AAAHH! I MADE AN ANIMATION!!! 💙🩷

So three things happened:

1. I asked y'all for outfit ideas for the best girls, Harumi and Lisa!

2. @gwenthefirecracker had this amazing idea:

3. Ibispaint, my beloved, now has a brand new animation feat!

Put these all together and bing bang boom!

You have Scorpion!Harumi being all flushed because her girlfriend is rocking on a new outfit and absolutely destroying their enemies!❄️

Now Fun Fact: Tumblr's dumbass can't read Ibispaint's animation file so I had to make this gif and not only it speeded up the whole thing but also TOTALLY RUINED THE QUALITY!🤡

So as a compensation, please, have the frame by frame set :D

Click for better quality

Final Notes:

Absolutely loved making this outfit for Lisa! It made her look so intimidating and that's exactly the vibe I want for her!

And no, Lisa doesn't believe in pants, pants are for special occasions only! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plus: The suit also hints Lisa's Animality👀

On other notes: I CAN DO ANIMATIONS!!! I'M ✨️UNSTOPPABLE✨️ NOW!!!! >:D

@mikka-minns, MA GIRL!! HERE ARE THE GIRLFRIENDS!👀💙🩷

August 2024 Wrap Up

And just like that summer is over. It went by in the blink of an eye. It was a good, if uneventful, month. I had my birthday, which always means new books! And that's enough to make me happy haha.

(Also please click the photo for better quality. Why must tumblr make them look bad?)

Books Read: 9

And it was a pretty great reading month! My favorite was Red Comet, which is current my top read of the year. And I don't think anything better is going to come along, but you never know. My least favorite was A Lesson in Vengeance, which I found disappointing. I was interested in what was happening, but there were a lot of small details that just ruined any believability for me. I also read my first book in French! I'm really proud of myself.

The Dry by Jane Harper - 3.5 stars

The Moors and the Fens by Charlotte Riddell - 3 stars

A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee - 2.5 stars

Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes - 4 stars

Scratchcraft fanart again!!! (Much higher quality on Scratch.)

-

A LOT more notes under the cut!

Scratch link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/891267487/

Youtube notes:

(PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION.) Here is my "artistic" version of pressing space through my fanart dump. Whoop dee doo. Enjoy I think. 

Idk why, but this recording RUINED the quality of the art. They look better in scratch bitmap if you can believe if. (My #scratchcraft tag on my tumblr art blog is another, possibly higher quality, place to look for this art as well.) 

Guys I PROMISE it's totally not blood. :3 

Instructions:  Right arrow, space or click to go forward, left arrow to go back. Do NOT steal my art! It's been too long! XD 

Drawings:  1: Storm and sand 2: Voidway fighting Tall from the Season 3 Finale 3: Carsick and the dragon puke fiasco (Ft. Spector and Hunted laughing at him.) 4. Storm killing Shulkers. :3 (He actually specifically asked me to make this one!) 5. Storm and his new house. :3 (I'm Storm's thumbnail person now, apparently.) 6. Storm flying through the cliffs 7. Storm flying through the cliffs (Alt) 8. Waterfall 9. Goodbye Huntedskelly! 10. Storm going shopping yippie! 11. Storm shopping with less effects. 12 - 13. Saltyy dragon au (I think I posted these before, but not with good photos lol) 14 - 15. Hunted dragon au (Same with the second of these) 16. Mallon dragon au (this one too) 17. Inkamar dragon au 18. Alexstudios dragon au 19. Carsick dragon au 20. Just a regular Huntedskelly :) 21 - 27. trying to work out Inkamar's design. 28 - 20. Foxlife37 (and the Cod God in the first one) 31. Waveii 32. Stormlordzeus 33. Magic_02 34. Mallonations 35. PotatoAnimator 36. Saltyy 37. Storm and the blue axolotl 38. Storm vs the Creamy Lama Pokemon battle 39. Just the Creamy Lama 40. Just Storm 41. Voidway and Saltical at the world meeting table from the first Hetalia episode. (None of the art on this slide is mine. I just edited it.) 42. Storm vs Warden 43. Storm vs Panda (lol) (Also it's the thumbnail of this project, ignore the text.) 44. Just Storm from that last one. 45. Storm with sand to celebrate his return. 46. A watercolor thing of Storm from a WHILE ago. 47. Another random Storm. 48. Mallonations 'cus he found another account of mine on a different website. [For the record, it was this one] 49. An old comparison of my two Kenpoviper designs. 50. A REALLY old drawing of Hunted I just don't think I've posted on Scratch. 51. Voidway to a song because he requested it lol 52. Kenpoviper for an expression challenge. 53. Huntedskelly for an expression challenge. 54. A warning thingy 55. Voidway for an expression challenge. 56-58: Voidway design details 59-67: Huntedskelly drawings I doodled in math. :3

