This was really challenging to paint, but I think it turned out really well. I used a bunch of reference but it was still insanely hard to get the right atmosphere.
I have the Time-lapse up on Patreon, so if you'd like me to continue doing challenging stuff like this, supporting me anyway you can is much appreciated :)
Commissions are also open too.
Hope you enjoy!
I don't know if anyone's made this comparison yet but Gangle and Zooble are Angel Dust x Husk done right. Their heart-to-heart felt a lot sweeter than "Loser, Baby's" ever felt.
Gangle and Angel Dust, while in COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SITUATIONS as I should add, both tend to mask their feelings and have a need to prove themselves to others through their own qualities. Luckily, when they are at their lowest points, they have someone else to help them through it.
However, while both their confiders are similar in terms of personality, their approaches are a lot different, for better and worse. While Husk compares his own gambling situation to Angel's SA and sings a song about how they're both losers for the things that have been done to them, Zooble never crosses that line. Instead, they find a way to comfort her through kind words and things that make her happy, not stooping to shaming Gangle for her sensitivity and hopelessness. Though Zooble's body dysmorphia is a situation that should be sympathized with, they never compare it as the same thing to Gangle's bipolar personality disorder, while mocking her endlessly for it to "make her feel better".
It goes to show that a small casual talk of love can make a minutes-long "romantic spectacle" run for it's money. Like Bojack said, it's not about grand gestures. It's about consistency and the smaller things.
Abstragedy is the emotional masker with roots from their creator and the sailor-mouthed grump with a heart of gold HuskerDust should have been. It's a shame too, knowing that I was looking forward to their relationship in the series.
Beautifully said, Anon. It's not about grand gestures or flashy numbers; it's about saying "I like who you are, and I've got you."
Miyazakiâs visual storytelling thrives on a sense of flatness that doesnât diminish but rather enriches his worlds. By compressing the layers of his compositionsâmerging the foregroundâs details, middle groundâs action, and backgroundâs contextâhe crafts images that feel like living illustrations. Take the Warawara swarming with dishes in "The Boy and the Heron" or the jubilant feast scene in "Spirited Away" : both are packed with vibrant details, yet the visual plane feels collapsed, like a tableau unfolding all at once. This "flatness" isn't a flaw but a deliberate technique, pulling us into the frame as if weâre unrolling a scroll of visual wonder. Itâs not depth that Miyazaki aims forâitâs a sheer density of storytelling in every frame, a reminder that 2D animationâs strength lies in its ability to immerse without imitating.

Video essay by Jellybox about what's good and bad about indie animation!
Wanted to share this in case it's helpful to anyone wanting to pursue making animation independently. It's also for fans of indie animation who may want some insight into how an indie studio works, why indie cartoons are always selling merch, why release schedules are often erratic, etc.
I also wanted to clarify the video's context, because it seems to have been somewhat misconstrued in some circles. Not long ago, WGA and SAG strikes, followed by TAG negotiations were very much in the news, shining light on the struggles the artists, writers, and actors in the Hollywood studio system are facing. In response, the words 'just go indie' have been tossed around quite a bit lately.
Gene and Sean at Jellybox approached us a few months back explaining that they were planning to make a video about the realities of running an indie studio/producing indie animation, largely in response to that 'just go indie' attitude. They were curious if we'd be willing to share our experience, including information about actual costs and the various difficulties and complications we've encountered. We said yes! We'd like for people to know what it's like. As much as it might look appealing next to the currently very broken studio system, indie has its own set of problems, and we think it's a good idea to be transparent about that because talking about problems is how you begin to address them.
Of course, while you get creative freedom and you have no shareholders to appease with indie production, the primary struggle you're always going to face is fundingâŠand funding avenues are limited. Banks aren't eager to hand out business loans to freelance artists making cartoons, for instance. Social media algorithms reward frequent updates you can't swing with hand-drawn animated content, so you can't rely much on things like AdSense. You can't really insert sponsored ads into your animated videos without being too obtrusive. You can take on client work, but that interferes with your ability to focus on own animated project. Crowdfunds can be great for seed money, but they're also a ton of work to fulfill, and fulfillment itself will tend to eat up a considerable amount of the funds you've raised. Once your animation is produced, there is no well established way to sell the animated episode itself like there is for, say indie games sold on Steam. So, while we consider ways to try to make the terrain a bit more hospitable to indie creations, if nothing else, let this explain why productions rely a lot on merch drops!
-----------------
And hey, if you're an animation fan, consider supporting the independent productions you enjoy, whether you're tossing a few dollars their way, buying their merch, or just mentioning them to friends:
The Far-Fetched team is launching a crowdfund very soon to help them complete their pilot!
The Monkey Wrench team is killing it lately, and they deserve so much more fanfare than they've gotten!
And of course, thank you to the excellent folks at Jellybox for starting an important conversation!
itâs just one of those croissant days
Immerse yourself in a symphony of colors as summerâs wildflower meadows dance in the gentle breeze. Each petal a stroke of natureâs brush, painting a vibrant masterpiece that whispers of fleeting beauty. Serenity envelops the air as bees hum a soft melody, natureâs harmony unfolding before our mesmerized eyes. Let your soul wander among these wild wonders, basking in the magic of summerâs vibrant blooms. đžđżđŒ

