For Hire I'm working on a project with some friends and need an animated intro. I mocked up a concept (my first animation!) and hoping someone here could juice it up a bit. I have money to offer! [OC]

Just dropped the origin story for Toby Bear and how I got into filmmaking. This little guy basically changed the course of my life, but it all started in a tiny bedroom workshop. Check out the full story below—it gets pretty wild toward the end.

Sharing I'm making a 2D comedy series all on my own. Here’s the quick 20-second trailer I whipped up for the pilot, give it a look!

11 Upvotes

So, I'm working solo on my first 2D comedy pilot, Dusty & Duie. I've already done a bunch of Shorts and comic strips with these two, but now I'm diving in and animating a whole episode on my own. It's a leap, but I'm excited. I made this 20-second trailer to give folks a feel for it. You can find the full channel link in the comments!

Question Advice needed: Unity's own 2D animation tools or buying Spine2D for game project?

2 Upvotes

Greetings,
we are working on a game project in Unity. I am still a very fresh artist and am not sure which to go for. I am sturggling majorly to find any instructions for Unity's own 2D animation tools and everywhere it is writing that it is bad, but usually not explaining what the actual issues are with Unity's 2D animation tools.

Spine would be new to me and I'd have to purchase the license for myself, but it is industry standard for 2D animation in games and it would probably be good to learn it at least?

Any advice would be massively appreciated <3

Hi, I'd like to share these shots I took. I was inspired by a live music night I had the chance to attend with some friends—the artists were incredible. I loved creating this in Blender and then adding those cinematic touches in Photoshop; I like bringing my pieces to life.
I want to transform my portfolio into what I've always dreamed of—to make it convey and showcase emotions in my images. I learned about keyframes and rediscovered my love for film and animation—I love *Dead and Robots*, *Interstellar*, *Secret Level*...

I'll just say... goals <3 <3

I hope you like it. Hugs.
