With gravity falls coming back it's got me thinking so much about the Transcendence AU. Sketched out some quick older Mabel designs and then went full on crazy with it. I like the idea that she ends up using her own hair in a couple of deals, which leads to her fluctuating between long and short hair. And yes those are stickers stuck to her leg in the second one

Just thinking of my favorite fanon over-powered immortal young adults and them working together to build a world where they are gods.

Danny is the god of the cosmos, Sam is the goddess of the natural world, Tucker is the god of civilization and Alcor is the god of the mind and soul.

This is literally as far as I've gotten. Maybe when they encounter the newest reincarnations of their family they give them the option to reincarnate in that world next time.

Maybe at some point they decided to pull various heroes from their worlds to "play" with them.

Maybe they throw the Big Three from the Justice League into the world after they've first met and their adventure leads to them getting their teamwork to the level they are now known for.

One of Young Justice's crazy missions ends up with them going on an adventure in that world.

I'm also imagining 20-something year old versions of kid heroes, who have already finished their story for the most part, being thrown into a world where their old magic works again.

alcor. again. yeah. i love him dont blame me

the order is as follows:

There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie

SUP! Here is my entry for the 10th TAUnniversary! I didn't know if I should participate on my own but a lil' comic made me change my mind!

This work is also based on one of the covers of "All Star Superman", I think it would fit our favorite dork perfectly jsjjs

Despite everything, he is still a human...who protects other humans ;)

Doodle inspired by @that-ghosts-art’s comic, which managed to break me out of and art block

The ensuing court case:

Bonus under the cut (TW for death, blood, injuries, and poorly drawn angles)

it was suggested I post this to the tags as well >:D

fuck it ima tag @transcendence-au as well because tbh I'm very proud of my silly little animation

some me being a nerd under the cut!

okay so this all started when I read the original post this was inspired by and though 'wouldn't it be silly to add some art to this 3 year old post?' but then I decided to animate it for funsies!

and gosh I sure do love animating!

So I got the base sketch and then got into the lineart animation for each component!

i don't have the sketches/wips saved at all sense this wasn't really a project and it took less than a day to complete. but here's a peak at the timeline

I animate entirely in my ususal drawing software: clip studio paint. It's just what's easiest for me.

all of these layers outside that folder are just the sparkles! after I finished I added some sparkles for fun! there's a lot of them because it involved a lot of copy and pasting sparkle layers

the bottom folders here are the wings body and facial expression! for everything like the wings arms and flags I was able to just copy paste, reverse, and then align the timing correctly in the timeline

one thing unique about this animation is that the lineart and colors are in separate layers! I tend to do line and colors on the same layer but this time I was using a brush that doesn't have the same lack of anti-aliasing and sense it's a small animation I wasn't as worried about keeping a minimum of layers like usual.

also the movement of the body is only 4 frames! and one one of those is just the hat shifting position

initially I wasn't going to have the second facial expression but when I got stuck on animating the flags I added the second facial expression while taking a break.

the arm animation is just 8 frames! honestly the only tricky part in this is the flags, everything else was pretty simple, which made it super fun to work on because I got both a challenge and mindless therapeutic drawing out of it.

NOW THE FLAGS there was 3 throw away attempts before I got it: you see the thing that made this tricky is finding the balance between believability and visual appeal. a big part of animation is creating the illusion of physics, this is the 'believability' part, I need these to look like flags that are moving and made of flat fabric, HOWEVER if I animate these one-to-one with realistic physics: it won't look good! I can't apply wind to the whole drawing because then the hair would have to react, and wind goes one way, and I wan't the flags to be pointing opposite directions. so without wind the flags would be laying down flat, but that won't look good at all! and furthermore realistic physics would have the flag not being all nice and front facing most of the time. so the trick here was figuring out how much physics to apply to make it look believable, while still making it look good.

one trick I did to help me animate the flags is I actually made a plan rectangle flag as a guide so that the general mass/volume of the flag would stay consistent, this is something i highly recommend when animating! like having a circle guide along a characters head to keep their height and proportions consistent.

after I finally found the balance with the flag lineart coloring wasn't too hard! sense I just had to follow the lines, and THANK GOODNESS the trans and aroace flag have the same number of stripes: saving me time!

and then it all comes together to make a satisfying perfectly looping bundle of cuteness >:DDD I feel like the tau fandom doesn't have as many artists with particularly cartoony/chibi art styles so I've gotta play my part in spreading the joy-whimsy-adorable-sillys >:D

anyway! hope you get to see a cool beetle today :D

Repost! (Cuz i apperently just noticed that i wrote transcendence wrong for like 2 months-)

I made this while I was bored as hell in a long flight, now i wake up to it everyday (as my lock screen)

Characters are from my fic!

Go read it. 🔫
