This is a birthday sketch for Prawnzo, who celebrated his special day on August 12th!

He plays Fortnite a bunch, uses the Polar Patroller skin, and loves pizza, soooooo… I combined everything into one. :3

[chainsxwsmile]

Tie-down is done; I’m going to fix a few things before final inking but this is a good stopping point for today

I bumped up the frame-rate to 24fps, which is what most Disney and other professional animation studios use.

Truck Services: Your Reliable Partner for Tiedown and Bungee Cords

ntroduction

In the world of transportation and logistics, truck services play a crucial role. As a factory specializing in tiedown and bungee cords, along with complementary truck services, we understand the significance of providing high - quality products and efficient services to meet the diverse needs of our customers. This blog article will explore various aspects of truck services, the importance of tiedown and bungee cords, and how our factory is well - positioned to serve the industry.

1. The Importance of Truck Services

Truck services are the backbone of the supply chain. They are responsible for transporting goods across short and long distances, ensuring that products reach their intended destinations in a timely and secure manner. Trucks are highly versatile, being able to access areas that may not be easily reachable by other means of transportation. Whether it is delivering raw materials to manufacturing plants, transporting finished goods to distribution centers, or providing last - mile delivery to end - customers, truck services are indispensable.

In addition, truck services contribute to economic growth. They create employment opportunities, both directly in the trucking industry and indirectly in related sectors such as maintenance, fuel supply, and logistics management. A well - functioning truck service network also enables businesses to expand their markets, as they can rely on trucks to transport their products to new regions.

2. Tiedown and Bungee Cords in Truck Services

Tiedown and bungee cords are essential components in truck services. Tiedown cords, also known as ratchet straps, are used to secure cargo on trucks. They are designed to withstand high tension forces, ensuring that the cargo remains in place during transportation. Tiedown cords come in various lengths, widths, and load - bearing capacities to accommodate different types of cargo.

Bungee cords, on the other hand, are elastic cords with hooks at both ends. They are useful for securing smaller items or for providing additional tension when used in conjunction with tiedown cords. Bungee cords are flexible and can be easily adjusted to fit different shapes and sizes of cargo.

The proper use of tiedown and bungee caps is crucial for safety in truck services. Improperly secured cargo can shift during transit, leading to accidents, damage to the goods, and potential harm to other road users. Our factory is committed to producing high - quality tiedown and bungee cords that meet industry standards and regulations.

3. Our Factory's Offerings

As a leading factory in the production of tiedown and bungee cords, we offer a wide range of products. Our tiedown cords are made from high - strength materials such as polyester and nylon, which are known for their durability and resistance to abrasion. We also offer different types of buckles and fasteners to ensure easy and secure attachment to the truck bed or trailer.

Our bungee cords are available in various elasticities and lengths, allowing customers to choose the most suitable option for their specific needs. We use high - quality rubber and synthetic materials to ensure the longevity and reliability of our bungee cords.

In addition to the products, we also provide complementary truck services. We can offer advice on the proper use of tiedown and bungee cords, as well as provide installation and maintenance services for truck - mounted tie - down systems. Our team of experts is well - trained in the latest safety regulations and can ensure that your truck is properly equipped to transport cargo safely.

4. Quality Control and Safety Standards

Quality control is of utmost importance in our factory. We have implemented a strict quality management system to ensure that every tiedown and bungee cord that leaves our factory meets the highest standards. Our products are tested for strength, durability, and elasticity before they are shipped to customers.

We also adhere to all relevant safety standards and regulations. Our tiedown and bungee cords are compliant with national and international safety requirements, such as those set by the Department of Transportation in the United States. By following these standards, we can ensure the safety of our customers and the integrity of the goods being transported.

5. Customer Service

At our factory, we believe that excellent customer service is key to building long - term relationships. We strive to provide prompt and efficient service to our customers, whether they are placing an order, seeking technical advice, or reporting a problem. Our customer service team is available to answer any questions and resolve any issues in a timely manner.

We also offer customization options for our tiedown and bungee cords. Customers can request specific lengths, colors, or branding on their products to meet their unique requirements. This allows our customers to have a more personalized product that also serves as a form of advertising for their business.

6. The Future of Truck Services and Our Role

The truck services industry is constantly evolving. With the increasing demand for e - commerce and last - mile delivery, there is a growing need for more efficient and sustainable truck services. Our factory is committed to keeping up with these trends by investing in research and development.

We are exploring new materials and manufacturing techniques to produce even more durable and environmentally - friendly tiedown and bungee cords. We are also looking into ways to improve the efficiency of our truck services, such as through the use of advanced logistics software and telematics systems.

In conclusion, truck services are an essential part of the modern economy, and tiedown and bungee cords are vital components within these services. Our factory is dedicated to providing high - quality products and excellent services to support the truck services industry. Whether you are a trucking company, a logistics provider, or a business that relies on truck transportation, we are here to meet your needs and ensure the safe and efficient transport of your goods.

I got mad that animation professionals and teachers can’t agree on what exactly an extreme is and the people always confuse overlapping action and secondary action and it’s because classical animation literature is confusing and redundant so I’ve taken it upon myself to make it actually make sense and concise, and this is my first draft.

Do let me know if I should clarify something or you have feedback!

Just found out you have a tumblr! I was wondering what stuff you use to animate? and the workflow, Im always interested in learning stuff about this ^^

Yo! Regarding programs stuff I have an FAQ here

As for workflow, I have some BTS videos on YT that I think does a better job illustrating my process than a text wall would here2 and here3

[teotoffee]

In a better timeline i'd be paid to paint renaissance sttle yaoi

HOWDY EVERYONE- so excited to FINALLY be able to show off my piece for this year's Bumbleby Big Bang!

