i loved the reader who cant say no trope :') i used to be that way

CAN WE GET READER WHO IS SUPER ASSERTIVE AND HAS A THING FOR SPENCER WHO IS JUST LIKE IN BAMBOOZLES OF READER BEING SO COMFORTABLE SAYING NO AND BEING STRAIGHTFORWARD 🙏🙏

SIMP

I could not think of any way to write this well for a few days, so sorry for the late reply. Also, if you are reading this and you made a request, I promise I am getting to it, I've just been a bit swamped with work and writing this post.

Now then, no real warnings except some cringe in the way that reader relentlessly simps after Reid.

✨Enjoy!✨

Your first meeting with Spencer Reid was something he would never be able to forget, even with his eidetic memory. You waltzed up to him after one of his guest lectures with such confidence that he stood to the side, thinking that you would pass by him. But you didn't. You stopped in front of him, speaking words that he would have never had the courage to utter to someone: "Do you have a name, or can I call you mine?"

He remembers seeing the way your friends cringed behind you, the pick up line that left your lips clearly having made them uncomfortable. When he thought that you would move on after seeing the blush spreading all the way from his toes to his ears, thinking that maybe you coming to flirt with him was a dare, but you didn't. Instead, you uttered another sentence that he could feel himself cringe to as well, but you didn't seem to mind, your eyes too filled with determination to be put off by his facial expression at your request. "I lost my phone number, can I have yours?" He genuinely thought you were joking, but then you held out your phone to him.

In a stupor of confusion, Spencer entered his contact details, waiting for the punchline to come, proving that this truly was some sort of joke. Throughout the whole interaction he was wondering how someone as attractive as you would decide to come up to him of all people and used lines that not even Morgan had the guts to use to try and flirt with him.

It took a few weeks of you consistently sending him pick up lines along with good morning messages and invites to a date before he decided to ask Morgan for advice. It wasn't helpful. His friend had simply laughed in disbelief when told the story and was rendered speechless when he read the messages exchanged between you, most of them from your side. Spencer decided to go for it, after all, what was the worst that could happen, you hit him with another pick up line?

_____________________________________________________________

It was worse, so much worse. When he arrived at the designated spot to find you before going to the movies he was met with a bouquet of red roses with branches of baby's breath spread in between. It was a beautiful arrangement he greatly appreciated, but the fact that you gave it to him the moment he stepped out of his car and into your view, as well as the fact that it was a very public display of affection sent Spencer reeling into a stuttering and blushing mess.

The movie you picked out was a romantic comedy, and although Spencer laughed quite a lot, he could not really enjoy the movie itself, too focused on the fact that you held his hand the moment the two of you sat down. It truly baffled Spencer how you could be so nonchalant about how you approached him, you did things he would not have even imagined in his wildest dreams to have the confidence to do.

At dinner, you decided to take him to your favorite restaurant. It was a quaint Italian place a few blocks down from the movie theater. The whole walk there you were full of energy, talking to him and listening to him spew random facts about things that happened in the movie. Your eyes held such pure adoration he wondered if he might have hung the stars in the sky without even realizing it.

______________________________________________________________

Spencer enjoyed his evening with you more than he ever had with anyone else he had gone out with before. As he lay in bed, thinking about the kiss you planted solidly on his cheek after he dropped you off at your apartment he wondered again how it was possible for someone so bright and confident to be as interested in him as you were.

As he drifted off to sleep, Reid wondered where this unfolding relationship with you would take him, and he could truly say that he was excited to see what would happen.

[onecantsimply]

I'm gonna be blunt about this, so... 👀

Submissive Jack.

Face down, ass up.

Getting mercilessly fucked from behind by Male Reader.

Include bondage, edging, and extreme overstimulation.

I wanna see this man cry and beg.

He's not escaping.

