Less "optimus and bumblebee fight megatron and starscream" and more "motley crew of ocean-themed beastformers try to get their old band back together and have to trek through various galaxies to find their missing members"

#just like some small-scale spinoffs would be so fun for tf #just a couple of cartoon shorts or comic formats like tf galaxies #resi.txt #transformers #maccadam #that thing with the band isn't a joke btw #i really want to see all the squid-bots like skylla and a #all the shark-bots interacting also somehow rockbuster is the “manager” who had the idea of getting the band back together #after the great warin the first place

I just watched the first episode of zom 100, and I just loved it!! I loved how they play with colors according to the life and feelings of the main character

I liked that everything starts colorfully, when he is super excited about his new job, happy that he will be able to fulfill his dreams, and with several ambitions

later, when he sees that the company only cares about exploiting its workers, when he realizes that with each passing day it gets more and more tiring to live only for the work, the colors gradually fade, until everything is gray

and when the zombies start attacking, the blood is colored, as if it gives new life to things, although death is involved

and when he finally realizes that the next day he will no longer have to work and live the monotonous life he had, the colors come back!! full of life!!

I loved how they portray that it is easier for the apocalypse to happen than for capitalism to end!

and when that actually happens, the character is so happy to be rid of his miserable life that he ends up being happy to be surrounded by the bloodthirsty undead!

#the first episode was short but i can already see it's a great anime! I'm looking forward to the next episodes #btw it's available on netflix for those who want to watch it too #zom 100 #zom 100: bucket list of the dead #bucket list of the dead #akira tendou

Holy fuck, man. What a trip Fearne has been on, huh?

You tell her how grateful you are to have her in your life, you flatter her, you tell her you need her, that you have to do this together. You have her make a promise that has this woman, born of chaos and fey, agreeing through shaking hands and a trembling voice.

You make her deceive your friends; you make her follow where they cannot know; you make her help you into this contraption; you make her feed this thing into you despite the fact that you both have been warned extensively of the risks. You make her watch you crumble and splinter and shatter and fracture and burst and implode. You make her watch you die, over and over and over and over, for a minute in agonizing bullet time.

You make her do all these things, because when she tries to back out, when she tries to not be the one who let you do this—how could you do this—

you tell her, "YOU PROMISED."

Because if there's one thing you know, it's that the fey do not break a promise.

#cant wait for her to fucking pissed for a very long time. shes really packing the entire human experience in a very short period of time. #critical role #cr spoilers #c3e77 #fearne calloway #ashton greymoore #bells hells #just gonna get ahead of the um actually mfs and state that i am aware that its not confirmed that thats why ash brought up the promise #but boy howdy would it make for some great drama down the line huh? #edit: apparently i did not get ahead enough cuz ive had to turn off replies #since ppl were somehow interpreting this mini introspection piece as me infantilizing fearne?? #anyway the first line is now changed to something a bit more neutral. after sleeping on it i do see how it was a bit aggressive at the top #other than that im not sure how else to reword without completely disregarding the core of the post #i might make more posts addressing this but im not sure yet. i wanna try to approach it in the best way possible. #but if it helps any the point of the post was not to say fearne had no agency. she had plenty of moments where she tilted one way or the #other. the POINT was to just shine some light on the emotional pressure she had been put under. #hasnt your friend ever asked you to keep a secret or promise that felt wrong or unsafe or made you anxious? #it has nothing to do with the amount of agency she had. ash wasnt holding a knife to her throat and forcing her to follow against her will #all i was trying to do was take this detail about his reminder of the promise that i thought was interesting and have some fun writing an #overview of the kinda stress she was under BEFORE theyd reached that scene. this entire ep was everyone discussing how grateful they were #for this family theyd made. and while im not saying ash was PURPOSELY emotionally manipulating fearne.. #there is a level of unintentional manipulation when you pair the severity of his request with the convo theyd had 2 seconds prior #as well as the desperate need they all have to save each other NO MATTER WHAT. #ash was giving incredibly strong energy of a friend who peer pressures you into helping them do something that you know in your gut WILL #cause problems. hes a fucked up guy. theyre all fucked up guys. even if he didnt mean to “force” her into anything the pressure was THERE. #<- i feel like all of this overall gets my message across. i think maybe ill clean it up later into its own post. #im gonna try not to rush myself to get it done tho. #im under no obligation to explain myself. especially when ppl approach the misunderstanding by being rude af. but i do think it CAN #be clarified so id at least like to try to some degree

