the number 1 rule of fanfic is have fun and be yourself. the number 2 rule is the average healthy adult male can lose roughly 2 liters of blood before dying.

look what i cooked (literally)

sweet as a 1/4th cup of sugar Some extras below the cut!

Holy shit those cookies came out exactly how you wanted em! Did it take a few tries to get em right?

Hii nope, i kinda just tried to keep them as on model as possible because i knew i wouldnt be retrying them, cutting them out just took long xd And in my head i was like okay they will also get a bit distored in the oven, possibly bake unevely and i think thats okay and has its own charm to it Im gonna answer it here as well since a few people asked if i made cookie cutters and no not exactly? I redrew the frames from digital reference on paper and cut it out like so

(also shoutout to fish shaped dish)

then i would put the paper on the dough and put some flour around it to have a guideline that wont move and cut it out

and the back legs have a mix of cocoa : >

you were born in 2006? what are you? a Honda Civic?

writing my own version of heated rivalry but for double luge

"mike was the first person to treat el with kindness and like a human being"

yes good.

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.

the truth untold

lookalikes

appreciation post for all the villain creatures from old barbie movies. the ghoulish freaks. the creatures that look like they would bite your wrist and youd have to pry them off with a rake. horrible animals. you dont find this breed of character designs anymore.
