I donāt think thatās them confirming any canon race since they literally snagged a random model and slapped it in the video. Also theyāre robots guys
Another model hot take (because I seem to have a lot of those):
Iām just gonna say it, I donāt like how any of the recent custom models on SAMS look. Carmine, Dahlia, Overseerās kidās new body (which I also donāt like the design of, why does it look like a weird combination of the Overseer and the Overseerās MURDERER?!), and all of the baby models.
I think the best, and nicest, way I can describe all these models is that they look unfinished. They look like they are missing a lot of polish and textures. They look more like first drafts that accidentally got released than final products. Itās just like my opinion on the familyās house.
And seeing these models next to the custom models on LAES and EASS makes them look so much worse. The other shows custom models look amazing, and they donāt stick out as much, unlike the SAMS models.
I donāt want come across like I hate this creatorās modelling work, because I know that the recent custom models, and the new house, are all created by the same person, and theyāre trying their best. But the final product? Iām just not a big fan of any of them.
There's a new Show of the Week going on in the TSBS server for Pride Month, so I decided to revisit my sketch of Eclipse sporting the double demi colors from last year! With the bonus pan flag colors, because it was confirmed in the server that in one of his personal streams, Davis said Eclipse was likely also pan.
MY HEADCANON IS SOMEWHAT RIGHT WOW- /silly v pos
I had fun with this! It was a bit tricky to figure out how to do it with Eclipse's full colors but I like the look of the painted arms, special ribbons and special capelet.
What always fascinates me is the weaker part of tsams writing. I know it's an ametuer made project without any scripts written other then brainstorming sessions on a daily content grind which means they always need to go with the first pitch.
Which means that characters often if never are wrong about anything. No one is wrong about their judgements everyone is hyper intelligent and no one makes bad calls or missteps. There is no room for a tragedy or comedy of errors and a everything plays out note for note how they say it will.
There is no time for second guessing or re-evaluating their perspective.
"Cozzy is unhinged and dangerous." I don't know, he sounds reasonable to me and his concerns make sense, Sun and Moon are invading his house and being very demanding and presuppositions .....nevermind he's actually unhinged and dangerous.
Moon has a cure he's not sure would kill his friend or work properly....oh nevermind his friend is fine and the cure works perfectly.
"Moon is a dad now" hmmm well i don't know about that. He just seems to give the kid food but this kid also watched his bio father die and we don't really get his perspective cus he's a mute character and.... Nevermind he's calling Moon dad despite his bio father only being dead for less than a year and seems to have forgotten him unless his dimensional variants show up.
"Moon is going off the deep end" I don't know. It seems like he's having an intense argument and grieving pretty heavily and has a lot of pressure and expectations I don't understand why people are treating him like a criminal or Monty doesn't tell anyone about his mental state..... Annnnd he's in space, adopted by dark Sun becomes Nexus and dies and goes evil and off the deep end.....
"Monty wants to date Earth" hmmm I don't know. We should reconsider this, Earth was just born a few days ago and Monty stalked and harassed her at her work place, and he even seems to hide things from her constantly. We should consider this relation-....and they're dating.
They have this pattern for years.
How am I supposed to engage with a media and have a thoughtful analysis on it, when if characters just say "this is the way it is" and then it is? And theyre right every time?
I know there a few times where characters are wrong but it's so far and in-between.
It's so rare I come across a media that is written in a way where characters sound like unreliable narrators, but they turn out to be extremely reliable because they are never wrong.
It's frustrating as well as fascinating and I blame the daily format.
That's why it's harder for me to get that invested anymore.
Probs one of the most random things Iāve decided to animate, but it seemed like fun animation practice* and I LOVE Pinkpanthressā new music video. I've been waiting for this song to get popular since it came out last year, probs my second fav in her whole discography, but like yeah very fire very peak please watch it if you havenāt itāll change your life (/silly)
I pretty much took the format of the music video and ran with it for the chorus, the random people doing silly things to the beat is pretty much just an excuse to include as many women in the cast that I can fit B) I couldn't fit everyone in here, but I hope this is enough !!
*This was supposed to take like a week, but I underestimated it and itās now been a month. The most timely of animators, I am
Extras and original MV below the cut:
I made some gifs of some of the smaller moments I thought looped well! (And also cause Terra and Monty are mostly obscured by Nebula and I spent a silly amount of time on them)
Sidenote: I can't believe how much I've drawn Venus with apples. It's not a conscious effort, it just ends up happening. I'm banning myself from doing it after this because it's getting ridiculous at this point (though I really like the animation loop so I'm still happy with it š)
Iāve been trying to incorporate Rosieās punishment into art for SO LONG you have no idea. It makes me feel many things (mostly anger) so know that there is at least one other art piece in my drafts themed around it. (I also have some comic scripts about Rosie's reintegration into the group, but I dunno if I'll ever draw 'em because I don't know where I want the story to go yet)
She ate this video up genuinely. The scenes with Andy jumping rope and DJ using the turntable were taken from the video. (Andy more directly, I adjusted the angle for DJ)
The frames do get a bit scuffed at times, I am awful at making consistent frames rn XP
I was also originally gonna only do art for this but I never got past drawing Rosie. The animation took over. (I appreciate how many characters in these shows have curly hair. As someone with very curly hair I'm like YEASSSSS MOREEEEEEEE š£ļøš„š„š„š„š„š„)
Also PLEASEEEE make Feelings popular next chat, PLEASE its literally her best song. Gorg. I have a specific Rosie piece I'm using it as inspo for later, spoiler alert.
"Think of me, you can't pay for therapy!"
"Nothing left to bleed, you spent all your clarity!"
Hi, today you learn a fun fact about Star: sheās a huge insect nerd!! I saw the antennae on Dahlia and immediately zeroed in on giving them more bug like features. I want to draw him more, and expand upon it, but these are the doodles I did when he first appeared. Definitely more on the way, this bug guy is my favorite now.
Their insect features (I know itās not quite apparent. I do want to make them more prominent now, but before I wanted to try and stick to the original as much as possible.) are based off of praying mantises! I was specifically looking at orchid mantises, even if their colors donāt match up. Gorgeous little guys who are still deadly!
