LoS Lucky Loading Loop

Work and Health didn't get in the way so i was able to work on this a bit yesterday. I'm really hoping 2023 will be more fruitful but I won't name anything specific as I don't want to jinx it. (Again... :/)Also, the Actual Video Files are in the zip, went with a gif preview instead of an image preview this time because I wanted to test the export abilities of the moho 13 update. I still may stick to doing frame by frame in CSP, because it's more streamlined but puppet animation (now that the export settings aren't comple...

Last Photos of the Year

TL:DR - Thanks for the support, a lot has happened but things are getting better, hopefully for all of us. :3Happy Holidays everyone. I forgot to upload these when they where made due to things getting busy but wanted to make sure they where uploaded before the end of the year. Per doctors orders and roommates insisting, i have been trying to take a bit of a break from large projects, both online and off. However, I should be back at full sometime in January and in the meantime I'll be focusing on sketch works and improving my fundamental a...

More Vintage Tests

Welp, the over night study will be in a day or two so If you don't hear from me in a while, that's probably why. But I wanted to wish everyone a happy holidays and hopes that despite everything happening in the world, things will go well for you all.

Vintage Test for Offline project

Was working on making something look old and dirty but got bored so began doodling and playing with old photos while working on it. As such, Imma upload it as a WIP.However, I think I nailed the Old Dirty Poloid look. Looks just like some of the crusty photo's i'd peel off the counters in the storage room at grandma's house as a kid. I prefer the ones with rouge, as the frame isn't quite as dingy but the ref i was given looked SUPER dirty so went with a more yellow and dirty grime.I did end up making a more modern version based ...

Ami - Test Painting

Winter has made things really busy but I also managed to do a quick painting to play with some of Ami's Colors for more refined stuff in the future.

Obscura - 3BS Concept

"A parasitic camera in your wrist. Just point and shoot and the instant film grows right out of the back of your hand. Why carry what you can integrate into your body?" - Doctor Nilin Fect.

Happy Accidents - Rouge

I missed doing pin up stuff and sequential stuff. Full Animations are fun but I enjoyed making this and I think it shows, even if it was a layout test.I just had fun with the Background since youtube auto played bob ross and honestly, it was refreshing to have his "happy accidents" mindset while working instead of my usual panic and overly redoing things all the time mindset.My dad used to watch him when I was young, before stuff happened that'd split the family, and it brought a familiar and calming happiness that I rarely feel dur...

Rouge - 3bS Layout Test

Since the first 3 are more or less done, here's the Alpha channel & temporary BG Variants of the pin ups. normally i prefer to wait until everything is finished but I'm realizing that if I keep pushing stuff back to make it perfect it'll never get done. I'd rather upload stuff that I at least thinks has some potential for fun and entertainment rather than never upload anything because I'm afraid it's not where it "needs to be".I'm thinking for digital, dark or black backgrounds and for print, the opposite (or...

Card Layout WIP & Health Update

I finally got approved for an overnight study to figure out what's going on with me and while I go to be with a sinus infection, I'm still going to try to pick back up on production.As for the card concept, Was doing business cards for offline reasons and after looking into printing options & I figured I'd wip something up from a sketch sequence that never got finished but ended up coloring three of the pics in the process.I think It turned out pretty good and I rarely see square cards but if i ever get the chance to print something...

2023 Commission Booklet Preview - (NOT OPEN, Everything listed may change)

You can probably tell by the color scheme that this was supposed to be done by Halloween but as I'm still not open for commissions due to health reasons, I decided to push the release back to sometime in the first few weeks of 2023. But I think the booklet could also serve as a nice ref guide for expansion and other stuff so I went ahead and finished it. (16 Page PDF & Images in Zip File)I may open for commissions for pin ups if I need some emergency funds but right now I think focusing on my health and usual projects should be priority. al...

Thanksgiving Paintings

Trying to get out of this health funk, thank y'all for hanging in there. Haven't really been able to work on really large projects but I figured a couple of renders would be nice to share for the holidays (More in the Zip). I hope everyone across this little globe of ours are doing their best to stay healthy, happy & hopeful out there.

Doodle Dump - 2022-10-25

A bunch of random roughs from a messy folder that I'm cleaning out.

Sally - B Movie Poster Zip

Rouge - Warm up Studies

Just some small warm up thumbnails that I thought where neat.

WARNING - HORROR & BURSTING!: Splorch Video

Originally I just wanted a simple BG, but since I was struggling to learn the audio stuff I needed with random videos, I figured it would be better to learn using an animation. again, it felt it would be a nice contrast video from the pumpkin hill rouge video for those that wanted something a bit darker and more horror oriented for this Halloween.But I'm gonna get back to more cute and toony stuff after this, I feel like I'm lacking in that department. maybe I'll try drawing more cute oriented spooks for this spooky season. Honestly...

WARNING - HORROR & BURSTING!: Splorch - Image & Time lapse

To contrast the bubbly rouge expansion set, I wanted to do something that was geared more towards horror for the season as well.

Rouge - Full Pumpkin Pump Loop

Just in case some folks wanted the full thing. It is pumpkin hill season after all. (This took so long to upload, lol, smh. Shorter vids might be the way to go due to how far out in the sticks I am.)

