Decided to make a lil animation of our favorite Gigacorp employee for today's hermitaday :D He's exploring the recently discovered planet he build his base on.
Oh! What's that??? Looks like he got spooked by something... It was probably just the wind or something, right? I'm sure its fine... :)
(closeups/non animated version below!)
Goodness gracious, i can't believe hermitaday 2024 is over??? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE COMPLETED AN ART CHALLANGE LIKE THIS LMFAO-
Everyone say thank you to my adhd meds!!! Are they working properly??? Nope. Not at all. But they r making me hyperfixate on things 24/7, mainly art, which is probably the only reason i completed this LMFAO (my grades on the other hand... Are suffering... Oop-)
[Day 30]: TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL-
(Whenever i export animations, procreate sometimes messes up the colors a bit? It looks fine on my ipad, but the animation is desaturated on my phone, so here's what it should look like:)
Anyways, i thought it would be funny to draw Joel summoning Effo, inspired by Grian & Scar summoning mumbo during season 8. It turned out even sillier than i thought it would and i absolutely love it wkdhwjd
(explanation of the animation + sketch of the tail below!)
Also wanted to show off the sketch since it shows off the movement a lot better! I did end up changing a LOT (and even ended up adding some frames where i did lineart w/o a sketch inbetween... Oop-) but u can still kind of see the drag and offset?
So basically: since the tail isn't a stiff object like... A table or sth, it has multiple 'joints' (<-don't remember the proper term for it). Now, if u animated the tail just moving back and forth it would look v v stiff and wierd, since irl the tip of the tail would be "dragged along" with the bottom (<-aka the ACTUAL joint that the movement originates from). To create a more organic and realistic movement, you need to slightly delay the other parts of the tail. I usually use those lil circles to sketch this out at first, since its a lot easier to do without having to worry about shape and perspective and such.
(in theory i know wayyy too much about animation, but in practice im still struggling to do it bc i don't have much experience animating ekfhakdj- i do know the theory p well, which is why im hoping his lil explanation might help someone! Let me know if u guys want me to include some art theory lessons more often :D)
I don't rly have ocs? Idk why, but i REALLY struggle with making original characters & their backstories, but i come up w/ AUs in mere seconds??? Idk man, my brain is wierd.
Yall should vote for what oc i should draw next HERE
Currently trying to figure out the chronological order for wolau...
Im trying to base.. Certain "events" off of the life series right
BUT I NEED STH THAT HAPPENS DURING SECRET LIFE TO HAPPEN EARLY ON AAAA (aka grian and effo teaming up w/ the warden and wither)
So now im just like. Making lists of things and trying to put it in the right order LMFAO
Also shortening some stuff bc... I feel like what i currently have would "drag on" for too long, so i gotta fix the pacing a bit. I wanna finsih planning out most of it before i post anything else cause i tend to be indecisive and don't wanna accidentally lie LMFAO-
how many followers do i need to get random asks god be nosy u little shits ask me about my personal life this is fucking boring getting nothing
Here's the second artwork for this chapter :D It's Xornoth destroying a building! Yay! Death!
(if you saw me post this yesterday... NOT YOU DIDNT. my sleep deprived ass definitely didn't accidentally post this yesterday at 2am...)
Close ups below!
Listen, i hate the new minecraft trailer as much as everyone else does.
However. They added furr to the creepers. FURR. Yk. Like fanartists do whenever they draw creeper hybrids (ex: doc or sam). Now listen, i know they didn't actually look at fanart for inspo... But the possibility of that happening is so fucking funny.
Also, that technically means furry creepers are just cannon now apparently. All those silly fanarts of fluffy doc? Canonically accurate now. Congrats to any fanartists who drew creepers this way, yall r blessed by Apollo apparently.
Im sorry but i genuinely think this is so fucking hilarious
(Or maybe im just sleep deprived, who cares)
Zedaph: "Only a little bit of pain, but the pleasure you receive from Sticky Kicky is well worth it if you ask me!"
Plsss this sounds so wrong, but also just confusing out of context
Listen, i love Joel's whole car symbolism and all... Its very meaningful... And stuff...
But i rly think we should make him Venus. Yk. Cause he's short.
