I’ve all but abandoned this Tumblr blog, but I’ve recently seen some particularly uninformed claims resurging about my close and personal friend, Ken. Mind you, we’ve known each other for about 9 years now, so I think I get a say in who they are as a person. For anyone having doubts over who or what to believe, I strongly encourage you to read this rebuttal with actual evidence behind it. Thank you.

Serious and libelous claims have been spread about my character as of recent and I completely understand why anyone following me, or concerned about the matter would want clarification as to what is going on and who you are supporting. 

I hope this rebuttal will provide closure and clarity to those who have been hurt by my past actions, and I want to take responsibility bringing understanding to the situation. I have changed significantly, and while I have made mistakes, the majority of the allegations against me are false.

 I was going to ignore this situation entirely, however, friends have been harassed simply for associating me, and that I cannot abide.

Advance warning that this is a very image heavy post, covers sensitive material, and possible triggers. Please be advised before proceeding.

Hi there! I was browsing tumblr and I found your lovely piece on Alolan Sandslash, I want to use one in-game and was wondering what moveset yours used?

Hey, that’sawesome! I should preface by saying my team choices are usually basedon aesthetics, so I can’t vouch for Alolan Sandslash necessarilybeing a great asset, nor would my moveset be the most effective(there is a fatal flaw in it) so take this all with a grain of salt!

Sickle’s moveswere hail, blizzard, shadow claw, and iron head. The hail andblizzard combo is terrible for Sandslash and I don’t recommend it.Being a special move combo, and Sandslash being a physical attacker,I really goofed up on this one. Regardless, I hope you have fun usingSandslash!

Are you open to paid freelance animating for anyone for personal projects?

I am!

[hoopdiddydoodles]

Here are some close-ups of my shot layout for the Dover Boys Reanimated project. I'm very happy with how it came out!

[hoopdiddydoodles]

Wow! I’m so honored to be featured in this gifset! (my Twitter handle is @/TheDandyRay) What a great project to be a part of. Please go and watch the full video through the link, we all worked so hard on it!

Kidnappers be damned, the boys are in town. 90+ Animators came together to re animate the 1942 Classic ‘The Dover Boys’ Warner Bros short in this amazing collab!

I was very pleased with the "reignited" revamp of Elora, so I did a little drawing of two old friends catching up. Very excited for the release of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy! Who's with me?

Woops, I didn't realize Faye could be cute... I went and bought her a nice, new outfit, what do you guys think? (felt like designing her some "everyday wear". #HoopDiddyDoodles #Rayfolk #Mod #artistsofinstagram

A handful of character scribbles! #HoopDiddyDoodles #Rayfolk #Sketches #artistsofinstagram

[hoopdiddydoodles]

I started a sketchbook for extremely loose character scribbles to unwind and take the pressure off of my normal sketching process. Most of them are character building and interaction sketches. Here's a few favorites of some misc characters if mine! #HoopDiddyDoodles #Rayfolk #sketches #artistsofinstagram

[hoopdiddydoodles]

Creator meets creation. Creator suffered serious secondhand embarrassment. (for the record, that is a kazoo in the top picture)

Another specific note to her character is her love of radios and electronics. She has a lot of personal attachment and sentimentality to them that enters the realm of fictional, though she’d never make anyone else privy to this. She’s also a very skilled vocalist and sings a lot in her free time, but usually without an audience.

There’s also some sad girls in here. Why? Because everyone loves exploring the sad side to their characters... I’m merely human.

Bee sent me a very thoughtful gift this past Christmas, and I really wanted to send a couple sketches her way in return! Pictured here is her rabble-rouser, Mia, and her blacklight-nosed reindeer! I know they’re simple sketches, but I hope you enjoyed them anyway!

Here’s another “new” character I’ve been working a lot with lately. Her name is Tessa Host, the outspoken and anxious ringmaster. She’s dainty and timid, but absolutely cannot hold back any of the thoughts on her mind, especially when nervous. In moments of peril, she tends to throw herself in the way of danger if it means for an immediate solution and generally submits to aggressive parties just to diffuse tension. She doesn’t allow herself to openly enjoy a lot of her interests out of fear of judgement, but she has an affinity for ridiculous, goofy chicanery. Good thing she works at a circus!

I also drew her as a puppet. I love puppets.

Last Christmas I drew a good friend of mine a Gogoat! She loves Pokemon, wildlife, and especially bovines!

I too love Gogoat. It’s a really good design for a good Pokemon! Enjoy~
