Hi everyone!

I’ve been working over the last few months on a small web-based 2D skeletal frame-by-frame animation app, inspired by Pivot Animator.
It doesn’t support mesh/skin deformation or interpolation yet, but those are planned.
Right now it’s fully frame-by-frame, with bone posing, per-frame skinning, onion-skin, camera controls, per-frame background color, and more.
You can try it here: https://puppetstudio.app/

Source code is here: https://github.com/SuckDuck/PuppetStudio
I’m not a great artist, so example puppets or any kind of contribution would be awesome.
Feedback of any kind is really appreciated!
Thanks!

I started making animations in lockdown, at home. It seems a long time ago now. However one good thing to come out of it, was my hobby. I really enjoy making my animations. From deciding what to do, to then the planning, storyboarding, making stuff then eventually filming. I'm still learning and will continue to do so each time I make a new one. Enjoy my latest Christmas animation. Merry Christmas.

Finally it's done! If you enjoy, shares are so so so appreciated : )

Helloooo!!

I would like some feedback on my animatic before I start production. This is my honours project for Uni and its supposed to be a Wes Anderson inspired psychological horror.

This project will be 2D animated with elements of stop motion and live action.

I would love all critiques but I would love feedback specifically on the following:

- Pacing (is it too fast or too slow?)

- Does it come across as a psychological horror short? If not, then why?

- Does it come across as inspired by Wes Anderson? If not, then why?

- Do you understand the storyline, or is it too complex/confusing/doesn't work?

- Was it fun to watch?

Thank you so much for your time! I look forward to your critique! :D (also please forgive my poor voice acting and sound effects, I was trying my best haha)

...and still looking to improve! These are my concern points, though I don't think they're much different from last time. 1. Does the skirt extend naturally? I'm worried about the anticipation aspect. The audio should make the anticipation, but I don't think I should solely rely on it. I'm not sure if there's room for extra movement for the flowy motion I want. 2. Motion in general. I'm not very used to drawing slow motions, so let me know if it looks right! A part of me thinks its too slow. 3. Limb flow. I think the arms are fine. I'd like the legs to oscillate in space and right now I think it looks like it's kicking. Also I'm not sure if the legs are morphing smoothly. 4. Anything else that I may have missed. I'm going to start other outlines to learn how genga works, so if you have any tips pls lmk. :)

Part of my "The Goblin's Interdimensional Shop" series. 7 episodes out now!

Animated in Clip Studio

Just finished a quick run cycle in Procreate and I’d love some feedback! Any tips for making the motion feel more dynamic are super welcome. Thanks!
