As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

🥤Bubbly Receptionist 🫧 New animation featuring my biggest balloon yet >:))) Thanks to all Access/Tips Tier members for the support with this one!!! (BSKY version gently compressed for file size limits!)

mmmmkay more cartoon-ey inflating is kinda fun

@gassysoda.bsky.social l helped me get Koikatsu running and modded to bring models to Blender- Maybe some extra variety for the new year 👀

While trying to get a final Beth character .blend my pattern recognition kicked in while browsing clothes. enjoy a rushed render i made in 10 minutes while trying not to pass out from sleep deprivation and being down horrendous for a prolonged period of time.

Nuumatic has brought irreversible motivation to the Orb community. I just drew Sophia as a balloon.

Now feels like as good of a time than any to begin backing up all my project files and resetting everything. Always nice to have a clean pc instead of trying to remember where "new folder(6)" went. Expect wacky reminiscent and enthusiastic year in review / 2026 plans post

Airy Christmas!! May all your days be airy and light!

Would the ending of Grease have made more sense if Sandy teased Danny by inhaling helium at the fair causing her chest to inflate and they both float off- or are we satisfied with the car suddenly flying into the sky?

GAWD I love hand animating stuff, I love just getting to bring shit to life. I love being able to just draw something that I'm inspired to and not relying on something else to do the work for me. I just feel like it's a good moment to appreciate getting to do 2D animation at all!

Bubbly Receptionist is complete! Access tier members can catch it today! Tips Tier members will be able to watch it on December 24th! Public Release December 28!

I am aware my ominous “today” post no longer applies to certain time zones so I am changing it to “soon” as in like, I think it’s good to go? :3

There is an office chair breaking in the video. do not ask why it sounds like its made of wood. as much as I want to, i don't have access to an office chair to slam against a wall to sample.

today

🎈

oh boy! I can't wait for this third render of my entire project to complete! I sure hope nothing is in pain during this process! my gpu:

I can't wait to have spent hours trying to get this model to stop falling apart just to finally upload this after 3 days of rendering just to get the "can you make hebigger?" comment

That’s not what is supposed to happen when I use the Mega Stone?! How out of control is this Rouge Mega Evolution getting?! As was voted for by all of you, myself, or at least my in-game character has been blown up into a mega big balloon!

Works for Canada too, btw!

Bubbly Receptionist is in the final stretch, and I think I’m cookin good!😤😤😤

I'm not a huge fan of head inflation, but there is totally something about the hands feeling the ballooned face as they ascend that is kinda... 😳

Oc doodle.

yeah sure i can fix that bounce let me just find it in my completely organized and comprehensible graph editor.

I DONT MEAN TO ALARM ANYONE BUT THE PREVIOUSLY BELIEVED SIZE LIMIT HAS BEEN SURPASSED

new pinned post.

Comms will be closed on December 10th as I will be taking a break to focus on personal projects and eventually travelling home for the holidays! Again, HUGE thanks to everyone who participated in this run and interacted, you've all helped keep me fed and my car running this month! ❤️

bunny.

Fortnite Zero Hour event spoilers : youtu.be/wbKmETVWG64?...

Very very very late Bluesky version of Cursed Crystal Balloon! (it's identical to the DA one but now bluesky folks can watch it)

hey so this project is driving me absolutely insane i hope it inspires as much brainrot in you all as it does for me

The cosplay continues in Team Spare 314: www.deviantart.com/svensvenson/...

I'm home and back to cooking! Here's the original concept shot shared with Patrons/Access Tier Members a while ago! you'll be able to see more WIP goodies as they come out!

Working under pressure

I will be home tomorrow, ready for NOTHING BAD TO HAPPEN so I can WORK ON THE COOL OFFICE ANIMATION and then LOCK IN and get it out within a REASONABLE TIME FRAME. I promise im gonna get more stuff out more consistently, hopefully the bs is over for me now.

Thank you to everyone who commissioned me and/or interacted with this post! You all helped me through what would have been a rough month and I can’t thank you enough! Patrons/Deviantart subscribers, keep an eye open for animation teasers through the next weeks as well :))))

I’m typically happy with my body but I wouldn’t mind losing a bit of weight. Or a lot. Or all of it. Or slightly more than all of it. Or enough that someone can parade me around on a string.

office lady but round and floating... (new animation has begun.)

maybe making a story/series would be significantly easier if i just did a comic for most of it, but animated the inflation scenes during/after each part...

They're open! Feel free to shoot me a DM here or another platform for additional information.

Fortnite stuff will be back on the menu. Recreated the obviously real scene where the bugs started blowing people up. (also a quick warmup before comms resume.)

Comms will open again soon, announcement post when I’m ready. Unfortunately this is out of necessity as money is incredibly tight thanks to my vehicle deciding to start falling apart going in to winter. Things haven’t been going great lately, but hopefully more “Buoyalis time” will help me.

mimes are halloween-ey right?

Unfortunately I won't make the deadline of Halloween for this project... I'm taking it a little too slow, but I need to ease off myself so animating doesn't become more burden than fun Again- November will have more renders and fun little things, but animations will be on hold for a bit after!

Strip poker? Outdated. Who’s in for Pump Poker? Last one to float off their seat wins.

I’m realizing after this project (teaser soon hopefully) I’m going to need a break from animating. Especially with self imposed deadlines it’s getting pretty hard to work on these and I’m realizing the quality isn’t improving (as much as i want it to) and a big factor of that is time.

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIS- I’m adding this to my backlog of projects I want to make and it will probably be done in a feral haze. ALSO WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS WAS 10 MONTHS AGO???
