And I Finished Hydra, Though I Gotta Say, This One Was Tougher To Design. But I Think I Did It Justice. 

Boxster Idle Animation Test. I rigged his little front flap so he could have some secondary action going on. Also added some vertex wobble. Grease pencil is kinda difficult for me to use but ill figure it out eventually (updated my blender version the for the first time so also had to get used to the new stuff and some bugs lol)

Unfortunate News About Insomnia Video Part 2

So it turns out I can't use After Effects anymore until sometime in January (maybe the 15th), which was what I was using to make the Insomnia videos. I could try to pick up another software to finish the video, but I don't really know any free alternatives that could use a AEP file. While I still have the doodle dump and other things planned, I kinda still feel its necessary to do everything in order. I do have some other stuff to work on meanwhile unrelated to the AU, got other art to show off, plus I'm planning to pick up a sewing project Ive been putting off for a bit. I'll post some progress pics. I'm still planning on getting this stuff done, I've been pushing myself to get projects finished.

While I'm kinda set on this decision, I still want to hear your thoughts, maybe you'll convince me to do something.

Be nice though, I'm sensitive /j

I live, here's some rough pikmin stuff (I lost the file for the ship one though so im not sure if im ever gonna finish that)

My brother came up with an amazing idea. Bandana Dee in Kirby Air Ride folks!

Some shading practice void design inspired by @witchypuffball

I finished the main parts of the patterns! All thats left now is to add some fake zippers since the real ones are too small to show up, finish the lining inside, and make a cushion to stuff him with when not being used as a backpack. I would make some process notes but im pretty tired and its all a blur by now, lemme know if you genuinely want some thoughts I can scrounge something.

Here’s some older art of another one of my stick figure characters. Paddy is a yellow bear suit with some unknown individual, or, thing inside. Paddy is able to grow claws on its hands but can also generate short spikes all over the body, however chooses not too due to not wanting to ruin its suit. When it retracts all spikes, including claws, Paddy can release a single longer spike to catch it’s opponents off guard.

Hello, I’m alive. And I crave pikmin content. Inspired by a drawing from @jasonlupas on his twitter.

Some more details under the cut

I don’t have a solid story for this, the Plasm Wraith just merges with Olimar. As far as how this form works, this is still just Olimar with his body now consisting of the Plasm Wraith’s material. What happened to the wraith’s consciousness? Well it’s a mystery.

But since Olimar is docile it makes studying the Plasm Wraith’s properties easier.

Olimar’s default form is similar to how he used to be, except with a hole on his face and his left arm is stubby.  The form seems to be held up through some sort psychic ability. He can change his shape any way he wants, but it take cognitive effort. Not that he wants to.... This is especially evident when he goes to sleep, as his body just becomes an amorphous blob till he wakes. It’s not known why he needs to sleep, he just describes that “he’s tired” and can’t stay conscious forever. It seems like this form works without much effort from Olimar, as he’s not able to describe how exactly everything works. Another thing to note, his body can change unintentionally due to his emotions. One common example, when he’s agitated, his body will form sharp spikes of varying size. 

Unfortunately, the Koppaites haven’t been able to test the full extent of the Plasm Wraith’s abilities due to Olimar being unwilling to try out some of those tests, especially offensive capabilities. Ever since the incident, he’s been uneasy. He’s not sure if he can go home, or what exactly the Plasm Wraith did to him, and possible consequences in the future. So he copes by just working every day as normal and doesn’t like to address any issues about his form. When the stress does overtake him, the pikmin do a great job of calming him down. While at first the pikmin were concerned, they warmed up to him quickly and treat him no differently as their captain now. As of current knowledge, Olimar still prefer to use the pikmin as his tool set for handling obstacles or enemies.

There is still concern over the Plasm Wraith’s previously violent nature. It’s doubtful that the creature would willingly suppress or remove its consciousness for Olimar’s sake. There are several theories on what’s going on. It could be that the Plasm Wraith is satiated with being merged with Olimar. Or it’s just observing through Olimar’s perspective. One upsetting theory is that Olimar doesn’t truly exist anymore and that the Plasm Wraith just absorbed his memory and believes that it is Olimar. 

Thankfully the Koppaites have decided not to bother their comrade with these theories.
