Askbox Coagulation #16

I am slow at answering asks. This is a small pile of asks, the rest I’ve gotten in the recent-ish timeframe were all answered privately.

Hi Steel! So I heard you've moved now, and I was wondering.., If I were to send you something, what address should I send it too? I found your resume with an address last month, but now knowing that you've moved///....

Hm... I wish you had asked me this off anon because I don’t feel comfortable putting my home address out there in the open for lots of people to see. I do indeed have a resume that lists my address ( for career purposes), but it’s currently outdated- so I will need to update that. Thanks for reminding me! I will see to updating that soon.

Can Magnus do cool things with snow? Considering that snow is frozen liquid.

Yup! He spawned an entire snow-covered Christmas 'tree’ out of light and snow, in the last comic I made of him.. if you want to know what else he can do with it, he can do similar things as he can with soldified light. A few examples including making ice sculptures or stairs, freezing over things... Instant ice cream?

How long does it take to finish an art piece? If possible, list all kinds that you seem to do.

Depends on how focused I am/how detail the art is? I’ll try my best to list what I can do. I dunno why people are interested in my speed because I’m slow in terms of posting any form of art.

Art Speeds (approximate)

Pixel Art. Time is variable depending on details, animated or not, etc. 10min-1 hour

Comics. depending on details again, 20min for sketch comic up to 5 hours for full color/polish.

Digital Paintings/Illustrations. 30 min-1 hour for simple character/simple BG, 5 hours-16 hours for anything above and beyond that depending on detail

Hand-Drawn 2D Animation. Several hours for a short clip. Full color animation for 1 minute will probably take me a week or two.

Video Compositing (assuming images are ready), several hours to a day or two.

3D Model. depends on what I’m modelling. A vehicle will probably take anywhere from 1-3 hours. Architecture also depends on exterior or interior. Several hours. Characters is relatively untouched (allergic) territory for me, so I dunno. 

3D Animation. a semi-complex short will probably take 1 -3 days to piece and render together? (this is assuming the model is rigged and everything is set up, like lighting and environment ) 

Hope this satisfies your curiousity...

Anonymous said: As a curious reader of your webcomic I was wondering why Galvan has white bangs on most of your tumblr works?

It will be explained, don’t worry. You will find out later in the comic! (When I continue it, sigh.) 

Yeah if you haven’t seen “Kung Fu Hustle”, stop whatever you’re doing and go watch that shit.

YEAHHH

Late to the party but here is my contribution to the objectheadzine. This might get a bit more tweaking before the final print, but so far it’s not too bad!

anon hate in a nutshell 

Thingy for objecthead zine;;

What truly can be defined as reality as we know it? 

Perceptions are different, from person to person, from species to species, from entity to entity, experienced so differently, so intricately, that it can never be replicated.

"I have to seek the truth.”
