I Was Listening To Miracle Musical Again, And Remembered I Did An Animatic For The Mind Electric. Its

I was listening to Miracle Musical again, and remembered I did an animatic for The Mind Electric. It’s quite old (a year or 2?) and upon looking over it and revising it, there are some continuity mistakes. BUT! I more or less finished it a bit ago and am still quite proud of it and wanted to to post it. So here it is!

1, 8, and 18 for the asks~!

1: Favorite color to work with

Never really thought about it before! I don’t think I actually have a specific color (maybe greens or reds, but I’m not sure those aren’t just often-used as opposed to well-liked), but the eyestrain, bright yellow/red/teal/blue palette definitely fits the bill, it’s Very fun to use. Gold’s fun to render, too.

8: Show some art from 1-2 years ago

Boye. 1-2 years is a large time frame. I’m taking it to mean anything between one and two years ago, which pretty much lands everything in 2021. I’m not sure if this was supposed to be pieces I actually still like or an accurate representation of that year, I’ll choose the first, as I wouldn’t consider most of it terribly interesting.

Feb 18 - one of my very few lineless pieces, for a person I engaged in frequent art trades with

Sep 4 - yeah we sure are gonna skip seven months, here’s one of the first times I used a non-black color for shading/lineart: a beloved older OC, mosa :]

Sep 28 - A cropped screenshot from a time I tried pixel art again. Surprisingly, it wasn’t connected to any media or world of mine, I just had an idea for an animation (...that did become the basis for a lesser fictional world). Unfortunately the file’s autosave was overwritten and it wasn’t finished, so a couple screenshots and a video of my progress are all that remain of it

18: How long have I been drawing? When did I begin to call myself an artist?

Funny thing is I was just wondering about that. I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, I've had long phases of experimenting with clay and origami and pipe cleaners, five years ago I made an art folder for school that was so filled by my various drawings and doodles it's now two inches thick (I carried it around with me everywhere, no matter the circumstance), four years ago I added pixel art to the menagerie, and yet I only actually considered myself an artist two years ago. That was when I was gifted an old art tablet, and thus began what I've previously described as a personal renaissance, as I was allowed access to tools I never used before, diversified and improved, forgot everything I thought I knew about art to learn it again. Fun times.

[Start ID. A drawing of a Hollow Knight vessel with a blue cloak and pink ruff, Mimic, on a dark blue canvas. They’re standing straight in the center of a leafy patch, lifting one arm to gaze contentedly at the butterfly-like Lifeblood creature perched on their hand. They seem rather peaceful. End ID]

DIDN'T REALIZE YOU SAID CHRISTMAS EVE AND NOT TODAY but I hope yesterday wasn't terrible and that this might serve as more than a distraction :)

Merry crimus if you celebrate it, and a good day to you if not!
