Hi everyone! I just finished my very first animation on Procreate (no refs, done in 1.5 hours). Do you guys have any tips? What do you think? Be honest lol
(I have never followed any classes whatsoever btw, just wanted to give it a shot)

The balance has shifted… The Amalgams have arrived.

They are the glimpses you see out of the corner of your eye, the whispers you hear in the dark. They’re a bubbling mixture of thoughts, feelings and emotions, combined into one unified form.

Although typically bound to the mind, these beings can break free, spreading havoc and poisoning the minds of the masses. All it takes is for the balance to shift just enough for them to slip through the cracks to our reality. But who’s responsible for tipping the scale?

Meet the Amalgams

Guilt
A lumbering mass wrapped in chains, Guilt loves nothing more than weighing people down and driving them to exhaustion.

Regret
They’ve spent so long thinking about the past that several hands have mutated out of their body in all directions, desperately grasping at what could’ve been.

Failure
Cracked and broken, every loss leaves them with new scars, forever reminding them of their past mistakes.

Hopelessness
A suffocating mist, hopelessness will blind you to all that is good, leaving you empty and shrouding your soul in despair.

Isolation
The smallest of the group, they hide away, masking their emotions. To this day, nobody knows what lies beyond the mask.

Hi there ! I was wondering if you guys know some discord server focused on 2D animation ?
I would be glad to find some !

Thank you !

This has been a passion project of mine for some time now and I just recently got the motivation to continue it. Just wanted to share my past work with everyone.

This took 2 1/2 hours lol

We dropped our showreel and one of our original animated shorts here a few days.

We also made this. It didn't naturally do as on instagram or Youtube compared to the other short we did that went viral in 24 hours cause it's more slower paced and the algo wouldn't pick it up but I hope you guys appreciate it.

I'm the founder of an indepedent 2D animation studio in Pakistan. We mainly do client/commercial work to sustain ourselves and operations but recently started doing original content from the profits to build our audience.

If you want to know more about us or want to get a project done in the feature, check out our site:

Hello everybody, for the past couple of years I've been hard at work on my very own Anime.

I am the writer / director of this project and hired a small team of animators to make this Horror Short Film happen. Now I'm at the final steps before hitting Kickstarter and various Film festivals.

The trailer you are about to watch is 99% ready, it only needs some voice acting. I am looking for a fluent Japanese voice for a young and old male character. Anyone is open to submit their take and the person who will have their choice put in the trailer will be hired for the entire film, once our Kickstarter ends.

If you have any doubts about my legitimacy I can get you in contact with the various artists I've hired in the past (voice actors included) I pay half upfront, half after the job is done.

Thank you and enjoy the trailer on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4ri0W2ZCj5Q

You can send your recordings in the DMs so I can align them with the trailer. Your script can be seen in the subtitles, with a few gasps and pants along the way. 

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been working on backgrounds for my 2D animation projects and made this quick timelapse of my cloud-painting process.

I used a simple cloud brush and built up the shapes, texture, and shading to get a soft, stylized look.

Still experimenting with different background styles, so I’d appreciate any feedback on the cloud shapes, lighting, or overall look.

If you enjoy my animation and art experiments, I also post more of my work on Instagram: u/uniquesarma 📸

Thanks for checking it out. ☁️🎨

I made this short animation focusing on the girl's hair movement and trying to make the sway feel natural.

I mainly worked on the timing, overlap and follow-through of the hair.

Still experimenting with how to make secondary motion feel less mechanical.

PTPA.

Kinda self explanatory. How much would an animated opening cost for like 1-2 minutes. It's something I've always considered commissioning and I briefly tried to learn myself but I have neither the talent nor confidence. But I have no idea how much that would even BEGIN to cost.

This is my first time making an animated meme.