Please and thank you. 🙏🙏🙏

Warning: Submissive Jack, massive overstimulation, bondage, edging, begging, crying, male reader being a teasing dick, and me not being able to write anything to set up the smut so we're getting right into it- 

I have no idea how to do bondage lmfao, so-

Ngl this was kinda rushed but I might write more smuts soon-

- RIGHT INTO THE SMUT LES GO- -

Jack clutched at the sheets, his nails digging through the fabric and into his skin. It ached from the strength of his grip, but seemed like nothing compared to the complete pounding he was receiving from behind. "(Y/n)... More gentle...! Ple-" Jack was cut off when (Y/n) had pulled him closer, the male's tip pushing right into Jack's g-spot. The gentleman was immediately rendered unable to move from his own accord. His eyes seemed to faintly twitch as they slightly rolled to the back of his head. 

He didn't know why (Y/n) was going so hard on him this time around. Usually, he was never so rough, naturally always going to Jack's preferred pace. But this time... it was a disaster. Perhaps something went on during his assignment as an assassin? He did seem slightly distressed when he got home. And yet, Jack couldn't do anything to help his own lover unless it was... this. 

So here he was, being used as a stress toy for his beloved husband. 

Jack could barely even breathe through the sheets. But if he lifted his head, he knew fully well that he'd be a groaning and mewling mess. Well, he couldn't lift his head anyways. Not with (Y/n)'s hand clutching his hair and keeping his head in the bed. Jack's eyes twitched once more before his head was tugged upwards. The male grit his teeth faintly, whimpering with every thrust (Y/n) gave into his walls. 

Well, even with how rough he was going, Jack couldn't say that he didn't like it. From how erect his dick was and how twitchy it was, there was no exception to the fact that he enjoyed what was being given to him. 

(I can barely even move... My legs... They're so... -Jack) 

The male faintly shivered as he attempted to lower his head. Yet, (Y/n) tugged it upwards again, making Jack whimper. He could feel his dick starting to throb upwards the closer he got to his release. "(Y/n)... Cumming..." Jack softly warned. The male immediately fell onto the bed with a pant the second the male let go of his hair. "Do you want that release?" (Y/n) questioned. His pace started to slow down. "Yes..." Jack muttered. He once again clenched at the bed sheets. "Then beg." A darker heat clouded his face. 

Did (Y/n) truly want to steal more of Jack's pride? More than he already has? 

"You can't say anything about it. After all, this is what you want." The gentleman immediately shivered upon hearing the complete truth. "And you want more... So beg for it." Jack bit at his lip the moment (Y/n)'s thumb rubbed against his tip. "I've..." The gentleman softly started. "Louder." The other man ordered. "This is precisely what I've wanted..." Jack muttered, attempting to think, even with how jumbled his mind was. "I've always needed pleasure like this... without ever touching myself..." He clenched at the sheets even more as his nails dug into his skin. "And... I ache for more..." Jack whimpered. He attempted to look down, only to softly shudder when his head was pulled up again. "I want more..." Jack softly begged. "Louder, Jack. That isn't enough." The male began to tear up when he felt (Y/n)'s thumb teasing at his rim. The man's nail was circling around his tip. "I want more of this...! Please keep going...!" Jack once again begged. 

"Ah... So cute, aren't you...?" The male panted, not even being able to reply anymore. 

He felt oddly humiliated, so why was it that his dick grew more excited when he had to beg?  Why was it that he got more aroused the more he had to endure (Y/n)'s touch? 

At this point, Jack fully understood one thing. 

In any situation, he'd be satisfied to get fucked by (Y/n) at any time.  And he'd want to get more, even if it requires for him to not be able to move by the next day. 

"Ah, you're a good boy... Your begging is so adorable..." Jack was immediately placed on (Y/n)'s lap before the male started to thrust up into him. The gentleman yelped for a moment. Yet, he began to slur as he melted into the arousal given to him. 

(Yes, yes... -Jack) 

The male felt his eyes slowly twitch. 

"There, there...!" He softly begged. 

(Y/n)'s dick immediately began to pound right into the man's g-spot once again. Right as it did so, Jack could feel his dick throb upwards. Even more so when (Y/n) continued to stroke at his entire dick. 

There was nothing Jack could do but get ready to cum. 

He slurred the moment (Y/n) had pulled him down to the very deepest part of his dick. 

Jack felt his cum gush out of his tip, especially when he felt a warmth invading his walls, most likely creating ribbons and webs of semen within him. 

