Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Some more iterations on the martian creature. I removed the small keratin horn and extended the postorbital process (i think that's what it's called) to provide a little more protection over the brain case. Might add some muscle here to move the big ears around. 020
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 06/10/2026On some creature designs for the martian fauna in my space cartoon today. These fellas eat martian cave bugs up the size of a softball and mate in groups of three. They live in sprawling colonies along martian cliff sides and are themselves hunted by large badger like creatures. 050
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Inktober day 2. 'Relic" My toaster is ignoring the heat setting and has become erratic. Perhaps demonically possessed. 040
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I realize we're all supposed to hate inktober now, but I've been doing this for myself for like ten years so I'm doing it anyway. 060
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This is just cool. These are photgraphs of vibrational modes set up in a classical guitar soundboard captured via holographic techniques. If you play acoustic guitar, this is what you feel under your hands as you play. Arcane knowledge. Oooh. 031
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Not quite. I'm not sure which would be better, but I'm sticking with this one. 010
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I knew I rescued these books from the Alamogordo thrift store for a reason. Time for some light reading. 170
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Omg omg omg. You guys... if I am animating over physical models and macro zoom landscapes ... Then I can composite the ship over footage of a laser-illuminated physical hologram! The space scenes can be freakin' holograms! eeeeeeee! Nobody space 3D like mine. 350
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So I'm starting to explore style and proportion for my space cartoon. Pulled out an old fashion drawing book from the 1960s. What I'm thinking is that I'll try to go for a retro inspired cold war look. Ugh. Really weak in drawing people. But I'll get there (no ref used here). 230
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Okay palate cleanse for caturday. Enough of me. Here's Cloud. 080
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Okay so I fell asleep. I was going to animate a whole pencil test. But I did start sketching and will continue through the evening. I AM going to make this a cartoon. Honest. 040
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This was the first lil sketch I made of the cats-in-space toon back in 2022. Digging out all my old lil drawings and piecing it into some kinda hanna-barbera thing. 030
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Having a hard time capturing how beautiful the garnets are, but my birthday present new ring came today! 120
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I don't know if its the autumn air or the vibe online today, but I had to dig this out. From inktober years ago, I started developing this whole cats-in-space retro sci fi adventure. I feel like I need to animate it now. (As in immediately). Whaddya think? Should I? 010
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Enough blabbing from me. Morning sketch of your lawyer, the cat. 121
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The best two frames of the bats I see on my evening walks. They have some moves while flying, but look so clumsy flapping. 030
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Just messing around doodling with copic markers. I guess this is some kind of mustelid. Good to know my markers didn't dry out. 120
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The phone mangled the resolution, but I ran into this guy in the hills and he wanted something. Probably bus fare. 0172
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Morning sketch on my walk. Trying to get the hang of ink on toned paper. I get nervous when it's time to add the white highlights though. 030
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Okay, I had to fight every errand all week, but I got a solid first try at a chiroptera flap cycle in profile. I learned a lot about the anatomy while stumbling through this one, so I am looking forward to making more. #art #animation 080
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Another angle on the Questing Beast morning sketch. (Be kind, this is a difficult angle, especially without any reference.) The rear neck muscles are designed to bulk out to look more serpentine, like a cobra. 140
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Morning sketch. "The Questing Beast" on a cool August morning. (The creature is from Arthurian legend, design is by Terryl Whitlatch). 071
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Morning warm-up sketch, drawn without reference. I think I am getting better at placing the limbs, but I need to look at some real bats. 020
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Working through some papers towards a skeletal gesture rig for animating a flap cycle. I need all these damn chores to go away. This is taking too long. I'm loving the learning though. 030
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 05/08/2026It's a 45 but some of the tracks are still awesome at 33 1/3. This is such a good soundtrack. My trophy for finally beating the game. 010
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Continuing skeletal studies of chiroptera. Not scaled right, but I don't want to spend all day googling reference photos and never draw anything. Thought I'd share. 050
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I need to mine through all the crap on my desk and get back to animating and game design today. A rough summer for art, but here's some stuff I drew in the hotel lobby. (Ink and watercolor on toned paper.) I know it isn't much, but I was happy while drawing it. 110
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Studying Chiroptera anatomy for a future cartoon... 060
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Morning warm up sketching. I need to draw when I'm rested more. 140
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Made a friend. Definitely wants to help me animate. 010
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Good god that was a terrible idea. It was worth a try but I think it will die in the combat system development room with the other placeholder art. Colorful, though. 020
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 05/06/2026It's mind blowing how awesome it was that the toys came with these campy comics. I liked it as a kid, but as an adult these are the best things I kept from childhood. 150
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Finally working on a real character design. One way or another, this cartoon is happening. I will need a voice eventually. #art 050
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Kinda fell off uploading these, but if anybody was wondering what happened after page 2, here's page 3. Working on character sheets for these cats today. This show needs to be made and I've been messing around too much. 000
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Identities for the Jacobi elliptic functions go on and on. Interesting note: the Jacobi functions sit between the circular sines and cosines and the hyperbolic functions. A limit in either direction reduces to those. This is going to serve as the basis for my indie game quantum system. 000
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 19/04/2026I wanna make this thing. Research station from Starfield. Everybody needs a science station at home. There's no good reason that computers need to be tailored just for doomscrolling. This ain't even an advanced system! 050
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 16/04/2026This is a Gerber Scale. It's a stretchy ruler for measuring on physical paper graphs. It works better than most slop software and it works on almost any graph. Software companies let us down. Emabrace the old style. We can fix this world. 051
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Somewhere along the way I stopped being who I was and was washed downstream by the flood. But I was always some weird scientist. And as such, I am approaching game design and art from what I consider the fundamentals. Coming back to this book, for starters. (Please encourage me. I'm unstable.) 120
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Just ran across this old early drawing of the kitty cat team Sherlock Holmes crossover. This is probably from circa 2015. 000
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 29/03/2026In order for this to be accurate, the Technodrome would need a wing of seamstress foot soldiers making outfits for all the warriors. 010
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Okay I got the shot done. This is a weird sci-fi egg thing to try and work out an old school backlighting effect. Whaddya think? Feedback appreciated. #animation #indieanimation 151
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 27/03/2026This is a character sheet I did for one of the peacocks in an animated short I am working on. It was really my first time digitally painting anything. I think it came out good. I'll probably do better on the next one. #art #indieanimation 060
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Another tree in the real world that looks like I drew it for a video game. 020
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 23/03/2026I got the shot done and sent it off to my fx sorceress. Stay tuned for the final shot! Prolly this week. This is an effect test and if it works, backlighting unlocked. 010
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Need help. If have information on the whereabouts of this painting, please let me know. I want it back. I threw it out on the curb years ago and somebody took it home. But I miss it (I didn't paint it). 000
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Work in progress for a peacock character. I'm not great with digital painting but I thought this was a kinda cool draft. 110
Em Void 🏳️⚧️ @coherentvoid.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Y'all probably can't tell from this storyboard, but this is going to be an amazing shot once I make it a full animation. 020
