[downthedraincomic]

Artfight is coming and I gotta make new refs for my guys, here's a crusty wip that sucks

[harmonytre]

What to Expect Coming Up

I am still sick, but thought it’d be fun to mention all the projects I have going on and my sort of process.

I’ve gotten into the flow of 3 art -> animate an hour -> 3 art -> reference sheet; and repeat! Now the “3 art” doesn’t include warm-ups, which I’ll discuss in a moment. This usually varies but does have a pattern of priority to it.

Commissions (none atm, but one has discussed interest) -> Deadline art (contest entries, featured character, birthday gifts) -> “Required” art (raffle prizes [2 remain], Benrey project, 11 Bulbasaur gifts, 42 late Artfight attacks) -> Other stuff

When it comes to warm-ups, I’ve gone 32 times in a row of purely HLVRAI. It’ll still be thrown in the mix, but I’d like to add Pokemon and OCs as a chance too! Warm-ups include any requests I get, and those increase in chance the longer they’re there. Meanwhile there’s still the chance my random wheel will choose something like “Sunkist” three days in a row lol.

Now to discuss all the projects! First off, my next three art will be: raffle prize, a small special RTVS animation, and a doodle of my next hyperfixation which I’ll then open up for requests as well!

HLVRAI

“Cabinet Man” Animatic: A more long-term project that’s fully storyboarded so far, but I plan on making rendered (or at least colored) illustrations for.

I have two parts in my Multi-Animator-Project! One part is Benrey and Gordon focused, while the other part is Tommy, Bubby, and Coomer focused, so I get to animate the whole Science Team and that excites me!! (One part still open by the way, hint hint.) The MAP itself is a third of the way complete let’s goooooo!

Other animation projects include: “Two Birds” Tommy and Benrey friendship animatic (fully written), “Eighth Wonder” Tommy animatic (just an idea, focusing on the others first), and occasional clips or mini animations.

Benrey Fanart (and then the other characters too!): I have 12 people left to reach out to, but I gotta do it slowly so my account doesn’t get shadowbanned again (that was scary ngl). But once I do, the sign-up post will be updated regularly as I work and I’ll DM everyone individually as I finish theirs!

@sweetvoicecafe ! I am very excited to get this up and running! I have 3 references remaining, and then I can work on the introductory comic. (I mayyyyyyyy call for voice actors.)

HLVRAI-based OCs: This is a more minor thing, but I want to finish 9 more designs before Artfight, as I’ve only finished Joshie.

Pokemon

It’ll be a while longer until it’s ready, but I’d like to restart my Shiny Living Dex Challenge. And it’ll no longer be discord only, I’ll extend it to tumblr as well! Especially since there’s art prizes involved.

I have 11 remaining Bulbasaur/Ivysaur/Venusaur gifts to finish!

The occasional warmup, request, doodle, etc.

“Close Up Meme” Phanthop AU Animatic that I would love to polish and color.

“Never Love an Anchor” Hop and Leon animatic that I have indeed started (just an animatic this time, not polished)

I’ve started releasing collab (with @mr-web ) Art Podcasts on my youtube channel hint hint ;)

Misc.

Streams: Over on my Twitch (same name): I stream weekly (maybe more, depending on my new work schedule, just finished moving after all). At the moment, I’m taking turns with Half Life (nearly done with game one) and Omori (collab with Doglord15). Soon it’ll (hopefully) include Pokemon, but I’d also like to try Undertale Yellow, Portal, Hollow Knight, and more! As well as a return to art streams, that’d be cool.

Artfight Prep: I am mostly done, but remaining I have: 3 SVC refs, 9 HLVRAI OC refs, and fully updating my spreadsheet, which will also be updated on tumblr! (I may do this today, as it’s something I can do while bed-ridden.) Plus the 42 leftover revenges.

Among Us “Bark Bark” Animatic: nearly 3 years in the works but it’s chugging . . . there were complications with the cameos involved that hurt my motivation and the progress, but it’s still in the works haha…

“Haunted House” Vent Animatic: This is 2/3s of the way complete! As it’s something personal, I worked on it quickly after a certain event, but I’d still like to finish it. <3

New Hyperfixation: Surprise reveal! It’s Wreck-It Ralph (and specifically Hero’s Cuties). It won’t be a huge thing, but I’d like to doodle here and there, open requests for it, and draw up three AU designs that have been in my mind for nearly 13 years.

@theairshipexperiment : Yes yes, I knowwwwwwwwwwwww y’all are mad at me. It’s been three years and I still get people upset that it hasn’t continued. It’s not completely canceled, just very very slowww. I’m nearly done writing chapter 3, but that means there’s 7 chapters to go. At least I’ve started giving myself completely random reminders for times to write haha. It’s my only writing project atm, but writing takes so much more effort from me than art, I’m sorry.

@absurdamongus : Very low on my list, but I still enjoy their designs and would one day like to continue finishing their refs and maybe reopen an ask blog. An animated series would still be cool, but it’d be a long way off if so.

