(WIP) [ANIMATION] PIX "Key Art"

H'Okay, THIS one is like, my White Whale. I got asked to do this like, right when I started, by the voice actress Pixie Willow. I'm sure if you dig through all my old terrible work you'd find the WIP post for the first version. Seriously, my old work is fucking awful, it gives me a fight-or-flight response. Thank you all for being nice to me back then, because I would've spat on myself. 

Anyways, the big concern with this one is the length. It'll be a long one. Well, long for me. I...

Tech wizards, I need your help

Or anyone who knows, really.

Some of my animations are stupidly big. I uh, don't really know what makes some bigger than others. Like, one Frankie one was like 20 MBs a file. It makes my whole page slow as shit. Why is it so big? I'd have to consult our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because I have absolutely no clue.

I tried everything to fix this, which was trying to make the canvas dimensions smaller, which didn't really work, and then also trying to make the canvas dim...

[ANIMATION] SLG_03 Version 01 EXCL

Well, I couldn't figure out how to make them smaller. I need to hire a tech goblin to do all this stuff for me, I'

[ANIMATION] SLG_03 Version 01

Hey presto, it's done.

And that's that on this one. I'm too tired to think of anything snarky to say. Thanks for your patience on this one. I know I had other stuff planned for this one, and I'll get to that later. It took me way too long for what it is, and I would rather get started on smaller ones and ones I've promised people I would make. 

Also, these stupid things are big, I need to figure out how to make them smaller, or do a file sharing site thing. Someone recommende...

(WIP) [ANIMATION] SLG_03 Version 01 "Lineart"

Hey, look at that. It's done. Sometimes I really impress myself with the fact that I actually can do things, most of the time I'm just a lazy piece of shit.

Here's a pro tip from a professional gamer such as myself: Doing lineart for twenty total hours over the span of two days will seriously fuck your shoulder up. But that's suffering I do for all of you. Doesn't that just make you appreciate my sacrifice? Putting myself in situations no one asked me to put myself in,...

(WIP) [ANIMATION] SLG_03 Version 01 "Pencils"

Lord almighty, is this one ever taking me a while. And it's just one part of it. It's been a great learning experience though, teaching me that everything I have been doing has been WRONG. Look at the crab, and look at Fio and Eri. Can you see the subtle differences in art style? That's because this one has taken me so fucking long that my art has changed. What a nightmare. But, that's why I'm taking responsibility and working to improve my process and my weaknesses. No one second lo...

[ANIMATION] SAN EXCL

It really felt illegal to do a gif from Spongebob's POV. But, I talked to my lawyer, who then assured me it was technically legal, but then he spat in my face and told me that I make him sick, and to get the hell out of his office. I'm in the clear, boys!

[ANIMATION] SAN

Whaddup players?

I have something cursed and sinful for you. I don't know if anyone will even like it, but it sure made me laugh.

Sorry I've been gone a while. I have been working hard, but not smart. Recently I decided to stop being a dumbass and really take a look at my process. I was wasting an astronomical amount of time. A friend showed me this process video, where a real animator showed all the steps they took to make their whatever, and I tried to learn from it. And wouldn'...

[ANIMATION] GTH_02 EXCL

Yes, maybe it doesn't make sense that she's covered in cum and is now bouncing. But, last time I refused to put cum on that Shygal animation I did, someone sent me an email with a picture of my home and the caption "Strike one." So I've learned my lesson! If the cum doesn't make sense, just like... imagine that she found a big container of cinnamon roll icing and messily drank it all, and she's so stoked by that she starts... bouncing her boobs or whatever. I don't know. But, that's the fun p...

[ANIMATION] GTH_02

Feed, my children, feeeed.

Bet you thought I was gonna say "Sorry buds, I'm too depressed, I won't charge you," huh? Don't worry, there's still time for that. 

Sorry that it's been a little while. I've been hard at work. That accursed Metal Slug gif is taking the life out of me, I've put a disgusting amount of time into it.

A friend recently showed me a gif of a bounce loop, and said to me "I bet you could do something like that in a day." I was curious, so I t...

PAIN

PAIN AND TORMENT

This one has been hard. I hate crabs now.

I'm gonna stop doing this partial updating shite, the next update will be all of the pencils. God have mercy on my soul.

(WIP) [ANIMATION] SLG_03 "Gesture for Version 02"

KYDE is getting back into his STRYDE. 

This one has been a doozy, but it's been good to tackle a complicated project with my brand-spankin' new mind. Though, this one feels extra sinful, I'll have to kneel on rice for far longer than usual for penance. I imagine I'll have a lot to explain about this one to St. Peter at those pearly gates.

Yes, before you ask, his mighty crustacean thrusts ARE timed to Crab Rave. It's pretty cursed. But, it has made this one a timing ...

(WIP) [ANIMATION] SLG_03 "Keyframe For Real This Time"

Fuck's sake, finally. Thar she blows. The Keyframes. 

Finally got my shit together and got this done. As you can see, there are some truly funky poses going on here. This one was very daunting, and I definitely let myself get psyched out. But, this bitch is done, so now I can finally fucking animate it. You know, the thing y'all are donating your hard earned cash for me to do. 

This one has been a proportion and perspective nightmare. Not only did I have to figure out ho...

[COMIC] JKA

A friend challenged me last year to make one of these Jucika comics. So I finally got around to it. One less broken promise! Anyways, the fool shouldn't have challenged me, everyone knows I never lose. That's why I still have my virginity. I'm not supposed to publicly post it yet, but I'll post it here. He and I are gonna post at the same time. When that happens, y'all commission him to draw some really weird shit. It'll be hilarious.

