Hei there demons. It is I, ya boi

A while ago I considered making a trivia-like video about the assets I've made for Killer In Purple 2, and maybe show off unused content as well as asset details you probably don't see in-game. Instead I'm posting here!

Part 1: THE VERY FIRST MODEL

I was approached by the dev of Killer in Purple 2, GoldieEntertainment (GFC) after showing off some voxel art I've made in a mobile app called Fancade, and invited to join in on helping expand on Killer In Purple 2. I was like heck yeah let's get this bread!

I downloaded a mobile voxel app called Mega Voxels that actually lets users export their creations, which is exactly what I needed! All set!

My first task was making a new model for the kid NPC that was being used in the game at the time, which was made by Goldie... on Blender according to him, if I recall correctly?

(video thumbnail)

It was also the only kid model in the game at the time.

Looking at it and the rest of the game at the time, I tried to stick to the "blocky aesthetic" it had going on. I started with the head/face.

(don't mind the ads, you can't escape them nowadays.)

When I showed it to GFC he pointed out its "soulless stare" 😂😂😂 And I was not fully satisfied with the result either. So I went on from there.

I decided to retain the blockiness but also making use of more color shades in order to smooth the edges and give it more personality. After some back and forth of experimenting and tweaking, this was the final result:

The little kiddy face we've all become familiar with! If you pay attention you'll see the eyes are still pretty much a square, with a tiny bit of different color shades surrounding it to give the illusion it's rounded, plus different pupil placement to curb the "soulless stare."

The hair is basic, based off GFC's original model while also drawing slightly inspiration from the sprites of Crying Child from FNAF 4.

"But Jelly," you ask, "what about the rest of the model, like the body? That's just a head." Well, I say: DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD! We're about to get there! (im funny i swear)

The body was surprisingly very straightforward; I tried to keep in mind where the original model was segmented and tried to stick to the same segmentation with the new body. I tried to keep the original clothing when coloring as well.

And here we have one (1) full boye, asserting his dominance!

(The solid green spots were to help GFC see where the different pieces connect, which he could easily color over once they served their purpose.)

Keep this fine young lad in mind, y'all, since he'll go on to also become the base for just about every other child character in the game. I made such choice to make things easier and faster for GFC; that way he could apply pretty much the same rigging and animations to them with minimal modifications, to save time.

Giving the characters different expressions was something that came only later once GFC figured out a way to do it, but it was something I had already been thinking about. He asked me to give the kids a small select of facial expressions; aside from the pre-existing neutral smile, I was also tasked with giving them a scared face for when they see William with the knife out or witness a kill, and a dead face for when... well, when William gives them the ultimate BONK on the head, I guess.

Scared is pretty straightforward, but what would be a dead expression? There are many ways one could go about it. So rather than making one, I made several dead faces with different designs, and left it up to GFC to pick up the "winner."

First is the default neutral smile, second is scared, and all remaining ones are different dead expressions.

I went for combinations of blank faces, empty/hollowed out eyes, tear marks matching the well-known children spirits in FNAF, as well as the cartoony X'd out eyes, which wound up being GFC's pick.

And with that we wrap up for now. These were my first steps in helping Killer In Purple 2 slowly become what it is now and my first contributions to the game (with the exception of the different expressions which we went for after a substantial amount of work.)

It all started with this little guy and his former soulless stare!

Stay tuned for whenever I decide to make new posts talking about other assets! ❤

Question. Do you have any specific resources you used to learn art and painting, etc?? Your style and skill is so so good and I'd love to see how you Do It

oh, gosh. i dont think i could ever answer this question in a truly satisfying manner, but i’ll try my best to do it!

