Every so often I animate for some reason, I don’t say that trying to be cool or witty, there is usually a reason but I get carried away and I actually enjoy animating? Wasn’t expecting to say that but here we are.

There is a lot that can be done with this but this is what i’ve got for today, opinions?

Updated Lemon and basically, I have finished him, his muscly nude lemon self anyway

Decided to keep with the original design of faceless lemon but added some hints at facial features to make it less plain-faced. It turned out pretty good, sunglasses can be adjusted and will be changed as it’s just accessory items, body is done though.

As mentioned I need to change up ‘old’ lemon so here is old lemon next to a potential newer one.

I decided to essentially make this version wider and slightly more muscular but have it so the styling isn’t as realistic.

Are the proportions a bit much? I think in comparison to the head it looks weird but otherwise okay I guess.

I’m thinking I might have to change up Lemon’s design currently and go with a more stylised version.

The realistic one I think looks great as it’s meant to be a realistic version of Lemon, I actually based this one after how I look irl by my various facial features etc and it came out pretty accurate, it’s safe to say however that under most circumstances Lemon doesn’t really suit this so I’d rather spare everyone and go with an alternate version.

Here are some drawn stuff to show where I could’ve taken this version, it’s okay but once again, just creepy, might be because realistic stickfigures don’t really work or either I just have one of those faces..

Messing around with the pixel effect, tried to create what would be like those horror games with that ps2 graphics style.

Didn’t come out too well but is so bad that it holds some value by that respect I guess.

Just bought this, expecting it at some point, looks dope af.

I should really order more stuff, I never do.

✨🍋🎉 5 Years on the Stick Nodes Website 🎉🍋✨

It’s truly bizarre to say I’ve been committed to this place for half a decade, a chunk of my life, an influential one at that has been spent with you beautiful people. It’s had it’s ups and downs, particularly in my early years, lot of things to work out and whatnot but slowly slowly we have reached where we’re at now, it’s fantastic not just my own journey but all of yours too. Being able to share a variety of great and not-so-great moments with you all really means something to me so I can’t thank you all enough.

🔜 What’s next? 🔜

Well, as it stands you all know the SNU is an on-going project and well.. ha, you know actually I can’t say much, or moreso I don’t want to.. yet. It’s still early stages but soon enough something cool will be coming your way and we can ALL work on the SNU together one way or another, making a really special fantastic world, the world of Stick Nodes, our world. It’s got a way to go and so far it’s all talk so I’d like to refrain from feeding it empty praise right now, all I ask is bare with me and hopefully I have enough cool other side projects for you all to feast on:
– Site Log 2024..
– Little animations and art projects
– Maybe some more little projects towards the SNU
– Test music tracks for the SNU
– Character showcases for the SNU etc
We’ll see..

Some final words of the 4th year

Can’t say too much more without trying to squeeze too hard on being too sentimental and mushy so I’ll spare you, it’s been a helluva time and I look forward to our future together. See you guys around, Stick Nodes 2024..

( Current profile picture as of the 5th year anniversary, below )

SNU Groups currently under management and so I’m just going to post this here.

I thought I’d add a little something to the deficit in content for however long it’s been and get your thoughts and opinions on some designs for ‘ Lulu’s Restaurant ‘. This location has been for consideration for well over 2 years now and currently to get the ball rolling we’re deciding on a logo to use for it, let me know which one you like best, top to bottom, 1 – 5, which is your favourite?

( If you have any suggestions whatsoever I’d love to hear them as well as maybe why you choose to pick your selection of logo )

Alright so I just done a reasonably big clean-up of my groups, friend requests etc etc and to bottom-line this message, anyone relating to the SNU, SNCA, private or public, any group that reads ‘ 🚫 [ ᴏᴜᴛᴅᴀᴛᴇᴅ ɢʀᴏᴜᴘ ] 🚫 ‘ is as you can clearly see outdated so for future reference pay no attention to it as new group will take there place at least until I can really clean things up and delete some, given that’s even possible. I spoke to Ralph about it so we’ll see.

For now though keep an eye on any new SNU, SNCA groups etc, this mainly applies to the officiates and such within private groups but also to an extent, any public members of the SNCA and SNU groups too.

Actual bottom line

‘ 🚫 [ ᴏᴜᴛᴅᴀᴛᴇᴅ ɢʀᴏᴜᴘ ] 🚫 ‘ = Pay no attention, old group

Mostly applies to Stick Nodes Universe ( SNU ) groups.

Been a while since I’ve posted about the progress on the Lemon remake but I can say I’m really looking forward to being able to showcase this one off fully.

Yes, this is the uncanny realistic version but I assure you once complete and stylised the right ways you’ll likely enjoy it more. Even if not I’m kind of taking the approach of yeah this guy isn’t the best looking, he’s a little creepy and ugly but appearances are different for all people so taking that approach rather than everyone is a big-eyed beautiful anime character is more desirable to me.

For now enjoy the 70% complete Lemon right arm and a little animation I put together in less than 5 minutes.

Been some time since I’ve legitimately checked in here

Update on what is me trying to make a custom skin, currently have a little few drawn thingies for one but as of now am still trying to get it to work and figure out if the skin is even up-to-date ( likely no ).

The actual altered one is the one to pay attention to, the rest are a point of reference of what I see when I open the skin HD folder and I’m 75% sure it’s out-of-date.

In other news I’m still working on the uncanny ‘realistic’ lemon, it’s to my understanding that yes he looks odd but in many ways that I won’t go into right now I think it is a good call especially in consideration to the fact that unless going with up-close shots this specific facial-detailed version of Lemon won’t really be used too much and we can expect to see classic faceless sunglasses Ludwig J Lemon.

Messing around with a new lemon design / remake, added the option for facial features and such, it looks off for 3 reasons

1. The animation is crappy, I was rushing it

2. The shading and detailing isn’t perfected and needs work but still so far so good

3. I’m going for more of a realistic take at least from up-close then when zoomed out standard no facial feature lemon, by concept anyway.

So far I’m liking it though

These are the closest things I could get quickly to AI art lemon..
