Howdy everyone! It's been quite a while since I've posted any fanart. This is my submission for @cotl-yoa and their awesome @the colt zine! This time I drew Shamura closer to their Canon appearance, with red eyes and purple fur. Also, fuzziness has returned!
I look forward to making more submissions for the Colt Zine! So far it's been super awesome, and I love being part of the community!
Oh and of course, HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYONE!
Hey everyone! I'm not dead I promise, just going through my last week of classes! I thought I'd share one of my class projects. I created a kind of experimental animation where I made traditional paintings instead of online vector art. This video is my first time testing this style. I really like how good the paintings turned out after cropping and modifying the colors. But there's still areas where I want to improve, such as using proper meshes for the northern lights, making the camera movement more natural and adding sound so the environment feels more alive.
I'm planning to redo this video after my classes end, but for now please enjoy this first draft!
I've finally gotten Angel to walk, yipee!
This walk was tricky but worth it! To make it, I relied heavily on advice from the book "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams. He had awesome tips on animating walks, including a page on animating dogs! I highly recommend his book if you want to get into animating, because it's SUPER helpful! And I look forward to sharing more animation with Angel!
YAY I'VE FINALLY ANIMATED ANGEL!!
Man, I'm so happy how far I came, this was really difficult to pull off. First, I had to redo Angel's rig again (twice), hence the reason she looks so different from her previous appearance. Then I got the IK Handles working which was fantastic. But the final part of putting a smart bone on her face so she could turn it left to right was way harder than I thought, essentially I had to create multiple layers and kinda shift them around in the action timeline to achieve this effect. I wouldn't say I am finished with this model, there's still way more I'd like to modify to make her better. But still, I'm happy that I'm slowly making progress, and it gives me joy to see that I am learning!
So I thought I'd share a screenshot of something AWESOME I've been working on! This is Angel, an OC of mine! She looks horrifying but she actually is a sweetheart and a very good girl! Wholesome horror as I like to call it, haha! Right now, her rig is not finished. Her bones aren't parented correctly and there isn't any smart bones, meaning that right now, she can only face one direction. Also, I built her in such a way that instead of having just one skeleton to manipulate, she's actually a whole bunch of skeletons grouped together, which makes her super complicated to animate. So long story short, I still have to work on her. But when she's finished, I'm going to animate her doing something and share the result with yall! Probably animate her like an adorable puppy because yes!
Hey yall! I've got some more battle droid pictures! This time it's of beautiful New Zealand!! Yep you read that right, I'm not in Alaska anymore! For the next few months I'll be studying away, so you're probably not going to see as many posts from me 😅. I'm sorry for my radio silence, but I promise I'm okay! I look forward to sharing what I've learned with you all!
LAST POST BEFORE I TAKE MY WOOLHAVEN HIATUS: the 3 commissions I did recently!
Design credit tags in order:
Fairy AU Kallamar belongs to @midluuna / @faithoftheoldfae (was told that specific blog would need a warning for possible mature content/suggestive humor in the future, so here's the warning!)
Leshy belongs to @arctic-animations
Anabel belongs to @vivedotpng
Thank you three so much for giving my commissions a chance and being my first clients, I'd been putting off opening them because it felt intimidating whenever I thought about it. But honestly these were all very pain-free and enjoyable drawing experiences, not even sure what I was so worried about! PLUS even if I can draw non cotl related stuff, I definitely appreciated getting to draw more for this fandom hahaha. Enjoy the art, and I will see everybody once I'm far enough in the DLC to not be afraid of spoilers!!
(ALSO SHOUTOUT TO MIU FOR THE TIP ON MY KO-FI, LFGGGGG 🔥🔥🔥 I appreciate it a lot so I had to make it known somewhere!)
THIS IS SO AMAZING!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!!! LESHY LOOKS AMAZING!!! 😍😍
So today I thought I would draw one of my absolute favorite characters of all time, General Grievous, in one of my absolute favorite art styles of all time, NEON! The design turned out more simplistic than I had planned because, it seems drawing in neon is harder than it looks. Ah well, I'm glad I was able to practice this today! That is, of course the only way to improve! And I do hope to draw more of this awesome guy and other Star Wars characters that I really like! I feel like that's a side of me that I really haven't shared with y'all yet, despite literally having a Star Wars profile pic, lol
So I tried out drawing Narinder for the first time. You might be wondering why he's purply and skeletony rather than his usual self. Well, I had remembered his lore about how he rebelled against Shamura by reviving the dead, and further, how sometimes when you resurrect your own followers, they can sometimes come back as cursed entities. Well, I decided to theme my Nari very closely to a cursed entity because I think it kinda fits and I love undead things! I haven't decided for sure yet if I'd like him to become cursed after the schism with his siblings or if I'd prefer he always have this form. Still got to think a bit more about his character. But anyways, enjoy my first draft of Narinder!
