anymore! It fits Ren too well. 😂 Thank you SO much!!!
This is so good, we need rendog to see this!!
AAAAAAAAA Wow. The link to Third Life was incredible. The art is stunning. The lyrics and art are perfectly matched The song choice is amazing Wow.
THIS ANIMATION IS INCREDIBLEE!!! I love all the comparrisons between Third Life and Hermtcraft
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed!!
WOWOWOW!! That is so so so cool omg!!!! The Third Life and HC parallels, the transition from brown to white hair- and don’t even mention the shot of Bdubs puppeting Ren I cannot get over it it’s SO COOOOOOOL
OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO COOL!! Love how it has parallels between 3L Ren and HC Ren!! The character designs are so neat and the art is so pretty!!! Not to mention the way you shows Bdubs as the puppeteer behind the throne??? And adding Ren’s “outrageous” into the audio- and the swishy cape animations!! Seriously ADORE this!!
WAAHHH THANK YOU SO MUCHHH
DUDE THIS IS SO GOOD WHAT RHE HECK??? i love how you have his hair start going grey as his reign continues, it’s like he’s greying from all the stress he’s under, I LOVE IT I also really like how you had Bdubs clearly being the instigator for a lot of what Ren does. Like Bdubs was the one who made Ren king (and Scar mayor, now that I think about it), and he had a hand in a lot of this stuff and. I dont see a lot of people mentioning it. And the depiction of the heads being all bloody and cut off-it’s so easy to forget cause it’s all minecraft but Ren did absolutely have these people beheaded and it really adds to the vibe. And his completely white hair at the end when they confront him in the vault! It’s so cool i cannot begin to understate how cool that idea is. And the 3rd life parallels!! Ren being a king there and dying from his enemy’s hand and being a king in Hermitcraft and being slain by his enemy and everything that happened is just! So thematically relevant to each other! And it’s all SO GOOD? THE DIAMONDS TURNING INTO ROYAL EMERALDS? THE SKULLS UNDER REN’S THRONE? BDUBS AND HIS PRESENCE AS THE PUPPETEER WHILE REN IS HIS UNASSUMING PUPPET?? REMARKABLE THIS IS TOO GOOD MAN
SOBBING I LOVE COMMENTS LIKE THESE THIS ACTUALLY MADE ME TEAR UP A BIT THE FACT THAT YOU PICKED UP ON ALL THESE DETAILS AHHH EVERYTHING YOU PICKED UP ON WAS VERY MUCH INTENTIONAL AND I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT 😭😭😭
@@miriamhodges5632PLEASE I LIVE FOR SYMBOLISM IN ANIMATION AND WRITING 😭😭😭
watching this gave me chills omg!! this looks like a movie trailer or something, I’m absolutely i n f a t u a t e d
AWW THANK YOUUUUU
Ren needs to see this he's going to love it! you did amazing and im glad for youtube recommending it to me
Ahhhh, I really hope he sees it!! Thank you!!
Okay.you got me crying on the head display.the last head on display made this look creepy and made me break out in tears.btw good map imma go cry and pay my respects to all who got their head chopped off😭😭😭😭👍
Awwwww 😭😭😭 tysm I appreciate it also I hope I didn't make you too sad-
This is SO COOL!!! I love the switches between Hermitcraft and Third Life! You did such a good job on this!!
Why, thank you!
theres so much here dude. the flash backs to third life, the way his hair gets whiter as time goes along, the ANIMATION, THE LINEART AND LIKE THE FRAMING OF SCENES. def one of my favorite hermitcraft animations ive seen in a while man good job
YOOOO!!! This is so cool!! I love the back and forth from Hermitcraft and 3rd life!
This might just be the best animatic I have ever seen, the song, the references, the character design, just everything! Got me in tears the first time I watched it lol
WHAAAATTTHDGSJGDJDD OH MY GOSH I- THAT'S SUCH A HUGE COMPLIMENT JUST- WOW, I'M SO THANKFUL THAT YOU ENJOYED UM IMMA GO SCREAM NOW-
ALSO WDYM THE "FIRST TIME" YOU WATCHED IT?? HOW MANY TIMES YOU WATCHIN BRO???
@@miriamhodges5632it’s been at least six and counting
got me hooked fr
😰😰 WHAT
AHHHHHHH!!!!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! I can't believe how many parallels there are between Season 9 and Third Life and your art is just *chefs kiss*.
Thank you!!!
oh my GOOOOOOSHHHHH THIS IS INCREDIBLE?!?!?!?! when one MCYT song inspires a completely different MCYT video. We are not immune to the propoganda
AHAHAHHAAHA YESSS
I’ve watched about 30 seconds of this and I can already tell that the rest is going to be awesome. The frames and expressions are absolutely gorgeous!! Great work!
Yay, thank you!
0:27 I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK 0:44 SAME WITH THIS I LOVE MARTYN ❤❤❤ 2:22 RENCHANTING I MISS UUUUUUU 2:23 BRB GONNA GO CRY-
THANK YOUUUU
Omg this so soooo good. It's giving me. History sure be rhyming with this one. Gosh. This is fantastic. It like, goodness, is so so good
Thank you so much, wow! Yeah, history's giving straight bars out here with this one... I'm so glad you enjoyed!!
