Listening to “Don’t mine at night” at work rn and just remembered that a couple months ago I heard “Last Friday Night” for the first time in my life while visiting some friends. I grew up thinking it was original, I seriously have no clue how I never heard what it parodied before but imagine my confusion

Hey I just came to my senses and Binged your Recks au Tag, and Boy do I wish I've been here from the Beginning. Curious if you're mostly keeping the Au based in season 8 or if you just take inspiration from the series as it comes.

Either Way, I've been in a long-time hermit-art slump and your stuff is Mad inspirational. Maybe it's Corny... I know I'm just a rando on the internet, but I hope you can understand how personal i mean this when I say your Recks Pearl has One. Of. The. Most. Appealing. Character. Designs. I have seen in Forever. Been months since I've reacted to a piece of art in the same way as seeing that one.

thank you so much for sharing your art

...

Also what kind of robot would Joel Be: closer to grian or pearl?

the au is mostly based on s8, but there are elements from previous and later seasons! plus it has its own "storyline" going so i pick and choose which elements to keep and which to pass.

and im so happy to know that you like pearl's design :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she's one of my most favorites, both in form and function the design is so fun and unique! like, changing forms and transorming while still staying pretty much the same, her arms being able to switch positions in the shoulder joint, the three bends in the limbs, her being absolutely massive..... pearl is just so cool 🤧

for your joel question.... im not sure, again i haven't thought about his role yet, where he would be or with who if anyone... but, hmm. i might take some inspiration from his empires1 "lore" and his hc intros, by him having a lot of copies who are technically the same robot but also different somehow? in which case he would be more easily manufactured so uhhh... i guess somewhere in the middle between pearl and grian? maybe a more humanoid model? sorry i have no idea, i really need to sit down and draw to figure it out

This looks amazing, and looking at it first I was like “cool” then I was like “Whoa” then I was like “WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!” Everything about him is perfect, but I don’t know what possessed you to give tango 4 arms! It is somehow the MOST PERFECT DESIGN I’VE SEEN TO DATE!!!!

(your art is always a treat)

well, uhmmm.... hm

Hoping their feud continues cause I would really like to animate a video of doc dunking on big salmon, but need the proper motivation

Consider

1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai. 

2. Previous post on breakdowns right here 

Some thoughts on acceleration and force

I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns. 

Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful. 

Not so much of a tutorial than a personal experience. I hope you find this interesting hahaha

etho s lab in outfits (gonna draw him in a sweater/hoodie combo now bc its cute) + a more "skin accurate" design for funsies

Also Writing this out made me realize I've fully experienced 7 seasons and that's crazy to me (o -o) time flys

At this point I will say the suspense is killing me. I've been watching Hermitcraft since season 2 and I think I can honestly say that Season 10 has got to be my Highest Anticipated Yet