The male could barely keep his eyes open. He could distantly hear (Y/n) chuckle as he gently kissed the gentleman's cheek. "You did good, Love..." Jack could only whimper in reply, slightly mewling when he felt the male pull out. "We have some aftercare to go through, so no falling asleep now, got it?" 

That somewhat felt impossible.  Jack just hoped he could stay awake as (Y/n) carried him to the restroom.

This is not a request but thank you for feeding the kengan community even in it's drought🙏 take this agito art i made (it was originally supposed to be copia but i forgot how to render him so I gave up😞)

Hello? hELLLOOOOOOOO???!?!?! omFG PLELWAASEEE POST UR ART MORE OFTEN WHAT THAAA HELLL!!! ITS MY TURN TO BE FED 🍴🍴🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍴🍴🍴🍽

[running-with-the-feels]

the lost daughter Frost au is so cool! I beg of thee, please give us more 🙏

eeeeeeeeee I am being enabled!

Kuai Liang, waking up after his resurrection: What.....what happened?

Raiden: You are human once more, Sub-Zero

Kuai Liang, suddenly wide awake, rocketting upward: Raiden?

Raiden: Yes, you are in my temple so that you may recover

Kuai Liang, trying to choke down the hope: And my daughter? Is she well? Can I see her? I know she will likely want nothing to do with me but if I could just see her-

Raiden: I am sorry, Sub-Zero. She is dead.

Kuai Liang is rendered speechless, staring at Raiden in shock as tears begin to stream down his cheeks

Kuai Liang: no....no, That's not true, it can't be

Raiden: Sub-Zero-

Kuai Liang: I'd know if she was dead! I'd feel it! You're lying!

Raiden: I am not, I am sorry but-

Kuai Liang leaps from the bed to lung at him, pinning Raiden to the ground and punching him over and over again

Kuai Liang: I gave her to you so that you would protect her! So she'd be safe! You were supposed to keep her safe!

Raiden: I tried.....

Kuai Liang: My daughter is dead! I gave her up for nothing!? How many years did I lose with her!? Her first steps! Her first words! I missed all of it!

Raiden: Listen to me-

Kuai Liang: NO! I am DONE listening to you! If it weren't for you, my daughter would still be alive!

Raiden falls silent as Kuai Liang stops his attacks, watching the god bleed

Kuai Liang: I never wanted to give her up in the first place. I only did it bc you convinced me it was the right decision for her safety and now she is gone. My daughter is dead because of you.

Raiden: I tried to save her

Kuai Liang, crying: You should have tried harder

(I think I need to make the reunion extra fluffy to make up for this)

Mei-Ling Design Notes and Inspiration 2/2

If you stumbled on this randomly, please go read part 1 first before engaging any further. Please and thank you.😊🙏

With that disclaimer said, now we gotta talk about the Dark Embrace Burst for Mei-Ling. To be frank, most of the origins of how I came to give it to her and Hsien-Ko is basically already stated in Hsien-Ko's design notes, so you can go there to get an idea.

However, I would like to talk about some aspects of Mei-Ling's design in this form. The first time I drew her, it was super simple.

The first big note of change was with @capyguava rendition of Mei-Ling.

The additional markings on Mei-Ling's face were honestly beautiful, so I reworked her face to incorporate some of those ideas. Later on, made a render that fully showed of some other details.

The markings at her legs and feet and the mirror on her back. Having the mirror on her back was not only a call back to how the mirror was on her in her main timeline design, but also just really love the idea of how all that Qi and Corriyami in her body just sprouts out from there. This shot from her ref sheet shows off how there are some changes to the mirror as the story progresses.

The latest full render of her Dark Embrace steps up to show how her shadow can really look.

However, I want to give special notes to these two commissions made by O_C_o_r_v_o and aamiraglia.

I love the ideas they gave with the way her shadow can look. Like a flame or like water. It is sublime and I want to keep these in mind for future illustrations. Last note about the shadow: the shadow dragon. While the form her shadow can take is only limited by Mei-Ling's imagination, I really want to note the dragon. In a way, it is a form of catharsis for Mei-Ling. Utilizing the form of a dragon to bring down those who oppose her and Hsien-Ko. But also, it makes her feel connected to her mother as the shape of the dragon is similar to their mother's dragon form. The memory of that night is still quite strong. Makes it feel like her mother is aiding her in battle. It is ferocious in appearance, like Mei-Ling in this burst. But it is still eerily beautiful in a way with its majesty, like Mei-Ling.

