Colored a picture with my bestie 🤩 (art is by Sad-ist)

so, this is again my friend Nova's oc Tracks. Decided to re-draw the Blue Moon and damn I had a drawing software update!! I'm on a drawing spree!! The main focus, poses, etc. are from an animation by SAD-ist called "Blue Lies" and it's amazing, I'm her big fan to be honest. So here have this drawing. I'm gonna say something insane but tracing IS good... sometimes. For example when you are just learning to draw or battling an artblock. Taking just poses is good too. It's fine as long as you don't claim the artwork as your own entirely or don't show the source of where for example you took the pose from. Speaking of! The SAD-ist animation under the cut, go check her out, I promise you won't be disappointed:

Final Waltz's Wilbur scene appreciation

Final Waltz Appreciation p2

The upgrade in gradient lighting and the use of perspective (we've seen some good perspective use in Hog Hunt as well), not to mention the sun rays in Tommy's speech or the fires when Dream is backing away

The wispiness of Wilbur’s transitions, god the animation in this part and the battle was so beautifully smooth

SAD-ist’s Punz

comic panel -esque dynamic

Angri Niki and murder ready Tubbo

Technoblade :))

Dream’s reflection in the music disk

The shards of the thumbnail falling towards the sides

The way Tubbo and Tommy both turned white when getting out of the ender pearls

the bright neon green lighting and web/string symbolism for Dream

Every time SAD-ist makes a new animatic I cant help but admire the details, the lighting, the color usage, the camera-work, the transitions, and the way she makes the emotions of her scenes come to life. For "Sunsprite's Eulogy" I wanna highlight a few of my favorite tiny points-

1- the exaggeration of boy-king Wilbur, and the giant throne with the burden of adult responsibilities. He sits so small and sad on his lonesome, reminding the viewer that he was still a kid when he was crowned

2- the flawless transition between Tommy's flashback of watching Philza leave (traces of Philza's feathers in the air) and his confession to Wilbur. Perfect visual story-telling, altho I'm biased because that's my favorite scene lmao

3- the way the pacing sped up right at Mumza's death, just like the story itself. It really hit home how quickly they had to grow up and the speed feels nearly overwhelming, as though we're not ready for it

Like how Wilbur and Tommy weren't ready for it

Then the music and pacing slowing down right as Philza returns, subtly depicting how time felt like it froze for all 3 of the boys upon seeing Philza return

I stopped watching the dream smp a while ago but after the SAD-ist animation came out i had to go back. I read passerine a few nights ago, I managed to read the whole thing without crying altho i teared up a lot especially in chapters 3-5. Then i went to watch the vid and cried to all the quotes in the comment section. Even if I weren't a fan of dsmp or sbi or minecraft youtubers, I cant help but be awestruck at the beautiful writing. Passerine might be one of the best fanfictions I've ever read purely because of how it was written, probably better than some published books i've read too.

me: i need sleep

also me coming earlier too studies and waiting almost 2 hours: sleep is for fools, mentally stable and weak. knowledge rules the world

you’ve seen the Spamton divorce cake. Now you have the Gearling divorce cake..