30-36 was me asking my sisters to give me random scratchcrafters to draw. :) Fun! 

Feel free to ask in the comments lol. 

Notes and Credits: @savebatsfromscratch (me) for the art and designs. All creators are credited above in the list of drawings. Song: Unfounded Revenge Smashing Song of Praise - Super Smash Bros Version Hetalia for that one background lol. 

Programs/art materials used in the various drawings:   1.Scratch bitmap (Almost all digital artworks are entirely done with Scratch bitmap.)   2. Paper and pen (Literally, clearly these are not scratch bitmap.)   3. Some crayons in some cases.   4. A tiny bit of mspaint for editing some of them.   5. A tiny bit of scratch vector for the same reason.   6. A thing to stretch out the sides of the scratch thing for the last one. (Still bitmap though.)     7. Watercolor on that one of Storm kneeling on the ground from like three years ago??   8. DA Muro for the expression challenge ones.

Important information about my profile or something;

Hi, my name is Geethee, I come from Poland but currently live somewhere else in Europe, i don't do gender and I like men, aliens and robots. My age is in bio, which will always stay up to date. I have C-PTSD, chronic depression, autism and a dissociation disorder (all which i am diagnosed for). I also experience schizophrenic symptoms from time to time, i take antipsychotics for it but apparently it wasn't bad enough for an official diagnosis. (I know it's a lot and TMI but it's important y'all know this as it can affect my behavior in major ways)

I made this account as the one account I will be keeping as pg13, just in case I will need to show my art work to some people outside my current friend circle. Ex; a job, new friends, family, ...

Currently the only fandom im active in is Rayman, but I am interested in many many more characters from other places. Feel free to ask about them if you're curious, or request art from me of characters that I didn't post on here yet <3

While I mostly post digital art here, I also like to sew, write, design, do some clay work, paint, game, etc. Those things I unfortunately don't take requests for as they take a lot of effort, but my commissions are open!

REMINDER TO ALWAYS CLICK MY ART FOR BETTER QUALITY (Tumblr ruins it with the preview)

Also I DO allow reposts AS LONG AS you credit me :)

Rise! Leosagi/Leoichi Fankids

All that effort put in to keep the quality and tumblr ruins it

Click for better quality please!

Finally done! Disclaimer: I traced over Leo and Donnie's ref sheet for the poses but the rest is original with expression redraws ignore that I forgot the shadows/shorts on rumi

Rumi

Eldest of the kids(but not of this gen of Hamato)

Looks like a carbon copy of her dad at her age except her legs are bigger and thicker with muscle and resting bitch face

From her rabbit side of the family she got the leg strength, The Usagi Glare, a bit more heightened hearing, that rabbit tick of tapping a foot rapidly in frustration

Leo used to call her Moonlight when she was little

Disaster lesbian

Her mystic is projections(?), She can summon hundreds of swords and swing them around, she can also do clone constructs but it's a quantity vs quality thing, if she wants to confuse the enemy on who the real one is she can only make like 3-4, many to barrage an enemy are all glowy and stuff, like shadow clones can hit but can't really take one

Shuichi

Middle child of both the 'blue branch' of the Hamato clan and this gen

Great singer

Shuichi tail is pretty long for a rabbit tail cuz of turtle gene

My version of Yuichi would not get a grape stuck up his nose for a year

His eldest son on the other hand...

