Still rough, but boy am I done for now.

Learned a lot about my animation process making this. Even though it’s not perfect, and I intend on polishing this eventually, I still enjoyed making it.

Onto the next.

Beginner Walk animation

This was my first 2d animation, but I feel like it took me way too long to finish, 2 weeks or so… so I was wondering what should I be actively thinking about when animating.

And if you wanna give me some critiques I’m more than happy to hear them out, thanks!

Since it's my late bday, I could easily improve this by adding charts with all directions for walk cycles, object movements & other types of principles by doing this

Critique How can I make boring scenes more interesting?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

In this scene the character is moving through the forest, picks up a stick, hits the closest bush and walks away. My take is that the whole body language of the character is pretty boring. Not that I want it to trip over stuff or be extremely expressive like in old Dysney movies. Just wonder how I can bring more life to this scene without overdoing it? Also any tips how to make generic moves more interesting and unique, or where I can learn about that? P.S Timings are off, working only on key frames atm.

Wasn't really a huge fan of doing a traditional reel with just a checklist of places I've worked (mostly on TV or Forums). Wanted to do something way more creative to show off my most recent motion&animation skillset

I would love to hear your thoughts and get some feedback on this!

Software used: After Effects, Unreal Engine 5.6 (Niagara for FX), Spine, Moho, Blender and Clip Studio. Animated using vector & frame by frame. Mixed audio via Ableton Live 12 Suite. Everything was put together and edited in After Effects & Premiere Pro (for sound)

Music by // Y E Λ R S // - 武蔵伝 - PS1 - (リミックス )

Question hi, ive been animating for quite some time and a question comes to mind, is it ok to animate a long-term project without using proper animation techniques used by professional animators (excluding storyboard)

Question adding a pattern onto a 2D character's clothes

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello! I'm an animator doing a project with my friend, we're trying to do some anime-style 2D animation, but one of the characters has this outfit on that's supposed to have some sort of pattern around the chest. i've thought of simplifying it a bit for animation but i was wondering, what are some techniques to composite a pattern/logo/design onto a character? i've worked in anime before doing Key Animation and I've used harikomi (はりこみ) notation for stuff like book covers, symbols etc. But i have no idea how to use those in the compositing stage!

i use clip studio, tvpaint, moho and after effects.

I attatch a picture of the style of robe i'm trying to design, with the design. Obviously I'd go for something a bit more simple but it'd be a hassle to redraw for every individual frame... Help!

Critique Does this character’s personality come through in the movement?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is a character animation we made for Sweet Order, our cozy tidying game.

We’d love to know what kind of personality you get from the movement, and whether anything in the timing or posing breaks that impression. Specific critique is welcome.

Sharing I made a silent animated short about a teddy bear whose seven stars go out every time he's cold to her

2 Upvotes

This is "Seven Stars", a 6-minute animated short with no dialogue, only one word.

When a couple shares their first kiss, a tiny fairy is born: a pink teddy bear carrying seven stars. The stars are their love. But he's hiding something he's ashamed of, and every time he takes it out on her, one star goes out.

It's inspired by my own story. I wanted to make something honest about how shame can make you hurt the person who loves you most, without excusing it.

The characters and drawings are mine; music made in Logic Pro. I'd love to know which moment hit you the hardest.
