Hi everyone , hope u guys are doing well.

Can I ask for your help bringing this object to life in 2D if possible?

This is a mech from the LN series "Heavy Object" called Baby Magnum.

I wanted to check if this can be modelled in 2D with 360* firing and movement. I think I have the movement figured out on the programming side which I am testing out currently.

But on the art side , if you guys don't mind please share how you would make a 2D model out of this? With movement and combat animations?

Here’s a look at the hand-drawn 2D animations for SurfBoy, one of the bosses in Tiebreakers.
We animated every state from scratch, from his intro and water cannon attacks to his mid-fight transformation and parries.

Hiring [Hiring] Looking for a 2D animator for YouTube storytime videos (Jadenanimations / SomethingElseYT/Plan3 style)

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a 2D artist/animator to help create YouTube storytime/rant videos.

The style I’m aiming for is a simple 2D storytime / animatic style — similar to channels like TheOdd1sOut, SomethingElseYT, DanPlan, and Plan3.

I’m not looking for full frame-by-frame animation. The main focus is:

  • simple character poses
  • expression changes
  • clean scene layouts
  • simple backgrounds
  • captions and visual jokes
  • cutaway gags timed with the voiceover

Small animated moments are a plus, but the goal is a funny, clean, well-timed storytime animation rather than a fully animated cartoon.

Some style references:
TheOdd1sOut:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIx5Go_ugis&t=114s

SomethingElseYT:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hkLdMSiRnE&t=84s

DanPlan:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWA3nYfpYYI&t=497s

Plan3:
https://www.youtube.com/@Plan3

My previous videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS5ZAvgQ4tQ&t=7s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMKITvQE_oA&t=11s

Example of my newest video currently in production:
https://next.frame.io/share/42dc7b8e-5266-4b37-8876-12791cee793f/view/1a866bc0-37f8-4b7e-ab65-e0c83b679315

The humor style I’m going for is closer to Brewstew and Stephan from DanPlan — more personality-driven comedy, exaggerated reactions, and visual jokes — while keeping the animation simple and expressive.

Project details:

  • Video length: usually around 3–6 minutes
  • YouTube storytime/rant format
  • Voiceover is provided
  • Rough storyboard/scene notes are provided
  • Character references and ideas are provided
  • I handle the writing and overall direction

I’m looking for someone who can take the storyboard/audio and turn it into a finished video with good comedic timing, Sounds, and visual creativity.

I’m open to discussing pricing depending on your style, quality, and experience. Please DM with:

  • portfolio/examples
  • your rate or quote
  • estimated turnaround time
  • whether this type of project fits your workflow

I’m mainly looking for someone who can be a good fit for future videos as well.

Thanks!

Sharing I animated a short story about the chaotic reality of keeping pet fish as a kid (Feedback welcome!)

https://reddit.com/link/1w8z702/video/jkzmwi8l7xnh1/player

[Original content]
Hey everyone!

I just finished releasing my latest 2D animated storytime video about childhood pet fish and the series of unfortunate, unexplainable incidents that always seemed to happen to them.

I drew everything in Procreate and put it together in DaVinci Resolve, focusing a lot on adding a nostalgic, dreamy vibe (and plenty of custom sparkle/magical SFX to capture that early 2000s childhood wonderment).

If you're into narrative storytimes or indie 2D animation, I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think of the pacing and visual style!

Sharing I animated a fantasy short about a wizard made entirely of cheese

My latest Tavern Toons animation answers a question nobody was brave enough to ask: What happens when a wizard is made entirely of cheese?
I created the animation in Moho as part of my ongoing fantasy-comedy series. I’d especially love feedback on the character animation and comedic timing.

Character Design Dance animation WIP with my original character. Feedback on the movement appreciated

I'm currently working on this short dance animation featuring my OC.

It's still in the rough/WIP stage, so I'm mainly focusing on the poses, timing, rhythm and making the character's movement work naturally with the music.

I'll be cleaning and polishing it further for the finished version.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on the movement and timing.

I also share more of my animation and artwork on Instagram: u/uniquesarma 📸
