About time I updated my journal . . .

Sun Oct 25, 2009, 12:11 AM
Well, it's been a while. As you can see, I'm still working on the Animorphs smiley project on RAF, but I just keep forgetting to post what I've made there, here. I could say I'm forgetful, but really I'm just a lazy butt.

Visser Three is almost done, though, so he should be up here soon, given that I remember.

Next morphing sprite in line is David. Got the outline done, just need to color it and add actions. I already know what the actions are going to be, at least.

Oh, and I'm soon planning to re-do that generic male/female Andalite smiley I did a while back. It bothers me because it looks so much worse than all the other sprites I've done, because I was basically just doing it to show that I could. I wasn't really thinking about this becoming such a serious project at the time. So, in addition to making them much more detailed, I plan to make the male and female Andalites a little more different in appearance besides their color.

If there is interest, I can start putting outlines of my upcoming projects in my scraps folder. I haven't really been inspired to do that, because I'm lazy, but if there are enough people who would actually look at them, then I might start doing that.

Coming soon:
Visser Three

Outlines done:
David
Chee
Crayak
Leeran
Howler
Male/Female Andalite
Blade Ship
Bug Fighter
Dome Ship
Andalite Fighter
Dracon Beam
Elfangor in a mustang

hey, how's the next one going? the thread's been dead for a while, everything okay?
:icontransientsprite:
Yeah, I'm okay. Life's just been really crazy lately. Tests, papers, projects, presentations, fighting off a cold, etc. It may be a while before I can get back in the art groove again.

Pixel art is a little like trying to play connect the dots when you can only use 30, 60, and 90 degree angles.

God darn real life, it gets in the way of the good stuff. Want me to kidnap you and lock you up with a computer so you are forced to pay attention only to the Animorphs smileys? (jk. Sort of)

Oh my god. I just got really high on your Animorphs smileys. They're that good. I'm a bit of an insane fan and like to think that I've seen everything in this world that's Animorph related, and your smileys are one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Can't wait to see the rest. Efangor in a yellow mustang! Hah! That's just sheer happy in pixel form. Ever thought about doing Ax and a cinnabon, or Tobias stuck to a dolphin? Or a squirrel riding on top of an elephant? Or a gorilla driving?

i know! they're freaking awesome.
we're finishing up marco right now, trying to get the punch looking perfect.

Big Jim go smack? I can't wait to see it.

Thank you! I'm glad you like them so much! And oh my god those are such amazing ideas you have! I did already have an Ax/cinnabon one planned, but the others . . . oh man, Marco driving a car, that would be classic! I'm actually planning to do a 'humor' smiley for each animorph (Ax eating a cinnabon and Cassie hugging a tree were the only ones I'd thought of at the time), and Marco's is definitely now going to be him driving. I might use the Tobias idea, too. Thank you so much for the ideas!

You're welcome, keep up the good work and the tributes. Animorphs is so overlooked, we need more people giving it good publicity!
