finally locked down the creature form design in a way i actually enjoy drawing edit: repost because i forgot a drawing in the last one
Do you have any tips for people who want to start animating? Especially for those who have a slight difficulty keeping a consistent drawing style? Please share your wisdom o great one
Honestly, I would say work with what you have access to! If you can afford animation software (or ask for it as a gift? Or pirate it? Depending on how you feel about that, haha) and a tablet, that’s awesome! But you can definitely start learning with, like… a stack of post-it notes as a flipbook, y’know? There’s no one definite way to get started, I think it’s just a matter of diving in and trying it with what’s available to you. (If you’d like to check out my personal blog and just search for ‘animation’ or ‘ask’, or ‘art advice’, I’ve answered quite a few questions over there too!)I also wouldn’t worry too much about your style being consistent. Like… eventually, yeah, if you want to get a job doing it, you’ll want to focus on that. But if we’re just talking about animation in the purest, simplest sense of seeing your drawings come to life and creating the illusion of movement, I wouldn’t worry about it. If you’re just dipping your toes in to see if you enjoy it, I wouldn’t worry about consistency. Consistency is something that’ll just happen the more often you draw… your style will develop and solidify by just… doing it, y’know? I had to learn to simplify and streamline my drawings in order to animate them, basically on-the-fly, and if you watch W2H closely, you can literally tell which shots I animated first and which shots I animated last, because I was figuring it out AS I was working on it. And even so, looking back NOW at what I considered consistent THEN is pretty wild. You’ll always be getting better and progressing, there’s never going to be a point where you’ll feel like, “okay, cool! I’m finally good enough to start animating!”. You just have to jump in and be okay with the fact that you’re just starting out, ‘cause you’re going to grow, and you’re going to get better, and if you’re truly passionate about doing it, that process is something that’ll never stop. It’s good to make imperfect work. That’s how you learn!Hope that helps!
Jack and Maddie find the ghost kid passed out on their kitchen table after a very long and hard night of drinking at the Christmas Truce party.
And here are the Underfell results from the stream! I went ahead and discussed my feelings about the AU, what I liked and disliked about it, and what I would change both design and character wise. I didn’t cover everyone I wanted to (Like Flowey) but I had a lot of fun making my ideal version of this AU’s characters! My main design philosophy for this was “These guys are trying to be evil, but are not really evil.” I think it went really well!
My favorites are Sans and Undyne, but Brad Unferfell Asgore holds a special place in my heart too. Thanks to everyone who made it to the stream!

(Spoilers) What makes me SO glad that I've watched this movie is the fact that now I know matt murdock defended peter parker.
Hot Take: everyone knows that Clark is Superman but everyone is convinced they’re the only one who knows that Clark is Superman so they’re all like “ah geez I have to keep this a secret so no-one finds out” and the only person who genuinely Does Not Know is Lex Luthor
Danny Phantom is a lot like Spider-Man except instead of being bitten by a radioactive spider, the protagonist is bitten by a radioactive hole in the wall
