It's been just over a year since Deltarune chapters 3 & 4 released! I did the 3D work, which mostly means Tenna 📺 I figured it's been long enough to share some "behind the scenes" stuff, starting with a look at the Maya file for his static poses...
I'd individually render the poses to get that early 3D shine ✨ Here's some of them at their original resolutions! I would work from text descriptions from Toby, and sometimes there'd be a Paint sketch to help out. Gigi drew the concept that I modeled from and some poses too!
I had a lot of fun pushing myself to match the dynamic poses Toby had in mind for Tenna - making him so crazy and expressive was something I couldn't have done without his prompts. He'd draw the faces on afterward too, which really brought Tenna to life!
(lots more after the Read More cut...!)
Here are some of the Paint sketches Toby drew to help me with specific Tenna poses! I love seeing his drawings LOL, genuinely really good and evocative 👍
There was a time when I was struggling to capture what he wanted for these specific Tenna poses… Until Toby acted them out himself, and I thought, "Ah, it's like that. I understand." and then I was able to make them just how he pictured them.
When looking through the renders and choosing what to share, I laughed at these two… Remember when Tenna had a gun? Remember when he bent over in a very specific way that might remind you of another, different image? No? Maybe you don't…? Well. Don't worry about it.
These ones are cute… Tenna is pretty cute sometimes! Has anyone ever thought this? Actually, before people knew he was going to be a strange 3D sprite the Whole Time, I was worried people wouldn't like the style and it'd sour people's views on him. I'm glad that didn't happen.
Toby thought it would be funny to have Tenna do some really smooth, mocapped animations sometimes - specifically free to use ones that often pop up in other things. An extra funny part to me is how many frames these take up in the game, and how his tails are stuck to his legs…
Speaking of mocap, Toby wanted Tenna to use custom mocap animations as far back as 2016 - Ten(na) years ago! I got an Xbox Kinect at the time and learnt how to set this up, but then never used it. Here's a look at messing with mocaped stuff again in 2022. So Normal.
Don't bother trying to help him here, he's just being dramatic 🙄
I particularly like these poses - I think I improvised most of these just based off the context they get used in… I always liked posing his tie and coat tails as if they were also parts of his body he could move. Which I guess they are?
After I rendered out the individual poses in high quality, I'd force the color palette to be limited to just a few shades and then I'd shrink the result down to pixel sized sprites. Like these! I'd tidy them up a little, but they'd really get improved on at the pixel scale by Clairvoire.
As well as Tenna's sprites, I also worked on his intro "movie"…! Seeing people be completely overloaded by this on first playthroughs would always make me laugh. In game, there's a ton of extra editing done by Everdraed, but my unedited cut looks like this ⬇️
This was the entire storyboard I had to work from, and I'm realizing now that there's the note "put him in car etc" that I never did and actually don't know what it would mean exactly. Working on this had me listen to the accompanying audio many times, but it's good so it's okay.
Here are a bunch of random clips of the Maya project for Tenna's intro movie. This is how movies get made, I think!! Yeah… Just like this.
Say it with him, folks!!
For the 3D Ralsei clip from the intro, Toby really wanted it to look a certain way, and drew more sketches for guiding me with this part than any other. They genuinely helped.
Remember how Toby's original storyboard has the note "covered in slime and shrinks"? That meant I had to learn how to make 3D slime. You can see my tech advancing here.
I'm really happy with how the final Tenna animation at the end of the intro movie turned out! It wouldn't look as good if it wasn't for some 2D animation to reference from SmallBuStudio, so thank you to them for the help! Tenna is cute… Huh, I already said that…?
Phew!! That's a lot of Tenna. I hope it was fun to look through my posts! Oh, one more thing - the Fangamer Mr. Tenna Figurine just straight up uses the 3D model I made, which I think is really funny and cool and nice. Check it out if you want! Thanks for reading!
Gotta remake my commissions post because I'm finally moving on from commiss.io and trying out using my own forums. The forums are only for commissioning me → https://comm.scketchzone.com/
I set it to no passwords but you get a link sent to your email to login, since I don't want to deal with people's passwords getting stolen through my forums lol

Fuck it at this point can y’all actually start supporting indie animation and indie games made by black artists/creators because I’m really getting sick and tired of everyone hyping these racist phase mediocre white people that get 90% of their humor from 2000s newgrounds animations
For the people asking “How am I supposed to find them?” Look them up, it’s that easy.
Here is an entire youtube playlist by Mannof1000Thoughts with a ton of indie animation videos AND a livestream he did where he watched some with the creators!!!
Black Indie Cartoons to watch https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2xOBojHKMmoATz6odc0Jo0KNcyO0yXJZ&si=XJ-bUub8_CoTEbUO______________________
For games, there are TONS of lists out there like these:
In celebration of Black History Month, here's a roundup of games made by black developers that should be on your radar.
The MIX is celebrating Black game developers by hosting a stream to talk organically about game development from the Black perspective.
My new and improved website is up! (After many issues actually releasing it, I hate you CORS and random Coolify issues)
Thanks to Hugo, I'm no longer using my the RSS feed from my Art Tumblr on my main page, so all (well, most) the posts from said sideblog are directly on my site! Plus it's got a cool new Search function, powered by Pagefind!
I also tried with responsive design There's probably some weirdness on phones, but I tried my best okay and it was pretty annoying I hate phones just look at my website on a computer lol (I might go back and fix things, if there are things that need to be fixed)
Evil Sonic's website, ScketchZone!
If you'd like to move your Tumblr to a Hugo blog just like I did, I shared how I did it on Gitlab! Cause I don't want to only keep this to myself and the other ways I saw are outdated
GitLab.com
I also set up uploads through PostyBirb (I don't want to manually post to my site lol), so if you're interested in that you can check that out here:

My scripts were made with regular-ol' trial and error, no vibe coding

children who engage in fandom should keep their feet on the necks of hags who talk like this, actually. they have been trying to memory hole their part in cultivating grooming factories out of “fandom spaces” for decades. they are simply mad that many children now have the political education to recognize how inappropriate their interactions are with kids. they now see children as a nuisance because they can no longer be inappropriate with complete impunity like they could in the 2000’s. Please continue to ageistly marginalize these freaks. i have nothing but contempt for Fandom Elders™️.
people can be so annoying about even the gentlest criticism or even observation about fandom trends and characterization. a post can be like "ive noticed a lot of fanworks do [thing] even when that doesn't really fit the characters it's about" and the notes are full of people going "i don't care im just here to play with my dolls how i want to so shut up!!!" ok and so can the person noticing and observing trends and making posts about them on their own blog. you can do whatever you want and someone else going "i don't really like works that do [thing]" is not oppressing you. """"if you don't like it just write your own!1!1!! don't like don't read!"""" like.... apply that strat to yourself reading other people's posts too then. make your own post. simply click away if that one makes you feel attacked. lmao
letting people redefine "filler" was one of the biggest mistakes the anime fandom at large has made. can we go back to its original definition of "anime original content made to fill time for the manga to catch up" please. if i have to see one person call an important episode "filler" again i'm going to start throwing things.
