📝 the noat.blog ! Figured I should put this up here eventually: I have a blog! (and just refreshed its look!) Every now and then I'll write about stuff for the heck of it. This'll also act as my nexus point of links, in case you wanna visit my art archive or find me elsewhere :)

Grant your applause and enjoy the show as the great Illusionist Zoru takes the stage, with his many tricks and almost unpredictable magic! 🪄

He looks spiffy in this ability! Truly a magician's look. The idea behind this one is obviously magic tricks, but also a bit of randomness to his moves, so that it plays a bit more into his subtle nod to poker cards and those card tricks.

I also, of course, have to shout out the wondrous @cubivor.bsky.social for the idea from our trade. I adore the idea of the suit being part of his pattern, and it was just too good to not expand upon. The key art is a nod/continuation to her piece! bsky.app/profile/cubi...

Animal buddy trade with @noatpad.art! Getting to design an ability concept for Zoru was an absolute blast, thank you for letting me cook with him a bit ^-^

So this month kinda messed me up, BUT if I can cut back on the extra drawings I do for each ability, there may be a chance still (how dare those health scares tank my productivity)

Danny!@noatpad.art

I love making Zoru abilities, but my already-slow pace in making them tanked hard. Sooo in my attempts to make October the month of Zoru (which I completely forgot to do something for last year), the next 4 Saturdays I will (hopefully!) put out a new Zoru ability each week! For now, I will tease

I technically have all but one design on solid ground, I just need to book it to get a ref sheet and key art done for them on time. I still wanna do this little endeavor rahhhh

we don’t use generative AI, have hand drawn 2D animated sprites, AND our game is coded by a bearded canadian guy with glasses so you be the judge of that

⚡ Volt Zoru! The red star will get a zappy, yellow look when you combine him with the Spark ability!

@noatpad.art

It's rather simple by its look (though still tricky to hone down the design), and also a bit familiar, which is intentional! I kinda love how a few Kirby abilities pay homage to other characters, so I wanted to add a little of that flair with a Zoru ability

Hey #PortfolioDay! I'm a 3D animator with a love for animating dynamic characters and cameras. Got a new highlight reel of a handful of stuff I've worked on over the years!

@noatpad.art

So the first Zoru ability will be a bit late after all! I've been dealing with some health issues recently, so those have taken some of my time and focus away. But it is still in the works (and I promise that I'm fine, I swear)

(Sorry, a friend typo'd my name is denial, and I think that's too funny to not use)