Now to talk about Mei-Ling when she was human.

Off the bat, she doesn't really look that different compared to the major changes Hsien-Ko underwent when she became a jiangshi. However, I still wanted there to be some kind of difference. The biggest thing would be her hair. This is where Murai Shinobu comes back into the picture. I cannot say enough my love for her designs of Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling and how much her 'Share' doujin means to me and helped to influence some aspects of the sisters for me. In a way of tribute, I wanted Mei-Ling's hair as a human to have the same general style that Murai draws for Mei-Ling: a straight bob cut.

Overall, rather normal and nice for this young mystic warrior. Her hair color was also different. While Hsien-Ko as a human had cool shades of black hair, I wanted Mei-Ling to have more warm shades of black for her hair. Not too drastic a change in hair color when she becomes a jiangshi. Her eyes were also changed. Again, kind like what Murai did, I went for some shade of brown for Mei-Ling's eyes. As for her clothes, once again a bianfu. As a twist, the colors of this bianfu are the reverse of her later beizi's color scheme. Also gave her red trousers as to keep her whole color scheme being very warm and vibrant.

In Darkstalkers, some crossover games they have appeared in, and even a number of anthology stories, Mei-Ling has been shown to be able to move and talk. To represent herself, she has a simple cartoon face of a pair of eyes and a mouth.

That is all well and good, but I wanted to go further. I got inspiration from this very funny random sprite of a card of the sisters doing a costume swap.

With that swap, Hsien-Ko became the ofuda. However, her ofuda form has her hair and a hat. I wanted to do the same for Mei-Ling. My first time drawing that is shown in the 'Jiangshi Tongue' piece I made.

Expressive and cute. However, when going about making the ref sheet, I stumbled upon this picture made by the wonderful artist skm_nnm.

I adore the idea of Mei-Ling being able to fly like a little paper spirit! Which… to be fair she is. So that detail is now part of her ofuda form for Cryas Darkstalkers. Some tweaks here and there, namely making her still feel like she is paper being and thus flat but giving enough details to her hair and hat in this form.

That should wrap things up with this very long two-part blog. I hope you can understand my sheer love and adoration for both sisters, especially showing a lot of love for Mei-Ling as she really deserves it. 😊💛

Lot of searching and thinking with an end result I am super proud of. I hope you take care and have a good day!

🍞 hey !! coming in real quick to say that you've inspired me a lot to do more blender stuff again.. almost gave up on it all together but seeing your renders made me dust it off and give it another go and I thank you a lot for that :] hope you're doing well, staying hydrated, and taking care of yourself (also very excited about the cog / toon blender ports, you're a literal lifesaver 🙏)

this means the world to me to hear 🥹 blender is a beast of a program and i am learning new things day to day but it makes me very happy that me doing silly stuff motivated you to pick it back up! it can definitely be a frustrating process but it's very rewarding. if you have any problems with the toontown models in blender, feel free to shoot me an ask or a dm and i may be able to help :o)

i am staying hydrated!!! (drinking water right now)

Ok I would really like to know how Maul reacted when Starlight told him she is pregnant and how she did 🥺😍 and maybe how the little Tomatos react that they get a little sibling...

And then only if it is not to much maybe...how was Mauls reaction the day Starlight give birth to the little Totmatos life 🙏❤

I think this would be the softest side of Maul EVER and I kind of need soft Maul atm 🥺❤

AWWW this is indeed just soft Maul content!!!

Given the content I will add a pregnancy warning on bottom

Well for starters it was very welcome news, the two had been trying for a family for a short time. Starlight had been suffering from some dizziness and nausea and low and behold the medical droid confirmed it, even gave her a data pad with the first pictures and tell tale hearts beating quite loudly.

A family of their own….

Starlight tells Maul they have some important news to share with him… He has been stressed from the work piled up due to thier ahem family making plans….

“Not another document.”