"posting this because i NEEEEEED this on my blog" is probably going to be the caption for 95% of the Shin-chan stuff i post BUT IT IS NO LESS TRUE BECAUSE OF IT. Masaaki Yuasa is quickly becoming one of my favorite animators and i want to have easy access to ogle at his work at any time. and i hope for you to do the same! so here's his animation for Ending 3 of the show from 1993

#i enjoyed Devilman Crybaby when it was new and REALLY enjoyed Night is Short Walk On Girl but Shin-chan is my first time seeing him actually #animate rather than as a director/affiliated with Science SARU #AND UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH HE IS SO GOOD I'M SO INSPIRED #Shin-chan has just been so fun to get into truly have not felt this passionate about getting into something since i got into LT/golden age #cartoons #a very happy and unexpected hyperfixation of 2024 #and thank you for coming along on this journey with me i know it outwardly doesn't fit my 'brand' of posting BUT ACTUALLY IT DOES BECAUSE #THE GAGS AND ANIMATION ARE SO GOOD AND SPEAK TO ME SO MUCH. aahhhhhhhhhhhhh #i've literally started taking Japanese lessons on Duolingo so i can watch more episodes that aren't subbed #i have a pretty basic knowledge of Japanese since i was once an anime obsessed 8 year old (thank you Leo Ojamajo Doremi is still treasured #in my heart) so i can make out/infer bits and pieces but it would be great to have a greater understanding and also learn how to read #Hiragana. which i've been learning! slowly #i'll probably be posting more OPs and EDs because they are so good so so good #OP 3 is stuck in my head literally all the time #COME ON BABY COME ON BABY tamanegi tabereru #if you for whatever reason are deterred by my Shin posting then my containment center for it is 'csc' so blacklist that #but hopefully you will not!! #csc #vid

Allie is so cute but the fact that a bear stole her bouquet is so ??? does everyone in Alicante’s family cursed to be attacked/inconvenienced by bears or something?? do the bears specifically just target him and his family?? is this still related to Chapter 1 when you feed Buddy and he becomes a bear circus owner, or does it go even deeper than that?? do the bears have a long-standing dating-back-to-ancient-times rivalry with the Alicante family or something?? LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING ???

#good pizza great pizza #sidenote: #the fact that Alicante said that Allie’s name is short for ‘Alicante’ is actually insane to me #i know canonically his first name is Alessandro #but this fact about Allie’s name is so much funnier with my headcanon of him being named Alicante Alicante #its just so so funny to think about #and im not sure if i want this to be canon to my AU #bc in my mind her full name is Alessandra #but its incredibly hilarious i need to ponder this

okay i swear i'm not crazy (i might be for other reasons, not about this tho), but just watch this clip and then hear me out

like, maybe it's just me, but this is so obviously tsukki trying his best to help them. like, he takes in the situation (even after however many days kags and hinata are so far away from where they need to be), he blinks. once, and then twice, and then he sighs to himself, resigning to try and help these idiots. but what's going to help them now? when it's so close to the day of their retake? he can't really do much to actually help with their study methods, it's far too late, but what he can do is reignite their motivation, by making them angry and making them want to prove tsukki wrong

he didn't insult them (just) to be a dick. no, he purposefully was trying to rile them up so that they weren't resigned or depressed going into the retake, and he even tried to give them advice (telling kags that all the answers are in the text already so he just needs to reread it if he doesn't know the answer, and telling hinata that english is just memorisation, so focus on that and don't get lost in the details), even if he doesn't give it outright. besides, i think we all know, if tsukishima gave kageyama and hinata straightforward advice they probably wouldn't follow it.

but he wanted to help them. he wanted to help them succeed. because even though they're idiots and even tho (he says) they annoy him, they are actually his friends.

and yamaguchi gets it, yamaguchi understands what he's trying to do, even if everyone else carries on thinking tsukki's just being a jerk again.

#i love this scene so much #like what an incredible characterisation of tsukki #in such a short amount of time too it's great it's really really great #godddd i love kei so much #tsukkishima kei #tsukki <3 #haikyuu #karasuno first years #kageyama tobio #hinata shouyou #yachi hitoka #yamaguchi tadashi #and #ennoshita chikara #he's technically there lol #homework eps

Salad is a little confused as to why there is a life-sized Jeremy Fisher standing next to him. Jeremy thinks that Salad is a loony. They become besties, btw.

