I Don't Know Why I'm Laughing-

I don't know why i'm laughing-

Someone: What's your favorite game about?

Me: In a sci-fi setting where it may or may not be the apocalypse, an AI is controlling an uncountable amount of robots that are processing humans and maintaining the environment. A woman meets this AI and decides to overthrow them. AI isn't happy. A handful or years later, a woman meets a spherical British AI, befriends him, brings him to the mainframe, and he takes over the entire place, much to former ruler's dismay

Other person: What's your favorite show about?

Other person: . . . Are they rela-

Me: they're completely unrelated.

I just finished playing both portals, adored them both, and decided to draw something! I had fun with the colors, but i feel like i could've come up with some more interesting composition? meh, i like it anyways. Fun to draw! I imagine myself redrawing it One day in the far future. (get it? joke!)

Two versions! One with and one without fancy lighting and stuff!

It's just a scene I imagined, with Amelia being roped into helping Samantha with carrying things around because, well, the cat doesn't have thumbs.

Is there a word for positive ranting? Because ima do that. A while ago, probably a few months, a made a little animatic. By little a mean minute long.

I have a habit of never finishing things, but lately i've been trying to break that habit. I start things then get distracted and do other things, or i get a decent way through them and then decide 'if i can't make it perfect i shouldn't make it at all'.

which is silly.

So i figured i'd never do anything with the animatic. Then a month later i made all the backgrounds because why not? I had fun making them, too. turns out snow is kind of fun to color.

Then i left it alone, then a month~ later i picked it up again and animated it all. I actually animated it! Then i carefully left it alone for a few days before coming back to render it.

I could go on a rant about rendering. At first a rendered all of the pieces in a few parts because i thought i could do transparent layers and separate effects on each layer, but blender didn't like that, so no.

So i had to re-render EVERYTHING and slap that together and render it, because for some reason i really had it planned to render everything in parts? Probably for effects and stuff but it still didn't work.

Anyways it took a few days, and i genuinely pondered how many people, like i had, stared at a screen in dismay solely because of compositing.

But i rendered everything and added in the effects i wanted, which was hard because i had to learn the basics of compositing and GOD it took so long to render! I just left my computer on and went to bed-

But i finished it! Sure it took months of on and off work but i did it! I finished something and i'm so proud of it. If i could, i'd hang it up on my wall, but alas, you can't capture the beauty of animation in a single frame.

Here it is, it's infinity train :)

So after reading this fic for a concerning amount of time, I decided to do something about it. I was going to leave a comment saying how amazing the story is in it's length and everything else, but i didn't know what to say exactly so I drew fanart instead!

I was going to draw more, and might in the future, but I figure I'll post these here before I forget, again.

A family photo and a random scene I found funny! :)
