Made some shot glasses with the MSA Ghost skull emblem and spiky vines. Messed up a little and got kind of terrible overspray going on. Didn't mask off high enough nor was careful enough with the airstream direction while sandblasting, so there's some obvious frosting on the insides of three of them, and some less obvious but there-if-you-know-what-to-look-for on a fourth. One each of the big-skull-some-vines and small-skull-more-vines turned out fine.
Made these over a year ago, but didn't photograph them until today.
If MSA Ghost were to be animated today, given the changes in animation technique and experience from when it first came out, what do you think would be the most major difference from the original?
It would definitely be even more freelance help from other animators, special effects artists, background artists ect etc. It would also depend on if we had a bigger budget to work with other then paying out of our own pocket and funds from patreon for our current wonderful freelancers who are helping with video 5. :)
The Future was the first time we used outside freelance help and it makes a huge difference, though it had its own share of learning curves since we kept production close to our core group for so long.
so i saw this old-ish post about an au centering around a villain lewis and a hero arthur,,, and i. may have gotten attached to it,, dkdndkdjs. so i decided to make some edits + doodles based on it!! i also really wanna make a lil oneshot about it as well,, but uh... whether or not i actually follow through on that, we'll see,, skdjsojdks.
“I think I’ll just sketch this concept,” the artist says to themselves, not realizing they’re already domed by the narrative. *Proceeds to spend 10 hrs+ on hyperfixation bullshit*
(Seriously tho I learned so much throughout my process of drawing this!)
This was an idea I had for “One of Us” that will not make it into the fic, just because it doesn’t fit my plans. HOWEVER. Imagining Mystery disguised as Ricky to torment their enemies was too fun and on-brand not to draw. I then got carried away with said “sketch” (the last panel), made it MAGNIFICENT, and then created the rest of the comic to give it context.
Mystery Skulls Animated glitter jar, sandblasted with the MSA skull emblem and filled with pink glitter and glow powder in mineral oil.
[Video description: Small glass jar with black plastic screw-top lid, held between thumb and index finger. Size of jar is approximately 3.5cm total height and 1.5cm in diameter. The outer surface is sandblasted with two Mystery Skulls Animated skull emblems, on opposite sides of the jar. The jar is filled with a mix of pink glitter and glow powder suspended in clear mineral oil. First part of the video is a slow turnaround of the jar, showing off the sandblasted parts. The glitter and glow powder has settled to the bottom of the jar.
Second part of the video shows the jar being flipped and twisted around to get the the glitter and glow powder cascading down and swirling around. Third part of the video is the same twirling-about thing but in the dark, to show off the pink glow. End description.]