“This one you will enjoy.” Maul is frozen as the data pad plays the sound of heart beats.

“This is baby one,” starlight gestures to one side, “and here is baby two”

Two…twins…

Maul finds his fingers tracing the barely there shadows, couting the beats. Some how…some how he aided such creations.

“We are having twins” he manages to whisper.

Starlight nods with a small smile, “We are having twins.”

He turns to his Star and looks to them for permission, another soft nod and ever so gently places his hand upon their belly. “Right now they are very small..”

“For something so small they have me rendered weak.” Maul presses his face gently to Starlight’s belly, “ I’ll keep you three safe. I swear it..”

—--- I fucked up this is soft and sad and more focused on the twins so my mistake dear!

Little Cress and Aster wait patiently to hold their baby sister, it had been two weeks since her arrival but baby Dani was born just a tad too small and had to be kept warm and looked at by lots of medical droids.

They saw her a few times, a tiny baby in a see through box. She was a fussy baby according to Maul, she must be since thier father looked ever so tired.

“She needs all the love” their buir said, they sat by the box one hand inside holding little Danicas hand. “She feels better when me or your daddy are holding her, but right now she has to be inside for a little while.”

“She is very little” chimes Cress “Like my dolls” Aster adds, “But she is ever so pretty. She has curls like me..” “Buir she has eyes like you and me” Cress notes.

— Dani is much bigger and plump when shes placed in the twins waiting arms. She fusses this is not buir nor daddy, but she feels safe.

“Hi baby.” “Hello baby Danica”

She makes a soft sound and looks at the red round faces. “We wanted to meet you baby sister,” “I’m Cressie and this is Aster, we are your big brother and sister,”

They will keep her safe. Soft kisses are placed on her horns and curls. They will keep little Dani loved and safe

Writing behind-the-scenes: 1, 3, 4, 13, and 15? You write so much quality fic, it's got me really interested in your process for pumping all that out so fast haha.

aewin !!!!! hi hello thank u dear 😭😭🥺🥺🙏🙏 u are so sweet???? for context (x)

1. What was the first fandom and/or pairing that you wrote fic for?

i was a slutty lil dan and phil fan lmao. which i say with truly the most love and affection - i am very genuinely grateful for my time in what i would consider a very wholesome, supportive, and tight-knit community cause i think it really gave me the confidence and encouragement to keep writing and trying out new things (lmao)

3. Do you write fics from start or finish, or jump around?

mmm although i will put some dialogue or thought snippets into my discord for later use, i really genuinely cannot jump around while writing? and that's partly the fault of my characters, sometimes they just go off and do smth totally unexpected and i have to follow that train even if it goes off the rails lmao

4. Do you outline before you start writing? If so, how far do you stray from that outline?

lksdfjkl yeah this kinda goes along with the last one - i really cannot outline sdlkfjklsdf and there's a couple things that go into that? first is, ofc, characters do not like to do what i say lmao

which, i feel like i see this said a lot but without any explanation behind it for people who may not write/who might not get what this means? for me at least, it's not so much that characters 'have a mind of their own' exactly, it's more that once i get into the story, there might be decisions or actions or dialogue that comes up as i'm going and feels very natural to the characters/circumstances that it would feel forced or inorganic to ignore or to steer in a different direction. and sometimes, it leads the plot or characters in a direction i hadn't really thought about from an outside ("planning", i say very vaguely) perspective?

so there's that component lmao which often renders a lot of outlining or planning moot. but the other piece is that i suffer from 'end of the story' syndrome which i have just invented right now but basically, if i know how a story ends, i sorta...feel done? with it? and it's not so much like 'i know they get together at the end so i'm done' but more like. if i have a more solid concept of the specifics of the ending (events, dialogue, etc), my brain likes to tell me that i'm finished with the story - even when i'm only partway through, or close to the end lmao. so planning smth from the start (in what i'd typically consider an outline) tends to deter me from actually working on the story lmao

but! i do usually have some sense of direction at least, just a matter of how exactly i get there - ends like 'they get together' or 'this problem is resolved by this action/choice' or smth are usually vague enough to keep me motivated to see how exactly it plays out in the end lmao

