tumblr tuesday: the adventures of algy
Hello! Happy solstice. What’s this, you ask? Well, it’s a Tuesday. It’s also the end of one of Algy’s adventures in Patadragonia. Who’s Algy? Algy is a friend-shaped accidental adventurer. In this particular part of his story, he helps a dragon with some mad dance moves join the circus. In Patadragonia. (Sound on for total immersion.)
On the morning of the solstice…
…in the faraway land of Patadragonia, dawn broke with a beautiful deep pink glow over the mountains, and ethereal mists shimmered up from the frosty plains. Algy was still dozing after his long, sleepless night under the full moon when suddenly he heard a most extraordinary sound, and at the same time, he felt the special cherry blossom which he had brought all the way from the magical Easter island begin to vibrate and sparkle on the cold, bare rock behind him…
There was no doubt about it: the moment had arrived…Algy knew that his little dragon friend was about to realize its lifelong dream at last, and although he was sure that he would miss the funny wee creature, he could not have been happier for his very special friend, especially as he felt certain that—so long as he kept the magical cherry blossom safe—they would be bound to meet again in adventures yet to come…
[The circus band is playing the “National Emblem March,” composed in 1902 by Edwin Eugene Bagley, in a version created by Algy’s assistants.]
Need more context? Take this cherry blossom back to the beginningorthe very beginning. And if you just want to listen to the sounds of Scottish seas, then this one’s for you.
Something VERY exciting has happened to Algy - a unique tumblr adventure which he never even dreamed of…
A wee while ago, Algy was approached by tumblr staff and asked whether he would be interested in appearing in a special “Tumblr Tuesday” feature on the staff blog… well, you can imagine what he said!
And this is one of the reasons why Algy’s adventures here on his own blog have been on pause the past couple of weeks… It wasn’t only because his assistant had to work in her garden, although that was true too.
So Algy sends his fluffiest apologies to his loyal followers for the absence of posts during the past couple of weeks, and hopes you will all enjoy this video conclusion to his recent adventures with his dragon friend, which by agreement was premiered @staff and not here on @adventuresofalgy
And he sends his fluffiest thanks and hugs to Loll and Ben
p.s. Algy says be sure to turn the sound up for the video…
LIKE, COMMENT AND SCUBCSRIBE TO MY TWITTER AND INSTEGRIM FOR MORE *-*-*RADICAL*-*-* DOODLES AND ANIMATIONS (insert Guitar Riff here)
SHOW SUPPORT TO ALL THE LOVELY ARTISTS OUT THERE TOO, THERE ARE LOTS OF THEM, AND YOU SHOULD LIKE AND SCUBCRIBE TO ALL OF THEM.
Specially since algorithms are so mean to us artists.
An artist can spend 10 hours on an amazing piece and have it get less likes and views than a guy talking about how his burrito tasted kinda funky. To be fair, burrito guy was probably pretty funny, but like, art, you feel?
Oh, and if you’re an artist and you reblog this, you should totally link your Instagram and Twitter! I wanna see your cool art that probably got less love than it deserved despite being better than some guy’s rant on Pepsi that went viral or something.
Relearning how to use flash/animate. Still feels weird and intimidating, but at least it didn’t crash on me. Borrowed shion_aquino’s OC, Owen Rose, and animate him in an FNF style.
An ink doodle of my dear friend @javajuliette who is a fearless adventurer of the heart and soul.
Oh! Never posted the final version of my horse here!
