May Recap!

Welcome welcome to this month’s newsletter! Let’s get this show started:

JumpHero Third Anniversary

Text that reads 3 Year Anniversary. Uptop, Downlow, and Princess are posing below it.

JumpHero turned 3 years old on May 14, wow! Pretty great to see how long it has lasted. Anyway, there were a couple things I did to celebrate this anniversary.

JumpHero: Beats to Save the Day/Fight Bad Guys To

Parody of the Katamari Fortissimo Damacy album cover, but Poppy is rolling a ball with Squiggly on it. The Tree House, Esper City, and the Skylands are in the distance. Two creatures that look like large bears are looking at Poppy and Squiggly. A large rainbow is in the sky over this whole scene.

Here’s a special playlist to celebrate these three years! It’s a playlist of very awesome songs from very real games. I've actually been working on and off on this in private for way too long, thinking it would be maybe cool to finally share, maybe.

Listen on Spotify and YouTube.

The Bodoblock OC Guide

The Bodoblock OC Guide Yaaaaay :D. So, you wanna make an OC? How do you do that? Don't worry, this isn't some closed species with insane rules or anything like that. Feel free to do whatever you want! But, if you'd like to be close to canon, here's some suggestions:

Fun little activity you can download on Ko-Fi for free :D

Season 1 PDF

JumpHero Book 1 cover. Uptop and Downlow are surrounded by a crowd of various characters from the series.

It was about time I make something like this. Now you can read all of Season 1 offline! Enjoy!!!

Available on Itch and Ko-Fi.

JumpHero Art Collection

JumpHero Art Collection book cover.

Okay this was an awesome project to work on so I hope some of yall check it out! It’s an artbook detailing my experience working on JumpHero for the past couple of years. 70+ pages of sketches I dug up from under my bed, key art from all over my PC, and commentary about how I made all this. Plus the graphic design is really damn good like seriously I think its worth the price so please buy it.

Now onto other news:

New YouTube Channel

@Marlene_Santos YouTube channel

Hey so I realize since I wanna do animation professionally I should probably put my animations on a channel separate from my memes and other stuff. So yeah go follow me at my animation channel!!

Dog with OCD and Psychic Powers Too

And while you’re checking my new channel, check out my new animation!! (if for any reason the embed above doesn’t work you can click here)

(P.S. in case anyone saw this short already and is confused, this was originally posted to my personal YouTube, but then I realized this is portfolio material lol, so yeah I unlisted that and re-uploaded it here.)

How To Design a Good Comic Book Cover

Now this video is on my personal channel. Gonna use that for more random things. This video was my final project for my Graphic Design History class. Got convinced by my boyfriend that it would be cool to share publicly, so yeah enjoy! (if the embed doesn’t work click here)

I’m taking animation requests!

A work in progress

Hey so since my finals are done I am freaking still anxious and need something to break me out of the college mood. So, I am taking free requests for animations until further notice. Right now they’re just JumpHero related but ehhh maybe if you convince me I can do something else.

I highly highly highly recommend you send your requests to the JumpHero Discord server as I actually remember to look in there regularly. Plus it’s a great vibe there so please join even if you don’t have a request.

So yeah I think that’s all. Also here’s a plug for my Ko-Fi store please buy stuff on it

Check out my Ko-Fi Shop!

There is actually a JumpHero anniversary sale that ends on the 31st! Use code HAPPY3YEAR for 20% off on all items.