13. Is there a trope you wouldn’t write if it was the last trope on earth?

uhhhhhh,,,,,,,,are there any that i detest that much? tbh i think i could be convinced to try writing anything once lmao. i think there are probably kinks i'd never write just cause i think i'd fail to emulate the vibe of like "this feels sexy" but trope-wise? there's probs stuff i wouldn't write often or more than once, but i'm always up for a challenge lmao. i have joked before that i think i could write 1k about pretty much anything, and i think i could write smth that i had a good time writing with the right story behind the trope

15. A Hollywood producer tells you that they want to film just one of your fics. Which fic would you want it to be?

ohhhhh oh boy. hm. i think to love (and be loved in return) (x) would fit the bill for like. fun fantasy world + mostly lighthearted and enjoyable romcom/fluff vibes with a little twist? if they're a producer that doesn't mind a little spice maybe my king of disaster series (x) i really think it'd be fun and very cool to see one of my fantasy fics/series come to life, especially one with more magic and a whole big cast of characters!!o

-----------------------------------------

Had a sudden urge to draw the third page for that one entrapdak fam comic I did a while ago :))))

I know explaining your own art is cringe and pretentious but I want to scream about this page so bad so please don't mind my silly commentary ><

Forgot to add, but here Anillis also calls Hordak "Poppy!". The very first thing baby Prime did when he saw Hordak was to give him a name (or rather a nickname)

Сomparing Hordak's eyes with poppy flowers, Anillis literally shows acceptance and appreciation for his imperfections, the very "defect" his (Prime's) future self will despise so much

Literally everything about the song and it's lyrics makes me wanna go feral gpfohpfphp (but it's so hard to translate i hate it here might've missed translation error too :/)

Hordak looking so lost, and vulnerable and younger and so full of HOPE-

I'm still unsure whether or not everything holo-Anillis did and said was pre-recorded so this part is up to interpretation

Either way, it's still not Prime who talks to Hordak and gives him the flower and smiles at him with joy and excitement. Prime is dead

AND THE FLOWER IS NOT REAL

also NOT a fun fact: In spacebats' culture a term "Flower eyes" was sometimes used when reffering to someone who is dead (and the fact that Anillis is pointing at his eye aka at himself HELP)

As well as they symbolize remembrance and eternal sleep(death) poppy flowers are also associated with sleep in general. In that case, could this image of Anillis be a hint that neither Hordak nor Kadroh are fully "awake" yet and still need to open their eyes to some things about themselves, their past and their dead tyrant brother? I dunno c:

Again, I'm so completely normal about this comic and this AU like-

Kur twins' outfit desgins

Sooo I finally sat down and decided on final designs for Anillis (young Prime) and his brother Hec-Tor!

These are their regular day-to-day looks (how they'll appear in my Horde Prime's origin story, or Kur twins au, how I'm going to call it from now on)

Despite very lazy simple rendering ( i wanted to focus on it more at first, but then the file crushed a few times so i gave up lol) I still can say these drawings are quite detailed, so tap/click to stare at them in higher quality c:

And if the bridges have been burnt

You'll find another way

When there are no words left

When screams turn into whispers

We will realize

That it was all just a painful experience

Oh wow can't believe Crystal Castles are such big spacebats fans that they dedicated a huge chunk of their discography to Hordak and his brothers🙏😔/j

My #1 post of 2022

An interesting Hordak/Entrapta parallel i can't stop thinking about

At a certain point in their lives both of them 1) were exiled and basically sent to die by someone who was important to them and whom they fully trusted (a friend/family/god) 2) got stuck in a strange place, isolated from the rest of the world/universe, all alone (lol speaking of trauma bonds...)

Two very similar and yet very different situations. And here’s the fun part: the main difference between Entrapta and Hordak’s stories is the opposite ways in which they react to their opposite circumstances, cope with and adapt to new changes

Week 10

Starry Sky and the Adventures of Water Simulation

I was getting really close to finished the water part of the last scene. The tutorial I followed was extremely helpful (and gave wonderful warnings about how to not make Blender crash 🙏)

The first finished water simulation, I noticed that for a calm scene, the water jumped around a little too much

some splashes are literally going so high up and back down

To help make the waves a little calmer, I turned down the power of the particles (to quickly explain, there’s a particle layer that pushes force onto the water simulation to give it that ripply wavy effect)

much better!

