Currently trying to figure out the chronological order for wolau...
Im trying to base.. Certain "events" off of the life series right
BUT I NEED STH THAT HAPPENS DURING SECRET LIFE TO HAPPEN EARLY ON AAAA (aka grian and effo teaming up w/ the warden and wither)
So now im just like. Making lists of things and trying to put it in the right order LMFAO
Also shortening some stuff bc... I feel like what i currently have would "drag on" for too long, so i gotta fix the pacing a bit. I wanna finsih planning out most of it before i post anything else cause i tend to be indecisive and don't wanna accidentally lie LMFAO-
[Day 9]: Skizzleman!!!
Skizz is so Acap: Assigned Cop At Permit-office
Anyways, fun fact about this: i didn't realize skizzes poe poe skin had booty shorts, i just added them for funsies bc the original wing design would have hidden them from few. However, when i looked up his new skin mid drawing this, i realized HE DOES IN FACT HAVE SHORTS??? and i couldn't resist moving the wings a bit to show them off LMFAO
[Day 8]: XB Crafted
XB, EXCEPT HES THE GROCERY STORE™ CEO! (<-i dont rly watch xb, but i DO watch gem & Beef, thro their vids ive found out exactly two things about xb: he has a grocery store and he makes rly good interiors. So obviously i had to turn him into a girlbossing CEO/j)
Wanted to challenge myself and only use 5 colors, here's the selection! (<-excluding the background, which is see through versions of them)
OH
OHO H OH
can i dm u abt my au
its a watcher grian au
Ohhh yes sure! I love hearing about other ppls AUs :D
Sharing this bc I need to rant about the absolute chaos the process of making this was
1st pic: sketch of the face. 2nd: finished version
Basically, our teacher realized we had to make sth for a gallery she forgot about and decided we would quickly draw coal figures inspired by / copying Käthe Kollwitzes artworks*
Since I'm rlyyy behind on our current big/main project, I had to rush this coal drawing in like an hour. (other students had 1-6 hours) and well.. Rushing a life sized coal drawing is def not a good idea wkdhkwej
EXCEPT. That's not we're the chaos stopped. Not only did i forget my coal eraser at home, but i also realized after making the sketch that this WASNT coal, it was chalk, which u can barely erase... (It was 7am alr, i was too tired to notice i was using a different black stick than usually-)
Usually when i use coal, i apply a bit much at first & then use my eraser to create value, but now that obviously wouldn't work... Not only that, but by the time i realized you couldn't erase this properly, i was already done with most of the sketch...
(* is bellow)
*kind of like a collage, but instead of cutting them out we drew life sized version with coal. We also arranged them differently than in her artworks & used figures from multiple of her artworks.
Ik that online, "copying" other artists tends to be a bit controversial, but most art schools use it a LOT, since it's a great way to learn from more experienced artist! ("why reinvent the wheel if someone else already did it for u already?") It's just for studying tho and we don't pretend it's our original artwork/idea or sth... That would just be plagiarism LMFAO
Actually i wanna rant about this more at some point bc i do not like how the whole tracing drama influenced the online art communities view on learning from other artists...

“Vote Tibbycaps, [the submitter is] going insane, because, yes, not only he is irl trans. But how does everyone miss that he just is trans??? [They] don't even know how to describe it. Like, he just feels so trans. As a person. The gender is strong with him. Even if he were cis he'd still be trans. Does that make sense? Like. Augggg [they don’t know] how to actually. Put this into words. [They] can't handle this, Tibby is the best, most transest, he deserves to win this!!”

FULL PIC OF THE MUMBO COSPLAY!!
(i made the box + pants )
for the ask game!
Mumbo and Iskall
Martyn and Scott
Ehto and Bdubs
OHHH I LOVE MUMBO AND ISKALL SO MUCH!!! they are so silly oh my god. The constant back n forth pranks? Mumbo adding blocks to the monstrosity?? Or standing still while talking to iskall??? They are so silly oh my god. I'm so glad i started watching both of them this season!! Don't rly ship them but they r an absolutely amazing duo and i hope i get to see more of their interactions during season 10!!!
Martyn and Scott... Mean gills! Imma be honest, it's been a WHILE since I've watched scotts limited life, but i remember them being quite entertaining :D their skins were so cool. Personally i don't ship them, but i def get the appeal. They a rly fun duo tho, especially during a life series! (i actually am searching up limited life as i type this... Looks like I'll be rewatching scotts vids again LMFAO). I generally think Scott, the sassy calculated one and Martyn, the dramatic roleplayer, are an amazing combo.
EFFO AND BDUBS!!! They r v silly. I haven't seen a lot of their interactions yet, since I've only watched effos season 8-10 and only recently started watching Bdubs s10, but their horse race project in season 8 was so cool! Im so sad they didnt get to finish it :( i don't rly ship them, but i think that's literally just bc of my boat boys hyperfixation... I did read a rly cool romantic longfic w/ them a while ago! It was p good :D other than that, i love their dynamic sm. Like, ethos 'calmer' teasing and Bdubs loud and dramatic personality make for some absolutely hilarious moments. Also, i wish they did a project together cause i absolutely LOVE both their building styles and i rlyyy wanna see them collaborate on a build!!! It would be so coolllll
[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)
I PROMISE IM WORKING ON WOLAU YALL, I JUST KEEP STARTING WITH NEW CHAPTERS INSTEAD OF EDITING THE OLD ONES 😭
Imma post chapter 7 this week tho, it's alr finished, i just gotta draw the artwork for it first 👍
