[acesandocs]

I take it serious, you better know Ball buster, make 'em pony up the dough Lives on the line, I'm puttin' on a show They hate me cuz I got an ego!

Guys, new evil tumblr sexyman version of Ace just dropped. This was mostly a result of some discord chat discussions.

As a villain she's probably the owner of a speakeasy/fightclup situation. people come there to bet on matches and drink, that sort of thing. Also please exuse the shitty pistols i drew.

Ace in his mid 40s

The trope I appreciate very much

Some sleepy doodles ft Ivy and Rocky, they're mostly meant to be platonic though you're free to interpret it however you like.

Ace has a lot of anxiety about sleeping because of the sleep paralysis but also from being homeless for a year and having to sleep with one eye open so she wont get robbed in the night or worse.

She has a few ways of dealing with this some more healthy than others but one thing that always helps is sleeping next to someone. Though if this happens its usually accidental.

It makes her feel safe and reminds her of being a kid and sleeping next to his mom. So there have been a few times where he has fallen asleep next to Ivy or Rocky and had the best sleep he's had in ages.

you heard him

[acesandocs]

I have been feeling pretty burnt out on art lately so I’m taking some time away from drawing for a bit. Please take this old doodle of ace in some outfits as compensation. (you might already recognize one of them. For those who have asked me questions i have some wip stuff cooking. Don’t worry i haven't forgotten you.

[acesandocs]

shit Ace would say when he wants attention.

[acesandocs]

So how about the Rocky dies theory?

The voices took over again and i cranked this out in 2 days. its a bit more polished that some of my other animatics but still very simple. I was very inspired by this this.

me at 3 am two days ago: imma make something so self indulgent

i know the line delivery in the original scene is probably not very in character for Rocky. Esmeralda is a lot more quiet and gentle than i think Rocky would be. But i do see him doing something similarly sweet to cheer up a friend. I imagine the follows a conversation about their similar childhood trauma. You can read this interaction however you want.🤷

I wasn't sure i wanted to post this but here we go.

[acesandocs]

I dont think Ace is sadistic but i do think she likes the feeling of power she gets from beating the snot ouatta people. Juuuust a lil bit. It probably stems from his childhood, hurt people hurt people y'know.

[acesandocs]

shit Ace, Marius and Jack would do

[acesandocs]

Making good on my promice to draw teen Ace's nightcore obsession. Hed hold his phone like a mic and pretend she was preforming on stage or something.

[acesandocs]

Would Åse act in a specific way if she would see someone smaller that is following her?

Considering the line of work Ace is in, anyone mysterious following her would have him on edge. If it was just a small or short person he’d try to loose them/outrun them. If it was like a child he’d tentatively ask where their folks are.

[acesandocs]

Put together a comprehensive design ref for Ace as well as making a few changes.

[acesandocs]

she got that beast in her

A little bit of a conceptual update to this picture. When i first drew it i hadn't nailed down specifically when this event happened. This design is more in line with what hes supposed to look like in Likeness.

This is a very rough doodle but i like the energy so im posting it.

[acesandocs]

Guess who's birtday it is today?

Ace would have been 119 by 2024 and only two years away from surpassing god. Though unlikely, in my heart he is trucking along today continuously baffling Christendom by continuing to live.

I’m not very experienced with animation and i have a tendency to brute force my way through a problem instead of looking up a tutorial lol, but I’m pretty happy with this. The secondary motion in the ears and neckerchief are a bit janky but the tail sway I’m pretty proud of. As well as the anticipation before the yank on the calender.

I also simplified his design a little bit. As much as i love it, the fur pattern can be difficult to track so i left out the spots on his arms and tail. The face stayed the same though as its what most important.

And of course tumblr crunched the quality to hell so heres a little boogie gif with better quality
