Big shout out to @FulcrumStardust for creating the AMAZING backgrounds! Couldn't have finished this part without her help

In other news, ya gorl has officially started her first full time job (I actually started the last day of Artfight aha)! I work as a video editor/motion graphics artist for TV commercials now :D Alas, the work grind definitely played a role into this video taking awhile to be finished but I wanted to get something out for you guys regardless. Enjoy!

Find me elsewhere through Linktree: https://linktr.ee/stargeek127Parallels of Petals | Senior Art ExhibitionStarGeek2023-05-12 | Hello! Long time no see!
Things have been quite hectic on my end during my last semester of college and I just graduated with honors last Sunday - receiving my BA in Graphic Design and Minor in Animation! Uploads will continue to be sporadic as I aim to work contract in motion graphics for next few years and see where things take me from there. It's crazy to believe I started posting to this channel as a senior in high school and now I've finished college!
Without further ado, I finally present the project that kept me occupied for the majority of my spring semester - Parallels of Petals! Another installment in my original series, Crux of Thorns. This short piece was presented at my senior art exhibition, running in the student show from the end of March to the end of April.
Here's my artist statement featured in the show: (*Side note, Flower has now been renamed to Fresia!)
"Our protagonist, a she-wolf by the name of Flower, wakes up in a magical, mysterious dreamscape filled with the memories of her life so far. Exploring this whimsical place, she looks back on cherished memories and less than pleasant ones; and learns how to confront them and move forward with her life. At this point in the story, Flower has achieved much deserved time of peace after years of conflict, but something is still holding her back - her past.
As a graduating senior, being okay with change and the fact of growing up is one I have often found myself struggling with. I aim for my work to reflect my inner conflicts and feelings in a representative manner as I feel thatβs how an artist can truly connect with their works. Others can view my piece and realize how change and growth is good for the development of oneβs self. Flower realizes by the end of her journey that the only way she can go is forward. She is no longer the young, lanky pup that spent her days innocently playing alongside her siblings - sheβs been through many hardships under the main villain, Krenikβs, conquest. Things wonβt be the same for her and her remaining family but thatβs okay.
Storytelling within the slowly reviving realm of 2D animation has been one of my main focuses throughout my artist journey. Parallels of Petals is the newest installment to my original series Crux of Thorns. The story centers around two sisters and their quest to find each other and defeat a spreading evil together. I have produced several works for this series throughout my college career and plan to continue so after graduation. I create all of my works for this series digitally, utilizing the wide range of Adobe products as well as freeware like FireAlpaca. Crux of Thorns has come a long way from the creation of two characters for a WolfQuest role-play forum in 2015 to now its own animated story nearly a decade later. WolfQuest is a 3D simulation game where you play as wolves in Yellowstone National Park. There is a multiplayer element to the game where many role-play in the game chat and on the online forums.
My inspirations for my work in 2D animation continue to be my fellow peers in the online animation communities as well as more well known animators like Aaron Blaise. Seeing others my age create fantastic works in spaces like YouTube inspired me to begin to animate seriously and take on my own stylistic choices. I often animate on lower FPS (frames per second) as an aesthetic choice after admiring the works of Amelia B. This allows for extra emphasis on movements. Additionally, Aaron Blaise brings a lot of influence as an old school Disney animator. His work for Disney animated films were a big part of my childhood and sparked my interest in art overall. I continue to appreciate the work and animation lessons he puts out on the internet for other artists to consume. I hope one day for my work to inspire the next generation of animators and encourage more people to invest in the genre of 2D animation."

