Now you, too, can watch a man's self-esteem crumple in real time w

Outside of that, it suddenly occurs to me that unless you were following me pre-2013, most people on this channel probably haven't seen my animation things? And to be fair, I haven't done much animation since I lost access to Flash circa 2015 or so—and this is certainly the most ambitious thing I've done since then!!—but it's nice to finally be able to share one of my Pencil2D projects w Please enjoy the spoils of my solid week of work w

That being said, there's definitely a bit of context to be had here. If you're active in the vocal synth community there's a good chance you've run across rice/rice_deity and their work at some point, whether through their PVs, ask blogs, webcomic world building, or other miscellaneous projects.

Back in September I had a dream that they'd come up with a new AU for one of their ask blogs and that I'd finally taken the dive and made my own blog to participate in the story line, which took the form of a decommissioned KYO android who'd become a journalist after a faulty voice chip cut their idol career short (you can find that original thread here: [ Ссылка ] ).

Except rice drew a literally iconic response to my KYO doodle ( [ Ссылка ] ) and I loved it so much I immediately started working on a talkloid for it because I Actually Make A Great Deal of Talkloids I Just Never Show Them™ and I really wanted to get a rough concept going for what Journalist KYO's voice would sound like (and here was the perfect opportunity ! ! ! ) w

and well i got to the mixing stage and then uni proceeded to eat up every single moment of free time i had so i had to put the project on hold (along with that one i teased back in december—which i'm finally back to making progress on, by the way!!)

But now it's here ! ! ! Frantically put together in the single week of time I had between finishing the ZOLA Pride Knight stickers (which you can find here by the way whoops: [ Ссылка ] ), working on the aforementioned teaser project, and deep cleaning our house for five consecutive 8 hour days.

Does this count as a proper ZOLA anniversary milestone? It does in my book! It may not be music, but I've got something to show for my effort and that's really what matters to me w. Besides—if I manage to play my cards right and my next year of uni isn't total hell, I should have something a bit bigger in store next year (which—incidentally—will probably be the last time I'll do an anniversary).

Either way—enjoy! Stick around to the end for a bit of bonus art, why don't you? w
