DnD stat sheet of companion creatures Astraea & Zodiac for Apollo Karas! 💫🌌 Thank you for supporting artists! :D #DnD #charactersheet #statsheet

Colour scripts vs final comic pages :) I think my biggest artsy-win here was learning how to confidently colour pick for BGs without relying on layer blending modes. Having full control over colour & saturation (and the absence of them) was one of my main goals when starting 🧡

Passing (15/15) A mini comic about when best friends pass on, the passing of time, and the recovery of passing through. ---- One day we'll meet again :')

Passing (14/15) A mini comic about when best friends pass on, the passing of time, and the recovery of passing through. ---- "For the nine years of joy, comfort, teaching moments, growth, wonder, and laughter you've brought me, thank you."

Passing (13/15) A mini comic about when best friends pass on, the passing of time, and the recovery of passing through. ---- "I come to agree with a phrase I used to resent: it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. We were strangers once too, you and I."

📽️🎞️Behind-The-Scenes 5/5! Key pose drafts, inbetweens, clean up, and compositing. Rawr! That wraps up the 2D animated cutscenes I made for @neomesopost.bsky.social 's 2nd Stamp Short! 🎨🖌️Looking for an animation of your own or need a teammate? Give me a poke! :D www.faeriedragonstudios.ca

Passing (12/15) A mini comic about when best friends pass on, the passing of time, and the recovery of passing through. ---- "I find myself adjusting to a new routine. I'm not who I was before nature called you back, but I don't think that's a terrible thing, either."

📽️🎞️Behind-the-scenes 4/5 for Neo-Meso Post! The death glare...😨 📝Low movement scenes like these are a good way to keep indie costs down! Working smart!✨ I could skip the rough animation stage and jump right into clean up & compositing on top of @k-cookie-brooke.bsky.social 's layouts :)

A quick fan animation for #ClaraandtheBelow ! c: The amalgamation ghouls look so cool! :o The project's Kickstarter has 15 days left! The concept art already looks amazing; I can't wait to see how the world unfolds! Let's keep 2D animation projects alive! :D

📽️🎞️ Behind-the-scenes 3/5! The longest shot in Short 2, and my favourite! hehe To tackle it, I broke it down into: ▪️Drafted acting beats ▪️Sketched in the key poses ▪️Tidied the keys, inbetweened, and drafted the bubble FX ▪️Lipsync and tied down FX ▪️Clean-Up ▪️Compositing

📽️🎞️Behind-the-scenes 2/5! Sonni is so adorable 🥺 It was fun playing around with the poses as Sonni loses his balance from waving so hard xD What a happy little friend 🧡✨

Passing (10/15) A mini comic about when best friends pass on, the passing of time, and the recovery of passing through. ---- "The world is better with you in it, and if you can't be here right now, I must wholeheartedly continue on your behalf." Continued in Author's Note

📽️🎞️Some WIP stages for scene 1/5! I like to add shaded patches to my roughs to help track body markings. I think it's easier to notice small volume shifts *before* Clean-Up this way, and stay oriented when pieces overlap (such as Lark's wings during the shake!).

Curious about how hand drawn animations like these are crafted? I'll be sharing some WIP stages and behind-the-scenes clips over the next week! :D All of my animated shots were made within Toon Boom Harmony :)

Neo-Meso Post's second Stamp Short is out now! :D Come see some pretty pixel art, hand drawn animations, and a sprinkling of world lore! 👀 youtu.be/81Fuw0YXbD8?...

Soon! :D

Passing (8/15) A mini comic about when best friends pass on, the passing of time, and the recovery of passing through. ---- "How can the sun be shining, the sky bright blue, and the clouds puffy and white? Doesn't the universe know of the tragedy that just befell it?"

Passing (7/15) A mini comic about when best friends pass on, the passing of time, and the recovery of passing through. ---- "The world is a soundless, colourless blur. This isn't real. This isn't real. This isn't real." ---- The scenes referenced on the "viewer discretion" page are over now.

Passing (1/15) ---- This mini comic is about passing. When best friends pass on, the passing of time, and the recovery of passing through. I started this personal project as a means of processing a series of sudden losses over the recent year. (continued in Author's Note...)

Passing (0/15) ---- I painted a mini comic last year as a personal project, which I've decided to share here as well. Pages will come out M/W/F, and should wrap up just after Comic Fury does. It will be formatted here as: preview panel ➡️ full page ➡️ author's notes.

Spring arrives? Not yet! xD ❄️☃️❄️ Life is good when everything is covered in 2-4 feet of snow, with drifts topping 9 feet! It's great fun to climb around in! ...shoveling, though? Not so much...hahaha Many snowmen were built and many tunnels were dug! :D

A new pokemon generation? *gasp* I think the Pokemon Winds and Waves starters look neat! :D So I had some fun doodling hybrids of what could be Gecqua's neighbouring species 🫧🦎🌊🐉 Can I hope to see a water/dragon starter one day? hahaha