Some Human Abstragedy for the soul. They're just so so adorable đ
in almost every other children's book where the main heroine is swept away to a land of whimsy she's shown having a lovely time; braving dangers occasionally, trying to find her way home, sure, but ultimately delighting in the magic around her. meanwhile alice spends her entire time in wonderland like
she's actually so gorgeous
Fecto Elfilis is the only video game "Ultimate Lifeform" of the trio that doesn't have a little girl bestie they lost tragically. (that we know of)
But the whole experimentation, imprisonment for years, and loss of identity is pretty on par with the other two! It's like Hal saw Mewtwo and Shadow and decided... "Yeah, we can do that! Let's make our own!"
Itâs also funny that with Fecto Elfilis the little guy is the âMewtwoâ lol
spudsy's episode but different ending hehehe
This was gonna be my day 4 then changed to day 6 for abstragedy week. Actually the idea came up before the week had started and when it was announced it was the perfect time for me to start. While I ended up running out of time I did not want to give up on this, I COULDN'T
Shadow the Hedgehog and Mewtwo trauma bonding not only over the dark entities that took over their body but also their dead friends

If you're struggling with jokes that can appeal to all ages, May I suggest looking at "Phineas and Ferb"? I read a comment somewhere that their "Adult jokes" aren't really inappropriate or innuendos. Just something kids would't understand was as well as adults would.
Example: https://youtu.be/eYMdw4z1me8?si=ZDVC22NRHteuHuh9
okay... Yall know my content is pretty adult...
I've been seeing MLP content lately and I was like. " man I missed that era of cartoons where adult characters are made to be kid friendly."
so. I gave myself a challenge.
day one of trying to make a 100% kids friendly pg story that kids can watch and enjoy WITH OUT ANY ADULT HUMOR OR ANYTHING.
HERE WE GO.

Old Politoed Wisdom
You all thought my best oc was Melony or Dardanne ??? WRONG !!! IT'S POLITOED !!!
Politoed (yes, the politoed is named Politoed) is basically Dardanne's dad
Politoed was originally Dardanne's father's ace pokémon.
When Dardanne ran away from home as a teenager and was enrolled in Plasma, Politoed followed him to make sure he was safe and to keep an eye on him. Dardanne became his trainer because Politoed refused to leave him alone.
Dardanne is later selected to accompany N on his journey throught out Unova to gather the badges and defy the league. Dardanne keeps old Politoed out of his pokéball most of the day, following N's ideals fervently. Politoed might look chill and laid-back, but his tongue is sharp and N is unfortunately the only one who can understand it.
Politoed is also very aware of what's going on in Team Plasma, having already quite a lot of prior experiences with abusive trainers (Dardanne's father is an ex-gym leader for a reason after all). As Politoed is unable to drive Dardanne away from what is essentially a cult, he decides to stick by him and do his best to protect him whenever he can.
tl,dr : Politoed ditched his original trainer (Dardanne's dad) and decided Dardanne was his kid now
