Magma cool downs. My toxic trait is trying to convince people to do a Neko Sugar fan animation and doing the intro like a serious anime.

Also thank you for being open for talking about this stuff! You seem genuine in a conversation about it. Pinterest is so bad it's forced me to go back to the libraries. But honestly? It's got me reading again. When a door closes, sometimes a new one opens for the better.
Eyecager (@amberbladejones.bsky.social) reply parent
One concept artist I really like- Trevor Claxton. His stuff is so refreshing and well-informed. I took his class and he talked about how his art is based around a lot of the power tools he used when he was a plumber/fix it guy before he went into art. Stuff like that is soooo cool to me!
Eyecager (@amberbladejones.bsky.social) reply parent
My house is a library of reference books. My phone filled to the brim of photos of signs, buildings, even lighting at certain time of day I really liked. My notepad a compilation of thoughts or dialogue I might not even use but it's there. I don't use pinterest as much but I soak in life and books.

I love that art is an outward mirror of my passions. Research being just as much apart of the process as drawing is so fun! It even gets me more excited about art because I get to practice what I've learned. I'm a scholar first and foremost. Art is just my execution of theories and ideas.
Eyecager (@amberbladejones.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly half of the fun of art is the research itself and finding ways to incorporate real things filtered through my voice. A lot of my influence comes from graphic design that people wouldn't even guess. I do a lot of library researching on the weekends now and it's been great! It's very fun!

New hobby I’m getting into. Researching into building a set up so I don’t kill myself with fumes. Taking some 3D courses too so I can model my own stuff for 3D print and just getting into garage kits hard.

I've been told I only got a job because I was "pretty" before not because I'm artgrinding every day of the week to be a competent and capable professional. It really be like that out here. People are really backhanded.

Oh thats a great tip!! I usually just whiten them once a year to help combat it haha.

Stain is me trying to figure out how to blend high sci-fi with high fantasy with some modern touches. Main characters are two bratty mage apprentices trying to get their magic licenses back by doing magic community service. It's been a fun project to write/worldbuild for so far.

I had to redo some of the BG because I lost the original final PSD but had a earlier saved state on Gdrive somewhere. I didn't think I grew that much in 3 years but layering this out for people to paint on I saw how much I've grown.
Eyecager (@amberbladejones.bsky.social)
This Background Layout is up for paint here: eyecager.gumroad.com/l/pipifanart It's a fanart based off the animation The Legend of Pipi: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5cF... You can use this for BG Paint portfolios! Just be sure to mark it as The Legend of Pipi fanart and credit the original short!

If you read the second part I mean cartoons aimed at kids. I work in animation, I can tell you it’s boiled down to very sweet narratives and bright outcomes. They are comforting stories. It’s not bad to have a sweet tooth for narrative but it’s good to have variety in your diet as a writer.
Eyecager (@amberbladejones.bsky.social) reply parent
One teaches comfort and the other teaches complexity. Both do feed the soul just different cravings. If you’re striving be a writer I think it’s good to eat a variety of flavors.You can still add sugar to lemon and come out with something more interesting than just sugar.
Eyecager (@amberbladejones.bsky.social) reply parent
Have you never felt slightly bitter after an interaction with another human? Have you never felt soured that a conflict didn’t end the way you wanted it too? Being an adult has its mix of triumph and tragedy. Whereas when we’re a kid and watching children media we’re only fed bright outcomes.
Eyecager (@amberbladejones.bsky.social) reply parent
Strawberries? Tart. Cooking chocolate? Bitter. Lemon? Sour. But those flavors paired with sugar elevates BOTH the ingredients to make such a much more complex and savory dish. Contrast is the spice of life.
Eyecager (@amberbladejones.bsky.social) reply parent
Because you’re catering to a younger/general audience you tend to tilt towards sweeter narrative that almost forgets that you can’t just…have a dessert just be only sugar. It needs something bitter or spicy, just something MORE than just sugar cake. You lose complexity and end up w/ something bland.
Eyecager (@amberbladejones.bsky.social)
The new Magma ( magma.com ) brush engine is really nice, the pressure to your lines is getting the brush tool feeling really good.
Eyecager (@amberbladejones.bsky.social)
Gonna QRT this one, if you noticed a big shift in style it's because working on Avatar as a character layout artist in the animation department fundamentally shifted my style a lot. But in a lot of good ways! I do like when shows I work on change me as an artist and become apart of me.

Reminds me of year 1 Arknights designs where it was banger after banger. Then we veered in....some kind of general gacha territory at times but its a good return to old form. Their more grounded but some quirky stuff is what I feel is the soul of their design. Also why I really like Arknights.

Oh yeah I "read" which is via audiobook lol. I got library cards from multiple cities in two states so I am making good use of em on Libby.

Excerpt from my story Mythic: "You should have stayed in the cradle of your glade, where time moves slow and death is a thing that only lingers on the edges of your dreams. But now...you’ve tasted the air beyond. You’ve dared to trespass in the lands where decay is not a whisper but a roaring tide."