Rouge - Pumpkin Pump -PT1

The Short versions of the animation loop both in gif and mp4 format within the zip. This was mostly to hold folks over in between larger projects and to give me something to play with in da vinci since I'm still learning the software.Originally I had the loop with pumpkin hill playing in full just because I was feeling the song, but the full render was very large, so decided to shorten the loop to save space. However, if the file isn't too large, I'll upload that one too incase someone just wants to hear the full pumpkin hill for so...

Pop - Rough Thumbnail Storyboard

There isn't a lot a movement, as i focused on the simpler aspects like the ui and just getting a full concept down first, instead of fully rendering each part at a time like i was doing for donut party and i think the storyboard is better for it. I now know all the timing and transitions I want to hit so when the actual animations are done, i can replace the storyboard clips.I think i'll handle it like drawn works, Script, Thumbnail Roughs, Rough Sketches, Final Sketches, Painting, Animating, then Audio & Compiling.

Rouge Pop Preview Cells & Donut party update.

Tl:DR - A horror themed Pop animation is coming first as I'm using it to learn to make donut party correctly, as the pop poster and comic was done in a rough style for the most part, meaning i can practice animation without having to make full rigs.Long versionSince Donut Party was to to celebrate the on YouTube and since spooky season is more or less here, I decided I needed a simpler animation to test some more functions on as donut party is a bit more complex and is going to take longer to create final renders for because of that.So I we...

3B'S More Concept work

I personally prefer the lime green color changes as it feels more lewd-toon or horror lite to me. red is cool, but it feels a bit more intense than I had originally planned. These where mostly just notes and animation tests.

Toon "Burst" Concepts

The different "burst" types can be paired with any expansion type but I wanted to list which ones i thought would fit with which expansion the best, though i only used belly expansion & Tatiana for the examples.Not to get super technical, but having this ref gives me an easy transition reference from expanded form to new transformed state. think like the Chrysalid's from resident evil 6, but instead of it always being a flame transformation, it would use different elements and effects. Which In turn will make transformation scenes a...

Rouge Boom? Animation Loop

Yea so the final real animation is going to take a while and I still need to finish other stuff, but i figured I could animate one of the scrapped sketches that was removed after the script was actually being written out. I also included a video version without the BRB text for those that would maybe want that one instead.

Donut Party - WIP - Acts 0-2 Video Test

This is just a teaser & I have 6 more shots i have to make after the chomp transition, but expect more rouge, bigger bellies and more hexagons are the bestagons doughnuts.EDIT: Forgot to attach the File! My Bad! :P

Rough Rouge Expansion Script

Nothing is set and stones and plans may change but i thought the outline was at least interesting enough to share, even if I don't end up making it exactly how it was planned or end up having to cancel and making something else due to health.I'm not a writer, but writing before doing sequential pieces helps me plan stuff out a lot better, as I'm more concerned about visualizing what I want to make before hand than making a literary piece but having a script to refer back to helps me keep up with the images i see in my mind and figur...

Rouge - LoS Style

Saw that we passed 700 subs on youtube a while ago and had been bouncing back and forth on what i should do to celebrate but since any 3B'S animations are a long ways away, I figured I could do up somethin' featuring rouge. I miss drawing her and it'll get me a chance to test out the new animation script layout without me having to stress about not getting it perfect the first time around.But it's terribly late and I gotta work in the morning, so y'all take care of your selves, don't let folks online rustle your jimmies ...

3B'S Character Update

The last of the 13 Vicious Venom Vixens are done. now that the references for the V3 Units are finished, I can start taking scripts and trying to make animations.I don't know how long stuff will take but i feel better working on it now that I've finished the refs and started centering on a primary concept. think RE4 for ps2 but more lewd-body horror than zombie body horror. like a Parody of sorts. the next few concepts will probably be more focused on locations and world building, specifically the Sol Islands that border the Coraline Co...

More Character Previews - V3 Experiment line

Just a quick update on the 3B'S stuff.While I want the V3 Line of characters and their rebel counterparts to be mostly canine like, I plan on having the Metals of Antiquity line & Haleigh Hazmat being H.A.Z.M.A.T robots piloted by human hosts that where slime-a-fied during the various experiments, the Elites, enforcers and civilians being mostly human say for some minor mutations, dr.nilin fect is up in the air at the moment but they'll be humanoid-ish with more body horror themes.As for nayiba & deprava, they will keep their bandigal i...

Quick Update - 3B'S & Bandigalz color palettes

Still working on stuff and dealing with irl matters, But 3B'S stuff is still in the works. it's going slowly due to being sick but i'm doing my best and while the roughs will be using the same body type, after I get a general look down for each of the Galz then i'll vary up the body types a bit more like I did with the Bandigalz.Speaking of which, I do still plan on having the bandigalz show up from time to time as like a special thing with them visiting the mainland and islands the story takes place in, but i genuinely want to ...

Amy Rose - AOSTH - Parallax Scroll Test

Still trying to get used to animating only in clip studio, figured I'd try something that I couldn't get to work in moho and I think it turned out alright and it took just as long as a typical animation loop in moho so I think I'm adjusting.There are a few things that I think moho handles better though namely auto tweens functions like bounce, elastic, noisy, & ectara but inbetweening by hand isn't that much more difficult & I think it turned out better for it. Also, being able to improvise and redraw stuff on the fly without ha...