learning art in general has just been a road of trial and error for me! looots of trial and error. im a ‘self-taught’ artist & i’ve been drawing since i was a toddler, so i’ve accumulated certain skills just bc i’ve been doing it for so dang long

that being said, i’ll share some links in a moment! but first, some advice from me to you, anon. just.. go wild. try new things and dont set too many rules for yourself, yknow what i mean? nowadays i tend to use lots of weird textured brushes + work on only one layer (which i hear is quite bad for when youre working on commissions, but i paint for myself so i dont gotta worry about correcting things all the time), and as a person struggling w/ a pretty severe case of OCD, i find it so liberating to be Forced to not give a shit through that painting method. just have fun! allow yourself to be messy, to make mistakes, and remember that you can just paint over them later. some of your ‘mistakes’ might even end up being the things that make your drawing look more interesting/organic, in the end! the ‘happy little accidents’ mindset just makes the whole process much more enjoyable imo :]

ALSO, an important thing to me was finding the right brushes for painting. just dl a shit ton of the ones that look fun to you (or make your own if your drawing program allows it!) and make an effort to try out each and every one of them at least once!! the brushes certainly arent that important-- you could paint a masterpiece with a simple square brush-- but more often than not i find my style being subtly influenced by the brushes that i use at the moment. its a thing worth considering!

another thing i should note is that, while im mostly happy with my art nowadays, i AM still learning, and i dont think i’ll ever stop learning, so, like, check in in a couple of years for some better tips i guess asuhdfuashfusdf

anyways, here are some resources that are/were very helpful to me:

when i need to browse for general art tips/tutorials/cheat sheets/etc, i usually go here: [link 1], [link 2], [link 3], [link 4], [link 5],

now, here are some specific posts ive collected over the years that really made me rethink how i approach composition and the like in my, uh, more ‘serious’ paintings: [link 1], [link 2], [link 3], [link 4], [link 5]

this [link] video series is a Godsend, its got some very good advice AND its got nice editing too, my hellbrain was actually able to focus and learn smth from a video tutorial for once

heres a nice post about practice and improvement that you should deffo read before using all of these resources

i also find it very helpful to just.. look at art that inspires you/ that you find appealing Right before painting? that way all of the techniques you might pick up while staring at other peoples art will stay fresh in your mind, so you’ll be more likely to try em out. (setting a drawing that you really like as a phone/desktop bg works well too since youll inevitably stare at it quite often)

i also really like seeing other peoples process, so i tend to watch speedpaints/analyse process gifs & photosets a lot! seeing how messy and abstract most drawings are in the early stages of painting is really comforting/reassuring to me :] heres a couple for u: [link 1], [link 2], [link 3], [link 4], [link 5], [link 6], [link 7], [link 8], and finally, [link 9] and [link 10] (3, 9 and 10 are the ones that inspire me the most atm)

as a bonus, heres one from me as well! (usually i only post these on my patreon, but ik times are tough rn and any of your spare money could (and should) go to a far better cause) im putting it under a read more bc it contains blood and self-impalement, so beware! (bloodborne bosses, man) i might make a speedpaint in the future, too, so watch out for that!

#good luck!#hope you have fun :]#Anonymous #gif #blood

Hi again!!! I'm back at it again with my unconditional love and support!!! You're an amazing artist like honestly it suprises how incredible you are!! Not only that but your edits are incredibly well done and your writing is really really Good!!!! I hope that you continue to do what you do and know that I will continue to support you!!!!! Lots of love💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜-Slyy

Again, thank you Slyy💚💚💚

But I'm gonna be honest with you-- I don't think so. I think a lot of my art is actually really bad, my edits are mediocre at best, and my writing is...well it definitely needs a lot of work.

Honestly? I'm thinking of giving up this whole social media thing. I dont think I'm cut out for it. It's just too much. At this point i dont even know what I'm doing. Every time my art seems to get better, there's nothing to show for it. And it usually doesn't last, either. I'm seriously thinking about just disappearing off the face of the earth one of these days.

My pride edits are trashy, lets be honest. They're too messy and unclean. Too low res. I could prob get better at it if I tried, but why would I? Ya know? It's just so meaningless in the first place.

