QRP with most popular art of 2025 so far

I'm really grateful for how well this animation was received, it's by far the most effort I've ever put into a drawing. Updated to include nolag's recent white ear tips detail and given an extra frame for animation smoothness!

oh whoops I put the reply on the first comment not the last 😅

to do it good so I think it was a good addition! Thank you for the nice and honest thoughts as always, I appreciate the time you put into checking out my stuff and writing such thoughtful comments on it 😊

have something done and move on. The best example I could give of the wiggly effect is raxdflipnote but it's a much different thing completely when that's stick figures and done for comedy. Overall I think the effect adds more life, the implementation could be better but I have to do it to know how

making the tail move instead. I probably could've saved myself some time and made them not wiggly in the first place but I just really like experimenting and I got to a point where undoing it would've been another hour of work and I was just so unsure how I felt about the effect I just wanted to

That's why GalVee only has her tail animated, I was worried if everything wiggled it would be too much and it would take away from it all, I wanted balance. And I figured since GalVee wasn't moving but tails naturally wag a little and them being a little further away from the camera I would try just

animated anyone not moving, who would've thought that would be so challenging of all things LOL) but I just didn't know exactly HOW to use the effect, what parts do and don't I make wiggly and how strong is the effect? Does the strength change depending on what part of the body it is? And why?

I love how the background turned out thank you, I wanted to give it my all with how cool of a reference I was going for! Surely he'll get that perfect circle soon enough 😅

Honestly I appreciate some criticism on the effect, I knew the effect was good for making the animation more lively (I've never

probably something like a video game ost but in my mind I think it would be funny for someone so hype to enjoy classical piano music in their free time.

Thanks for the input, glad you like it! I was indifferent on the effect so I wanted to see what others thought 😊

Boku @bokunopika.bsky.social · 4h

Thank you nolag I'm happy you like it 😊 I wanted to make sure the background was on point for the reference I was making, it was fun sneaking little easter eggs in there! 🤫

It could be anything! I mean it's probably not high energy stuff like he plays at shows but who knows maybe it is 🤣 it's

Boku @bokunopika.bsky.social · 4h

Wanted to try something new and make things more lively so I added a slight wiggly effect, what do you think does it help or is it too much?

Boku @bokunopika.bsky.social · 1d

but these short loop animations give me good practice and I think I'm where I need to be for one of them. No promises I ever will make it cause I'm enjoying myself making small animations for everyone at my own little pace and if I tried something much bigger I'd be inactive for months probably 😅

Boku @bokunopika.bsky.social · 1d

nice little achievement to get a new best but I'm more interested in drawing stuff I like than stuff I think would do well. And the raichu animation has a special place in my heart for being the first big step in bigger projects. I've always thought about big ideas I don't have the confidence to try

Boku @bokunopika.bsky.social · 1d

Oh hey it looks like the pichu animation is now my most liked on both twitter and bluesky! Neat 😊

I'm gonna keep the raichu animation as my pinned cause its more ambitious but I'm happy a cute pichu animation took the title of all things!

I try not to think much about the numbers though, it's a
