🌸 (3/19/23) (Initial Tweet Announcing Hiatus) https://twitter.com/8_8itArtistries/status/1637622747315720193?s=20 If you haven’t already, I recommend reading the above posts. Below I will be going into further detail regarding my further business plans and haitus. TWs may be applicable for the post below, as I will be discussing some sensitive subjects. Specific tags will be in the tags.

As far as 8-8itArtistries go, I will be holding off on reopening commissions until I finish a large portion of the ones I already have. Work will NOT be resumed until I have moved into my own apartment and returned from the psychiatric hospital, this means that your commission will take an undefinable amount of time to complete. You are able to request cancellations at this point, but I unfortunately will be unable to issue any refunds. As it stands, my fursuit commissions have cost me more money than I was paid for them, and while i still intend on delivering the lot of them, this will take a long time with my current financial situation. Again, no commissions (Not even illustrations) will be able to be worked on while I am in hospital/recovery. If you have questions or concerns please send them my way. As far as my hiatus goes, I will be leaving for hospital any day now, most likely after the 20th.. I will be potentially cut off from all forms of technology for 5 weeks to several months, depending on the state of care that I need. Since I have been in the emergency room about four times since the beginning of the year, for self-harm and anorexia, me and my care team have decided that inpatient treatment is currently the best option for me.  I will either be staying in a generalized longer term psychiatric hospital or transferred to a specialty clinic for my now severe eating disorder. The first hospital doesn't allow technology, and I’m unsure about the second. No one will be monitoring my accounts while I’m gone, I’m hopeful you understand the necessity of this hiatus.  I’ve been in awful condition mentally for as long as i can remember, but since september its become out of my control. We are lucky that I manage to remain alive after everything, and I’d like to keep that up, however I can’t do that without intensive professional help. My anorexia has proceeded to the point where I am unable to digest most solid foods, and i’ve most likely got anorexia gastroparesis, which means I most likely will be tube fed for the indefinite future. My suicidality and self-harm issues have become chronic and all of these combined are incredibly dangerous for my mortality.  I will be informing when I am entering hospital and when I am leaving, again my accounts will not be monitored while I am gone.  Thank you for understanding.

and my final attack for artfight: eclipse for @8-8it!!!!!!!! just realising now i didnt post these artfights in order even a little bit. ah well lol

[sanguinull]

An unfortun8 and rather foolish incident had caused you to deactivate your previous account 8ut now you've arisen and are going to reacqu8nt yourself with your frens! They might have a 8it of curiosity as to why you decided to make your new account in such a way, 8ut they know you can be rather silly, ESPECIALLY when it comes to a certain sleepy night.

You dabble in many things and your account re8logs will surely express so, though a little exposition wouldn't hurt. Various types of GAMING: VIDEO, TRADING CARDS, TABLETOP as well as many types of VISUAL MEDIA that span multiple countries, you're often inclined to blare your ears full of MUSIC, and truthfully you have a yearning to TRAVEL but are restrained by many factors.

Oh, you've a bit of a typing quirk? Where "8's are really gr8 and one would notice a similarity to a character in a certain comic medium, but you don't it as often, interesting". There might 8e some tags that also show this quirk, it really depends!!!!!!!!

What will you blog about? Many things really, as you are so prone to doing on other social media.

[poorlydrawnvriska]

Hehe furry vriska

AG: always has 8een

AG: my fursona is a wolf spider, except instead of the actual type of spider it's a wolf/spider hy8rid

AG: she's cool and 8adass just like me except she has 3 pairs of arms (com8ine those pairs with 1 pair of legs and you have 8 lim8s!) and that actually makes her a 8it cooler (one arm is still mechanical though, I like my mechanical arm!)

AG: also she has two fanged chelicerae on her jaw and is venomous (both the chelicera and her canines can have venom come out of them)

AG: I'll draw up a ref later/when I figure out how to draw 3 pairs of arms........

[S] Terezi: Remem8er.

Song used: Do You Remem8er Me by Malcolm Brown

song commentary:

Malcolm Brown:

(original commentary)

Alas poor Vriska. This scene stood out quite a bit from the Scrapbook Near-end-of-act Scratch-a-thon as being yet more humility to Vriska as a character - first hinted at during John's talk with her around the whole 'lifdoff' time (which is also why most of the song is taken from lifdoff.)