Wanted to draw a human / modern version of Jeremy Fisher, which is very much inspired by Pallid Fingers, and will hopefully do this with the rest of the characters in the show. I've got Kenneth down, now Jeremy, and wanna do Marjory next!!

#salad fingers #david firth #him and Kenneth are also really good friends #like right hand mans!!! #jeremy fisher #jeremy would def be the first to question Kenneth's strange... choice in men #but he does warm up eventually because Salad does make great conversation #my art #just realised how small salad looks in here... #i hc salad fingers short king with long legs #i love talking in the tags #blah blah blah #i wanna draw.. all the time... but ive got an addiction to salt and it makes me tired all the time

The line reads on these, especially the last one, sounded a lot like Zuko in the show proper.

#the actors are doing a bang up job on this show #yes I'm singing it's praises #this scene was great #also Zuko just looks very much like Zuko should?? #props to the costume designers & such & the actors too #oh god do not look at the comments on 🏴‍☠️ sites #anyway really enjoying it so far aside from some stuff here & there #the focus on stuff being centered was a bit weird especially in the first few eps but maybe I've grown used to it?? idk I'm on 4 as my next #the youtube short & tiktokification of some of the framing was very jarring at first thou #dallas james liu you're doing amazing capturing his character! #mine #op #natla #avatar live action #avatar the last airbender #atla #avatar #netflix avatar

Btw I’m actually a little behind on the pjo series so I’m only on like. Episode 5. But I’m getting to the end of it and I just wanna say I love Annabeth so much I love her and I love Leah Sava Jeffries they’re both incredible

#chatter #pjo tv show #pjo series #annabeth chase #riordanverse #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #leah sava jeffries #shes an adorable little girl and a pretty great actress!! #it’s just like. like wow. look at her go! look at her grow!! #kinda spoilers here so look away if you don’t want them but like. it’s only episode five. it’s the very first adventure they have together #we all know how annabeth and percy and grover grow throughout the whole series and everything but this is still the very first one. #the start of all their adventures and all their changes and all their growing #and it’s like. maybe more towards the middle of the quest now? i can’t remember fully #but they’ve only known each other such a short while and already he’s inspiring her #and shes outright saying it!! outright shes saying that his belief in fairness and belief in thinking they can and should be better #has made her realize the same!! that families shouldn’t treat each other so terribly! that parents shouldn’t be neglectful! #that the prices they’re forced to pay shouldn’t exist at all!! #idk how to word it really. but i love how even if percy is a pessimist. even if he’s cynical. it’s because he knows things SHOULD be better #and how he’s able to make everyone around him see how much better it can be too #and annabeth. who was one of athenas favorites. who ran away at such a little age that the way these things are is #the only thing shes ever really known. is able to hear what he says and realize he’s right. is able to say no. no more i agree with him. #like. shes sorta the golden child in a way because she gets attention and her little hat and everything. #shes one of the favorites. and shes willing to give it all away!! shes willing to say no!! #shes willing to give up that favored status for saying that it should be the standard! the bare minimum! #anyway. im sleepy and i wanted to say annabeth chase is such an amazing character. i love her.

okay so. two things!! first of all, over the course of january (and the beginning of february) i participated in the kirby oc secret santa, which was wonderfully hosted by @/moonverc3x. i was lucky enough to be the santa for @/starflungwaddledee, and ended up with two of my best pieces so far!!

these were CHALLENGING, though. which is where the second thing comes in!! under the cut, i'll be going over some of the sketches, drafts and phases of either piece! there's also a speedpaint. exciting!!

i'll be starting with my starstruck piece! the theme here was wanderlust - literally one of the most whimsical words i know - and generally anything to do with the stars. i had a few things in mind, but considering how long it sometimes takes to make artwork, i decided to roll with what inspired me the most.

this is the final sketch compared to the final artwork. certainly one of the crazier transformations i've done. i had a mental image of most parts of the artwork, from the material of starstruck's bow to the lighting cast by the stars. everything except for the grass (i hate grass!!) i ended up rendering the grass and background first, anyway.

doing the background before the rest of the artwork helps define the lighting and shadows! if i decided to draw starstruck before the background, i'd have to draw it according to the lighting.

weird explanation, but in summary: background before character helps the character look like a part of the environment! character before background means extra steps need to be taken before the character fits in the environment!

starstruck's bow was also a decent challenge! i'm a fan of bows and satin, so a satin bow sounded like a good idea. it was, but i've never drawn satin before. the workaround was an active satin study! i stared at a satin bow i found on pinterest and tried to understand how light spread over the material. it's quite interesting!!

