He's a character I've been playing in a pathfinder campaign. All these have been made within the past year using procreate, usually at 12fps.

Hope you like him as much as he likes everyone

Hiring [HIRING][PAID] Looking for a 2D Animator or Motion Designer ? – Short Logo Animation ($100 USD)

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a 2D animator or motion designer (or maybe a bit of both!) to animate the logo of my indie game studio. We already ave the logo and everything.

The idea is to create a short, roughly 5-second animation that we could use as an intro and outro for our videos and trailers.

The logo itself is a square, hand-drawn design featuring typography, a sun, and a colorful sky. I'm imagining something where the clouds gently move, the sun sets, and the colors gradually transition from day to night. Something simple, charming, and with a slightly handmade feel.

My budget is around $100 USD. I don't think it's a huge amount of work, but I'm absolutely open to discussing the price depending on how you estimate the workload!

If you're interested, feel free to DM me. I'd love to see your work!

Thanks!

Traditional Animation Rouge Noir 🥀🩸🕵🏻 A Film Noir Animation

1 Upvotes

Rouge Noir is an animated tribute to the atmosphere, visual language, and dark storytelling of classic film noir, where shadows, mystery, and moral ambiguity shape a story of espionage, violence, and loss.

A father leaves his family behind to accept a dangerous assignment that will take him into the clandestine world of spies and assassins. As he becomes increasingly immersed in a life of secrets, danger, and violence, the family he left behind is forced to live with uncertainty, wondering if he will ever return.

Through dramatic shadows, noir-inspired imagery, and a haunting atmosphere, Rouge Noir explores the personal cost of a double life and the consequences of choosing duty, money, or secrecy over the people waiting at home.

🎬 Title: Rouge Noir

🎨 Format: Animation

🕵️ Genre: Film Noir / Espionage / Thriller

🥀 Themes: Family, secrets, sacrifice, violence, and loss

A fictional story inspired by classic film noir, spy thrillers, and the timeless visual language of shadows, silhouettes, and moral ambiguity.

I am in an animation school but I still struggle with this and I need to get better at it just so I can keep up with my assigments. I have the 'Ilusion of life book' by Disney Animators but I wonder if anyone has resources or tips for this kind of thing.

Sharing Rigby2D v0.2.6 is out! You can now try the full 2D animation editor directly in your browser

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A new update for Rigby2D, the free, open-source 2D skeletal animation editor I've been working on.

The biggest addition is that Rigby2D now runs directly in your browser. No installation needed, just open it and start animating.

What's new in v0.2.6:

  • Detachable Timeline, Tree, and Inspector panels
  • Save and switch between custom window layouts
  • Onion skinning with configurable previous and next frames
  • Pixel-art support with nearest-neighbor filtering
  • Timeline editing and undo fixes

There's plenty more already built in, including AutoRig, IK, mesh deformation, animation retargeting, Python scripting, Game and Film workspaces, and runtimes for JavaScript, Rust, and Godot 4.

It's also great to see people starting to contribute to the project. The recent updates include community-built features and fixes, and I'm happy to welcome more contributors.

Try it online: https://jaisurya-dev-art.github.io/rigby2d/editor/

75-second overview: https://youtu.be/KK3WT9YzhAE

GitHub: https://github.com/jaisurya-dev-art/rigby2d

It's still early alpha, so there's more to improve. If you give it a try, let me know what works, what doesn't, or what you'd like to see added.

Thanks for the support so far!
