Art stuff: Making of Sad boi
11/29/2019
So today, I decided I'm going to document my day/workflow, I like posting pics on instagram and, but I don't feel like filling my feed with progress pics every hour, nor filling up my twitter with random tweets on what's on my mind while working (I'll probably end up saying something spicy and end up getting oof for it later down the line). So, I've returned to my blog, where I can do anyhthing I want without fear of judgment, and I'm bring back the art stuff tag thing because I haven't used it in a while....
I'm currently working on another MMD model, this time it's sad boy because I've noticed that's the latest trend going around the community as of late, that and models with a bunch of different expression (which is good). The person who seem to have "came up" with the sad but expressive boy is a person by the name of Mikusaki (a.k.a Noely to some) she's one of the most popluar MMD animators (along with another creator name Momothememeoverload who makes the expressive models and then gives it to someone like Noely to animate), her work has lefted an impacted on me and has inspiered me to get back into MMD (Miku Miku Dance, sorry if I didn't make that clear earlier) at least for the time being. While I found Noely to be very talented espically for being only 18, it seems that she's been going through some stuff maybe imposer syndrome, maybe just regular depression, or maybe she's tired of people asking her for motion download and downloads of her models (which aren't for download btw). The MMD community can be very "Oof" to say the least, it doesn't help that most of them are children who only downloaded the program, so they could make a self model and finally get close to being with their husbando/waifu from (insert popular anime here) and they can be very impenitence and annoying, it's one of the major reason why most Japanese MMD'ers have a Japanese only or a must speak Japanese fluently rule, the only thing more annoying than young fangirl/boy is one who doesn't speak the same language as you or even worse BROKEN JAPANESE UGH, TALK A MAJOR OOF, YIKES FOREVER! Oh, I almost forgot here an exmaple of some of Noely's animations, I had to go to here second channel because due to her current state she deleted all her old videos on first channel (with only one new one there) because she was too embarrassed by them...
(The video might be gone to either due to the whole COPPA thing or on Noely's own accord)
Yeah, she's pretty good, sigh there's nothing worse than a young talented artist being discourage simply due to them thinking their untalented (but it's not like that's anything I'm familar with---not like that's shadow in MY ROOM or anything), but she has many friends in the community who care about her, and from what I heard in passing from someone in a MMD discord I'm in, she doing okay now, just taking a break, so that's good.
===========================================================
I went back to the model and start searching for some clothes to put on him, I was looking for a v-neck with short sleeves, I wanted the neck/chest area to be shown in the model since the model has a Hanahaki Sad boi theme (The Hanahaki disease is where the victim cough/throws up petals when they have a crush on someone, if they don't reveal the crush to said person and or said person rejects them a flower will grow starting from the lunges and bloom out of the victim's mouth chocking them to death.. also flowers/leaves can grow out of the victim's body at times too--this is a fictional disease used as a romantic/tragic plot device usually in yaoi fanfic, regular ship fics, and in Asian media ). So I wanted to be able to show the flowers growing out his body, but alas all I could find where a sleeveless button up with suspenders and this v-neck but the sleeves were a bit too long for my liking and it's wasn't a button up...
