Doodles from Ep 51 that are uninteresting to look at because they’re on a white background‼️

Hi tumblr I haven't posted art in a billion decades

I've seen some "what if scam and jodie did raise hermie and they were just a happy couple" posts and as the number one scam/jodie lover, here's a doodle

why am i getting 2 people in the same week texting me their dick thinking im some girl named anna

jason beekeper statham you are so so terrible at being a movie but so so good at channeling the incredibly narrow niche of indulgent fantasy wherein arrogant tech bros get karmic justice beaten into them through sheer physical violence. one even tried to plead for his life by offering up an nft collection. truly transcendent filmmaking. biblical levels of schadenfreude

how do you animate? ive always wanted to but idk where to start, any advice? love your art btw

thank you!! i Love encouraging people to learn to animate it seems daunting at first but once you get the hang of the basics you can basically do anything

i Started learning animation by not even animating, i just would rewatch all the original animaniacs skits animated by tokyo movie shinsha over and over again and go through them frame by frame to study the timing and movement on any shots i liked, timing is probably the Most important part of animation and a lot of it genuinely just comes down to intuition, so it's good to get into the habit of studying any animation you like frame by frame, i Still do this all the time [usually just for fun but also to use as actual tangible motion reference in whatever i'm working on, for example i learned to animate lightning effects from hunter X hunter and i learned to animate floaty bouncy movements from perfect blue]

BUT i'm getting ahead of myself, basically it's good to study animation you like before jumping right into actually animating, but that won't do you any good if you don't understand the fundamentals!! this also gives me an excuse to do a warmup for once which i usually skimp out on [<-hack fraud]

the first thing ANY animation class will teach you is The Dreaded Bouncing Ball [<-i actually like animating balls][<-intentional euphemism], because it's both simple And teaches you really essential basic animation skills such as A) motion, in general B) timing C) how timing sheets basically work, and occasionally D) squash&stretch!

you'll sometimes see animators draw charts with a bunch of lines off in the corner of a page, that's basically an old-timey timing sheet! each dash on the line indicates how many frames for a particular movement; for example, the top ball bounce has more frames bunched up at the top where it moves slowly, less frames when it's moving fast

if every motion you animate uses the same number of frames to do any movement, it'll look weird, because nothing in real life typically moves like that. you can demonstrate this in real life by just moving your hand in front of your face from one side to the other really fast; you won't see it in the middle, because that's where it's moving the fastest. this is basically where the principles for smear frames comes from!

the second thing they teach you in animation school is flour sacks so really animation is just all about nothin but balls and sacks

but the flour sack exercise is slightly more complicated so my advice for Getting STarted really ends here. once you have the hang of bouncing balls, you can apply those principles to things like character animation; some of the first "character animation" type things i ever animated when i was first learning were just really quick expression changes and flinching. this also teaches you about anticipation and what richard williams [author of the animator's survival kit highly recommend seeking out a PDF of that, he also was animation director on who framed roger rabbit and he made thief&the cobbler, he also animated some sequences on the raggedy ann&andy movie] calls Takes&Accents

this is a Really Really simple way to get started on character animation, this is only four frames! a lot of really bouncy-looking anime tend to animate their expressions pretty much exactly like this. you can always add more frames to make it smoother or more expressive, sometimes you'll also see an "anticipate up" frame before the "anticipate down", but remember the Timing is key so if you're adding more frames, try not to shift the timing too much or it might look awkward

OK i have spend like two hours typing this up instead of actually working on what i was supposed to today LOL i hope this helped at all if you have any more questions ever feel free to ask i Love talking about animation

OH ONE MORE THING!!!! i started learning animation in adobe animate [the software that was formerly Flash] but it SUCKS!!!! DON'T USE ADOBE ANIMATE!!!! i currently use a pirated copy of toonboom harmony which is THE industry standard 2D animation software and also just the best art program i have ever used in general, but it is CRAZY expensive that's why i pirated you can also invest in a perpetual license for clip studio paint pro or EX, but pro only lets you use 24 frames Total on a timeline and EX is like two hundred somethin dollars, OR i've heard decent things about procreate dreams? which is a mobile app IDK if it has a desktop version but i think it's only like twenty bucks

OK good luck have fun everyone please enjoy animating

Everytime someone says I'm wasting what god gave me I grin and say good

Hey if anyone wants to check out Moving Pictures Redrawn [a fan-made remake of the first chapter of BATIM that Mike n Meatly may have ordered to be taken down? It's unsure at the moment] Guess who downloaded a copy before they did that~

I'm surprised so many people seem to be taking "It's nothing personal" as meaning Hermie never cared, and not as him saying that taking the costume is unrelated to how he feels about Normal.

Finally finished this (i have a matching mark likely one but i don't want to color it so idk if i will ever post that) updated my Scam likely design a bit (im still not so sure on the colors in his suit but i like the glitter)

someone tried to scam my dad out of some money on whatsapp, "hey dad I lost my phone, can you send me some money it's an emergency etc", standard stuff, now my dad tried calling me while I was in the shower so this convo dragged on for longer than it should have, but what gets me is that this scammer at some point flat-out asked for money to buy "an iPhone 14 pro max on sale at 993€", which is hilariously cheeky, but also if you know anything about me at all you'd know I would NOT say that. I've never owned an iPhone in my life, I've never expressed a desire to get one, I hang onto my smartphones until they no longer function, and have to be begged to accept money from my parents or even admit to wanting any earthly possessions around Christmas because "I don't need anything really". You'd think my father, who's known me for over 30 years, would immediately realise he wasn't texting his dear daughter. what he said instead was "for that price we can get you a 512 GB one"

so i’ve been watching jojo’s bizarre adventure and i think i’ve figured out the source of all their powers

Normal peppino: Oh, I-a really don't want to-a fight, I have a business to-a run!

Pony peppino:

KILL MAIM BURN

LMAO

to be fair though i think both of them are both of these. idealy they don't want to fight people because they have a business to run, but push come to shove, if their business is threatened they WILL kill for it

in this essay this will serve as the basis as for why pony peppino absolutely despises the flim flam brothers

How are we having "lowest in a decade" unemployment rates yet literally over half of who I know, and even myself, for a very long time literally have been unable to find jobs.

Like. How are these equating because last I checked no motherfucker is hiring out here despite the signs

I love how Bob said that the difference between Jimmy and Saul wasn't conning and fast talking. That's all Jimmy, he says, he's been doing that since he was a kid. The difference is that Saul is when he became completely aware of all the consequences and decided not to care.

Having so many thoughts about papyrus and how the fandom at large doesn’t get him. If you even care
