What to Expect Coming Up

I am still sick, but thought it’d be fun to mention all the projects I have going on and my sort of process.

I’ve gotten into the flow of 3 art -> animate an hour -> 3 art -> reference sheet; and repeat! Now the “3 art” doesn’t include warm-ups, which I’ll discuss in a moment. This usually varies but does have a pattern of priority to it.

Commissions (none atm, but one has discussed interest) -> Deadline art (contest entries, featured character, birthday gifts) -> “Required” art (raffle prizes [2 remain], Benrey project, 11 Bulbasaur gifts, 42 late Artfight attacks) -> Other stuff

When it comes to warm-ups, I’ve gone 32 times in a row of purely HLVRAI. It’ll still be thrown in the mix, but I’d like to add Pokemon and OCs as a chance too! Warm-ups include any requests I get, and those increase in chance the longer they’re there. Meanwhile there’s still the chance my random wheel will choose something like “Sunkist” three days in a row lol.

Now to discuss all the projects! First off, my next three art will be: raffle prize, a small special RTVS animation, and a doodle of my next hyperfixation which I’ll then open up for requests as well!

HLVRAI

“Cabinet Man” Animatic: A more long-term project that’s fully storyboarded so far, but I plan on making rendered (or at least colored) illustrations for.

I have two parts in my Multi-Animator-Project! One part is Benrey and Gordon focused, while the other part is Tommy, Bubby, and Coomer focused, so I get to animate the whole Science Team and that excites me!! (One part still open by the way, hint hint.) The MAP itself is a third of the way complete let’s goooooo!

Other animation projects include: “Two Birds” Tommy and Benrey friendship animatic (fully written), “Eighth Wonder” Tommy animatic (just an idea, focusing on the others first), and occasional clips or mini animations.

Benrey Fanart (and then the other characters too!): I have 12 people left to reach out to, but I gotta do it slowly so my account doesn’t get shadowbanned again (that was scary ngl). But once I do, the sign-up post will be updated regularly as I work and I’ll DM everyone individually as I finish theirs!

@sweetvoicecafe ! I am very excited to get this up and running! I have 3 references remaining, and then I can work on the introductory comic. (I mayyyyyyyy call for voice actors.)

HLVRAI-based OCs: This is a more minor thing, but I want to finish 9 more designs before Artfight, as I’ve only finished Joshie.

Pokemon

It’ll be a while longer until it’s ready, but I’d like to restart my Shiny Living Dex Challenge. And it’ll no longer be discord only, I’ll extend it to tumblr as well! Especially since there’s art prizes involved.

I have 11 remaining Bulbasaur/Ivysaur/Venusaur gifts to finish!

The occasional warmup, request, doodle, etc.

“Close Up Meme” Phanthop AU Animatic that I would love to polish and color.

“Never Love an Anchor” Hop and Leon animatic that I have indeed started (just an animatic this time, not polished)

I’ve started releasing collab (with @mr-web ) Art Podcasts on my youtube channel hint hint ;)

Misc.

Streams: Over on my Twitch (same name): I stream weekly (maybe more, depending on my new work schedule, just finished moving after all). At the moment, I’m taking turns with Half Life (nearly done with game one) and Omori (collab with Doglord15). Soon it’ll (hopefully) include Pokemon, but I’d also like to try Undertale Yellow, Portal, Hollow Knight, and more! As well as a return to art streams, that’d be cool.

Artfight Prep: I am mostly done, but remaining I have: 3 SVC refs, 9 HLVRAI OC refs, and fully updating my spreadsheet, which will also be updated on tumblr! (I may do this today, as it’s something I can do while bed-ridden.) Plus the 42 leftover revenges.

Among Us “Bark Bark” Animatic: nearly 3 years in the works but it’s chugging . . . there were complications with the cameos involved that hurt my motivation and the progress, but it’s still in the works haha…

“Haunted House” Vent Animatic: This is 2/3s of the way complete! As it’s something personal, I worked on it quickly after a certain event, but I’d still like to finish it. <3

New Hyperfixation: Surprise reveal! It’s Wreck-It Ralph (and specifically Hero’s Cuties). It won’t be a huge thing, but I’d like to doodle here and there, open requests for it, and draw up three AU designs that have been in my mind for nearly 13 years.

@theairshipexperiment : Yes yes, I knowwwwwwwwwwwww y’all are mad at me. It’s been three years and I still get people upset that it hasn’t continued. It’s not completely canceled, just very very slowww. I’m nearly done writing chapter 3, but that means there’s 7 chapters to go. At least I’ve started giving myself completely random reminders for times to write haha. It’s my only writing project atm, but writing takes so much more effort from me than art, I’m sorry.

@absurdamongus : Very low on my list, but I still enjoy their designs and would one day like to continue finishing their refs and maybe reopen an ask blog. An animated series would still be cool, but it’d be a long way off if so.

So yeah, a lot of projects and a lot of excitement! I’m going at a fair pace (when I’m not sick) and art continues to be my passion! <3

[cj-the-random-artist]

Hiiii, I absolutely adore your art style and QPR Narilamb au! I don't think I've ever seen one before! I also love the way you characterize the well... characters!

Uhhhhh, I guess I should ask an actual question, tho right?

So now that the Lamb sees that people like the "everything he hates about himself" side through the Goat, will he loosen up a bit? Or will he double down?

Once again love love love your art and au!

Ooh another question, got any OCs?

