♦ Sketchpages I ♦

Yooo I've been sick HAHA, I have no idea what happened, gotten a random temperature for no apparent reason, so I was sadly not able to work too much on Rick things other than writing. Thus, I'm sharing a little sketchpage I did about a year or so ago <3

I think I'm getting better, so I'm probably going to edit that audio I've commissioned soon for the next reel! I'm VERY excited about that one and I have a bunch more origigi audios stocked up, so I hope you guys will love it too :D<...

♦ Sleeping Angel ♦

EYY I have another speedpaint for you!!

I'm looking to post all the old speedpaints I've collected over time so we have a little archive of how some of these works came to be. I think this was the first one I ever recorded, so I sadly only have a sped up version, but longer versions of other vids will be coming for my fellow Grimport Residents in the future!

I still love the idea behind this a lot <3 execution could have been better, and you can see how much issues I've had wi...

♦ Liar - Double Illustration WiP ♦

Work in progress of a new double piece I'm working on for these two fellas <3 They are so ethereal to me, you have no idea, I could draw them for the rest of my life (probably will) and never get bored

This is a fancy illustration idea I've had in my head for weeks now, so I decided to take a little break from the whole thing around figuring out the merch and animating to get this out and ughh these may be some of my favorite things I've done in a while

I always talk about how ...

♦ We Were Born to Die - Full Linework Animation ♦

So last time I've shared a few prior steps, sketches, backgrounds, and the keyframes. This time I'm sharing the full linework animation!

You'll notice the backgrounds aren't perfectly aligned, and here we still don't have all the camera movements/focus pulls and random additional elements like that. Specifically for camera movements, I opted out of doing them in Tv Paint this time just because of how unfriendly their cameras can be haha, they aren't exactly made to move more than once ...

♦ Rick and his crows - Resident Tier Illustration for Mentions ♦

I wanted to do something simple to put at the end of my posts for the Resident tier membership mentions but I got carried away, so now we have a whole illustration haha

Started it yesterday, finished today :D This one will go public for both paid and free Patreon members when I post it online next week, but paid members get early access ♥

♦ Roses and Birds Sticker Progress + Some Lore♦

Some of the stickers I've been working on over the past week ♥ There's a bunch more merch I did over the past week, some is silly, some is more symbolic and serious like this, but I really, really do like this black and white + red style a lot, so I might do more of these types of pieces in the future. I'm likely gonna research on demand printing over the next week or so and hopefully I figure out the whole shop situation soon :D

♦ We were born to die ♦ Sketch | Backgrounds | Linework + lore ♦

As promised in the weekend stories, here is a little WiP of the Rick/Misha animation I've worked on recently ♥ I filmed the entire process for this one, so there will be a much longer process video coming for the Grimport Residents before I post the finished vid online!

✦•····•✦•···•✦

I haven't talked at length about Misha online yet, mostly because he's kind of essential for the end of The Kostrov Traces, where this scene takes place. It's pro...

♦ Skate Attack ♦ Shot 4 ♦ Animation Breakdown ♦

Alright, here we are, welcome to the animation rambling and a very short introduction to our various process breakdowns!! In the future, I'm planning to film these horizontally, and they will be much longer and much more detailed than this, focused on full animations, not necessarily just one shot.

✦ BACKGROUNDS ✦

Whenever I start an animation, I always choose or make a sound first and go through where I want the shots to...

♦ Skate Attack ♦ Animation Stages Renders ♦

Renders of all stages taken to create our latest animation featuring Rick tormenting the poor postmen of Willow Estates (as per usual 🙄)

✦•····•✦•···•✦

The main programs used to create these animations are Clip Studio Paint (for the background painting), TV Paint Animation (main animation program), and Adobe After Effects (for final VHS effects and some basic compositing).

For anyone looking for alternatives, my advice would be to invest...

♦ Dawn ♦ Short Speedpaint ♦

FJ and Rick in their peaceful phase of life ♥ 

✦•····•✦•···•✦

This is a speedpaint from the piece I did a while ago that I'm still extremely fond of to this day! I really gotta do more atmospheric illustrations like these in the future, they are so relaxing to draw aah

♦ Dawn ♦ Long Speedpaint ♦

A longer speedpaint of the Dawn work from the Fiasco Elite days!

✦•····•✦•···•✦

I always feel like a bunch of details get lost in fast speedpaints, especially when I wanna look back on how I did a certain thing, so I always save these long vids just in case and thought - heck, maybe some of you can get some use from them too haha

I have kind of always struggled not enjoying the entire process of art creation, which severely skewed h...

♦ ♥ My favorite boys ♥ ♦

I mean we gotta start with my comfort people before we dive into anything else haha ♥

✦•····•✦•···•✦

I think everyone who reads my post descriptions on other socials knows Rick and FJ had a rough journey by now, and they certainly hadn't always been on friendly terms, but they somehow always found an oddly loving way to make each other feel safe. Rick's existence as an ace man who really enjoyed the idea of a tight, emo...

♦ WELCOME GRIMPORTERS ♦

Hello my dear broskis!! ♥

Welcome to the official Patreon of the Grimport Misfits project! I've had such a blast engaging with everyone over the past two years and could not be more grateful for the endless support and love I have received. You've genuinely changed my life in so many ways and provided me with opportunities I couldn't even dream of a few years ago, and I'll never stop thanking you for all of it!!

Due to many requests and a need for a budget when it comes to this ...
