Light of Shadows

Video Tests (linked) & Simplified Animation Size chart.

I think I may have forgotten to upload videos here so I figured I would do it now while I'm thinking about it. 

Since I'm working in 1080p for video now (which has just been better on my pc and on me) What I'm thinking about doing is making extra scenes for supporters in sizes that are larger than what I usually put out (marked HR & OR) or some other kind of extra content like "what if" scenarios like alternate endings, popping, unedited scenes that had to be changed to stay on...

Bandigalz Carnival Animation - Youtube & 4k

UPDATE: the Mega Link to the 4K 60FPS should be working now: https://mega.nz/file/nKg22LxS#AFFDSFE-674rw4pSMI5edBjTwI809JfxC-jI68l0v5U

Tl:dr - file big, figuring out stuff, just woke up, tired and probably rambling but here we go!

Long Tired Version

So i just woke up, the 4k version took all night to render, but unfortunately it's too large to upload to patreon. so this is what I'm going to do. ...

Bandigalz Carnival - Coco Pin up

Dr. Robotnik's Corpulent Cream Machine

Since this was just a learning experiment, the original video is 1080P, done in a quick lined & flats style (1080*1920). instead of the usual 2160P. At least it's not the weird 576P I had to export it to in order to get it to run in youtube shorts like I wanted. (576*1024. I didn't even know that was 16:9 or was still in use.  Sure a heck wasn't going to use 608*1080 like the guide wanted me to)

Wish I knew enough unity to make a Creamy Puyo Puyo / Mean bean Machine clone. cent...

Big N' Round - Neapolitan Coco Pack

(Update: Trimmed the Alt-Alpha Channel to the Correct Dimensions)

Hot day today. Moved from after effects to Da Vinci Studio for editing recordings. it it's exactly the same but I managed to add a simple fade out to the time-lapse. Wanted to keep it simple today, had health stuff to deal with but looking forward to this month being the end of the heavy stuff. 

But I really like the flat style and enjoyed working on this so I'll defiantly give heavy bottoms & a more toony/...

Deceptively hard

Since old cartoons where on the brain, i thought i'd just draw some "heavy bottom" characters thinking it'd be the same as how I usually do inflation. IT WAS NOT. At first at least.

When you train your brain to break down figures a certain way and mesure everything out in your head, it get's really hard to just... ignore that? Eventually I had to think "I'm drawing a pear, NOT a humanoid and none of the body ratios matter. imagine a water balloon that's being pinched" to get the shape I...

AoSTH - Inspired fever dream

Same concept, two different comics that are loosely related. Something about Amy over throwing robotnik in another AU, probably referencing the smashed series, and a SFW sonic that has swapped places with the native one having to get involved in their place?

IDK, clearly burning the candle at both ends. I may paint the sally picture though.

BURSTING - Rouge The Bat, Lost Slither Sketch

I probably won't do this comic in full as it was more of just a layout test but figured i'd share it for those who my want to see the concept. As for the ironmouse smash or pass ref, i doubt i'll do that one either. Just kinda wipped it up while watching their pokemon smash or pass vod and wasn't sure if a shared it. added it since bursting was implied in the original. 

While working on commissions I'm looking through old files and trying to get pc back in order. some ideas like th...

Audio Sync Test - Scrapped Rouge

It's the little animations that build up to big ones. I'm adamantly nervous about trying to learn da Vinci Studio over the weekend as my only real experience with video outside of animation has been in adobe after effects. But the compositing and audio tools look SUPER helpful so while I'm learning that and working on past commissions I hope this can tide people over for a bit. I doubt any of interest will be made while I'm learning but if there is, I'll share it as well.

Animation - Suspended Slime Inflation + Alt Ending Bonus

These took forever to render in full. No Sound this time due to just not having the library of resources and due to being drained, BUT I'll be looking into that in the future. Don't get your hopes up though, I'm partial to sound resource and obscure video game audio, as that tends to cause the least issues on YouTube and other platforms.  But I'll be doing some digging for some nice audio next weekend for future projects. For now, back to the weekly grind.

Amy Rose - Suspended Inflation Pin Ups

Inflation set featuring Short Stack Rose. I was originally going to do office attire like the other other future pin ups but couldn't get the vest to animate correctly so redid her top from scratch. fortunately the dress was easier to manipulate in moho studio then the "Boss Bitch" attire i typically draw her with. I'll have to revisit the concept after this work week, as i'd like to animate folks wearing dress suits and more complex clothing. As for the animation, I don't know when it's goin...

