I recently picked up drawing again and I figured out how to record it this time! Audio is from TAZ ep. 1.5 and I’m working on drawings in progress for my animatic

This was right!!! Somewhat at least

The Quell vs The Hunger: motivation and minions

Posted with @rebelenterprise permission

It’s funny, there’s been lots of comparisons between the Hunger and the Quell, due to some degree of aesthetic similarities, but when you get right down to it their motivations are entirely different;

Both John’s aspirations of “ascendance” and the Hunger’s eventual desire to just consume everything in every conceivable reality, are different from the Quell’s search for Sylvain turning into a desire to simply raze the planet (and later Earth) of life, not out of a hunger, but pure revenge

And they’re functionally dissimilar too; while both can take control of other entities, The Quell is also creating wholly new creatures to do its work, whereas the Hunger for the most part sends in warped parodies of the beings it’s assimilated into itself

Keep Life Something Blue

by Blu Jay

Living in a small town

Just trying to make the grade

Not knowing what’s beyond the door

And that’s just OK.

Looking back on that i did alright

but I’m learning something new

Stepping out the door, into the world,

And taking in the view...

Chorus

Its not about the ending but the journey

All the people you will meet, all the stories you create!

It’s the memories you make new

And what you think and do

You’re not alone in this world

All you have to do is try

look up at something blue

Beginnings are risky,

You’re finding on your own

Making your own way

Where’s the time gone?

Take the lesser traveled path

Try finding your own way

Take a step off the porch

And see the new day...

Chorus

Its not about the ending but the journey

All the people you will meet, all the stories you create!

It’s the memories you make new

And what you think and do

You’re not alone in this world

All you have to do is try

And discover something blue

Trying to please others doesn’t

Always work out

Then you’re disappointed and

You’re left with doubt

Don’t be discouraged

It’s you they don’t know

Reveal your heart

Be your own glow…

Chorus

Its not about the ending but the journey

All the people you will meet, all the stories you create!

It’s the memories you make new

And what you think and do

You’re not alone in this world

All you have to do is try

And be your something blue

Folks will try to bog you down and

that’s not ok.

Find yourself, be yourself

Go your own way

Those who mind don’t matter,

those who matter don’t mind

Do the good things

Be your own kind….

Chorus

Its not about the ending but the journey

All the people you will meet, all the stories you create!

It’s the memories you make new

And what you think and do

You’re not alone in this world

All you have to do is try

And share the something blue

Bridge

Being the best seems to be the goal

Having lots of things doesn’t always make you whole

Life seems really bad now

I hope others can see how

Everyone has a Song and finding someone new…

Is as great as something blue

{Key change}

Rare’s the one who tries their best,

Tries for others,

Tries for family

And discovered brothers

Legends aren’t defined by

The end, its true.

It’s the lessons they learn

It’s the things they do...

It’s not about the ending but the journey

All the people you will meet, all the stories you create!

It’s the memories you make new

And what you think and do

You’re not alone in this world

All you have to do is try

And do the something blue

Thanks for hanging in this far

It’s been so long

It’s been amazing

To share my song

If this song is too upbeat

think about this

(Slow)

The experiences you have

you choose what you keep

so try to remember the bliss

And keep life something blue

Something blue

Some thing blue

Have a look at my first animatic! It’s a little naive, but I wanted to make a video on a head cannon of the origins of the Bureau of Balance logo. I’m sure it was obvious to people, but I didn’t figure it out for a while. It also gave me good practice for future animatics!

[blujaytreasures-art]

Check out my initial sketches of an animatic featuring Taako and Lup!

[blujaytreasures-art]

I wanted some paintings of Balance, so I went to a local paint n sip they turned about wonderfully.

Updated red robe

I made a book purse for a cosplay! The only think I bought was some silver nail polish, and the graphic novel of course.

[blujaytreasures-art]

This is a book cover for a book purse I’m making. I’m cosplaying as Lucretia, so I needed a good purse. Acrylic paint, silver nail polish, glitter glue, mod podge on a file folder, which will go on a recycled book cover titled “the joy of crafts”.

[blujaytreasures-art]

I’m making a book purse, so this is the front cover

[blujaytreasures-art]

Just did this tonight. I can’t claim original design, but every stroke was my own. Took about 3 hours. My inspiration is blue jays and cherry blossoms at the moment. Wanted a new avatar

The legato conservatory

So I was thinking about the time of arrival and how it wasn’t specified... why can’t they have arrived at night and enjoy the night view of the lit up performance halls? Plus a voidfish

[blujaytreasures-art]

Edit: I re-listened to the episode, it’s actually a whale bone as a column and they have magic ritual symbols. Will add in next version.

Barry and Lup turning into liches on the magic planet at dawn. It’s canonical that it’s at dawn, and he mentions a column, and I like to imagine it’s near a building at this stage

[blujaytreasures-art]

Here are some of the images I’m making for my own animatic, inspired by all the other videos out there. Set to Anastasia’s “at the beginning”. I am floored at how much time it is taking and have more apretiation to all the other artists out there, whether it be story or pictures.

[Description: set of scenes from TAZ balance, mostly in stolen century arc. (1) send off for the IPRE crew. (2,3) escape from the hunger out of the material plane, with ethereal plane underneath and magic and thought planes nearby. (4) story and song voidfish with hunger background. (5,6,7) Barry being sad and Lup comforting him, set on a log [animal planet, for song timing purposes]. (8) legato conservatory planet at night, d20 for dome buildings, with voidfish. (9,10) red robe and umbrella, with flames]
