Finished PMV - Crowpaw & Magpiepaw

Done at last and although it took way longer than anticipated (as per usual) it was nice putting in the extra effort into the bgs for once; I feel like I rarely get to do so! A labour of love and my goodness these to make me happy to draw when young,,,

I also always forget how long editing/comping these take, but I love seeing the layers come together when parallaxing and giving the 2d planes depth x)

Will be public either this or next weekend!

Catified arcane map part wips

Couldn’t resist partaking in a MAP focusing on my favourite show of all time >:) a very short one, albeit tricky with the rotating especially, but a super fun process so far!

Since I’ve been away I’ve still only had access to procreate for the effects animation, background etc as well as nomad sculpt for the weapon 3D model!

Super excited to get started on the characters soon tho...

Background processes - tutorial (3 types & comparisons!)

I recommend downloading/saving each png for an easier time properly zooming in and reading! Hope it’s easy enough to understand and that at least someone finds any of these useful! The names for each method are just made up, if there are proper terms for them I apologize cx

Feel free to comment questions and if you use/don’t use any of these methods already do let me know/tell me about your experiences with it/which other ways! Always a fun read C:

Rough storyboard - Blackbird (Crowsong)

SO some might remember a short snippet of this being shared many months back now & I recently got the urge to revisit and rework shots a bit to make the storytelling/understanding a bit better :>

It'll hopefully be a mix of PMV & Animation, this draft is still so insanely rough but it does it purpose of getting ideas down fast and efficient!

Would love love to start working on this ASAP but I do gotta push myself to wrap up Bl...

PMV wip update - We Are One

This project I've had laying around for some time felt like a perfect smaller project to fit in inbetween all the tedious fur animation, and as I can't see a future where I'd find time to actually animate this sequence as I originally wanted to; it fits nicely as a PMV instead!

I'll also be travelling to visit friends to do a fun cosplay workshop, so cranking out the bgs on procreate whilst away will be perfect! I'll also try and put together a lil step by step pictorial for bgs as well...

Meme WIP - When You're Close To Me

This trend is so stinking cute (and very quick & easy) so I just have to make one ft Omensky & Velvetquince with my own lil addition at the end

Shouldn't take more than an hour to color too, gotta love something easy to make inbetween the challening animating C:

Storyboard - Happy Halloween : Discord event

Spooky season is creeping upon us and I've always wanted to host a halloween themed event, thanks to discord voting input the choice of event became this!

-------

The intro, featuring my dog-sona Miette, Luna-firefly's Chai and RowdyMushMutt's Rowdy will be a collab between the three of us and the rest of the meme features participants (with a bonus pumpkinpatch in the outro)

The event will work and be published in a similar way to 2024-09-01 15:46:40 +0000 UTC View Post

Fur animation - walkthrough/breakdown

Facing burnout atm so I did a one take recording this time, not as great as I know I could do it and I will definitely try and cover it more in the future, like a live session or stream perhaps!

I still hope it gives at last some insight or better understanding of certain parts and the fur animation file is attached below as well c: I now challenge you guys to experiment with timing and fur types yourselves!!

Finished Crowsong PMV - When it all burns down

Avians and Birbs are usually tier exclusive for finished vids bUT as I managed to clean it up in 2 days I never rlly got around to show more wips beyond the first storyboard! So here it is for fledglings to watch early as well!!

Making of + pattern - Dungeon Meshi familiar

See photos of the completed plushies in this post and see the pattern files attached below!

The way I got patterns onto paper was simply importing them into my art program, making it the size I wanted on the screen and tracing baking sheet paper over it, however copyasting it onto an A4 format file & printing it in a size wanted works too!

The bigger version I did with old t-shirt mate...

Arts & crafts bundle

Been spending the majority of my time animating but here are a bunch of other finished works ranging from :

Commissions, an owed illustration of a pet bird (in return for some magpiewing voicelines for a future project), the finished Pickerpie plush (fully hand sewn + sculpted eyes), avian requests, the newest artbase

as well as a BG for Pure Imagination (collabed...

Front & back base

(note that this is a one layer base!)

The example ft Magpiewing was done in combo with the ref details base!

Another reference sheet-friendly base idea but which also of course works for adopts too! It wasn't intentional but it defo feels like an upgraded redraw of the standard cat adopt base too!

As much as I'd like to add onto it wit fur & accessories options idk if I can put m...

MAP, adopt, lore & comm wips!

With the Pure Imagination deadline creeping up I've been working on it like crazy now that I'm finally back home & good progress has been made!

I'm no longer in charge of bgs wich is a huge stress & burden lifted from my shoulders, but it means I can't show the full rendered shots in some time and so wips will have flat colors only as of right now!

I'll be able to show step by step wips from first pass to finished comp of some shots eventually too!

Eyes closed - scrapped AMV storyboard

HAD TO get this idea down when imgine dragons dropped 2 teaser songs from their newest album (and now I wanna use a different song from the fully released album way more LOL)

I don't think I'll ever get time to prioritze a more aesthetic based, non story related thing bUT it would be cool to get to finish someday! Missing some empty shots in it but here is a wip for now!

Traditional gifts + owed arts & final artfight batch

Woo back to regular posting, first post of August with much more fun to come!

Närcon was marvelous and it brought me joy getting to gift these traditional pieces!

Artfight bundle

(very last slide is horror related so put it way over there just in case!)

The grind has been continous even during my London trip! It means double speedpaint bundle coming next month for these as well c: Been having so so much fun trying new things for a lot of these!

Circular, simpler bust icons are something I've thought of implenting as commission types in the future so getting to try around with more has been great!

Artbase - 4th wall break

Finally got around to make this idea a reality, I think it would be so fun as toyhou.se pagedolls or discord stickers!!

A long way to go still but this is still many many days of work and I'm happy with how it's coming along!

I'm really pouring my heart and soul into this outro so albeit this isn't a very efficient way to tell her story long term I'm happy to go all in on at least one sliiightly longer animation!

Those who've seen the first storyboard version may have noticed one shot has been fully changed! I felt the new one fit better and would be more fun to animate too c:
