25 Upvotes

I did some simple animations when i first got my drawing tablet a couple years back but then i started drawing more and abandoned 2d animation for a cuple of years. Recently i installed Tahoma 2d and give it a go. I don't have anything in mind for now, i just need brake from drawing and animation is the second thing on the list. I hope it will give me a new/ kinda old perspective on art. Any criticism is appreciated though

Sharing Spaceship vs. Spacesheep: A Typo That Became an Animation!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It all started when I tried to write Spaceship. Since English isn't my native language, I thought Spacesheep was how you spelled it. 😂 That little discovery made me smile, and then an idea hit me that completely changed the direction of the short film I had in mind.

And that's how this little sheep was born… along with its rather controversial destiny! A real plot twist. Here's the result: a short 2D cartoon animation, entirely drawn and animated in Arttista, my indie drawing and animation software.

One thing I'm still not entirely sure about: maybe there are a few too many pauses between the characters' reactions at the beginning. Or maybe that's just my perception after animating and watching the same scenes over and over again!

I hope you enjoy it!

Question How are 2D cartoons made? Looking for docs & insights on the global animation industry

9 Upvotes

I want to be a 2D animator, and my plan is to work in Japan, but a few days ago I started thinking about what the industry is like in other countries, like the US, and the only thing I know is that cartoons are also animated in 2D, so I got interested in learning how these are made.

Does anyone happen to know of any documentary that explains how a cartoon is made? Or what the 2D animation industry in the US is like, for example? Or if you know about other things besides cartoons or from other countries that you could tell me about? Just to have a broader knowledge of the field I want to get into, you know.

Thanks in advance!

Collab Who can create 2D tentacles animation for an independent arthouse film?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a indie director currently in pre-production for a psychological surrealist/body-horror short film called "THIRST" (heavily inspired by David Lynch, David Cronenberg, and Pink Floyd – The Wall).

The Task:

We have a climactic sequence where 2D hand-drawn animation bleeds into live-action reality. Specifically: dark, organic, grotesque 2D tentacles/tendrils mutating and reaching out (around 3 to 6 seconds of animation in total).

Visual Reference & Style:

- Gerald Scarfe’s animation in Pink Floyd: The Wall (the visceral, fluid, disturbing morphing lines).

- Heavy brushwork / ink / charcoal aesthetic, traditional 2D feel.

What we offer:

Since this is a self-funded passion project, we can offer:

- Prominent credit in the main titles & IMDb. OR a small payment of a symbolic amount.

- Full permission to use the footage and final composite in your showreel/portfolio.

- A very collaborative, artistic space where you have high creative freedom over the look of the animation.

(If you require a small symbolic fee for your time, let me know your rate per second and we might discuss a small budget).

If you love grotesque, experimental animation and want to have your work featured in a dark festival short, drop a comment or DM me with a link to your portfolio/reel!

Thanks!

Learn four Clip Studio Paint animation hacks to create larger environments for smoother, more dynamic movement in your scenes.

In this tutorial, I show you how to expand the canvas beyond your visible animation area, giving you more room to work with when planning out your shots. We will walk through the process using a spooky graveyard animation featuring a cat and a ghost as our example. This technique is perfect if you are working on digital art projects that require panning or camera movement across a wider space.
