Rhythm Heaven animation loop

DJ School Flash animation loop
A Flash animation made in the style of the DJ School game in Rhythm Heaven (DS). I was GOING to use this as an animated ID on deviantArt, but then I found out that the site doesn't let you use Flash for that, and then I found out that they don't even let you use reasonably-sized GIFs, and THEN I found out they don't let you use animated images at all. So... damn it. That's the entire reason I was doing this.

Oh well.
Here it is anyway.

Here's the specific game it was based on:

Doodles 15

 Doodles 15

Some miscellaneous doodles. Mostly just random characters that don't have any significance, though there is also fan art in there, in the form of Link from the Wind Waker and Shizune from Katawa Shoujo (top-center and top-right respectively).

Black Spot

Black Spot

Sienna got a Black Spot sent to her by someone she trusted and considered a close friend. She's expectedly broken up about this.
This is usually about the extent to which my cartoons get moody.

Blastronaut

Blastronaut

Quick fan art of Rhythm Heaven. This is the Blastronaut from the Shoot-'em-Up game. Thought she'd be fun to draw because of the space motif. I do like Rhythm Heaven's cheery and sharp-looking visual style (though this drawing doesn't look much like it).

I also recreated the music (with liberties) to go along with it.

Rhythm Heaven—Shoot-‘em-Up

A truncated rendition of the music for the Shoot-'em-Up game in Rhythm Heaven on DS. It's pretty repetitive but it was catchy. Mine sounds like a mess though.

Kanji Tatsumi

 Kanji Tatsumi

I wanted a pretty lively character to draw, so I drew Kanji from Persona 4. He's quite a character. And he also happens to be the MAN.

Persona 3 doodle

Persona 3

 

A really quick thing of Persona 3's silent and nameless protagonist.

I think Persona 3 and 4 win the awards for "most unbelievably surprising and uncharacteristic games for me to end up liking".

If you had described them to me on paper there is no way I'd play them. "A grind-heavy randomly-generated dungeoncrawler with dating sim elements that is dripping in Japanese culture with a J-pop-heavy soundtrack." Almost everything I would normally despise in a game.

It's honestly a miracle I like these games as much as I do. I think it helps that the stories and characters are extremely well-thought-out and genuine, and they have such a unique sense of style.

A lot of junk

I haven’t been very diligent about drawing much, and I’ve been even less diligent about updating this blog with them (as if anyone follows it). But here’s some of the stuff I forgot to post until now:

Doodles

Doodles 13

Spontaneous character drawings, two really old characters of mine (top-right), and Mulan, because I just got done re-watching that movie for the first time in a long time.

Doodles 14
 

Just a few small lame doodles: a couple Link interpretations, and the character on the right is for something a friend is doing.

----------------------------

Wario and Waluigi

Two of my favorite Mario series characters. These two are absolutely hilarious together and I wish they'd get a game (or at least side-by-side roles in one other than a sports game). Waluigi is especially neglected and hated on, but I think he's a really funny character. Everybody cheating but him!

Arrietty

A picture of Arrietty for EL, who I saw the movie with when it came out here in the States.

I can't do anything in Photoshop to save my life, seriously. I hate this background. I really need to find some good ideas to start practicing from.

Batman and Robin

Really rushed doodle of Batman and Robin (more-or-less based on their animated appearances, particularly the Animated Series). Meant as a really late birthday drawing for Gold.

I'm unhappy about how unpolished and lame this looks, but I did sort of blast through it without thinking much. Not my best effort.

Music

Fi’s Theme

Fi's Theme from Zelda: Skyward Sword. Some of it sounds wrong to me, I probably got some of the chords or harmonies wrong. Oh well.

----------------------------

Shady Neighborhood

For a game I'm making, when you wander into a neighborhood in the city that's dim and unfamiliar.

----------------------------

Storm Eagle

Storm Eagle from MegaMan X. I did this from memory, using no reference. I'm usually not nearly good enough to remember songs exact enough to re-create them without reference, but some of these songs got so deep into my brain I can sometimes do it.

----------------------------

The Legend of Groose

Just did it when I was bored. Groose's theme made in the style of the original Zelda overworld (in FL Studio, so it's REALLY technically not 8-bit).

----------------------------

The Master Sword

Just messing around with some instruments. This music is played when you get the Master Sword in most Zelda games it's in.

----------------------------

Zelda—Dawn

My rendition of the Dawn/Sun's Song from the Zelda series, which usually plays at dawn (and sometimes at will).

----------------------------

Geez. I really need to organize myself.until next time.

Animal Crossing sketch and music

Haven't been feeling my best, so Animal Crossing.

Animal Crossing 3DS Theme
A piano rendition of parts of the Animal Crossing 3DS game's theme. The original game's theme is my favorite, but this is second to it. It's very calming. I'm glad they brought back the piano as a focus in this main theme.


Animal Crossing Autumn

Yeah it's winter here but it hasn't felt like winter yet so. Just a simple sketch to calm me down. These are three of my own Animal Crossing characters; Curtis, Tony, and Desiree.

Doodles

Doodles 12

Haven't been drawing enough lately. So these are some real quick/mindless doodles during class. Oh man I was mostly asleep when I drew these.

Majora's Mask Link doodle

Majora's Mask Link Doodle

This is the messiest one yet. I was just screwing around for about half an hour. Very little thought went into this so it's a total mess.
