I HAD TO DRAW SOEMTHING DOWN FOR MY DUDE!!! I have Thoughts about all all this but good god this mans been rally thru it, they both have. AND YET HUGS ARE SO FAR AWAY. Don't worry Solar, you get hugs later. I'm just gonna assume his moon wrote down that note for him.

tried to catch the eclipse on video through my diy shoe box projector. we had around 93% totality in my town but it was also extremely cloudy

I don't know how to describe the moment of totality starting. All of the lights around us, including the ones lighting the statue I rested against, had turned on 60 seconds beforehand. The sun still, still shined down on us, but it was dark out, like an ending sunset with the ball of fire still hanging above us instead of falling behind the trees.

And then the thin strip of orange I viewed through my eclipse glasses vanished. Yet I still could not look to the sky without them. For a few seconds, the rays still shined down around the gluttonous moon and upon us. But as I glanced up and away and up and away, I glimpsed the outline of the moon beside the dim, blinding sun as it moved the last few miles through space to reveal the sky's splendor.

Total Solar Eclipse 2024 - Fort Worth, Texas

[hypershadicman]

just finished watching Red @comicaurora's newest video on the eclipse video and dear god i have THOUGHTS because the eclipse really was incredibly fucking magical (link below if you haven't seen it already)

so i happen to currently be living in an area where the path of totality was going directly over, i didn't have to go out of my way to see the eclipse and admittedly much like Red, i doubt i would've searched it out if it wasn't coming right to my exact doorstep. Unlike Red however, i had absolutely no idea what i was getting into, aside of course from Red's last eclipse video which put me on to the fact that i'd be in the right place at the right time; i brought up a telescope with no solar filter assuming that "surely i'll be fine if i wear my glasses" (i was advised against it once i got there, so i did not melt my telescope), i had no expectations and no preparations whatsoever essentially.

but fucking hell it was beautiful, i realized very quickly that i had absolutely no way to capture the real effect of it with my shitty phone camera, the sheer vastness of it all was overwhelming but i think the thing that really got to me is just how indescribable it felt. How was i supposed to explain this to my family and friends who weren't in the area, counting on me to send them something back to capture the experience? how could i even find the words?

so hearing quite literally some of the exact same descriptions from Red was quite possibly one of the most gratifying things i could've imagined. it was like there was just a hole in the sky, it was this oddly ethereal pale, the rim dotted with little pinkish red somethings that i still couldn't believe were real when i looked at them. it really was suddenly just night time in the middle of the day and i had absolutely no way to share it with anyone, not to the extent that i saw it.

so uh, thank you to Red for letting me know that someone else gets it, i hope that everyone else who saw it feels a little bit less alone knowing that we all got to share a moment like that, and i hope anybody who didn't gets to see something that beautiful at least once in their lives.

oh, and for anybody who made it this far down into this clumsy rant, i may not have been able to get a good shot of the eclipse, but a friend of mine with a 4K camera captured a full 2 hour video of the whole thing, beginning to end. i don't think it could ever compare to the real thing, but it is by far the closest i think it's really possible to get.

(apologies if dropbox is a little unwieldy to use here, or if the quality isn't quite up to snuff, i've had to take this through a youtube video converter so it probably got caught up in youtube compression a bit)

word salad #12

oh shoot I'm back edition!

alrighty so, hi, it's been a bit. so I guess I should explain my absence a bit but I ended up getting a certain respiratory illness which included trouble breathing, headaches, nausea, fatigue, and it was so bad that it took me out for basically an entire week.....

yeah pneumonia isn't fun

anyway......

what have I been up to that hasn't been staying in bed all day while doom scrolling way too far in TikTok...

probably a tiny thing here but I reorganized my ipad icons a bit, keeping all the drawing apps on one screen (plus the battery info for the pencil), socials on the next, and games at the end. seems less overwhelming....and cuz I like the background art ^^; (art by @wavecipher)

solar eclipse! we had to drive out an hour towards the path of totality to be able to see it, but honestly this was one of the coolest experiences I've ever got to witness! pictures don't do it full justice and it's really hard to describe the mood. just being able to witness the moon slowly creeping in front of the sun slowly while experiencing this beautiful mix of daytime and nighttime vibes simultaneously....aaaa! I was really sad before I wasn't able to see much of the 2017 eclipse previously and I wanted to make certain it worked out this year, and just so happened that everything lined up perfectly (teehee) to be able to see this! (top pic taken by amber, the others by me)

butts! I ended up using a combination of pose to pose and straight ahead animation here. I wanted to try and push myself with this and experiment, and I'm discovering a bit that I enjoy doing things like water splooshes. down the line I wanna touch on more things like water ripples or fire animation too.

all of this happened before I got sick and bedridden and I was a bit worried that I would lost the drive to anima--

nope! still got it! I'm pretty happy with how this came out! I asked for a random object and a random action at home and got "apple" and "jumping" and I decided to add the bit at the end with it bonking and bruising itself. I used a mix of drawing individual frames, but also simple subtle transforms when the change was minimal anyway to streamline the work just a bit.

I originally struggled with getting the impact to look right. adding a smoke cloud and simulating a camera shake seemed to help with that (which I struggled originally because I tried to keyframe it in capcut but because it's animated of twos that came off weird and the earthquake effect didn't satisfy me either so I had to just manually move everything in toonsquid...which ended up taking less time overall anyway) I especially like the doubling/smear frame I made right before it hits the ground.

I think improvements I wanna make is planning out the facial expressions more. there is a point where the apple realizes it loses balance but I think it happens way too fast to be properly noticible at full speed. also I did abuse the transform tool juuust a bit much at the end so maybe I'll stick with reserving that for ease in and outs.

lately I've been in a bit of a Starfox kick. I ended up finding the N64 cartridge at a game shop (only $40 USD which was definitely a bit cheaper than I was expecting for a first party title) and I'm honestly really impressed with how well it looks compared to the NSO version on switch, particularly with transparency effects, colours seem bolder (the gold rings in particular stand out more), and how smooth the game runs overall (with occasional but expected slowdowns in certain areas). also the voice samples seem to sound more accurately to a radio signal. I also wanna see if I can get the 3ds version of SF64 sometime too and compare that.

alrighty so apologies for the extra word salading this time around but there was a lot to catch up on. hopefully I can keep up a bit more as I start to get back towards 100%