And my writing? The syntax is so bad. It doesn't flow well at all. Plot-wise, I think I'm pretty good. But a story can only survive if it's written well, and the sentence structure really takes away from what my stories could be. Every scene could hit deeper in the feels if i could just find the right grammar and writing style, but I can never think hard/well enough to get there.

I really dislike everything I'm doing right now. Its fun in the moment, i guess, sometimes, but afterwards it's just awful and i never have the motivation or the talent to fix anything once it's done with. I just go "that's good enough" and "no ones gonna care anyway" and move on but that also feels really bad, but everything i make feels bad afterwards, and when it does somehow feel good and like I achieved something great, it doesn't do well online. It's a never ending loop of disappointment.

Nowadays it's gotten harder and harder for me to feel good at all. I'm sad all the time. Like, all the time. It's very rare that i feel good. It's either a vague numbness with a sadness layered under it or its just full on depression, no in between. Even when things are going alright. Even after I've finished a satisfying task, like doing the dishes or finishing a bunch of art- it's only satisfying for maybe two minutes afterwards and then I feel really bad again.

And going back and reading my old writings isn't helping either, cause most of my stuff was only written three weeks ago and already im over critical of them and really don't care for them. They just read bad. And I want to rewrite them but i don't have the energy or motivation to do them and as soon as I do have motivation and sit down, when I look at the page filled with words i just get really unmotivated again and in my head.

Basically, everything's awful.

I'm prob not gonna delete my blog or actually stop posting here. I have a lot of art stored up to post, but when I'm out of those then I'm probably just gonna be out and if I make anything worth posting I'll probably post it whenever. But I dunno. This social media thing isn't for me. I'm too weak-hearted. I dunno...

I might stick to posting memes

#there's a lot of think pieces i agree with in my likes that ill probably post #i also have a lot of hot takes that i cant post too that'll get me QuotE in trouble QuotE #followers #tw depressive #tw depressing thoughts #depression #ask #it got especially bad this morning and i mean REALLY bad like suicdl ideation bad #i thoight i should maybe tell someone about it so im telling you guys #but if you actually did read all of that- dont get weird about it. i dont need to be patronized #also been feeling VERY HEIGHTENED art envy-- like super heightened its very bad

guess whos just doing this for fun!!!!!!!!! answers under cut

1. digital.. i can do traditional sketches but beyond that…

2. pretty much since i was a little baby kid? but ive only been posting art on tumblr since like. one or two years ago? i think only one year

3. beyond middle and elementary art classes, one. and i never will again. i hate drawing and art classes!!!!!!!! that shit sucks!!!!

4. tumblr, instagram & twitter. its all in the pinned post babey. although when i was younger i had a deviantart but uh. we dont need to talk abt that

5. oh just people!!!!! people are fun to draw!!

6. arms raising in any sort of way why is the body like that. hands i can handle. legs and feet i can handle. arms raised? no.

7. less than i should.. i try to and i want to but im also so lazy. too much work.. references make everything easier tho so if u draw use them

8. just for fun. altho if u want to pay me for my art just let me know :) . i have considered doing it professionally but i get burnt out and unmotivated easily. and also if i had to draw professionally i would actually hate art forever

9. uh. very little. my current drawing set up that i had is Unavailable so its destroyed any comfortable drawing i can do. its also why i hadnt posted any art until last weekend. im working on figuring out a new set up. but even before that i dont draw everyday, thats tiring !!

10. sort of? kind of? idk people will always be better at u than something and people will always be worse at something than u thats just life. i like bits and pieces of my art and i dislike other parts. i dont like showing my art to strangers in real life !!

11. a lot!! i think. i dont keep track of who i follow that much? i do on twitter but on tumblr…. ive had this blog for like 6 years thats too much to keep track of.

12. absolutely!!! altho u may have to elaborate.. my process sometimes changes based on what im drawing

13. uhhh i like drawing for others but if im drawing shit for myself then it typically stays in the For Myself area. i have over 800 canvases in procreate and ive only posted like. 150 drawings. most of the stuff i draw is for myself.

