Home is not a place, but a feeling ~

Another redrawing; link to the old version.

I have never seen such landscapes in real life, and I don’t think I ever will. Sometimes it made me depressed, causing some form of impostor syndrome, because what I draw was never something I could see and touch. These worlds were always just dreams. But maybe that's what made them so special to me, and drawing something that only exists in my mind feels right.

This Kotie is an interesting character - his name is Frai, and he was once created as a hybrid of my main ocs, such as Vewis, Atram, and one secret character. I like how he came out in the new version, so I decided to redraw his old ref/concept as well. I miss drawing more detailed/realistic character refs. Maybe someday I'll draw something like this for the main ones too ~

Awake

White noise comes in first, before the sunlight, before the sound of a siren blaring and alerting me to greater things beyond the bay.

I betrayed her, a lady with red hair, who held a match and a lighter at hand. She has the killing thing, but does she go for the slaughter?

No-- i land on a cloud, made of sugary strands and butterfly wings, and slip back down onto glistening moss. The god of sleep kisses me with supple lips, before transmuting into a monarch butterfly, migrating to warmer lands. --Elda Mengisto

Author's note: A belated birthday present to @lexiklecksi, who's been fascinated by sleep and dreams these days. I hope you had a wonderful day and continue to be awesome!

Indie Animations I Recommend

Haven’t posted in a while since, as I have said, my Apple Pencil broke and I haven’t been able to work on commissions or that one hazbin hotel animation… which I was actually getting through for once. Also I have fallen into a Varian And The Seven Kingdoms obsession.

Anyhow I shall now take the chance to share a couple indie animations I’ve watched/been watching recently possibly with a brief note about what kind of audience would enjoy it (might not be accurate I dunno)

First and foremost The Epilogue Of Endings which released approximately 12 hours ago as of when I’m writing this. And just before I summarise anything I just want to praise this pilot for HOW AMAZING IT IS DESPITE ITS SMALL BUDGET! The animation is fantastic and I swear something about it makes me so happy. The art style is also amazing (in my opinion) and suits the character designs perfectly. I love the character designs, just saying, and the voice acting is superb. I think my favourite designs from it are Blu (because I mean the mask and metal arms are pretty damn cool) and the ————. I won’t say who they are because the reveal is too good to miss, but you might be able to guess who I’m talking about if you’ve watched it.

Now to say what happens. This takes place after the sun ya know, goes. I think I’m probably the most interested by what exactly is going on with Mole but I think my favourite character thus far is Blu. I suggest you go watch it, it’s very cool. I think if you like Indie animation in general then this is a good pic due to its indie feel (positive). Also would suggest to people who enjoy slightly creepy media (it’s not that creepy in my opinion but it does feature the downfall of humanity and what happens after the sun dies so it’s slightly unsettling, it masters that feeling).

And here’s their Kickstarter

We also have Dreamworld which also has a season 2, I’m just linking the first one though so just so you know you can find the second season on the channel. As said by the creator, it borrows certain tropes/aspects from analogue horror and has animatronics. As it says up there it is a sci-fi horror series that is intended to be accessible to younger fans of the genre. Again, I love the story and the character designs. So far, my favourite character and character design belongs to THE Star Light. I’m starting to see a theme with me liking sun/moon/star themed animatronics. I mean this guy has a BOW TIE and a charming smile. If I wasn’t already dressing up as Varian for Halloween then I think I would’ve looked into trying to dress as Star Light.

The pilot hasn’t released but the animation from this teaser is SO GOOD! I’m excited to see the pilot. There’s also been music/songs released by them, I can’t remember if I’ve gotten around to listening to any but I fully intend on doing so.

I’m sorry but how is the animation this good with only one person animating it (I might’ve gotten that wrong). I find the character designs really cool and the art style is fun. They’re in space. The voice acting is good. Also just gonna say, they have merch.

This is Dungeon Flippers, a fantasy real-estate cartoon following Maulie, a manticore. (I copied and shortened down the description of the YouTube channel)

The animation is great and the voice acting is really good. The story is interesting and The Ace Of Wands Theme is a joy to listen to every time.

I don’t know how to describe the plot but lemme just… the animation deserves praise, it suits the vibe of the pilot and the character designs are amazing. Voice acting is also fun and I’d recommend this even if it’s just sea side/coast vibes you’re looking for.

This one is a YouTube channel that posts OC animatics and has posted Sundrop and Moondrop animations, just saying I think they drew the Sun and Moon Q&A comics soooo that was my introduction to their work.

Just watch this and you will see some PEAK animation.

Again, the animation is awesome.

And that’s where the video limit comes, alas, but check it out. It’s by Meppity and has some really good paper looking animation.

And this is where we have the indie animated stuff (I consider it that at least) centred around pre-existing shows.

I myself am looking forward to making my own indie animated stuff or comics (I haven’t really decided, I’m just working on different characters whilst also writing fanfics and drawing fan comics and other art stuff on top of art homework. YAY

Here is one… dated… animation I did a year ago which took me a while.

https://youtu.be/jmteRdRgHWI?si=o-p-l9gheLSkw7Xr

It’s for an OC, but with their old design. The new design has a satchel, otherwise nothing changed to be honest. I also have done another animation which was far more rough but it was me animating whilst seeing who would win the election so it’s political and not about any of my ocs or any actual characters. As I said, I already have another animation in the works for Alastor so I have to wait till my Apple Pencil gets fixed or replaced to continue working on it.

In the Valley of Sleep is available now from all of these sellers!

This is a PART TWO. The first part is The House of Dentium and can be purchased by clicking here!

Jacob Wilkins, Graham Hale Jr., Collie Jackson, and Roland and Pauleen Walker have been kidnapped. Cast through the house of teeth, they've been stranded at the edge of the Void Below. The Abyssal Tide would have crushed them into Voidlings if not for the plucky little Aeln, Yurt. But while the bear is confident he can take the kids home, the sleeping realm of Bahim proves far wilder than any of the Waking could ever know. Thrown from nightmare to nightmare, the children seem to have no choice but to put their fates in the hands of a strange man wearing a clown mask.

Meanwhile, the adults struggle to find the children while being contested at every turn by their personal demons, and by demons unfamiliar. Stripped of his weapon, Dr. Rutherford has nothing but his wits to keep him alive. Stripped of his company, Samantha Hale has nothing. While nightmares hunt the two of them, the rest become nightmares and turn against them. Dentium makes beasts of men and sets Eugene, Ben, and even Gregory himself on the hunt for the children reserved for the Void.

In this conclusion to The House of Dentium, it's a desperate race to find the way back home. Adults and children alike are but sheep among wolves in The Valley of Sleep.
