I can't believe I haven't done this sooner! Not only is Close Up one of my favorite animation memes (and There's Something Happening one of my favorite songs), character close-ups are also one of my favorite things to draw!
Honestly though I am so genuinely proud of this. I'm like,, 3 Strikes proud, and 3 Strikes is my favorite animation that I've made. I'm so happy with how it turned out and I'm so glad I finished before school began (only one more week!) I'm glad I can finally share Heaven's story and explain a big part of the Angel lore, even if it's a bit silly I'm so happy with how this turned out. Thank you so so much for your kind words and patience while I worked on stuff, you guys are amazing!
Inspired by Blackie Sootfur's version, Glithy's version, and Okami Wolven's version! They all take such different approaches and yet they all work so very well! Easily some of my favorite animations on this site, I rewatch them all the time.

Story Stuff:
Ok so, I'm not too great at visual storytelling just yet, so to avoid any confusion I'm just gonna explain everything here:
Everything starts with Nekro and Heaven choosing to wander rather than live in their respective clans, leaving their closed-off and paranoid-about-the-outside-world families to be with each other.
It all goes south (Nekro believes) when he introduces Heaven to flying above the clouds to see the clear sky, which is generally known to awaken and summon the Dragon King, a creature who has reign over the clouds and weather. Nekro had never been caught so he figured it was safe
They were happy together
They had a kit, and named him Storm (who went on to be known simply as Angel, the common name of the winged-cat species)
One day a lone Bone Wolf finds them (wolf with double jaws, same one from Darkside vid). Nekro defends to allow Heaven and the kit time to escape. He gets away himself and runs to find Heaven, arriving just in time to see her being caught by the Dragon King.
In response to his emotions, Nekro lashes out at the wolf.
Before eventually finding the kitten, who Heaven had hidden away to keep safe.
Bare-bones explanation but y'know. Hope you enjoyed!
