Is there a word for positive ranting? Because ima do that. A while ago, probably a few months, a made a little animatic. By little a mean minute long.
I have a habit of never finishing things, but lately i've been trying to break that habit. I start things then get distracted and do other things, or i get a decent way through them and then decide 'if i can't make it perfect i shouldn't make it at all'.
which is silly.
So i figured i'd never do anything with the animatic. Then a month later i made all the backgrounds because why not? I had fun making them, too. turns out snow is kind of fun to color.
Then i left it alone, then a month~ later i picked it up again and animated it all. I actually animated it! Then i carefully left it alone for a few days before coming back to render it.
I could go on a rant about rendering. At first a rendered all of the pieces in a few parts because i thought i could do transparent layers and separate effects on each layer, but blender didn't like that, so no.
So i had to re-render EVERYTHING and slap that together and render it, because for some reason i really had it planned to render everything in parts? Probably for effects and stuff but it still didn't work.
Anyways it took a few days, and i genuinely pondered how many people, like i had, stared at a screen in dismay solely because of compositing.
But i rendered everything and added in the effects i wanted, which was hard because i had to learn the basics of compositing and GOD it took so long to render! I just left my computer on and went to bed-
But i finished it! Sure it took months of on and off work but i did it! I finished something and i'm so proud of it. If i could, i'd hang it up on my wall, but alas, you can't capture the beauty of animation in a single frame.
Here it is, it's infinity train :)
I meant to post this a while ago! I spent a bit of time to make this as a base so I could draw my own stuff on top of it later.
So now other people can use it, too! (For free? credit maybe? idk? I never done anything like this before tbh)
I did so by taking the posters for books one and two, and simply doing my best to draw in what was missing. A lit of color picking and messing around with different brushes, but I'm proud of the results!
An illustration to go with my story :)
here's my fanfiction, where the three just have fun in some snowing car then go to sleep https://archiveofourown.org/works/47417848
it's fluff :)
I'm modeling the Infinity Train in blender! Hopefully to use it in animation projects later :)
It's going very good. I finished modeling it. Then I made the grave mistake of rigging it (almost done with that? I hope?) and now i'm UV unwrapping it! Yaaaay! (I'm in dismay!)
I'm super proud of how good i'm doing and I can't wait till it's done.
I'll try to make a video showing the rig soon but as with everything in life, no promises.
I just remembered I never posted this-- i meant to do that right after i finished it not months later lol
Here is my idea of what a Calamity Darcy could look like!
They're wireless! They have beetle wings! The calamity gem floats between their antlers.
They're some combination of Marcy's calamity form, Darcy's suit, and a beetle/scorpion.
I was originally going to add in some 'Onychocerus albitarsis', uh, beetle scorpion. I don't remember why I didn't. I remember thinking about adding white spots to the wings. Maybe the colors just didn't work out?
Anyways I like this design! :)
Also a version without the wings, and a version without the wings and fur and 'skirt thingy that was originally going to be a different pair of wings but i'm not sure what it even is anymore'.
Brain storming doodles I found
Tulip - A garlic-immune vampire! (A vampire that loves garlic, at that!) She's going to use her lack of reflection to freak someone out. (the blood is jam, I promise)
One-one - One, with the power of electrical tape. It's going to freak Amelia out so bad
Atticus - Mustard! or stinktaill? I'm just imagining what they looked like. Maybe they dressed like doggy knights! Or something? Part of the royal doggo guard?
This is genuinely the worst, most cursed thing i've ever drawn
A while ago, i thought it would be a fun idea to draw scenes from cool fanfics i've read! So i decided to do that. Here's my first one!
I got carried away with lighting, and i've never tried drawing a roller skating rink before (much less people skating) but this is as good as it's going to get!
Kez is telling Mikayla some funny story, Ryan is said something to Min-Gi, Blake is too busy watching Turnip, and Grace is simply happy.
The fanfic is 'Rolling with the Punches' by Msbadatnamingthings!
For the record, I think 'Rolling with the Punches' is a pretty good name for the story!
@msbadatnamingthings hope you like it! :)
I was playing Minecraft and couldn't find any Infinity train skins on Skindex so I made 2 Amelia skins! :D
This one
and
this one
<3
I think they're as close to perfect as I can get a minecraft skin <3
I haven't logged onto skindex in years and these were the first I made. I made them from scratch too!! I've come so far as an artist lol.
My other skins were just minor edits of other people's. But you gotta start from somewhere! I feel kinda nostalgic thinking about it.
Oh! And if anyone wants to edit these in anyway, go ahead! (I think I made her hair too dark or her pants the wrong color anyways.) Just credit me/send me a pic so i can admire it.
So I watched A Space Odyssey a bit ago. Personally, I enjoyed it! Mainly the discovery part of the movie, and I like the novels better. I've always liked books more than movies, to be fair, but the books explain whats going on quite nicely.
Anyways, I was thinking… Aliens building things trying to help humanity? Monolith? Train? Maybe? Wormholes? AIs? AU! Here's some doodles from that train of thought :P
A while ago I was coming up with idea of some infnity train portal au- I was calling it 'Apreture Train'. I got distracted by other stuff but I figured maybe i should at least post these drawings I did of it!
I had the general story down too! And a rough draft of chapter one? maybe i'll finish it one day! :)
Main blog - I animate and draw! And make music :)I have a YT channel! For animations and stuff:https://www.youtube.com/@JayyOkayyAnd music, just covers for now, but I just need to work up the courage to post my own stuff!:https://www.youtube.com/@Jay_Okay_but_Music
