Please ignore this poll if you’re not in either fandom and you somehow got this poll in your feed anyway. Any and all input is much appreciated (and so are reblogs)!

P.S. If you like both, you may want to stick around! I’m cooking up something :]

So I watched the HSR 2nd anniversary animation a couple of times, and this frame really spoke to me. Gepard is one of my favorite characters so seeing him on screen in general was a treat, but that in and of itself isn’t why I like this frame so much. It’s what he’s doing.

He’s eating.

I know that doesn’t sound significant on its own. Like, duh, everyone eats! The thing about it being Gepard in particular, though, is that we hardly EVER see him being depicted doing such mundane things. When he shows up in missions and quests, he’s working. When he visits the Express, he’s usually talking about work-related matters. You can find him in the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone working.

Sure, we know that he’s not ALL work. He grows flowers as a hobby (though he’s not very good at it) and a piece of official art suggests that he himself may be a good cook, but the former is only occasionally mentioned and the latter never acknowledged directly in game at all (at least not to my knowledge).

Most of what we see of Gepard is him being responsible, serious and formal, but here? He’s not any of those things.

He’s not in his Silvermane Guard uniform. If anything, this is probably some of the most casual clothing we’ve ever seen him in. Not only is he eating but there are crumbs all over his face too, and he seems to be either talking while eating or chewing with his mouth open. None of which are considered to be a display of proper manners.

I don’t know about anyone else, but to me this frame is more than just Gepard eating. It’s Gepard being…just a guy. Not a soldier, not a Captain.

Just Gepard.

I’ve been mulling this over for a little while and I’ve come to a decision. I’m changing my username from FrostbiteDoesArt to Frostheria! I feel like it’s more unique and WAY less generic than the “does art/draws/can draw” type of username I’ve had for all this time. I’ll still be using the tag #frostbitedoesart as my art tag (same with #frostbitedoesfanart), but, from now until further notice, that will no longer be my username.

Frostheria is a combination of my internet alias and my preferred name, by the way :]

Question for my followers!

Should I start posting my WIPs (Works in Progress)?

Nope!

It’s been a few months since the last time I posted anything of substance and I just wanted to apologize for that! There were a couple projects I had started that I really wanted to finish before starting anything new but, I can’t lie, I’m starting to get super tired of working on them. Especially since it’s what’s stopping me from making any new art. That being said, I’m probably just going to move on from them so maybe expect some new art soon? Thanks for being patient with me.

TL;DR: I had some old stuff that I was trying to finish before starting anything new but I’ve lost motivation so I’m just going to move on.

Thought I’d mention this for those who don’t know: I have a YouTube channel! I’m posting all of my animatics there as well as here, so if you want to support me, feel free to subscribe/share!

I’m seriously going to have to start reversing my expectations when it comes to posting my art because why is it that every time I post two things relatively close to one another, the one that I expect to do worse always does better 😭?? I’m not complaining, I just find it to be strange that it happens so often.