Sally Acorn - Stream Brb Animation Test

Hope life stuff calms down soon, I will be focusing on health stuff a little bit longer so I appreciate the patience from everyone. Please stay safe out there and do what you can to be happy and keep hope alive.

Motion Comic Animation Test

Learned a lot, mostly technical stuff & I got to try a lot of the new skills I've been working on for concept stuff, especially rough speed painting, Next time I'd like to take my time now that I know I can do everything I wanted to do in the software that I have. Defiantly going to start breaking projects apart instead of brute forcing my way through them.

I'm tired and in pain but I was filled with determination today 'cause I wanted to upload something nice to hold folks over sin...

Draft Commission Sheet for Fall 2022 (NOT OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS!)

Those that have been following me know I've been dealing with health issues but recently I've been getting a lot of questions about reopening commissions so I was working on a new booklet for what feels like ages. But since a few folks kept asking I took some days to Finish putting a new commission guide together. Now that it's in a somewhat presentable state I figured I'd share it here for those that'd like a peek at it. I would post publicly but I don't want people to think I'm back at 100 ...

Job Failed - Carmelita Montoya Fox

Yea, I ended up pushing through and finishing the animation loop before going to bed but at the time of writing this it should be about 8 or so, so i'll be sure to get some sleep now.

Job Failed - Animation Preview

Been chipping away at the rig for a while but accidently stayed up until the morning setting up the animation. just a simple one, was seeing how I can meld the parts a little better when drawing it in csp, that way I'm not having to remake models over and over again.

If this turns out well, the the next thing will be something with multiple scenes, like a visual novel animation or motion comic. Think stuff similar to drunk oak on YouTube. (Now at I think about it, I hope I don't LOOSE m...

Sally Acorn - Pixiv 1K

Reached 1K on Pixiv & wanted to say thanks to everyone like I did on FA a while back. But it's 3am so I'm officially burnt out for the night. So everyone please enjoy, take care of your selves & each other... Oh, and drink some water & get some sleep. :)

Bandigalz Test Cover

A draft Cover with a Coco that I had forgot to upload. It still needs to be reworked, but I think bandigalz should have it's own cover vs having the 3BS cover I planned for generic comic. Included the time lapse as well, though it's messy as I didn't really have a plan.

A few more Speed Paintings

I didn't want to break the size limit on uploads, so the full images are in the attached zip files with their time-lapse videos. 

I think practicing on going fast has increased my confidence with brushwork and reduced my habit of redoing things over and over again. Even with the Brimming with slime one, where I was more careful about the linework, I found that I was moving faster and thinking more effectively, so hopefully this reflects in my future works and commissions.

I a...

Speed Paintings - 2022-05-20

Late Night WIP

Was unable to sleep, so touched up some sketches, focusing on page layout but may paint them later. 

Bandigalz - Finalizing Designs Part 2

Liz mostly stayed the same but I made her dress a single piece instead of a skirt with top, with a dress jacket from before. i kept the dress jacket and everything else.

Ami has the most changes, as I wanted her to have more of a brawler feel (as she's the bandi-brawler) so i gave her some protective gear like I did tawna, taking from football as I was inspired by tiny tiger, as well as some fighting games.

Lastly, Isabella's design with from battle cleric to a more relaxed sunday...

Mojo Supplements, Furry Test Trials

Patreon Image Pack 2022-05-07

The Speed Paintings are included as well as I had forgot to upload them here. 

Rouge - Cyber "X"

Was warned about my wording on patreon so I'll go with Cyber X for the title. Used the lock screen as the preview for the same reasoning.

Bandigalz - Finalizing Designs

TL:DR - Minor design changes, bandigalz becoming finalized, still cookin' in oven though, Story & Character personalities have been decided and new puns for the level names have been made. will update when I have something more solid. oh and 1HU (head unit) is 25cm.

The Full Brain Dump:

Tweaked some sizes with Tawna so she'd be standing at 175cm & Changed some minor gear details. Made Megumi a little more Azula like since her Gem will be the gem of Wrath, Change...

POPPING - Game Over Coco Animation

WARNING! contains implied exploding bandicoots!

This was done as a sound test in my older animation program. I think going forward, what I'll do (since the program lacks good audio editing, I can only turn the sound on and off and can't move sound timing after it's been placed) is animate everything to the timing of the audio and then and export a silent video,. Then I'll compile everything in something like Davinci Resolve or another program that's better suited for me...

Toxic Titty - Isabella Game Over Screen Image Set

3BS Hazmat Series - File 000 - Part 1

I had to split up the original Zip as it was too large to upload as one file. Since half if it was just the Original JPGs of the Finished PDF, I decided to simply upload the PDF with the Bonus Content.