So yeah, a lot of projects and a lot of excitement! I’m going at a fair pace (when I’m not sick) and art continues to be my passion! <3

Been trying to push my motivation to make references for Artfight.. it’s not going well

I got to Wok’s drake companion and called it a day (yes his name is Slug)

Next up on my refs to redo list: Evergreen (that fucking elf that I hate) ough girlie I’m gonna hate doing you a new ref but it’s gotta happen, just not today

Some doodles (don’t look too deeply into the Valour one I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, he’s fine)

And finally

I drew my pokesona or smth after like

A year cause my friend asked for their ref and reminded me I probably needed to make them a new one.. (I can and will just use the unshaded version on this)

They’re literally just an idiot with anger problems (would absolutely fight you and win)

I’ve still got a commission I need to do.. and at the minimum 2 refs I have to work on

Fuck my stupid chungus life

[ayanathedork]

finally all my soda fellers got proper references

took a while but i made it happen, now i just gotta work on other refs for artfight instead of making new characters because why would i do that to myself

[mobbothetrue]

Been wrestling with a sudden burst of like. Creative-gotta-do-something-NOW energy with no outlet and I think I’ve managed to wrestle it sufficiently well into getting a head start on three new refs for characters for artfight

and the reason I’m making this a tumblr post is because I’m actually really happy with how they’re looking and I wanna show them off

from left to right: Merlin, Arthur, and Lance

[extra-anchovyz]

Not too bad of a day

Decent amount of commission work done. Not pushing myself too hard cause i know that my energy level is lower than usual cause of healing shoulder pains

Happy about the progress i made on an artfight attack on a friend

His oc who's such a sweet man who likes gardening

Doug if you see this..no you didn't ..its not done..

Im looking forward to the weekend to play more fall out new vegas

I gotta go look through all the screens ive been taking. I was thinking of making a game journal to keep track of lore and plot and stuff and add in appropriate screens too

(Ive been enjoying Journaling more. I read my old LiveJournal entries sometimes and just kinda wish i wrote more in dept about my days even if it's mundane

It's nice to record stuff)

///

Feeling like wanting to draw like traditional ink wide shot environment piecss of grungy liminal spaces with like an oc for spacial ref

But i rarely get around to drawing all the inspired stuff i wanna do and then it passes

But im thinking about trying to draw these ideas anyways even if the vibe passes, it could still be something i enjoy and maybe enjoy more later on too

Maybe i could like try to write descriptive small pieces to like record the vibe im expericing and then use that as a starting point to draw later when i have time.

Just trying to think of ways to explore personal art even with limited time and busy work schedules

[captain-of-silvenar]

ArtFight on the horizon and I gotta make up some refs for some new toons on the brain, but hopefully this can encourage me to get back into drawing.

Planning on joining Seafoam team, will post link whenever that happens ;p

6/30/23 pt 1

Well the book came in yesterday and I don't know why no one mentioned it but it turned out to be a Jesus book. Hopefully, I can get a refund because I bought it second-hand. But how the fuck did no one mention that as part of the book, like it's the whole thing not just a little aside on the author's personal progress. It's already hot out today, not good at all, hopefully I won't be as hot and pissed as I was yesterday. Why the fuck are men like this? You're nice to them cuz it's a work environment and then boom they think you're into them. I'm really grossed out because he JUST found out I wasn't a minor, so he was actively creeping on me while thinking that. And I mean creeping, up in my insta DMs, getting way too close and hovering over me when I can't leave my post, and that fucking look ugh. If he doesn't back the fuck off after this I will create a shit storm so vicious. Today better be better so fucking help me I will break something. I'm already annoyed the book I do wanna read is too big for work, all the other books in the series are perfect, hand-sized paperback novels. But nahhh, #4 has to be big and hardcover, with a dust jacket. I'm like really into the story too so I just gotta read it. Can't do much over the weekend cuz I gotta draw. Artfight is finally upon us yippieeeee! If I make a new ref for Mantus I'll toss him back into the game, same with Maxie. I should make a general Toyhouse profile so people can just choose what to make me. The only thing that's stopped me before is like the thought of "oh what if I like this dude more later on- ISOPOD YAY. Anyways, what if I like the dude later on and want to make them their own profile but then all the pictures won't be together. But no one would give a shit about that except me. Damn, there is like really no one here today and I know the nurse-curse doesn't apply to me because I've tried to invoke it many times on a slow day. Yay Shelby is here she's so pretty, Shelby is the hawk that I think lives in the water tower. I only think so because she's perched up there a few times. This job is so goofy cuz I just get to hang out and do as I please. Thinking about it I've invoked a lot on accident before. Not like fuckin' witch spells or whatever, I mean like stupid shit like saying Macbeth in a theater, superstition shit. 1/2

[tomswifty-fr]

my prospective brightshine entry is uhhh very similar to one that’s already been posted and that has me nervous bc i started working on it last month so i didn’t copy from anyone, but no one knows that.

but! the good news is now i get to mess with it and make edits so it’s not so similar and actually it’s looking a lot more interesting now
