Some fanart of this ancient figurine! Also got commissioned to draw her hanging out with a friend!
I’m running an Introductory Animation Workshop with creative arts students this Saturday (August 20, 2016) for The School of Creative Arts Open Day at Melbourne Polytechnic’s Prahran Campus. I’ve rotoscoped and broken down some of the greatest dance gifs to their basic poses and we’re going to collaboratively design characters then MAKE THEM DANCE!!
Come down, check out the campus and say HI!
I can’t wait to see the weird animated goofs that result from this workshop, I’ll post them in a couple of days so we can all be in awe of their hilarious spontaneity!

well i was thinking about what that’d look like for UA:
i imagine the account is run by a trio of incredibly jaded third year non-heroics courses students who’ve all agreed to drop out together to work at kfc if they can’t make it to graduation

also, Marinette doesn’t just train with Chat Noir. are u kidding me that would lead to both of them stagnating
so she does the next best thing she can manage
felix has some uhhhh competition,
This is gold
Hi I'm new here, and some people recommend me your feralnette au, but when it start? And what the au is about?
the feralnette au starts just after the season 3 finale, somewhat after miracle queen. Reaching a mental breaking point, Marinette can't handle her social life, her grades, being ladybug and being the guardian without giving up one of them. in an act of incredible sacrifice and self sabotage, she cuts herself off from the class to focus more on investigating hawkmoth, and to distance herself from her friends, believing some part of herself is the problem with akumatizations.
After such a change, the Marinette we have is much more jaded and much more tired, and in order to change her reputation of "everyday ladybug," to further distance her civilian persona and her ladybug persona, she begins changing her interactions with people in her daily lives - resorting to violence or sarcasm when in the past she would've been the first to talk things out. (thus, the "feral" part of feralnette)
shit happens. stuff gets wildin. we get a little blasphemous, a little heretical, and a little eldritched. talk about edgy. keep in mind I started this a few years ago (oh god) so some stuff isn't going to align with the new seasons of mlb.
Chapter One
Chapter Two
Chapter Three (ongoing.)
the pacing in the first chapter is a bit funky, as I actually wasn't planning on making it a full fledged comic, but something-something i have no self control lmao.
My friend Carissa started this on my behalf and I've already received more than I expected, but the donations have slowed and unfortunately it's looking like it'll be another few weeks at least before I can go back to work. I'd greatly appreciate any donation, no matter how small. Every little bit helps. Thank you!

The number in italics indicates how many spots a title moved up or down from the previous year. Bolded titles weren’t on the list last year.
Partiste a mejores lugares, no hubo adiós, solo un alma en calma que se alejó por aquel verde paraje, por un camino que lleva a la vida eterna y a la felicidad. Te ví alejarte con gran dolor en mi corazón, pero también con la certeza de que alegre te marchabas por qué cumpliste sueños, creaste ilusiones e hiciste grandes planes realidad. Y ví tu mirada serena, satisfecha/o de lo que habías logrado. Una mirada llena de paz y agradecimiento enarbolabas en el alma... Diste lo mejor de ti, amaste, fuiste amada/o, cometiste equivocaciones, acertaste en algunas ocasiones, tus hijos/as fueron buenas simientes, trabajaste infatigablemente, supiste ser empática/o, hablaste e hiciste cosas con humildad, fuiste responsable y a veces te gano el desgano. Tuviste grandes retos y en ocasiones fallaste, otras tantas ganaste. Pasaste por esa rueda de la fortuna que es la vida amalgamando sentires y sentidos o sin sentidos. Fuiste amor en la vida de alguien o más, el dolor en otras y una franca carcajada o ese abrazo sincero que requirieron de ti. Hubo días en que te sentiste loco, poeta y cuerdo. Aún así, también te dió por ser amiga/o, hermana/o, tía/o, madre/padre, esposa/o, amante y otros tantos títulos que te adjudicaste para ser emprendedora/or y sagaz. Hoy, hoy te digo adiós con lágrimas en los ojos, con una sonrisa que no va, porque me quedo con un gran dolor porque sé que ya no veré esa mirada buena. Pero mejor te digo hasta luego, porque sé que algún día, no sé en qué fecha, ni dónde y menos como, pero llegará ese momento en que te volveré a abrazar y de nuevo daremos gracias por volver a compartir alegrías juntas/os. Gracias por haberme hecho parte de tu vida y yo ser parte de la tuya!! Leregi Renga
Feliz Día de los Muertos to those who observe it!
May those who have come before be well remembered and may they find their way back to a warm memory.
And may those who do not deserve to be remembered find they have no place on the ofrenda. Just because they are family does not mean that they have earned a spot being honored.
