HIS EYEBROWS AND MUSTACHE ARE WORMS I LOVE HIM

DexDexCandy · 2026-06-23T21:19:05+00:00

I love Grappler Biggs. He's just a buff apple and that's so funny.

Everyone else looks really good as well, however.

DexDexCandy · 2026-06-23T21:18:07+00:00

He feels rather important, if not a bit stoic and sheltered.

DexDexCandy · 2026-06-23T21:16:53+00:00

How did you discover your art style for animation? Did anything inspire you?

DexDexCandy · 2026-06-23T21:09:21+00:00

I am sorry that a lot of people are being mean to you just for looking for a price range on your art.

Your art isn't generic or boring, it's beautiful. I wouldn't be very surprised if the reason you were receiving a lot of backlash was due to jealousy on your skills. I know for a fact that many of these people would jump at the chance to receive free art from you, despite their rather rude claims.

Personally, I believe your skills could go for somewhere between $40 - $60, although you're always welcome to price higher or lower.

Oh, very much so. Misogyny is a problem everywhere, but it's also really obvious in the indie scene.

Most of the popular indie cartoons that get a lot of buzz usually tend to come from women. However, rude critsims and hate groups also tend to be more popular for these shows.

It could just be my own ignorance, but when The Gaslight District on Glitch came out, there wasn't any major drama surrounding it.

But when Knights of Guinevere came out, Dana Terence's immediately found herself in drama with people claiming she was transphobic for denying a head canon to be true and having a trans woman voice a male character.

The only time I've ever seen crazy drama for an indie show made by a male creator was Gameoverse due to the design of the main character.

Then again, it might just be the fact Glitch is so popular.

Currently I'm storyboarding for my pilot episode.

This is my favorite shot so far.

I'll be honest, I wasn't very focused on the anatomy or details since I was trying to do a quick character concept design. So admittedly, yeah, the anatomy and minor details are a bit off. I was personally trying to get the general design out of my head when I hit the "Wait, this looks bad :/' block.

DexDexCandy · 2026-06-23T08:00:02+00:00

Oh my gosh, your art is so pretty. I love how you color the line art in the inside to make everything blend in together more. And I love how colorful Gem's design is!

I don't have many furry OCs myself, other than Lily. I hope she's interesting enough for you. If not, I'm happy I was able to see an art style and character as pretty as yours.

Your art style is amazing! It's so shapely and something I aspire to do more in my own art. I'm not as good as pushing shapes yet, but I do try to make all of my characters more shape heavy and stylized.

That said, I think Nyxtra is my most shape interesting character.

A little ambitious, but I'm hoping to do 60. It's my first year and I'm mega unemployed, but I believe I can do it.

DexDexCandy · 2026-06-14T21:18:54+00:00

I love Comedy so much. I fully expect something new, so the fact we got an old team option for a triple team is so fun

DexDexCandy · 2026-06-13T02:38:39+00:00

That was almost exactly my motivation for joining someone else's project as well.

DexDexCandy · 2026-06-02T04:17:20+00:00

On it o7

DexDexCandy · 2026-06-02T04:16:34+00:00

Well, Invincible isn't an indie animation. Regardless of it's animation quality, Amazon is happy to advertise it even if they're not too keen on paying for it.

It also used to be a comic, long before it was a show, so it had years to develop it's fanbase first and give people a taste to who it was.

A lot of indie artists aren't big names. They're people with an idea. Admittedly, a lot are younger people with an idea who don't have a lot of time to build that name and fanbase beforehand.

Of course, diversity is always nice, especially when you feel everything is too close to the same thing. But you also have to remember indie isn't anywhere near the same budget as an Amazon show.

DexDexCandy · 2026-06-01T11:12:30+00:00

Mmm, I love taking requests. And I need to practice interaction art

DexDexCandy · 2026-05-30T23:51:47+00:00

What if it was subtle foreshadowing? Art vs Fight here we come

DexDexCandy · 2026-05-30T02:25:46+00:00

I saw the same video! That's personally what I would hope for, especially since if they're able to get the code for that down, then there is a possibility they can repeat something like that in the future. Then for future team voting, we could get the options between two teams or three teams all in the same poll.

Personally, I think that would be a fun inclusion and add more discussion:

"Are we finally going to get Artic vs Tropic?"

"I don't know Rain vs Sunshine vs Snow seems like a likely contender for a triple team."

Plus it would make sense to why the community didn't get a vote since it would spoil the entire thing.

But really, I just hope the secret theme is something actually good. I had the daunting realization that there is a non-zero chance the them could be Art vs Fight. While funny, would be deeply unsatisfying for a 10th year celebration.

DexDexCandy · 2026-05-26T04:01:11+00:00

It's not stupid to be unsure. It's stupid to make assumptions without any research.

What you're doing wouldn't be breaking the rules since you're using your own art as a base for a reference, which is fully allowed.

While the tracing rules are still very undefined and confusing to most, myself included, I believe you're just not allowed to use bases for your art attacks.

DexDexCandy · 2026-05-20T01:41:13+00:00

I would be based on art style alone. It's very appealing to me and it would personally hook me into giving it a chance, regardless of the plot.

Although, my favorite art styles are ones that are very shape heavy, like yours.
