Listen I may be 6 days late to upload this but I did technically draw it on Valentine's Day, so I get points for that.

Anyways since I'm crunched for time this semester, I put it up to a vote on which character of mine would be the face of Valentine's this year and, to no one's surprise, it was Jamison. So, I gladly accepted this outcome as a means to humiliate him.

If you're wondering why I posted this late, it's because I've been hiding from the wrath that is his cupid's arrow. Love hurts, as they say (or so he tells me.)

Anyways, Happy (6-days late) Valentine's Day! See you in the obituaries, hah! (pray I make it to St. Patrick's alive.)

Wanted to try my hand at the "Draw a Character You Like" trend!

I haven't done fanart in so long, so I went all out. Some I tried replicating the style more than others--it was fun to study the techniques used in every series (especially in the backgrounds).

It was hard to decide who went where, and some characters ended up in a tie (gave me an excuse to draw them together though)--I still feel like Curly and Airy are inter-changeable, but love them both in their own ways nonetheless.

Happy New Year y'all!

(Characters under cut)

Current Favorite: Fanny (Battle for Dream Island)

Comfort Character(s): Sun (Five Nights at Freddy's) & Bashful (The 7D)

In celebration of the Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 trailer coming out, I thought it'd be fun to finally post the concept drawings I had done all the way back when chapter 2 originally came out. 🌼

I thought it'd be fun to design and write an antagonist that wants to help the player but is also still a threat due to their unstable nature. Having been rejected and thrown away, Daisy can be clingy and possessive of the player, turning aggressive at times if they feel the player is trying to abandon them.

I also thought it would be fun to add the Prototype as part of the story, taking the reins of Daisy when they decide to let you free. I was inspired by the scene in Coraline with the Other Father (no big spoilers for anything, iykyk) as well as Junji Ito's story, "House of Puppets".

I thought having a chase scene where the threat can only go after you if the ceiling tiles were designed to allow them to move there would be interesting. Not only that, Daisy could also help guide you to safe areas where they know the Prototype can't drag them.

I also thought having quick-time events where you gradually break each thread holding the Marionette until there is one left would be a fun boss fight.

I wasn't planning to post this, but I also don't want it to collect dust forever on my laptop. The character belongs to Mob Entertainment, but feel free to use the concept if you have any fun ideas to add on! If you do, be sure to tag me! I'd love to hear what y'all have to say!

An animatic for my story, Alternate Life! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ [[ Context ]] *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Stitch is a monster who lives in the forest. He does his best to make sure he stays hidden from humans, often scaring them off by rattling his bracelets like a snake. He frequently goes out exploring, collecting discarded items left in the forest (which he uses in his crafts.)

While out foraging, he spots Eddie, a researcher of Alternate Life. Eddie and his coworkers visit the remains of the Amaranth district (the district he previously worked at that was mysteriously destroyed, leaving him as one of the few survivors.) Overwhelmed, Eddie separated from the others to have some time alone.

The song that plays when Eddie realizes something was watching him is titled "Awkward Meeting," which I felt was fitting.

This was composited in Adobe After Effects

A lip sync project for my 2D animation class. This project went in several wild directions, but ultimately I settled on a random audio my friend sent me via TikTok. ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ [[ Animation Notes ]] *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Due to the project deadline, I decided on animating the characters using rigs and animate their faces (as well as small things like Syn's hand) in frame by frame.

Rigging Project from my 2D animation class. I've made a rig prior to this, but it was very simple and unfinished. For this project, I wanted to try and make a more complex one, with controls for nearly every piece on the character (like his ears, hair, hips, etc.) I also mixed in a little bit of frame-by-frame animation to add more volume and help the animation flow easier (mainly the hair, face, and feet.) I thought animating to the beat of a song would help me with the walk, so I decided to pick a song by Kevin Macleod. I've been listening to his music for years now--it's practically in almost every piece of media I enjoy! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The phone he is holding is MePhone4 from Inanimate Insanity

I've made it so the animation loops nearly perfectly (the only thing that doesn't loop are the stars, which I made with a scatter node)

I made the sound waves using Adobe After Effects

Animation Project from my 2D animation class.

The main character singing is my OC, Alex

Each color represents a certain beat in the song.

Each color represents one of my other OCs who have important roles in Alex's life: • Pink: Jamie • Yellow: Skye • Green: Jamison • Red: Florian

The symbols paired with each color also represent each character: • Jamie is the star ⭐ • Skye is the sun ☀️ • Jamison is the knife 🔪 • Florian is both the X and the black rose 🥀

At the part of the animation where each character is shown with their respective color, I wanted Skye, Jamie, and Florian to look at the camera to represent them looking at Alex ("seeing eye to eye.") The only one to not look at the camera is Jamison, representing his indifference about Alex.

Each of their reactions is representative to how they feel about him (Jamie being nervous, Skye being excited, Florian being accepting.)

