Howdy! I'm Storm! I'm a 2D hand-drawn animator, and an enthusiast of most things animal and fantastical! :D --- Open For Work! --- Portfolio: https://www.faeriedragonstudios.ca/ Business email: faeriedragonstudios@gmail.com
When you visit your friend's place and they didn't tell you they have a roommate... --- A quick rough animation for myself between projects! :) Not done yet! But I think it's neat to see how artists build up their shots, so have a WIP! :D --- (Audio clip borrowed from Atlantis.)
(1/3) "For my 10 000th day alive, I visited an off-grid cabin in the cedar woods" in the hopes of seeing the stars the way people 10 000 years ago did - free of light pollution. A dense blanket of fog and storm clouds had other plans, unfortunately.
#artfight 08! Gotta finish up the event with a quick animation! >:D 🐦⬛zagiir's spellcasting raven Karji!🐦⬛ I love the idea of a typically-haunting witch familiar getting up to goofy mischief with nothing but frogs ahahaha Karji's the best xD
#artfight 07! Warrior Cat themed mass attack! >:D With a lot of creative writing and roleplay groups in the Warrior's community, I thought it'd be cool to make some character banners / headers! :D
#artfight 06! :D 🌄Silverfishy's anthro horse character Hugo!🌄 Hugo was said to enjoy exploring new places, hiking, and traveling! A weekend trip to the forested mountains in autumn sounds like it'd be right up his alley! :)
#artfight 05! :D 🌆doki_kalm's anthro opossum character Vexy!🌃 Getting above the city noise and neons at dusk. :) ...or if opossums are nocturnal, maybe the day's just getting started? haha
#artfight 04! 🦌Dexoro's DnD Cervan Fey Wanderer Ranger character Vyr'dak!🦌 Vyr'dak is taking a well-deserved break and some clover snacks while patrolling the wildlands for monsters, cutting them off before they can sneak towards his village! The town borders look calm today.
#artfight 03! 🍃Cerimarii's pet Louie!🍃 Louie was said to love rolling in the grass, so of course he gets a doodle of him doing just that in a flowery field! :D My pup used to do the same, but it was *always* the dandelions; it'd take ages combing the fluffies out of his fur xD
#artfight 02! 🌠Kwingle's warriorcats OC "Fidgetfire"🌠 Out for a walk under the night sky to keep StarClan close :)
Starting off #artfight with some cat doodles! :D 🌿LuminaryLynx's warrior cats OC "Pebble Flight" 🌿 She was described as compassionate and a good speaker. Perhaps she practices her speeches in the meadow with a butterfly audience :)
#artfight nears! >:D 🔎🌌I'll be on Team Mystery! 🌌🔍 I'm keeping an eye out for cool creatures to doodle or animate between jobs!🐉🪄✨

Colour scripts vs final comic pages :) I think my biggest artsy-win here was learning how to confidently colour pick for BGs without relying on layer blending modes. Having full control over colour & saturation (and the absence of them) was one of my main goals when starting 🧡

Passing (13/15) A mini comic about when best friends pass on, the passing of time, and the recovery of passing through. ---- "I come to agree with a phrase I used to resent: it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. We were strangers once too, you and I."
