Hello, salutations, greetings, etc. I'm Jasper, or Kuiper, or Shark, or Guilty, if ya nasty (but seriously, Jasper is fine). I'm 18, I like deer, I draw and animate and other such things. I'm not particularly active but occasionally I pop up here or on YouTube or something; when I post art, I usually put it over on my artblog @ kuiperdeer. I have a number of projects in the works and whatnot, which are mostly furry shit.
I'm queer in many senses of the word, a choral singer, an extremely mediocre pianist, a composer, an animator, a digital and traditional artist, a strange little freak, etc etc. I like Stuff, an expansive category which includes weird little animals and cosmic horror and internet comics.
Commission prices and TOS can be found at this link.
Under the cut is a non-exhaustive list of my projects --
Icehouse, which is my weird little furry novella about the end of the world. You can read it on the internet at This Website.
Utopia Mechanism, the comic I started in mid-2022, which has been on hiatus for like a year...
About that -- no promises at the moment, because I've been super busy and because everything is early in conception, but at this point I plan on reworking the comic quite a bit, mostly because I plotted most of it out when I was, like, fourteen, and it's frankly not that good.
Most likely, what it'll turn into will be pretty different from what it is right now (and I have no plans to take down the old stuff, so if you want to read that go ahead... if people reach out, as well, I'll probably be willing to explain the broad strokes of my old machinations).
This was supposed to be a list. Oops.
I have some Magnus Archives OCs with stuff written out on Ao3, under the same name I use here. It's all from like two years ago, but I think they're neat.
A whole lot of my miscellaneous stuff is contained or linked on Artfight or Toyhouse, so feel free to also check those out.
It's been just over a year since Deltarune chapters 3 & 4 released! I did the 3D work, which mostly means Tenna 📺 I figured it's been long enough to share some "behind the scenes" stuff, starting with a look at the Maya file for his static poses...
I'd individually render the poses to get that early 3D shine ✨ Here's some of them at their original resolutions! I would work from text descriptions from Toby, and sometimes there'd be a Paint sketch to help out. Gigi drew the concept that I modeled from and some poses too!
I had a lot of fun pushing myself to match the dynamic poses Toby had in mind for Tenna - making him so crazy and expressive was something I couldn't have done without his prompts. He'd draw the faces on afterward too, which really brought Tenna to life!
(lots more after the Read More cut...!)
Here are some of the Paint sketches Toby drew to help me with specific Tenna poses! I love seeing his drawings LOL, genuinely really good and evocative 👍
There was a time when I was struggling to capture what he wanted for these specific Tenna poses… Until Toby acted them out himself, and I thought, "Ah, it's like that. I understand." and then I was able to make them just how he pictured them.
When looking through the renders and choosing what to share, I laughed at these two… Remember when Tenna had a gun? Remember when he bent over in a very specific way that might remind you of another, different image? No? Maybe you don't…? Well. Don't worry about it.
These ones are cute… Tenna is pretty cute sometimes! Has anyone ever thought this? Actually, before people knew he was going to be a strange 3D sprite the Whole Time, I was worried people wouldn't like the style and it'd sour people's views on him. I'm glad that didn't happen.
Toby thought it would be funny to have Tenna do some really smooth, mocapped animations sometimes - specifically free to use ones that often pop up in other things. An extra funny part to me is how many frames these take up in the game, and how his tails are stuck to his legs…
Speaking of mocap, Toby wanted Tenna to use custom mocap animations as far back as 2016 - Ten(na) years ago! I got an Xbox Kinect at the time and learnt how to set this up, but then never used it. Here's a look at messing with mocaped stuff again in 2022. So Normal.
Don't bother trying to help him here, he's just being dramatic 🙄
I particularly like these poses - I think I improvised most of these just based off the context they get used in… I always liked posing his tie and coat tails as if they were also parts of his body he could move. Which I guess they are?
After I rendered out the individual poses in high quality, I'd force the color palette to be limited to just a few shades and then I'd shrink the result down to pixel sized sprites. Like these! I'd tidy them up a little, but they'd really get improved on at the pixel scale by Clairvoire.
As well as Tenna's sprites, I also worked on his intro "movie"…! Seeing people be completely overloaded by this on first playthroughs would always make me laugh. In game, there's a ton of extra editing done by Everdraed, but my unedited cut looks like this ⬇️
This was the entire storyboard I had to work from, and I'm realizing now that there's the note "put him in car etc" that I never did and actually don't know what it would mean exactly. Working on this had me listen to the accompanying audio many times, but it's good so it's okay.
Here are a bunch of random clips of the Maya project for Tenna's intro movie. This is how movies get made, I think!! Yeah… Just like this.
Say it with him, folks!!
For the 3D Ralsei clip from the intro, Toby really wanted it to look a certain way, and drew more sketches for guiding me with this part than any other. They genuinely helped.
Remember how Toby's original storyboard has the note "covered in slime and shrinks"? That meant I had to learn how to make 3D slime. You can see my tech advancing here.
I'm really happy with how the final Tenna animation at the end of the intro movie turned out! It wouldn't look as good if it wasn't for some 2D animation to reference from SmallBuStudio, so thank you to them for the help! Tenna is cute… Huh, I already said that…?
Phew!! That's a lot of Tenna. I hope it was fun to look through my posts! Oh, one more thing - the Fangamer Mr. Tenna Figurine just straight up uses the 3D model I made, which I think is really funny and cool and nice. Check it out if you want! Thanks for reading!
realizing many people don't know about infinity train creator owen dennis' among us show from years ago, which has been trapped in unreleased limbo all this time and was just dumped on streaming this morning with no advertisement. they don't even know about its weirdly stacked cast

it's actually so crazy how much the simpsons would fucking suck if it didn't have any of the simpsons characters. just a bunch of shots of empty houses and streets for half an hour while nothing happens. that would be so badddd lol
yeah that tends to happen when you remove characters from media. without characters its all just background. i guess movies set in scenic locations would still land as kinda nature docs but even then
Comforting a suicidally depressed Chap-hop rapper: hey man I'm sorry nobody is fucking with your rap Zeppelin. You'll find your cricket bat. [He starts unzipping his pantaloons] hey professor rhymes not now. Don't do that. You want some tea? You probably love tea right?
idk if this is an usamerican thing or not but it always blows my mind as a small european country resident that yall have many names and types of apples???? what do you mean its not just red yellow or green??? why is it so complicated??? who is granny smith????
Wait, wait, y’all aren’t cross-breeding apples and inventing new apples over there? I guess it must be a USA thing! They honestly have tons and tons of distinct flavors, looks, and textures. I fucking love apples.
