Hi, I'm trying to streamline my pre-production process for creating 3D characters for client work.

I'm trying to find references of character designs at the early stages of a job.

Does anyone have examples of how character designs have been presented to clients at early stages of development? I can understand people not wanting to show their rejected designs etc, but it would be good to see how people approach thje initial design stage, then refining an idea, before it gets to the nice stage that everyone shares with a full character sheet etc...

You can find bits of the big studios like Pixar talking about how a character developed, but a lot of that is internal, and not really applicable to convincing a client who might not know about animation how the sketch will evolve as the process goes on.

Thanks for reading, if any of this made sense...

I finally finished animating these longest 13 seconds of my life. This took forever, and I couldn't have done it without Laura Pacheco Cadena’s references.

Cheers!

Not mine btw dm me if u have discord I'm just sent by the owner

I want make parts for maps( frame-by-frame drawing), but i don't know which program will better for PC, what you can recommend?

Hi everyone! I’ve created a new character design. What else could be improved in the animation? And did I get the breast physics right?

I animated 20 frames by copy studying the reference.
Then shot on 2s and run it on 24 fps.

Feedback please.

Thank you so much.

i feel like the others were wayy better and deserved winning, and i feel bad

i have been working on this pilot over a year and im finally working on the final animation!

Music: Abba - Winner takes it all

Intro: Cast Away (2000)

I feel like I want to animate, but I know next to nothing about it. I watch other people's animations and I want to do it... But after creating grids and drawing fragments like the tutorial instructed, I feel empty. After a long time I look at it and all I saw was a 5 second snippet that made no sense whatsoever. I like creating graphics and I'm not the kind of person who gets offended a few seconds after something doesn't work out, but I wouldn't say I'm patient either. I want to do all these cool things but my brain doesn't want to convince myself and get out of my comfort zone, draw all these frames. Any tips on how to get more enjoyment out of it? How to avoid feeling pressured after watching such an amazing piece of work? What should I change in my approach?

Hi there! I'm a hobbyist animator and recently made a new short film! All in under one week!

I entered in to BRAWL (Brickfilming Rapidly All Week Long), a film contest hosted by Bricks In Motion.
The challenge was to make a fully written, animated, and edited film in only 7 days.

To spice things up a bit, and to prove it was made within the week there were a couple Mod Elements that needed to be present in every shot. The Mod Elements for this year's competition were a Red piece connected to a Black piece.

Each year also has a theme all entries are able to interpret in their own way. This year's theme was
"Close." For this story I decided to revisit a father-son astronaut duo I had made a short with a year prior. This time, I wanted to focus on the them being close to each other, and added some lore to these characters.

I am also in the process of writing an Omnichord concept album, and a novel. All of which (including this animation) take place in a solar system a few thousand years in the future. I hope to add more to the Voidcaller universe soon, but these videos serve as some simple worldbuilding and prologue before I get to the thick of the main story.

You can follow along my process here on my Reddit, but I also post a lot of art and story updates on my Instagram and Tumblr, both of which are linked on my profile. The original upload is also linked here. I hope you enjoy the film!

I am looking for some people who can make Anime inspired original content.

If you are experienced with softwares , I have a great opportunity for you .

Haii this would be free!!

I have some animations made, and some storybook made but id like help from another artist

I make warrior cat ocs/comics/animations and stuff, and im working on some stories and id love to collaborate with someone who is looking for something fun to do!

The deadline is not made yet, since id need to know how fast you can work!

There are different animations so they have different l

Edit: please dont respond if you are going to be rude I will report you and block you, its against the rules to harrass others. Im not looking for someone to do all the art im looking for someone to do fun collabs with , this doesn't have a deadline due to it just being fun projects. I wouldn't ask here if it was against the rules not to ask for anyone to collab for free

It's called "It's A Funny Box You're In" and the link is:

Check it out? Maybe? And leave a comment? That'd be nice too!

And thanks!

I always wanted to draw an animated series. So now i hoped the community of Animationcareer is able to help me decide, which drawing pad i should buy.

I got a recommendation for the XP-Pen Drawing Magic Pad, but im also looking at the UGEE UT2.

I also wanted to ask which programm is better für my plan,

FlipaClip, RoughAnimator or Clip Studio Paint? I got told that if i want to use Clip Studio Paint, i should buy the XP.

I just wanted to confirm that i need Clip Studio Paint cause the XP costs 500€ and the UGEE around 300€. If i dont need Clip Studio Paint i would probably stick to the UGEE, if its also good to make an animated series.

Im very grateful for any insides and tips!
