i finally fixed my TVP brushes. had a bunch of really nice brushes a while back and then i lost all of them after a power outage. so i recently scribbled out some textures on a sheet of paper using a dry sharpie and got some nice animated brush tips ayyyyy

oh thank you so much! yeah im definitely gonna be doing more of this stuff. i really love the idea of heavily distorting something with a scanner to see what happens, and then just repurposing it into a new texture LOL i have 2GB of scans from just this drawing alone

did this doodle today. the process for this one is REALLY weird. i actually did the sketch/lines on paper, and colored it digitally.
the wild background with the really weird textures is actually a bunch of really distorted scans of random things that i found around the house

I figured out reaper on a very basic level. from now on I think I might continue to record/splice all of my main instrument tracks in audacity for the convenience, but I'll record vocals and mix/master everything in reaper lol

"not the same anymore" by the strokes
first time sorta successfully doing a full band scenario.
everything performed by me with live equipment. the drums were recorded in 2 separate takes using 2 mics at different distances from the kit, its a super basic setup but its best i can do for now

had a ton of fun with these animation exercises. i specifically wanted to practice stuff like subtle actions involving the whole body, shifting body weight, and different contact points for balance

storyboards on my short film for cookie shall BEGIN
gotta sketch out some basic environments and floor layouts. ill gonna figure out the music as i go, fall into a free-flow movement rather than stiffen up the production early on.

rough camera approach practice animation. been wanting to push myself to start getting comfortable with different forms as they get closer and further away from the camera. get used to those extreme angles and silly high FOV things
