THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT, GUYS
The folks following me here on Tumblr may or may not know that I work at Six Point Harness animation studio (the folks behind Nickelodeon’s El Tigre, MTV’s Good Vibes, The Drawn Together movie, and more). And you may or may not know that Six Point is home to Ed Skudder and Zack Keller, creators of the Mondo series, Dick Figures. You probably remember it from posting animated gifs of the characters doing funny things on your tumblrs a lot.
The style of Dick Figures is very much about using simple character designs to allow animation quality you wouldn’t normally be able to pull off with a youtube series budget. The people here work very hard on it, and have really made something to be proud of.
Some fans have expressed interest in a Dick Figures movie, so Ed and Zack have decided to take it to kickstarter. Crowd sourcing the movie like this means that they would be able to make it their way, without having to rely on producers who would turn the process into a matter of committee approval and quite likely turn it into something completely different than the creators envision.
Funding this project would be amazing, it would completely revolutionize the options available for the creators of animated features in this day and age.
The kickstarter is asking for $250,000 for a half-hour special, but if we make it to $700,000, we can produce a full hour and a half feature film. Contributing to this kickstarter, or even just spreading the word along means you are personally supporting the livelihood of every person in our studio.
And I cannot stress how much that means to all of us.
Thank you for linking me to this.It seems the day has finally come! Today, you’ve received a new video game! How exciting! You’ve been waiting quite some time for the release…doesn’t it look familiar? You could swear you’ve seen this game somewhere before a long time ago. You were just a child, weren’t you? You figure it’s just deja-vu. You’ve obviously never played this before.
Obviously.
The start screen is up and waiting for you to begin, so let’s not keep it waiting, shall we?
Welp
This is the best thing in the world
ever
Laude novella sia cantata
A l’alto donna encoronata
Fresca vergene doncella
Priomo fior, rosa novella
Tutto’l mondo a te s’apella
Nella bonor fosti nata
Tu se’ verga, tu se’fiore
Tu se’ luna de splendore
Volunta avemo e core

Don’t let go of my hand
Repair joyfully, probing, the entire globe
if this knot of mine overflows the world
I only want to connect our fortunes
that simply met each other at the same time
I’ll protect the world from within my knot

I’m pretty much dead from exhaustion after working on this piece for two days straight, but I hope it’s satisfactory to me even after I get some rest and look at it again.
Like the Aradia and Vriska paintings, I’ve combined religious imagery and Homestuck into something… weird and kind of pretentiously cool.
Also, Kanaya is a BAMF and this painting doesn’t come close to portraying that side of her.

Heaven
Heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder
And they say, back then
Our universe
Was an endless land
Until our ancestors
Woke up and before
They went back to sleep
They carved it up
Into the world we know

Blue sky
Blue sea
Song of a southern island
When the white flower blossomed
A daughter was born
The girl was given
The name of the flower—
I. AM. EXHAUSTED.
But I’m happy!
Feferi is one of my favorite trolls, although I’ve always been a bit perplexed about her, since we still don’t know that much about her in contrast to the other trolls. However, what we do know about her is really, really neat.
This piece doesn’t have quite the monochromatic color scheme as the other troll girl paintings, but Fef’s a big fan of pastels, so I went with a very vivid, varied palette.

She said, ‘They all think they know him well.’
She knew him better, better, better.
Everyone wanted something from him.
I did, too, but I shut my mouth.
He just gave me a smile.

You may train the eagle
To stoop to your fist;
Or you may inveigle
The Phoenix of the east;
The lioness, you may move her
To give over her prey;
But you’ll ne’er stop a lover—
He will find out the way.

I can’t feel my right hand. The ligaments are completely fried after this. What is with this obsession with painting troll girls in pretentious art nouveau-style poses? (Just wait, Terezi is going to be a doozy, believe me!)
I feel a bit uneasy about Nepeta being the only troll in this watercolor series to be depicted as being in a romantic pairing; I know that, despite being a minor character, she’s more than just her relationship with Karkat or Equius. Still, it’s a key aspect of her story, and I sympathize with the poor kid because of how pathetic and doomed her crush on Karkat was. Furthermore, my heart does indeed break a little when I contrast that with their ancestors’ story.
The gold watercolors ended up looking very orange in this. Bluh. o__o
