You have no idea how much fun I have making Eddy edits. Double D's literally my fucking favorite character of all time and I've only made him one single edit so far. I don't know, my Eddy edits just... happen. I'm subtitling the episodes and then oops I'm so clumsy how did this edit appear out of nowhere? Idk I think it's very easy to make edits of him, the inspiration just comes spontaneously. He's such an iconic character, I love this bo$$ bit¢h.
i'm glad you found it helpful! i work full time as a studio designer now but as a freelancer it would depend on the project... a lot of times clients would have a budget, so they'd set a flat rate and i'd negotiate from there (with varying results). disclaimer that these are junior rates and i live in the uk where the pay is notoriously bad, even in london:
for context, i mostly did hand-drawn animation for social media/marketing/tv ads - i had jobs ranging from £2k for ~12 secs of animation (though this was inclusive of storyboarding and character designs) to £600 for a whole-ass 90 sec film (also including storyboards/designs/edits). i wouldn't use the latter as a reference point because i was definitely being lowballed and if it were up to me i'd charge way higher LOL but as a graduate i ended up taking on those briefs for my portfolio and they did lead to me getting more work, for what it's worth. for comparison, i've talked to more established freelancers who'd ballpark £8-12k for a 2 min animation over a ~2 month production schedule.
my illustration work (mostly editorial gigs) would vary depending on the drawing's complexity/usage/client budget... but it was typically about £100-150 per illustration (also not great, but people kept telling me this was normal for a graduate so i just accepted it, despite being, like, fully rendered illustrations with bgs). again, i would price things differently if it were completely up to me, especially since i'm more confident with my style now, but i would honestly ask more experienced illustrators for better reference. i wanted to offer up my experience anyway bc i think it's beneficial to have transparent conversations about pay in this industry.
oh, and i do basically all of my illo/animation work in photoshop on my 8 year-old laptop (+ premiere pro for compositing), with a wacom intuos tablet... i don't necessarily recommend this equipment because 1) adobe is dudu, and 2) i recently started drawing on an ipad with procreate and it feels so much better than drawing on desktop, and i will probably upgrade my setup when i can comfortably afford to lol
in reference to these figurines - i used white air dry clay from hobbycraft! painted over with acrylics (and clay varnish, though that didn't seem to do much)
yeah... i salute akechi fans who are like, "i like akechi but i don't condone his actions" etc. because he could kill another 5 people and i'd be like, "that's literally iconic"
thank youuuuu! 💛 i'm glad people like my p5 art... even though a lot of it is old and ooc... i'll always keep it up because i like that others still enjoy it... goro akechi foreverrrrr
a collection of discord icons i’ve made my husband, ft. bridget, dudue, rinn, our matching one piece icons (i had zoro and he had luffy) and our matching ffxiv lizards (my WOL alta and his WOL rinn)
I have been watching Maxi Shield performing, hosting and just altogether whirling for years. But there's one thing she said that has always stuck with me.
There used to be a weekly nightclub version of Drag Race and the last night of the comp were the big production numbers with backup dancers and the whole extravaganza.
Well, one year a queen had a couple of girls doing backup for her and... They didn't have a lot of choreography and were a bit stiff, so there were a lot of points during the number where they were standing perfectly still and Maxi had some advice for them. Whenever you're on stage, you gotta keep the motor running.
You gotta have a bit of a bounce in your hip, you can't be doing statues while you're on stage and the music is going.
