Lipsyncing Animation Practice

I've been stuck inside for the COVID-19 quarantine, so I thought I'd entertain myself by drawing the eight frames needed to lipsync any vocal sounds and rearrange them to fit songs, quotes, and just recently, a press conference at Blizzcon 2018. I've been getting a bit better every time, and it's been fun to learn some new things about phonetics and phonology in the process. It's amazing how even something like the rhythm of blinking has to be determined when animating vocals... I don't know how the big studios do it so thoroughly. Here are my projects so far:

D&D for Kids (Bonus): Warlock Class

Bonus Magical Class

Warlock

Warlocks are people who "borrow" their magical abilities from a master more powerful than they are, like a genie, a demon, a angel, or a fairy queen. These magical abilities come with a price, however: as long as the warlock wants to keep their powers, they must do whatever their master says. Keeping deals in this way can be risky, but warlocks can enjoy magical power  (see “Magic and Spellcasting” to choose) without even having to study old books to learn it. If you want to be a warlock, choose one of the Class Abilities below to start with.

• Familiar. Your master gives you a familiar, which is a small creature that calls you its master. The familiar can look like any type of small animal like a cat, toad, or bat, and you can see what it sees and cast spells through its hands instead of yours if you want. 
• Level 1 Spellcasting. You learn to cast one Arcane Level 1 spell. Level 1 spells are weak, but they only require 1 action to cast, and you can cast them as many times as you want.
• Level 2 Spellcasting. You learn to cast one Arcane Level 2 spell. Level 2 spells are better than Level 1 spells, but they require 2 actions to cast. Once you cast this spell two times, you have to rest before you can cast it again. Once you cast this spell two times, you have to rest before you can cast it again.
• Level 3 Spellcasting. You learn to cast one Arcane Level 3 spell. Level 3 spells are the most powerful spells, but they require 3 actions to cast. Once you cast this spell, you have to rest before you can cast it again.
• Pact Blade. You can use 1 action to summon a magical weapon into your hand. It can be any kind of weapon, and you can use 1 action to make the weapon disappear or change to a different kind of weapon.
• Epic Ability: Eldritch Blast. You can fire a blast of energy at a monster from far away to hurt it. This ability only costs 1 action, so you can use it up to 3 times in one turn!

D&D for Kids: Magic and Spellcasting

Magic & Spellcasting

Some characters have classes that allow them to know words and gestures for casting magic spells. You may also find magical books or wands that give you magical powers. Below is a list of some spells you can choose from. You can only cast one spell per turn.

If you have an idea for a spell of your own, you can ask your Dungeon Master about it. If the spell is allowed, he or she will tell you whether it's a Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 spell. There are two kinds of spells: Arcane spells, which use power from the magic in the universe and the world around you, and divine spells, which use power from beings like spirits, angels, nature, and gods.

D&D for Kids: Combat

Combat

Adventures often involve heroes fighting evil monsters, and the same can happen to your character! The Dungeon Master will control the monsters, and your character will be able to use his or her abilities to fight with sword, shield, or sorcery to rid the world of them. You don’t have to fight monsters; you can try reasoning with them or sneaking past them. But in the event that combat begins, here’s what you need to know.

D&D for Kids (Bonus): Rare Races

Rare Races

Aasimar

Whereas tieflings are created from dark magic, aasimar (pronounced "awesome-ar") are born with heavenly powers. They are guided by angels who speak to them in dreams in visions, teaching them to use their powers for good. Aasimar mostly look like humans, but they are generally taller and more beautiful, sometimes with golden or jewel-colored eyes, alabaster skin, or silver hair. Aasimar can live up to 160 years old. Aasimar love to destroy anything evil. If you want to be an aasimar, choose one of the Racial Traits below:

• Light Magic. You can make light to shine in the darkness, and you can heal wounds. After you heal someone's wounds, you need to rest before you can do it again.
• Angel Wings. You can cause feathery, glowing angel wings to sprout from your shoulders so that you can fly for 1 minute. After you fly, you need to rest before you can do it again.
• Radiant Power. You can sense evil creatures like vampires, demons, and skeletons nearby, and dark magic can't hurt you.

D&D for Kids: Choosing a Class

Choosing a Class

Your character’s “class” involves their set of skills, what they’re good at, and their calling and job in an adventuring group. Do you want your character to be a knight in armor holding a sword and shield, a wizard with a magic staff, or something else? Choose one of the classes below, then pick a Class Ability to start with.

Each time you play D&D, you’ll gain experience that lets your character grow and gain new abilities. The more adventures and stories you adventure through, the more powerful your hero will become! Below are the classes you can be in D&D. Pick a class, and then choose one of the abilities beneath it as your Class Ability. Whenever you level up through experience, you can gain another use of your Class Ability or choose a new one. When you reach Level 10, you can gain your class’s Epic Ability.
