Sera | The Sun
2/3 tarot card made for @dragonageannual.art ✨

#art | #dragonage | #dragonageannual

illustration of Sera from Dragon Age Inquisition as the tator card The Sun

the illustration is bright and playful but not overly saturated, a clockwise gradient going from warm orange and yellow tones shifting subtly into blues and greens in the background.
sera is a pale blonde elf woman with freckles, looking to the right, holding a flat white bow and arrow, getting ready to strike. behind her head is the white sun framing her face.

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.

I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.

If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :)

castpixel.itch.io/animevox

the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!

I love Tyranny, she's my favorite sleep paralysis demon
#art | #criticalrole | #criticalrolefanart

illustration of Tyranny from Critical Role kneeling and praying
She's a bubblegum pink demon with freckles, yellow goat eyes, long white hair with short bangs peeking under the hood. She's wearing a teal and white dress with the Candescent Creed markings. She's positioned between stylized pillars, kneeling, pink heart shaped tail curling around her body, laying in front of her. Behind her is the symbol of the sun carved in stone
She looks calm and happy.

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.
