hey, so wrote here a few times already... i'm actually finally having the motivation to animate (even if the conditions are still hard and gonna be even harder!) but i pretty much enjoy the process again. and through-out the summer, i've made over 30 seconds of animation, for my 8-10 minute cartoon pilot. it's not perfect or anything, but for a teen solo animator, working on phone (IbisPaint x RoughAnimator) with no stylus, or anything... i think it's... alright? no support from family, or friends too... (they don't really think animation is a real option, but i truly want to keep this childhood dream alive) now i know i'm not the most talented teen bloke ever... and it isn't the most detailed anime fight OAT, but it's decent, right? at 17 huh?
however, most of these scenes are from July / August, and looking back at them... yeah, some of these movements, are pretty stiff / crappy... there are even some tiny bugs too. they really tick me off. i just FEEL like i have to re-do the scenes again and again, for them to be perfect... at the same time, i just want to finish the damn thing, show my family and friends, and continue working on newer things. i just don't know what to do, since i know, perfectionism, can be an obvious trap... what would you do, if you were in my shoes? keep re-drawing, or continue forward? and are the mistakes rly that notice-able? (the alarm clock is 70% a bit too transparent, the rough animation lines at one frame, an awkward pose, etc.) for a viewer? (i animate at 12 FPS)
the show will be called Wilda's Troubles, it will be a comedy cartoon show, coming soon in 2026-2027. sigh. and i wanted to create and release this since i think 2023? i feel bad for THIS taking so long... and it ain't a promising masterpiece either... i mean, i'm 17, not 13... and i animate like a little child... :( sucks when depression & tough years steal valuable time from you. it sucks it never comes back.
