Figuring out how to extract colour palettes from images because I'm always finding yummy colour combinations just out in the wild and I care too much about getting a good representation. I reduced it to 30 colours so I can import it more easily into Procreate -- feel free to use it if you want to.

I’ve been starting to learn how to animate things by using sprite atlases and trying to remake walking/action cycles. Today, I decided to scale-up the resolution and try making something from scratch. I’m going to keep working on it but for now - here’s baby hornet blinking. Next I’ll probably add some wiggles.

This full-body study is going better but the time it's taken to get here and find reference has been intense. starting to undertstand why more people aren't dong this -- however, I like the ice puppy

All I wanted to do was make a funny shirt with a joke about scary girls (black diablos) but these studies are killing me.

How have we been playing our campaign for a whole year and I'm still working on figuring out character design?
