Vrun the Gob Gob
A cute animation that only took +30hrs now!
As usual, it originates within the crevice of humanity known as the Nyxlabs discord server. It was just my usual afternoon, with dinner fast approaching. Playing some games, chatting in discord and the usual vibing and chilling.
Initially i was thinking of doing using some other Splinterlands monsters, such as Hungry Skull eating the (Ube) Vampire bat.
However a couple days ago, there was a user who made some pretty cool SPL fan-art. A level of which i hope to reach one day.
The epic drawing that inspired me to make this post was made by 
Basically, its always depicted that goblins have all the riches. Be it armor, weapons and clothing. At this point you would expect them to be wearing some, but nahh. Here's some commonly used excuses
Table-top Games
- Small body type
- No proficiency
- Stupid
Movies
- Underlings (They give the loot to the masters)
- Scared
- Prefers goblin stuff
- Uses some *(Usually rusted or worn-out)
But but there are exceptions that depict goblins as killing machines and a serious threat!
For me the Anime series that can give the goblins a proper spotlight is
Goblin Slayer Cover
Goblin Slayer is a great anime! Do note that this series can be very graphic and i only recommend it to adults and Doom Eternal players.
Going back to the topic!
Vruz from Splinterlands
Kinda looks like lemons?
At the time, i was sure yet on what to draw. After that smol talk with
BUT!
You see, i was listening to Chocolate and Lemons by Mitsukiyo from youtube. Its a very relaxing and adorabble bgm, then i looked the bag of gold that vrun was carrying/ Unlike the Piles of coins and the treasure chest. The stack he hauling behind him looks like a huge pile of lemons!
And the rest is history...

After Composing in adobe animate, i moved over to Krita to finish it. And convert it into GIF, if your asking why i didn't just do it in adobe animate? Although i enjoy some suffering now and then, i don't want my computer exploding or even worse.
Ending up with a Quicktime Alpha file that's over 2Gb in size. Even using the Gif format, you could easily be looking at 30mb. But the discord limit for F2P scrubs is 8mb-25mb unless the server is boosted. Grrrrrrrrrr!
