Slightly edited this cause i noticed a lil mistake (one of the frames was longer than it should be)
Does this change anything big or noticeable about the animation? ...yesss? Uh. Definitely. Mhm. I'm not just being a perfectionist for absolutely no reason. Yep! /s/j
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-)
Please tell me im not the only one who needs a tuff guy and bad boys crossover
HAHAHAHA THATS HILARIOUS OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT
Okay i lied, I'm gonna keep spamming your inbox with bbc/hc ghosts (if that's alright with you)
I JUST WATCHED THE EPISODE WHERE THE PREHISTORIC GUY LEARNS ABOUT THE MOONLANDING AND. I WAS SO EXCITED AT FIRST CAUSE I THOUGHT ITD BE RLY CUTE, BUT THEN HE LEARNED ABOUT CONSPIRACY THEORIES????
I feel like thatd fit bdubs so well too. Just like in the show, hed watch some sorta conspiracy, and then ends up obsessing over it. Or something supernatural. Maybe he'll start thinking that etho is a vampire or something and get scared.
Or... Or mumbo gets into the conspiracies. Im thinking of the no-sleep moon club in hc s8 specifically. Either bdubs goes down the rabbit hole first, then tells mumbo about it, who gets terrified and almost has another heart attack, or mumbo finds out about it first and believes it, even tho he really should know better considering he died so recently. (idk why but I feel like mumbo would definitely fall for a conspiracy. Not bc hes silly, just because hes so anxious, even the possibility of it being true makes him freak out so much he just HAS to make sure nothing happens.)
Either way, mumbo ends up refusing to sleep, either bc he has nightmares, or bc he like. Heard about some moon big conspiracy from Bdubs and now thinks the moon will get jealous if he sleeps-
wait. The moon getting jealous? Isn't that just. The my little pony plot. Is. Is hermitcraft season8 a my little pony au??? Wait what.
(if i sound insane ive just been writing a historical paper for 10 hours straight, just pretend this makes sense if it doesn't)
Honestly. Real. I could see some shit like this happening. I'm half imagining Cleo being involved somehow. Like. Actually I can imagine Joel watching some wacky conspiracy show for shits and giggles. Bdubs, Cleo, and Mumbo are all watching over his shoulder. Bdubs who has been largely unexposed to a lot of things happening outside the UK over the years is a little gullible about it, and Mumbo, the know it all that he is, has to keep correcting things. Cleo, who just wants to enjoy the show, makes up something ridiculous about the moon to fuck with them and scare them off for awhile and things get. Incredibly out of hand over the span of a week. Cleo tries to tell them she lied but they're in too deep to believe her. They all end up having to stage some kind of ritual to appease the moon to get the two of them to shut up about it and go back to normal

[Day 11]: Pearlescentmoon
Look at me actually doing lineart and not just using a cleaned up sketch LMFAO
Im using this challenge as an opportunity to experiment w/ my artstyle a bit, especially w/ digital art since I usually draw traditional art, so let me now how u like this :D
(Hermit art rqs open!!!)
Since yall seem to like my other AUs/headcanons, I've decided to rant a bit about my 'main' one :3 (kept vague to avoid spoilers)
Small summary: (more indepth rant below)
it's a villan & hero hermitcraft / life series / empires au, focused on bad boys (at least during the first arc). Joel creates a bar as a cover for a fighting ring/information selling business, joined by pearl effo gem grian and jimmy. Grian refuses to participate in the criminal activities at first, but doesn't rat them out either. (inspired by his resisting the resistance thing in s9)
However, as u can probably guess, this doesn't last long and he slowly gets more n more involved, especially once random people mysteriously start getting "the red curse", which he recognizes from his past... (hehe watcher lore) Grian continues to pretend to stay uninvolved while trying to keep the Watchers at bay behind the scenes, even going as far as creating multiple alter egos / secret identities in order to hide his involvement.... (poultry man, cute guy, mother spore,...) Sadly, the Watchers think identity reveals are incredibly amusing and make it their mission to reveal Grians secrets... :)
Now, lil poll bc i wanna know yalls preference:
Im not a very experienced writer, so I can't guarantee the fics would be any good- while i def prefer comics, it would take a long ass time and I'm not sure whether its a good idea since i tend to loose interest in projects p fast wkdhakdj
Still debating what to name it, I think ill call it "Web of lies", "Wolau" for short LMFAO. Im not very good at naming things 😭 suggestions are welcome!!!
Some more background info:
Joel is a fairly new villain who has decided to start a business focused on fighting rings, selling information and just generally doing criminal stuff. (inspired by his secret fighting club in s10). He hires Gem and jimmy, two ex-vigilantes who became a bit more... Villainous. Their cover is a normal bar, which ofc means they also need normal employees who won't snitch. Jimmy suggests Grian toJoel, since he's a retired informant. He basically started out as an investigative journalist in another city, but got more n more involved with both villains and heroes (which is how he knows jimmy) before joining a cult (watcher lore watcher lore watcher lore-) and suddenly dissappearing.
Although he went missing a few years ago, they manage to track him down. He joins, but tells them he's not involved in the world of villains anymore and that he wants to stay out of everything (so hes basically working in the bar that they use as a cover as a 'normal' employee and turns a blind eye to anything criminal going on)
That's kind of the start of the story? Afterwards, Pearl, a villain who used to be a vigilante that worked with Scott (<-number one hero), then got betrayed by him and is now plotting his murder, joins in. Later on etho joins, who is originally sent by the hermits as a spy (<- p big villain&vigilante alliance in the city) but ends up deciding to side w/ them. (BOAT BOYS BOAT BOYS BOAT BOYS-)
(pearl & Scott's conflict is ofc a double life ref and etho is a mycelium resistance ref, he also ends up finding out about some of grians secrets and helping him behind the scenes)
Although its focused on the members of the bar, later on it focuses more on other hermits (since they get more involved w/ the villain group "hermits" which most of the hermits are a part of) but there's also some side stories that focus on other ppl (there's a whole side story about Ren and Doc getting to know each other after Ren gets infected by the curse, or martyn whole listener thing & how it's connected to renchanting/ren getting cursed and the Watchers showing up in the first place... But i dont wanna spoil too much :3)
Oh also! Hermits r mainly criminals(vigilantes, villains, big salmom mafia,...) and Empires members r usually heroes! But there is some exceptions to this rule. (jimmy n martyn for example)
ANY KIND OF QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS R WELCOME!!! might not be able to answer everything bc of spoilers, but ill def try to do some foreshadowing instead :3
[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)
hi!
may i have an evil x resting/chilling out?
Here you go! Hope ya like it :3
Yes hes wearing zeds hoodie n slipper
Important question for my hermitcraft fic/au