Unfortunately no accompanying story as of yet- but I really hope you guys get to read it someday! The premise involves Yang cursed to be trapped inside a sword, which was an idea I KNEW I had to make move.

Details and development stuff under the cut!

Lots of fun collaboration with the author, Celeste! We worked together to find the look-of-picture, Blake's outfit, how the Grimm look, the style of the sword, the whole shabang! I'm really happy with how it all turned out!

When I first saw all the prompts, even before claims opened, I got to work on a handful of exploration pieces based on some of the summaries, to decide which of the stories I was interested in would be the best fit. Here's the initial idea for this one I put together over a lunch break:

After showing Celeste, we got to work finding the look we wanted! Went back and forth a bit and found this great look for Blake! Also shoutout to Pinterest boards for visdev inspiration I love you Pinterest boards.

Just about everything stayed to final anim, with the simplification of getting rid of that purple cloth hanging from her belt, (since I already had the rope ends to think about working with), and the light purple strap across the chest, since leaving it out would simplify the linework on her chest.

The sword also went through a bit of change! Celeste had the idea of Yang making the sword catch on fire, which I LOVED. I went with a split design so we can see the fire more clearly start from the hilt and grow to cover the whole blade.

And from there we brainstormed animation ideas! I went all over Youtube for video reference of sword work (that would be complex enough to be interesting, but short enough to be manageable). I found something we liked from Motion Actor Inc., a channel I've used LOTS for both personal and professional work (I work in 3D Animation, for those who don't know). I edited this together, to see the action from multiple places at once, which gave me the idea for that camera move that's in the final anim!

Now for the fun part! Make that badboy MOVE. For the cam turn, the first frame she's in the air I'm referencing the top left video, and the frame she lands I'm referencing the bottom left one. While she's airborne I'm just inbetweening that! No reference for the Grimm, just wanted it responding to her attacks, but I end up tweaking the roughs later on to make the block feel stronger.

Then from there we had to actually figure out Grimm designs! Nimona had just released, and Celeste and I loved it, so she asked if I could take some inspiration from Nimona's shadow form! GLADLY. Here's what I came up with!

I was going between how the movies and comic designed Nimona, really loving the almost liquid shadow of the movie, but also how the comics had this broken up/held together rougher form. Celeste liked the second to last one the best! The original plan was to have it leave a wispy shadow trail like the concept art, but to simplify the animation we left it solid instead!

Next up is tiedown! Basically just getting the roughs more on-model, so the lineart comes out nice and clean. I've also transferred the new Grimm design to the base from earlier, and fire's also outlined orange so it reads clearer. (SPOILER- if you look REAL close here, you can see Yang visible in the fire! I liked the idea of Blake's slash also doubling as Yang throwing a punch. The idea is in the concept art earlier but now it's working with the action.)

Next step- final look of picture!! I asked Celeste for sources of inspiration to draw from when thinking about environment design, and we got Nimona, She-Ra, and Owl House! Used each of those as springboards for shading style, colour palettes, and how the fire would look!

From there, we kept the straight trees/bush/lake/foreground greenery from the first one, the blues from the second, and the fire from the third!

Once I had this frame, it was a matter of working backwards and making the background work pre-camera turn (which was ABSOLUTELY the most challenging part of this process). Learned a lot doing this! Procreate isn't quite equipped to make something like this efficient, but I'm pleased to say that Dreams would make something like this easier in the future (keyframing objects instead of hand-drawing/spacing duplicates by hand, for example).

From then on it was just colouring the lineart, adding shading, and finishing up the background! Beginning-to-end this whole process was beginning of July to end of October!

I had an absolute BLAST putting all this together. Here's to next year where I find a way to do something even more ridiculously complicated!! It's fun!!!

Roughs and Tiedown from "The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker" episode.

I remember having an artblock while doing this shot. Took me a week or more of just redoing the roughs.

A behind the scenes look into the process of Zack Lydon’s “Final Fantasy VII” Tribute. This video includes a wider look at the scanned contact sheets, and videos of thumbnail, tiedown, and digital color passes of animation.

Original video on Instagram

obligatory process vid- gonna start using these process vids as a word vomit on my thought process as well (wish i did that on my other ones LOL)

I'm teaching myself more about composite + 2d animation whenever I can and creating anims with it in mind, so these process vids/thoughts are more for myself to look back on and go "so i did this last time, how can I make it better."

I missed out on doing highlights and his jewelry + braid here due to being busy LOL, lacking secondary action here. Trying to implement stronger arc motions, which led to accidentally going overkill and made it look like Olrox was sitting on- yeah anyway. So that changed the complete trajectory of the mood of the animation went in the opposite direction. This also is a very 'side view', so for the next one, I'm gonna try to push for more dynamic staging (let's be honest my first priority was to be silly and basically redo that old anim i did in Nov 2023) also I get off-model near the end and it's bugging me. My tendency to speed through these mini self-projects often makes me forget little details so I will take note of that for future

(mix of tiedown and clean here)

On the composite side, I messed around with changing the shadow colour + shadow gradients yipee, which I think integrates them more into the scene but it's still so harsh for me, I cant figure out why because pushing it the other way makes it too soft but that will a challenge I'll face for my next anim (maybe?) Also the whites are too white and I gotta knock them down a peg. Despite knowing there are a lot more things I could do, I still think I did a pretty decent job with my limited knowledge. Honestly excited for when I can do highlights again because I feel like this would level it up more.

(still of the final render)

If you're still reading, thank you! You get a cookie. I literally did annotations over certain scenes which you can see here which i swear I watch more than just Nocturne, I just get super curious about how shots get built up and then put my own personal spin since some aspects allude to me for the time being.
