KPRS4ever's World of Geekiness and Such

Everyday cartoon geek and professional geekasaurus. 🦕🤓 Author of Star Vs The Forces Of Evil: When Two Worlds Collide and Ancestral Nightfall. I drew that Starco kiss that should've happened in the series finale. 😜 Twitter ---- Instagram ---- Wattpad ---- Fanfiction ---- Patreon

I got another, have you ever felt bothersome with the content of the Owl House overlooking Star vs sometimes?

I love the show, but I once faced the content of how some people go overboard with that series

Like exploring world building, a plot more structure, heck some on Twitter even stated that Starco is toxic while Lumity is a better example of a relationship.

Did you ever find a way to deal with it?

I think......hmm.......I think one reason that The Owl House is sometimes overshadowing Star Vs. is because for some people, Star Vs. didn't play out the way some wanted it to. Some people are divided over the finale and even the serious turn the show started to take in the very beginning.

I mean, the Owl House has done some things that are historic, like Lumity and all that. And Disney shows usually aren't like The Owl House with its themes and plots. But since some things with Star Vs. didn't play out like some wanted, it brought people over to the show.

I mean, I had no problem with how Star Vs. played out! In fact, I wanted it to keep going! I loved how it dove deep into Mewman history and how a lot of the episodes were intense! It's why I wrote my fanfic! I wanted to dive even deeper into it. And you'll see how much deeper the history and lore will go when I continue Ancestral Nightfall. 😉

But some people wanted it to keep that theme of silliness and fun instead of the deep dive into magic and wars and the many ships that maybe started a bit of a battle between fans (although Starco was planned since the very beginning but I digress 😂). People have their preferences. And that's okay!

So I will say this. It's never bothered me that the Owl House is getting the attention it's getting! I feel that all animation deserves a big spotlight! Star Vs got it along with other shows I love! So I'm not sour about it at all! I'm glad they're getting recognition! Animation is a medium that should always get praise because it really shows talent among artists. And as a fellow artist, I'm okay with it 😊

[kprs4ever]

As a Star Vs. fan is there a scene, episode, or any part of the series you wish they can change?

I for one love an alternate opening to where it all began like the first use of magic and Ludo's beginnings.

Or the ending to have a better battle like a "Battle of Endor" style of fight.

I would even love to see real chemistry between Tom and Janna. Which is one reason I love to read your fiction!

That's a good question! I mean, I wish they had Starco become official much sooner because I wish we could've seen more of them together as a couple. And I agree with you when it comes to Tom and Janna!

And thanks for reading my fanfiction!! 😊😊

[kprs4ever]

Are You returning to what you like doing?

Like maybe new art, or some fun concepts, or even your continuation of your fan fiction?

Yes!! All that in fact!! I've been so busy with other things that I really want to get back to drawing and writing. I miss it and it's time I returned!! 😊❤️

[kprs4ever]

What was your favourite SVTFOE moment?

Well, if we don't count the Starco kiss in the barn (had to sorry I love that scene 😊😊) it would have to be Marco teaching Star how to ride a bike! That moment was so fun! Oh and the moment Eclipsa got the wand to defeat Meteora! OH and when Star and Marco's love combined their worlds!! Okay yeah I mentioned three but I love them all.😊

Why hello Tumblr! It's been way too long! 😊

How about a Mercury vs Toon City vs RDK vs Sugarcube when comparing to Star Butterfly and Marco Diaz?

It’s hard to compile proper screenshots to exemplify everything, and some differences can be understood only by watching whole scenes / episodes, so I’m mostly going to be descriptive

Mercury: thickest outlines out of any studio, consistent models and sizes, but with a lot of bounciness and deformation during weird faces / action moments. This studio put the most emphasis on teeth, eyelids (especially for upset expressions), and especially eyebrows, giving everyone a less soft vibe than later seasons, on average. Overall they obviously followed character models, but rather than trying to mimic the style of the boarders, they had their own “style” (other shows made by Mercury share similarities). Shorter necks, and more details for weird faces, especially for Marco. Not “gross out realistic Spongebob close up” tier, but still something rarely seen in later seasons. Maybe a bit more “cartoon from the late ‘00s” style than “cartoons from the ‘10s” style.

They worked with “puppets” animated in flash, so there’s some tweening here and there, but barely visible. They were that good.