It has been EXTREMELY COLD this first week where I'm at. I managed to snang these photos of a sign showing the temperatures and figured I'd draw Shamura showing off like the true winter warrior they are! This is the PERFECT weather for bikini pics after all!
(DISCLAIMER: THAT LAST PART IS A JOKE! DON'T WEAR BIKINI PICS AT NEGATIVE 40 DEGREES. No obviously you should wear a bikini at - 50 degrees, and be sure to take a selfie to prove you're worth as a true Alaska warrior!)
Well it's the end of the year, so I've got one last post for the year: a Christmas Leshy! I actually created it with a new animation software called OpenToonz. Took me a bit to figure it out, but in the end, I got it rendered! Also, if any animators have advice on how to make smooth animations that are a bit slower, I would love to hear it! I really wanted to try that with this animation but I failed spectacularly, so I ended up just making it choppy.
So, you may have noticed that I've had a battle droid as my profile picture for the longest time, but I've never really shared anything about him. That can't do of course, so I finally made a character sheet about him! Meet Kyber, my silly battle droid OC!
Hey y'all! I thought I would showcase one of my 3D animation videos that I made this semester. This one is my final project, and I made it with Autodesk Maya!
I'll briefly go over the process: first, I made my robot model. This actually took the longest as there were a ton of different components, and even now I'm still not completely happy with the model. Next, I found some free, no-copyright buildings from TurboSquid (if you're into 3d animation, I highly recommend you check it out, there's a ton of free no copyright models you can use!) and modified them slightly. Then, I arranged all the buildings, lights, wallpaper I found on Google, and camera, and animated them. The camera was pretty easy, but the model...well, like I said, it has a lot of components and they didn't always want to cooperate, which makes it difficult. Finally, the last step is to give the video a nice batch render and then use Adobe to compress it to an mp4. Very over simplified explanation but if I tried to explain the whole process, we might be here a while... 😅
Anyways my final thoughts about 3d animation: I like it! It's really fun to build the models, and I can also animate more stuff in a shorter amount of time. Maybe sometime, I'll create more models in the future! However, the main thing I don't like is it's much harder to manipulate the characters and models the way you want them. Especially with expressions, it's pretty difficult. Ultimately, I'm probably going to practice more with 2d animation and see how I feel about it. It does take much longer drawing all those frames. But it is nice to have more animation freedom with your character.
You know how there's this thing called shamwow.. and there's this guy... and there's shamura...
Do you see where im going.
yeah.
Thanks @kata-the-bee for the idea 😎😎
Edit: I did research on shamwow guy (dont ask why) and I'll just say I dont support the guy cuz wtf (I cant do memes in this economy without people turning out to be wierd 💔)
Don't mind me @bialejaja and @kata-the-bee, I'm just adding to your Mura trend...
Dear goodness, I've been gone for way too long. Lot's of personal things have been taking up all my time. But today, I thought it'd be nice to draw some fanart again, this time from Hazbin Hotel! I really like the series and the characters, and have been thoroughly enjoying season 2! I also figured I'd draw Vox because he's one of my favorite characters and uh, he's blue, and I really like the color blue! All in all, really fun drawing!
I was having a bad day, so I decided to go and buy the newest Cult of the Lamb comic as a little pick me up! It was a really fun read, I highly recommend it! Here's a little sneak peak with some of my favorite parts! 😁
Hey yall, i thought I'd give an update since I haven't posted anything in a long while. College and personal life has been pretty stressful lately and I rarely have time to do other things. I'm probably won't post anything else for Coltober, which really sucks but ultimately, it is what it is. I'm really glad I got to make at least one drawing this year! 😁
But anyways, i don't want to leave you guys with nothing at all, so check out these handdrawn comics I made for one of my classes! Proof that I have been busy, lol
I also made an editorial, which was actually was submitted to my local newspaper. I don't know if it ever got accepted but just in case, now yall get to see it! Probably won't make a lot of content like this, i usually like to just be wholesome. But every now and then it is good to poke fun at hateful people, especially during these hard times.
Anyways that's all I have to share right now. I hope yall have a great day!
