HELOOO

[Day 30]: TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL-

(Whenever i export animations, procreate sometimes messes up the colors a bit? It looks fine on my ipad, but the animation is desaturated on my phone, so here's what it should look like:)

Anyways, i thought it would be funny to draw Joel summoning Effo, inspired by Grian & Scar summoning mumbo during season 8. It turned out even sillier than i thought it would and i absolutely love it wkdhwjd

(explanation of the animation + sketch of the tail below!)

Also wanted to show off the sketch since it shows off the movement a lot better! I did end up changing a LOT (and even ended up adding some frames where i did lineart w/o a sketch inbetween... Oop-) but u can still kind of see the drag and offset?

So basically: since the tail isn't a stiff object like... A table or sth, it has multiple 'joints' (<-don't remember the proper term for it). Now, if u animated the tail just moving back and forth it would look v v stiff and wierd, since irl the tip of the tail would be "dragged along" with the bottom (<-aka the ACTUAL joint that the movement originates from). To create a more organic and realistic movement, you need to slightly delay the other parts of the tail. I usually use those lil circles to sketch this out at first, since its a lot easier to do without having to worry about shape and perspective and such.

(in theory i know wayyy too much about animation, but in practice im still struggling to do it bc i don't have much experience animating ekfhakdj- i do know the theory p well, which is why im hoping his lil explanation might help someone! Let me know if u guys want me to include some art theory lessons more often :D)

Okay, hear me out:

Evil x but they're a milk snake

Propaganda:

Milk snakes are harmless but look like coral snakes, which are a lot more dangerous (=ex attempting to be scary by telling everyone he's a coral snake)

THEY HAVE THE SAME COLORS!!!

ex is a derp evil and cool. Yk. Like a snake >:D

(thank you @livinggold for providing me a snake that LOOKS really dangerous but is harmless <2 and thank you evil X discord server for giving me the idea to make ex a snake)

I decided to make a lil sketch of Joel and Jimmy too :D im pretty happy w/ their designs so far!

GO READ WOLAU HEREEEE!!!!

...oh wait shit, i just realized, i might end up having to redraw some of the art I've already made for wolau tho, since i drew them differently there-

Lil wolau!Grian sketch! Yay :D

I'm still trying to work out their designs (especially like, facial shapes n how i draw their expressions n stuff), but hopefully I'll be able to post their finalized character designs soon!

Neighborhood & poe poe lore be like:

"Local communists* decided to get involved in capitalism recently, but upon trying to create their own monopoly on terracotta, they somehow managed to imideatly piss off the police. Now, they are planning to become mob bosses in order to retaliate against law enforcement**. This decision might lead to conflict between them, since one of them seems to already be part of the big salmon mafia-"

*still calling them "communists participating in capitalism (shopping district)" bc their jobs/minister positions outside of the shopping district aren't controlled by supply & demand and they all get equal pay (aka none). might rant about this more in a reblogg

**Quote from Cleo: "My first reaction to this was turning into a mob boss for some reason, [...]"

Grian with 2 sneaky snails on his shoulders

He's sneaking into Tango’s base....

OH NO! He got caught!

I wonder what I'll happen next...

[Art requests are still open but I'm doing them very, VERY slowly doing them, so be patient!]

My favorite trope will always be "X finds [insert incredibily dangerous species/thing/person/etc.] but has no idea it's dangerous. Everyone else is terrified and confused bc how is X still alive???"

[Day 15]: Falsesymmetry!

Have a false sketch i made in school! Funfact, I'm posting this during my lunch break and I'm currently omw to my next class wkdhwken

[Day 31]: Rendog!

Decided to make a lil animation of our favorite Gigacorp employee for today's hermitaday :D He's exploring the recently discovered planet he build his base on.

Oh! What's that??? Looks like he got spooked by something... It was probably just the wind or something, right? I'm sure its fine... :)

(closeups/non animated version below!)

Goodness gracious, i can't believe hermitaday 2024 is over??? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE COMPLETED AN ART CHALLANGE LIKE THIS LMFAO-

Everyone say thank you to my adhd meds!!! Are they working properly??? Nope. Not at all. But they r making me hyperfixate on things 24/7, mainly art, which is probably the only reason i completed this LMFAO (my grades on the other hand... Are suffering... Oop-)