14. i dont think i have ever collaborated but i wouldnt mind it i guess? if i ever did it was with my friends like years ago

15. 2-4 hours. up to ten or twenty hours if its something longer or bigger. that multipart bioshock piece took around 12-14 hours and it was a couple of days.

16. i draw less but i do more fully finished pieces now. its mostly just circumstance. in class i always doodle and draw but since i havent had proper classes in a year and a half i havent really been drawing as much. but i do have more time which means i can finish pieces more easily

17. uh. i guess? it depends what theyre drawing? like if its people then i think i could give advice but.. idk i only give advice if asked to? and i dont really think about it?

18. side profiles last night lol.. i think ive figured it out??? in general im still trying to find a way to finish pieces that im satisfied with. like with lining and coloring i mean.

19. backgrounds. easily. that shit is annoying!!!!!! nightmare hell realm and all that

20. hair i guess! its pretty simple for me and i like doing it

21. uhhhhhhhhhhhhh…………. sort of? i like trying things and improving so………. i guess.

22. yes. i like to compare my old art to my new art! i actually have sketches from forever ago that ill go back and redo just to see the differences! its funny thinking abt it bc at the time of drawing ill be like. I Am Superior To My Previous Selves and then the next time i look at it im like. what the fuck is wrong with that little guy

23. more original art definitely!! my original art folder has over 400 pieces and any other folders has like. 100 or less

24. depends! mostly inspired nowadays. i mimic artstyles that i like a lot of the time and it helps expand upon what i already have. i am an amalgamation of things i love and enjoy. i dont really get jealous about art anymore

25. with music, podcasts, videos, anything really! i cant draw and talk tho. i cant really read or write while listening to stuff. sometimes im able to put on music and read or write but if i have to concentrate too much then i turn off the music lol

26. i use procreate!!! like. exclusively.

27. uhh around 20-40 layers depending on how complicated im making it? layers all get merged at the end

28. -

29. -

30. other artists!!!! other art!!!!! i will just see the most pretty things and im like. i want that!!!!!!!! that’s pretty and beautiful!!!!!!! i have an entire folder dedicated to just. pretty art. thats also the entirety of my saved photos but. uh. anyways yeah!!!!!! other people’s art makes me want to do art because its inspiring and nice!!!!!!!!!! mwah @ other artists

#astral’s star drops #artist asks #will probably rb onto my art blog

Sometimes i remember i drew 300 comic pages just becuase i wanted to tell a story

And then i remember that its been like a year since i posted more and that.... no one really minded

And i get a bit sad, cause my ocs mean the world to me but my brain, my body and depression has gotten to the point where im unnable to work like i used to do and i can barely construct coherent thoughts nowadays

So sometimes i start thinking "how if i quit art and stop feeding myself the delusion that my art is worth enough to keep me alive?, why dont i just grow up and accept my dreams and aspirations are childish as best and a fantasy at worst? Why cant i just act like a normal adult, finish my law degree and work on that field? Sure... i hate law and i hate conflict and i hate everything related to that but its good money, why cant i accept im just a regular person and not someone special and that my talents are mediocre at best?"

And it gets depressing really fast, cause i dont wanna quit art, its the only thing i care enough about to keep doing

So sometimes i write super bummed out, and depressed and just.... ugh it pisses me off, my own sadness pisses me off so much, i really want someone to tell me my art is worth it, i wanna feel its special in a way, even tho i know its not

But also why do i need recognition? Why do i need praise? Cant i just do it cause i want to? Cant i just indulge myself? Why is it so bad to want to do stuff just for myself and why do i get so sad about it not getting recognition?

What is wrong with me?

Why does everything i make have to make others happy?, why cant i just be satisfied with stuff existing because i made it?

