STOP MOTION FELT
IN MY LITTLE PONY?
Can this show get any more awesome you guys I can’t even handle this I thought I was going to die at Smile Smile Smile but now asdjaksdjla.
This animated short turned out even better than I imagined when I first saw the trailer that John posted just over a year ago (and I had high hopes!) It is a lovingly crafted celebration of the power of books to enhance our lives, heal our wounds, and simply delight us over and over. Bravo!
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore (by Moonbot Studios)
I remember when this first came out me and my Swedish friend hunted for days to find a version to stow on our computers and gawp over the perfection for hours on end.
Watch it. Ten minutes of your life for a dose of pure elation.

I just really need this on my blog, alright? Alright.
I don’t normally add commentary, but.
According to the Art Book, this is Shigenori Soejima’s “true” style, and this is the most accurate depiction as to how he imagined Aigis.

Generic WIP blah
Had quite a few people asking me whether I draw clean from the off and whether I actually design the outfits I draw or just reference it all.
First off, I don’t think the finished line is even that clean! But no; I am a horribly messy, scribbly artist and everything looks like a pile of spaghetti while I’m working. Secondly, I loooove designing outfits, so of course I do the whole thing. I do use reference, always- it’s important in any piece of art and you learn how things work- but usually it’s only for structure ideas and getting information on how the materials react, the poses and patterns I do from scratch. The exceptions are specific outfits (like the Royal Guard uniform) but even then I usually cheat them to fit my style.
As an example here’s some scribbled notes for the DJ outfit for Mod’s dubstep post that prove how needlessly finicky I get with these things; you don’t even see Mod’s legs, but I planned out the shoes and trousers all the same, even how the belt and waistline sit. In animation you have to think about everything, even the stuff you don’t see, because you never know what the character is going to be doing and it all affects what’s on top of it anyway.
If you end up with a character turning in a way that shows their waistline, and you don’t know what it looks like, you have to go running about to ask someone to design it for you so it’s continuous for the next person who animates the same character. Same with socks, sleeves and cuffs, earrings… it’s endless. How a person dresses also says a lot about the character too, so it’s all there for a purpose.
Plus, it’s hella fun to do. :D
Gerald :3c
Did Spoon’s version and also tried a hand as a Razial version ((Which belong to onewonderfulbug!))
I CAN’T
I CANNOT
THERE IS NO CAPACITY TO CAN LEFT
So me and Sunshine were speculating about how Hubert the bat hawk and Gerald the flamingo would look humanized/as one of Those Guys so I did some silhouettes and sketches of Gerald, in particular. (Sunshine did some sketches of Hubert!)
I SMELL A SITCOM.dem Huberts <3
heeheehee. YES. I imagine a basic plot would go like
- Gerald does something
- Gerald causes trouble
- Hubert, while disgruntled, has to save the day??
also a few extra things that deviate from this formula

A collective of miscellany and mirth. Also sometimes I draw stuff.
