And now as I was scrolling through my older posts, I realised what my mistake here was ... I think the pacing of the animation is completley off. He's falling way too fast ... it feels weird. Maybe if I find the file I could try to continue ...
I am trying to animate again :D
but nothing too big this time.
I was thinking about, how one of my OC's powers would work, and I had a little idea for a loop (after watching a sick fighting animation on Youtube, just that I couldn't figure out how to make something like that, so I'll just make a loop)
Anyway, I wanted to animate my OC Kael (Guardian of Time) and even with the keyframes, I am already impressed with how that looks.
Sneak peek below :D but don't expect too much
Note: Roughing it out, setting basic proportions, and so on ... I don't know if my timings are fine or if I need to tweak something about it ...
More sneak peek
I'm currently really pushing through. Also realised, I don't use any in-betweens by now XD (at least for now, but the animation feels fluid enough) AND I also needed to figure out the rest of the character design. I guess for now, I have something I might stick with, but this could change in the end or become more detailed.
AND NOW I FINALLY REALIZED WHY A CERTAIN PART LOOKED WEIRD!!! I copied the pose right as he turns around and forgot to change the legs so suddenly they were swapped.
And now I am realising that this might take some more brain power to fix, than just change that one frame ................
I think, I fixed it ... I guess it was not that visible from the beginning anyway ... just the feeling that was bugging me.
Well, it's still wrong and feels wrong. But this clearly takes more brain capacity than I currently have left. Guess I'll roughly animate the rest and continue hopefully tomorrow.
So, current state for today: (and yes, I still need to fix that stupid frame, or isn't it even noticeable?)
You know, I have lately finished my first playthrough through Undertale Yellow... I cried. And since then, I had this idea for a cool drawing in my head but I got sidetracked.
Here, have a Starlo:
Just be careful that he doesn't shoot you π
Sometimes I think it's insane what I can remember. I wanted to draw a specific screencap I saw some time ago on pinterest (probably about half a year ago) AND I STILL REMEMBERED THE EXACT IMAGE! (I didn't give up searching until I found it again) Glad I finally found it.
(And then I think about the moments I'm standing in the kitchen and don't know anymore what I wanted a minute ago)
Lately, I have been annoyed with how I draw faces, so I figured, I try something new and actually LEARN anatomy instead of drawing what I think it looks like. (I mean, that method worked until now, and if I could travel back in time, I wouldn't change my approach to learning to draw. The most important is having fun, am I right?)
By now, I only figured out two directions (and some in between) but it's interesting to finally understand how the face is supposed to work. Additionally, it helps with shading. I still didn't quite get the area for the eyes but I also have some other perspectives to learn to draw, so I might figure it out as I continue.
Thought I might share this over here and next up will be facing down, left and right. I also still need to find a way to adapt it to my style. But for now, I am pretty proud of these π
I had for maybe around a month or so another blog where I wanted to introduce my idea for an Undertale-AU. Emphasis on had. I deleted it because it was quite a struggle to keep things separated.
That doesn't mean I will stop to work on this idea. It's actually quite the opposite. I am still so inspired and love these characters I created since the beginning of the year. I decided to finally accept my chaotic way of thinking and will now post everything I have worked on so far, so I can still keep a current state and not be stuck between where I chronologically am and the place I have already new ideas of what could happen.
So, I now need to sort out all of this unorganised mess I've created to post it here. I am excited π
(also, I want to draw them more and the current scenes are so much better than the ones in the beginning π€©)
Been doodling. That's my OC Percy. He's a cute one ... also a poor soul. I made him being hunted by a ghost.
Some WIP-concept I came up with for an OC. His name is Decay. He is one of the seven guardians from the "In-Between". His left arm is completely covered in decay causing him to slowly dissolve everything he touches. He is also left-handed.
Might be that I also add something more to his design, but for now, I am pretty glad to finally have something I am kind of pleased with π
current mantra
I tried to animate again and I found a pretty decent way to organize my work folder π (it still kind of ended in chaos but I'm really looking forward to animating even more stuff π I want to become good π€©)
Now a couple of people that got recommended by a friend.
Attack No. 3: Glicero Garas by Glitch_B0i02
and I even started a background but didn't finish it
I just watched the new trailer for pokemon z-a. I think pokemon got me again.
Also something funny I wanted to share: I still think about the days I first played pokemon. I think it must have been diamond or pearl and I picked Piplup as my starter. One day it suddenly evolved, I had no idea what was going on but as it evolved into Prinplup I was sad. I was thinking my cute Piplup just got ugly.
That's so funny thinking back to it.
also, I thought why not draw myself as pokemon trainer. little WIP:
