[Day 30]: TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL-

(Whenever i export animations, procreate sometimes messes up the colors a bit? It looks fine on my ipad, but the animation is desaturated on my phone, so here's what it should look like:)

Anyways, i thought it would be funny to draw Joel summoning Effo, inspired by Grian & Scar summoning mumbo during season 8. It turned out even sillier than i thought it would and i absolutely love it wkdhwjd

(explanation of the animation + sketch of the tail below!)

Also wanted to show off the sketch since it shows off the movement a lot better! I did end up changing a LOT (and even ended up adding some frames where i did lineart w/o a sketch inbetween... Oop-) but u can still kind of see the drag and offset?

So basically: since the tail isn't a stiff object like... A table or sth, it has multiple 'joints' (<-don't remember the proper term for it). Now, if u animated the tail just moving back and forth it would look v v stiff and wierd, since irl the tip of the tail would be "dragged along" with the bottom (<-aka the ACTUAL joint that the movement originates from). To create a more organic and realistic movement, you need to slightly delay the other parts of the tail. I usually use those lil circles to sketch this out at first, since its a lot easier to do without having to worry about shape and perspective and such.

(in theory i know wayyy too much about animation, but in practice im still struggling to do it bc i don't have much experience animating ekfhakdj- i do know the theory p well, which is why im hoping his lil explanation might help someone! Let me know if u guys want me to include some art theory lessons more often :D)

Am i surprised that Doc is fighting off the homophobes during pride month? Nahhh that's classic Doc behavior, but it IS rly fun to watch.

Did i, however, expect (c!)Doc to propose to (c!)Ren during Pride month? Wait what-

And did i expect Ren to just go along with it??? Yes, Ren is basically the personification of the improf "yes and-" at this point wkdhwkej

Everytime ppl start liking/rb old art of mine again i get a lil jumpscared, cause it's like "whats tha- WOAH! Wait i completely forgot i made that..."

Memory issues + poor object permanence will do that to u wkdjakdj

[Day 18]: joehills

FINALLY! Ive been waiting for a reason to show off my joe design >:D i present to you: jhost controlling his juppet! Hope u guys like it, imma go back to working on the next art rq :3

Slightly edited this cause i noticed a lil mistake (one of the frames was longer than it should be)

Does this change anything big or noticeable about the animation? ...yesss? Uh. Definitely. Mhm. I'm not just being a perfectionist for absolutely no reason. Yep! /s/j

[Day 31]: Rendog!

Decided to make a lil animation of our favorite Gigacorp employee for today's hermitaday :D He's exploring the recently discovered planet he build his base on.

Oh! What's that??? Looks like he got spooked by something... It was probably just the wind or something, right? I'm sure its fine... :)

(closeups/non animated version below!)

Goodness gracious, i can't believe hermitaday 2024 is over??? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE COMPLETED AN ART CHALLANGE LIKE THIS LMFAO-

Everyone say thank you to my adhd meds!!! Are they working properly??? Nope. Not at all. But they r making me hyperfixate on things 24/7, mainly art, which is probably the only reason i completed this LMFAO (my grades on the other hand... Are suffering... Oop-)

Sharing this bc I need to rant about the absolute chaos the process of making this was

1st pic: sketch of the face. 2nd: finished version

Basically, our teacher realized we had to make sth for a gallery she forgot about and decided we would quickly draw coal figures inspired by / copying Käthe Kollwitzes artworks*

Since I'm rlyyy behind on our current big/main project, I had to rush this coal drawing in like an hour. (other students had 1-6 hours) and well.. Rushing a life sized coal drawing is def not a good idea wkdhkwej

EXCEPT. That's not we're the chaos stopped. Not only did i forget my coal eraser at home, but i also realized after making the sketch that this WASNT coal, it was chalk, which u can barely erase... (It was 7am alr, i was too tired to notice i was using a different black stick than usually-)

Usually when i use coal, i apply a bit much at first & then use my eraser to create value, but now that obviously wouldn't work... Not only that, but by the time i realized you couldn't erase this properly, i was already done with most of the sketch...

(* is bellow)

*kind of like a collage, but instead of cutting them out we drew life sized version with coal. We also arranged them differently than in her artworks & used figures from multiple of her artworks.

Ik that online, "copying" other artists tends to be a bit controversial, but most art schools use it a LOT, since it's a great way to learn from more experienced artist! ("why reinvent the wheel if someone else already did it for u already?") It's just for studying tho and we don't pretend it's our original artwork/idea or sth... That would just be plagiarism LMFAO

Actually i wanna rant about this more at some point bc i do not like how the whole tracing drama influenced the online art communities view on learning from other artists...

"Being lazy is bad" nono pookie, see how i used USB sticks to elevate the bridge for a wooden miniature house??? I would have never done that if i glued it together PROPERLY instead of being lazy & gluing all the parts together at once. Lazyness is the source of invention! (<- me trying to justify doing rly scuffed shortcuts that will probably cause problems later on bc I'm being lazy)

Anyways, I'm finishing the pier for the hermithouse rn! There's one wooden beam missing, since I'm leaving some free space for Gem's boat, which i will hopefully add after the gallery :D

Hermithouse update!

