And here it is! My first fully completed Procreate Dreams animation. I used audio from one of Technoblade’s more famous rants during his Potato War series. I love Technoblade and miss him every day, so I hope that I was able to capture the magic of his energy in my animation.
I animated the roughs and drew the backgrounds in Procreate, but then I imported that into Dreams to do all the cleanup. It runs at 24 fps, but there’s a lot of variations to spice it up in there.
I wanted to really challenge myself so there’s a LOT going on in this short 9 second clip. There’s a camera move with multiple layers to achieve a subtle parallax scroll, there’s two lighting changes with one being a completely animated shadow layer, and there’s a warp effect on the curtains for when it opens and closes.
There’s still a lot that could be cleaned up. Some of the linework is a little more jittery than I would prefer, and the coloring process was awful. Every color was its own separate layer, which was exhausting to do. I really hope i can figure out a faster and easier way to do the coloring process because that took me over a week to complete! Yikes!
Overall I’m extremely proud of my work here. I’ve been working on this 9 second clip since Dreams released and I really wanted to showcase to everyone just how powerful Dreams is. I know a lot of people were complaining about it when it released and I wanted to do something to help reorient people’s expectations. I genuinely cannot believe that I did all of this on my iPad!
If anyone has any questions or would like to see a breakdown of this animation, please feel free to contact me!
Realized it's been awhile since I've done a gratitude post. They really help me focus on finding good things especially when it seems like everything is going not so great. It's not about toxic positivity but just realizing that there is always something good happening even if it's tiny. Really helps with my overall anxiety levels and they've been out of control lately.
Feeling the weight lift right off me, and my resting heart rate drop three points, after a conversation with the Eldest Spawn. What could have been really difficult turned out really beautiful.
Playing Minecraft with the TACO for the first time in awhile. Their building skills have just exploded. So beautiful and creative.
Typing up a letter to my grandma then handwriting it. I really like handwriting letters but find it frustrating because I end up writing the letter over and over trying to get the thoughts out in a pleasant manner. Realized that I can type up the letter first which is much less frustrating. Such a weird thing to stumble on but at least I found a workaround for my weird self.
is herobrine behavior/lore not common knowledge anymore .... has the world really forgotten about the 2x2 tunnels .. trees with their leaves all gone ... the sand pyramids in the ocean ... the herobrine shrine that would apparently summon him ... the lost to time brocraft hoax livestream that further popularized herobrine as a concept (of which herobrine was just a painting from a texture pack, later removed to which the streamer would continue to act freaked out until the end) .. the original forum post from sometime in august 2010 that detailed encounters with a pseudo-player in the distance on a singleplayer world which included this screenshot
does anyone even care at all. about a herobrine so small
I desperately hope that when the Qsmp opens back up and Philza logs in. He spawns on a boat or on Egg Island and it's revealed Richas and Pomme fucking kidnapped him when the Feds weren't looking. PLEASE it'd be so funny. Phil doesn't even have time to be worried about his kids being in Fed custody cause he got kidnapped onto a rescue mission
I LOVE TALLULAH AND CHAYANNE SO MUCH YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
THEY MEAN THE ABSOLUTE WORLD TO ME
I Know that because the qsmp is like a daily thing I have to get better at drawing quickly because this was relevant yesterday and something different is relevant today and UGHH but like I think this fanart is cute. So I hope at least someone will like it
