Hi #portfolioday I’m Myr & I draw moody fantasy commissions for cool people (you) ✨

First art piece of the year!! Decided to have some fun and design my new Starfinder pc Neeri!! 👾🪸🫧

She is a Deep Kalo Witchwarper loosely based on a dumbo octopus! I’m very excited to play her with some familiar faces 👀

I love animation history and one of the things that always baffled me was how did animators draw the cars in 101 Dalmatians before the advent of computer graphics?

Any rigid solid object is extremely challenging for 2D artists to animate because if one stray line isn’t kept perfectly in check, the object will seem to wobble and shift unnaturally.

Even as early as the mid 80’s Disney was using a technique where they would animate a 3D object and then apply a 2D filter to it. This practice could be applied to any solid object a character interacts with: from lanterns a character is holding, to a book (like in Atlantis), or in the most extreme cases Cybernetic parts (like in Treasure Planet).

But 101 Dalmatians was made WAY before the advent of this technology. So how did they do the Cruella car chase sequence at the end of the film?

The answer is so simple I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner:

They just BUILT the models and painted them white with black outlines 🤣

That was the trick. They’re not actually 2D animated, they’re stop motion. They were physical models painted white and filmed on a white background. The black outlines become the lineart lines and they just xeroxed the frame onto an animation cel and painted it like any other 2D animated frame.

That’s how they did it! Isn’t that amazing? It’s such a simple low tech solution but it looks so cool in the final product.

You cannot hide this in the tags, bestie. This is too lovely to keep a secret.

Theodor would approve.

sorry for [remembering a tumblr post about expressing gratitude instead of apologising to make the interaction more positive for the other person] i mean thank you for having a boyfriend who was so easy to run over withmy car and reverse over three times maybe four

the current state of fandom needs to be old yellered immediately. im loading up the shotgun as we speak

this is the PERFECT addition bunny omg

how terrifying metamorphosis must be for the caterpillar has no concept of what it is doing, or what a butterfly is, or what will happen to it as it spins itself the cocoon. we r more alike than different

there are parts of your future self in you waiting emerge but you have to become unrecognizable slime first

These tags are poetry to me

Hey guys I made a pride flag for when your gender is nobody else's fucking business! Check it out!

I wanna formally thank @theunsubtleknife for the ID, because I spent a good thirty seconds waiting for this to load before sulkily scrolling on, thinking I would have to refresh my feed.

debating if it would be funnier to have a bumper sticker saying "my other ride is a [exact make and model of the car the sticker is on]" or "my other ride is a [equally shitty but different car]"

2008 Honda Civic with the bumper sticker "My other ride is a 2007 Honda Civic"

I'M IN TUMBLR NOW!

Hellooo! I hope here I will be able to talk to you more often and more. Don't be afraid to ask something about me or ask for something to draw. Not 100 percent, but maybe I'll take your idea!
