W.I.P #74 - Meowskulls X Highwire (plus some WIP shots for the Shiba/Death joke animation)

hey hey it's me again. it's been pretty busy over the last few days, but I've been hard at work. pretty wordy post up ahead (just because i feel extra verbose today), so i underlined the important bits for those of you who understandably don't feel like reading an essay

anyways, i finally managed to set aside some time to get a little preview shot for the meowskulls animation worked on. due to how the pose is set up, I've opted to make the ratio vertical this time (to minimize empt...

HQ Release - Bread/Bred (No Sound Yet)

as is the running theme with most renders as of late, it took a bit longer than i expected (it did not necessarily help that i was up till 5 getting it prepared to render - but i digress)
anyways, this one was fun to do! it was a nice chance to focus more on character expression and i learned quite a bit along the way :] the voice acting will be done by ShibaShibs (she'll be voicing both Shiba and Death - she's got RANGE), so you can expect to see that fairly soon
as always, the joke ve...

W.I.P #73 (Animated) - Shiba x Death

hey, my bad for not posting this last night. i just got super tired out of nowhere and didn't wanna half-ass things. name is yet to be figured out, but the animation is basically done so that's epic. all that remains now is getting the lighting finalized, fleshing out the background scene, and tweaking the physics (which are, for the most part, already set up - just not applied at the moment). i do need to animate another second or two for the ending/pullout - but that won't take long.

Meowskulls Follow-Up Poll Results

hey, almost slipped my mind that the follow-up poll was finishing today, but here i am - and here are the results:

in the main poll, rear-facing dominant wins with front-facing submissive coming up in second
as i mentioned, i might be able to pull off animating both the winner and runner-up - it just heavily depends on how easy the models are to work with (meowskulls mainly, given...

Meowskulls Follow-Up Poll (CLOSES 11/19 @ 5PM EST)

EDIT: the character pairing sub-poll has closed (idk how to manually close it so i just removed the link from this post)

i would've included some visual references for what each of these is specifically, but hopefully, it should be fairly clear :] anyways, just choose the one you like the most and check out the google form to submit your vote for the pairing.

as usual, voting weight is applied for this (though not the google forms poll, since i cant really link the tier data with ...

W.I.P #71 (Animated) - Shiba X Death

still haven't figured out a better name for this but boy have I made some progress >:]]] (there's a few seconds of animation that i left out of this since it was in need of touching up, nothing major, just needed a bit more "oomph")

pretty happy with how this one's looking though. i'm taking a little more time to work on the facial expressions for it since there's two characters fully on screen this time around rather than john cock in his headless glory. i'm also trying out some mor...

Character Poll #5 Results

internet's finally back up, so here's the results for the poll

meowskulls fans have gotten their victory royale, the cat will be getting animated, and i will be awaiting my call from tim sweeney offering turbocorp a substantial share in epic's stock (any minute now).

thanks to everyone who participated in this poll! surprised it was such a drastic difference in results, though it always ...

Internet Troubles (just for tonight, probably)

writing this from my phone because for whatever reason my internet has decided it wants to be a little shithead and not work (and go figure, verizon is asleep at the wheel, so its likely that im just gonna have to wait till tomorrow).

apologies, I was pretty much just about to upload the animated WIP for the shiba animation and calculate the poll results - but that may have to wait till tomorrow (unless the wifi just starts working again out of nowhere).

probably not gonna be mu...

HQ Render (+Alts) - 2B

just a quick render of a character i'd been looking forward to getting a chance to work with
honestly i've got a pretty big backlog for characters to do renders & animations of, so I might try to get a handful of renders done as I take breaks on the current project I'm doing (unless I just dial in super hard like I did with the last one lmao). that being said though, animation for that has been going relatively smoothly, though i will say it is still pretty early in since i've been hel...

W.I.P #71 - Shiba X Death

okay i definitely need to come up with a better title for this one before it's done because shiba x death just sounds really dark in hindsight. anyways, here's the first look at what I'll be doing before the poll animation :] goes without saying but the background is still to-be-decided upon, so for now it's just that very dark red as a placeholder
not too much to say about it at the moment, still heavily WIP - but I'm hoping to get started on animating it today. i should be able to get an...

CHARACTER POLL #5 - (CLOSES 11/15 @6:00 PM EST)

 
been a minute since I've done one of these

there's loads of characters i want to animate with - and because i'm indecisive as ever - i felt like now's a better time than any to give you guys a say in what you'd like me to see me work on most.

i've ended up offering 4 options this time around which might make things a bit more interesting. do they have anything remotely in common (asi...

HQ Release (With Sound) - Cerberussy

HEY GUYS SURPRISE THE SOUND IS DONE >:] with everything put together, i do gotta say that this might be one of my favorite projects so far.

i won't ramble on too much this time, since tonight i'm gonna get started on (and hopefully finish) the preview - I've yet to record any of the voice lines for it, but I should be able to get it done by tomorrow morning if it doesn't end up being too long/complicated. after that, i'll get the alt for this done and start my work on the next thing ...

