this is more of an example of pinned back ears. i dont necessarily think they only mean fear, it's also more like an overall tense/heightened emotion

and yes this meme expression was specifically requested thru notes xD. it's pretty much a confession/rejection scene, so I really wanted to make those emotions hit. the animators added a lot of flair and specificity into the acting which made it all come together soooo well <333

and I love me some good hand acting, so I wanted Vox's outstretched hand to really represent his vulnerability. he's going out on a limb, y'know. so Alastor really zeroes in on it to reject him. then I mirrored it with Alastor's hand in the FG, as a kind of mockery of Vox's actions
November 22, 2025 at 9:28 PM
...contrasted with the following downshots that also reflect how small he's feeling as soon as Alastor completely blasts him.

they've been on pretty even territory in the composition until now. so when Vox is trying to amp himself (and Alastor) up so I chose an upshot to reflect his rising anticipation. and Alastor's ears are pricked up as well
November 22, 2025 at 9:22 PM
during the entire first part, Vox is leaning into Alastor's space. Alastor isn't reeeally leaning away too much, but he's definitely not leaning in either. and i liked drawing Vox's little shy face in the background as he works up his courage to ask Alastor to work with him (confess)

now onto the backstory! this is a bit of a simpler scene but still had a lot of character moments. I looove drawing box vox, he's such a little cutie. and actually in the initial version I had Alastor way meaner/unhinged but was told to pull back a bit hahah

pls read the entire speech (its on replies), its actually so, so good and what i needed to hear these days

this is the scene i was thinking of btw, from the kdrama "Celebrity"

aaand then we get our lead up to the backstory... (which will have to wait for another time). the animators did sooo good, they made it even better than i could have imagined!! 1000/100 no notes perfect. that combo of arrogance, pity, disdain, and triumph knowing he's got under Vox's wires

now i wanted to contrast where Alastor began in the conversation and where he is now. in the beginning he's hunched and pushed to the far end of the screen. now he sits back and takes control of the entire frame. it's aaaall about him now
November 20, 2025 at 7:02 PM
now it's even more apparent in the framing, Alastor = big, Vox = small. even in the bird's eye view when Alastor takes over the speaker (which is hanging above Vox!), I flipped it so Vox is now at the bottom of the frame and Alastor is on top.
November 20, 2025 at 7:01 PM
in wrenching his head away, Alastor starts to gain control of the conversation. Vox tries to regain his foothold (frame 2) with the upper ground (literally). then i wanted to subvert the conventions of a downshot = minimizing and an upshot = heroic/powerful bc clearly Alastor is in control now
November 20, 2025 at 6:58 PM
this frame was a specific ask from Viv! originally I had Vox sit at the edge of the table but this angle has a lot more impact imo and shows off his long legs (hehe). Vox is now asking Alastor a question, so this interaction also works as a kind of visual handoff between the two.
November 20, 2025 at 6:52 PM
here is when i start evening the playing field. Vox is still monologueing, but a bird's eye view makes them feel more "equal". and even then I give Alastor close up shots where he is the biggest object in the frame. the framing is to make him look isolated, but not "small".
November 20, 2025 at 6:47 PM
Vox is gloating in his win right now, so he's literally taking up more space, boxing Alastor in, and getting real into his face. also I just wanted to include his wires putting on his shoes for him because it's cool. also it's something i remember from a specific kdrama scene.....
November 20, 2025 at 6:44 PM
one of the most difficult things about dialogue scenes (particularly when one character is confined to a chair) is keeping audience interest. i like to do that by playing with angles/staging that either reinforce the dialogue OR subvert it. in the beginning, I wanted to show Vox as more in control

so thrilled to have worked on ep 4!! i was so honored to basically have free reign over the alastor and vox encounter at the end (including the flashback, isn't baby vox the cutest??). thank you to everyone for letting me go buck wild, and seeing yandere eyes alastor in motion is just...the best🥰
