I’m In Tears… Look At Her…

pumpkitten :>

You can see hus tail!

having one of those executive function days where everything is too many steps

Rate different bats.

…i will do it for 4 dollars

ok but holy fuck look at this little thing

Don't know how many hours I spent animating this but it feels like it took years off my life :)✨

I'd also like to share just how rough my boards were for this. I'd done this bit awhile ago so I completely forgot how much I was winging it lol

Behold the pocket-sized western pygmy possum! (Cercartetus concinnus). One of the world’s smallest possums, this species typically weighs just 0.5 oz (14 g)—the size of an AA battery. This dainty marsupial is a nectarivore, meaning that its diet consists primarily of plant nectar. It inhabits treetops in forests throughout parts of Australia, using its long prehensile tail like a fifth limb as it moves from branch to branch.

thinking about creatures.

do you know what slope intercept form is and can you tell me please math is hard :{

yeah sure, so slope intercept form (sometimes called “a linear equation”) is simply [y = mx + b], and it is basically just one way of mathematically condensing all the information you need to generate an infinitely-long straight line

y and x represent the y and x axes of the graph, and aren’t ever going to change, really. you could do [x = my + b], too, but no one really does that because it just overcomplicates things. so, for the most part, just ignore x and y. they’re just variables.

m indicates the slope, or steepness, of the line. so if m is 3, then for every 1 unit you move right (x-ward) you’d also move 3 units up (y-ward). larger m values indicate steeper lines. a negative m value indicates the line slopes downwards to the right

b is the y-intercept: where your line intersects with [x = 0]. this basically just shifts the entire line up or down on the y-axis, which is necessary for figuring out where the line actually is in 2d space

get some graph paper and a ruler and practice making some lines using this formula, changing the m and b values to whatever you like. you should be able to grasp it pretty quickly with this hands-on approach. good luck in your studies!

sorry
