Slowly but surely making ref sheets for artfight

Eaurp Guz Rocks!

WIP and details in the read-more:

This one had a bit of a false start. For the life of me I couldnt' get the motion right.

The gif's pacing was all wrong, the hair started out not moving so it wouldn't have looped right... it looked jittery... i just didnt like it. (she's lip syncing to "saturn five" by inspiral carpets in this one. i ended up not doing any mouth movements in the final one)

so i had a play around with some sine and -cosine charts to figure out where the body and hair should be. I ended up not really using the -cos chart for the hair and just kinda animated the hair to what felt right, but using the sine wave for the body position helped a lot, and it meant i could reuse several frames for the body animation (they would be differentiated by what the hair is doing of course).

This test image uses only 8 frames instead of 12 and looks a little clunky, both because of the smaller amount of frames and also because of which positions are shown in each frame. i also made a 12 frame version (like the final version), which did look a lot smoother, but i didn't save it.

applying a sine wave like movement to Guz's head and body and then fixing the arms resulted in a much more natural, consistent, and easy to loop animation.

so i added the hair jiggling and a little hand movement to imply scribbling in some shading. The hair jiggling is honestly the most fun part.

her body was too stiff, so i um. i made it um. jiggle. and um. yeah it uh. it was too much. lol.

so i basically just averaged it, frame by frame, with the previous version.

Doing the glitter/bubbles visible in the final version was a challenge. I decided that since the hair was moving so wildly, the glitter in it could be essentially random in each frame and it wouldn't really matter. But the glitter on the face had to track with her face or it would look strange. I solved that problem by drawing the glitter on the first frame, then drawing two white dots over the eyes, and aligning the dots with the eyes for every frame (which is similar to how I aligned the highlights).

finally, here's the "concept art" (which i repurposed for the first frame)

and here's the drawing of the Saturn V rocket Guz was making (which i showed in another post). And did you notice that the earphone she's using is the one Uhura uses in TOS? :)

Guz is enamored with the space exploration histories of many worlds, but the ones with large moons (or the ones that are large moons), are her favorite. Imagine not having to wait months for interplanetary maneuvering, or decades for close encounters with your coorbital giant planet.

"Just kiss me in front of the warp core, Boimler"

Is this a dream? A holodeck simulation he programmed to practice flirting with her? Who knows! All I know is that I'm COOKED! (also another screenshot edit of these dumb dumbs)

A commission of Ma'ah daydreaming about @peach-crem's character T'rill!

[101-android-luvr-010]

She's done, yay! This is my OC, Mystery, in gradients of my favorite color; purple. I drew her traditionally, then moved her over to the computer for editing and coloring. She's not 100% perfect, but I'm really happy how she turned out! As you can see, I was quite inspired by purple Data in Lower Decks💜💜💜

This man has so many cameos in other star trek series it's truly getting out of hand.

more of my oc's here

Lalalala i like them or whatever

[whirligig-girl]

Hello, um, Tendi.

I'm still a total beginner at animation. This took a ton of work and I'm not completely happy with the result, but it was a fun experiment.

more gifs below the cut.

and a quick meme @raydrawsdaly did in response:

behold my Star Trek OCs I’ve only previously posted on ye olde twitter

left to right we have Gol’moth, Invern’ya, and Ch’targh

Invern’ya is basically just the result of me doing a fix-it based on how in lower decks, T’Lyn got plucked from the Vulcan ship because she was too human but they should’ve (according to me) taken some rando who was too human from the Che’ta’ too…
