See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

I hate slumps.

All I do is sit in front of the computer watching everyone else have a good time while I just do/say nothing. Things to do, but nothing pushing me to do them.

Then I complain about it online.

Worse, I start over-speculating and considering things that would disappoint tons of people (and eventually me), like closing RC and Diaries so I don’t have to deal with so many things.

I also start feeling grumpy and start thinking negative things about my friends behind their backs. I also risk blurting those thoughts out loud because of how much of a fucking jerk I am.

Then I start questioning my art and importance. Is the fun gone? Am I really a sick and disgusting person? Do I deserve all this? The followers, and my friends?

Why the hell am I so angry and depressed?

“Didn’t you say in your blog that you used to use puppets?”

Time to clarify.

I’m not entirely sure what to call them.

Basically, one character is made up of 25-40 layers, and each one corresponds to a specific body part. So each part is can be easily edited or redrawn. I call them puppets because of how similar the format is to something like the official MLP rigs or the Double Rainboom rigs.

However, unlike those two examples, I don’t use Flash. So the rig isn’t vectorized, there are no symbols, and there’s no library of pre-made edits to body-parts.

Everything is rendered in Paint Tool SAI.

I’m not sure if these can be called puppets, but they do work similarly to them.