I hope it makes sense. I don't think people...

(WIP) [ANIMATION] SLG_03 "Background"

Fuckin' holidays. Goddamn. Did you guys have a nice holiday season? I actually did, nobody died this time around.

Sorry, I've been pretty busy all month. As per usual, y'all won't be charged tomorrow. Here's a quick update, an animated background. Ain't it neat?? I just ripped the sprites from the game itself, layered them, animated them, the works. It was a pain in the ass, but I think it looks cool. It also felt nice to put some effort into a background for once instead of yoinking so...

(WIP) [ANIMATION] SLG_03 "Keyframe" Sort Of Done

Ack. Very much lost track of time.

First off, I won't be charging in a few days, of course. Don't expect to pay a dime for a while, honestly. I'm easing myself back into all this, properly this time, and I'll only be charging you all once I'm completely comfortable with my work output. 

Here's like, one half of this keyframe. I'm gonna do what I did with the last Metal Slug animation and have them swapped. This version was easy enough to pose, but the other version w...

(WIP) [ANIMATION] SLG_03 "KEY ART"

The other night, I was tossing and turning in bed, haunted by the all-too familiar sound of snipping claws, when suddenly I heard a knock at my bedroom door. I grabbed the claw hammer I usually use to kill burglars with, and I opened my door, when lo! Standing before me was Jesus Christ, King of Kings!

"Oh my God!" I said, dropping my blood-stained claw hammer, "It's... well, my God!"

Jes...

(WIP) [ANIMATION] HLW "KEY ART"

Wassup, homies?

How have y'all been? Sorry about uh, once again disappearing. No shit, I was going through the fourth death of the last 17 months. Man, I wish I was kidding. I sound like the guy with glass bones and paper skin from Spongebob. So much death. It's like, pre-Industrial Revolution levels of death. But! This one was a bit of a relief, as fucked as it sounds. Basically, I've been helping care for someone with dementia for the entirety of this year, which is why I've been so w...

No Charge coming up

Obviously.

Sorry, things are still really shitty. Y'all won't be charged on the 1st since I haven't been able to do shit this month.

[STATIC] (OC) KYM EXCL

I can't think of anything to write here.

[STATIC] (OC) KYM

'Sup players.

Sorry, I got roped into some horseshit. But, this time, instead of spiraling out of control and crashing like a burning zeppelin like I usually do, I actually got a grip for once in my life.

Anyways, I am animating, but I thought I'd whip out something "relatively" quickly so I'm not just radio silent. Again.

I hope you guys like this character. She's fun to draw. The more crooked I made her mouth, the more I liked it.

Stay tuned for more shit. 2022-09-09 23:00:12 +0000 UTC View Post

[STATIC] LNA

"Now listen mom, I know you just found 847 explicit images of Loona on my phone, and just caught me drawing a lewd picture of her. But I can assure you, this is all completely healthy and normal, so let's just put those pliers down." 

[STATIC] LNA

Just a quick character study. With this one I tried to improve on my posing, tried to improve how I draw hair, tried to improve the form and construction of the waist, and tried to improve overall proportions. Things I'd like to learn are proper backgrounds and shadowing. Holy shit I can't do either. I'm enjoying doing a static piece between animations. It's a kind of nice palate cleanser in that I can finish something in a few hours, while also making me feel lame that I finished something t...

[ANIMATION] FOS_03 Collector's Edition EXCL

I hope this doesn't crash the entirety of Patreon. 

[ANIMATION] FOS_03 Collector's Edition

KYDE from the future update: Here's the link to these. I like, kept forgetting to put this here. Took like three separate reminders. Whoopsie! Teehee! Alright, take it away, KYDE from the past.

Comes with a steelbook case.

THIS ISN'T THE BIG THING I WAS TALKING ABOUT. That's still looming in the distance.

Someone said to me that I should ma...

[ANIMATION] DDR EXCL

Damn, I like this girl. Too bad she's Lebronjames and only likes other girls :(

[ANIMATION] DDR

Sorry, meant to finish it last night, but I passed out. Dudes, back pain is no joke. I was feeling it up in my head. 

IMPORTANT! I found a chair! A couple of you were also talking about chair issues. I caved and bought this big monstrosity. It's fugly and expensive, but holy shit it's great:

(WIP) [ANIMATION] DDR "Lineart"

Holy smokes. Nearly there.

Yo my chair fucking sucks. I went on a big stupid adventure to find a new one, but like, the industry standard for office chairs is "horrifically uncomfortable." And gamer chairs. I had hope for them. It was like sitting on wood with cheap fake leather stretched over it. What the fuck?

Anyways, it's almost done. I'm going the distance and putting it to rest tonight.

(WIP) [ANIMATION] DDR "Pencils"

Well, that's the bulk of it done.

My fucking back hurts.

Stay tuned for further updates.

(WIP) [ANIMATION] DDR "Gesture"

Here's the Gesture. Simple simple. I tried to give the sweater some elasticity and get caught on her thiccness.

I've been meaning to say (or maybe I've already said it) that the Gesture should be done fast and loose. Think about... doing a paper for school or something. You just rush to get the first draft done, and gradually revise and revise it. It shouldn't take you a really long time. What I do is like, a first pass animation that just hits the beats. Here it is:
