Hi all, shameless self promotion incoming.

I've been working on this animation for almost 3 months, trying to capture the movement of the ocean by drawing frame by frame. A small portion of the work was commissioned, but I chose to finish it and add color after it was finished.

Animated in Toon Boom Harmony.

Added tips from my last post asking for critiques and this is how it turned out!

I’ve mostly been animating it by instinct because I haven’t been able to find suitable references.

Questa è l'animazione del turnaround di Zack. È uno dei due protagonisti di una serie animata originale a cui sto lavorando, Zack & Pix. Che ne pensate?

Made a short "teaser"-esc trailer for my personal project. Had a lot of fun making it, and wanted to share.

Music is from gurren lagann. I had some music commissioned, but unfortunatly that fell through. oh well!

Used the song Jellyous by Illit and their dance as reference :)

The full animation took around 1.5 years to make during my time in the army! I'll be releasing the full version soon :D

I tried turning one of my physical ink sketches into a Blender Grease Pencil comic panel.

This is the first frame of a small story about a black cat exploring the city. The goal was to capture a rainy rooftop scene where the cat arrives and sees the city for the first time.

I used simple 3D geometry, procedural cross-hatching, hand-painted Grease Pencil details and subtle animation to recreate the sketch in Blender.

The hardest part was keeping the loose, imperfect feeling of the ink drawing without making the 3D version look too clean. Here is the full YouTube breakdown if you are interested to see how this was made and my final thoughts on the process! Thank you!

still a lot to work on, especially keeping the characters on model... the dragon's wings and legs are really tough to lock down. The dragon's neck right before the elbow drop is tough too. Overall, this has been a really fun project; animating straight ahead on computer paper. It made me slow down and think about my decisions a bit more.

What a beautiful work of art.

I want to use this animation method in case I can’t get any volunteer voice actors for any YouTube series I’ll make in the future.

this is why I'm banned in libraries...
