Respond To Enter In A Free Art Raffel!
(Yes, that word was misspelled intentionally bc of Patreon XD)
2022 is a'comin' and I'm looking forward to another year with you! We've finally got something to look forward to with Z+ coming this spring and we might even get some news from Shanghai's Disney Park. We're a starved group so it'll be nice to hear something :3.
But as 2021 ends and 2022 begins I'd really love to hear about what I can give to you. What do you want to see more of from me? Are there any ideas I've talked about or stories you thought were interesting that you'd want me to flesh out in writing? Do you want to see more static art or would you rather support my dive into animatic scenes and animations? Would you wanna join a Discord channel? Let me know in the comments! Every response to this question will be entered in a raffel for a free art commission or print. I have my own ideas on what to focus on - some I've mentioned previously - but before I make my first yearly game plan I'd like to hear what you have to say!
Special Event Streams
Silly Little Christmas Stream ft. TeamVoiceActs!
This December I'll be hosting a very special, silly little CHARITY Christmas stream on YouTube with voice actors Cas (Judy) and Mickel (Nick)! More info to come later, but I'm REALLY looking forward to having them on again!
A Wildehopps Christmas Stream
I'll ALSO be doing a special stream for all the shippers out there who just want a little holiday romance where I'll be taking requests and drawing out some nice cozy little scenes and scenarios for you all. Might run long and might need to take an EXTRA day in case we have too much fun with it XD Date and time are TBA.
Ok...NOW on to art. (I thought I made this post on Monday, but better late than never!)
iPad WIP. I'm not the best painter so this is practice for me. Would like to get better!
Last stream, I drew some poses / scenarios from the obligatory holiday special of my nonexistent series idea, Zootopia: The Series. I mentioned that last year's [unfinished] comic, Christmas Needs More Cilantro, is actually an edited, slice of life-y version of that "episode"; you can see Nick and Bogo are wearing the same clothing from that comic here.
I'm always so conflicted bc I have stories I'd love to share, but always put it on the back burner. Maybe stories should be the focus for 2022? Let me know in the comments!
In that "ep" (but not the comic) a new character du jour - Carrie Mane. Or just Mane for short. She's a prolific maned wolf singer who is not at all based off of the Christmas Queen Mariah Carey. She'd been in my notebook for two years and I've never actually drawn her! She's a confident singer who's known Gazelle for most of her life, the two having attended school together until university. Despite this, it's rumoured that the two have a nasty rivalry in the music industry. Though her feature of being the tallest of the canines makes her look mysterious and imposing, reports state that she's actually quite nice...unless you're in the paparazzi.
I was hesitant to give her a human woman's body at first until I realized that her EXTREMELY long legs [and arms] warrant the design. There's a balance you have to strike when designing these characters.
Not actually part of this episode was this little doodle where Nick's gaze lingers while staring at Judy, who's wearing his previous green sweater. Or maybe it could be in the episode!
I need to start a Kickstarter...
A warm-up sketch, but this is from one of many notes from the aforementioned series. IF I were a writer, I'd want the focus to initially be on establishing a SOLID friendship between these two. That means allowing them to be comfortable poking fun at them or other characters showing interest in the other without becoming jealous or possessive. Though I would like to leave the "ambiguous relationship" setting on (partially because I'm a tease :P), I'd really like to justify WHY they compliment each other so well and play off that.
At least for season 1.
ANYWAY, that's all I have for tonight! I'm wrapping up a commission while I figure out this animation so if that's all squared away by tomorrow, you'll know what's happening with that (will upload the current file by the end of the week).
See some of you lovelies tomorrow!
