🌈 BEEN A SON | COMPLETE PRIDE VENT MAP 🌈 @erlkremling

erlkremling HELLO HELLO HELLO! Despite pride month being past us, it is with immense joy that I present the FINISHED Been A Son MAP I hosted with @skullykings!

I feel like I worded everything perfectly in the MAP call description, so I'll say everything again!

Been A Son was written by Kurt Cobain as a response to misogyny and how girls are mistreated and blamed for their own mistreatment. Over time, the song has also been adopted by the queer community as many intersections and bits of relatability are found in the song, especially for afab people. The lyric “she should’ve been a son” is relatable to not only girls facing misogyny but many queer people as well. It could have many queer readings; perhaps a trans boy is closeted and resentful of having been assigned female at birth, wishing he’d “been a son” or perhaps a trans girl is facing mistreatment from her parents or even internalized transphobia — “she should’ve been a son.” Any afab of any gender, gender expression, or sexuality can relate to the feeling of extra pressure put upon them and perhaps the resentment for being afab.

With that said, this is a pride vent MAP where 25 queer participants expressed our anger, sadness, spite, and the hardship we've faced for being queer and show ourselves powering through it. A lot of pride MAPs, for good reason, show only the positive, wholesome side of being queer which is a good thing, I just wanted to provide people the space to use an activist song to express some more intense emotions that come with being part of an oppressed group. Minority stress and internalized queerphobia are real struggles we go through and it’s important to have an outlet for those things.

You are loved, you are beautiful, you are one of a kind, you are a fighter. Keep fighting on.

PUNK TACTICS // animation meme collab w/ @froschtee

erlkremling 2024-09-01 | a few months ago, my good friend @froschtee made a sketch animation meme as a gift for me and i loved it so much that i asked for the frames so i could clean up the sketches, in between to bump the frame rate up to 12, line, color, and edit it! i added a few extra things like the lipsync at the beginning and the bouncy bugs as an extra thank you to fros. it's not much but i hope you like it!

Fistula (Early Guitar Demo)

erlkremling 2024-08-04 | Hihi! I'm here with another guitar demo for a song I'm writing called "Fistula". A fistula is an abnormal connection between organs and this song is about a codependent relationship; in other words it's about a guy and a girl with an abnormal attachment to eachother.

LYRICS (WORKSHOPPING)
I'm getting older getting colder getting off getting wasted when I know I can't hold her
I'm a tumor in a tube a cancer festers in her womb thankless when I can't seduce her
I'm so scared not prepared yellow smoke scented hair I light a candle from her wares and burn her

I'm fiending for her sound, I need an overview
And baby with your touch, won't last you past curfew
Now there's a steam-hot crime in my overdose
So honey check my pulse, I'm going comatose

The Gastro-Endometrial Hereafter (Early Demo)

erlkremling 2024-07-31 | I know this is really bad but I threw together this short recording of a new song of mine, with vocals this time. First time harmonizing with myself; I took the simple route and did thirds. It was difficult to line everything up since I have no way of listening to the other tracks while recording and this is as good as it gets. The song is supposed to be unsettling and is about my severe stomach and uterus pains.

LYRICS
Broken heart and broken head
Sputtering lactose
If my brain's an ashtray
Your shit's menthol stained

I cannot break it
Glass paper, skinned bones
Think I won't make it
In uter-limbo

Expelled starved threadworms
From each gastric gland
My blood's run heavy
Smear it on your door

I cannot fake it
Wriggle and writhe I'm
A two headed gamete
Locked inside your walls

Porridge (Early Guitar Demo)

erlkremling 2024-07-06 | This song is less developed than Lonely Mouth but the guitar part is far enough along that I figured I'd share it. The only things I have figured out are the melody and the chorus, which goes "you'll never hear from me again, I'll never bother you again" and repeats.

This song is about hospital stays and eating disorders, full stop. Some lyrics I have figured out are "she keeps her eyes off me, in every day when I am weak" and "they stick a needle in, but I've got nothing left to drain."

I'm a bit nervous to share this one since I'm not sure about how it sounds but hope at least somebody likes it ^^

Lonely Mouth (Early Guitar Demo)

erlkremling 2024-06-29 | I know this won't get a lot of attention but I've decided I want to start sharing my instrumental demos while I work on my singing ability and get my hands on better things to record music with. This is the guitar part for Lonely Mouth, a recent song I wrote. The title is a play on a Japanese phrase for how difficult it is to quit smoking.

LYRICS
She sees I sink
She knows I'm weak
She thinks she can get away with herself
She's prism-green
She's nicotine
She knows I can't wipe her taste from my lips

My mouth mmm
Lonely mouth mmm
Lonely mouth mmm
Lonely mouth

He sees the brink
He forgets to think
He smokes until he can't remember the scent
He's out of time
He's out of rhymes
He's down in grime with his gangrenous mouth

My mouth mmm
Lonely mouth mmm
Lonely mouth mmm
Lonely mouth

VULTURE CULTURE // animation meme (gore)

erlkremling 2024-05-21 | spent a few days throwing together my own iteration of the vulture culture meme by the incredible wingedwolf94, featuring goathide of course ^^

i wanted to challenge myself by putting it in the format of a youtube short so i could practice animating with that limited aspect ratio... but as you can see, i reuploaded this as a regular youtube video because i don't like how shorts messes with the quality and i honestly like the tripled look of it, it adds a nice element of chaos mwahahhaha

