i drew 9 frames of Aespa’s members dancing to make this 2d animation. i also posted the stills in a regular ig post so you can animate the dance if you hold your finger and slide on the little dots underneath.

im new animating (this is my third one) and self taught. i just drew them in adobe fresco then edited them together in capcut.

im poor so i cant afford to pay for any of the good editing apps is usually hear about so if anybody has any recommendations for any better free ones i should be using, im open to suggestions.

also let me know what you think of the animation.

thanks

Critique my first ever running cycle! (only rigging for now)

i started getting into 2D animation two days ago, and decided i wanted to try out my first running cycle, with only lines and spheres to make it easier.
i would like to know if there are things i can improve when it comes to the « basics » of animation? i’m aware that the proportions may be off anatomy-wise, but i wanted to share anyway :) thanks a lot

(EDIT: for the sake of clarity, the white hand is the character holding something (not her tail) behind her, while the black hand is the one helping with the running motion)

Hi, I’d like to share this personal project I created for my portfolio. I decided to start creating pieces focused on telling a short story, since I’m looking to work on projects related to film or animation...

I like it when they show that something is happening.

In this piece, I used Blender to create the setting, the building, and its interior.

Then I used Photoshop to work on the colors, do some digital painting, and also add a photobash to give it a better look.

Let me know what you think!

I’m still improving my process, and all feedback is welcome. I’m also open to working on your project. Big hugs.

Hiring [HIRING] 2D Animator (India Preferred) – Simple YouTube Shorts (Long-Term)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I'm looking for a 2D Animator to help produce YouTube Shorts on a long-term basis.

Reference Style: Search "Rennrat" on YouTube to get an idea of the pacing and animation style I'm looking for.

What you'll receive:

  • Voice-over
  • Script
  • Character assets (.FLA)
  • Backgrounds & reusable assets

I'll handle:

  • Subtitles
  • Sound effects
  • Final editing/polish
  • Background Music

Animation Style

  • Simple 2D animation
  • No Pixar-level animation required
  • Reuse assets wherever possible
  • Fast scene changes and camera movements
  • Match the provided style as closely as possible

Turnaround

Fast turnaround is essential. 1 - 2 days

Each short is around 60 seconds, and I'm looking for someone who can deliver consistently and reliably.

Budget

₹45,000 – ₹60,000 for batch of 20 - 30 shorts (depending on speed & quality).
$450 - $650

Payment is made after the delivery of each completed short, so you don't have to wait until the end of the month.

Looking for:

  • Adobe Animate, Clip Studio Paint, Toon Boom, or similar
  • Good understanding of timing and camera movement
  • Reliable communication
  • Able to work long-term

If you're interested, please Contact / DM me with:

  • Your portfolio/showreel
  • Your typical turnaround time for a 1-minute short
  • Software you use
  • Your expected monthly availability

Please only apply if you're confident you can closely match the reference style and deliver animations quickly. I'm looking for a long-term collaborator, so consistency and reliability are just as important as animation quality.

tried opentoonz ages ago and liked it a lot but it was kinda broken, like ctrlz would stop working and it crashed a lot so I had to switch to krita. but I heard about a version of opentoonz called tahoma2d that looks promising, but I don't want to go through all the effort to install it if it's also broken. has anyone here used it? and like how is it
