Cappy | Freelance Artist 🎨COMMISSIONS: OPEN! I love to make up stories and draw cartoons! This is currently my only active social media. Been here since 2011.
This is a weirdly specific thing to ask but anybody know of some simple animation memes floating around? They can be old or new, I don't care. I kinda just wanna have an idea or excuse to practice some animation more and think making one would be kinda cool...
A drawing I did so I could participate in @artfight 's Sprout Fight prompts (featuring my OC, Lilly). Although the deadline is far over now, I may fiddle with the pallets and other themes for funsies.
Saw the @artfight tumblr put up this meme some time ago and I felt compelled to follow along! I've been playing art fight for years and, aside from missing last year, it's always been the highlight of my year. I'm always striving to improve myself artistically and I get so excited to give gifts to strangers and friends. Here's my Art Fight journey from 2016-2022! And looking forward to playing again in 2024!
Links and explanations to each piece under the cut:
First attack: I drew this during team tech vs team magic! I had heard of art fight from some friends, but I didn't really understand the concept and was busy with some other stuff. I threw in a last second drawing that year to a random character I found on the site. It was only afterwards when the game was over that I realized how fun art fight was, and made sure to put a lot of effort during team sun and moon!
Latest attack: A last hurrah drawing I did against my sibling and a friend, <3. I was doing a chain against my sibling that year and we went (surprisingly) far on it LOL (Personally my longest chain I think...)
Most time consuming: I'm not very familiar with animation, but I wanted to try my hand at an animated attack! This took me obnoxiously long due to lack of experience, but the result was fun!
Most points earned: I dunno how I made it through this attack (as it was my first "mass attack"), but it came through in the end!! I still have fond memories of this drawing and being able to ninja swipe a bunch of my friends all at once, hehehe...
Favorite attack: Most of my attacks have the consequence of either being rushed or succumbing to the passage of time. So despite my initial happiness with a few of them, over time I begin to see the flaws in my execution. For SOME reason, this attack is one of the few that have stood the test of time for me. I love the cartoonish flow and how silly it is, and I still regularly use it in my art samples!!!
... I got a random urge to PROPERLY rework my old world lore to fit in with the more recent world reworks I've been doing and suddenly out of nowhere reactivated my Ken and Emri brainrot. It's been over 10 years man...
SOME SUUUPER EARLY ITCHY CONCEPT DOODLES I NEVER POSTED HERE JHDJHDSJHS (including some before I finalized his design!). The bottom one is supposed to demonstrate how he feels being synchronized to time / the Time Core at the very beginning. (I expressed it kinda feels like this, with the speed-ups lining up with the hammer impacts and the slow downs being the period between swings). He eventually gets used to it, but the first few days / weeks are a lil rough on him.
SOME (SORTA) ART FIGHT ASSETS I DID RECENTLY IN ANTICIPATION FOR NEXT YEAR!! I'd like to get some more proper art depicting character dynamics that I like so they're easier to translate for people that want to attack them. I doubt I'm gonna add a ton of new characters this year, so I'm trying to focus on that when I draw my tried and tested old favorites. <3
Doodles of a reworked alternate universe version of Pent (actually based on his original concept), where he's the only son of a recently deceased villain. He tries to live up to his father's legacy, but his father did NOT want him to follow in these footsteps. Thankfully the Found Family changes that course (hence the last image).
He looks like he bites (... ok he probably sometimes bites), but he's actually very baby I swear.
I don't understand a bit what is the difference between Winter Stowaway AU and Shared Custody AU. Can you please tell me?
OK, SO, they're basically the same thing! I just consider one the more "official" name and the other kinda it's semi-official nickname.
The "Shared Custody" title came from a joke comment I made since I originally developed this AU with some friends (some of his design and story elements are part of their contributions). The version I draw / post is my interpretation of what could happen in his story since we thought it would be more fun to not have an "official" one.
I think my friend Crayon suggested "Winter Stowaway AU" as a name idea before I made the joke, and I personally liked it as the more "official" name since it actually has to do with his story (he's a stowaway into the traveling trio's adventure!).
A lot of my blog tags are for personal organization, and even if Winter Stowaway is the "official" name, I find the silly nickname endearing for obvious reasons… so I just tag with both! : D
