(🔊sound on!) The timelapse of this drawing I made for this video is only on my Ko-fi, but I wanted to share this bit of editing from the ending because. I dunno, it made me feel cool?

My sibling said it makes them look like a lineup of murder suspects or something, so:

Who do you think did it?

Mewtwo

Lugia

Deoxys

Arceus

Genesect

Volcanion

Zeraora

Zarude

Today I am being brave & uploading something I didn't do any proper lineart for, just cleaned the sketch ^^; Anyway, currently filling in my Gen 6 blind spot w/ the copy of Y I've had for years but never touched fsr? Looking forward to raising my 3rd crop of these mind-exploding weirdos ahaha

Asset I had to draw for my most recent vid. Well, I use the phrase "had to" very lightly haha. Why is it that when I'm drawing my favorite characters/OCs it takes hours of scrutinizing to get a decent result whereas Barry B. Benson, a character I have zero attachment towards, was a complete breeze? Totally unfair if you ask me >_<

Local creature learns FL Studio to avoid getting copyright struck into oblivion. Just realized w/o the YT version's endslate the ending is awkwardly long, idk if that helps the bit or hinders it ^^;

oof tumblr compressed this one like crazy, probably b/c of all the bloom. Be sure to watch the YT version y'all I promise it's higher quality ;w;

Another example drawing for my commissions page, this time for the new "partial body" option :] I think Lian's my fav warden in PLA, love that the Pearl Clan looked at a guy that small & said "yeah, let him operate heavy machinery" lol

[scribblespecters]

A little something drawn for my commissions page b/c I recently added a bust/icon option & needed an example image! Also fiddled around a bit w/ how I handle line-tinting & figured if any character would appreciate the experiment, it'd be Penny ahaha

[scribblespecters]

you're doing great sweetie

Hi all, my friend & fellow animator TheApoke recently launched a Kickstarter for the 3rd episode of his indie animated series Manware!

Since Episode 1 & Episode 2 are already out it's very easy to see exactly what kind of production you'll be backing ^^ But to summarize: if you're into sci-fi, lore heavy cartoons w/ multifaceted characters & wonderfully choreographed action scenes, I hope you'll check it out!

Feel free to elaborate, I imagine there might be a difference between liking a pokemon species on its own vs. as a stylized tool 🤔

Oh gosh I was outta town when this concluded & forgor to ever come back to it ^^; I know it's been 2 months but I also simultaneously conducted this poll on YouTube & wanted to share the differences in the results b/c I think it's quite surprising:

Not only do we have a different winner in the Sprinklotad, but the entire rankings are a different order! One could argue that the much larger sample size is at play, but I will say these patterns solidified around the 200-300 mark & barely changed past that point.

As for the possible reasons behind the different victors, one of my hypotheses is that the YouTube crowd may have an overall younger age composition than the tumblr crowd. If that's the case, then those players who grew up w/ more recent Pokemon games might have more recognition/nostalgia for the Sprinklotad than its older competitors.

Another possible factor is that YouTube polls have limited & tiny image capabilities, which could have affected the vote. As you can see the Sprinklotad has an adorable menu sprite which is the only thing visible in the YT poll. However, the tumblr poll has enough space to also show its 3D model, which is admittedly a bit awkward looking (not dissing, some would consider this a charm point). I'm curious if less YT users would have voted for the Sprinklotad if they saw how it actually looks in-game...

Anyways, the Wailmer Pail is my personal favorite so I'm glad to see it get some vindication over here lol. tysm to everyone who participated!

Watch the full vid here! (closed captions optional)

Wanted to highlight this snippet b/c I was ~14% through my 3D animation course when I made it. Not perfect by any means but I'm glad it already allows me to engage in these kinds of shenanigans ^^

Hi, I just saw, and greatly enjoyed, your YouTube video about Splatoon demographics.I see you had to remove the usernames of the users you played with in order to not share their usernames torandom strangers online, which is reasonable but unfortunate.You can solve this problem by prepending what’s called a salt, basically just some random data, to eachusername, then running them through a one-way function. Here’s one you can use. They basically takesome input and transform it so that you can’t get the original value out of it. The salt prevents someone frombeing able to make large precomputed tables. This way, you can be sure that you will get the same value ifyou repeat the process with the same salt and username. So you now have some data that uniquelyidentifies each user without leaking their username to random internet people.Also, another possible source of error in your measurement is the time you play, it’ll likely favor people in your time zone.

The compression looks fine to me. YouTube seems to decide how to compress based on how many people will reach the video.

Hi and thanks for sharing your thoughts! I admittedly have minimal familiarity with things like hashing, so I’d never heard of a salt before. After reading more about it I think I can see how its results would be more useful than simply assigning users a survey number as I had done in the spreadsheet.

Yes I’ve gotten a handful of comments concerning time of day and time zones which I definitely agree with! If I ever conducted the survey again, recording match times and possibly having volunteers from different time zones pitch in would be some changes I’d make.

Thank you for weighing in on the compression! I remember learning after the fact that YT compression can vary based on how “big” a channel is. I was surprised, but in hindsight it makes total sense.

My most recent animation has a detail that's hard to spot so I'll share it here: the flame on DJ G-Rave's head becomes more active when he emotes! There's some glow FX on it in the final render that obscures it, so here it is in isolation ^^
