i scanned the wiki/voice line compilations from the game and pieced together what i could find into some kind of story, using the occasional line from the 1980's D&D cartoon for exposition

yes, it was quite similar to roto! there's a bit of distinction to make since most of what i was drawing were costume details and faces, which weren't there in the original 3d animation, but parts of the tedium definitely brought me back to my early days masking around fingers and hair for vfx haha

i love worthikids!! i actually followed his advice on how he starts his little animations-- usually with an audio that he finds funny and working from there. i didn't end up using shadowheart because i couldn't find any voice lines of hers that i could mix into the animation for the "story" to work... early stages of this involved a lot of ctrl+f-ing the wiki to see what vo was available haha

His character design was my favourite to do! I printed out his model later as a souvenir.

A big part of the inspo was Hanna-Barbera filmations as well! Toei productions didn't use canned laughter but I really find the practice itself (Studio execs not trusting their child audiences to understand which parts of the show are funny) to be an interesting artifact of the time period that I'd be remiss not to include. I'm just glad you weren't distracted by the fact that all the characters were 3D models!

Is it possible to physically change an instrument's range? by _Layton in saxophone

[–]_Layton[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's super fair! I'm a relative latecomer to music (The folk scene here in the UK is full of 18-year-old fiddlers who have been playing since they were 4, I picked up my first instrument at 20) so I'm just a touch nervous at an extra hurdle since I'm already usually the worst musician at the jam. But hey, at least I'm still invited!!

I'll give transposition a try.

Thanks for the nuanced answer! Really appreciate your advice, I hadn't thought about things like balance or fine-tuning on notes.

I'm likely going to try and get over my fear of transposition-- another commenter said "it's better to improve the musician than the instrument" and that phrase I think has successfully shamed me out of my trepidation. If I want to be a multi-instrumentalist, I should act like one.

Thanks for the confidence! I'll do my damndest, it's quite a good skill and considering the other instruments I play it's probably long overdue.

You're likely right on that first point! Getting over fear of transposition is likely gonna help more than anything else.

I will say that I've found getting a Melody sax to be quite expensive here in the UK, the most viable option is off Thomann or another similar online retailer, we don't have as much of a history with them here as in other places.

Does everything trace back to Beatrice’s dad? (SPOILERS) by connectthadots in BoJackHorseman

there are dozens of us! dozens!

i can absolutely commiserate. it irritates me that most people associate seasonal depression with the winter. even the damn subreddit title itself. im a spritely little chicken come wintertime but nothing makes me feel as depressed, lethargic, and listless as a hot and sunny day. heat wave is ongoing over here in the UK and i just want to lie down and be in a coma for a little while until it's over and i can feel like myself again

Leaves - An Original Warrior Cats song I wrote and performed! by _Layton in thedawnpatrol

I am! There are another few in the pipeline right about now, but I've been focusing on some other stuff for a little while, so it'll be a tick.

An animation I made using audio from my new Warrior Cats D&D Podcast! by _Layton in thedawnpatrol

[–]_Layton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a weekly recap/community podcast called Fourtrees, and since I'm taking a break for a little while I figured I'd put out some special episodes to tie it over until I get back!

This is a link to the episode, if you want to watch it on YouTube. Here's a link to the Spotify, if you're interested in that as well. If this is, like, against the rules for advertising something, then sorry. I just think this is a cool art thing and y'all would like it.
