oh my gosh, thank you all so much for the warm welcome back! here are some concept sketches for ya~~~

[captainjellyart]

last year on x-mas, my animation “Milk & Cookies” hit 1 million views

i was so amazed by the support and love on yt, that it honestly got me anxious to try and surpass people’s expectations, which has since put me at a halt

i’ve been doing a lot of “soul searching” hahah, and with the release of melanie martinez’s comeback album, i feel like im finally ready

not to get hella sappy rn but the Crybaby album got me through so much,,, K-12 couldnt have come at a better time

so, thank you for waiting ❤️

Oh cool! so what do you study now?

animals uwu

[captainjellyart]

This is a weird question, but did you ever go to art school? I just absolutely love your art and art style uwu

i participated in a new media arts program all throughout high school (basically pre-college stuff) where i studied animation, film, and game design

i also did a year of actual college where i studied animation and game design, and dabbled in film stuff on the side

it sounds like a lot but i actually retained like nothing bc honestly self-teaching is just as good, its just slower lol

[captainjellyart]

wow so 4 days later i learned to never upload via mobile ever again bc it fucked up the last post so here we go again starting off the new year so terribly wrong goddammit

anyway heres that 1p2p teenager commission

[captainjellyart]

teenager 1p2p commission ✌ happy new year y'all

[captainjellyart]

This probably sounds creepy but what kinda of job do you do also do you and tea ever plan to get married?

not creepy at all! i just started working for the Animal Humane Society as an animal technician :)

as for katie,,,,, its up to her lol

[captainjellyart]

DeviantArt has been selling its users art to royalty free website

another reason why i dont use it anymore lol

[captainjellyart]

Omg I lobe your art style, it inspired me to find mine, but how exactly do you draw hands? I just can't understand how hand anatomy works, and yours look really realistic. Do you have a step-by-step routine you follow or you watch your own hand or what is your serceeeet?

dude i just have a really deep aesthetic for hands and i like drawing them

i guess practice and references,, for refs i usually use my own hands or google something similar

[captainjellyart]

Hello! I was wondering if you still use your DeviantArt?

HAHA nah fam (i wanted to archive the entire account somehow without loosing them mems but idk how so,,) and soon it might be tumblr too damn im just jumping around platforms arent i

right now im most active on twitter and IG tbh

[captainjellyart]

Everyone's talking about those new aph designs, where can I see them?

honestly i dont know where folks are getting those high quality pics of the design previews, but i just referenced the blurry ass samples from a merch twitter and thats a feat i will never overthrow 

[captainjellyart]

i am not exaggerating when i say that i screamed when i saw these designs

[captainjellyart]

Um.. hey! I have been meaning to ask you, I have seen some of your w.i.p’s of your projects of your animatic’s/comics. (I have also a project of my own too!) I was wondering, how do you still latching onto your motivation and kept on going with it. I been struggling with my motivation and kept on leaving me and I can’t get it done of my things and I just quit, lol.

oh dear, my depression have a vice grip on me and i havent been working on animations for fuckin months now. ive been working on getting my life together, but a lot of external things that are out of my control are holding me back atm. so, i dont have a lot of motivation because its linked directly to my depression lmao

also, im trying to learn that its okay to start things and not finish them. of course, its damaging if its applied to big important things, but if you just let go of the smaller things, then its fine!! at least i think... still learning hahah

[captainjellyart]

Just curious (idk who to ask) do you recommend taking anti-depressants? Cause my mom and counselor have been telling me to try them but i feel scared for some reason and im not sure how to feel about them :’^(

its all up to you and how your body reacts to it. for some, it works wonders, but for others not so much. but! if doesnt work out for any reason, you dont have to continue taking them! but always always ween yourself on and off of them, and always per instruction from your perscriber (dont just stop taking them one day bc that can fuck you up.)

anti-depressants in particular have a huge stigma that its “happy pills”, but theyre not. they just balance out the missing brain-juices that make you function properly, thus giving you the energy to make changing life choices. they dont make you magically happier, they just give you the option to be happier.

its always worth the try, but if you think therapy or coping mechanisms help you more, then thats just how you are. a mixture of both can be nice too!
