This started as a joke sketch to draw them doing Sonic & Shadow poses from SA2 but I actually really like this and can't wait to color it.

A few more! Kept busy while watching a lot of Elden Ring Bingo Brawlers this weekend. Doing character design and boards at the same time is actually kinda fun. It gets me posing the character instead of drawing endless floating heads.

More development sketches of Zoe. Some of these are also storyboards for a script with her and Afterglow in it. I'll have to redo some of these with the asymmetrical bangs to see if I like that better.

Designing some friends and supporting characters for Afterglow since I'm writing episodes for her now.
Here is Zoe! Going for a 90s mall goth look for her. Still developing but I like these early drawings.

The OG destroyer of innocence right here. I even was friends with / had a crush on a girl in high school who looked kinda like her. Short, strawberry blonde, autistic 😂😍 So this one hits deep.

Finished and colored up version of this Afterglow sheet.
Want an embarrassing fact? Despite her whole deal being that her skin can glow and change color I haven't really drawn her DOING that other than slapping a cheap outer glow on a hand here and there. I'll change that soon.

I tried a different Procreate brush for each pose, so this counts as 9 Inktobers, right Chat?
Excited to color and animate some of these. This is the best Afterglow has ever looked!

I only just found you but I love the style and proportions you use!
I would have a few candidates for you if I won a sculpt... Robot animals? Cute dancing gal? Guess we find out together.

Drawing a bunch of Afterglow today became I just love her in this crop top hoodie.
The tiny drawings are referenced from pausing various videos of dancers. I wanna do a bunch more of these.

If you think the title of this show is "Cow Boys of Moo Mesa" you are wrong.
If you think it's "Wild West Cow Boys of Moo Mesa" you're still wrong.
C.O.W. is an acronym, so this horrible show's amazing full title is (inhales deeply)...Wild West Code of the West Boys of Moo Mesa.

Trying some shenanigans with a 2D rig "3D rotation". It's about 30 layers dynamically changing layer order over time + lots of vector point motion tweens of the shapes. It's not quite convincing yet but good for a first pass I would say. I want Hivehead performing more actions as the camera "pans".

Various boards for an animated short. That falling animation was just a little test!
The big wasp guy I designed back in college but I've never actually animated them. Better late then never!

Whaddup! I'm Spruce! You're probably wondering how I got into this situation...
(Just a clip I made during my work commutes. I used Callipeg and Procreate Dreams, and they worked really well together! Expect more!)

Nice argument. Unfortunately I have already depicted myself as the smug and confident diplodocus and you the naive parasaurolophus.

Been playing this cute JP-only SNES game and keep imagining what a 1998 English release of it would be.
The GamePro ad: in BEAKER'S BREAKOUT You're a FREAK OF NATURE escaping from the ILLEGAL SCIENCE LAB that created you. ABSORB the ACCELERGELS and INJECT them into blocks to defeat DR.ERLENMEYER!

We had to put our 17 year old cat down today and I feel like a part of me died with him. I'm being crushed by the grief. I loved this rude little man so much.
He got cuddlier the older he got, which for any of you that knew him might surprise you. I love you, Graham. What an awful year this is...

Trying some updates for these older characters of mine. Two entomologists, trying to make a successful documentary but always ending up crushed, burnt, stung, or just broke!

FYI for those stuck in the US like I am. It's not much but easy to participate and hopefully build towards longer ones that actually start stinging.

Making GREAT progress on Afterglow's 3D model! Just a little more weight paint jank to clean up.
I've found some promising tutorials on more advanced cel shading/painterly fx that I want to try to apply here too. She is really a test bed for #blender3D techniques.

In Homeward Bound 2, there's a scene where a dog-actor growls and her human actor VO threatens a dog with "Looking to get yourself fixed?!" Then the scene de-escalates.
Its pretty nuts (NPI) to realize that the male dog was about to get its balls bitten clean off. Just kids movie stuff.

Last one of my #reploid inspired robot designs. I think this guy is just the coolest.
He hosts a planetarium show and uses his lasers for nice reasons during the day. I imagine he sounds like Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Giancarlo Esposito. #animation #alligator #megamanx #oc
