[NG Advent Calendar Day Three]

The iconic characters of the NG world be changing. :) Even Trish in the background there! Love this.

GallowJolt responds:

Thanks, cd!

[blow your fricken nose wtf]

lmao. XD The feather body and all... there's more than the nose to this one. Intriguing character.

[Just some heads]

Or could it be... a new Dave? Certain similarities there do be...

Also it's good to be ahead.

ChazDude responds:

These could well be used in an upcoming comic...

[coffee break]

For a moment there I thought it was the coffee cup of a giant, and that nail clipping a banana...

Gotta let it sink in a bit for it to not be noticeable though.

Also really feel like brewing a fresh, steamy, strong cup of coffee right now...

[Samus Aran.]

Samus just never seems to seize to be a favorite! :D Very smooth work yet again too.

[sprint]

Only 12 frames make for this smooth an animation motion... that's still pretty impressive! Feels like the legs freeze up for a tiny bit when they're closest together (maybe that's the lazy part?) but overall this looks great. So innocent, so unintentional, button eyes and so easily shapeshifting a mass, so free... and yet he never gets anywhere. As if the red background is a representation of our world the hamster wheel we all just keep running around. Free within the very fabric of our own cage.

Anyway before I started getting all analytical this was a pretty inspiring little thing! Makes you want to go running a bit. Get in shape. Leap out the office window and live life.

Would also probably have been much more meditative with a bit more green.

Luis responds:

Thank you for the feedback. I think one of the dangers of working with such little frames is that you can run into problems with how browsers and sometimes websites render gifs. internet explorer seems to have a tough time having it loop properly, firefox looks ok and chrome is a lil slow.

[Glass Teacup 2.0]

Again with these amazingly life-like 3D renditions... is what I thought I'd say but this one, you know... one thing about tea: does it really cause this much condensation? I believe condensation occurs when cold and warm air collides, so for this level of it the tea must be in an incredible cold locale (I have no idea what I'm talking about here in regard to the science but I don't believe I've ever seen this much condensation on a tea cup so maybe there's some logic there), the tea also looks unnaturally dark, and the reflection of the surface on the glass seems strange without a larger amount of light seeping in... maybe it's the lighting that just feels very left out here. Both the tea and the background black as night, and yet the table seems to be bathing in daylight. Somewhat incomplete background, maybe? Props on very realistic glass though, but it doesn't give as wholesome a perspective as the previous.

As for glass teacups they definitely do exist. :) Might be something for my wishlist too... have tried them elsewhere but never had one myself. The one downside: glass is pretty good at channeling heat. Burns yo. Maybe the reason they're still a bit rare...

Update: It really is looking a lot more like tea now! :D Should've figured it could've been coffee in the previous. The grainy reflection on the glass still feels a bit odd, but the condensation level now, the color of tea, the difference in how it's perceived through the glass/above it, the way the leaves bend... starting to look really lifelike again! I believe the spoon catches the purple a bit more than a regular spoon would, but overall this is looking pretty good! Improved steam too - or just more visible? Either way very nice. Wouldn't mind a cup of that...

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you for the very thorough, honest review. I still want a glass teacup, burns be darned :)

UPDATE: Smiles for miles ^w^

[Merry Christmass from Suomi]

That clickbait description man, I really fell for it! XD A cheerful Christmas bit here too, bright and nice and possibly nympho! Judging by the eyes and slight ruse with the exposed pose. Hmm, it always falls on the expression after all. Most important part. Merry Christmas!