Toon City: hard to point at specific characteristics, like RDK this studio followed the style of the individual storyboarders of the episode, but with a strong tendency for going off model or having weird proportions. If I were to make a super generic comment on this studio, I’d say that the characters - or at least Star and Marco - looked shorter in many of their episodes, but even that wasn’t really that consistent.

They worked with vectors, but without tweening, animating every individual frame. 

RDK: my favorite, almost impossible to pinpoint general characteristics here since this is the studio that followed the boarders’ style the most, but the first word that comes to my mind is soft. Everyone looked cuter in RDK episodes, and while I did obviously miss the bounciness and action packed scenes Mercury had (and RDK did suffer from “cheap” looking animation more than other studios), I think they drew the characters at their best. Especially Marco, who has slightly rounded and bigger eyes and smaller eyebrows in most RDK episodes, giving off a stark contrast compared to the almost smug/snarky feeling expression her had in Mercury episodes when idle.

They draw traditionally, with ink on paper, to then scan the frames and color & animated & composite the whole thing digitally, so you can see some imperfections in the outlines, like where the pen left the paper, or where they probably inked the same section multiple times, leading to a line of variable thickness. 

Sugarcube: a weird studio. When they go offmodel or have to animate special or unconventional poses, they easily rank second best for me; but when the characters are idle or just standing there talking, they often look too stiff - especially Star and Marco, with way too “regular” and geometric eyes and shapes, small pupils and irises, and longer than average necks. It improved a lot during S4, but I still wish they’d have made them eyes a bit bigger.

Huh. The more you know! 😁

[kprs4ever]

I've been following you story for a while now and I've been wondering a few things: Will we see any of the other queens soon? Is magic going to come back in full anytime soon? Will we see other dimensions again?

Well, one of those questions have been answered already in the story! I can't give any more spoilers though! 🤫😉

[kprs4ever]

Well, I'm on both fanfiction and Wattpad! Here are the links! I don't know which exact story you're talking about so I'll just give you these! 🤗

And sorry if I took so long to answer! Man, I need to get on here more often 😅😅

Full Resolution here

This is one of my favorite Starco poses in the whole show, and it’s a tragedy that it’s a far shot in the actual episode, with small characters and blurry lines. So naturally I had to waste several hours tracing to manually “upscale” it.

Before and after

Marco’s legs are a bit longer because they look weirdly small in the original scene, probably because it’s a in-between frame not meant to be this big.

I. LOVE. THIS 😍😍😍😍

MY FLIPPING HEART THIS IS MAKING MY HEART SWELL AHHH!!! 😭😭😭

[ubercelloczar]

Finished my massive Minecraft project! Hundreds of stacks of material, 200 high (all the way to build height ceiling), 106 wide, and I even managed to finish the actual construction fast enough that @ngame989 only saw it once it was done 😂 (the art I derived the design from is @kprs4ever). Happy coincidence that it lines up with the sunrise, too! For some reason even that wasn’t enough for me, so I threw together a loopable note block setup of the starco theme under the floor of the observation room 😅 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A15blgnQLfU

Somewhat unrelated, but I’m also finally back to making steady progress on my musical composition piece, though it’s looking like it might be longer than I originally intended.

[kprs4ever]

OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!! I've never had my art made in Minecraft before so this is AWESOME!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[kprs4ever]

Dab 😂😂😂

Starco Fic Recs

Disclaimer: This list is largely curated to my own personal preferences (minimal feelings angst, minimal AUs, character development >>> plot) and has a fairly high bar for quality in characterization, etc. There will likely be many popular/beloved fics that don’t make my cut, and even ones that do make the list will probably be riddled with criticisms. Feel free to DM me things you think I should consider adding, but I make no promises.

And of course I’d be flattered if you gave my own works a chance - stop by my About Me section for links! Thus far I’m particularly proud of the post-canon series I just started in collaboration with an awesome team, The Greatest Gift.

Thanks for mentioning my fanfic, When Two Worlds Collide! I’m so sorry it’s corny!! It’s the first Star Vs. fanfic I’ve ever written soooooooo yeah. Still, I appreciate it!! 🤗

[kprs4ever]

I decided to take one of my drawings to the next level and make a speed draw to show you all my art process!...aaaaaand that my sketches can be very messy. 😂 This scene is so near and dear to my heart and gives me butterflies (no pun intended) every time I watch it! Consider this the kiss from a different perspective! Hope you guys like it! The finished fan-art is down below! It should be phone wallpaper size! 🤗
