As Soon As The Internet Decided Depression And Anxiety Were The Everyman Mental Illnesses And Therefore

One of the things we used to do as kids that will forever be embedded as a strong sense-memory in my brain is on nights with a full moon in deep winter, my siblings and I would layer up in all our snow gear and march out onto the middle of the frozen lake, sit down in a circle and tell ghost stories. No flashlights, no lanterns, just the moonlight bouncing off acres and acres of white and the wind howling; the bite of sub-zero air and the stark clarity of starlight in a high frozen atmosphere. You tell yourself that nothing can sneak up to you on open ice but the snow snaking in the wind makes it seem like things are moving all around you, sneaking low and flat and casting strange pale shadows. Sometimes the snow made sound go dead and still but you could still hear the ice under it all, and the resonance of it made us speak in whispers only. And when our fingers and toes started to go numb and we ran out of stories, we'd slide-march our way back home over the ice again, and half-believe that whatever monsters we had made up were following us back over the endless ice.

my favourite area :]

Fanart for @many-a-hues ‘s DTIYs !

Lloyd’s a simplified shape because I was going go roll a sphere through the bottom lines of their cloak to make it move in the wind.

A ton of scrapped animation from the original plan and a breakdown of them under the cut o7

Harmonie loop+hoodie tug, Valconor basic layout—I forgot what I was making them say though.

Valconor wings loop. The second and third flap was for when they pulled themselves up for balance

The two initial sketch concepts; Friendly disagreement between Val and Lloyd with Lloyd dodging Val’s wing when they pulled themselves up (or maybe the wing push was intentional for space? Who knows.)

Harmonie’s lipsync (“Oh, really?”)

Low effort doodle,, I was told to put them in a Minecraft boat

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"

Hiroshi Nagai's paintings need sunglasses to look at.

They look like how it feels to walk across a parking lot on a 98° summer day without a speck of shade in sight.

They look like heaven but also like you'd burn your bare feet on the ground.

Even when you can see shade you know it's not enough and the minute you step out you'll be burnt to a crisp like a vampire.

And it's BEAUTIFUL
