Eaurp Guz Rocks!

WIP and details in the read-more:

This one had a bit of a false start. For the life of me I couldnt' get the motion right.

The gif's pacing was all wrong, the hair started out not moving so it wouldn't have looped right... it looked jittery... i just didnt like it. (she's lip syncing to "saturn five" by inspiral carpets in this one. i ended up not doing any mouth movements in the final one)

so i had a play around with some sine and -cosine charts to figure out where the body and hair should be. I ended up not really using the -cos chart for the hair and just kinda animated the hair to what felt right, but using the sine wave for the body position helped a lot, and it meant i could reuse several frames for the body animation (they would be differentiated by what the hair is doing of course).

This test image uses only 8 frames instead of 12 and looks a little clunky, both because of the smaller amount of frames and also because of which positions are shown in each frame. i also made a 12 frame version (like the final version), which did look a lot smoother, but i didn't save it.

applying a sine wave like movement to Guz's head and body and then fixing the arms resulted in a much more natural, consistent, and easy to loop animation.

so i added the hair jiggling and a little hand movement to imply scribbling in some shading. The hair jiggling is honestly the most fun part.

her body was too stiff, so i um. i made it um. jiggle. and um. yeah it uh. it was too much. lol.

so i basically just averaged it, frame by frame, with the previous version.

Doing the glitter/bubbles visible in the final version was a challenge. I decided that since the hair was moving so wildly, the glitter in it could be essentially random in each frame and it wouldn't really matter. But the glitter on the face had to track with her face or it would look strange. I solved that problem by drawing the glitter on the first frame, then drawing two white dots over the eyes, and aligning the dots with the eyes for every frame (which is similar to how I aligned the highlights).

finally, here's the "concept art" (which i repurposed for the first frame)

and here's the drawing of the Saturn V rocket Guz was making (which i showed in another post). And did you notice that the earphone she's using is the one Uhura uses in TOS? :)

Guz is enamored with the space exploration histories of many worlds, but the ones with large moons (or the ones that are large moons), are her favorite. Imagine not having to wait months for interplanetary maneuvering, or decades for close encounters with your coorbital giant planet.

I drew my sister's(@whirligig-girl) star trek lower decks OC in the fortress of solitude with Jon being infodumped to and loving it. They're autism bonding.

Textless below the cut

This took 2 hrs 50 minutes! I had to rest my wrist a bit but I'm not having a flare day so I've been able to draw :)

Hello, um, Tendi.

I'm still a total beginner at animation. This took a ton of work and I'm not completely happy with the result, but it was a fun experiment.

As a lower decker, Ensign Eaurp Guz doesn't have a lot of space for a model railroad. Arguably she could fit like a shelf layout precariously above her tub-bunk, but that's where she keeps some of her model spaceships. So instead, she builds larger scale model engines and runs them on the holodeck. Here's a roughly G gauge model of a Slopspit & Southern Class 80 "Easy"-type 2-6-0 steam engine with decorative smoke baffles. Like most of her models it's built with function in mind, so it's live steam.

Guz's model rockets and spacecrafts are either run in the holodeck, or in certain conditions on shoreleave or staged out of the shuttlebay on actual spaceflights. For example, the Orion Nuclear Pulse Rocket from Guzcomic was planned to make a round trip between Douglas Station and the planet's moon, DbII before it went and exploded itself, and the lunar lander she'd built for the Apollo 11 anniversary was going to actually land on the Moon.

When she can fully recover her models, she keeps them in storage and rotates them in the display above her tub-bunk.

Guz also has plans for a proper model railroad which would replicate a colliery circa 2350 with a late example of a revenue-earning steam locomotive in approximately HO-ish gauge, but it would require having her own quarters.

She's also kicking around plans to make a 1:4800 scale layout which would fit on a microscope slide.

Hi I drew Guz I just think she's neat

IM SMILING SO BIG RIGHT NOW THIS IS SOOOOO GOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE THE BACKGROUND TOO! The wall looks like something in the repair bay or some kinda engineering-related set. The LCARS on the console, the, what is that, some kinda isolinear server rack? the lil tricorder...

GUZ IS SO CUTE HERE! She's absolutely recognizable! You got her lil hair drip and everything! And she's translucent too! Aaaugughhghhh I LOVE IT!

I also love your Mari'lyn kissing fanart!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

Mellanus belongs to the Dominion. Earth is a smouldering ruin. Orion just surrendered. The LCARS displays say this is the battleship Cerritos. Tendi what did you DO?

I love Guz so much I legitimately forgot she wasn't canon for a second. I was writing a list of Lower Decks characters and I wrote Guz down before remembering. She's canon in my heart I love the silly Autistic slime girl

what do u mean she's totally canon :o

redraw of this comic

#Eaurp Guz #Slimegirl #D'vana Tendi #Tendi #the original comic is fanart for something called dungeon meshi i think #i dont know anything about it except that the artist who drew that great mari'lyn kissing fanart and guz fanart really likes it #and so it gets reblogged onto my timeline #but im stealing it its a comic about MY blorbos now #wlw #femslash #OC #star trek oc #original character #art #digital art #comic

Eaurp Guz works on her model Ares MAV rocket while D'vana Tendi reads a paper regarding a new, higher resolution map of the Interstellar Medium in the former Delphic Expanse. Is definitely what is going on here.

Here's a little comic from Eaurp's first time on a spaceship in actual space, the ISMT-47 Violet, which brought her from Mellanus to Starfleet Academy on Earth.

About 40% of mellanoid slime worms react to experiencing zero gee for the first time by losing their skeleton and collapsing into a blob as a way to minimize damage from crashing into the ground. You get used to it and eventually it's not a problem anymore. Guz would have dealt with this on a zero-gee trainer airplane if she had stayed in the space program, or experienced it in a training simulation in Earth Orbit or a holosuite at Starfleet Academy, but the Violet's crew like to make sure passengers from backwater worlds get their space legs as soon as possible.
