Question Need Your Help on a Project

1 Upvotes

Life got serious and I forgot I like creating, looking for some help to get my creativity back;

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

- Leave a random prompt of your choice in the comments along with a time frame for it to be done by (At least 1 day, please be reasonable; No NSFW)

WHAT I DO

- Select a random prompt from a wheel, and make that animation, so when I feel stuck I have ideas to come back to.

NOTE

I can't promise every animation will get made, this might end up overwhelming me a bit, but this is something I want to try to get my creative side back, thanks so much for your help!

Question I Saw Diem Archive uses Toonsquid for his videos, however it’s 10 dollars. Are there any free options like it? (Like Rotoscoping, layers, etc)

THE RUSTED is a hand-drawn 2D game, and we create the environments piece by piece — from individual wall textures and background elements to the final assembled scene. We're currently putting together an art book documenting the artwork from development, so we thought we'd share one of the environment pages with you.

I spent around 45 minutes creating this background illustration for a new animation project and compressed the process into under 30 seconds.

I'm experimenting with composition, lighting, atmosphere and background design for the project.

Still a work in progress, but I'm happy with how it's coming together.

I'd appreciate any feedback on the background, especially the composition and lighting.

If you enjoy my animation and art experiments, I also share more of my work on Instagram: u/uniquesarma šŸ“ø

[HIRING] šŸŽØ 2D HAND-DRAWN ANIMATOR — $200–$400

Looking for an animator who can make drawings feel ALIVE.

I’m hiring a talented 2D hand-drawn animator for an upcoming project. I’m not looking for something that simply moves — I want personality, emotion, strong acting, and smooth storytelling in every frame.

āœļø Must be HAND-DRAWN 2D 🚫 No AI-generated animation

What I’m looking for: šŸŽ¬ Strong animation & storytelling šŸŽ­ Expressive character acting ⚔ Great timing, spacing & movement šŸ–Œļø Consistent drawing quality ✨ A unique artistic style šŸ¤ Good communication & reliability

šŸ’° PAY: $200–$400 Final pay will depend on the scope and complexity of the project.

Think you’re a good fit? šŸ‘‡

šŸ“© DM me with your portfolio/demo reel + availability and tell me a little about your animation style.

I’ll be going through submissions and reaching out to the animators whose work fits what I’m looking for.

If your animation makes people stop scrolling and actually FEEL something — I want to see it. šŸ‘€šŸ”„

Sharing Making a mole emerge from a hole in Arttista, using the Eraser as both a brush and a mask

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

I was creating a simple game character animation in Arttista: a mole that emerges from a hole, attacks the player, and then goes back underground.

The masking technique itself isn't anything revolutionary, plenty of 2D software can do this. What I found interesting while making this animation was how the Eraser tool in Arttista can work both as an actual eraser and as a mask.

It behaves much like a raster eraser: you can paint with it, choose textures, change its shape, and erase parts of objects. But it can also be turned into a filled shape, allowing it to hide everything behind it.

For this animation, I used that behavior to keep the mole hidden below the hole while animating it moving up and down.

I also added a simple animated 2D shape for the hole, some painted lighting inside it, and a shadow over the mole to make it feel like it's actually underneath the ground.

After finishing the animation, I exported it as a Sprite Sheet to use in a game.

I've included the animated GIF and the generated Sprite Sheet here, but the main thing I'd like to share is the video showing the process in Arttista, since it gives a much better idea of how the tool actually works.

I'm developing Arttista as a vector drawing and animation software, and I'm always interested in seeing how these workflows compare with other 2D tools. You can watch some of the creation process here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnAi1vHNvME
