This is probably the most complex thing i've drawn in my entire life. It took me... I think the program said like 16 hours. This originally started as just a doodle to try and draw two people together, since I never do that, then I thought "hey, it'd look cute if I made a little background" then one thing got to the other and... here we are.
It took me a lot to make the lighting and i'm still not 100% pleased with how it turned out, i wanted it to look more... sunsety? i think? but i would've never finished it if I kept overthinking it. Also I'm... happy with the result, it worked hard and I do like it.
So for those that don't know, I primarily post my art on Tumblr first. It's been my art archive for so long that it gets priority, and I have a bigger base here, and the archive system is nice. However, it's been brought to my attention that they may start doing AI nonsense so I'm going to focus on making sure I have back up archive on pillowfort account (gramophoneturtle) so if I need to stop posting on Tumblr, I don't have to start from scratch.
When Twitter went downhill with it's AI policies I removed all my art there. However, because of how Tumblr works, I will probably keep my art here. Since once it's reblogged, and maybe once they have the unprotected works in their databases, they already have access to it.
I don't remember if pillowfort still needs registration keys but I have a some I can hand out if people need them.
I picked pillowfort because they only other sites I looked at were mastodon & bluesky (both are not really long blog post sites for comics, for example) and cohost (which...didn't sound reassuring at the time. Never looked into what posting options they had). If there are other alternatives, let me know.
I'm hoping the Tumblr user base can fight back on this idea out but, it might be like Tumblr Live where it gets pushed out and only after a year or an overwhelming amount of backlash and loss do they remove it.
Since yall chill with animations on my blog, behold. The only animation i will ever shade cause i hate shading in flipaclip!!!!
Also this is a animation from a deleted scene! I'll rb with that cause i cant put 2 videos
Also alos some keyframes were traced during the sketching process as this was mostly done for fun + seeing how close i can animate while keeping the og shows artstyle all in flipaclip lols. Inbetweens, lineart, color, shading etc were done by me fully tho wewe.
Hh, I knew my skin this month wouldn't win(it was very mid and messy) but I still have the underlying want to rant about skin contests and skins as a whole. This is not directed towards anyone who won of course, two of the winning skins are ones that I was very much looking forward to owning, this is mainly about my gripes with the cite itself and how it handles and expects skins to be done.
