updating my blog promotion post a bit again :) been a while since iâve made one, but i just copy and pasted everything from the last one lol
hello! my name is shay! iâm mostly a digital artist and i just post/reblog random shit lol
i am aro/ace, so please donât try and get weird with me. i use she/they pronouns. lgbtqia+ phobic people, fatphobic people, pedophiles, sexists, ableists, and racists ARE NOT WELCOME!
my interests are:
magical girls
things that are game grumps related (nsp, twrp, starbomb, etc.)
j-metal (mostly babymetal, a little bit of hanabie + nemophila)
âRuff Ruff Danger Dogsâ
check out my youtube channel for the occasional edits and art! :) -> @/socially-shay
might change some things like hugoâs turn and a different angle towards the end (i wanted to try and make something from khloeâs pov, but it doesnât look as good)
working with a half body turn with hugo took FOREVER âcause iâm working with four legs đ iâm currently trying to work on a head turn for cornchip, but damn. rotating a box in 2d is making me go insane đ«
idk, but i feel like pezzy and droid have that same dynamic as arin and dan. such as⊠this clip!
this is probably an excuse to show how much i like these guys along with the grumps. are there any frouse/clooless fans here that also like game grumps? đđđŒđđŒ
a collection of things I didnât finish. w/ some light additional commentary because Of Course
âïžanimated mv + (((triple baka)))!
Practice animating in Photoshop: a process I LOATHE with my entire being. I ran out of ideas for the mv quick enough to damage my ego, and Iâm just generally unsatisfied with how the Triple Baka came out. I might finish these, if I can find a way to do so that doesnât make me want to pull my hair out.
âïžRobbie Williams x NS3 portraits - inspired by @musicallyseducingallthehotties!
âïž Perfect Jew, anyone?
TBH I still really like this one in theory, but itâs a bit too far gone for me to have any real interest in finishing it. Iâm sure this one says absolutely nothing about my psyche!
âïž Steven Universe AU!
Got most of the way through the lineart on this one, then my file corrupted + I promptly gave up. If anyoneâs curious; Danny is a Moonstone (belly), and Ninja Brian is a Tigerâs Eye (back of neck). Lady Killer is a human. You should check this out for no reason in particular.
âïž My Cat is Sad by Spencer Madsen: another animation Iâm in too deep to scrap, but donât have enough ideas to continue.
âïžVarious sketches in varying stages of incompletion. Oh my! Bottom left was inspired by @shays-shitposts!
âïž Anddd a storyboard I didnât quite finish.
Dan came out suspiciously Danny-ish, for my taste- but I might clean this one up. For my portfolio, if nothing else. Feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel, too! I ⊠might upload there more in the future! Maybe!
tumblr user grmpgm will do ANYTHING other than work on The NS3 comic. Miraculously, this somehow also includes working on NS3 comics.
I actually like working on comics WAY more than animation, so I plan on leaning into these in the future. Iâm considering calling these little mini-comics âNS3 Quickiesâ. Iâm a little conflicted, because I donât want them to get in the way of the NS3 comic, but I think theyâre a fun + low effort way of characterizing NS3 (w/out requiring a whole original script from me.) And hopefully theyâll get me better acquainted w/ the comic-making process!
âïž a dreamy sighâŠ?
âïž obvious punchline is obvious.
and ⊠the moment youâve all been waiting for âŠ
except I DID decide to censor these, for the time being.
Dialogue Is Hard
Iâm still actively working on the script, and I really want to ensure itâs the best it possibly can be. Fear not, loyal viewers: I officially have beta readers! Now I just have to⊠like ⊠actually do it, I guess.
Also- if you are 18+, and youâd like to critique the script, feel free to dm me! Iâm notoriously bad @ responding to people, but please be patient with me; I will get back to you. This is my first real foray into comics (something very intimidating for me, and something I hope to continue doing), so Iâm looking for all the feedback I can get.
(unfortunately, thereâs a limit to 10 photos, so iâll try my best to fit everything in text form). soooâŠ! introducing my magical girl/super sentai au of starbomb, or known as:

debated on using one pose that i thought fit danny, but i decided to draw all three :) these are all from the short nâ sweet tour in chicago, boston, and charlottesville
(click for better quality + reference images and time lapse below the cut)
i need some video sources of danâs girly screams/goose yelps âcause i think theyâre hilarious to make a compilation out of
idk why, but itâs just funny to hear them from a guy whoâs so calm. the only one i got so far was from the pool toy power hour when dan was trying to lay in the rainbow floatie
