Get Down ♛ Dark!Roman ║ Sanders Sides/Six animatic (please read desc.)

Yaayy, first Sanders Sides thing on this channel! So this is what 650 frames comes to...
If the storyline is a lil' hard to follow, the plot is below here. Just read on.

This took around 6 months of on-and-off work, and hence, my art style varies dramatically (I believe I owe everyone a public apology for initially neglecting to draw noses), so sorry about that. It's also the first time I've done an animatic to a song, and the first time I've tried my hand at some basic animations. They're... Not great so far lol. But hopefully I'll improve! My point is, I put a fair amount of effort into this and there are a lot of firsts for me. I know I could improve on a lot, but please share constructive criticism rather than insults c:

There are probably a ton of songs that fit Roman better, but Six and Sanders Sides are two of my current obsessions, so y'know I had to combine them.

Ahh, right. The plot. Ever since the beginning of season two, Roman has felt somewhat out of touch with the other light sides. He finds himself drifting toward darker emotions and ideas, and feels trapped by others' expectations. As a result, he grows to hate the fanciful image he initially created of himself.
The rest is pretty self-explanatory. Selfishness VS Selflessness was the last straw for him. When Janus picks up on his insecurities, he presents Roman with an offer he can't refuse (and a shiny new outfit, which pretty much seals the deal for him).
So Roman switches sides. By the end, he represents more of a darker version of himself. Not exactly Remus-tier stuff, but angst rather than fluff, vanity rather than ego, lust rather than romance, you get the idea.

I think that's about it. Thanks for reading, I guess :)
