Hello everyone!
☆Noodle post of the day consists of a series of more research for that Lackadaisy fan animatic I am working on (mentioned in previous posts w/my Sable and Rocky human designs!).
I've been working very hard!!! My storyboard is almost done ^^
☆The project is inspired by a song (i'll keep it as a surprise until I post hehe) and a short synopsis would be this: Sable has a rendez-vous with Mitzy at the Little Daisy Cafe, and Mitzy is running late. Rocky encounters him at the cafe and decides to try and spook him, telling him how dangerous Mitzy apparently is, so he could leave. In doing so, Rocky will break into his usual theatrics and do a whole performance, leaving Sable confused and very disturbed.
Its heavily inspired by some scenes seen in the comic and I thought the song was perfect for this scenario!!!! (Oh and I'll draw them as human)
☆Yesterday and today I've been working on choosing colour palettes for the backgrounds and characters. My goals are to make them reminiscent of the iconic colouring of Tracy Butler's comic panels, use 2 to 3 colours and really keep it simple (so I can stick w/them during the whole animatic).
I did a lot of samples;
And some more Rocky studies! As I was doing some sort of character sheet!!!
Dont ask why but I've been STRUGGLING to draw his "human hair" for days haha- I spent a lot of time on it☠️ but I decided i'll keep something simple for the animatic (not the crazy perfect geometrical versions I have down there, those only serve as inspiration haha).
So- yes. Working very hard!! I'll keep posting my advancements here ♡ I won't lie, a bit of support and motivation would be greately appreciated😭it IS my first time doing a whole animatic.
I wanna do something nice and fun!!☆
Thank you SO much for reading all of this♡
Have a great day.
hot artists don't gatekeep
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard
Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.
Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.
Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.
Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.
SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.
SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.
Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.
Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.
Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.
Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.
Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Help me raise money to buy a new iPad for my art ❤️
I've been creating art digitally since 2019 on a second-hand iPad Pro 9.7". Although it's quite old, it served me well for about two years before Procreate—the program I use—started freezing often.
I have contacted Procreate customer support multiple times, explaining my issue and sending them all the required information, but unfortunately, all of their solutions were entirely ineffective.
I have tried everything.
It makes it very difficult to work on detailed projects, as I often have to wait 15–80 seconds (or sometimes longer) until it unfreezes, while it goes through waves of freezing after every few brush strokes. If you're an artist, you'll know how bad that is.
I don't really feel comfortable about getting into my sob story publically, but I haven't been working (other than freelancing, which I literally just started) due to mental illness for the past year. I'm unable to save any money because of that, despite being good with finances, and I have many bills to pay each month :')
You don't have to donate, but if you feel like donating to me, I would greatly appreciate it ❤️

I just really want to hand out compliments to my fellow creators today. If you see this and could use one, please interact!
If my little compliment can shelter you from doubt, soothe your realities, or encourage you to put more art out in the world I'm elated to provide a moment of that, however fleeting.
On the topic, I'm looking to make more mutuals so I can help foster their works, and hopefully they will do the same for me! It's dark out there. Let's light each other up, huh?
As the only person who has interacted so far-
Me, you are amazing. I see you posting about your OCs and I'm proud of you for putting yourself out there! I'm excited for you to share your story and can't wait to read it! ❤️ Keep reaching, keep connecting, keep living.
