Bigger Animatic

Part 1/3

Hey yall 🥹 I've been working on this animatic for a few months, mostly sitting on it. It's actually been really challenging me and I debated giving up on it for a while because my brain just keeps telling me it looks terrible and I'm doing it all for nothing (queue the depression spiral 😒) but... i at least want to post what I've successfully made... because it's still worth it, I think....?? I don't know. I struggle a LOT with being happy with my work, so... it's hard. Really hard. But I won't bore you with the details.

Hope you enjoy it anyway 🥹

Synopsis: Barnaby is being haunted by his own imagination and reality gem conflicting.

Ok, this is going to sound really crazy, but hear me out on this.

What if Fantoccio has some PTSD relating to theatre. Think about it. You’re alone for most of your childhood in an abandoned theater. Nobody to talk to. I don’t know a lot about the guy (other than I wanna snuggle him), but I do know that’d be pretty traumatizing.

Fantoccio was only eight when he was abandoned, correct? And now he’s 23. I’d assume he’s still mentally a child because of his isolation, but from I’ve seen in a lot of things (the one thing on my mind is the 8th birthday video for BBU), he’s rather mature.

When typing this I completely forgot what I was on about, so take this with a grain of salt.

I see the salt. I'm biting back the urge to add pepper.

Add the pepper, SonicPhobia. Do it.

Don't let your dreams be dreams

More OC stuff :3 she likes to dye her white feathers UwU

I like to think that if there's a time gem out there, Lacy has access to it. She's a resourceful sort, desiring to change something about her past that permanently impacted the course of her life. Spurred by regret? By loss? By vengeance? It's truly a mystery for this chipper magic artificer... but she's determined to learn how this thing works.

Little does she know, she won't like what's waiting for her.

Take Your Kid To Work Day

Take Your Kid To Work Day except your toddler is going through the "put random things in their mouth" stage, which spells bad news for a magic researcher...

Hihihi! I wanted to go all out with my graphic novel illustrations!! I'm very excited to be able to share this with you all, cuz I've been so burnt out for so long that it's only been a distant aspiration to return to this level of artwork!! I'm going to take it easy though and try not to push it (this has been bad in the past), but thank you all for helping me get to this point 🥹

I hope one day to work in a much healthier work environment and watch my burnout slowly heal. But for now... a little bit at a time.

I also wanted to thank @billiebustupofficial because very few things have helped inspire me enough to draw. I've been a fan for such a little amount of time, and yet it's helped me wonders. Thank you!

BBU 8th Anniversary

She wrote a beautiful piece for Little Bird and I wanted to add an illustration for it 🥹 we hope you enjoy it, I know I enjoyed her writing because she's very talented UwU Without further ado:

A Break Between Lectures

Some trans dad representation i was drawing the other day,,, just cuz it made me happy,,, (those new here, it's just a personal headcannon that Alivaby is FTM, and carried his girl :3 and it brings me comfort to draw seahorse papa Barnaby since one day I'm probably going to have kids that way too as a trans person. All about my own lil representation wants)

Important Notice

I've been debating on making this post since I didn't want to seem rude, but please don't actively seek me out on other platforms in some attempt to talk to me or get to know me (don't want to disclose the WHO of it because I don't think they mean harm), it's just a bit much and I don't really think it's really... appropriate? If you can't message me on my main account (here), there's a reason for that: we're strangers. So please don't seek out other methods of trying to get into my inboxes when there's already a boundary there... it's really uncomfortable.

Following that, if you don't get a response after your first request to be friends, please don't follow it with more messages and jump to another platform to get my attention. Mind you, I haven't disclosed these platform accounts on tumblr because they were more ideas I entertained and I'm not at all active on them. I entertained posting on them a while ago, but decided not to... because I feel safest and happiest just posting here and on bluesky.

The reason why I'm bringing this up is because in the distant past on a different account, I had made a series that got a bit too popular and when life got in the way and I stopped posting, people were spamming a really old account of mine on Instagram demanding an explanation or an update, and someone even found my personal social media with my name and family tied to it looking for answers. It was terrifying, as someone who values their privacy and distance from their content creation. So please please please don't do this. If you can't contact me, there's usually a reason for it. And if you're not sure, just ask! I'm an open book, I'll happily let you know.

I just want to add that I'm truly and sincerely thankful for all of the support you all have given me, it really has made a difference not just here, but in my life, and I wanted to be clear that I'm so grateful. This will not change my interactions here at all. Thank you for reading :)

I love how in your story Billie and Barnaby are completely chill with each other and meanwhile Aristotle's just:

Thank you that's very kind of you 🥺 I'm glad it can bring people as much joy as I get from making them. For the longest time, I only ever really had my partner to share my art with, and to have just an explosion of lovely, excitable people to share with has been such an enormous highlight for me. Thank you for being one of them :)
