First of all, this is one of the stories I'm the proudest, I know this won't affect my grade whatsoever but I really put my whole mind through this story.

So obviously, the story is a fable where the Grasshopper starve and cold because he didn't hoard foods before the storm, you guys can hint a little Easter egg of that part on the first scene in the grocery store where Harry found Andy staring at the Store with a full basket of foods. More Easter eggs are the “Katydid” nickname of Andy to Harry. Katydids are actually Long-Horned grasshopper, another kind of grasshopper. Andy refers him from it because of his hairstyle.

Storyboard Sketches:

Furthermore, I know I haven't finished this but I just wanna say that I will make an animatic progress and animation (final) of this when I graduate (I might not start it as soon as I graduate but I'll try to start if my mental and emotional health is good again because I'm suffering to a lot which also lead me to my unproductiveness and late passing of my outputs). Hope I could still finish the designs of them, graded or not and hope you guys can watch my possible animation soon.

This is R13 so I'll be adding swears on the actual animation (this version is the censored version).

Current character designs I finished:

Harold "Harry" Caelifera

(the Grasshopper)

lazy as heck
party 24/7
can be seen wasted to most bars
very dependable tho
kinda dumb and pretty stubborn
Andy sometimes call him katydid because of his horn like hairstyle

Anthony "Andy" Solenopsis

(the Ant)

very hardworking
thinks ahead before everyone else
often a party pooper
very generous tho
mom of the group
also the "rich single godparent" of the group
