AnonymousOf course i have! NGNL is pretty much my favourite anime and has been a year or so. That followed by Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, though the filler arcs are… annoying.
I was wondering why nobody seemed to be seeing my more recent posts and had sort of lost motivation due to it.
Turns out my hosting had been stopped and I forgot to change my domains back to Tumblr local…. so nobody could actually SEE my Tumblr.
Set them back now and hopefully that’ll fix the problem when the links get updated.
Don’t worry, I’m not done with MLP yet…. yet.
Fact is I am on the ropes for the fandom after i lost my last link to it. I am not really involved in anything pony these days and I am beginning to wonder what I want to do with my art beyond pony… and into animation.
I do however have quite a backlog of pony commissions and a few projects I still want to do after them, so while my motivation is flagging, I will be producing pony for quite a while still, as long as I am producing at all.
Expect more non-pony, but the pony will still be here if you’;re patient!
Dump of figure doodles I’ve been doing recently. last is more like a redline but eh. You’’ll see some of these pose sketches become other things soon.
So recently I was struggling to enjoy drawing ponies. I realised that the reason was because i had forgotten what I really liked about drawing them… or really anything.
I had been trying to draw what I thought people wanted (cute or cool) that I lost sight of what I really liked and what drove me to draw so much Fallout Equestria art in the first place - the contrast between the cute and colourful ponies and the dark, brutal life they lead in the story.
I realised what i was missing when I ran across MisuKitty’s work.I remembered my love for ‘creepy cute’, alternative types of gore, crazy looking characters and the like. I want to draw more of that!
TL;DR: Expect a higher percentage of weird, creepy or dark work for the foreseeable future.
which, if you haven’t seen it, uses neural networking to make cats out of line art by referencing a library of cat stock images.
I decided to make other stuff from cats instead… to varying degrees of success. I am really impressed with how the squirrel and monkey came out, that gave me quite the surprise.
I want to learn for the sake of getting work in animation, which is dominated by 3D in my area. I’m not averse to putting some money down for a stellar learning resource but I have got to have some real faith in it for that.
Preferably I want something with basic projects to work through rather than just talking heads type thing.
Because commission queues are suffocating me and I want to try something else; it’s timed as per large, non-commissioned piece.
There’s a better explanation as to my reasoning and what i intend to use it for on the page, but the short version is that I feel like I produce very little of my ‘own’ work, or that when I do it’s half-assed due to needing to get onto commissions.
Have a thing i wanna animate and made this as a basis for the motion. I spent the whole day setting up After Effects on my PC again so not even started animating ye… so posting it here to make the time a little more worthwhile.
I in do not actually know any swordplay, in case that’s not obvious.
Stuff to know:
+bags, mugs, pencil cases, notebooks, laptop and phone cases, tablet cases, etc
Whichever gets most votes by the time I come to work on it will come to be.
