~Brief descriptions of the animation process below the cut~
First pass with testing out the placements and eye darts first. I edited his eye shape a lot after this coz it was too big here xD His tattoo isn't properly masked as well yet
Second pass with the new eye shape >u< Testing out his smaller eye in this and making sure the pupil doesn't clip through his smaller eyelids
Third pass, eye squinttsss. I don't use plugins for my animation though, I just brute force it via a combo of position, rotation and puppet pins xD
Fourth pass with more detailed and subtle eye movements. If you squint and stare hard enough you can actually see subtle deformation for his eyelashes to have a smoother animation with the delays and drag
Fifth pass, I gave him a subtle up and down movement with his body as if from breathing but you can't really see it unless you've been staring at it as long as I have xD But it does help subconsciously to not make him feel as static. Bigger head movement for this too where he shifts position. Started parts of his hair animation too. There's puppet pins as well in his hair to do the wave motion for it alongside rotations.
Sixth pass, wheeee he got all his fluffeh hair moving x3 I animated each strand to be on the same timing first then slowly offset the keyframes one by one so that they all move on different timings for it.
Seventh pass, last WIP pass I saved before the completed one. He got yet another expression shift for this. I'm pretty happy with how he's quite flexible in his expressions from just manipulating the puppet pins and my many many layers to built him xD Annddd that's all, thanks for reading >u< / <3
Bonus note, animating in After Effects will eat your PC like nobody's business x'D 46GB just for the damn cache omggggggg It was worth animating Sukuna though~

BLU-RAY EPISODE DROPPED AND DHAKJDGSAD I am freaking out over the animation for that Sukuna VS Maharoga fight again. IT IS SO GOOD DHAKSDS I just spat out two Sukuna sketches after that animation high I just witnessed hfakjsdf
Pls man, treat your animators better ;v; Look at what can be achieved with more time hnnnnnnnnnn
Haaaaaaaaaa...it only took me about 2 months to finally complete it with colour ahahaha I purposely tried to colour each one in with a slightly different rendering style and that certainly ate into time as I figured out what were the different ways I coloured. It ranges from cel shading to a more painted one but it was certainly a fun challenge to see what I can do x3
Originally done for a meme drawing challenge on FB where friends would give me outfits to draw my OCs in.
Cool collab I did with Blinky for their upcoming piece HYPER II on Ponies at Dawn: Blossom >u< Revisited an old rendering style I did for them last time on their old Hyper from their Funfair album~
Mom: So, are you finally going to draw another CNY wallpaper for me, ah? Can draw Sukuna and Chirpy-chi sitting on the dragon flying in the sky!
Me:
Me:
Me: what
Mom: Because Sukuna is your fav character and Chirpy is your mascot mah!
Thanks, mom for being supportive of me but I honestly highly doubt she knows how villainous Sukuna is but here he is being chibi and unassuming in my art again xD So yes, this art happened because she wanted a new iPad wallpaper uvu <3
Don't think too hard, it's just a random fun thing I quickly threw up for the occasion x'D
It's 2024 on this side of the world wheeeeeeeee and it's this chaotic thing that has the honour of gracing my blog as the first thing I drew for the new year pfffff
Just Sukuna hijiacking what was supposed to be my OCs' post fhjaksdf
It's that time of the year again for art summary >u<
Really happy with how I managed to get back to drawing more and I've made some big pieces again this year that I'm really proud of. Also more OC art this year yassss! Which was my goal I set for myself after neglecting them for so long ahahaha
Also also! I'm glad I tried out ink for the end of the year because I had a lot of fun with using it and playing with the textures that I could bring out~
Just wanted to see them all together before the year ends, I only included the notable ones I've been using for the past year. Yes, some of them hop universe quite a bit like Sapphire x'D
Sadly, the Pokemon Trainers and Mystery Dungeon ones are likely to be benched for the foreseeable future because the ARPG groups I was using them in is no longer active/I've left the group due to busy schedules ;u;
Yuujiiiiii ;A; Poor boi barely gotten a break since Shibuya alsosdjdn [Ink used] Kyo No Otu -Hiso Ku- Troublemaker -Starry Night- Blue Troublemaker Shimmer Series -Polar Lights-
