Blog entry for today-Let this be a warning to anyone who breaks in the back of their shoes(tw. blood)

This morning, my sister and I were late for the bus to school. I was running with my shoes not properly on, and the next thing I knew, I was tumbling down the sidewalk.

Luckily, I was wearing long pants and my knees were almost intact, and my hands were only slightly injured. So I was like, "oh cool, I'm not hurt! Well, gotta go to school now-" but when I looked at my hands again, there was blood pooling on it, but it was sure NOT coming from my hand.

Where is all this blood coming from??

I didn't have a clue, and I asked my sister, who told me it was coming from my chin. I checked my face with the camera app and YIKES THAT WAS SOME GORE. It looked like I was bitten by a zombie.

I went back home and my mom was like "Oh my god your face-!!" Mom messaged my homeroom teacher I was staying home today, and we waited home until it was hospital opening time. (I solved some math problems while waiting because the grind never stops haha)

We visited a dermatology clinic with a small band-aid on my blood-dripping chin, but they told us they only do "beauty purposed stuff" (which makes tons of money btw) and don't deal with gore like that. Eesh, how capitalism affects people...

So we went to a hospital this time (which specialized in injuries like this) with a small band-aid still on my bloody chin, and they told us they had to stitch it. Turns out my chin was kinda mashed up and the tissues were all scattered around the injury, and the cut was so deep that they had to sew back my inner muscles.

The stitching part wasn't that bad though. At first I was scared, I never had a surgery in a conscious state before, but thanks to the anesthesia it didn't hurt at all. The interesting part was that I could kinda feel them sewing my skin. I could feel the draped thread touching my skin, I could hear snipping sounds of scissors, and I could feel the thread pulling my skin to get it back in place. Not very different from sewing clothes, huh.

Yay look I got a white beard

I was devastated at first because there's an important exam I have to take 2 days later. But looking on the bright side, maybe I'm using all my bad luck on this to get better grades on that test...?

Anyways, I'm fine now, I don't look gore-ish anymore 👍 But I'm warning you, if you're reading this, wear your shoes properly..!

I’m still working on the TMMP behind-the-scenes vid but I wanted to post some of the scenes from that project just to have them in a non-video format as well showcase them with better quality.

I will have to make other posts since the image limit is 30, and will probably also link the other parts here to keep them all together:

Part 2 | Part 3 soon WARNING SPOILERS below, for my project Link to the project here (Youtube video) Firstly here's the thumbnail

Everything below are regular scenes now

I will also add the storyboard because I know there are a few people like me who like to see them! It is quite messy though

I'm taking my time going through all the scenes and organizing them on my drive so it will take a bit for me to post the other parts.

I remember thinking back in late December that it would feel so weird when I near the end of this massive project that I’ve worked on every single day since and I still can't believe its almost finished.

I’m excited because I finally get to reveal all the papercraft art I put into this project but also really nervous because I’ve always been afraid of mischaracterizing characters and putting out my opinions and interpretations especially with something this big. Now that I look back at the whole project, I wish there were a few things I added because I will admit some characters feel a tad bit out of character (at least to me), but whatever, at this point I have to post this project because some of you have been waiting so long and I don’t want my efforts to go to waste!

Have some background photos

Also I’ve been putting together a google slides presentation for a video I plan to release after the project which is just me yapping about all the details and secrets I put into the project and a bunch of behind the scene photos, mainly the ones I’ve shown on Tumblr already but also some new ones that contained spoilers! 

I’ve also been going crazy with the edits, I’ve had lots of fun using the animations for that presentation 😭 so look forward to that maybe a few days after the project comes out!

I hope you have a lovely day/night!

A short trip :)

The midterms ended today so I went to Times Square (Korea)!

If you concentrate hard on these pictures you might feel as if you're traveling in Korea! So you can think of this post as a second-hand trip or something like that....? idk what I'm saying....

(The grammar might be weird cuz English ain't my first language and I'm sleepy as heck right now)

ok anyways

Walking to Times Square (it's within walking distance from my home)

You need to go through YeongDeungPo station cuz Times Square is on the other side of the railroad.

