Attempted animation again, idk how I feel, so take my dnd baby, I’m pretty certain he’s dead next session so-

[fablestudios]

It's actually done TvT

I was expecting to be up until 3 am working on this but it's only midnight! No idea when this is going to actually come out but that's 1/4th of my buffer done.

Might be finishing the first chapter tonight 👀

Why were my old OCs so pointlessly traumatized??? Like one of my old guys, in his old story, this man was 19 and lost his parents, his job, his boyfriend, and his right eye within the span of like 6 months, what did I do to this child???

I mean it’s not any better now but like.…we don’t talk about that

If anyone (except the friend I just told this to) knows who I’m talking about, you’re actually stalking me and I am filing a restraining order /j

Back to the 7k project grind while I hide from my transphobic(?) parents-

Take a Varian because this frame is cute-

[fablestudios]

They’re ✨GAY ✨ your honor

I love them so much, y’all have no idea-

Also this is destined to be a little funky anatomy wise, it’s 2 am and I’m NOT waiting until tomorrow to fix it, but ehhhh, who cares

This is my reminder to myself to actually TALK about my characters here, even if no one cares

[fablestudios]

I won’t make the claim that if you like V&t7k Hugo, you’ll like my Elijah, but they are incredibly similar and it scares me.

It’s down to their FREAKING SILLHOUETTE AT THIS POINT AND I’M SCARED

It’s at the point where I will turn on whatever switch I use when drawing Elijah to draw Hugo and vice versa

At the same time, I think they would constantly be on each others nerves and that dynamic is probably gonna entertain me for a good long while

[fablestudios]

I was just reminded how much I love Hector (Tangled) as a character. Like the potential??? The ideas??? Something has reawakened the pure tangled fan is me, oh god I am about to be so insufferable.

Any of my friends who lived through my tangled phase in 6th grade, y’all are saints. I don’t think I would’ve survived me in 6th grade.

Like, both Hector and Adira are TECHNICALLY Varian’s relatives. I LIVE FOR THE UNCLE HECTOR VIBES. THEY LITERALLY SUSTAIN ME. YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME HE WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN THE COOLEST UNCLE EVER.

Blood of my Brother is an amazing fic for these vibes by the way. I absolutely adore that fic and it was a major inspiration for me a godo few years back.

I’m done for now but apsodifnaspifvbqewpocimasdiovncweopafjadpofjsadif *explodes again*

NEVERMIND I’M NOT DONE. You just KNOW Hector would’ve gone absolutely ballistic if he found out what happened to Varian during s2 of TTS. You know he would’ve gone absolutely crazy knowing they inprisoned a kid. YOU. JUST. KNOW. Okay I’m done now

A little guyy :3 (rest of team radical to come)

Doing lineart hurts my soul, dunno if I’m gonna do it again

[fablestudios]

Attack for my friend TopazQueen22 on artfight, aaaa I think this one almost killed me TvT

Slightly mourning the fact I didn't get all the points for this but it's fineeeeeeeee

[fablestudios]

Do you wanna know how much of a die hard Tangled fan, and by extension how much of a die hard Varian fan I am/was??? My artstyle, up to about last month, was entirely centered around Varian from Tangled: The Series. What do I mean by that you ask?

I literally learned to draw from Tangled. Quite literally my only inspiration was this show, and this one character, and you’ll see how deep this gets

Firstly, the anatomy. I have a bad habit of defaulting to that baby-face with large eyes type of face if I don’t think about it enough, which I got because I taught myself to draw with this one character and this one point of reference.

Secondly, I cannot think in lines. It’s impossible. Tangled: The Series, as you know if you’ve seen literally any of it, has a line-less artstyle. And again, I learned to draw from this one series and this one series alone, so now I literally only think in shapes and it’s a blessing and a curse

This goes without saying but my style is inherently Disney-adjacent. You can see what I mean if you just look at my profile. I don’t know how this happened but it just radiates Disney energy and I don’t know how to feel.

Oh, another result of learning off of Varian’s anatomy alone is that a lot of my characters have dummy thick hair. I can’t even explain this one, they just do.

And my noses. I still haven’t figured out how to fix this one without it looking weird in my head but I can only really draw a slightly upturned nose and I have no idea what to do about that.

The only positive of this is that I really like and am really good at drawing expressions. Varian is by far one of the most expressive characters, his face is just really dynamic when animated, all of the characters from Tangled: The Series are honestly, and I’d say that’s the one thing I’m super grateful for.

I’ve moved further away from these over time, and it’s definitely not my only reference now. I have a couple things I really latched onto and took inspo from and have definitely broken through some of these habits, but holy shit the marks run DEEP

My many blorbos are fighting for dominance over my creativity and none of them are winning, I’ve been stuck sitting here for about 3 hours so time to scream

Rambles below the cut

I really reallyyyyy wanna draw team radical (character portrait style) because I realize I haven’t done so in quite a while (all of the project work has been drawing Varian over and over, which, don’t get me wrong, I love, he’s so fun to draw, but AAAAAA) OH I ALSO WANNA MAKE STICKERS OF THEM BECAUSE MY TMA JON STICKER IS STARTING TO PEEL OFF AND I REALLY LIKE MAKING STICKERS

But I also acknowledge that I need to work on editing the scripts if I expect this shit to come out when I want it to, and that involves outlining my actual plan for character development, which I thought i had down but then the worms got in and burrowed their little holes in my brain and now I need to go back and overanalyze everything because holy shit I love character development

But I also just wanna write about my little guys because oh my gosh they are such little messes and I love them so much and I just wanna scream about them. At the moment I’m back on my fixation around Taylor and Elijah, mostly because I’ve gotten some of my friends to enjoy them as a ship and I owe them a fluff story after the devastating thing I sent to them a couple days ago (I’m still recovering)

If anyone else is just scatterbrained about their braiwnroms, you know the pain. I’ve also assigned myself the ENORMOUS TASK of compiling all of my worldbuilding and character nonsense into one place, and I edit and rework shit as I go so you can imagine how that’s going

I also told myself I’d participate more in artfight past just attacking my friends, and have a like three half finished attacks sitting in my procreate files

Oh and I have the actual v&t7k project, duh, which I’ve been chipping at slowly. I have about 2/3s of the first chapter done, but had to redo everything like a week ago because davinci resolve is stupid

On top of that, I have an actual life apparently. Being trans is a pain and I hate and love performing music. And of course the world is on fire but ehhhh, I don’t even know if I can bring myself to care at this point

Hope y’all like that little dive into my daily creative doings if you read this far, and I really hope Hello Jon, apologies for the deception but I- *gets run over by my friend that hijacked a car*
