This is part of why I started dabbling in animation

ChieriBounce @chieribounce.bsky.social · 1h

This was meant to be a sort of You're-Talking-To-A-Point-And-Click-Adventure-Game-NPC type portrait animation, and also an experiment about mixing framerates. Having to draw every frame of a character (instead of relying on squash & stretch) takes a lot of time... will have to think of a workaround.

"Idle Sherry"
She's listening. Make it worth her time.

What if someone drew her, could she see that?

I was neglecting the spooky month for the first half of October so I'm rapidfire drawing a few Halloween related pictures before it's over. Hope you like Chieri in a fancy(?) black dress!

"Chieri's Halloween House"
Mind your step.

#Art #Slimegirl #Chieri
#Halloween

Chieri welcomes you as you enter the house. Everything is covered in slime. She is wearing a fancy(?) black dress and has a pair of small vampire fangs. She looks at you, eager but a little creepy, and says:
"I redecorated the place for Halloween! What do you think?"

More animations! This one is complex enough to show some issues. Don't get me wrong, it's still good (for my skill level), but it feels a bit stiff. If I had more time, I could draw more frames, which would likely fix that issue.
Is it an issue though? What do you think? How does it look?

"Chieri's Halloween Costume"
The talisman is empty because Chieri can't write. In ANY language.

I just realized it's October and I haven't drawn anything spooky yet. This doesn't really look "Halloween-y" but hopefully it's suitably spooky for the season.

I still haven't found a better name for her, so she's still Sherry...

"Sherry's Halloween Spirit"
She's climbin' in your cabin window.

Sherry is climbing through your ship cabin's window.

Having body parts moving around makes things a lot harder. I might have to simplify the drawing process. I already forgone shading, but I might also remove some of Chieri's "slime coloring" (the light/dark bits). I should also think of a better way to put highlights in the eyes...
What do you think?

Accept the compliment. Do not resist.

I've mentioned before that Chieri is a tall gal, but I never specified just how tall. I thought I'd two-birds-one-stone this by including Arthur too. He is not happy about this.

"Height Difference"
Sadly, it's hard to keep a short shape without dropping matter.

#Art #SlimeGirl #Nerd #Chieri #ArthurWright

Chieri and Arthur are standing side by side. One of them is quite a bit taller than the other, much to the shorter one's dismay.

Will use the tag #Animation to refer to my animated work from now on instead of "Animated". I'll leave it here so this one can be found too.

I don't know yet how often I'll try making an animation and how often I'll just draw something. I guess it depends on the reception.

When I mentioned that I'm considering making an interactive webcomic, think I was joking? NO! I picked up animating! I set a skill level goal I must reach before taking on such a project, and this is the result of my first attempt. It's the "bouncing ball" exercise, but with a touch of Chieri.

FIFTEEN?!?!?!

ChieriBounce @chieribounce.bsky.social · 25d

This was a long time coming, but I finally took a crack at designing Chieri's roommate; the person who found her and agreed to shelter her while she had to lay low. The design is not final, this is just the first iteration. You can tell where Chieri got the color scheme for her human form, right?

"Arthur Wright, Chieri's Roommate"
He appreciates Chieri's ability to be enthusiastic about literally anything.

#Art #SlimeGirl #Nerd #Chieri #ArthurWright

Arthur Wright is holding up three cards each from different card games while pushing up his glasses with a confident smirk.
I don't know how to hashtag him yet.

Well of course it'd be my own thing, not Homestuck. Maybe even something about Chieri, I don't know...

ChieriBounce @chieribounce.bsky.social · 28d

I made this drawing for two reasons. One, I did like Jade in the pilot, and two, I wanted to practice drawing a character with glasses because I'll need that skill for some designs of my own in the (near?) future. I tried to stick close to her design in the pilot, but I did make a few minor changes.

When I read Homestuck over a decade ago, I liked it, or at least the idea of it. I even considered making my own interactive webcomic! But due to laziness and a lack of skill/time, it never went anywhere. Maybe I could do it today? I don't think webcomics are very popular anymore though... Are they?

"Jade Harley"
Yes, I did watch the Homestuck pilot, why do you ask?