Original MAP Call - youtube.com/watch?v=MXd8JlBQ8dUDaisies | Parts 3 & 4StarGeek2022-08-27 | Thought Iβd make my part public for CherryPicβs birthday hehehe π Happy belated birthday, Cherry!!! π₯³ I initially wanted to get the entire MAP done for her birthday but weβre so close regardless - only 3 more parts to go!
And Pynkie, my irl friendβs sona, finally makes an appearance after two years heh. This part is dedicated to my first experience with Amphibia! ~ STORYTIME ~ It was last summer and my friend was visiting for the week to meet my pup Fauna May for the first time. I remember it was raining outside so we were flipping through tv channels and Disney had the Domino 2 episode on. My friend was already a big fan of Amphibia so we watched it and that was the spark that got me to watch the rest of the series later on! I really binged the show this spring and it got me through some tough times. I truly cherish this frog show hehe.
Also yes this part contains an accurate depiction of my family room π Domino 2 is watching youβ¦alwaysβ¦ ππ
I purchased Procreate a little while back on my new iPad and Iβve been digging the automatic screen recordings it makes, itβs so convenient. I flip flopped a lot between iPad and computer for my attacks and it helped a lot with getting stuff out at a faster pace! I really enjoyed my third year of ArtFight, even if it distracted me so much from other work, lol.
I also want to apologize for not being able to get any uploads in for most of this summer, things ended up being a lot busier than I initially thought they would be. I do have a MAP part in the works thatβll be finished soon and hopefully a completed appreciation MAP (*smirks at CherryPics) by the end of the month! Stay tuned my lovely subscribers β¨
This video was edited on Adobe Premiere Rush and man it is super easy to work with, I definitely recommend it for iPad users!
Short and sweet part I picked up for Huitièmechat's newest 2 week MAP! Took me less than a day total to complete and I really appreciated being able to work on a small part after burnout from my school projects. Empty space is left for credits to be edited in the final MAP! If the boi in this video looks familiar from my last upload, that's because he's now the main villain for my series, Crux of Thorns. I think I'm settling on the name Krenik (inspired by Orson Krennic and his actor Ben Mendelsohn, I just think his voice is perfect for this character!). This will be my last upload until I return from my trip at the end of May, see you all then!

While I don't have any Star Wars content to share for today, I do have my final project from my motion graphics class to share! And you guessed it, it's my wolf OCs yet again! Keeping on trend with last May, haha.
This project was definitely on a time crunch with all the other final projects I had going on at the same time but I'm very happy with how it turned out! I chose to make a hypothetical TV introduction for my original series and finally made an official name for it! Crux of Thorns. Shout out to Paxhiecko for suggesting it. I had a lot of fun with the floral and color symbolism for this piece. This intro is heavily inspired by the Arcane tv intro as I really admired the camera work and composition from it. MAP parts will resume shortly after I return from a short study abroad trip (it goes from May 9th - May 25th) and hopefully I will have a complete appreciation MAP to post by then too! Enjoy and may the 4th be with you!

It was a fairly simple project of animating text to a conversational scene but it was fun to work on, I quite like how it turned out. I had to cut quite a lot of audio from my chosen clip, Obi-Wan and Anakin pause so much in this scene (dramatic boys lol). I'm just starting to learn how to animate in Maya so I may be uploading my next project from my 3D animation class! Hope these school works provide some content for y'all while MAP projects take a back seat for now. Enjoy!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday!
I'm trying a new upload format this time to see which my audience prefers. So let me know if you prefer uploads with multiple parts/progress or the usual single part upload (I usually do this so my video fits nicer in MAP part playlists).
Up first we have my part for Taikatalvi featuring my OC Iris and introducing her two pups, Eden and Caspian! So excited to show off the babies after all these years.
Now onto a second collab part I partook in for We Three Kings. Callow, Gilda and I worked quickly to get this done in time for the Christmas season! They both have uploaded the collab to their respective channels as well.

I'm currently busy with ArtFight this month so I thought I'd put together a nice lil wip dump so y'all could see what's coming soon! 3 of these wips are already several months old but I'm still excited for these parts nonetheless!

After almost a year of production, The Night We Met is finally complete!!! This project has been so dear to me and I am absolutely blown away by all of the participants' hard work. This MAP is definitely one for the feels, I've even teared up myself while editing everything together.
Please go and support each and every one of the participants, their art deserves all the love! (In order of appearance)

So this is where Iβve been the last month π Iβve had this meme envisioned since last summer and I was finally able to make it for my animation class final! A lot of tears and stress went into the process of creating it and although I had to cut out some animated scenes to save time + a few minor inconsistencies, Iβm still really happy with how this turned out!!! Except for scene 3 of the backstory omg I could not make that tween look less awkward lol. I really had a fun time with the βcolor-blockβ style I used for the backgrounds, man did it shave down on time!
ANYWHO, this meme is based around my wolf oc Iris and her traumatic childhood event. You may have seen her and her sister Flower in a MAP part of mine that explains a little bit into what happened. If yβall would like to have a more in depth analysis of the story, Iβm tempted to make a behind the scenes video that includes deleted scenes and concepts!
Enjoy! Iβll be back in the coming weeks with more MAP parts!
The theme of this MAP was pet appreciation so I featured all of my animals, both alive and deceased. Many of you who know me privately are aware that my beloved pup Maylee passed away in November - which had left me devastated but I've now recovered as much as one can and as this part is being published I'm on my way to pick up my new puppy, Fauna! I'm really excited to start this new journey with her so I decided to release this part ahead of time (the MAP call is still early access) to celebrate her arrival! Bean (darker hedgehog) will definitely not be happy to have another doggie sibling, though XD _________________________________________________

