What am I doing here?

I guess I'm going to be posting my animations and drawings here. And whatever else. Oh right, I have a dA too. It has most of the stuff I've put online if you care to see that: https://www.deviantart.com/mon311

Guess its that time of year I upload something.

Just a simple walk cycle to shake off some rust and actually do something for once. This probably isn't how Gecqua walks but its what I know how to do. I like this thing a lot and will probably choose them when the games come out, but we'll see.

Well since you guys have been patient and put up with my upload spam, you can have 1 (one) animation this year. It's an excitable Birdo loop.

I pretty much made this during the duration of my upload spree because I wanted to actually animate something this year. And because I just think Birdo is cute. I wish I could have done something a bit more substantial this year but unfortunately that isn't the case for now.

So that's gonna be it from me. Thanks to everyone who put up with all the rapid uploads and I'll see ya when I see ya.

You guys are almost free from my post spam. There should just be one more after this, and then its off to the ether for me.

In the mean time, here's a bunch of starters and also a random Dunsparce. I'm not too satisfied with the Hisuian Typhlosions compared to the last one and I even forgot the tail on one of them, woops. The normal Typhlosions and and Dunsparce are based on a couple of shinies I caught in Pokemon Go.

[mon311]

Just a bunch of randos here. I like all these guys to varying degrees (yes, even Bruxish) but some clearly a bit more than others. I wish I was better at drawing Girafarig but I seem to be a bit too out of practice with drawing ungulates since my pony drawing days.

[mon311]

A bit of variety for these posts. I wish I drew Aromatisse more but its shape makes it a bit difficult for me to pose. In general I need more practice with dynamism among other things.

[mon311]

Man, I have more of these than I thought. Apologies again for flooding you guys with these, but I wanted to attempt something resembling consistency for at least a little. I'm at least over halfway done now I think.

Anyway, just some more miltank and some mega-lops I wasn't the happiest with in addition to a couple of regular buns.

[mon311]

Some Nidos, an unshaded and shaded version of hisuian Typhlosion, and Miltank of various proportions.

[mon311]

Another set of Goodra today and also a few Audino. And also a random Grumpig because it didn't really fit anywhere else.

[mon311]

More Lopunnies today. Goodra also finally makes their appearance in these sketches. With this, my top 3 favorite Pokemon lines (Lopunny, Delphox, and Goodra) have been posted. I've drawn some other favorites that I'll post after these as well as more from those aforementioned 3 lines. I kinda wish I tried shading a Goodra or two, but I wasn't confident it would turn out very well.

[mon311]

Two of my favorite pokemon for this upload. I like how most of these came out a little more than the last time I drew these two.

[mon311]

Here's the next batch of work sketches.

I uhh, think I like drawing/shading legs. Most of the drawings after this will be more Pokemon focused. Also, sorry most of these were kinda messy. I switched pens several times due to running low on ink/losing some.

Going to go ahead and give myself a day belated birthday gift of actually uploading something this year.

I have to apologize for the radio silence and want to say sorry even more that I still haven't posted an animation. Truth be told, even though I do have a couple of things I'm working on they are still far from complete; despite them not being particularly complicated or even planned to be very long. Mostly just the normal excuses of being tired after work, various distractions/interests like shows and games and even a bit of anxiety about posting something that isn't animation. I like drawing too, but I know I still have a lot I don't know how to do and need to work on.

I'm actually sitting on a ton of sketches and doodles I've done during my downtime at work, but haven't really felt they were substantial enough to post. And I'm not really the type to just post my thoughts much without some art to go with it.

So, this following week I'm just going to be dumping these work sketches until I'm all caught up. After that, I'm not sure when I will post again, but hopefully it will be before a year passes this time.

Anyway, here's Harriet. She's cute and I got kind of obsessed with drawing her for a little bit. These were drawn first and mostly from memory like most of my work sketches. I did look her up between various attempts though. I also did the same with thing with Clawroline. And a random Meows because it fit the space. There are gonna be sketches I didn't upload since I didn't like how a few of them came out, but I'll try not to skip too much stuff.

[mon311]

Wanted to make something simple while working on another project. Decided to practice a bit of lighting and quadrupedal movement with this shiny piggy because I think shes cute. Still not quite satisfied with some things like the back leg and tail but it'll have to do for now.

[mon311]

incidentally, I'm kinda leaving both sites I know of you being around because of AI nonsense. do you happen to have another website you post to than here and deviantart? or any plans if you do move?

Unfortunately, I don't really have any other big websites I really go to besides an old animation forum I still occasionally post stuff to called Hyun's Dojo. I also don't really have plans to go anywhere at the moment either but I understand why everyone else is.

It's mostly just laziness, but I also don't like how a lot of places organize art, including here on tumblr. I still haven't gotten used to blog style posting and am probably generally too unsociable to be able to fully appreciate it. And I still have a dA because it would be too much of a pain to move all my garbage anywhere else, just for that new website to do some dumb thing to make everyone leave as well. But maybe I will post stuff some other place at some point, since it does seem like people would still like to see whatever my next work is that I will finish 2 years from now. I'll update if I do decide to do that, but I likely still wouldn't be leaving any of my current sites.

Disable third party sharing or else tumbler will train your stuff on ai

Thanks for the heads up. Though it took me awhile to find the option for some reason. I tried doing it from my dash but the option wasn't there until I went to my blog directly and went to blog settings.

Anyway, it's pretty lame that all these AI things make you check the option to opt out instead of the other way around, but I think its fairly obvious why they always do it like that. Which is why pretty much everyone is always upset when websites do this.

On another note, I don't know why this is the only ask I can see fully despite me getting some others in my notification.

[mon311]

I may be a stupid.

According to my activity notifications I seem to have messages in my inbox, but when I go to check it, tumblr says I have no messages. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or what, but sorry if someone sent something and I haven't replied to it.

Happy Bunday, Christmas Eve/Christmas, Year of the Rabbit, and whatever other holidays or traditions are going on or whatever.

Once again, it has been like over 2 years since I made anything substantial, and there was kind of a lot that's happened since then that has kept me busy. From a new job, living arrangements, a new pet, various games and shows and other excu- I mean things going on, I've had quite a lot to distract me from art. That being said, since that time, I've also been working on this thing off and on in a similar way to my Braxien animation. And just like Braxien, this is another one of my favorite Pokemon, Lopunny. Actually, its my literal favorite, if that wasn't obvious before. I just like the bun a lot. So much, that I felt that I wanted to make an animation that I ended up making exactly 428 frames (Lopunny's dex number) because I'm a moron. It honestly could have and probably should be a smidge longer, but I also just wanted to be done by that point. Making an animation of this length and trying to keep the quality consistent is still something I'm a novice at. It takes way longer than it should, much like this post.

Anyway, that's pretty much it. I hope to make something a little sooner than 2 years next time, but you never know with me. I have a bad habit of locking myself to a project if I start it.
