HOLLY SHIT I JUST FOUND A WAY TO INCLUDE KERALIS AND XISUMAS BEE-THEMED SKINS IN WOLAU

...Incase yall are wondering why the second chapter is taking so long, it's cause i keep coming up w/ new art ideas for it. Also, I'm only halfway through the chapter and already at 2.3k words... Oops-

I think ill only include the 3 artworks I've already drawn in this chapter so i can try n finish it this week, I'll just post Keralis' & Xisuma's bee outfits with their character designs (once i actually have time to get started on the character designs)

Yall my fam lost my apple pen like a month ago and i just remembered the wip art rq i cant finish now...

Dw, once i have time I'll just do them traditionally, but i had a secret life scar painting that was almost finished.... Arghhhh

[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-)

(them talking about the jizzy statue joel built:)

Lizzy: "is that my butt"

Joel: "no its like a dress-"

Lizzy: "its not my buttcheecks?"

Joel: "no its not your buttcheecks-"

Lizzy: "COULD it be my buttcheeks?"

Joel: "..."

Joel: "DO YOU WANT IT TO BE-!?"

Hehehe guess whos traveling to Germany today and going to dokomi con 💪

Im so excited!!!

(my lineup will probably be Mumbo on Friday & Sunday and Foosh on Saturday)

I really wanna do a Valorant cosplay

[Day 7]: Mumbo

Have a lil doodle cause im quite busy with school stuff! Hermitcraft art rqs coming soon :>

[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)
