I'm in a love-hate relationship with MAPs, honestly.
---
First of all, I'M SORRY FOR BEING SO DANG LATE. My motivation levels are all over the place - sometimes I feel like animating, but most days I don't asdfghj (lol this is why I shouldn't join MAPs but I do it anyway). BUT I FINALLY PLUCKED UP THE EFFORT TO FINISH THIS HOLY MOLY THERE'S A HUGE BURDEN OFF MY SHOULDERS
Also, the Tigerstar MAP part is coming soon! I've done 50% so far, I just need to finish the rest of the lipsync, which may take a while since there's so many frames. But I'm DETERMINED to finish!
---
This didn't turn out quite how I wanted it, but I'm still kinda proud of it. If you compare this to the WIP I posted a while ago, you probably noticed that I removed a few scenes, only because I thought there was too much happening and it was too fast to see.
I'm just glad this is finished tbh xD

--- This is basically how Noah finds Cornucopia (a whole different world full of plant people). Somehow he thought it was a good idea to travel overseas on a tiny boat. You dun goofed Noah.
The watery part at the end didn't quite turn out how I wanted it to, but hey, I tried.
--- Ahh it's nice to get this done and off my shoulders. I just finished college a couple weeks ago, so now I've got a nice 3-4 month holiday and waiting to start university in September! I'll be studying Animation & VFX!
But in the meantime, I've been working on my story, Cornucopia! If you don't follow me on DeviantArt or Twitter, you might've missed the announcement that I'm turning this into a WEBCOMIC, which will (hopefully) be released sometime in August!
Right now, I'm writing the story script and I've done 3 chapters so far! Once I get the hang of writing and have a good sense of how I want the story to go, I'll start thumbnailing and then we'll get to making the comic itself. Oooh the future is exciting. :3c
--- Stuff I Use: - GIMP 2.8.18 (drawing/animating) - After Effects CS6 (editing) - Wacom Bamboo CTL-460 Tablet
I'll be finishing up the storyboard and hopefully start doing the lineart!
I've never done a proper livestream before, so I might be a little nervous. ;w;
Please be kind and respectful to each other in the chat! I want this to be a friendly atmosphere!Petunia - Melt AMV (Cornucopia)Calorful2016-07-24 | This is actually for my graphics project but I thought it was worth sharing. TW: Mild gore, death, implied suicide, strong language --- Here we have Petunia from my (developing) story Cornucopia! He's my poor beautiful flower prince. *sniff* OK he's not really a prince, but he is an artist! He makes glass sculptures. :'D Go here if you wanna find out more about him:http://calorful.deviantart.com/art/CORNUCOPIA-Petunia-602593398
And then we have some other guy! (I'm not saying who they are) You might've seen them before from this video: youtube.com/watch?v=vj3ZUfQcvnU&ab_channel=LotusTheTiger You can probably tell how much they meant to Petunia. Poor guy finds it hard to cope without them. :c --- ANYWAY now that it's FINALLY summer break for me, I can relax and do whatever I want aAAAAAA Hopefully I'll get to work more on my story now. ;u; --- Song: Melt by Chet Faker

Long time no see! :'D I always seem to disappear off the face of universe here, but hopefully this should make up for it! --- Here we have Babel, from my (developing) story Cornucopia! Ah, my precious boy, my pride and joy, my talented little dancer. *sniff*
Babel is a mischievous prankster, who loves to have fun and dance! He's also the king of (bad) puns.
I really enjoyed making this! (The colours messed up a bit but oh well) It was nice to animate my OCs, even if it's just a little meme video. You'll be seeing more of these guys in the future!
I'm still in college right now, but summer break starts on July 22nd! I'm hoping to make some sort of AMV/PMV during that time, or maybe I'll join an OC MAP? We'll see. --- Original: youtube.com/watch?v=g7kdSJ6Ba1M&ab_channel=LupisVulpes Inspired by: youtube.com/watch?v=Cva5_DoF2NA&ab_channel=ratwhisker Song: Nightmare Parade by Fake Type Programs Used: - GIMP 2.6.16 (animating/drawing) - Sony Vegas Pro 13 (editing) Wacom CTL-460 Tablet