Aka the miniature wooden house I'm making for school / an art gallery, that I'm trying to add as many hermitcraft references to as possible!

Fun fact, the second floor is removable :3

Look at the lil bridge and spikey rocks i made for the outside area :D and all it took to make them was a small blood sacrifce! (<-this isn't a joke btw, i ended up getting hurt while using an electric saw... DW IT'S FINE ITS JUST A SMALL CUT LMFAO!!!)

The house is built on a river next to a forrest, but since i left that part in school over the weekend, i can't show yall my progress on it ;^;

More info + pictures of the whole house bellow!

(if u wanna suggest/already suggested sth, the update on the suggestions is below too!)

The deadline is Wednesday, which sadly means i don't have time to finish/add everything until then... BUT! Once the gallery is over, i will try to add the rest, including some more obvious references!

My current plans are:

Painting of a BIG moon

Original 12 bamboo

Mending book reference

Scarland artbook

Grumbot Laptop

Snail

Cherryblossom tree

The river near Magic Mountain (+gems deadly rocks)

Effo statue

Permitoffice posters

Hotguy poster

Gems boat

already added/gona try n add these before Wednesday, I'll add these after the gallery

Most of these are things you guys suggested, big ty for that! If u have any more ideas, feel free to tell me, although i will only be able to add those after the gallery!

Beef painting the Iskall bedroom in his house. -Chandelier

Here u go!

Decided to do a sketchy animation for this one, i hope you like it :D it was a lot of fun to draw, I've really been enjoying animating these lil gifs! If you guys have any suggestions (especially if it could be turned into a lil gif 👁️👁️) my ask is open :3

❗Hermitcraft / Life series art requests open❗

Lil sneak peak of a lil animation for an art request that 'll be posting soon :3 (probably just gona keep the animation sketchy and not do lineart/colors, since i got 2 exams next week...)

HERMITCRAFT/LIFE SERIES ART REQUESTS ARE STILL OPEN!!!

I'm still a bit busy w/ school, so it might take a while, but i promise I'll try to do all of them!!!

Neighborhood & poe poe lore be like:

"Local communists* decided to get involved in capitalism recently, but upon trying to create their own monopoly on terracotta, they somehow managed to imideatly piss off the police. Now, they are planning to become mob bosses in order to retaliate against law enforcement**. This decision might lead to conflict between them, since one of them seems to already be part of the big salmon mafia-"

*still calling them "communists participating in capitalism (shopping district)" bc their jobs/minister positions outside of the shopping district aren't controlled by supply & demand and they all get equal pay (aka none). might rant about this more in a reblogg

**Quote from Cleo: "My first reaction to this was turning into a mob boss for some reason, [...]"

HI HEY HELLO HEARD U WERE LOOKING FOR ART REQUESTS AND IF U DONT MIND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A LIL DOODLE OF SCAR HELPING ETHO TO SCAR-PROOF THE MAIL SYSTEM /nf

[Day 28]: Scar

You want a lil doodle of Scar and Etho? Of course, lemme just-

-oops i think my hand slipped... This was just supposed to be a doodle but while looking for references i saw a scene that i just HAD to draw.

I apologize for taking to long on this request LMFAO. i do hope u like it tho :D

If u recognize the Etho, it's because i posted the sketch for him on his day of hermitaday!

[Closeups below]

It's a lil rushed cause i didn't have much time, so i think it can hypothetically still count as a sketch? At least the shading?? Mayhaps???

(curse school for being from 6am-4pm on most days :(((( I JUST WANNA DRAW!!!! lets ignore the fact i go to an art school and i already have 9+ hours of art a week, not including the art projects in other classes.... I want to draw MORE!)

This gave me such a funny idea

Gona be headcanoning c!Xisumas prns as "X" or "Xe" from now and pretending that everytime someone calls xem "X", they aren't calling c!Xisuma a nickname, they are using Xeir PRONOUNS iwhekwheje

xisuma did a q&a and said "idgaf what my pronouns are or what c!xisumas pronouns are or what EX's pronouns are" and then he got the boundary question and was like "i mean theres things i dont like but you should make them anyway" and both of those answers are so iconic

Final Hermitaday May 2024 post

I put is every single artwork i made in one picture, if you wanna take a closer look at one of them, here's their Masterpost!

Ahhhh i can't believe it's over already!!! Thank you so so much @hermitadaymay for creating this wonderful challenge!

(more detailed thank you message below!)

Participating in this was so much fun! It really inspired me to draw more and finally do more digital art, which I'm really grateful for, since I've been trying to convince myself to FINALLY learn it for literal years. Thanks to this challenge i finally started doing it :D

Additionally, I feel like I've improved a lot thanks to this challenge, since it made me draw even more than usually. I'm incredibly proud of myself for actually doing all of them, cause I've participated in some other art challenges before, but i never even got close to finishing them. Completing this one was a pleasant surprise! Im already reallyyy excited for next year, i hope i can participate again!

