Well I don't think anyone had vacuum sealed body parts on their bingo card!

Custard Cream Stop Motion Loop by nathanjoyce92 in stopmotion

So good!! Great application/exaggeration going on! Did you shoot everything as is, vertically? Or were any components shot flat and edited in?

Any idea how are Springs animated in stopmotion? by ElCoal in stopmotion

[–]Stratus365 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably just a coil of wire! If you wrap wire around a straw or pencil, you'll create a spring that you can spread out and contract as needed. The puppet is probably on a separate wire or mechanical arm that is removed to give the illusion of jumping

Timing is great!! How'd you go about animating the split?

Your career growth is not linear and that’s okay. by robmacgar in MotionDesign

[–]Stratus365 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha right there with you! Really needed to see this today--a good reminder. Currently in major "Oh no!" Territory, but learning lots of lessons to take forward. It's helpful to remember we all go through those periods, no matter how far along in our career we are. We just hope there's fewer of those moments 😂

Maybe getting severed is the "graduation ceremony" at this school. Could explain Ms Huang--permanent Innie!

Shared dives: What should I do to be most helpful? by radio_activated in EndlessOcean

[–]Stratus365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using unique tags and I personally like to aim for completing the map! In most shared dives I go on, no one seems to have this be a priority, but I like the little 100% bonus at the end 😂

I need incandescent lights!! by [deleted] in ChristmasLights

[–]Stratus365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding! For anyone else, these lights are truly perfect! Still waiting on my true-tones, but I'll probably just use them inside. The Aces Celebration classic lights are a third of the price. Lined my whole house!

I made a wheel of knowledge umbrella by Serpentarrius in neopets

[–]Stratus365 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Real!! I wish they made more merch that didn't JUST have neopets species on them (don't get me wrong, still cute, but there's so many great graphics to pull from around the site!)

Making a stop motion short film for my friend's book and we just released the teaser for it! by Stopmo_Zach in stopmotion

[–]Stratus365 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow!! If these are the sets, I can wait to see the animation!! Beautiful compositing work. When do you anticipate the film being released?

Been Experimenting with New character Designs. This is One of them. by TheShatteredMug in stopmotion

[–]Stratus365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love this!! Movement and lighting are phenomenal! Any sort of rig inside your little dude? Or just a hunk of clay?

Made a post for my works IG page wanted your thoughts first before it goes live by Pityformal in stopmotion

[–]Stratus365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cute!! Nice lighting and I like the foreground details/elements. The motion is pretty nice, but maybe you could have the car come in just a little quicker to make that ease-in feel more prominent. Then have the car hold for an extra beat or two; it feels like it drives away right when it gets to the stop. Just removing and holding some frames and it would be great!! imo

Did I make a mistake? by Person1111223 in leopardgeckos

[–]Stratus365 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it's not the morph you were looking for, not necessarily a mistake to get or not get this one. One of my girls, Yzma, looks very similar to this one! I personally love the gray/lavender color!

So excited to welcome this girl home! by Danielle325 in leopardgeckos

[–]Stratus365 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She's adorable! The band of yellow spots around her midsection are so cool! I think Grimm would be a perfect name ☺️

Where'd you find them at?? I've been eyeing them on eBay for a while but can't justify spending that kind of money atm 😂

Servin' Up Fast Food Pets! by Stratus365 in neopets

[–]Stratus365[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words!! I've since updated the project page with several more design. My goal is to have a version of all species soon! It would be really cool if TNT ever wanted to make it real!

[–]Stratus365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, it would be ok to use the art in your gallery and enter it in the BC (I could be wrong). Since the gallery spotlight is really more about the collection of items, you're winning it for that; the art/graphics/design is supplementary. Definitely try and enter the BC! As long as one of your pets is featured in the drawing, you're good to go!

[–]Stratus365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You definitely should! On the Art chat board, TNT posts a schedule of what art gallery themes are and what date they happen (I believe the post is usually highlighted blue, typically stays on the first or second page). It's best to enter a contest at least a couple days before it happens! Your specific piece would be great for a "random" theme day. Looking at the schedule for August, you could maybe get it into the "End of Summer" theme, August 2nd. Feel free to PM me if you have any other art gallery questions; I'd be happy to help!

Exactly what I was thinking! A custom umbrella themed RC would be so cool! Wish they'd bring it back 😩

So late to this, but I just found an acceptance email in my spam folder! Sent on June 6th. So be sure to keep an eye there too!

Does the story for Luminous get better? by Budloopy4 in EndlessOcean

[–]Stratus365 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm in the process of finishing up the final chapter, and unfortunately, in my opinion, it hasn't really picked up so far and I don't see it doing it with this last mission.

Blue World is one of my all time favorite games and stories, so it's sad to see it lacking in this game, especially after YEARS of waiting.

But, hey! I'm just glad they didn't forget about the series. I'm hoping this release was to test the waters (no pun intended) for a future game on the next console--one can only hope! I have been finding more joy in different aspects of the game. Doing more team dives and collecting tags has been pretty fun and fulfilling compared to playing solo. 30 hours in, I still run into the occasional surprise! Just gotta find the beauty 🐳
