Did that say “thake care of it”?

u/Sea-Wheel4913 16d ago

Haha, you were right 😭 I actually wrote “thake” by mistake. I’m still learning English, so thanks for catching it!

That expression is so peaceful, it fits the "astral solace" vibe perfectly. The star accessory really sells the whole cosmic dreamer look. I've been trying to get that kind of soft, pixelated texture in my own doodles lately but mine always end up looking like scrambled TV static. This one actually feels like it'd make a great sticker or a tiny print for a reading nook.

That’s such a cool comparison! I really love that simple, expressive kind of animation aesthetic. It’s a shame Hatena is gone — it seems like it was such a special little place for animators back then. ✨

Let it be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out.

That reference fits this little star almost too perfectly. I love it ✦

I tried something a little more dynamic with this one than I usually do.

It was challenging, but really fun to animate.

I miss EZToon.

Good old days...

This is great. O love this style. Reminds me of old EZToon animations.

u/Sea-Wheel4913 16d ago

Eztoons is nostalgic for me too. So I'm glad it reminds you of that as well.

Reminds me of an old friend I knew. She had a way of making a room shine like the night sky

u/SirAnatak 16d ago

Very cool reminds me of princess peach in the first paper mario

4

u/Sea-Wheel4913 16d ago

Haha, I can actually see that! I hadn’t made that connection before, but that’s such a cool comparison 😄 I’ve always thought the N64 Paper Mario aesthetic was really beautiful too.

u/thedyooooood 16d ago

Yeah this reminded of her interlude chapters, the little star Twink who hangs out with her, and she also sends mario the lucky star which looks like a star pendant

u/owlve 16d ago