The idea was to create something vaguely romantic and a bit tragic for the whole 'd8' thing. I used lifdoff as a starting point because that's become my sort of unofficial 'John' theme - It's quite light and goofy but reasonably heroic and fantastical. Showtime shows up at around 2:17, shortly followed by a slightly modified lift from Death of the Lusii (as mentioned previously in this topic). After that it slides into an additionally modified version of Ruins/Awakening for reasons that are hopefully obvious and also because I like that tune

The main reason I made this is because Vriska's had a but few moments when she wasn't terrorizing everybody and generally acting the huge bitch. Add to this the whole 'fat vriska' thing, and the very bombastic music she's had thus far… It was nice to give her last bit of humility a soundtrack.

And the reason Vriska's actual theme doesn't show up anywhere is because I find it difficult to work with as it's kinda crazy /excuse.

It took me about half a day to get the tambourines sounding decent and they still don't sound like what I imagined they would…

Also I was trying to channel some of the style from the music of the Little Big Adventure games. The soundtrack for thems' awesome and ya'll should go listen to it!

(tumblr version)

“DYRM” was essentially cre8ed as a sort of 8acking track to the John and Vriska ‘date’ sequence (around about here). The idea was to do a sort of schlocky romantic 8allad that combined elements of Johns goofiness but with the tragedy that hey - Vriska’s dead. Over the course of it, we travel through John and Vriska’s memories, and she’s trying to get him to remem8er something important, so there’s that element too. It’s kinda sad, 8ut in a way it’s also a 8it of a cele8ration of Vriska - She’s surprisingly polarizing with a lot of the fan8ase, as the 8est characters often are… :p

THE NAME

I can’t immedi8ly recall if the phrase “Do You Remem8er Me?” is said by Vriska…….. I think it was, 8ut it’s a faff trying to navigate around that 8it of the comic (I often like na88ing song titles out of the dialogue itself - That’s where At The Price Of O8livion came from and of course Sea Hitler’s Water Apocalypse. If not, well it felt like as good a title as any. :p The ‘8’ helps immediately recognise the subject matter.

THE TRACK

It’s primarily “lifdoff”, which I started using a sort of personal theme of John. Other slight inspirations for this track are “Anthem Part 2” from The Truman Show and a little 8it of the music of Little 8ig Adventure (primarily the use of woodwinds/percussion).

It starts off with a simple lightened lifdoff, which carries it for a while. The percussion at 1:09 was fun to sequence - It’s mostly just a collection of taiko samples from the EWQL play library that are quite fun to work with, particularly some the articulation (The ‘roll’ you hear is one of ‘em). What I think works quite well is the power of the Taikos with the lightness of the woodwinds - Gives it quite an emotional punch.

1:33 is almost directly L8A inspired (The layering of the woodwind melody on 8rass I’m sure I got from there). At this point we’re 8uilding up to play the ‘Death of the Lusii/Awakening’ 8it with a sort of alternate chord progression, but we sneak in a Showtime reference around 2:16.

2:26 is meant to directly correlated to These Two panels and is a reference to this track.

Then it 8uilds up to the main section of Awakening at around 3:30. Given that the main theme is a sort of dreamlike afterlife, it felt appropri8 ::::p

And we end! Uncertain cadences all round!

Overall there’s quite a 8it I like about this one. The Percussion doesn’t vary much, which lets it down I think (It’s 8asically just the same loop for most of the song, something I’m hilariously guilty of in most everything I make :p) but it did the jo8 in giving Vriska a good sendoff.

Oh yeah - The reason it doesn’t use any of Vriska’s theme is because I find that theme a 8it…….. All over the place ::::p Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool 8it of music, 8ut I don’t find it as easy to play a8out with than other tracks. 8lame my laziness!

I also fully suspect I missed some ‘8’s somewhere…….. This stuff’s harder than it looks. God help me if I try to commentary another gorram Terezi track ::::p

Natural pink sheep #8, give it up for natural pink sheep #8

It will live in this boat for the foreseeable future because I do not feel like dragging it that far back to my actual base (which is at spawn) but since I had a boat on me I figured I might as well use it lol