Leo used to call bun Starlight

Think DBZ Goku, nice and dumb as hell, but pretty smart in fights

Has Hamato clan symbol somewhere on her person but miniature to respect both clans they come from

Lightning mystic, can teleport (has hang on to someone to teleport others) and move really fast(DC speedster like)

Sandro

Youngest of this gen

gnc af

I took inspo for his outfit from Casey(Sr.), Karai and tried to incorporate a kimono elements that usagi is always wearing, I put Hamato black and red, his signature color, Donnie's purple and dark purple for the hooded cloak

A family joke is that Donnie 'stole' him from Leo

But he's still a Papa's boy through and through

Leo used to call him his little Jade

I'm thinking either him or Mikey's daughter Elisebeta are Big Mama's heir favorite grandkid(s)

Still undecided on his mystic? Something like Donnie's or exactly, or maybe ice?

Both Shuichi and Sandro can make turtle noises, and have long claws like male sliders, they also hibernate thanks(more like nothanks) to the turtle brumation gene, and they have the third eyelid thing the turtles have that make their eyes pure white.

In regards to your posts about ao3 and how vile it is in actuality, I wanna say thank you. I've not put much thought into the website I've been using but this has put things into perspective. I no longer want my work (work that I am proud of) on a website like that. Ao3 doesn't align with my values and I'm assuming many other people's who use the site.

Do you have any suggestions on a better site everyone can use?

(Side note: I absolutely adore your work!)

sure thing!

while there are no websites quite like ao3 in terms of filtering, curation, bookmarks, likes/comments etc there are a few alternatives out there!

Wattpad - I know people make fun of this one because it's where all the rpf for bands went back in the day but it is still operating and many people use it so you'll likely just switch viewers from ao3 to wattpad pretty seamlessly

Tumblr - you can always post directly on here! there is a character limit i believe of 4k so it's great for showing previews or even cutting up a small fic into parts 1, 2, 3, etc. a little clunky but it's an option if you only write short stuff! (Twitter threads can even be an option for this though again, a lil restrictive and works better for super short works!)

Google Docs + Linktree - if you have a linktree account you can always just link a view only (make sure people can't edit!) google doc of the fic! having the fics on a linktree still give people the ability to see all of your work in one place, and you can even see on linktree the click statistics for each fic! while it doesn't give the reader the ability to like/comment, you can always encourage those who do like it to leave a message on your tumblr!

Discord (or any groupchat tbh!) - similar to above you can always set up a discord server and post your fics view docs links there! it gives a curated experience and you can see the comments of people directly in the server

AO3 has seemingly made people believe that each and everyone one of their fan creations must be thrown out into the void where you hope everyone sees it and loves it. I think this has really stifled people's abilities to truly be creative in terms of making content of their favourite medias (and even with transitioning to making original work!) because you may subconsciously be adhering the current trends and whatnot of everyone else, even if you don't really like it yourself! I mean look at how common modern/high school aus still are today when I have yet to meet anyone who actually likes them. Look at how many books that have been published lately that painfully follow AO3 tag systems, where they don't even havea blurb anymore and instead just have "friends to lovers meet blah blah blah! read it now!". (Not to mention the quality of the books being published is fucking atrocious)

AO3 has ruined publishing and I am being entirely serious about that.

But back to where you wanna go with your fics now. Don't be afraid to restructure how you interact with your hobbies! It doesn't have to be so exposed and vulnerable to anyone and everyone having their say on it. I used to participate massively in fandom and I'll be honest, it made me miserable. I constantly felt like I couldn't keep up, that my ideas were wrong because another idea was more popular, and I really struggled. So I took about a hundred steps back and only interact with the media I like through my friends who also like it! And it's a lot better! You may not get hundreds and thousands of likes on fics from here on out if that's what you're used to, but I guarantee you'll have more meaningful interactions that you actually hold dear to you far more than any "a guest has left a kudos on your work" notification.

(Also just a pre-emptive thing of anyone who wants to defend AO3 on this post because "it's an integral part of fandom!" or "they need that much money because they run a site with no ads!", or you want to try and tell me that the fics on there are fine because it's fiction regardless of what the fics is (including literal fucking CSAM), just know you are completely unserious and I don't value a single thing you say. So don't even try it. How about you donate to a marginalised person's mutual aid for the first time in your life and you'll calm down.)
