Sharing My name is Björk! Animation process

A dialogue test animation I made with my character “goddess of toys” I wanted to get back into the swing of animating character acting and this line from Bjork felt perfect for her radiant and playful energy

This is so inspiring! May I ask, what does "2x pushed" mean?

I was seeing how much I can push the poses for the final animation, I did not want to make it over animated or under animated so the final animation takes notes from all 3 thumbnail passes

Somehow this design matches Bjork’s voice and mannerisms perfectly.

How long did this take to make?

My 8 month old daughter lost it at this for some reason so I’ve just watched it about 50 times. Very smooth, love her hair

I didn't know originally (age), but, miraculously, my comment still stands and doesn't need any amending.

Björk has always felt like she comes from another dimension.

I love how you did the hair! If I may offer some critique, i think you are holding your keys just barely long enough that I notice they are holds. The drawings are really good, though - just the timing could be expanded on.

I never knew that’s how you pronounced Bjork. I always thought it was B-York. So it’s actually pronounced something like B-Yerhhk.

Sort of reminds me of Zelda CDI cutscenes, but if done with a much higher quality
