I posted some new stuff in my WIP thread along with a new short animation
If any of you are interested, of course
-
I wanted to see my puppet in full color, so I made this animation of Paradox saying hello and waving to you. I chose him as the character because I could reuse the mane from that last vector drawing with ponies and guns. So...you know, it wouldnt take me really long. Although in reality, it's just going to take a similar amount of time to do it with another character. I finished it in several hours(probably around 4 hours), which includes setting up the puppet, asset creation(glasses, tail, scarf, limbs, etc), and the main animation itself Yep, all that for this 24 FPS 72 frames animation Got any questions about this animation? Feel free to ask down below! ParadoxTest-1.mp4

Some kirin ears which are still halfway done. I made them look more similar to the regular pony ears I made, which means they might lose the thing that makes them stand out from the regular ears. What do you think about them? Horns are done 0637ec3dd4a9fbf28118f90b80f36b91.mp4 0637ec3dd4a9fbf28118f90b80f36b91.mp4 0637ec3dd4a9fbf28118f90b80f36b91.mp4 Also started work on wings

I just finished rewatching the third season
Some may call it as one of the most radical season of the show, sporting only half of the usual number of episodes and introducing alicorn Twilight
I want to say....
It hits really different than when the first time I watched it
Before this, I kind of rolled my eyes on the earlier seasons, it is just now I realized how good it is at keeping me watching

I personally find most science and maths stuff interesting, and I agree that learning by visuals is even more exciting than just plain black and white texts. Like in physics for example, I'm really fond of drawing graphs and making illustrations, after that comes the actual problem solving part involving the graph and illustrations I made, which is mostly just as fun. But you know....I'm just a high school student, so my knowledge in that field is definitely pretty basic In maths, especially when I learned about 3D shapes, you know....those things where you need to find the angle or lenght between this and that. Pretty fun.....when I actually understand what I'm doing. I'm planning to dig more into statistics once I'm done with all of the final year things.

I have always wanted to make something that can be enjoyed by a lot of people in the fandom ever since I got into pony art
Maybe someday
-
So, the Mane 6 found a way to get rid of them at some time Everyone starts hating on each other and being racist because there is no more consequence for it Coupled with the arrival of modern day technologies like the pony internet, no wonder why harmorny started falling apart I bet they have their own pony twitter .... Im not trying to formulate any worthwhile headcannon -

Q. What are signs that you’re experiencing an existential crisis?
A. You may have depression, anxiety or feel unmotivated. You may start asking a lot of questions, such as why you’re doing the job that you’re doing. You may feel regret over past choices and you may even have some suicidal thoughts.
Hold on a second...
..why do these things feel relatable?....Am I really having an existential crisis right now?

If you count chinese as a race, and not a nationality, then I'm technically one What kinds of science and math topics are you talking about? Seems quite unusual for someone to say them as a hobby (not in a bad way) You seem to like statistics a lot with all those numbers and data, is that like your defining character trait? Anyways, welcome to the forum! I remember being greeted by another Chinese user when I first landed here. Enjoy your stay! Additional note : your English is far from poor, as I dont really find any errors worth mentioning.

This is the revamp from front to side
-
Always good to have a model sheet!
I like the front view a lot (as I said previously).
My OC breaks a G4 law about ear positions, in order to make the hairdo work. It seems G4 ears are always located as far back as possible, making room for almost no hair in the back. I find that a limitation for character design.
I think you have done a good job here! I will always support no-cheeks design, like original G4. You are very close to the original, and I like that!

@Splashee pretty sure mine also does that
looking at the show, kirin manes dont work like that at all, especially the top section

About that, this head model is kinda outdated. I havent really taken the time to keep the kirin models up to date. So the cheeks, I actually made them look more visible, but not as much as the movie style. You can see the up to date version in my recent animation tests. My overall plan is to keep what I like about the show style, while implementing some things that make movie style looks smooth and logical.
Extra note : I'm currently trying to give the kirin ears the pseudo movie style treatment, like the normal pony ears. Going to see if its going to work out or not

Slightly revamped side mane and chest floof, beard, or whatever you call it
He doesnt have a really unique design, but he's my ponysona and I like him so much
-
-
@Splashee you could say it looks a bit....messier
Im trying to make it look more natural
And honestly, I didnt even have a set idea on how I was going to do it. I just added another spiral here and some protruding bits here and there
The spiral in the middle actually wasnt planned to be like that, it just my initial design for it just....sucked

-
You can make the ear a bit larger It looks kinda small when compared to the whole head imo
-
To be fair, he was just a placeholder character, but I guess I'm turning him into an actual somepony
-
First time working with an actual audio I experimented with some facial movements supposedly to make things look smoother and more alive Still a bit rough here and there, but....eh...whatever Here it is Tell me what you think! Lipsync-Test-1.mp4

Ear animation test 2 An implementation on how the ear symbol would look in practice
-
My memory about this place is a bit rusty...ehh...where does short test animations fall into? Photo Finish's Magics or Stardom's Creative Resources
Should I use blogs instead? Or should I make a new thread for animation works?
-
If it is the WIP you had a topic for, it was here (In Visual Fan Art):
However, if it is not pony art, it goes into the non-pony artwork.
And if you cannot categorize it, it goes in the misc fan art:

critique wanted Derpy chores
Kevin Tang replied to Yayeartista's topic in Stardom's Creative Resources
Is she washing the dishes? If she is, you might want to actually....I dont know...move her front legs so that it looks like she's washing them? -
1. "Horror movie poster" 2. SCP themed vector art (Project 16) Last but not least, we come to 3. Animation puppets and tests Alright, that wraps up this art thread. Got anything to say? Post them down below, be it questions, critiques, or whatever. If you want to see more frequent updates, you can check my twitter or just visit the poniverse discord server in the user art section. I prefer posting there due to them being....more convenient Thanks for reading!

@SplasheeI'm not going anywhere, I just dont know what to do here anymore.
Speaking of Flash, I wonder what was the last thing I posted in my WIP thread
@Tacodidra Hello again my friend! How are you doing?
-
-
Whoaaaa...1k+ of meaningless notifications! Thats an academy record
, or an indicator that I dont really visit this place as much as I used to Anyways, hello everyone that I know who are still here. How are you all doing recently?
If you're asking me, I'm fine. University life is closing in and I have to get everything ready in this final year of high school.
I made some progress in animation, but they arent really that big of a deal. I made an unfinished walkcycle animation and Im currently revamping the head angles again.
Hope you all have a nice day!