you might notice that i flipped the direction of the shooting stars. this is for composition reasons!! i wanted to make starstruck the obvious focus, and while the contrast between her warmer palette and the background's cooler palette easily achieve that, i wanted to cement it. i also added little hand drawn sparklies everywhere. because i like it.

of course, i have to talk about the eyes!! if anything, i noticed that in all of starflung's drawings of starstruck, she had really glittery eyes. literally adorable. so i made it my mission to capture her feelings in her eyes!! i had a lot of fun making them super shiny and adding little stars in there. i also needed to pay attention to the subtle gradient, though - they fade from blue to pink if you zoom into starflung's artworks - and decided to keep it vibrant.

okay. thats all for this one!! i'd like to mention that in the original sketch for this specific pose, bandee was in the background. i really regret scrapping that now. oh, well!

time for morpho dee! i'll be starting for with the speedpaint for this one, mainly because it sort of explains some of the process by itself.

i restarted the shading... three or four times at least? so yeah. i was losing it on this piece. i'll be completely honest, i contemplated dropping it for the sake of meeting the deadline. it wasn't stressing me out, but i had studies to worry about too, and i was worried that it wouldn't be of great quality? but after some advice from my beloved older sister, i managed to turn the tide!!

this is a first for me, but everything here was a challenge. if you scroll through my account and the few artworks i've posted, you'll notice that i draw gijinkas far more than orbs. now, you may be wondering why this didn't pose so much of an issue for my starstruck piece! it's mainly because i chose a far simpler pose for her than i did for morpho over here.

for morpho, the artwork needed to be dramatic. i draw cutesy things - while i've always wanted to draw something dramatic, i've never pushed myself to do it. until this artwork! i went for a dynamic pose which would (hopefully) pull the viewer's eye towards morpho dee. that's what's up with the foreshortned spear! i also realised that the plcement of his feet would be quite significant to the artwork. you might not know this, but feet are my greatest enemy. i'm still trying to figure out how best to draw them for people or orbs, but i'm getting there.

after 'lineart' (which really ended up being a cleaned sketch - this was supposed to be linelessly rendered, but i gave up on that) the pose was no longer a problem. because the shading was! hooray!!

nothing has quite bewildered me like metal shading has. i've shaded gold. satin. cotton, fluffy scarves, shiny things, grass. yet metal shading continues to elude me! this was, hands down, the most difficult part of this artwork. i struggled to make sense of how the lighting was supposed to work, even with references. and every time i thought it made sense, i ended up with something i didn't like the look of. the solution? long breaks, more references and pinterest tutorials. i have no clue how i managed this, but we got here anyways. i finished it off by colouring the lineart according to the shading.

i have experience with drawing fire, at least! it was three or four years ago in an old artwork, but i have experience! i simply had to figure out how to work it into the atmosphere. for the glow, i duplicated the layer, gaussian blurred it and used a slight glow layer! i did something similar for the durst particles, but i used motion blur instead.

i also want to talk about the spear a little bit. you might notice that i added a bit of ambient glow around the blue gem. that was with the light intensity in mind, but also for a sense of realism! i also had to keep the pink light in mind, though. so i ended up using an airbrush to create a base for the lighting and i continued from there. i added a few scratches on the handle just to give it a bit more life, too.

and, finally, a one-to-one comparison between the sketch and the final! i have literally no idea how i pulled either of these pieces off, but i'm quite proud of them.

i recommend you drop by @/kirbyoc-secretsanta for other artworks! a total of 75 artists participated, so there are plenty of super cool ocs to adore over there and new artists to find!! this was my first secret santa experience, and @/moonverc3x made an amazing host (thank you for hosting, by the way!!) bye bye!!

#kirby #digital art #starstruck dee #morpho dee #sorry to everyone who thought this was short. and sorry to everyone who reblogs this #it really wasn't supposed to be so long but i had a lot to talk about #i'm pretty sure i've covered everything though #but these were a thrill to make!! #i've always wanted to make fanart for starflung because her characters are so cool and unique #so i was hoping to get her in the santa and. somehow i did #yeah i screamed when that happened. heehee #but!! i'll probably try to participate in more events like this!! this was super fun!! #i literally cannot thank moon enough for being such a great host #i'm generally a nervous person when it comes to talking online but moon was quite warm and sociable!! #this was an exciting first time for me!! #glitter in my ink
