/oc/ - Original Creation

wow this looks great!

>>827
This is really neat!

I haven't posted any update in this project for a while but wanted to show a simple test I made with an Aoba jpeg. Some stuff I want to clear up early on, I mostly do motion graphics/motion design, a lot of animators will get sort of pissy if I call these crude works "animations" instead of motion graphics so I am changing this to be titled as a motion graphic made anime style project (NOT AN ANIME!!1!) just to erase any confusion.

Anyways, regarding the Aoba, I am using Joysticks N' Sliders inside of after effects after badly separating each part of the Aoba, he was severely hurt and dismembered for this test. This has allowed me to effectively use raster layers to be manipulated and keyframed to then bind them to a controller (joystick null).

Next thing on the list, some lip syncing and face expressions tests. I would like to be sent videos of phrases and some characters to serve as lab rats. If not, the Aoba will be the only one I torture.

Excuse the gif quality, had to compress it to death for it to post here.

Samefag as >>843 , I initially thought of the "falling in love with the insect monster", but I really like your symbiosis idea! It could also involve transformation. And for that I see 2 case scenarios :

1) A falls for B, the Brundlefly, but the more time they spend together, the more A has bodily side effects (because contagion).

2) A & B are originally humans, at least one does science and stuff. Shit goes wrong in the lab, except it's not noticeable right away (ex: spores floating in the air) but it affects their biology. They progressively both transform and fall in love as they share the struggle.

You could also have A & B not like each other initially, for more tension, regardless of setting. In the end, they both need each other. Not sure about the "fusing bodies" though, it's a more spiritual relationship then, is it?

Speaking of using 80s movies as inspiration you remember Neverending Story? The main plot is a boy who reads a novel is actually a character/force in the story and the main character he's reading about is just along for the ride. It makes me think of a reader or writer developing a crush on one of the characters in the novel they're reading only to realize they aren't so fictional.

idk I'd love to read it, but I don't feel creative enough to write something like that.

>>861
I've thought of similar stories but I always get to the point where the realization that the fictional character would never age or even potentially never have character development past their story like they're stuck in the status quo. It's kinda depressing, but could also be some nice commentary on the future of artificial intelligence.

Her fics are definitely on AO3/FFN. She linked to them on tumblr but mostly posted askbox drabbles there. I think she deleted her Livejornal and locked her Dreamwidth plus Wayback is down so I can't be 100% sure but she said they were crossposted there. I checked one of her old fics too and it doesn't directly link to it but it mentions that she was planning to do a write up with some notes and cut scenes on DW which I (vaguely) remember reading at the time.

I’m writing a fic right now and I’m reading over what I’ve written so far and it’s god awful. I’m praying it can be saved with some serious tlc. Just gotta be extra vigilant while editing and it might come out okay. I just wanna make some content for this rare pair I’ve found myself interested in. And I’m even worse at drawing, but it won’t stop me from creating at least something for them, even if it is subpar quality.

>>859
Even if you think it's rubbish after editing just make piece with it and use what you've learned when writing the next one. I'm still not proud of my own writing, but I can see a big difference in my works from two years ago to now. Hopefully you'll be able to eventually crank ones out that you're proud of.

>>807
Ah that would be really cool Anona, that concept but fully gay would be so cool

I've been making a point-and-click/visual novel set in an abandoned rural place/forest with male characters the mc can encounter and become emotionally intimate with. It's my first ever game project so I'm sure it's shit but I don't really know who to share it with and where…

>>835
>I don't really know who to share it with and where…
itch.io does yaoi game jams every year so maybe you can release your game as a part of that project.

I got the files for 2 of those Scarlet Beriko BL pose books that can be used for reference, the first is for kiss scenes and the second for love scenes.
Please bear in mind that the zips below only contain the image files from the cd included with the pose book and not scans of the book itself. Hope this helps some anon, if I fucked th files please tell me.

holy shit. you’re much stronger than i am because i would have killed myself right then and there. being reminded of imageshack is also such a throwback.

>Jesus/Satan shipping
i did this too, albeit i never uploaded it. i just stuffed it in a notebook and left it in my closet (alongside jesus/judas, and warrior cats shit, and gay art of guys i knew irl). religious angst hits weird, i guess. and i’m 99.9% certain that my parents found it because it enigmatically disappeared one day, but i try to avoid thinking about it for the sake of my sanity.

>>830
>alongside jesus/judas
Fucking kek. There IS something fascinating about it I guess. I think a lot of teens have their occult, religious or UFO phase when they're around 14-16 years old. Probably an attempt to search for a meaning or deeper mysteries in life after the start of the coming of age phase demystified the real world.

My lord anon this story hit me like a truck, if any of the horribly edgy stuff I drew as an autistic 14-year old resurfaced at work I would die then and there. I can't even access my old accounts anymore because the e-mail they're attached to is long gone so I feel like I'm living on borrowed time because I don't even remember what awful shit I've posted online during my edgelord years.

Didn't draw pic related obviously, but have you nonas ever experienced something like this? For me I have a centaur and satyr OC who both started by me drawing Fig Cookie and Cream Unicorn Cookie a lot. The devs don't really care to give content to those two characters so I was like "fine I'll do it myself", but they've evolved much more and now I'm trying to make my own story in a fantasy setting with my own world-building and different fantasy races.

>>831
Oh absolutely. A lot of the DNA of my OCs is a hodgepodge of beloved characters trapped in a medium that failed to deliver either a satisfying character arc or a dynamic that should have been romantic. This one-off character from a Yu Yu Hakusho movie is the 30-year-old template for an OC that is almost completely unrecognizable now. If you follow fandom artists long enough you can sometimes see this process live.

>>831
A couple OCs I had through the end of highschool were basically FMA characters rebranded as shapeshifting hellhounds. I don't think people would recognize them by name or personality, but one of them kept a really similar design for the longest. I still think of them fondly but it was pretty goofy powertripping and the world building was extremely vague for large swathes of it. I don't recall any actual plot, just saying they had a dimensional portal and throwing them into crossovers with whatever I wanted. Most of all I made them cuddle and bother each other. One of them was a smug asshole who knew he could get away with it, and the other was the grumpy fuck who bailed him most of the time.

>>832
It's a really cool design, I can see why you'd want to take elements of it.

It's a simple edit, but can I request for the text and the zippertits to be edited out?

>>834
I'm not great at edits but hopefully this is good enough

>>836
This is great nonnie! Thank you very much!!!