Also, each character starts with their eyes closed and open them, except Florian, who starts with his eyes open and closes them, symbolizing his passing.

The eyes represent Alex's ability to shapeshift, and the changing eye colors represent all of the different forms he's able to take. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ [[ Credits ]] *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Song: PUSH UR T3MPRR by femtanyl

Been thinking about The 7D and a lot of Disney XD shows I watched lately - - - (I don't think Ford would let Doc read his journals, but hypothetically, they would be wholesomely nerding out)

Watching all the 'superfan' episodes of The Office on Peacock and really wanted to draw this pose for some reason (These two are NOTHING like Andy and Angela though dsgndsjnk) (Also just found a shirt on Pinterest I thought was cool)

Happy Pride Month! Here's the last batch of drawings with Syn and Eddie (+ an Alt. version with Eddie's timeskip design.) (Protected with a little Glaze, so heads up)

These two are one of my favorite couples to draw (and kind of the couple that cause half the plotline.) So, buckle up--it's a LONG read ↓

Years of living in a dysfunctional household and losing all of his close friends to the foundation forced Syn to feel it was easier to shut himself off from the world than try to get close with others. Even when forced to go out in groups with Jamison, he tries to stay in the back, only ever stepping forward to get the job done sooner. Despite hating Jamison's guts, he often accepts work from him in return for contraband: Jamison could easily sneak whatever Syn asked for into the foundation as long as Syn followed his orders. It was a good distraction for Syn, though he always felt there was something missing in his life.

Syn and Eddie start off on a rough patch at first. Syn automatically has distain for Eddie in the beginning because he is Jamison's right-hand man. And Eddie, having to hang around Jamison 24/7, only hears the worst parts about Syn. Without even knowing each other, the two create warped ideas over how the other acts. Even so, Syn couldn't help but find some intrigue about Eddie; not just because of Eddie's past and how it led to him being the only human considered 'contained' by the foundation, but there was something about Eddie that Syn had never encountered before. Syn relied heavily on his powers--having the ability to manipulate others emotions made it easy to get what he wanted. The only person who doesn't seem affected by them is Eddie, who often reacts genuinely to what Syn says, catching him off guard at times. It both terrifies and captivates Syn, and he can't help but actually pay attention to Eddie when they're in the same room, trying to learn more about who this guy is, why he's here, what he did to get here, and how he's somehow the only person who isn't affected by his powers (or any powers, for that matter.)

The two have an awkward friendship at first, to say the least. Eddie is too anxious to talk to Syn, and Syn is too reserved to start the conversation. And every time they do seem to talk to each other, one of them always misspeaks or goes too far, abruptly ending things on a sour note. Not only that, but Jamison was practically glued to Eddie's side. And whenever Jamison caught Syn trying to buddy up with Eddie, he'd make sure to ruin the mood.

However, one odd circumstance leads to another, and Syn and Eddie find themselves alone together on more than one occasion, giving them time to open up about themselves. Eddie confides in Syn how exhaustive his work and Jamison are, and Syn realizes just how much distain Eddie has for the district. He realizes they both had their chances of experiencing the outside world snatched away by the foundation and how desperately they both wished to be free without the pressure of someone always breathing down their necks.

Syn soon finds a different way to distract himself, focusing his time and attention to helping Eddie with his work, taking some of the weight off Eddie's shoulders and giving Eddie a chance to actually take care of himself for once. This in turn encourages Syn to start taking care of himself as well, gradually helping him open up more and be himself again. Eddie confronts Syn about his sudden change in behavior, and Syn's choice of words (along with his own powers projecting his feelings), has Eddie believe Syn has caught feelings for him. This misunderstanding causes Eddie to act, and while Syn's reaction isn't quite what he expected at first (confused, conflicted, taken aback, etc.), Syn later admits he does see Eddie that way, though he's terrified to admit it knowing Jamison would tear him apart if he ever found out. His fears do come to fruition and the two desperately try to escape the foundation and Jamison's wrath. Syn goes to great lengths to ensure Eddie makes it out alive, even nearly sacrificing himself so Eddie could get away in time.

So, while Eddie manages to escape the foundation mostly unscathed, he's forced to leave alone, believing he lost Syn (I mean he sees Syn fall of a bridge and not come up after landing in the water--I don't blame him.) Eddie goes into hiding and at first nearly gives up entirely; but, not wanting to let Syn's sacrifice be in vain, Eddie follows Syn's last wishes and carries on, experiencing the outside world like they hoped to do together.

When Eddie finds out Syn is still alive, he is more than overwhelmed with relief. And although he desperately wants to see him, he's reluctant at first; worried that Syn might a.) Not like how much he's changed physically, but also that b.) Syn might feel Eddie's wasted his new life on the "mundane." He restrains himself from contacting Syn at first, but one drunken call later has Syn drop everything and haul ass to go see Eddie once again. The minute Syn sees Eddie's alive and well, he immediately takes him into his arms, just happy to be holding him again.
