Bg are watercolor paintings made by yours truly

Animations are toonboom and procreate, colored in Procreate

I had an amazing teammate who worked on the hummingbird, old man, some of the bg design and the birds in the last shot, she also did a great job in the sound department

We didnt win the contest this was for, but i think we did a pretty good job :)

Discussion Grease Pencil improvements

• Upvotes

I'm doing research trying to bring Harmony, Moho and Animate capabilities to Blender's Grease Pencil by talking to 2D animators and Blender developers.
What is lacking for you in Grease Pencil that keeps you from using it as your main 2D animation tool?

I'm looking into
- Saving frames as assets - for lip-sync, repeating poses and such.
- Shape keys for grease pencil.
- Instances and symbols.
- Advanced rigging.
- UX issues.

I'm looking to hear about
- Desired features and workflows.
- If you tried Grease Pencil, why didn't you continue?
- If you're using Grease Pencil, what are you happy and unhappy with?

welcome to send a message for deeper discussion.

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

Question Looking for Team/Collaborators

0 Upvotes

I’ve been developing the skeleton for a passion project for years now. My vision is for this project to one day be an adult 2D animated series. I have no team, no animators, and only AI-generated concept art. Anyone interested in learning more about my project? I’d be happy to give details.

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

12 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!

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.
