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
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
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 :)
I was watching Infinity Train episode 3 book 1, as one does, and I noticed something! :D
I know they reused a few scenes from the pilot, such as the silhouette of the three walking up the mountain, or One-One jumping out of the bush.
But I noticed in the scene where Atticus attacks the steward (9:17), the giant hole from the meteor the steward was trying to fix in the pilot is shown!
I'm surprised I didn't notice before! It was a quick shot though.
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
A while ago I was coming up with idea of some infnity train portal au- I was calling it 'Apreture Train'. I got distracted by other stuff but I figured maybe i should at least post these drawings I did of it!
I had the general story down too! And a rough draft of chapter one? maybe i'll finish it one day! :)
Had this idea in my head for a week!
And a version without the cracks on One/One-One:
One looks like such a cool robot, I hope nothing bad every happens to him! <3
I need book five so bad.
I used this website to make the BSOD, it's a neat little site :)
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
