So I watched A Space Odyssey a bit ago. Personally, I enjoyed it! Mainly the discovery part of the movie, and I like the novels better. I've always liked books more than movies, to be fair, but the books explain whats going on quite nicely.
Anyways, I was thinking… Aliens building things trying to help humanity? Monolith? Train? Maybe? Wormholes? AIs? AU! Here's some doodles from that train of thought :P
Is there a word for positive ranting? Because ima do that. A while ago, probably a few months, a made a little animatic. By little a mean minute long.
I have a habit of never finishing things, but lately i've been trying to break that habit. I start things then get distracted and do other things, or i get a decent way through them and then decide 'if i can't make it perfect i shouldn't make it at all'.
which is silly.
So i figured i'd never do anything with the animatic. Then a month later i made all the backgrounds because why not? I had fun making them, too. turns out snow is kind of fun to color.
Then i left it alone, then a month~ later i picked it up again and animated it all. I actually animated it! Then i carefully left it alone for a few days before coming back to render it.
I could go on a rant about rendering. At first a rendered all of the pieces in a few parts because i thought i could do transparent layers and separate effects on each layer, but blender didn't like that, so no.
So i had to re-render EVERYTHING and slap that together and render it, because for some reason i really had it planned to render everything in parts? Probably for effects and stuff but it still didn't work.
Anyways it took a few days, and i genuinely pondered how many people, like i had, stared at a screen in dismay solely because of compositing.
But i rendered everything and added in the effects i wanted, which was hard because i had to learn the basics of compositing and GOD it took so long to render! I just left my computer on and went to bed-
But i finished it! Sure it took months of on and off work but i did it! I finished something and i'm so proud of it. If i could, i'd hang it up on my wall, but alas, you can't capture the beauty of animation in a single frame.
Here it is, it's infinity train :)
me every couple months for the past 4 years
Yaaayy i finally finished this! I think it's pretty good! I'm completely unbiased ;)
(But also I genuinely like it :)
Made a simple cover of Housewife Radio with SynthV Mai. Also some fanart! The Amelia fanart is totally unrelated. (I secretly want to make an infinity train animation to house wife radio.)
Here's the cover
I just remembered I never posted this-- i meant to do that right after i finished it not months later lol
Here is my idea of what a Calamity Darcy could look like!
They're wireless! They have beetle wings! The calamity gem floats between their antlers.
They're some combination of Marcy's calamity form, Darcy's suit, and a beetle/scorpion.
I was originally going to add in some 'Onychocerus albitarsis', uh, beetle scorpion. I don't remember why I didn't. I remember thinking about adding white spots to the wings. Maybe the colors just didn't work out?
Anyways I like this design! :)
Also a version without the wings, and a version without the wings and fur and 'skirt thingy that was originally going to be a different pair of wings but i'm not sure what it even is anymore'.
Brain storming doodles I found
I binge watched all of Amphibia a few days ago. I decided to try out a new art style i've been wanted to do for like a year now!
Sure, I had like 90 layers by the time I was done because I refuse to merge layers for some inexplicable reason, but I really like it :)
Here it is!
and the background and a version without the X
I liked the show, Marcy is my favorite character lol
Tulip - A garlic-immune vampire! (A vampire that loves garlic, at that!) She's going to use her lack of reflection to freak someone out. (the blood is jam, I promise)
One-one - One, with the power of electrical tape. It's going to freak Amelia out so bad
Atticus - Mustard! or stinktaill? I'm just imagining what they looked like. Maybe they dressed like doggy knights! Or something? Part of the royal doggo guard?
I suspect no one in their right mind would ever read my last post fully, so here's a shortened version:
I finished a project i've been working on, on and off, for months! I'm super proud of it, here it is. :)
Main blog - I animate and draw! And make music :)I have a YT channel! For animations and stuff:https://www.youtube.com/@JayyOkayyAnd music, just covers for now, but I just need to work up the courage to post my own stuff!:https://www.youtube.com/@Jay_Okay_but_Music
