Hi peeps! The name's Gemma. I'm a filmmaker, animation enthusiast and caretaker of this rowdy bunch. I publish most of my work under the Niftihalo Studios label, but I’ll also do a little nonsense on the side now and then. If you enjoy 'cute sci-fi' and friendship-centric tales, stick around!
The main cast of comic/animation series, 'W.A.T.S.O.N Your Mind?' - Kyler, Greg, Trisha (and Booker on the TV)

A digital painting featuring a headshot of Zmac’s OC, Saino — a woman with long, light purple hair decorated with a red-pink flower. She has yellow eyes and she is looking at the viewer with a smile.

I had hoped to commission an artist on skeb, but a Twitter/X account to register seems to be mandatory... 😫

One day I may even get the other Outcast Hero thing I yoinked Vinny's voice for done. Who knows!

Early peek at something I've been messing around with using a clip of Vinny from his Pikmin 4 playthrough. I'll update it with the finished one whenever…

I have never felt so seen

I will scream an ear off about the tyranny of bloodless, joyless, rote hyperrealism for HOURS
moviessilently.bsky.social Movies Silently @moviessilently.bsky.social · 1d
“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

This is actually the second time I've updated this illustration, the first version was from 2016! This is one of my favourite pieces I've ever made, so I like to update it as my skills improve every few years 💜

An art challenge that was making its way round deviantART that managed to sneak its way into my college coursework. This is my character Rolly; he first appeared in my 2008 animated short, Rocky and Rolly!

Fun fact: Rolly also made a cameo in the Loony Code game 86.

The final art raffle piece is complete!!

Here are Kenzie Webb's (@wyntersong.com) OCs Wynter and Kenny sharing a loving moment as their work day ends and their evening begins ☕️🍞😌

I hope you like it Kenzie!! :D 💜💜💜
A digital drawing of Kenzie Webb's characters Wynter (left) and Kenny (right) coming together for a cup of coffee and a shared loaf of salt, pepper, and herb hedgehog bread! Wynter is sitting down at a table, having brought the loaf of bread from her bakery one room over, and is reaching out to grab a cup of coffee that Kenny brewed for her. Kenny, who is walking to the table with two mugs of coffee, is holding the hot cup with the handle to Wynter, as to offer her the cooler handle of the mug In the background of Kenny's coffee shop, we see a table in the back, some hanging lights, a painting of the Wyntersong flower on the right wall, and a cabinet. Over two couches with a coffee table in between them, a clock and two shelves with potted plants hang on a wood-texture, extruding portion of the wall. The clock reads 6:23 (slightly after both of their shops are closed for the day)

Marlon is carrying a box full of saved art of humanized Wheatley from Portal 2 and pointing to it with a weirded out expression, saying: "What's THIS?" I'm standing nearby looking a mixture of upset and embarrassed, saying: "I was going through a phase...don't judge me."

I am a simple woman. I see the animated weather on my lock screen, I am happy. (I changed to winter a bit sooner since it’s already really cold but mostly it still rains so winter Nova is getting wet 🥲)

having animators, voice actors, or really just anybody on the project who REALLY /GETS/ the characters and what you're going for adds so so much to a project

Opened Twitter for the first time in a while just to dig up this tweet of theirs I adore
Tweet from Jesse Hamm (@Hamm_Tips) reading "Somewhere out there are people who need to hear a story you're uniquely able to tell. Art by others, even better art, won't do; only yours."
