This drawing is a redraw of a shot from this video
One of my friend's redrew this shot so I figured I'd make one too LOL whatever helps me get out of artblock.
apparently the rumors about Happy Tree Friends making more episodes is true. So this was done in perfect timing I guess. I'm not an HTF fan but I wanted to do this for fun.

Screenshot edit of Kay
I tried to match the low quality of the lines as best I could. I also had to dull down her colors to make them fit with the background.

Recently found your art blog from the IZ tag and I really love how your lineart/shading combo looks like actual show screencaps from a distance. I was wondering if you had any tutorials for how you pull that off, especially for pieces like /post/722388451213918208/attack-on-drawile ? I ask not because I'm trying to rip your style or anything but I really have a thing for animated screencap + cel shading quality fanart that doesn't just look like grainy VHS footage.
So I don't have a tutorial and I never tried to make one, but I'll try my best to give a quick rundown here. My process is very messy and I usually rush through and don't reflect back on it.
The background I made by planting blobs onto the screen I color picked from different anime backgrounds (got no pic tho). Then I used the ClipStudio colorize feature to blend them into one big sky blob and added some building blobs per hand (picture 1). I then blurred it all with gaussian blur (picture 2).
I always use the same line brush, it's a photoshop round brush on the smallest size that will work. The colors of the character I pick straight from the reference.
From there I only use colors I find in the background to shade the character. In this case I put a purple multiply onto the flat colors to merge the character more into the scene. Then I put a gradient map onto the entire image, usually on Hard Light mode and 50% opacity.
From there I think the key is to stay simple in your shading. Animation usually isn't heavily shaded, it often only has a lighter rim and darker shadows. I picked only one color for all shadows, the same purple I used for the gradient map and that's found in the background.
Last step is random stuff that looks fun- making the rim light stronger with a big glow with a soft airbrush and also adding the little particles. I also made some soft airbrush shadows to the large parts like the tail and arm, because a hard shadow that big would have been to much.
I didn't use any grain or chromatic aberration filters. They may have added to a screenshot feel but that wasn't my focus here.
Hope that helps!

what inspires your artwork? your style is so cool and fun and you draw literally the best atticus of all time
WAHH THANK YOU!! 🥺always means a lot to hear that....
I actually put together a little moodboard of my longtime artistic inspirations and influences a year or so ago for some twitter meme i think, and it's still pretty true to The Dana Art Experience
it's extremely funny to me that yugioh Duel Monsters is definitely like. one of the patient zeroes of my art and art style especially, and now im back making ygo fanart and it feels like coming home. im out here watching the spinoffs and seeing the way they build on the art style and make it more and more extravagant and expressive and im absorbing these powers with my mind. whatever zexal is doing with its character design i need to inject into my art immediately.
invader zim also Very Big... in the summer of 2009 i spent like every night copying characters from paused IZ screencaps and it just permanently altered my art style's dna HFDHGUDG those sharp edges and weird colors and head shapes..the inspiration still runs DEEP. between that, ygo, and Chuck Jones' Looney Tunes art (which I had been exposed to from a young age) that's the Dana Art Soup of all time.
I also get a lot of inspiration from my friends!! ;w; I'm always looking at how they approach things like color and composition and trying to learn from that... nowadays I also spend a lot of time looking at and getting inspiration from funky mixed media art (especially digital mixed media/wikipedia poetry/just anything doing interesting stuff with public domain and google searches and internet born material); when fanart Does Interesting Things with medium and composition that's My Jam, that's the type of art I love to make.
anyways THANK YOU AGAIN...hands you an Atticus