GOATHIDE WALK & RUN CYCLES | process/tutorial

erlkremling 2024-04-21 | hello friends! for my animation i final, we have to do a walk and run cycle so i chose to do them of goathide of course! i also wanted to practice drawing backgrounds, parallaxing, and making characters feel part of an environment so i took full advantage of the opportunity -- i hope it looks ok.

i also included each stage of my animation process for a walk/run cycle that i hope can act as a kind of tutorial. if you're having trouble following along, i recommend slowing the video to 0.25 speed during the anatomy sketch section (cursed audio, i know), pausing for each key, and drawing those key poses in your style! no credit needed, i think it's important we learn from one another here. (heck, i also watched tutorials to make those cycles.)

rather sleep. | goathide animation meme (gore & fw)

erlkremling 2024-03-30 | here's another horror animation meme for you guys that i randomly decided to make on a whim! i worked on and off of it for a couple of days and finally sat down to edit it so here it is now.

this meme features my oc goathide and his daughter, beanfreckle and gives some juicy lore for once! a lykoi from a gang of cats not dissimilar to a clan (but more akin to bloodclan), goathide had a rough childhood; his mother sheltered him and had a strange attachment to him (symbolized by her paw/hand thing covering young goat's face) and his father's actions aren't shown here but he had a heavy disdain for his son so young goat was frequently beaten. he was born a runt extremely sensitive to sounds, smells, and tastes, especially involving meat. he refuses to hunt, fight, or consume meat at all -- he subsists on bugs. one day as a kid, he was so overwhelmed by sensations that he ripped a hole in his own ear out of stress which i show here too. as an adult he'd run away but the trauma of his upbringing (which i haven't even scratched the surface of) still weighs heavy on him.

goathide loves his daughter beanfreckle, though he is terrified of harming her the way his parents did to him. it also terrifies him that she looks so much like him since he's basically just a walking talking bad omen with a shitton of health problems. that said, most of this meme is very symbolic and not literal. it's just delving into the psychology of goathide a little, his pain both physical and mental, and his worst fear.

i'm not going to explain anything about this since it's extremely personal but this is just something i've worked on little by little whenever i needed an outlet. this is how i'm processing my trauma and i hope that by posting it, i help at least one person feel less alone. do not watch this video if you are in a vulnerable spot. i've made that mistake too many times in my life.

IN AISLES // BREEZEPELT (gore)

erlkremling 2024-01-05 | original by my friend @Dark-yard , i had permission to do my own version with some of my own twists and i've wanted to for a long time! i might do another one of these someday using different or original characters, though i had ideas for the power of three and went with that for an art school project. this was mostly finished for a month; i only recently added on the intro and decided to finally post it. overall this project was very fun, i love doing body horror :)

this is mostly just visual shenanigans but it could be interpreted as an au where breezepelt seriously messes up his siblings in ironic ways, or it could all be symbolic as they each deteriorate in ways that relate to their arcs.

GOATHIDE ICON SPEEDPAINT | 2 years of improvement!

erlkremling 2023-12-19 | hihi! this is my first ever speedpaint, it was honestly pretty fun and stress relieving so i hope to do some more. i had a very stressful finals week so i wanted to do something for myself before plunging back into map parts and owed art. my yt icon was overdue for an update so i decided to do that!

at the end i included all of my older icons i've made of goathide over the past two years to show some visual improvement. i'm pretty proud of the progress overall. i will definitely be doing many more speedpaints!

FAIRYTALE // BY TRAIN (blood) #animationmeme

erlkremling 2023-12-04 | this here is an animation i made for school a couple weeks ago based on my original story called by train! i won't explain the story, i really just want to see people's theories about it. much more is coming based on this project in the future so keep your eyes peeled for that!

i'm not going to say much about by train other than the human character is dead and this video presents two perspectives from the past (the human) and the present (the cat). i am really excited to see what everyone thinks and how people interpret the symbolism!

MILK IT | experimental oc palette map call [CLOSED]

erlkremling 2023-09-23 | Hello hello! In celebration of the 30th anniversary of In Utero, my favorite album of all time, I am throwing this MAP together! Lately, the MAP community has lacked flexible MAPs that allow for artists of all levels to experiment and show off their own characters and imagination, so I aim to do exactly that with this silly little MAP. Everything you need to know is in the short document, however luckily for you, I am willing to summarize!

This MAP is highly experimental and weird—I encourage weirdness! Feel free (I would love to see this purely because of the MAP’s inspiration) to find creative ways to include anatomical art. Though of course, you may do whatever you’d like with the palette and general vibe. Any OCs are welcome—anthro, human, feral, mecha… anything goes! Make the subject matter your own! I want artists first and foremost to go wild and just have fun—there is no final deadline, only biweekly WIP checks. Hope you consider; I think we can have a great time with this!

PROFESSIONAL WIDOW | original animation meme // HORROR WARNING

erlkremling 2023-08-26 | i wanted to do something with body horror and i wanted to draw crowfeather so here this lazy, ugly thing is. also just expressing some frustration. you can use it as an animation meme if you're so compelled, however please credit me.

the meanings behind the art aren't set in stone and you can take from it what you will; i'm not going to explain my thought process to potentially influence anyone's interpretation.

erlkremling 2023-08-13 | really bad and lazy animation meme for myself and @FunkyFresh_lana, tried my best. rotoscoped myself strumming and posed with my guitar playing a couple chords from the song so i could make it look like goathide was actually performing it. also i think i might be one of the only people to use the song as it was intended given the spicy lyrics. goat wanna be someone's bicycle seat