HQ Release - Cerberus (No Sound Yet)

after a whole 17+ hours of nonstop rendering, i've finally got this one ready to post. easily my longest animation so far (and honestly, might be one of my personal favorites - especially given how relatively quickly I was able to get it finished). as I mentioned in the previous post, it'll be voice acted, so the sound may take a little bit of time to cook.

so in the meantime, I'm gonna give myself a quick breather before starting my work on the preview version followed by...

HQ Release (With SFX) - Elias

hitting you all with a devious double release today (the rendered cerberus animation will be posted shortly once it finishes rendering - currently like 96% finished, though the sound for that is gonna take a little more time to do since it'll be voice acted)

but yeah, the sound for this has been finished and i'd say it was absolutely worth the wait! hopefully you guys enjoy the addition - big thanks to Roro for his work on this project :]

i'll be back within the next hour or two t...

W.I.P #70 (Animated) - Cerberus

since it will more than likely take quite a while to render this in full, i figure there's no harm in sharing my progress with you guys in the meantime (don't mind the lack of lighting and the weird reflections on the ceiling, that's just because it's only in the material preview mode rather than the rendered preview).

but in summary - the climax bit's finished, the majority of the expression work is done, background's all set - so once i make a few finishing touches, it'...

W.I.P #69 (Animated) - Cerberus

well this is officially my longest animation so far (we've passed the one minute-mark, folks - and i've still got the ending to do). of course, there's some stuff that needs to be done for the second half before I can move onto the ending (mainly blinking, some expression work, and a few other adjustments), but I'm making some GOOD progress.

i would like to have it loop, though depending on how i end it (and how easily i can transition back to the ori...

W.I.P #68 (Animated) - Cerberus

howdy. took me a little extra time to get this ready since I was having some trouble pacing the animation right - but so far I'm pretty pleased with it! i've got the second half to do still, though it's nothing I haven't done before, so I shouldn't have any trouble doing that.

i did end up opting to do a different pose for the second part because i wanted to get some practice with transitions between poses rather than just cutting to a different one. thankfully, i expect the newer ...

W.I.P #67 - Cerberus

hey hey, sorry i kinda dipped for a few days (and for posting this at 3AM - I was expecting to have these ready at like 4 hours sooner, but ended up redoing one of the poses completely), i was hitting a wall in terms of getting any solid concepts for a WIP to share (there is one other project i have a concept for, but i'm holding off on sharing anything for that one till i get an OK from the creator of the character being featured in it)

but now i'm back and i've got a whopping FOUR pre...

HQ Release - Elias (No Sound Yet)

HEAR YE HEAR YE THE ANIMATION IS DONE (just not the sound yet, sorry)

the sound for this one might take a liittle bit of extra time to cook (both for the animation and preview version - as both require some outside VA work), so there might be a bit of a gap between this release and the preview coming out (basically, you guys are getting extra early access). that being said though, hopefully you guys still enjoy it! let me know in the comments if there are any issues with the qu...

W.I.P #66 (Animated) - Elias

hey, here's my current progress with the elias project! although i'd planned to get a render done on the side, I honestly just ended up locking in on this pretty hard and got the bulk of the animation done. so far i would say i'm pretty happy with how things look - all that's really left at the moment is some expression work, polish, the ending, and a secondary view (most likely a side view, potentially also a third view for a POV shot but only if the animation looks alright from that angle)....

W.I.P #65 - Elias

howdy
i needed a few days to chill after the last thing, but im alive and breathing once again. on that note, here's a wip shot for the next animation featuring RoroBoros' character, Elias (who i'd been wanting to make an animation of for a while now).

i've yet to really get into the meat of things, mainly just setting up stuff like the lighting and background since i can now afford to do that without settin...

HQ Release - Backshots Team Leader

(UPDATE: AUDIO HAS BEEN FINISHED the files should all be updated, but don't hesitate to let me know if there are any that still don't have sound and i'll fix it right away)

hey guys, here's the HQ upload for the raven team leader animation :] and with the new hardware, i can confidently say we're back to 4k uploads (in the cycles rendering engine, no less) - though of course, there's still lower quality versions available...

HQ SFX Release - Titanium

W.I.P #64 (Animated) - Raven Team Leader

hey party people. here's the first animated preview for the upcoming raven team leader animation. work's going nicely so far and i'm hoping to get started on the next half tomorrow (which will either be a different position or camera angle depending on how easily/well i can get that done - I've got some ideas).

as this started as a render, the bg and lighting is already set up, so that's always nice. physics didn't give me too many issues this time since i can actually preview them wit...

Mini-Poll Results

(plus the actual 6k raven team leader image because my goofy ass didnt realize that attaching an image to the description compressed the hell out of it - gonna throw it in the attachments too just in case)

my nap has concluded later than anticipated, results are in, and the people have spoken; john cock will remain.

appreciate everyon...

very quick poll regarding the next animation

howdy. so after some testing and deliberation, i've decided that im gonna hold off on animating the scp 1471 threeway thing for just a lil bit (i would like to animate it soon - but since it's a LOT of moving parts, i think i would like to work on something that would not be as labor intensive first for the sake of not burning myself out. that being said, i may do a little work for it on the side whenever im taking breaks)

what i'll be animating instead, however, is t...
