Painting with UMAMI

Paglalarawan

I won’t really be reading the too much because I don't want to get paint on my laptop. Merch: https://umamimerch.com https://www.hexsystem.com Let’s talk less about my art and more about life in general, the news, advice etc. Can’t promise it will be good ~ but you’ll just get my mostly unfiltered opinion on things. FAQ~ Q: What is Safe Mode, and how long will it last? It's a continuation of Interface, with a different storyline and main characters. I will last as long as makes sense, or until I think it's had enough. It will be less plot heavy than Interface and focus more on interactions between characters. The soundtrack will be more minimal as well. The soundtrack will be released as singles, after each episode comes out: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1WXaS2SznEXL6pX2zyFmSg?si=d90a7d9fb70a48d3 Q: What is your inspiration? A: Music informed a lot of the decisions. Sometimes the story is formed around the music, sometimes the other way around. Music wise I like Boards of Canada, Lorn, Akira Yamaoka. Animation wise I am influenced by David Firth, and movies such as Ghost in a Shell. But I also enjoy the dryness and humour of shows like King of the Hill. Check out my channel page to see a list of other animators I find interesting. Q: What does UMAMI mean? A: Umami (/uˈmɑːmi/), or savory taste, is one of the five basic tastes (together with sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness). It has been described as savory, and characteristic of broths and cooked meats. Q: What do I animate with, and do you use a tablet or mouse? A: Photoshop with Animator's Toolbar Pro plugin, Premiere, After Effects, Cinema 4D Lite. I use a Wacom Intuos3 PTK-640 that was previously owned. You can get cheap ones on ebay. Q: Do you make the music? A: Yes! You can find my music at http://hexsystem.com or http://hexsystem.bandcamp.com. Some musical tracks and ambience I make for Interface are available as a Patreon reward. Q: What do you make the music with? A: Logic Studio X, ASM Hydrasynth, Akai4000D tape machine. A lot o
