[ANIMATION] SHG_01

Oh, oh what? All the attachments aren't good enough for you? You want a link? Fine, here it is.

Make sure y'all watch the video of this one, that's the one I wanted to post. But Patreon won't let me. They're discriminating against me. It's attached below, and also in the link.

Hey fellas. Sorry I've been gone so long again, I had to manage my mom's OnlyFans profile for a bit. This time, I have made Shego from Kim Possible. Here is a fun fact about Kim Possible. It was like, three years ago that I realized that "Kim Possible" is supposed to sound like "Impossible," referencing the Tom Cruise movie franchise Mission Impossible. This was like, right after I saw a vanity license plate, from Florida, that said "FLO RIDA." I said, "Hey, that's like the rapper." And then I realized that Flo Rida is just Florida split in half. I think those new neural connections I made helped me realize the Kimpossible thing. I'm a fucking adult. I watched this show as a child, and it took me twenty years to realize the pun.

Anyways, back on topic. Let's discuss Flo Rida. This is my favorite song featuring Flo Rida. Just, like, don't listen to it while you're in school or something, because someone's going to bully you if they hear it. This is one of my "Getting paid" songs, I listen to it when I'm trying to get pumped up. When you're jerking it to one of my animations, just know that I probably listened to this at some point in the creation process. Not this Shego one though. This one I listened to deathly, deafening silence.

Speaking of Shego. She's, uh, pretty popular. I like her. My friends like her. I got asked by two of my closest friends, separately, to draw her. One of them was my IRL friend. Fun fact about me, everyone in my immediate life knows that I draw animated hentai for a living. Yes, even my parents. Yes, I had to tell them. I'm not a very good liar, you see. Yes, my life is like a cringe compilation I cannot escape from. But at least I'm immune to blackmail. Anyways, yes, one of my childhood friends, who I have known since I was 11, asked me to animate Shego hentai. So here she is. I like this character a lot, which is unsurprising. I didn't, like, watch the hell out of this show, but it's kinda like My Life as a Teenage Robot where I really adored the art style.

I mean, hot dog, look at that. So goddamn cool. Look at the stylishness, the energy. That's something I still struggle with, adding that energy. I still feel like my art looks so sterile. Don't get me wrong, I think it moves well, but you don't have to see the above artwork moving to see the energy and liveliness of it.

Oddly enough, for such simple characters, they're really hard to nail the likeness of. For this animation, I did something like five keyframes. Every time I drew one, I would go back and revise them all, to try to get her looking like her, closer and closer. It was shockingly difficult. It would look exactly like my reference, but it wouldn't feel right. I also tried doing temporary colors, to see if that helped. And it did, but like, barely. Ultimately, I like how I got her looking, but it still doesn't entirely feel like her. But, oh well. You can't win 'em all.

I mostly used this one as reference. This might be one of my favorite pictures of her. So cool looking. Now, I like that first one way better, but this is hentai we're talking about. Get too stylish, and you lose some of that sex appeal. I'm not trying to get super expressive here, I'm trying to give y'all boners.

Speaking of boners, this one makes me feel a certain kind of way. I actually wanted her face to look more like this. I tried, but man. I just couldn't do it. I dunno what the hell it is. I also don't know what it is I like about her face here compared to the last reference photo, or how I drew it, but I just really like it. I think that- wait a minute, who's that in the background? Computer. Enhance.

Oh shit. It's my dad.

But yeah. Shego's really cool. I like her a lot, and I'd like to do more with her. You may have noticed that this one is more movey than the ones I usually do. Not only did I do a few extra shots, and video editing (fucking video editing I hate it I hate it I hate it) but I also just animated more in general. Why is that? "Kyde," you say, "normally you're such a lazy sack of shit. I was under the impression that you avoided work and effort like the plague." Well, dear reader, I figured out what was wrong. I got...

The knob.

Behold, my knob. I've been doing this whole animation thing long enough. I thought I should do a knob reveal. Next up will be a voice reveal, then a face reveal, and finally a butthole reveal. But y'all have been good to me, so you get my knob right now.

What is a knob, you ask, and why is it so great? Well, when I animate, I do more of a traditional style of animation. I use a lot of onion skins, and flip back and forth between several frames, over and over, to make sure the movement and the proportions are all nice and functioning. In traditional animation, on paper, animators will put each page between their fingers, and "roll" them, seeing the motion for that little section super fast, and easy. Watch Aaron Blaise on YouTube, you can see him do it when he's working on paper. But how do you do that when you're working with digital animation? How I was doing it before (since 2021), I bound one of the buttons on my stylus to advancing a frame, and when I hit shift and hit that same button, it goes back a frame. I can also push my mouse wheel left and right, and I bound the keys to that as well. So, how it ended up being was pressing this button with my middle finger over and over and over, or clicking my mousewheel left and right with my middle finger over and over and over. It honestly hurt. It hurt my middle finger more than it hurt when your girlfriend made me finger her. Nah, I'm just kidding. My mom doesn't let me finger other girls.

So, enter the knob. This thing's supposed to be for volume, but you can bind it however you want. And I sure did. Now, I can roll through all my frames with my thumb. And it was like, shocking how fast I got used to this. It was basically instantly. Sometimes, that can happen, you make a change that's so good for you, that you pick it up instantly.

Animation went from really uncomfortable to do, to super fun and exciting. I love my knob. I love playing with my knob. I animated one other thing (which I'm still working on) with the knob, and the entirety of this. I honestly had a lot of fun, and that's not something I've said too often here.

With my knob, I'm definitely wanting to do more and more. Longer shit. I liked it. This project, in total, took me something like 70-80 hours to do, and normally I would've hated the experience. But no, I liked it. Thanks, knob. If you're an animator as well, or an aspiring animator, I would highly recommend getting your own knob. I got the smallest knob, and it works perfectly. It becomes so liberating to animate with one.

Anyways, I think that's all I have to say. I like Shego. I will do more Shego. I will also finish some other things. All my ideas are kinda long, now. I dunno, that's what I've wanted to do lately, and people have been telling me to do longer things since... I started. So, I hope y'all like this one. I had a lot of fun doing it. And hey, I'll have fun doing the other things. Now, October is coming up, and we all know I love Halloween. I'm gonna do Halloween animations all month, and hopefully I'll be able to do more than one. Perhaps two? It'd be awesome to do three. But, October is set to be pretty busy. We'll see. Once October is over, I'll spend November doing some of the stuff people have asked me to do. I've been sitting on a Loona one for... god, for over a year now, I think. I actually really like how it looks. So I'll do that one.

I've also been working on this one:

Sybil, from Pseudoregalia. Which is a really fun game. But most people like it for the furry character with a fat ass. But yeah, this is the other one I animated while touching my knob. I didn't finish it, because it's gonna be a bit more complex. A bit more movey. I have three more shots to do, and I figure it'd be better if I like, stagger it. Do some single shot animations, like some of the things people have asked me to do, and then work on this in-between. "Why does the composition suck so much?" You ask. Because it's going to be zoomed in. Starting at her feet, and panning up her body. I get to video edit that. I hate video editing so much. But, It's time I become a proper animatory, by gum.

Anyways, I thought I'd share that shot. I'm supposed to be posting WIPs, anyways. I like the idea of hiding them in my walls of text though. That way you'll be more likely to read them.

That's all from me. I have nothing else to say. I hope y'all like some of this junk I have shared. Oh, and don't post that Sybil anywhere. Because it'll be a while before it's properly done. I like a more grand reveal. Or something. Stay tuned for more shit, hopefully more punctually.

Yer friend,

KYDE
