I didn't want to post this until the very last moment, but... As you can probably tell from the frame timeline at the bottom, a new animation is on the way. I learned from my previous mistakes, so I think this one will turn out much better.

Lately, doomscrolling Twitter and repeatedly checking Infold's follower count has somehow become my hobby.

Anyway, here's the playlist! I deleted the previous post because it literally contradicted his taste. Enjoy the art and the music!

Sorry this took so long to finish. I've been busy with two projects—one where I'm helping the lead artist, and one that's completely my own. I might post sketches from my project here, or make a separate account for it.

I planned to post this artwork for the anniversary, but unfortunately my health got in the way...

I'm not sure if every song in the playlist really fits him, since I haven't fully figured out his vibe yet...

Sometimes I wonder how I manage to fit drawing art and playing visual novels into my already packed schedule... THEN AGAIN, WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN MY FRIEND KEEPS TALKING SO TEMPTINGLY ABOUT A NOVEL ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

Well, I warned you..

I have nothing to say...

OKAY, I DO HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.

First of all, I'm never telling my friends my art ideas again. It ended with this drawing and a bunch of messages saying, "Draw it."

Secondly, I want to make something with Jestyn. But probably later, around June 15th...

...Alright, one more thing. I plan to draw more stuff like this whenever I get good ideas. I'll be genuinely shocked if this artwork gets more likes than my usual types of drawings...

I'm kind of sad that there's barely any fan content for this novel, especially when it comes to art.(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

I don't have much to say this time. Just that I drew this in two days thanks to a sudden burst of inspiration and...

@thepipiuw Does he even have an eyebrow? I went through all the artwork and couldn't find anything that looked like one... Though Knighter has eyebrows in the official artwork, while Jestin doesn't...

The problem was that FFmpeg (the thing that turns frame-by-frame animation into a video format for any device) just absolutely refused to work properly with Krita on Windows. But on a different operating system, it finally rendered everything correctly...(⁠@⁠_⁠@⁠)

a sketch and a couple of frames without processing:

I really hope the fans enjoy the animation, as I haven't done a full animation before!

Quick update about the animation...

...

My program decided to save the finished animation in completely different colors. Lol, it apparently chose today to become colorblind. (I’m almost crying from how absurd this is ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ)

I tried fixing it, but it’s already really late and I need some sleep. Tomorrow I’ll spend the day trying to solve the issue. I really wanted to post it today, but I guess not this time...

Anyway, I’ll leave you with a sketch and go to bed hoping the problem gets fixed.(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

So far, I’ve fully completed 3 scenes, and there are 2 scenes left — then I can start working my magic with the render… ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ

another bonus for you is the art drawn in a breather (yes, I relax by drawing, but I take a break from animation, I go insane 2.0):

Ha... Yeah, 350 frames. According to my friends’ predictions, I’ll be working on this animation all summer, and I think it’s worth it…

I hope it’s worth the effort...ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

On a nicer note: my friends started sending me memes saying it’s literally me. Now I have so many of them that I can make sketches based on them.

Дед, это ты./granddad it's you.
