Sanrio Style Date With Kaz 🙂‍↕️

hellooo

Sure, I’ll come along for the ride.

This is very important and it must be known that these 19th C. farting competition scrolls exist.

Japanese art scroll, HE-GASSEN (Farting Competitions). Edo period (1603-1868).

“I wanna ask you…”

Heres my 8 page love letter to the otasune dialogue ever that made me crazy over this series, please enjoy!

Bahahahaha!!! I was having the crappiest day until I saw this. Thank you so much for this!

Animation for fultoning prisoners for our MGS fangame Peace Day - this one looks suspiciously like Chico.  That boy’s always getting into trouble. 

Reblogging the devblog from my non-MGS life!

Running water turned out to be tricky to animate!  We needed a suitable background for the waterfall level in our game, but it needed to be a small enough number of frames, be looping, and also not be too distracting from the action in the foreground. 

I’ve spent a lot of time drawing things OTHER than water most of my life, but luckily we have a lot of streams and rivers near our home, so I went out to do some sketching and observe the flow.

Some time recently I got an iPad with a pencil, so that allowed me to work with color and maybe get some of the subtle changes.  But I’m not a painter by trade, so these clumsy attempts are more about observing and trying to intuit what color should feel like when you see it onscreen.

At first I thought this rushing river would be really cool!  But I had the scale all wrong.  There’s so much motion happening, and at the scale of the gameplay the animation looks choppy.  It would distract from the motion of the action in the foreground, and would make the whole scene look way too messy.  Back to the drawing board!  

I’ve settled on this calmer scene, which isn’t the rushing river I really wanted, but it won’t compete with the foreground sprites for attention.  The animation is much smoother too, except for the waterfalls which still may need work.  Making animations for Unstable Scientific has been one of the most challenging experiences I’ve had as an artist so far, but I feel like I’m learning so much in the process!
