Venus Rivers

hihi im venus/teddy (he/it), 18, gay and trans dogboy. (probably) auDHD, dyslexic, multifandom but i like madcom rn. im doc's #1 fan 😍😝 also proship DNI

[venus-rivers]

hi hello! my name is venus (18 yo), i use he/him and it/its pronouns (whatever is fine, idrm if u use one over the other :p). i am a gay and trans man. i likely have autism, ADHD and/or dyslexia, though im unable to get diagnosed as of now sigh. i might be a lil freaked in the head

also! MINORS LISTEN UP!!! i post/reblog suggestive things sometimes, so if you are under 18 PLEASE block the tag #suggestive if you want to follow my blog. internet safety is very important, please stay out of adult spaces for your own good!!!!!

i am extremely multifandom, so if ur following me for one fandom, expect a lot of other stuff (but ur welcome to stay either way!!!)

my current special interests are madness combat and creative writing, though i am in a lot fandoms, so just expect a lot of variety

i also selfship from time to time! sharing is fine with me but if i ever get a f/o im too insane about it may be subject to change

currently selfshipping with: gaster from undertale/deltarune but its a casual thing hes my side piece

i block freely, but just know i dislike proshippers, any kind of bigot, radfems/terfs/people who refuse to acknowledge transmisandry is real, along with a slew of other things. social media is supposed to be fun so i will not hesitate to make my experience better, and neither should you!

if you are so inclined to get some of my art for yourself, you can look through my carrd page and commission me!

please DO NOT comment/message me here to inquire about a commission, contact me on discord to do that since i am far more active there than here (and to sort through possible scams easier)

and while youre looking at other websites, heres my strawpage if you want to send me fun things :)!

i also have a few tags i use to try and keep things organized

#venus' art tag: self explanatory

#venus spew: text posts/me just yappin

#venus images: pictures/screenshots ive taken

#venus asks: asks ive answered

#fav: my favorite posts :3

#doc posting: what it says on the tin. i need a curated feed of doc images to look at frequently enough to warrant his own tag. if i tag your post with it, its a compliment i swear!

and any fandom tags i may use in the future, usually defaulting to the shortened version of the fandom (i.e., #madcom instead of #madness combat)

pretty incredible that google went from this bountiful source of information to just trotting out blatant factual inaccuracies every time you try to use it. i do not use she/her pronouns. GREAT JOB AI

its funny because when i first posted about my non-dysphoric trans way i was VERY hesitant because its complex and nuanced and i was worried people would take it out of context and flatten it into something incorrect. turns out the people were fine. MACHINES on the other hand cant figure it out

to explain again and help the broken AI machine and then i wont have to talk about it anymore: my preferred pronouns are he/him. my real pronouns are she/her. i prefer to use the wrong pronouns

the reason i do this is because i am not dysphoric and dont need every conversation i have to revolve around gender and my spiritual beliefs about gender. i love my male body even if it does not match my soul. it is a VERY COOL SECOND PLACE and i am pumped as heck on it

if we are talkin just use he/him. ASSUME AWAY. just dont put it on any technical documents or labelers because it is technically incorrect. dont put anything on those. i had a book delayed two weeks because of this once. ANYWAY hopefully the computer will have an easier time with this

The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world.

—J.G. Ballard, Kingdom Come

"From these made-up horrors, these fictionalized enemies, he had created a villain worthy of the violent bravado that he imagined he would display if confronted by said villain. This web of racist lies was what he needed to make himself seem like a man. He invented a story about bad guys who were out to get him, and he repeated it to himself and others until he believed it. Then he made up another story- of himself as hero, defending himself and his family against this violent threat- and he repeated that one until he believed it too. Brian wrote himself into his own American westen, a world of cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers. And for a man with no job, few friends, and a family that couldn't stand him, pretending to be a main character in violent American mythology was as close to belonging as he was ever going to get."

DELTARUNE CHAPTER 5 ON JUNE 24

[pixelatedcrown]

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!

i wish shapes were like bugs and you could just get like a circle infestation in your house or something. fuck ive got bed triangles fuuuck. this could solve everything

[boycritter]

"unbecoming" is such a great word. bro that shit was so rude you no longer Are

[cyacougar]

kinda a HC for me that deimos swoons over sanford whenever he kills/tortures agents bc hes an ex-agent and HATES the agency

[iamthekaijuking]

This show had ZERO fucking oversight it’s actually good

They’re all nonbinary

There’s an entire section of just among us VR

The animation for the imposter is noticeably better than the rest of the show

There’s a 12 Angry Men bit

Most of the crewmates hate capitalism

There’s completely unnecessary amounts of blood and sorta brutal deaths

The characters cuss and occasionally flip each other off

Absolutely dumb visual gags

There’s an entire half an episode where they get high on oxygen deprivation and hamster pile naked

During that same bit one of the crew mates is just played by a guy in an inflatable costume in front of a green screen

And all of it is just played completely fucking straight
