Artyskepty VS The Bungie ServersArtyskepty2022-02-23 | My first gaming stream, oh my! Tonight we'll be fighting through the myriad server strain to play through Destiny 2's brand new WITCH QUEEN CAMPAIGN! We'll be starting with a BLIND RUN of the regular campaign then attempting the legendary difficulty and acclimating to Void 3.0!
I'm a solo console player, and I'll be running warlock tonight. This is a fairly fresh account hence why I don't have every exotic. We're just here to have some fun!

Please note that this stream will most likely contain detailed and possibly spoilerific discussions of UNDERTALE, DELTARUNE CHAPTER 1, and the main route of DELTARUNE CHAPTER 2! Proceed at your own risk.
I said this on Twitter, but if I'm not very chatty or have to end the stream early, it's because I've been having breathing issues that come and go lately. Hoping I'll be well enough to do the full stream!

Card credit: twitter.com/fantasygundamSuperposition - SPEEDPAINTArtyskepty2020-12-29 | A speedpaint as part of my Paradise Rising secret santa gift to Nin, also known as LOSTPlNES on Twitter! The characters features are Nin's Bellerose, and her partner Syaoran, who belongs to Ame (ameiix/TlRAMESU).
This piece was a bit of an emotional journey for me. I started off quite excited to draw a fluffy piece of the two. I'd already had the pleasure of drawing Ran for last year's Secret Santa of his brother, and it seemed like a bit of a funny coincindence that I bagged another close associate this year. I've been getting to know these two a bit better this year and I was raring to go.
... Then Ran died! At the very end of Trial 3, he was killed by Nayelli. It was a complete shock for almost all of us, and as someone who's always been very fond of this pair, it made me reevaluate what I wanted to draw. I spent all of December running through ideas, but they all seemed a little too sad for a gift exchange. Eventually I settled on a much simpler composition that lacked a lot of the imagery I was playing around with in previous pieces, but I feel like the quiet pensiveness kind of spoke to their bond in some subtle way, past and present.
I really had a lot of fun making this. I love pulling out all stops when it comes to my final pieces of the year. :')

Here's to more in 2021... perhaps? 😳
Anyway, expect a separate art video soon. Not sure if it'll be this side of the year, but we'll see how my week goes! I got a new mic for Christmas too, so I was thinking about maybe doing a channel update or an art stream.

I ended up switching programs somewhere in between working on this, and decided I wanted to resketch the entire storyboard to fit how I draw in CSP, so that's part of it! Mostly I was just completely distracted by other things for months, though, six months of no routine really did a number on me.
Regardless I'm really happy with how this turned out :) It's my first time in a WHILE doing some actual frame animation, even though it's subtle and limited and offset by a lot of editing tricks. I feel really lucky for getting into this MAP - despite adoring the song and being super excited by there being a Hollyleaf MAP to it, I put it off for months due to other obligations, and when I did try for backup, I ended up getting a part! O fortuna!
Go check out the call! The project's edging ever closer to completion.
Support me: http://ko-fi.com/artyskepty http://patreon.com/artyskeptyEnter To Exit - SPEEDPAINTArtyskepty2020-09-06 | Here we go! This was a bit of a beast compared to the ones I've done previously, it took me all of Wednesday just to finish the drawing, let alone edit it.
This is Kalyan and Vala. They tied in this week's Twitter poll so I decided to do both of them. This is a mockup of a flashback scene about a quarter of the way through the story, where the two talk beneath the stars during a quiet moment on the battlefield. It's kinda bittersweet, it's a favourite moment of mine.
This is the last speedpaint for a while! My plan was to post four weekly speedpaints just to prove that I could and that the work wasn't too overwhelming. Now that I've proven it to myself, I'm probably going to switch to monthly speedpaints, so keep an eye out for another one a month from now!

I don't use my voice often, even outside the internet, but I want to branch out with the things I do and I feel like this is something not too intimidating that will help me get out of my comfort zone.
This week's speedpaint features Kaiah and Tzedek, as my Twitter followers requested I design some new characters, because they're a fan of taking the easy option. Nevertheless, it was rewarding to finally get some designs hammered out for these two!

In other circumstances, this video would have went up for Patrons three days early! Due to encountering two separate issues that forced me to re-edit, and then having some personal complications, I wasn't able to do that and still meet my upload schedule this week. However this is a one-off thing!

In this speedpaint I've illustrated Dämmera, Andain and Maris, because my Twitter followers requested I draw someone new! These three occupy a weird narrative space in PMM where they're all dead or otherwise missing before the earliest part of the story, but the effects they leave on the story are massive.
- Dämmera is an old guard of the gentry, a former knight in the the religious order known as the Kanda, and the instigator of two civil wars. He’s like your textbook revolutionary noble except he’s paradoxically old and ‘traditional’.
- Andain is a former chaplain in the Kanda and the head of a research team hoping to find a cure for his people’s genetic crisis, but he vanishes pretty suddenly at the end of the first civil war. He was a close friend of Dämmera and a confidant of the queen Salfa Lilith.
- Maris is a midmith who was adopted into a lord’s family as an infant, and when he inherits the title he eventually sides with Dämmera in the second civil war! He’s also Felix’s dad and has the most BDE of any character in this story except maybe Kaiah.

