I hate it when people ask me what genre of music i listen to because i genuinely have no clue. It's called Music I Like genre. The best genre out there
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!
And remember… Technoblade never dies!
Frankenstein AU where the Creature, upon returning to seek terrible vengeance on Victor after realizing the tragic existence he's been forced into, takes a few days extra to actually, you know, observe Victor and see what he's like, to learn how best to enact his revenge. And he comes to the conclusion that, "Actually, I don't need to do anything, this idiot's going to ruin his own life without any outside interference, and I kinda wanna see how he does it."
Victor then proceeds to continue with his previously demonstrated levels of making good life choices, while now also constantly looking over his shoulder for his Creation and having the vapors at every little thing because oh noes, it's The Monster come back to Get Him-!!!
The Creature: (watching all this unfold through binoculars like it's a soap opera while sneaking in to help himself to Victor's larder and library when he feels like it, and also occasionally hiding small but vital objects, like Victor's keys or shaving blade, in weird spots in the house) Wow, it really does take an incredibly smart man to be quite this stupid, doesn't it?
Tumblr either thinks I’m a pregnant woman or a gay man based on the ads I’m getting. This…. This is odd.
I don’t understand the way things are sometimes…
For instance, peanut allergies.
In my elementary school we weren’t allowed to have peanut butter in our lunches because some kids were allergic, like my best friend. I’m pretty sure avoiding nuts for their sake has turned me off of them for life…
Earlier this year, a guy sat next to me and pulled like… an entire jar of peanut butter out of his bag, and all I could think was… he could have killed me. If the person I love most in this world was sitting here in my place, they might have had to go to the hospital. Where did the concern that people might get hurt because of your actions go?
I know this whole rant sounds stupid, but I think about it a lot.
Sooo…. I’ve been thinking on it, and so, in the original fairy tale the lindworm has a twin brother, and that slot could be taken up by moonjumper, who would be wanting to adopt bow (leading snatcher to get jealous and start up the main conflict) the witch who ultimately causes AND helps solve the whole giant dragon worm thing could be several people, but the ones I’ve narrowed it down to is Vanessa, Cooking Cat, or the Florist, but Vanessa could be well suited for one of the people the lindworm eats, cooking cat could very well suit the helpful maid, and the florist could be hat kid’s relative (aunt?) who she lived with before becoming prospective monster chow. Of course, all this is my own opinion, and if you’ve got something else I would be more than willing to listen!
If all of this made no sense to you, the people over at Overly Sarcastic Productions on YouTube did pretty good coverage on the Prince Lindworm myth, and there are also several good interpretations on ao3.
I think that a really cool au idea for a hat in time would be one based on the prince lindworm fairytale. Maybe not romantic, but there’s some dadcher potential… like it’s a story about a worm monster with no back legs who is secretly a prince who becomes human through the power of love/being hit with a really big stick, so I think that would be neat to do something with. I’m nowhere near talented enough to do anything with it though lol
Trans Dipper HC: Their parents are transphobic but Dipper was introducing himself as a boy from the start and Stan never even thought to question it, so when their parents called asking about their "daughters" he was like "SHIT DID I ALREADY LOSE ONE"
Nope. That, my friend, is a shapeshifter.
Kinda surprised how many different animals can be black and tan