(I was originally gona add these final words to Rens prompt, but i finished that at like... 1am... So i decided to just go to sleep and do this later wiehwkdj)

Until next year, hermitaday, and Happy pride month everyone!

(shhhh ik im a day late cause its june 2nd, i was busy yesterday alright ;~;)

First sketch for that day that i ended up putting discarding:

I started this on the 31st, since it was my original idea for Rens prompt. However, I quickly realized it would take WAYYYY too long to draw & animate all of this, so instead i decided to just draw a simple standing pose of him in a gigacorp inspired outfit and post the walk animation a little later. Except, as i often do, i kept coming up with "small" things i could add to it while drawing...

....Until i suddenly had an animated and shaded piece with a background??? Which. Defeated the whole purpose of drawing sth different???? Anyways, the finished one i posted that day gave me an idea for a Hermitcraft AU and now i lowkey wanna work on that instead of finishing the walk animation LMFAO

Thought id post the WIP on here since im probably not gona finish it anyways

**Might make AUs inspired by these, I'll post more info about that soon!

My Toxic trait is that everytime i have an art hyperfixation, i convince myself that this level of productivity is something i can keep up and start planning a shit ton of long term art projects that i usually leave unfinished-

ANYWAYS, ON A COMPLETELY UNRELATED NOTE: /HJ

Would you guys be interested in me posting Hermitcraft AUs? I'll probably make a post about them soon, but i dunno whether it's a good idea to announce them yet since i haven't rly started working on them... Eh I'm sure it will be fineeee

[Day 25]: Impulse!

He's a bit angy cause he was gona work on his city, but then it started raining :( demons and rain don't work well together...

Aaaaa i love the way this turned out! I saw a post a while ago mentioning how impulse complained about being drawn as v 'basic' in fanart, so i decided extra hard to try and capture his... Personality in this :3

Close up + version w/o the background below!

Something i absolutely love about hermitcraft / the life series is their skins. Especially the fact that so many skins have complimentary color palletes??? It makes drawing them sm fun. (cleo for example, shes got red hair & bluish skin, which is a myc complimentary pair, but shes also got green which combined w/ the red is an rgb pair! Impulse got yellow and purple which is another rgb one :D)

[Day 31]: Rendog!

[Day 22]: Iskall!

He's writing a love letter for joel :3 non animated version bellow!

Aaaa these little gifs r sm fun to make! Maybe a little too much fun, considering i just spent 6hrs drawing instead of studying for my math exam on Friday... Oop-

It's fineeee, im p good at math so i don't have much to worry about!

[Day 29]: Hypno!

Decided to just do a quick colored sketch today :D except then i accidentally started rendering... Eh it still counts as a sketch! Kind of. I think. Maybe. :(

Istg this happens every time. I go "alr just a sketch today", i blink, and suddenly multiple hours have passed and i have a fully rendered piece with a background??? Like? I wonder why that happens... (looks at my adhd diagnosis) i cant think of any reasons why /s/j

LUCKILY! I did actually manage to convince myself to only spend an hour drawing instead of the usual.... 5 to 10 hours... (i mainly do traditional art so my digital art process is still VERY slow and VERY tedious... It's been getting better tho!)

[Day 21]: Bdubbleo!

The man, the myth, the legendary sleeper: Bdubs! Ty for the request, i hope u like the final result! I've been experimenting w/ more simplified / comic like artstyles and i think im p happy with how much I've been improving at them :3

💥❗HERMITCRAFT/TRAFFIC ART REQUESTS OPEN❗💥

Close ups of Climb10 and Jevins shop below!

Im usually p bad drawing horses, I'm surprised about how well this one turned out?

You know that it's bad when grian goes on strike and refuses to build it 😭

LMFAO WHY DOES THE NEWEST GUESS THE BUILD EPISODE HAVE SO MUCH JOELCEST???

LMFAO WHY DOES THE NEWEST GUESS THE BUILD EPISODE HAVE SO MUCH JOELCEST???

[Day 27]: Grian! The pesky bird, the bad boy, the guy who got me into watching hermitcraft during season 7!

Look at him and his silly big eyes! Yep. They r ginormous, just like the moon. And its definitely the only odd thing about them... Don't look too closely tho :)

Ik this is a hermitcraft art challange, but just HAD to draw his badboy skin.

Oh and i gave him a silly necklace (that's hidden underneath his shirt) with absolutely no hidden meaning (<-lie) that i will definitely not elaborate on in future art! (<-depends on whether i remember to actually do it LMFAO)

(meme about grians eyes below!)

"Mumbo is the moon big" no grian, it's not, not as big as your soulless eyes at least! /j/ref

Gem (or anyone else) putting up their graffiti on the cyberpunk wall. -Chandelier

[Day 20]: Geminitay (click for better quality)

Decided to combine an art rq & the promot for today, hope you like it! More art rqs coming soon, i alr finished the lineart for 2 others and I'm gona be posting the colored versions soon!

(Animated version below)

Stupid procreate keeps messing up the colors when i export animations >:( i managed to fix most of it, but it still looks a bit off-
