Weekly post 27: Learning AnimeEffects! I've always wanted to try my hand at making those like... looping animations? So here we go! And I'm going to just yap about my progress here because I really just need to get this off my chest. Anyway, here's day one:

A screen recording of a WIP in the programme "AnimeEffects".
A gray humanoid creature in a green outfit sways side-to-side. There is a blink animation every so often.
Some parts of the GIF are still and need to be worked on before the animation is complete. A window to the left shows all the keyframes

A screen recording of a WIP in the programme "AnimeEffects". A gray humanoid creature blinks at the screen. To the right of the creature is a window showing all of the keyframes.

Weekly post 26: Continuing from last week, here are the other images I drew for a 48hr project. You all get absolutely no context aside from the fact that I didn't tell anyone that I was doing a Deltarune reference until they saw my art 😊 Brown hair guy belongs to @fwshie-fwshie.bsky.social #art

"Weekly" post 25: Double post for this week. Here's a piece I did for a 48hr project that I was really proud of! I did a few other pieces but they're a little more on the shit-post side so I'll post them together later UwU Yay for toxic cuteness! #art 💖 #catgirl 💖 #cute 💖 #digitalart

A green-haired cat girl smiles cutely at the camera with a speech bubble.
The whole image is covered in sparkles and follows a pastel aesthetic.

However, the speech bubble of the cat girl is pitch black and has a grayscale man inside it. The man is then trapped behind walls of text featuring dialogue highlighting the cat girl's toxic relationship with the man.

Hiya, could I please be added too?

A digital drawing of Himmel from Frieren sleeping on a field. He wears a blue flower crown surrounded by a few flowers.

A chibi-styled calico cat lying on a pile of stickers. As it cries, the words "Collect but never commit" are written behind it.

A woman (Name: April; Belongs to @MorganMeii) cries as she grabs the collar of a wide-grinning humanoid creature (Name: Mr Sauce; Belongs to me).
The smiling creature has no neck and spaghetti hair. A red liquid covers the ground. It is difficult to tell if it is blood or simply Mr Sauce's sauce.

A traditional ink drawing of Kou from Granblue Fantasy handing the viewer a christmas present. The words "Merry Christmas, Yuki!" are written next to him.
