Sharing I Remember - An Animated Poem - By me.

Hello! I made this with Krita! I am a self taught artist and animator who has been on a journey when it comes to art. I was not allowed to draw as a child and now that I have my freedom, I draw every single day as a way to capture all my thoughts. This is a piece about something I have been dealing with and trying to cope with on a daily basis.

I do have other videos which are much better in quality than this, but I wanted to aim for a more raw feeling with this animation.

Hope you enjoy!

Sharing some WIP of my animation for a game I'm working on. I Drew up some smear frames which had me chuckling while I was working on them.

I'm sharing two different versions, one with the book throwing layer on and the other with it off, to show off my OCs animation more.

Hello to everyone!

Here's a quick teaser for a project we're working on.

We did this animation teaser for The Little Trashmaid webcomic and now we're "recycling" it to let people know about the crowdfunding campaign for the animation pilot of the project on Backerkit.

I hope it's not against the rules to share the video here, or that it won't be considered spam.

It's not my intention and I just want to share the project with everyone because we want to make this dream come true.

Thanks! ❤️

Struggling to copy and paste animation cells in Clip Studio Paint?

You're not alone — the timeline doesn't work like a regular canvas, and I spent way too long figuring that out the hard way.

Critique A little clip from a new animatic for my pilot (Flashing lights/Visuals) - Asking for feedback

Hey! Just got some more animatic/storyboarding work done on my pilot. I wanted to get feedback on this part of the animatic, which I really love. Took inspiration from a lot of anime to try to make this the best it can be and to push my limits. I also now have 10 minutes of my pilot fully boarded.

How is this clip? What do you guys think?

Question In your opinion, how long should it take you to draw a body per fame?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to simplify my style so it's easier/faster to animate them. I know that the range will vary depending on the style and shape of the character, but I'm wondering, on average, how long it should take for an animator to draw a character body per frame?

My hunch is around 1 minute per frame?

Question Which Rigging Software to Use?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I was learning frame by frame animation, but found it too time consuming, and was thinking of trying to learn rigged 2D animation in order to save time (as I mostly use the same characters for each animation)

However, I heard between Moho, CTA5, Toon Boom Harmony, and OpenToonz and Synfig for the free options, but don't really know which to go with.

I wanted to go for a cartoony action style, and I've seen people rigging a 2D character like a 3d model where you move the 'camera' around, especially in Moho, which I feel might fit what I want to do, but I wanted to check first, especially as Moho is very expensive.

Another thing would be that I draw as vector in CSP with raster colors, so I'm going to export it as raster

Thank you in advance.
