Aye-aye art, character wip & music :)
Added 2024-06-09 05:26:26 +0000 UTCHello Ali cats, I hope you’ve all had a nice weekend so far. I spent my day working on this character above and wondering what kind of animation I want to practice with it. I’m thinking some sparkles on the water once I finish the shading but we’ll see how it goes. She’s going to be my next YouTube roleplay followed by a patron requested one soon after :D
Tomorrow I’ll be posting a question for this week but for now here’s a song for you! As usual feel free to post your own. This one is a song that’s by a band near and dear to me. It makes me so sad they don’t make music anymore. If you go back on my instagram far enough you’ll find one of my characters wearing a shirt with this band :P
Song: “Walls of Jericho” by Fair to Midland
Comments
Always cool to see another Fair to Midland fan. I saw them live in 2007 when I was in high school, and had tickets to see them again in early 2013, but they broke up a couple of weeks before the show! I was crushed, but revisiting that album is something that occurs a couple times a year for sure. Hope you're having a great week in any case, and thank you for all of the audio and art you do!

2024-06-28 23:33:55 +0000 UTCI don’t blame you at all for thinking that. I would think it would taste pretty good being fresh from the coconut too!

2024-06-12 04:07:11 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if that's what it's supposed to taste like, I'm guessing it was fresh cause it was like concentrated bottled coconut water which I hate lol I guess I figured it would taste better directly from the coconut

2024-06-11 23:04:39 +0000 UTCMermachu haha! I love it xD I went with some water sparkles this time around. I screwed up on some of my layers when I was too deep into the water animation. I got frustrated so Ima try again next time when water is involved lol. I swear I’ll conquer these damn animation layers one day- mark my words! D:< I don’t think you’ve recommended that song but I really like it!! I’ve heard that one before so I’m happy to see another fan of it :D I think the last one by ADTR you mentioned was “sometimes you’re the hammer sometimes you’re the nail” which I really enjoy too ^_^

2024-06-10 18:32:03 +0000 UTCI don’t think I’ve ever tried fresh coconut water- I wonder why it tasted like that though; do you think it may have been bad? To be fair I’m not the biggest fan of the canned/bottled coconut water I’ve tried. I like eating coconut but something about the water I don’t like xD

2024-06-10 18:18:32 +0000 UTCYou're welcome. Definitely gives the vibe of driving a fast car.

2024-06-10 18:17:53 +0000 UTCThanks Kai! I went with some sparkles this time but I would like to try some moving water sometime soon for sure ^_^ That song was so good! It gave me late 80s/early 90’s vibes and I love it. Makes me want to drive fast down the freeway! xD

2024-06-10 18:16:13 +0000 UTCI’m so sorry to hear that Azazel, I know that has to be a tough situation to be in the middle of. I’m glad the situation seems to have improved based on your other comment so that’s good. I hope that things stay good this time and your mom and dad can move forward. While not personally, I have dealt with family members in a similar situation so I understand how difficult it can be. Having said that, I hope you and your brother are doing OK ❤️ Also, that song you recommended was so sweet! I had never heard it before until now and I found myself getting a little teary eyed :’)

2024-06-10 18:11:50 +0000 UTCWell... hot diggity damn. She looks like she can put an entire fleet under spell.

2024-06-10 04:44:33 +0000 UTCOoo Mermachu? If you wanted to animate it I think it would be neat to do like the water splashing but also her moving her tail. That was a pretty cool song, definitely has that 2000s feel to it. My song for the week is going to be another song by A Day To Remember, I don't think I've recommended this one before but I'm not sure. The song This Is The House That Doubt Built, this song always makes me feel better when I'm down.

2024-06-10 04:39:18 +0000 UTCShe’s a mermaid! I spent a good bit of time writing the story for her so I’m excited to post it :D

2024-06-10 04:33:37 +0000 UTCNew notes: Situation has been fixed. As much as I wanted then to stop going back and forth with this always, I made them just bury the Shovel so now they aren't in problems anymore. I'm still making sure my little brother doesn't suffer this drama as much as I did so I'm making sure to comfort him the best I could.

2024-06-09 15:24:36 +0000 UTCSo far so good! Yesterday was a good, if expensive day lol only bad thing was I got a coconut from the store meant to drink from and it tasted so...so.. so horrid... definitely not don't that again, how about yours?? And hmm... sparkles or gentle waves looks like they'd be good with that one! Hmm.. ys know, I think I like that song!

2024-06-09 12:09:04 +0000 UTCThe mermaid is coming along well. I was first thinking of little waves coming in, but sun sparkles work, too. For song suggestion: Porscha by Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons

2024-06-09 11:37:23 +0000 UTCThings went horrible during this today. Sorry if it's another vent again, I'm just very sad rn :'( Besides not having anything involved with my older brothers birthday at his house and to keep the information as short as possible, my mother ran away from my father's abuse towards her, saying that he hit her for the last time. I was given the choice to run away with her, but I told her that I didn't and wanted her to find somewhere of our relatives to stay with for the night. After that, I confronted my dad about what he's done wrong and made sure he felt the suffering in my heart to what he did to her. In short, hopefully this will die down tomorrow since I'm gonna be there so they can talk with each other with no yelling and no physical violence. I'm praying to God that this will all blow over soon and that I can make sure to protect her out of my own will. For my song suggestions, I'm gonna make it relatable to how I'm feeling right now. If We Have Each Other by Alec Benjamin. And finally, I think a good water wave animation or her tail wagging in the water would be interesting.

2024-06-09 05:38:58 +0000 UTCAh man I'm excited for the next Alichu audio! Is that a mermaid or siren? Either way, I'm in a trance!
