ABOUT ME:

Things I enjoy currently:

• Transformers!!

• Minecraft/Hermitcraft/Lifeseries

• One Piece

• Danny Phantom & DC

Currently working on and off on a Grian & Scar focused fan animation for 3rd Life series! (Ft. Red Desert-5sos)

TAG: #RedDes animation progress

Another note: this is not my main Blog!

I follow with the “i-ge” account!

Currently using: Procreate

Brushes

- Customized Derwent (for line/sketch)

- Custom soft round texture brush (noise texture)

- Custom textured chisel (HB pencil as base with coarse charcoal texture)

- Custom textured round (same as above)

Sorry I don’t have a better way to share the brushes, these are ones that I’ve customized and changed to my preference/needs over the years. Generally a fan of chisel brushes and color/hue shifting brushes.

My introduction to Prowl was IDW and I hated his guts, but in a way that I thought he was very interesting.

And when I went to look for Jazz fics I kept seeing Prowl&Jazz shipped and I was like who is this guy always worming his way into Jazz fics. I feel like I was conditioned to like him while trying to read stuff about Jazz💀

JazzProwl rocks tho, but IDW Prowl and fic Prowl are like separate beings to me lol.

WIP piece that was supposed to go up Valentines but I was out on an impromptu trip and the train I took was super delayed so I couldn’t finish it in time. 😔

Happy Valentine’s Day

Jazz reminds u that u are loved!🎶

He is my little lab rat for experimenting with rendering style for transformers

He uhhh… doesn’t have a body because I haven’t really gotten to mech anatomy yet

Sorry buddy

I really wanna do a full body in this style tho!

Getting into Transformers is forcing me to learn how to draw 3D shapes actually.

The green guy isn’t anyone specific so I guess is an OC. He’s the first time I tried drawing a cybertronian. His colors are based on migraine medicine and Advil lol

Also funny thing I thought Macaddam was pronounced Maca dam, not Mac addam until I watched some episodes of Cyberverse…

Got back/actually into Transformers recently and having the time of my life catching up on fan content.

Read a really awesome TFP fic called “The Next Adventure” by AJ_Parker94

https://archiveofourown.org/works/40605402/chapters/101734749

It’s basically human oc adopted by giant robot family and I’m a sucker for fatherly Optimus Prime. So I drew some fanart of the author’s oc Ellie cause I can’t draw robots confidently yet lol.

Currently having fun with the new Procreate marker brushes, so I colored in some Grian drawings :D

WIP!! This is my first run cycle ever! I’m at like 14 hrs spent on a simple cycle but I’m proud of it so far!

More about the process and animation tutorials under⬇️

This probably would have been less difficult if I didn’t decide to animate the wings and flowing clothes😭

I think I started this specific shot months ago but took a detour to learn more about waves and arcs. I was struggling with the wings for forever, but after an obsessive fueled study sesh I had a much better understanding of how to do them and did it all at 3am.

Learned from these great tutorials/lessons.

Doing these exercises really leveled up how I thought about animating. ⬆️

am i. am i allowed to give feedback as a disabled person who uses mobility aids?

[i-ges]

Of course!! I’d love to hear feedback!

[silly-fox-and-its-stuffies]

okay so i'm probably not going to be great at wording this. first of all, i wanna clarify this is an amazing animation!! i just feel like Scar's cane was thrown in. I kinda understand if people include a cane in fanart for him, but usually it's just thrown in, without meaning or thought put in. Scar doesn't use a cane, whether we're talking abt irl Scar or minecraft Scar. I understand the headcanon of it, it makes sense, but still. I really feel like this just doesn't make sense why a cane was used, because while yes, some cane users can run, majority can't run as fast as he is in this animation, and also this could've been done with him using a wheelchair if that makes sense. It just feels very thrown in without thought behind it, like when queer, disabled, POC, etc characters are thrown into books just as a token person and that person can be like "see!! i'm an ally!!" obviously i'm sure this wasn't want you meant, it just is the best explanation for it.

edit: here's past me from a different post i also gave feedback to

okay so I totally understand wanting to still include his disability, but if this were the other way around and he only used a cane in real life, would you draw him with a wheelchair? bc to me it seems people draw him with a cane to make it easier and not have to think about it as much (totally get that wheelchairs are hard to draw lol) but it becomes a problem when, like in this art it's his minecraft version, and no thought is put behind it. either make him disabled or don't, but don't just slap on a mobility aid to make it more "true" or "realistic" to him, especially when it's not one he even uses. people draw him with a cane not because that's how they see him (although they might), but just to include that little bit of disability then be able to forget about it, when for him, it's his whole life. idk i have many thoughts just no idea how to word them, you're very welcome to ask questions!! they'd help me to explain myself better actually

Thank you for the thoughtful feed back, and honestly I agree with your sentiment. I definitely was questioning my design choices and the honesty of the portrayal when I was making this project! If you don’t mind I’d like to explain some of my thoughts about it?

My final design was based on a few things. Scar has talked about how his 3rd life performance is a beta version of his hermitcraft salesman character which is often depicted with a cane, so it was definitely influenced by that at first.

For a while I would avoid my project and thought about how it felt odd to boil down his character design to “add a lil bit of disability” and was going to nix it completely, but I saw fans who see Scar drawn with a cane and how they feel even a little bit connected and represented with the depiction so I decided to keep it.

So yes I could have chosen not to give him a aid at all (which I decided not to do) or a designed w/ the wheelchair but it basically comes down balancing my skill level and time spent on the project.

Other note I am glad you spoke up and I got to discuss this with someone!