Made it collab with my lovely friend and host of the MAP, Jules! She created the amazing backgrounds and spark effect! Go give her a sub if you haven't already! I thought this song fit so well with the Clone Wars finale so I just had to use this scene for my part. Also someone please take the soft shading away from me, I'm going crazy with it lol

Unfortunately due to the shorter timeline for this project, I was only able to do 2 lines out of the 8 line script I made. I do plan to finish the rest of this scene once school is over and then upload it along with the previous project in one video! The focus of this project was lipsync with minimal secondary movement, kinda like how older cartoon tv shows did it. I quite enjoy how this turned out, so cheers to another animation project finished! __________________________________________________
I am Star and not an imposter no I did not hire someone to do my description anyways I'm an amazing animator that deserves the appreciation MAP I have and the tweening I did in this is amazing and if the description doesn't say this I will get sued - Me being held at gunpoint by Wet to put this in the description (yes she really did copy and paste my description formatting for me bc I am lazy and on mobile writing this lol)

ANYWAYS, Iβm so glad itβs finally here for you to see because you deserve to be appreciated! You were the one to start the trend of appreciation MAPs and there was no way you could get away without having one of your own! We love you, Cherry!!!

So this is the school project I've been working on for several weeks and I'm so glad to finally have it finished! The focus of this project was walk cycles, thus making up the bulk of the video. I did a lot of firsts for this project, both walk cycles and the tail flick animation were very new to me but I'm overall satisfied for my first try! I also finally learned how to do camera movement in After Effects. Unfortunately, AE does not seem to like low frame rate animation (I animated on 6-8 fps, which was very fun and I'd like to do it again) so some of the footage may be a bit choppy. I'm definitely open to suggestions for frame assembly in other applications because I'd like part two of this project to be smooth in the editing stages! I also made an experimental animation style just for this class (I'll be uploading the character refs to my IG soon!) and I'm definitely gonna use it for the rest of the semester. Don't worry about my work just for YT though! I'll use my regular style, this new style is only to save time for the short deadlines in my animation class.
Stay tuned for project 2 which will be all about lip sync!
What do you think the story is about and any guesses for the next installment? Lemme know in the comments!
Adapted versions of Wetstar (known as Haze in this series) and Ecko belong to Wetstar Animations and Paxhiecko here on YT! Athen is just Athen XD Yes fission means something to the story, not just a play on words (kudos to Wet for coming up with it!) :p
HI HELLO, why am I always so late for parts in my own MAPs? XD Anywho, it's finally here and I am so happy to finish it! It's been a long journey with this part - including me pretty much resketching the entire part back in like November - but I'm fairly proud with how it turned out!!!
This MAP is so close to completion and I am beyond excited!!! Now to get the credits sequence done *scurries* _________________________________________________________________ Programs Used: FireAlpaca, Adobe Photoshop & Adobe After Effects Characters Featured: Padme Amidala and Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) Designs Used: Mine and Leucoves Song Featured: The Night We Met by Lord Huron _________________________________ My DeviantArt: deviantart.com/stargeek127β My Carrd Page (open for commissions!): stargeek.carrd.co/#β My Instagram: instagram.com/stargeek127Carol of the Bells | Part 11StarGeek2021-01-21 | For Spooky Paw's winter/Christmas themed MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=wRwM6m0zO1Y&list=PLpHUJMOw97K5wYvKz-7uaCWUYi4y3M9QH&index=4
I AM SO HAPPY I HAVE AE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN *dances* I had so much fun with tweening this part!!! I am also now posting this video with 20/20 vision, just had laser eye surgery yesterday and man it is fantastic!!! Went from a -3 to perfect vision O-O
Also HUGE thanks to Wetstar Animations for taking care of the backgrounds for this part, I wouldn't have been able to finish now without her help! Her Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCslR6twuAhFKe913RjHw0kw