I feel something is breaking inside of me, i cant even work in commissions cause i start feeling frustrated cause im working on stuff that isnt for me and i find myself unable to motivate myself, that isnt normal.... that is fucking weird as hell

And i tell my therapist and he doesnt really know what to tell me other than "just sit and do it" and im always wondering if i explain wrong, im not looking for excuses to not do it, im looking for advice to help me motivate myself to work harder, cause it sucks not being able to deliver the best work u could do, just sitting myself and forcing me to do it feels unfair cause the final products are usually not as good as i could had done it had i been motivated

I know im capable of doing fantastic pieces once inspiration kicks in, but i find it more and more hard to even get inspire nowadays

I dont know.... something is not right with me, but im afraid to go to a psychiatrist and have all my issues trivialized, and im afraid of turning into a zombie again, being able to do what everyone expects of me but unable to do what i feel joy with my characters

I think i can only work with extreme emotions now, everything mild, everything that feels "normal" freaks me out and i trigger myself or find ways to get into a fight or to get yelled at

And i know it sounds edgy and stupid "i dont do normal" like if i was a emo riverdale character or some shit, but i really cant work with mild emotions, i cant work with happy feelings or with mild contempt moments, i need to feel so extreme that the emotions overpower me and force me to draw or die

And its not healthy, i have so many white hairs in my head now its unreal, i cant sleep and my pancreas is so done with my levels of stress that it started failing and gave me diabetes

I am so scared of the future, i am so depressed in the present and i feel so nostalgic for the past, cause at least now with perspective i feel like i had a bit more control and at least i feel that i certainly was valid back then, but nowadays i just feel so confused and done with everything im exhausted

Ugh..... i am really losing my mind... its not even quarentine stuff, i guess the fear of death and the fear of the unknown had just amplified this feelings but i been feeling this wack for years now

I am not sure what im doing or what i feel, and im scared that everyone else was right about me and i am wrong about myself

I dont know man, im tired of emotions and feeling like shit

3, 4, 8, 21, 28, 31, 32, 36 aaaand 38 (mwahahaha was it on purpose? idk but now i challenge you on this last one 😂)

3. Who/what inspires your graphics / gifs?

hmm my mutuals inspire me a lot to edit, also when i see cool designs at random places i think ‘maybe this would look nice in a graphic’ and if i remember i try to make it work

4. What do you enjoy about making graphics / gifs?

honestly nowadays there isn’t really anything i enjoy about it,, making icons can be fun i guess,,,

8. Your favourite graphic and or gif created by yourself

i really liked the gentaro graphic and the gon gifset also the hawks coloring (funny enough they were the easiest to make lol)

21. How much time do you spend on a single graphic / gif?

it really depends!! sometimes just an hour sometimes eight whole hours x_x mostly cause i keep remaking it until im satisfied (or just give up and let it be ugly, which happens a lot)

28. Advice for any beginner graphic / gif makers?

always look up tutorials!! everywhere!! even if its something basic you might learn useful stuff that could help you making something else (does this make sense ???) and download a lot of resources (but also learn how to properly use them)

31. The most notes a graphic / gif of yours has ever gotten.

2.9k on this deku + dadmight gifset lol (i rarely get more than 1k or 2k on my edits)

32. The least notes a graphic / gif of yours has ever gotten that you feel deserves way more.

the gentaro graphic?? the gentaro graphic. but at the same time i understand the hypmic fandom barely exists here on tumblr rip

36. Graphic makers, how do you get started on a graphic? (How do you get an idea!)

usually i start by watching the episodes / looking for official art, then i take a look at my resources (textures, pngs) and then at the folder where i keep all the edits that inspire me. when i have an idea of what it will look like i open ps

38. Are you working on anything right now? If yes, show us a work in progress!

yup im working on a request but i feel like i shouldnt post it?? aaaa just a lil part of it..

ask a graphic / gif maker

#AMIGA EU VOU ARRANCA TEU COURO #NAO ACREDITO QUE VOCE ME FEZ POSTAR ISSO AAAAAAA #afeus #answered #ask game #ocarinnas

Can I ask how you and Artsy met? Your friendship amuses me and I must know the origin story.