Anyway I had a lot of fun doing this, I whipped up a mockup a few weeks ago and told myself I'd record this as a treat when I finished some university work. So I hammered this out on Wednesday!
This is Felix, who had a small cameo in my Machete MAP part! A lot of his character revolves around feeling disconnected from his people's culture, but it's kind of a weird situation because typical midmiths are stolen from their home at very young ages and as such aren't really connected themselves, but still sort of end up creating their own culture. Felix feels haunted by the spirits of fallen midmith soldiers throughout his life, though shuns any connection to them because of his own hangups. It's a whole thematic tangle.

I'm currently working on a brand new story project which I'm so excited to share further details for once I've got my plot summaries finished. Will hopefully join some more OC MAPs in the future so I can show everyone off...
Anyway, the characters featured here are Jaromir (lion creature), and Yusei (owl guy), with a brief cameo of Felix (canid roo thing). Machete is very much a song I associate with Jaro and Felix specifically, but the part I got specifically called for some Jaro focus.
Anyway, I loved this concept so I simply had to pitch in. It was really fun to work on!! It was nice to try a bit of limited animation again even if it isn't excessive, I think I'm on the road to being confident enough to do full animation again soon.

Wow, I haven't made one of these in a while, huh? Admittedly, I had a nightmare of codec issues to work through, but I decided to actually man up and give it a try this week, and what do you know? Results!
This is a recording of a full piece I made last week for a gift exchange for PARADISE RISING, a roleplay group I'm a part of! These three are Pidge, Calypso and Everett. They were insanely fun to draw.

It consists of six pre-planned chapters, culminating in a finale, at which the roleplay will end permanently. Acceptance is limited to a single opening.
Special thanks to Oculus-Moon, TheNorthstar2014, and MatchaaTea for help with the art. And thanks to creamyjam and Alceondaze for the emotional support. :^) love ya both

Cruz is disgusted.
This is an OPEN LETTER to my fellow TPT/PR buddies to SPIN YOUR LEEKS. MAP closes after Sunday! Don't be a coward!
I'd be curious to see whether you guys prefer the original or this one! This one was made in After Effects which means a lot more of the effects were done manually. More time consuming? Yes. Way more versatile? Probably.
Also trialling my new end card with this part. :3 Let me know what y'all think!

Just as Pepper and Lucky were here to bring you Believer, now it's my turn to host a TPT MAP. While Believer was centred around the cats' histories as well as their time in the first three trials, Strawberry Swing is meant to be an epilogue of sorts, to finally tie up S1 for good. Yep, that's right, it's a post-Trials MAP! Probably could've told from the song choice, but ehh.
This is mentioned in the rules, but just for clarification: only the participants of S1 who remained in the group until the very end can join this MAP. As this will be focusing on the S1 vets, it only makes sense.
I will be assigning parts either tonight, tomorrow, or within the next few days! We'll see how turnout is first.
I do not own the audio. Fair use, blah blah blah. Don't smite me, YT.Bird Song - Hollyleaf MAP - Part 3Artyskepty2019-01-11 | And it's finally public! I had a good few editing battles with this one, but we got there in the end. I still have a deeply bad sense for how to make stuff look good when it comes to videos, but I like to think I've been learning.
oH MAN I had so much fun working in grayscale for this. Had a lot of ambitious ideas and managed to carry them out just about as well as I could! I'm very very happy with this part.
Featuring: Klaus, reflecting on his solitary youth in the ruined city. With his parents murdered while he was only a kit, he had to turn to other means to keep himself alive, exacting revenge on his parents' murderer and employing himself to the brute Bashka.
Characters by order of appearance: Janus, Calline, Klaus, Bashka, Zeno, Rocket, Scorryce
Man, I had a lot of fun doing this. It's my first completed MAP part since I started using After Effects! As a result this was probably a slight springboard in order to get used to the program, but I'm very happy with it nonetheless. :)
Featuring: Caya and Shale, watching a glorious sunset on a scorching day. Perhaps... a little too scorching.
Got another MAP part coming up! Hope y'all like.
SENDSPACE LINK: sendspace.com/file/ga7dofHANDCLAP MAP // PART 8Artyskepty2016-11-05 | UPDATE: in light of the new deadline, i might make a few changes to this!
for Jack!
i, uh, went through a ridiculous amount of trouble to get this finished in time. i started it in flash, and i was making good progress until my laptop decided it no longer liked running flash? so that got all lost, i guess. resorted to paint tool sai and rushed to get it finished. ALSO SAI BROKE LIKE FIVE TIMES, AND HALF MY FRAMES GOT CORRUPTED??? this is a cursed map part.
actually kinda proud of the finished product, considering.
this was... horribly rushed in order to get it done for the deadline. i'm not sure what happened with the sizing, but i'm willing to fix it. added in some green for chroma keying at the end too, but i can take that out as well.
