Progress Log - July 2016

Sunday, July 31st 2016 1:48 AM CDT


I always wanted to do one of those "growth drive" type things, except I don't really want to accept donations for something like this, so everyone gets a vote! It works like this:

YOU ARE A TINY FAIRY WITH A TINY MAGIC WAND

Your horde has been trespassed upon by cartoon foxes. In retaliation, your singular effect may be small, but combined with your fairy kin masses...

You can cast BOTH of two spells:

1) ADD or REMOVE 2 pounds total from any of the characters
2) TRANSFER 2 pounds amongst the characters

This will have EFFECTS, which will be drawn approximately a week from now:

- If characters gain weight above their normal weights, listed here, they will round out and fatten up.

- HOWEVER, if they go below their normal weight, they will begin to fill with HELIUM, and as they get closer to zero, gradually transform into inflatable pooltoys or balloons (I will mix it up if there is more than one).

- Below 0 pounds, they will begin to puff up and inflate as they gain lift.

You are totally capable of nullifying the spells of other people in a crazy battle to see which method of roundness wins on which characters. Extremely curious to see if people work together to obtain maximum effect, or if this turns into a crazy mess and by virtue of pure chaos, everyone ends up the same weight.

To vote, you may:

1) Reply to this topic on the Crimson Flag forums
2) Reply to the tweet that links here on twitter
3) Reply to any or all of the places I post this elsewhere

So essentially you can vote many times if you follow me everywhere.

I will tally up the TOTAL effect across all websites and draw the result next weekend!

Why only 2 pounds? Virmir and company are little foxes-- Virmir at 100 pounds is nearly double his normal weight. Plus I have no idea how crazy this is going to get, ha ha

Some example spells:

Add 2 pounds to Virmir, then transfer 2 pounds from Sierra to Virmir
Remove 2 pounds from Lucile, then transfer 1 pound from Lucile to Virmir, and 1 pound from Lucile to Sierra
Add 1 pound to Lucile and Sierra, then transfer 2 pounds from Virmir to Lucile


Edit: This is CLOSED now!

The next installment of Virmir-World begins now! Starting on this about, erm, two years later than I originally intended due to the whole losing arm functionality thing. But we should be good to go now!

The script calls for 66 pages, although I may make some adjustments as I go along as it is two years old and 2016 Virmir is even snarkier than 2014 Virmir. This is too big of a project to do alongside of Crimson Flag and also continue to take commissions and various other projects (must do more animations), so I'll be doing this story in chunks of about eight pages each, then setting it aside to do other things for a few months.

Trying some experimental shading on this page which may or may not continue throughout this story.

One of the more awkward parts of turning into a bug.

Going to knock out a few more of these alphabetical transformations from the list in the coming weeks.

This one is FrostedLight's fault.

Drawing these in random order... Will probably add a bit of exposition in the first frame to explain why Virmir would ever agree to this, he he he

%70-ish transformed

Or more successful than usual summoning spell, depending on how you look at it.

Doodle for Ryusuta!

I wanted in on her kobold thing but it turned out we wanted to commission each other, so an art swap made more sense, ha ha

Prequel to http://art.by.virmir.com/art/cycling which is probably 75% or so.

May play around with that bench a bit more.

The problem with enhanced belly size is decreased belly rub assault resistance.

I had made a comment on BuoyantBliss/Sebastos' drawing about goggles that hollow you out and turn you into a balloon suit thing being a fun idea for a transformation sequence and he immediately replied to make sure I didn't do without him and this immediately popped in my head.