Huh, this is an unexpected but sweet question. I’ll try and give you a better origin story than “We talked and conversations kept getting bigger.” Artsy, you know to just ask and I’ll take this down.

Alright, so once upon a time I saw the movie Trolls. Everybody here remember that movie? Good, it’s important to the story. So after I saw it, the first thing I did, like I do with anything, is check the tumblr tag. There was plenty of art, including Artsy’s, so like. I was familiar with them. I knew of their existence. I didn’t actually follow any Trolls blogs because? I didn’t WANT my blog to become a Troll pit wasteland?? This backfired eventually and I gave in. Behold, the wasteland you see today. It’s beautiful.

So, I started my fic. It was going okay and I still checked the “Trolls” and “Broppy” tag like obsessively. And then, I came across Artsy’s human designs. And they were brilliant, undoubtedly they were brilliant. But I was still very scared. There was a ton of headcanons, these guys were clearly very VERY well thought out. And at the time, I was afraid that they were so good, I might end up subconsciously stealing ideas from it. I’m terrified of stealing ideas, even accidentally. Like I was afraid somebody was gonna call me out for ripping the ideas off whether it be Artsy (who, at the time, I knew nothing about but I believed they wouldn’t like their ideas stolen) or a fan of Artsy’s or whoever. I didn’t know anybody in this fandom, I was scared and I was shy. So I avoided anything related to them. Like Artsy’s ideas were so good, that I avoided them. In hindsight, how stupid is that? I was a fucking idiot tbh.

But at this point I had given up on that “No Trolls on my blog” philosophy and was following plenty of trolls blogs. During this early stage, I had 2 fanarts, both by frootpunch and I was pretty sure that was about as much art as I was gonna get (we’ve come a long way, buddy) So I’m pretty sure chapter 8 had just come out and I was scrolling my dash anD FUCK I DIED. So, one trolls blog that I followed reblogged Artsy’s first illustration of my fic. So yeah, turns out ask-artsy-oncie is ALSO Artsy Laverne, who was the first person to bookmark the fic. TheY KNEW ABOUT THE FIC THE WHOLE DAMN TIME AND I WAS STUPID AND I DIDN’T NOTICE THAT IM SORRY

So yeah, they apparently liked my fic well enough, did a drawing of it and didn’t hate me, so like, that was a relief.

I mentioned their art in the notes of the next chapter and felt that I should explain myself but also acknowledge them as the great artist that they are cuz like, they been churning out the human AU content, give Artsy some props.

After that, Artsy followed me, sent me an ask and assured me that it would be okay to use their headcanons if I wanted to. So like, another relief. I didn’t have to worry about any accidental theft. I followed them back. Things were fine.

We didn’t actually interact until I posted...fuck whatever chapter it was. The one where Branch and Poppy go on their date. So, they messaged me and asked if I wanted to see the sketches they did of the chapter and of course, I was delighted. There was a very long discussion after that and the sketches were later coloured and posted.

I don’t really remember how often we talked after that. It wasn’t every day but it was occasional. I specifically remember Artsy very politely asking if I would like to see a borderline NSFW drawing that they did and that they wouldn’t want to make me uncomfortable. Let’s compare this to nowadays where we get stuff like

Artsy: *In the middle of the fucking day, completely unprompted* wHAT IF GUY DIAMOND WAS CIRCUMCISED

Listen, completely out of nowhere headcanons from Artsy are great and I love them. They have led to wonderous scenarios.

But yeah, alright. So, we sometimes talked in tumblr messaging although there wasn’t nearly as much trolls-related chatter. It was difficult for Artsy on mobile so we started using skype instead. and tHEN THE TROLLS CHATTER BEGAN. Things eventually got to shit-posting level conversation which tbh, is the kind of conversation that anyone should strive for with a friend. They send me wips of all their art and I scream about it regularly. It’s a good system.

Hmmm, I think that’s it. I hope this origin story satisfied and you feel enlightened. Have a nice day.