Also if you haven’t noticed, the HDRI did work! Although it’s not perfect with reflections, it fits with the scene really well. The above two videos are viewport render though

Here is the actual render with Eevee! With some variations

Also testing whether I should do rain

I wanted to try to make rain particle effects to add to the atmosphere but I ran into some issues...

It’s difficult to loop unless you time it perfectly

The “transparent” rain just look like dark blobs--not very good looking

The star rain idea looks strange when not falling from the stars on scene

Basically, if I would like to add some rain, I’d have to animate it myself through 2D. And I’m learning towards star rain, which would happen when the character enters the scene! Otherwise it’d be more calm.

Finally all the 3D scenes have been made! Now it’ll be time to focus on all things 2D.

Continuing Character design

The first character design acts like the base for the rest of the outfits this character is going to have, so I tried to modify it to reflect the specific scenes she’s in.

I wanted to go in order, but I was having trouble making her second outfit because I didn’t know where I wanted the outfit to end up. So, I started on the very last outfit in the starry sky scene:

idea sketches

I wanted something elegant, an outfit that shows her “final” fairy form while the outfit also staying true to her first one. I really liked the idea of long tails in the back of her dress, and I added some cute star decals as well. I also wanted her skin to be more blue pigmented around her hands and feet, but I thought about it and realized it’d be difficult to animate a gradient consistently.

The wings I wanted to also make star themed to complete the outfit and help reflect the scene. As the final wings, I wanted something ornate yet easy to draw multiple times, so why not have a connected pattern of stars. I hope will make it easier, while also being really pretty!

With the final outfit planned, I went back to the second scene’s outfit, a kind of transition period between the first and last scene. I wanted there to be a mix of elements from both that helps anticipate the changes the character is going through.

took a little longer with this one--idea sketches

Here her outfit alludes to the eventual tails, and the darkening of the clothes. Her wings are also simple and fit with the scene--since this is a transition period, she hasn’t fully formed her identity but just grew wings.

Side note: for the longest time, I didn’t know what hair accessories she could have on her head, as you can see in the sketches, I tried a variety of things: from flowers at the very beginning to pine needles and then finally landing on the idea of clouds on her head. It’s something I feel is iconic to the scene and to the time of dusk. I decided to make them asymmetrical too because having them be the same felt a bit funny. It could also represent the uneasiness in transition I suppose.

Turnarounds

Here are rest of the turnarounds!

rooftops dusk

starry night sky (with glowing accents to help her stand out of the scene more)

alternate colors to make it stand out more (not sure which is better)

Next Steps

Now that all the elements are now done, it’d time to put everything together into a final animation! By next week I’d hope to have the following:

An animatic of what’s going to happen

Or even a rough animation at this point of certain scenes done

Design some portals if possible (so that they look cool)

My idea has shifted a little bit since I’ve last done storyboards, so I hop nailing down the animatic will bring the same old ideas, while also help me finalize the newer details (like this last scene entirely)

In terms of what software I’m going to use, I’ve been debating between ToonBoom, a professional software used by animators, or use Blender grease pencil, a software that has been gaining a lot of traction and could help me just stay in one software.

Both are cool and I’ve heard some opinions from online, to people close to me, but I’m still wondering what’s better. Potentially I just may stick to Blender, but we’ll see

P.S: here’s the tuorial I used to make the water: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XJHc5xUFoM&t=1281s

if it wasn't for that college town x.

thank you to @plasma-janes for the song recommendation that inspired this, but also i hate you for putting me through the feels 😂 no seriously thank you, it fits them so well, please listen to it if you haven’t!

i had to make a sad render to mark what’s coming soon 👀 i think my queue has one week left with clair and then she’s gone.

once again a huge thank you to @mokah for your services to the macmahon legacy 🙏🙏 i took a sneak peak at the heir aged up and they look so much like clair 😭

i haven't got the chance to try and fix my game yet but i should be free tomorrow to give it a shot. thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions on what to do!
