Hot toy summer is here and if you’re not a toy we can fix that!
And if you are a toy we can improve you further~
Typo, artist, somewhat fluffy
Oh hey it’s that red derg all by themselves, look at their big smile C:
DO solo from the Summer Toys piece.
I’m sure most people who have a holiday don’t immediately make a warm up project that is A Lot but I did!
You’ll have likely seen the colour wheel meme going around on social media where people ask for characters to match the character on the wheel but I didn’t want that pressure so just did my own characters… And then I wanted to animate it in a little GIF form so you can easily see the upside down characters…
Before realising that’s 8 characters you have to draw DO you silly thing. Because I was aiming to go with the animation that did mean that I was therefore deliberately going to limit myself to make this easier to do… And THEN I decided to make them approximately the correct height relatively. I am a fool.
This post is about to get LONG so be warned 🙂
I’d not done anything for pride in a few years, partly ‘cus I generally felt I was too behind on stuff and then June snuck up on me but this year I decided “Oh hey I best do it this year”.
Technically this was hinted in Subtle, it was indeed deliberately subtle. But before I get on to that, I still really love the idea of sticking stickers that wash off over time without damaging the magically animate and unpoppable inflatable toy etc. etc.
Hence the pride stickers. ANYWAY what was Subtle about?
Late Jan/early Feb I’d been ruminated on the hit topic we all know and love. Gender. Or, ironically, a lack of one. It’s something I’ve been thinking on for a while ‘cus boy howdy it sure is a strange coincidence that I keep making self-characters that are masc but also not really attached to being specifically male. Even the Obstagoon is SUPER masc but I don’t really consider them male.
Technically the correct term here probably would be “demiboy/guy/man” (as in, someone who feels male sometimes and other times not). But you know what gave me gender euphoria and what didn’t? Agender and demiboy respectively. So I followed the good chemicals and wow internal validation????????
“What does this mean for peeps though? New pronouns?” NOPE 😀
A lot of this is internal validation, they/he still works for me and I have no specific preference on which one. Boy howdy that’s convenient!
But you know, it’s good to finally bite and be open about it in a less subtle way :B
