Its been a while since Ive posted a speedpaint, so heres Neferon from Curse of Strahd! Ive mostly doing illustrations over animations lately so I decided to record my process with the csp timelapse feature. Ive been drawing a lot of stuff for D&D lately so if you want to see more of my Dungeons and Dragons content, let me know in the comments! I have a few animations and animatics that Id love to share
If you like my work, consider supporting me on ko-fi! https://ko-fi.com/ebenrosetaylor Im opening my commissions publicly soon, so be on the lookout for that!

[ID: Digital drawing of Neferon(he/it) as an enfield (from irish mythology); the combination of a red fox, grey wolf, vulture, and 1% raptor. His legs are grey wolf legs spread widely apart, his tail is a raptor tail with vulture feather patterns swooping to the right, his head is a red fox with scraggly facial hair feathers, and vulture wings are sprouting from the mid-upper arm to its pinkie fingers. The patterns on the wings go from orange to brown to black with tiny white spots. He is wearing scholars robes from Bloodborne, in various states of disrepair. A gray collar pokes out from under his black vest. He wears black pants that are cut off at the knees. The shirt sleeve on the right is completely torn off with frayed strings sticking out, and the other sleeve can be seen completely rolled up. He has a long overcoat with a red trim, the long sleeves roll down to its shoulders due to gravity. He also wears a small pair of circular yellow glasses that hang loosely on his face by a golden chain. He is holding a glowing crystal ball in his left hand, emitting a faint white light on his body. The orb shows the faint image of Strahds furious face. Neferon is laughing maniacally, his head looking at the ball and head tilted away from the camera, licking his face with his long tongue. His right hand is lifted high and his clawed fingers are curled in various positions as he casts magic on the orb, his feathered wings are spread out and are magnificent.]")

The Multi-Michael Animator Project is a Multi-Animator Project (MAP) set to the song “I’m best friends with my own front door” by Bill Wurtz. This MAP is a love letter to all Michael designs. It encourages experimental styles, transitions, and your own Michael headcanon. Yes, that’s right! You have no restrictions whatsoever on how you interpret his design.
All forms of animation (2D, 3D, Stopmotion, Cosplay, etc…) are encouraged. This project will be posted on April Fools— We want you to have fun and being silly is definitely allowed.

4. I’m the postman and I’ve got cool clothes / I’m the neighbors and I’m wearing cool shoes
5. And I’m dreaming of a brand new world / And I’m hoping that it comes real soon
6. But I saw the sign, I saw the sign, it’s a bad bad sign / it said- It’s not gonna happen / and-
7. It’s not what it seems / You’re not gonna-
8. make it / and it’s not meant to be
9. But f*ck them, I just climbed a huge mountain / But everyone told me I couldn’t do it
10. And I feel real nice because I’ve got lots of money in my bank account
11. And I walk down the street / People throw things at me
12. Like breakfast / And strength tests (oh this is cool) / How much can I bench press?-
13. (oh I am very strong) / Time to win some awards / I’m gonna-
14. Do everything that you’re not supposed to do / I’m gonna open to page one and then skip ahead to page-
15. Two / ‘Cause I’m hungry and Scared and I can’t find the Truth / So i’m leaving / Oh, there’s my balloon
16.Over the trees and under the bridge and over the town / I’m gonna tell you the things I’ve been feeling out loud
17. And they changed all the rules and then I wrote them all again / That’s how the game begins
18. Oh, that’s how I get home again