OH MY GOD THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I need every single person to watch this masterpiece right now.
OH THIS IS SO COOL!!! when i heard tbis song more recently all i could think about was how cool it would be to a ren animatic and you did it SO well!! i love it flicking between hermitcraft and third life
20 seconds in and you dont know how much i love this. king renis so underappreciated!!!
I completely agree!! And thank you so much!!
I love how you tied HermitCraft and the life series together through Ren!
Ahh thank you!!
This is so awesome! I love how his hair gets steadily grayer, like how his mc skin eventually turned gray
Thank you! Exactly!
Nice catch!
Sjdhwkighehdh A DREAM SMP SONG, USED OVER BOTH A 3RD LIFE PLOTLINE AND THE HERMITCRAFT S9 KING PLOTLINE, AND IT FITS SO DANG PERFECTLY I CANT EVEN BELIEVE IT. This is gorgeous. So many well dones do you.
Oh gosh I'm trying to respond to everyone and there are so many sweet comments- thank you, thank you!!
Omg I love this animatic!!! The references to 3rd life, the hair slowly turning into white! Aaaaaaaah great job! You're sp talented! 👏
I just wanna listen and watch this on loop
truly, quite the work of art. i commend you 👏👏👏
Thank you very much, I appreciate it
YOU’RE AMAZING!!! HOLY COW THIS IS CRAZY!
OH. MY. GOSH. What?? How are you so incredibly talented?? I am in shock. That was insane. I love the way you've portrayed Ren's descent into madness as Ren the King and tying in 3rd Life?? Showing his appearance alter slowly to fit with Ren's skin as we got closer to the end was stunning. Give yourself a big pat on the back!
SFJDHDJD THANK YOU SO MUCH
Oh wow, holy sht, this is next level storytelling!! This is an AMAZING piece of work!! ♥️
Thank you so much!! 🥺😖🥰
HOLY- Miri this is SO AWESOME! I JUST LOVE IT AHHHHH!!! SO GREAT! YOU DID IT WONDERFULLY!
Thank you so much!!
OMG when I heard this song I couldn't stop thinking of Ren, you presented this so well! It tells a great story while also being fully colored! This is amazing!
I'm so glad other people thought this song fit Ren, too!!! Thank you!
Still come back to watch this every so often 🤣
THAT IS SO FLATTERING YOU HAVE NO IDEA
@@miriamhodges5632 np
This was amazing! I loved the way you flashed back to the Red King from 3rd life and paralleling it to Ren during the king arc!
Thank you! So glad you liked the parallels! They were too incredible not to include them. The craziest thing is that none of it is scripted, but it has more symbolism and parallels than most Netflix shows!
And the Oscar goes to... Miriam! I can't- this is absolute gold. The details are incredible. So much more dramatic than the actual series. And I love it. I don't even want to know how long this took to make. Totally subbing!!
Awwwww, thank you so much!! Your support means a lot!!
@miriamhodges5632 Of course!! Keep it up, God bless! ❤️ 👑
@@audreymation God bless you too! 🥰🤗
This is literally insane! Love it
IT FITS HIM SO WELL HOW HAVE I NOT THOUGHT OF THIS
DUDE MY BRAIN EXPLODED WHEN I FIRST LISTENED TO THE SONG WITH THE CONTEXT OF REN
I love this so much! How he slowly got gray hair, to the glasses at the end, to the art! This is a masterpiece ❤
It's only after everything was over and people talking about the whole King Ren arc that I realize how insane things had been (from recap videos, Cleo and Cub's museum, productions like these). The whole plot could rival actual TV series, and this animatic captures so much of the spirit. Too bad I don't see much nonHC viewer reactions in the comments, as even without context the music and video are epic
I completely agree! So flattered you think my animatic captures that. Thank you for the comment!
Yes. Yes. Yes. This is very correct. I like it a lot. Good job. The king parallels are there and it’s so cool
Thank you!
This is absolutely incredible! So, so gorgeous, and the song choice was perfect as well. Especially with Cleo and Ren's recent episodes looking back over the King arc and giving Ren the credit he so rightly deserves. I hope he gets the chance to see this and understand just how much he's impacted all of us with his amazing creativity. Congrats on finally finishing it!
Thank you so much!! ❤
Living for the 3rd Life callbacks!
THAT WAS INSAME IM SCREAMINGFGFHFBFGFG
I love this animatic! My brain has already chosen for this to be my favourite animatic of the week :)
Oh my stars that's so unbelievably sweet! Thank you!
@@miriamhodges5632 your welcome
THIS IS SO GOOD!!! I love this. The King Ren arc was so good.
i love the 'scars don't heal if given blood a taste' part, where scar and ren switched btwn hermit forn and third life form! it was smooth
Thank you so much!! That was one of the first parts of the animatic I had planned!
This is flipping fantastic!!!!
this is such a cool animatic! i love how rens hair goes from dark brown to grey
Thank you so much! That's one of my favorite details!
