ever since I saw this post I wasn't able to get it out of my mind, so I present you with my experiment on this, specifically on the colours bleeding into each other, albeit not in the animation form also please keep in mind that I chose these two pretty much only for their colour potential
If the life series was animated I think a cool detail would be animating the green lives with smooth, clean lines. Yellow lives are slightly sketchy, their line distortion being more notable during fights or chaotic intentions. Then red lives are animated very loosely and messy, their lines are never “still”, there’s always a visual tension with them because they look one second away from falling apart
And when reds fight, their colors bleed into each other as well. They become a messy portrait of themselves. Still recognizable, to some degree, but no longer the put together image they once were. Literally
not feeling great, so have a wild life Gem doodle
the BAMs got their designs, so others will too
also as for the animatic stuff, I moved the deadline to "we'll see how long it takes" cuz it turns out I made a grave error in my calculations, so the previous schedule was literally impossible to pull off
Hermittober Day 8: Mist
some thoughts under the cut vvvvvvv
Hermittober prompt list made by @collierose1
ooh boy did I cut it a bit close with this one. I always post hermittober pieces every day at the same time and this one took me so long to figure out that I'm currently scheduling this post with only less than an hour to spare
anyway, I like how this one turned out, especially since I couldn't find any references, so I had to use my imagination a bit. that said tho, I did use a reference for the skull and I'm glad I did. should probably do that more
a new creature has appeared!!!!
still minecraft tho :P
version without ink dripping under the cut vvvvvvv
but first, my thoughts on Rat's video:
*clears throat* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
anyway, about the actual piece
tbh I don't know much of her lore due to the fact that I've mostly watched csmp through Rat's videos, so I didn't know what creature to make her (most I've got is like, the wet cat allegations and moth association due to the moth lantern thingy from the end of aforementioned video)
so I decided to go off of what inklings remind me of, which is the warden. and the warden for me is associated with axolotls
so here you go! I've actually been working on another piece ever since I saw Rat's video (which I might as well call the real minecraft movie at this point lol), which was like a day after it got released. but it's been giving me so much trouble I think I might restart it again
I'm losing my mind over here
okay, so I needed some references for something and went to namemc to look at Gem's skin
"Oh cool, she's matching hoodies with Pearl and Scott" I thought and almost went on my marry way
but then I decided to also check out Martyn's skin since I also kinda need references for him
"Huh" I thought, "maybe he switched to it during session 7? I haven't watched his POV so I've got no idea"
but then I looked at the time and date he used it
it was for the recording of session 8
fuelled by my curiosity I went on checking on other people, first of which was Pearl
my brain started coming up with angst scenarios (Pearl and Impulse are my winners POV pick lol)
but then I noticed that like 2 minutes later (if I saw it right) she was back to her red skin???
and she wasn't the only one, from which I remember people like Scott and Scar also went from gray to red
which brings me to my question
what in the hell is gonna be this session
what if we had matching eyes that were "given" to us by the same person who has sacrificed himself for us multiple times in the past and we were cosplaying divorce

There's an account (fairly certain a bot with how quick they're posting) stealing other people posts and spamming them in the goodtimeswithscar and wild life smp tag.
From their user and profile its clear that they are not part of this community, and there's a glaring link underneath the stolen post. I checked their profile, and they're staging as a news blog with a dodgy link in their bio. Please do not click it!! First rule of the internet, but please report them, especially since they're stealing posts and claiming them as their own.
a rare ZombieCleo appearance
me: the art fight is 2 weeks away, can we please start working on it- my brain: grian autism creature me: what-
I just finished watching Pearl's session 2 POV and I just realized something
Pearl kind of takes after Scott in a way
I'm specifically talking about Scott's ally blessing. at the end of her video she was talking to Impulse and was explaining how this time she wants him to win. and it's not even the first time she's helped someone else win, she offered her life to Scar back in Secret Life. and people (including me) say that it was Scott's blessing that helped Scar, but what if Pearl had to do with it also?
I've had a theory for a while that every Life Series curse and blessing has 2 aspects to it. the canary curse means the bearer dies first AND right before many other deaths follow. the ally blessing means the recipient wins AND dies. so what if the blessing is now split between 2 players? after all, in Secret Life Scott was Gem's ally first and foremost, only being allied with Scar for a very short time. he wasn't even on the same side as Scar in the zombie apocalypse. but Pearl was. Pearl went into finale by his side. so according to this theory Scott's part (ensuring the ally dies) worked on Gem and Pearl's part (ensuring the ally wins) worked on Scar
Scott died for his soulmate, so his part is the death. Pearl saw her soulmate die for her, so her part is protection until the win
so yeah, Impulse was one of my picks for the win even before session 1 videos were released, but now he's pretty much my top 1 pick
