Tahno Week day three: teamwork.

Tahno Week day 2: Water.

Tahno Week day 1: Dream.

Drew this a few weeks ago and was eeeh about posting it because not my best work, but I think the tahsami tag could use some love.

The making of this.

I’m so thrilled this gif was popular. (omg Bill Rinaldi? Sempai noticed me!) There seemed to be a bit of confusion as to how I did it or whether it was “real.” So sorry if anyone was fooled, I would have made it clearer but I didn’t realize how convincing it was! You know how it is, when you’ve drawn it all you can see are the glaring flaws. x___x

But anyway. These are some progress shots from how I made it. I could go into a more detailed description of the process, but it’d be really long, and boils down to: Step 1: sacrifice goat to Satan. Step 2: draw for many many hours.

(No progress gifs of Tahno because he was pretty simple—just a pan and blink. The interesting part of him for me was the costume design, which is ridiculous and not very animation-friendly, but suits him.)

Done in Photoshop CS5 and Jasc Animation Shop Pro.

“And that had better not be Naga you’re wearing.”

Some days are crap and you just need to draw Tahno in a hot lesbian sandwich.

Can we pretend I made good choices, which consisted of things like not drawing this.

Cry cry cry.

“You look like you could use a puppy too, Ming.”

“You’re my puppy, Tahno.”
