New animation to celebrate my favourite game getting remastered!

[jakobos]

I've always had a soft spot for the Oblivion Spriggans, I'm so glad the Remaster kept to their overall vibe!

Would you?? T-T

Seeing the chunks of Bismuth in the ESO Worm Cult Prologue Quest, unsurprisingly, made me draw a sword!

Why is Batman in Brisbane on the 7th of March 2025??

I made this! It was a fun little challenge since I effectively only gave myself a week

Been watching Batman: The Animated Series recently, and made an animation to ruin it!

[jakobos]

One of the main goals I managed to tick off last year was to complete my "Devil's Dozen". At least one animation posted to Youtube starting December 2023. I meant to make 13.... but it ended up being 17! Including finally releasing the 'Synchronise' Music Video on 'Magenta Voyeur's Youtube Channel!

I had the "fortune" of being jobless for quite a few months, so I had ample time to create a bunch of things over the year....

A big thing I believe is New Year's Resolutions are more of a snapshot of the priorities you had at the end of the last year, but you can't account for how things may change. When I initially wanted to do the Devil's Dozen, I had planned to make these longer, story-based animatics to work on my storyboarding skills (I have this unreleased one I was working on for quite some time that may not see the light of day). But that all changed after 'Romancing the Lizard" suddenly got 160k views... I was an Elder Scrolls Animations channel now! So small TES skits became the priority, I shifted things around, and eventually worked on the larger one, "Obliviots". Unfortunately by the time I had finished it, the steam from Romancing's success had run out, and my channel was back to seeing its normal numbers. I learnt a lot about creating online, the ebb and flow of algorithms, I gained 1500+ followers and I'm grateful to every one of them.

My focus will remain to make fun, evergreen videos about things I like. I have a few things in the pipeline currently, old project being dusted off, and new things I didn't get around to starting last year. Although my main priority has shifted back to a comic project I dropped momentarily to work on these little animations (More about that later!). I'm thinking of making a full retrospective video about what I learnt, though it might be a bit of a deviation from what the channel's usually about (If you're interested in that, peer pressure me, it's super effective...)

Thank you for making 2024 so creatively exciting, I look forward to making more things this year! (Probably should do a drawing retrospective post too...... maybe 😅)

And if you haven't... Go check out my youtube possibly maybe yes?!

Merry Christmas you filthy animals.

Another year, another spicy Christmas elf.

Clampshell wanted a full bod ref for my little vtuber character thingo I use when streaming. A tad self aggrandising, but it turns out you can just draw anything on these drawing tablets 😂 Also, it's nice to finally draw hands the way I see them, sick of drawing you people's boring ass hands
