WIP - Throw It Back

It's been a bad week at work.

But I've pushing ahead on some animations in the downtime.

Hyper Ass April might have not been a thing, but that isn't stopping me.

Cosmic Caboose

So I've been working on stuff. It kind of comes in bursts. Figures, right? ADHD is just like that sometimes. But I've got hyper ass content on the brain...a lot as of late.

Anyway, here's Reina's cosmic caboose.

WIP - Hyper Ass April Test Shot

So I'm pivoting. A little.

I probably can't produce a huge, multi-shot animation by the end of the month. I am but one man. I will, however, keep working with what I have and release it when it's proper finished.

In the meantime I want to test a few technical aspects in terms of the 'look' of the animation, so I decided I'd focus on this to commemorate the month.

The problem with being self taught is you have no workflow. I'm definitely just making this up as I go ...

WIP - Hyper Ass April Color Test

Was Hyper Ass April ever a thing? Well, I'm in too deep now.

This is a color/mood test for a thing I'm cooking on. It's going to be a hot second, but I'm full speed ahead on this. I use this to drive the look and tone of whatever I end up making, I love the acrylic paint look, but I'm not sure how to rig up and blend that with the hand drawn stuff.

But that's kind of the beauty of learning this. I think I have the best chance of figuring out a solution when I throw myself into the...

WIP - Hyper Ass April

Yeah, so , it's happening.

I don't even know if Hyper Ass April is even a thing but I'm in too deep now. So here are some shots I roughed out over the last week. Going to see if I can finish this sucker by the month's end.

April '24 Update: I'm Back Baby

Sorry for the late update. Took a brief vacation in Canada (Ate a fuckload of poutine).

I've been readjusting and reevaluating my cadence and work rate so I don't burn out, since I was definitely sprinting when I first kicked this thing off. But I've had some time to focus up and I feel pretty centered.

In terms of work, I'm freed up and ready to hit it again. A few artists have co...

Protein (UPDATED: W/SOUND)

UPDATED: Version w/Sound Up For Download Below

"How did I get so big? Protein and iron,"

So work kicked my ass this week. But I kind of had a flash over the weekend. I'm trying out faster methods of finishing animations and making sense of workflow.

So enjoy:

-Using keyframes for generic motion.

-Isolating individual pieces so I don't redraw everything for every frame.

-Using camera movement to paper over ani...

Baywatch (SOUNDLESS)

Been working on this little scene. Kind of stretching simple animated loops with some camerawork and parallax to create a mood. 

Sound is still being worked on, but I'm happy with the visuals.

You can download a soundless version below.

WIP - Baywatch

I think the more muscle Lilith I draw, the bigger she gets. Here's something less focused on movement and more on tone and composition. I think that can be just as important in size art, so I went for this.

No idea if this'll fit into something larger just yet, but I had this idea and ran with it. Which might as well be the logline for everything on this account.

WIP - Bulk Out, Bulk Up

So I've been hitting the gym a lot and finding some decent success. Slightly heavier weights, slightly more reps. I'm definitley on the grind right now. Trying to improve myself physically, artistically, yadda yadda. 

If only I could just bulk out like Lilith here.

March Mid-Month: A Question About Cadence

Howdy ya'll. 

I have a few questions about cadence and I want to take a temperature check on how you all are feeling, since you all are the ones giving me money.

Currently I'm trying to hit three patreon posts a week. But I end up putting more time into WIPs and little projects, and it's taking away from larger, more cohesive animations. Also, work is firing on all cylinders and I can feel burnout taking me if I'm not careful.

So, I was wondering what p...

WIP - Take A Breather

Hey guys. Work is kind of kicking my butt lately, so time is scarce. But I still steal some time on lunch breaks and weekends to hit the canvas. I still have muscle!Lilith brainworms, so I appreciate ya'lls patience.

WIP - Framed

So I've been spitballing with smaller animations that I don't intend to finish (full color, sound design), and this snowballed from there.

For those not in the know, Reina isn't just Lilith's VA, but also an online presence in her own right. She's got a sort of whimsical god thing going on that's fun, and I wanted to translate that into animation. 

I think this is the most hand drawn frames I've ever work...

Muscle March - Push Ups

Finally finished this. I made like four muscle loops in a weekend but I wanted to focus up on one to get a 'look' going. So enjoy Lilith working out.

'Muscle March' Style Guide

So animation takes time. But as I get closer to ink and color I like to get a 'style guide' together. Something I can easily color drop from when coloring a LOT of frames. So I usually draw the character and a rough idea of what the background is. And for the muscle Lilith pieces I've been working, I settled on this simplified blue look.

Sort of based on old PPG backgrounds, so Lilith is always popping out with her warmer colors and thicker outlines.

March '24 Update - Thank you all!

Okay damn alright.

I am so overwhelmed by the support ya'll have given me. Thank you all so much for pledging, even if only for a month. I really appreciate it.

The end of February had a LOT of WIP work done. A lot of rough animations and ideas for spitballing. I'm trying to find a good cadence for the Patreon for ya'll, but I might slow my roll a bit while I focus in on finishing bigger stuff.

I've also reshuffled my queue...

WIP - 2BXL

Been playing with a lot of things. A lot of the process right now really is seeing things in media and being like "oh...can I do that?" So this is my attempt at some more dynamic camera movement. Starring everyone's favorite android.

Katsu Birthday

So it was Katsu's birthday recently. He's a pretty cool dude. So I wanted to spitball and ended up with this. Proud I did this basically in a day. 

How do you ya'll feel about smaller flat animations like this? I think they're fun, even if they lack the sheen of something more finished and polished.

WIP - Akna

This year, I wanted to steer Lilith in a more size-y direction? Maybe less outright smut. Conversely, Akna is going the other way. Towards total debauchery. Here's a preview of what I've been working on with her. 

Warning. This one is saucy.

WIP - Muscle Lilith

I've had some real brainworms recently for workout stuff. Mainly buff girls. 

So I started animating Lilith working out and...never stopped. It's a lot of fun drawing her super jacked, and also struggling. I haven't thought about it much, but she's been all about minimum effort for a long time. So it's fun to change that.

Hoping to turn this into a looping music video. Just a few shots with some sound design.

WIP - Rampage

So here's something I've been working on for the past week. It's a bit on the rough side, but I wanted to do an animation that was more than a series of loops. So here's the first few shots of a bigger, longer animation I hope to finish.

February '24 Update - Let's Kick This Sucker Off.

Alright, we're doing this. This is really happening.

If you're reading this, then welcome to my Patreon. I've been entertaining the idea of doing one of these for a while, but I didn't think I'd nut up and actually pull the trigger on it. So here we are.

So for those of you who opted in, thank you so much! I promise not to disappoint you. My plan was to set this as a tip jar, but try and fulfill at least one animation a month in addition to my usu...
