Phantasma Head Turn Exercise
I started to animate instead of doing laundry ^^; but I was enjoying my pencil brush too much, and head turns are always good practice.
I really enjoy animating in Photoshop…I just wish the tools were more animation friendly ^^
Time for me to do chores though <3
Love you all,

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
Winnie’s Awooo
I decided I wanted to get some practice using Photoshop’s animation tools, and thought I’d give my little Winnie pose some more life in the process ^__^
I actually really enjoyed the photoshop tools, I had lots more control on my line cleanup than I do with vector programs I use normally ^^ hopefully I’ll get a little bit better with navigating the program next time, but for now I wanted to share my little Winnie howl animation with you all ^_^
I hope you all had a super lovely weekend <3
All my love,

Guess Who: A Ghoul School Animation.
I got really carried away with this project. It was really only meant to be a rough sketch animation…but it turned into a full color animation with effects.
So many soft effects in fact that I needed to post a video to youtube to show the actual final product ^^;
You can find that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXi8yJjU_XE
and a better/larger gif here: http://fluttershythekind.deviantart.com/art/Guess-Who-A-Ghoul-School-Animation-688489790
Also this little piece was somewhat inspired by @cheesecakes-by-lynx ‘s little drawthread ^_^ https://cheesecakes-by-lynx.tumblr.com/post/159983042365/winnies-secret-a-drawthread-request-i-did#notes So I wanted to give a little shout out there ^_^
Anyway, I am very tired from all the late nights working on this, but I do hope you all enjoy! I really enjoyed working with the Ghoul School characters…so once I rest I think I’ll definitely have to revisit them ^_^
All my love,

I’m so dreadfully sorry that posts here have been slow. I have been working through a slew of commissions and emails and just haven’t had the time to do my normal doodles and sketches <3 But I hope to be back into the swing of things soon ^_^
In the meantime I wanted to answer the oodles of questions I’ve gotten about how I made my section for the Firework collaboration.
I used Flash CC to make all the animation. And Adobe After Effects for the…well..after effects (color changes and the like. All the fireworks were made default red and changed in post to fit the moods) ^_^
Jon himself was sketched up in roughs first to get the basic shapes and timing down. Once I was happy with the action, I cleaned up the roughs quite a bit to make sure my details would track.
Once the cleanup was done I went in frame by frame and did clean up, utilizing puppet symbols where it would be helpful (Mainly in Jon’s head to keep his mouth, nose and eyes aligned every time)
Once Jon’ was inked and painted I brought his swf files into After Effects, layered on Paper Textures to give it a touch of flavor, and worked in time with the music to change the colors of the fireworks and the background and even Jon himself to change the color scheme with the beat ^_^
And there we have… a baby dinosaur. … i mean…JonTron cartoon ^///^
Hope this helps to illuminate some of my steps in animation ^_^
and I hope you’re all doing wonderfully. I can’t wait to get back into my normal routine really soon! I’ve been talking with other Youtubers and I might even have some cartoons on the rise, in addition to more Dr. Pegasus stuff. Just juggling it all at the moment to make sure it all gets done, and right ^__^
Love you all,

Poor Phantasma, it looks like she could use some rest ^^; but responsibilities come with having a werewolf friend ^^ I have been searching for an ink brush that I really liked to use for my cleanup, and finally found one that I enjoyed the tooth of ^_^ Plus I really enjoyed how Winnie’s pose turned out in my pencil sketch, so I decided to try giving the piece a more finished touch to it ^^ I hope you’re all having a super lovely day! All my love, ~FtK
