Lil re-animate of that one silly dance animation going around (I think it's from some series called Blue Archive? I could be wrong on that) but with my tav Seiri
I can't remember the last time I did any animation stuff, it's 4am now lolol
Recent shitpost and a concept for a timeskip design I did last night, I keep forgetting to post on tumblr as much, maybe I could start uploading more sketches too?
Tried something different from my usual stuff, a redraw of Pierre August Cot's "Springtime" but with Astarion and my tav Seiri!
Genuinely I can't remember the last time I tried doing something like this, it's a bit rough and I have a LOT to learn, but it was interesting making myself go outside my comfort zone so much.
Almost didn't make it!! Wanted to do *something* for New Years. So here's to 2024, I can't guarantee how it'll go, but I can at least know there will be more Baldur's Gate 3, so it can't be too bad!!
Fun fact about my Tav Seiri, she has a MASSIVE sweet tooth, after weeks of foraging and camping in the wilds, once she gets to Baldur's Gate she takes the first chance she can to sneak off from the group to go spend all her money at the bakeries.
She tries her best not to get caught (what kind of image does it send seeing the group's "fearless leader" chomping down on desserts like a kid?) but unfortunately she is caught almost immediately.
I've simply decided that the gang DID get to party at a tavern after the final fight and before all the epilogues and I will remain delusional about this.
Recently finished my first run of bg3 and I'm so obsessed with this game it's insane. Tbh I really haven't drawn much the past like......4-5 years and I'm extremely rusty but somehow this game has dragged me out of that funk, at least a little. Also this is my first time drawing basically everyone in this except for Astarion and my Tav so I know it's a bit rough.
also because i feel like back to back posting, whose line moment that fit perfect for caprisun tav, might clean this up at some point, i literally did this in like 30mins just to get it out of my head
the brainrot is getting so bad its insane, i have a job with meetings and responsibilities and this is the only thing i think about

The only thing I’ve drawn in months and its her again, updated her design because I’ve been having a hard time vibing with the outfit I had her in before.Second pic is the line up of all her designs so far, I kept them all on the same canvas so I can see how much she changes :)
Also these are kinda rough sketches, may or may not clean this up in the future
Info dump about her and me overthinking her design
-----
Her name is Gummy (at least for now, not sure if I’ll change this later), she’s based on a Hawaiian bobtail squid, and she’s mainly nocturnal, during Splatfests she’s awake, excitable, and extremely quick; but during the day she has to be dragged out of bed to do anything. Her tentacles are really long because she doesn’t wake up until most businesses are closed (and she’s not going out during the day unless absolutely necessary). She’s also bioluminescent so her tentacles, eyes, and freckles glow in the dark, which makes her incredibly spooky to see if she’s walking at night sometimes. I wanted to make her designs for both during the night and day, her night fit is based on a gear set I’m building in game rn
So I was gonna wait until Splatoon 3's launch, but the direct got me so excited that I couldn't stand to wait any longer!!!
