This > COOL ANIMATION WOAH!!1!

I'm going to try and take it a bit easier for a bit to get some other stuff done, but I'm hoping to have this done by October. In the meantime, there may be some other stuff to share with you guys and I have some sketch pages I never uploaded here cause I wanted to post them in a big block, but I didn't make as many as I wanted so yeah... Anyway, that's all for now. See you guys whenever I next post.

Still cooking this one up, so here's a WIP of the next illustration. It's Pink Monkey again! But angry! Aside from being cute, this is primarily the reason why Pink's my favourite.

I haven't posted in a while, so here's a work in progress for the next illustration. I'm trying some new stuff and having a lot of fun with it!

This will probably be the last thing I post until the new year, so happy holidays everyone! And all the best for the new year!

Okay, I wanted to talk about what I had planned up next and what's going on for the rest of the year in terms of uploads and a little bit about life in general. The rest of the year is pretty packed for me, work's got me doing the Okie Cokie since I'm in and out during the entirety of December and I'm looking to spend a bit more time with my family, so it's going to take me a bit longer to finish the next illustration(s).

This is on top of me wanting to work on more animations, with the current one I'm working on sizing up to be a big one. I've made a storyboard for it so far that I didn't want to share initially as I ripped a bunch of sounds off of Freesounds for the soundscape, but I'm not a sound designer and I credited everyone so I'm not too sure why I felt bad about it. Anyway, if you want to see the storyboard you can follow this link (it's more Thafnine fan art (and some of you may recognise the song)): https://youtu.be/eu6v4dprYso

Now let's talk about the next illustration, well, illustrations. I've already said this a few times, but the next illustrations will be of Pink Monkey from Ape Escape and will be a remake of the old piece I did *checks notes* in 2020?! Has it really been that long? Well, instead of doing one drawing that can be flipped either way, I'm instead going to do two drawings: one of her usual look, and the one where she's pissed. I'm looking forward to it, but that will be the last Ape Escape piece I do for now and I will be shifting back to Splatsouls for a bit (cause boy do I have ideas!).

With that said though, I've been doing a lot of fan art lately and I don't really want to be known for constantly making fan art. I haven't really helped myself with this cause I keep having ideas for fan art that get me really pumped, but at the same time, I've got a lot of original ideas that I want to share with you guys. This doesn't mean that I'm going to stop doing fan art (like I said, I've got a lot of ideas), but from this point, you can probably expect to see some more sketches and pieces based on my own original work in between bigger illustrations (that I'm going to start taking a bit more time on). So, I hope you guys look forward to it!

That's about it for now, at the time of writing I'm currently very tired from working in retail and dealing with Black Friday sales. I have one day left, and then things should calm down a bit until Christmas. Pray for me. See you guys in the next one!

Just a quick post to let everyone know I'm now on Bluesky! If you're over there and like my work, consider giving me a follow. Alright, back to my art hole, see ya! https://bsky.app/profile/british-bigfoot.bsky.social

I've been working on a new drawing, but I wasn't really vibing with it. I like to try and push myself with my projects, but usually what happens is that I don't like how something looks and I just fall back on what's safe. It's not a bad drawing, but I know I can do better.

So in the meantime, here's a sketch page I did to study the characters in the drawing. I guess you could think of it as a teaser.

Apes are indeed about to escape. I've got an idea for a remake of my Pink Monkey piece and one for Blue Monkey too (all based designs based on 3 of course (the one I grew up with)).

Aside from that I also updated my Carrd! So if you want to find me on other socials or are interested in my commissions, you can find it all here: https://british-bigfoot.carrd.co/

All right, that's all for now. Hopefully I can make more cool stuff for you guys and keep getting better and better. Stay safe everyone!

I blame work and PC issues... but I recently finished a bunch of courses I was taking part in to improve my animation skills, so hopefully, I can start posting more animations in the future and I have a couple of ideas of stuff I want to do. In the meantime, you can take a look at the animations I did for the courses here:

The courses were mainly focused on learning what was possible with the programs (Toon Boom and Blender), and I will say I'm a lot more comfortable with hand-drawn animation but I enjoyed working on all of these (especially the 3D one).

And one more thing, I said in my last art post that Octorias would be getting some friends; Well here's a WIP of the first of the two:

Yep, Ornstein (or I guess Urchstein?) is up next, and you can probably guess who's up next. After that, I'll be moving away from Splatsouls for a little bit to work on some other stuff and maybe do a bit of original work. Anyway, that's the end of this update, I'll see you soon with the finished Urchstein piece!

Well, I've gone through my backlog of art now, so there probably won't be anything new for a bit...

That being said, I did want to give an update on what I am working on:

I'm drawing Octorias again, but I'm experimenting with a new art software: Procreate! And while I had to sell a kidney to get an iPad, I'm really enjoying using it right now and being able to draw digitally anywhere I want is nice. I'll be finishing up that first sketch over the next few days, and after that, you can expect Octorias to have found some new friends.

Anyway, thanks for reading. See ya later!

Hey everyone, I'm looking forward to start posting here. I haven't got a lot of new stuff to post, so it's mainly going to be older art that I made over the past year or so...

So, yeah, that's it. Thanks for reading!
