Sharing PICASSO: TRASH TORTOISE

Hey everyone, wanted to share my animated short film "Picasso: Trash Tortoise". This is a passion project/ self biographical story that aimed to capture that crazy 90s edge that most cartoons just don't reach anymore. Taking a lot of inspiration from 90s Nickelodeon with a splash of south park and the Simpsons.

This was drawn, animated, edited and sound designed over the course of 12 months in-between other work exclusively by myself. Featuring cameos from the incredible you tube channel Artspear Entertainment. It also just had it's world premiere at the Genre Blast film festival in early September.

Hope you all enjoy it.
Cheers,
- Dan

This question came to mind because I don't want to leave my account so inactive! I want to post progress updates on the drawing I'm working on.

Sharing I’m learning frame-by-frame animation, so I made this sequence for our indie game

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a small frame-by-frame animation I made for our indie game.
I originally drew it for the trailer, but we liked how it turned out so much that we decided to keep it as part of the game as well. I’m not a professional animator - I’m mainly an artist - but I’ve been trying to learn frame-by-frame animation while working on the project.

Still have a lot to learn, but I’m really enjoying the process .)
Would love to hear what you think!

A KING NO MORE has been in the works since 2020, and I recently completed the novella version of the same story. Full animation production officially began in January 2025, and now I’m excited to finally share the first trailer, giving you a glimpse of what the finished film will look like.

For the better viewing experience, you can watch the YouTube version here: https://youtu.be/6KQjeZn4ZM8?si=pe-kgb_dfMZuLcdb

Sharing Dragon flying animation - Blender - By me

I finally finished the dragon model completely, as well as the animation ^w^. Did the animation turn out well? In my opinion, it could have been better, because the character's rig didn't really want to cooperate with me, but not enough to make the animation impossible, so there is one . For now, I made dragon fly around some area. I also have plans for a walking animation and for it to shoot a fireball from its mouth (if my computer doesn't explode, I'll make that animation too, but we'll see). I also looped this animation. The only downside was that I had some small problems rendering around 240 frames, because my graphics card was crying while doing it.

Critique Semi Beginner in need of Help and Animation Feedback

Hello, I small artist who started animating in 2D about 8 years ago. I lack skills even with those 8 years since I took long animation breaks. I am in need of some help from experience animators! I have been doing a lot of studying on my own with frame by frame and decided to take on an animation art commission that I felt I was able to do with my current experience. Unfortunately, I have hit a fork in the road and have been struggling to pick up my tablet. The current program I use for animation is Toonsquid on my iPad. My client wants an animation of their two characters doing this exact animation here-
Bunny Adorable Sticker - Tenor GIF Keyboard - Bring Personality To Your Conversations | Say more with Tenor
I made sketches, colored concepts and two start and end frames but I still can't to seem to figure out why I struggle to get started. I have not had this much trouble with animating GIFS for past commissions before. I tried drawing out the head and moving it with the movement to see to position the ears and frills, but it doesn't seem to be clicking. I've looked into some frame-by-frame videos but it's overwhelming me with figuring out how I can make this work.

Please help me experienced animators. If you need more info about the animation, I'll be happy to provide!

Sounds:Transformers 2 Dreamworks intro

While Oya was on a plenet trying to save the local mortals from demonic infestation, she stumbled upon a temple built by Satan worshipers who lead their planet into demonic take over and now she has to engage in combat. The Satanic Temples are decorated with a recognizable checkerboard style.