Hello!! Thank you!! I'm glad you like how I characterize them, I've gotta admit it's all very self-indulgent so whenever someone says they like my characterizations my brain breaks for a hot second lmfao

As for the question..... I think Lambert more shuts down initially, and then eventually lightens up. Like I think Lambert kinda sees that the flock becomes fond of the Goat quite quickly and they kind of distance themself from their followers. Like they do all the stuff that they've been doing but they seem more disengaged, and they go out on crusades more and more often, stay out for longer, and more and more frequently come back having died or been seriously injured while they were gone. And Narinder probably picks this up pretty early but doesn't really know what to do to help until it gets worse. Eventually, they do snap back into being more present, which goes along with their whole arc of learning that like, being imperfect is normal, the high standards they have for themself are incredibly unrealistic, they're allowed to take breaks and be a little selfish sometimes, etc etc, and I think in part the Goat also helps them with this- when Lambert eventually warms up to them, of course- and so does Narinder. But the way I imagine this most likely going is "Lambert starts to tune out and become distant and needs support to tune back in" kinda vibes. Sidenote: I didn't think that was going to sound that heavy until I wrote it out. Uh... sorry bout that.

As for OCs... I do have OCs, but I haven't posted about them in a really long time. Most of my OCs are in some way attached to the same story, which is a longtime work in progress of mine that I do intend to turn into a large scale comic one day, but... it's a very big project. Like, unreasonably big. That said, their (not current) information is available on my artfight, which can be found here. Not all their info on their artfight profiles is accurate because I've recently done an ungodly amount of worldbuild overhauling, rewriting, and contemplating of "hmm maybe this wasn't a good idea....." and those also aren't my only OCs, but... that's the best answer I can give ya for that. They exist, but current versions of them are not anywhere on the internets and I don't intend for that to change for a while (not until the start of the comic is ready, actually)

Anyways. Thank you so much for the ask, it makes me so very happy that you enjoy my art and my AU, and I hope you have a lovely day!!

getting ready for artfight this year! you know i gotta be on the green team lmao

[lattefo4m]

Getting ready for ArtFight! Gotta make a new icon to fit my team of course!

[foxglovefaun]

tired

hurted my wrist a little so i gotta hang back for a bit, esp from artfight shenanigans. but chapter 4 is well on its way, with 5 pages inked and ready to go. im going to be making a trip to a couple metro stations to get some location photos in the coming days, which is something i've been gearing up for over the past half a year and im pretty excited about that.

anyway im very tired and occasionally find myself staring burnout in the face, so it's gonna be a slow couple days for me until i pick up speed again

just wanted to give y'all a lil update

[angelofchaos001]

Okay! I finished this!

These are the five I really hope to get done. No iterating tonight folks unless I get through these (and then I gotta update this fuck)

Despite Junebug (one of my fursonas) being pictured here she's not ready for artfight since her design isn't set in stone yet.

I also noticed how many of my sonas are gray while making this. Grey is very pretty

So far, only Akoya's ref is done but I need to make a pfp and put it up on Artfight still. Hope to get the others done soon!

[angst-and-fajitas]

Ok I am GONNA do Artfight this year, FINALLY, I GOTTA

I may only get two or three characters ready with all the refs and such, but that's still cool

Haven't set up my profile or picked a team yet cause I gotta figure out what sides my art friends are on, but I'm here! https://artfight.net/~angst-and-fajitas

Weekly update August 30, 2024

Man I was so productive this week I did so much it’s great! I’m tired and all that but not as much as I expected, I got a pretty much free weekend in front of me, and I think I might have Monday off too (not 100% sure yet though so I’m not making any plans until I know for sure). I’m hoping I can keep it up into next week too, but wouldn’t be surprised if some bad luck hits me down.

I finished up a (mostly) instrumental piece today, it’s as done as it’s getting and I’m queueing that up for tomorrow. RR is also basically done, I might fiddle with some audio effects a touch more but otherwise it’s good to get a video together. I’ll outline what I need to draw for that tonight or tomorrow morning. Between that and another one I have planned for a mostly finished cover (WOTW), I’d like to try and get one video done by Halloween, so I’m going to try to dedicate more time to animation. The little ones I did before artfight were pretty quick so I hope I’ll be able to get enough done.

Oh also forgot to mention: I buy the bullet and got the Vocaloid mobile editor. Gotta play around with online converters to get midi into the format it needs to be and onto my phone, but it works fine. Bad news is: the ZOLAs are sold separately? The whole reason I wanted to stick with them was because they’re a package! They are still cheap at least, nd still some of the better sounding male voices so I might grab them eventually anyway, but for now I’mma stick with Mizki, and send the vsqx to friends if I want to export with the ZOLAs or Kagamines. I’m also tempted to grab Miku since she’s cheaper than everyone else on mobile for some reason, but I’ll see how Mizki sounds for now. I don’t know what the differences between the ‘light’ and full versions are, but so far she’s getting by.

Comic was also the big thing this week, Page 9 just needs textures and shading and lettering and it’s all good to go, which I plan to do tonight, whereupon the comic will be 31% done! I’m also planning to take bigger bites out of that while I’m still not so tired, hopefully it lasts a while.

Epithet Erased TTRPG is going good, got maps planned and more statblocks done, applied the math I did and have a good base for how much stamina everything needs to have so I can just sit down and plow through the rest once I’m ready. Only got one character token done this week, and it took longer than anticipated so I do need more practice with the EE style, but it can chip away at that over the weekend if we end up getting Monday off. I’ll probably decide to do the maps first though. If maps don’t take super long I’ll try to hammer out the rest of what I need for the campaign soon too.

Yeah not a lot to show off this week but I did a lot. And I get a long weekend to do even more. This feels like the save room before a really hard boss, but I’ll take advantage of it and release what I can soon. Song tomorrow is the biggest thing, hopefully it goes over well even though it’s an unpopular genre!

[snuffydoo]