Inside the station

Woo there were a LOT of people.... kinda energy draining to be honest.... :')

And bam we're in!

I went in a bookstore called KyoboMungo

They were also selling stationery and other cute stuff so

Something for mom because 8th of May is mother's/father's day in Korea (I couldn't find something for dad yet)

it's a talisman keychain for curing insomnia :)

Aaand we're outside again

I met my dad on the way home (which was a really surprising coincidence) and we bought some mandu, butter rice cakes, and bunsik!

LOOK AT ALL THE FOOOOD

Btw, yeah, I went to Times Square alone. With no friends and all. It's sometimes kinda refreshing to have some me-time 👍 You should do it sometime too, for yourself!

Okk this is the end I'm gonna go read that book I bought and then Imma get ready for sleeepppppp byyyeeeyyyooooo

@stufoo

Fanart for MB!!I was unsure if I should draw your hair long or short at first, but decided to go with long hair because I wanted you to express your feminine side more, just like fem Spamton did in your comic :)

I've never seen your face but I just know that you'll look absolutely gorgeous in feminine clothes! I just know it...!!

I had so much fun drawing this, now that I got this out of my system I'll be able to focus on my studies more (I hope) 👍

I present to you the delicate buttox of a passer montanus(scientific name for Eurasian tree sparrow).

Tenna multi-media project update #5

I am officially halfway done with this project! 

I have a feeling the second half may be easier than the first so I might be able to get this out during May which is crazy to say after the first part took 3 months but now I am more confident in my experience I’ve learned throughout the project and I’m ready to LOCK IN.

I am getting into scenes that are more spoilery so I can't reveal much of the stuff I'm currently working on.

I just wanted to talk about how many details there are in this because theres so much that I love and I wonder how many people will notice? Like how how Tenna and Elninas body/clothes revealing and visualizing their feelings

Or goofy little background stories and details that are completely unrelated to the main story.

You know when you listen to a song and just imagine a full on animation/animatic in your mind with characters you obsess over? Thats basically what happened to me and fun fact, this scene was the first thing I thought of for this project!

(Also, I think this is the first time I'm showing a finished scene from the project??)

This one scene I imagined, just thinking about how Tenna snaps at his employees and they flinch back, made me think about the ways in which Tenna treats his employees which then snowballed into a full on backstory sort of.

I’ve been waiting more than three months to finally see it drawn other than the storyboard and it’s kinda surreal to see it finished!

I’m gonna yap about my Tenna design for a bit. There's something that I wish I had noticed at the beginning of this project because I changed his design mid project and I’m kinda upset about it… 

It’s Tenna’s ‘eyebrows’. I’ve seen the way people draw the eyebrows in the form of manipulating his casing and as soon as I started doing it IT JUST MADE SENSE. I know this is just a little design choice but this WHOLE time I always felt something was off about the way I draw him (at least to me) and I finally realized it when I had to draw something being displayed on his screen and couldn’t draw the eyebrows cuz it was black.

I’m also upset because this little detail makes sense for my interpretation of Tenna’s design story wise. Since Tenna can shrink and grow magically in game, I thought it would be neat if every part of himself was infused with a lil magic. Even his clothes like for example, I’ve seen many people give Tenna a tail of some sort that visually expressed his emotions- so while my design doesn’t have one I kinda subconsciously substituted his coattails as ‘tails’ where they emote and are more animated when hes performing, and kinda limp and dead when hes off-air.

I hate how late I figured out the eyebrow thing because you can see when the switch up happens in the video… nooo…

Also there are so many times for Tenna where I spend so long on certain pieces like his tie or tv brooch and it ends up getting covered anyway because I just forget different pieces lengths or by accident. It’s so sad to finish a little piece and then realize its going to be covered up anyway. I try to save these pieces for future scenes but most of the time they likely aren’t the right size/angle. 

Ok I'm done yapping

Nose broke :(

Sneak peak for an office sequence

Tenna is the main focus of this project and hes the only character where I create seperate pieces in order to replicate his 3d-ness and different rendering in game and the process typically looks like this for each Tenna:

I hope you have a lovely day/night!
