Art hasn't been a priority as of late, and I'm not sure when it will be again... buuut, I've got some doodles here and there I don't think I've shared!
A few RP doodles, an icon WIP, annnd then doodles for others!
GAHHH I miss drawing the Rescue Corps... ;;_;; I'm just missing Dingo and Bernard here, lol.... OR.... I could, IT'S AN OLDER UNFINISHED COMIC, BUT LIKE... okay it's at the end
Big nose Dingo making a joke about Bernard's own nose ... inspired by my first playthrough, Bernard's side profile had me in its CLUTCHES... I truly don't recall there being much space between his nose and the glass lol SURPRISINGLY not a dingo issue, just Bernard
My BIGGEST inspiration for this sort of animation is John Howe, the artist behind the DGD Robot with Human Hair music videos... LIKKKE, it's been a dream of mine to work on an AMV of my own in that same way!
I only have Capcut, which I reached the max limit of tracks in order to animate this, LMAO. While the limitation changed the trajectory of the whole video, PFTT, I'm still happy with the cute interaction and experience that came from it.
Song: Space Age Love Song - A Flock of Seagulls

Jesus Bless!
IT'S LIKE... the first time I did a redraw for this thing, specifically!
One song I really want to do an AMV for in that style is Son of Robot. I think the Robot with Human Hair series suit Collin so... much... it tugs at my heart strings to think about it! I see him as a young robot. He works really hard, has a one track mind for quality, to rescue and rescue well. The story he delves into with Io contradicts his character in ways he can't retaliate against, though he tries, but... they truly change one another's whole world, their whole universe, together............
Son of Robot is a key song in their storyline, where it's of Io and Collin's first expedition together that led to this fic, here! Whiiichhh, I actually recently updated! It's been a year, so I don't think the changes are OBVIOUS, but I'm proud of the public mystery
By key song, I mean... their playlist, since that's a chronological list of their story, but the script is still a big WIP!
A little animatic to practice storyboarding on Capcut! AHMM...
I did NOT know how to use that template. I put in dialogue in the scene...box, whoopsies... whatever else, I have... no idea... am an art major not an animation major.
I'm currently working on another animatic and!! by comparison to this one, whatever method I'm doing, I donno, but... it works better for me!
BUT, this was done a handful of months ago! I was having a ball listening to 2000's bops with @dillybea and @batticorn on the road and... this song came up. I joked about Io and Collin, but then I was like... hold awn...!
Here is a belated happy birthday gift for my beloved @batticorn! 🌼
You are the absolute love of my life; you've been with me through everything; you loved me when I was loveless. You've been the sweetest, most generous, and blessed gift in my life - and it hasn't changed, not even 7 years later. From high school to now... I'm forever changed by you. Your hand is the one I want to hold for all of eternity. You're my biggest fan; as I am yours. Your stories, your ideas, your thoughts, your voice will always keep me moving...lest you forget, I will remind you: I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for you. You changed my life countless times; someday, I would love to do the same for you, my love. I know this... is such a late gift... April, specifically the day, April 3rd, is such a precious gem to me; no matter how many birthdays we've missed due to life interrupting our fun, I will always celebrate you. I love you to the moon, the stars, and beyond. The Lord is with you always, always, always; He's blessed me with a greater treasure than the world could fathom; you, my wife, my treasure. You're forever mesmerizing. I love you, love you, love you, love you!
Please... enjoy this silly animatic. I... love them... they're my heart... you reblog every single post of mine, please... post... I'm... parched. Peh, peh... oooooghhhhh, give Dingo a goth wiiiiifeeeeeeeeeee...
I never thought we were two peas in a pod until you suddenly bloomed, then I knew that I'd always love you!
God Bless!
I like to picture Collin isn't.... big on PDA... He's proven to be sentimental and... maybe even a little romantic... I could be daydreaming a bit. In likeness to Olimar and how he's moved to think of his wife in reflection of romantic scenery, such as in Blossoming Arcadia; similarly, Collin comments on the same Blossoming Arcadia and Serene Shores with a desired activity, such as having a picnic or walking alongside the waves.
So... him being romantic isn't totaaaally out of the question... (;ŏ﹏ŏ)
With this in mind, his relationship with Io is locked down into the similar... secretive relationship to prioritize quality and professionalism as Rescue Officers. As silly as Io is, she takes the mission seriously - without a doubt, wearing the flower in memory of her lost Pikmin, she wouldn't dare disgrace it. Collin warned her how irresponsible it is for them to engage in relations; However, Io recognized this as his heart and passion for the Rescue Corps. In turn, Io keeps away from these "distractions" as to not bring much attention to themselves. Undoubtedly, Io adopted a deep respect for Collin and his work... it pushes her to work even harder to lighten the load from his shoulders, wanting nothing more than to ease his mind of his many worries. Whenever they're alone, they match one another in awkward silence - yet, in the depths of stress and exhaustion, they learn to rest in the others presence. This would soon develop into sharing a bunk with the other, as they become a "lucky charm" to help lull the other to sleep. Collin finds that her company distracts his busy mind, and his warmth keeps Io's nightmares at bay.
Now, Collin!! As mentioned, I imagine he's solely focused on the mission and simply too busy to consider love at play... but it was inevitable. When he was assigned to her, watching as Io delved into adventure, analyzing her every move, periodically interjecting with guidance... in the same breath, Collin was introduced to her on a deeper and more personal level. He would share moments with her unlike anyone else - majorly, the loss that scarred her. He would witness the bright eyed and bushy tailed recruit mold into an anxious, meticulous and self-sacrificing leader. A semblance of her original personality, such as her goofiness and lightheartedness would shine only in moments with her Pikmin. Due to her worsened impulsiveness, that is to rush into danger for the sake of her Pikmin - he couldn't help but dedicate time to guiding her personally, finding that his voice often cut through her thoughts better than the others. He didn't recognize the swelling realization... but the sight of Serene Shores, the waves murmuring as they eagerly roll in over her footsteps- the pink petals of the Blossoming Arcadia fluttering down and embracing her, just the sight of her alone would plant a seed to ignite with burning passion - leaving him to want nothing more than to be at her side.
Ackk, all this to say... in the moment Collin is a little romantic, nose kisses would really compliment his character...
