scuffed iterator tutorial!
during this, I attempt to explain how to draw iterator puppets, keep in mind, this isn't a rulebook or anything to follow by heart, rather a reference for how things tend to work. unlike my previous tutorials, i made this one myself, so apologies if its not up to standard, i already hold my own grievances over it. (please trust me I'm usually good at this)
so this first section is going to be the full image, a step by step tutorial, but if its confusing, I'll try to explain it under.
Tumblr media
so the first thing I want to bring up, is in step 3. when I wrote that, I wanted to show how the marking would usually go on after the eyes, and I do that because I often mess up and don't leave enough room for the eyes if I draw the marking first.
Tumblr media
the next thing I want to bring up, is how I drew the body, and you might have heard of this before, but i break it up into shapes, and that is because it helps me understand how to go about drawing it in a 3D perspective, and it simplifies things to a manageable level (i get stressed easily, so this is important) ((I also forgot to mention this, but the antennae aren't based on anything specific, and can also be anything you want! it is your drawing after all! in this however, I used fivepebbles as a base, only because its the easiest to draw, and gets the point across))
Tumblr media
(don't mind me, snipping around the rest of the tutorial)
finally, and most importantly, how I draw fabrics or flowy stuff.
this one i actually learned from a clothing designer, although i don't think i implemented it as well as i had hoped here, it does get my, and her point across.
Tumblr media
when making that curve in fabric, you want to make a sort of wave. I find it easier to loosen my wrist when doing this, to get into a kind of flow, that way I go softer on upstrokes, and not as much on down strokes, giving the illusion of depth! (that little bubble as a separate image below)
Tumblr media
that i think should conclude the tutorial. please let me know if i missed anything (and i mean that!) or if there's anything else you want me to add. also feel free to send me asks for tutorials *you* want to see, as I'm running out of ideas fast!

youtube
I keep forgetting to like, put my animations up on here?? So here's this.
Youtube description copy and pasted below for easy access however,
While in the originally video this was directly before the story breakdown, I'll put this note here at the top instead.
Nothing here is romantic. This was in a period of time where the iterators were seen more commonly as siblings, and this was the headcanon that was used in the RP.
Sig and Moon are Pebbles older brother and sister. Pebbles is the second youngest in the local group in this AU.
Flight, Prince and Pebble's relationships are strictly platonic.
Found family was sort of the main theme of this AU and I ask that you please respect that when engaging with this post.
Rot world as an AU was created by @fivepebble (Mata).
Alright so for context. (Process+Art direction)
This video is based on an old rain world RP I was in back in 2019.
I started working on this in November of 2019 and kept working on it up until March 2020.
I decided to sit down and edit what I hadn't yet added in. (Which ultimately wasn't much.
Though I did need to re-edit the warehouse scene due to a glitch) and cut the video off at the final frame I'd actually completed.
As mentioned in the video, I had help from another artist by the name of Kraehe.
I had a lot of trouble sketching out my ideas and the perspective of some of the shots.
so Kraehe would help by providing sketches and redlines for the majority of the scenes here.
With how inexperienced I was at the time I don’t know how far this would’ve gotten If I hadn’t had the help.
The total frame count for this video was 172. (Partially due to me writing out lyrics instead of using the in program text tool)
The only animation I’ve made since that’s come as close is my part for the Pliocene MAP. In terms of art direction.
Light yellow represented any sort of significant scar. Be it emotional or physical. Yes this includes things like NSH's symbol and Princes eyes.
(I couldn't fit this in the youtube description. The context for this in RP was NSH originally had a third eye, but an ancient tore it out and tore his puppet out of his structure. It's a point of trauma and bitterness for him. Moons eyes being yellow were symbolic of her memory loss, and Prince's eyes and visor being yellow were symbolic of her ptsd.)
Story breakdown
Some foreshadowing shots of both the rot and the lizard that would later take Pebble’s arm.
- Global communications come back online.
-The pearl that Pebbles would write with instructions to himself post-disconnect. (As disconnecting from his structure caused him to lose all of his memories.)
-Pebbles with his new arm. Sort of just a general scene of self reflection.
-Moon pre-rescue with a random slugcat. Most likely survivor but It doesn’t really matter to the plot since the entire rp was post-survivor.
-Pebble’s arm post-disconnect. An Overseer sending this picture to the global communication was an in rp scene.
-Arch of Prince and Post-disconnect Pebbles. They're in a shelter together waiting out the rain. Pebbles is having a bad time
-Symbolic imagery of two of the ancients involved in the creation of the local group. "Mother" (As she was called in rp) was also involved in Arch of Prince's creation and is deceased by the time of the RPs plot. "Father" or Reserves as he was called, was not.
-After meeting up with Father, getting Moon out of Shoreline and Saving Pebbles from dying of Rot for a little while longer. The gang goes to investigate what might've happened to NSH. Who had a system failure due to in RP events.
At the time of this, a new character had joined the RP and was being generally menacing in the global chats. When the gang arrives they find aforementioned character, Wings in Flight, attempting to revive NSH.
-Father and Prince work together to fix NSH.
-Father offers to create a new arm for Pebbles as well. Pebbles agrees.
-Flashback to just after Pebble's disconnected from his structure and attempted to climb down the wall. He's been attacked by a white lizard who takes off his arm.
-General rot symbolism :tm: of Pebbles method of disconnection. Which involved using the rot to alter his puppet. (I forget the exact details
-Rot symbolism 2 but Pebbles actually did get rot tendrils after a scavenger stabbed him in the back earlier in rp.
-Family Reunion Between Pebbles and Big Sister Moon and Big brother Sig. (The lore in the RP was that all of the local group were siblings, and Pebbles was the second youngest.) Flight chillin.
Probably internally being sad bc all his local group/siblings are gone. (In hindsight Neither Krae nor I thought to like, look at how BIG a king vulture would be compared to an iterator puppet. Even a taller one like Flight.)
-Time skip. Encounter with a parasitic device that just ended up getting called buddy. New character in RP. Took control of Flights Puppet and caused him to attack the others. Pebbles defends his family. Realizes that something is going on and is yoinked by a vulture that the gang uses to escape after Flight manages to let go of him.
-Flight watches. Scene changes to a warehouse that Buddy wanted to go to for some reason (I do not remember why.) Scavenger slaughter occurred here.
-See in video text -Buddy is killed by Pebbles using an explosive spear. Flight got decapitated in the fight.
The gang does questionably ethical things to revive him. ect ect.
This doesn't cover the entirety of the RP, there were some other things that happened but this was sort of the big, main plot of it when we were most active in writing it.
A little silly, a little weird. But it's still special to me. Both the base game and this AU had some major impacts on my life and happy to finally share this after leaving it to just sit on my PC for three years.