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR OVER 200 SUBS!!! I cannot believe I've made it to this milestone! I definitely wasn't expecting much when I first started uploading but I'm super thankful to be where I'm at now!!!
The piece dubbed "Big Mama" is finally here after over two weeks of work!!! This is probably the most ambitious piece I've ever made at 24 characters being featured! Big Mama was intended as a Christmas present and then a New Years gift when the first option failed, but this piece ended up taking me much longer than anticipated, so I apologize to all who were waiting on this gift!! This piece was so big that I am thankful OBS was a butt and gave me a bunch of horrible footage because there is no way this speedpaint would've been shorter than 45 mins had I included all line art and coloring XD So yeah, this speedpaint kinda jumps all over the place but I still hope you can enjoy it nonetheless!
I tried to include as many friends and acquaintances I've made or become closer with over the past year, if you did not make it into this piece know that I love you all equally and it was totally not personal! I could only fit so many characters and I may have just forgotten! Again I am so thankful for everyone's support of this channel, I couldn't have made it to where I am now without you all!!!
(Also yes I had to make it space-themed for my namesake XD)

WOW, 2020 has been quite the crazy year for my art! I am so happy to have met so many good friends through the animation community and to have all the opportunities I've been given for MAPs this year! Not to mention finally hitting 200 subs! I'm definitely aiming to get more frame by frame animation done next year, just gotta keep pushing myself! A few parts have been excluded from my reel for personal reasons and a little piece of a school animation project was added in there too! (Also, yes my big mama gift/sub special is still coming muhaha)

This beauty of a MAP was born out of a conversation in a Star Wars server where we discussed how OOC Ahsoka is in the Mandalorian, so she clearly must be possessed lol
SO yeah, enjoy this sh*tpost XD

ILYSM ECKO, I hope you enjoyed your present!!! π
(Some of these shots were sketched all the way back in May so thereβs definitely a difference between the first and last shot but oh well heh) _______________________________________________
Okay can I just say how wonderful of a host SeaStarz is??? She is so patient and kind, seriously thank you for putting up with me, Sea! XD
ALSO, BLYLA FANS COME GET Y'ALL JUICE!!! The lyrics for this part really reminded me of Order 66 so I had to feature this tragic couple T-T Not 100% satisfied with the editing (stinky AE wouldn't let me tween much without glitches in the last shot), but man do I love how the shading turned out!

Again, huge thanks to FlamewingtheCat for doing the line art!!! (I swear I can do my own line art, I just piled too many projects on at once and needed some help ^^' ) His channel: youtube.com/channel/UCUMx2NFyyiwJjx4x4B__K3Q
A brief backstory on this part: These two wolf gorls are old roleplay OCs of mine and are sisters, Flower (reddish wolf) being the elder and Iris (tawny/gray wolf) being the younger. While Flower is obviously not Iris' mother, the two develop a bond quite similar to a parent-child bond after their parents were killed when Iris was a older pup and Flower a young adult. They were separated in the attack that took their parents lives and did not find each other again until Iris was an older teen. Flower from there took on the role as Iris' guardian and the rest is history! _____________________________________________________________ Programs Used: FireAlpaca, Medibang, Adobe After Effects Characters Featured: Flower & Iris (My OCs) Song Featured: Baby Mine - Alison Krauss My DeviantArt: deviantart.com/stargeek127 My Carrd Page: stargeek.carrd.co/#Parle Γ ta tΓͺte | Part 11StarGeek2020-08-18 | For Madame Ras' new MAP (there are parts still open so go snag one!): youtube.com/watch?v=45c9k9TSzb0&list=PLpHUJMOw97K7oLKSeQe6z6MZsEr05vJPy&index=23&t=0s
I obviously had to do an Anidala AU for this MAP's theme and this my first completed MAP part with humans so cheers to that! I would've been a bit more satisfied with my part had I not come across some difficulties with tweening but oh well, at least it's finished now!
My first Star Cats MAP is here and I'm so hyped for this project!!! And of course, it had to be prequel-based muhaha
A big shoutout to my co-creator, Leucoves, for helping me flesh out this idea and fangirl about Anidala with me XD She also made the gorgeous art and effects for the MAP call and several amazing refs!!! Her channel: youtube.com/channel/UCPt6LTVxQ9VcNyUASnoaioA