(Contains smoking) I've been practising drawing humans a lot this year, and I've finally got a story idea that I'm currently developing! It's called Cornucopia! :'D For this MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=eHLW3X5SwKY&ab_channel=CallipeplaCalifornica --- Lyrics: "I feel down at every little thing, So all that I really need is just to have your love." --- I didn't get to feature this guy in my Can't Sleep Love video, so here he is! I introduce you to: Petunia Exserta! (Based on the flower) He was actually created this year, but now he's very much an important part of the story! (In fact, he's my favourite haha.) At the end of the video is another character, Hydrangea! She's Petunia's girlfriend.
I had a lot of fun making this! And I love the whole visual style and concept! I'm excited to see the finished MAP! :'3 If you'd like to find out more about the Cornucopia crew then go here: http://calorful.deviantart.com/gallery/58416808/References

For this MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=ZR-u-F01siY&ab_channel=xJaystarzx --- I'm not quite satisfied with the finished product, but hey, maybe I will be some day. xD I kinda rushed it at some point; I was just so keen to finish asdfhjgfh Also, I just realised that the movements of the last two lipsyncs are very similar, but I'm too burnt out to change it.
If you compare this to the WIP, you probably noticed that I changed the "I am that rare" lipsync. One of the reasons was because I thought there was a bit too much movement, (I personally didn't like it xD) and I wanted to get it done before new year, so I re-did it. --- Programs/Tools Used: - GIMP (animating) - Sony Vegas Pro 13 (Editing) - Wacom Bamboo Tablet
Frames: 151 Framerate: 25fps on ones/twosMeet Me In the Woods - 48hr MAP - Part 11Calorful2015-07-03 | AAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S DONEEEEE Lol I'm 10minutes late oh well
You can tell I rushed it at the end asdfh Now that I look at it, I think the lipsync was a bit off. Ahhh poop. XD
Dang, why does my style always look messed up whenever I animate? There's so many ugly frames in this oh my gosh. XD And I got a little lazy near the end, heh.
Agh, I'm sorry I haven't uploaded anything for so long, school has taken a lot of my time. I've got my REAL exams coming up in about 6-7 weeks? So I really have to focus on my studies. Whether I like it or not. v_v
And because of that, I won't be joining any MAPs for a while. More specifically, Warrior Cats MAPs. I dunno, I'm not really interested in it anymore, and I kinda wanna focus on my own personal stuff - I wanna make my own story and use my own characters! Warrior Cats will always have a special place, but I just want to be original. ;o;

Wow, I added a bit of shading. I probably won't do that again though xD

Eh, I don't really like dwelling on bad memories so I'll try keep it short.
I've always been a shy person for as long as I can remember.
I didn't have the best experience when I first started high school. I was a dumb, naive kid who didn't understand how it REALLY was in high school. I thought it would be like an adventure, full of new discoveries and lots of new friends to make - wow, how wrong I was.
I used to get teased a lot, picked on, put down by others and outnumbered. It's funny how bullies always come in groups. I can still remember some names of the people who used to pick on me.
I'm not sure whether it was because of my race, or because I was an easy target. I never tried to fight back, I just let them have their way. Whenever I went home, I just sat in my room sobbing, keeping my feelings to myself. I always hated going back to school the next day.
Those moments must have really done something to me because from then on I just became some kind of expressionless, unsociable loner. I never talked to anyone and even now I don't. I just find it really difficult to talk for some reason. As much as I'd like to, I just can't. It's like my mind and body are out of sync.
---
But I guess the worst is over now. Somehow I made it. I'm in my last year of high school and I'll be leaving in 5 months. It's not that long, so I can wait. I'll have more freedom to choose where I want to go, so hopefully I'll meet some nice people in the future. ;u;Warrior Cats MAP - Joan of Arc - Part 2Calorful2014-08-09 | This video doesn't make any sense at all. XD I'll let you interpret this, but I'll say a few things below. I'm not quite happy with how it turned out, but at least it's done.
I'm really sorry about the quality, there wasn't much I could do to fix it.
- Pink colour symbolism = love. - Blood has been replaced with flowers to fit the "rough beauty" theme. - The flower is (supposed to be) a Forget-me-not. I'm sure you can work out the meaning behind this flower.
When I was midway through the part, I kinda lost motivation to work on it because I really wanted to do something else, but I forced myself to finish because the deadline was August 10th. I know that the animation looks a little wobbly near the end but I guess I couldn't be bothered to fix it. I'm really sorry about that.
