It’s very rarely a person knows exactly what they want to be. Some would be a better storyteller because that’s what their passion is about. Some artists would improve faster just because they have the ability to learn faster.

Each person is different and has a different speed of absorbing the new information. It’s hard to not compare yourself to others but for your own mental health you should try to stop it. If you know how something works you can draw it from different angles. Use you brain along with your eyes to learn things. Even a little bit of new knowledge is making you better than you were before learning it. Don’t get discouraged if you can’t memorize things as quickly as you hoped so. The best piece of characterisation is that of the pompously self-important sporting hero Karkass Khan and his seemingly unfazed pursuit of the princess Bakara, which gives the film its greatest moments of amusement throughout.If you don’t like studying and learning stuff, well, you better develop the love for it, because the ability to learn is what will determine the speed of your improving as artist. Young Joris and his quest to save his adolescent love engages you in the way that child-like characters in these films usually do. The level of fantasy seems pitched down to children’s animation but the sense of humour is often something adult. The film comes with a more than reasonable sense of humour. This is okay but we have seen enough anime for all of this to slip into pretty but forgettable eye candy as soon as each sequence kicks in.įar better is the engagement of the characters. On top of this, the directors also throw a reasonable amount of epically sized mass destruction and animated power blasts. The look of the animation kept reminding me of Ralph Bakshi’s Wizards (1977) with its mix of simply drawn talking animal and elven fantasy characters. Character line-up – (clockwise from left) Kerubim Crepin, Khan Karkass, Bakara, Lilotte and Joris The film falls into character types that are familiar to anyone who has watched a reasonable degree of anime – the young pre-adolescent protagonist hero with great powers he is unaware of the aging mentor the black hat villain(ess) the quest for the artifact of world-destroying power and so on. This could have been helpful in terms of explaining some of the background of the characters and their relationship to one another but in truth it is all fairly easy to pick up and you absorb into the world in no time.
DOFUS BOOK I JULITH SERIES
I had no familiarity with either the Dofus online role-playing game or the animated series before I sat down to watch Dofus – Book 1: Julith.
DOFUS BOOK I JULITH TV
The tv series then spawned this feature-film spinoff. There have been a number of spinoffs, most notably the animated tv series Dofus: The Treasures of Kerubim (2013), which consisted of 52 thirteen-minute episodes centred around Kerubim Crepin and his young ward Joris, which alternated between Kerubim recounting his youthful adventures and the escapades of the Joris in the present. In the game, players join guilds and go on fantasy quests through the game’s virtual world. The original world appeared in 2004 and has since expanded to other languages. In the aftermath, Kerubim realises they must enter the Ecaflip dimension and journey to the temple there to retrieve the White Dofus egg before Julith obtain both eggs, which will allow her to conquer the world.ĭofus is a French multi-player online role-playing game.

Julith then attacks and tries to drag the black dragon soul out of Joris, something he was not aware resided in him. He follows Joris home, hoping to get to meet her. Karkass’s head is spun by the arrival of Bakara, Jahash’s sister and the heir to the throne of Bonta. Seeking only to have his ball autographed, Joris is instead thrown into the midst of the tryouts where he impresses Karkass as an excellent ball tosser. Joris and his fellow orphan Lilotte hatch a plan to sneak in to the stadium where the star Gobbowl player Khan Karkass is holding tryouts. Elsewhere in Bonta, young Joris is an orphan cared for by Kerubim Crepin.

Ten years later, Julith returns to the city of Bonta and snatches the Black Dragon egg. All went well until Julith unleashed the Black Dragon again and Jahash sacrificed himself to stop this. Jahash and Julith, guardians of the White and Black Dofus dragon eggs, fought a long and hard war, which ended when they abruptly fell in love.
