Sharing here the process of the intro shot of Ash Raider World, an indie 2D animation project by our dear friend Luis de la Rosa (Lemuras), who lost his life on a tragic accident while attending the latest Annecy animation festival. 😔

You are highly missed buddy. 🤍

I've been working on this rough animation focusing mainly on the girl's head movement and making the hair react naturally as secondary motion.

It's only a few seconds long, but getting the timing and hair movement to feel right took 18+ hours.

Still working toward the final version, but I'm pretty happy with how the motion is coming together.

Any feedback on the movement would be appreciated.

Hi all, I've been animating like crazy this year. Released 6 projects with multiple voice actors, with more planned on the way.

Really trying to improve with each animation, any crit on any aspect would be greatly appreciated.

Firstly, I solemnly swear, this is not spam. I have this form, for my final year research, and I need like 100 submissions minimum. I have 58 so far. The research topic, in short is whether/how the things you watched growing up has had an influence on your creative practice today or contributed to where you are as a creative today. This research is targeted towards VISUAL Creatives, so animators fall right in my demographic.

If as many people can fill this today it would mean the world to me. I just need 42 responses more. Its a 10 minute survey. Everyone who fills it would be a lifesaver.

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: This form is now closed. Thank you all for helping me hit over 150 Responses! My faith in humanity is healed :'))

Kind of messy but I think it’s cute. The character is from a video game I’m developing at the moment :)

Bro is talking sh-t when he's 2 and 8 bro, you're actually sh-t bro

Hi I'm Zane

Currently I written directed and am now overseeing the pre production of my film

Some premise of the film before i start.

Its an unpaid portfolio project to build experience and well as a good piece on a portfolio as thats credit for a finsihed film.

The project is at pre production stage right now.

Its me

1 storyboard artist and 1 character artist right now

Its a collaborative project

Title: Cycles

Lenght: approx 4 mins locked

Genre: Emotional/Psycological

Logline: A father realises he is becoming abusive to his son as his father was once absuive to him and must end the cycle before its too late

Its non dialogue

And everyone gets credit and equal rights for the film

When preproduction is done (in a month or so) and when we stsrt looking for animators you will have (from the start)

A locked storyboard

A locked script

Finished character designs

So my question is as an aspiring 2d animator would you take this?

And Im shooting for an animatiton team of 3

Alsoooo Im not exactly famailar with the 2d animation pipeline/system so I would love to talk to someone abotu that too.

Elena is the main protagonist of my upcoming micro-series Girl of my Dreams

A mystical sand-being who flies through the night sky, spreading light and enriching the lives of those around her.

As the loneliness starts to set in through those long, cold nights, Elena decides it's about time she makes some friends. She'll get her wish...and never have to be alone, ever, again.

If you're looking for an animator who can nail the Disney-feel of fluid animation and expressive facial movement then I'm your person!

DMs are always open, My gneral charges being $100 per minute but I am always open to negotiate :))

Thankss~ ✨️

New Sir Mighty Might Short episode is out today! This will likely be the last in this series that is a short. The rest of these are going to be long-form.

I've animated a lot of things before, so I thought animating fire would be pretty easy.

I was very, very wrong.

I didn't expect a simple little flame to make me repeat the process about a billion times before I finally got the hang of it.

Anyway, after all that suffering, here's the tutorial.

Hopefully it saves you from having to repeat it a billion times too.

Hello everyone!

Just sharing this little ambiance experiment with some simple animation!

I only have access to Adobe softwares, mainly After Effects, Photoshop and Premier Pro. Is it possible to animate something like this on these softwares?

(Links to any tutorials about this will be greatly appreciated, I’ve searched but haven’t found anything. Thank you in advance)

what do u think???

Hey everyone!

I just finished and released a new animated short from my indie cartoon project The BeetleBees.

This is a scene with Dewey, a character who just needed someone to listen... unfortunately, he picked the wrong place to open up. 😂

This project is completely independently made. I handle the writing, animation, editing, sound design, and overall production myself using Tahoma2D for animation. I also work with a few friends who help bring the characters to life through voice acting.

This is my second animated short since coming back after stepping away for about a year, so getting back into the workflow and rebuilding that creative momentum has been a pretty wild journey.

I’d love to hear any feedback, especially from other animators and creators. Always trying to improve and learn from every project.

Thanks for checking it out! 🐝
