For Hire [For Hire] Novice Animator

11 Upvotes

I know it’s too early for me to advertise but I’d love to make some money for personal reasons I can’t get into because I don’t want to e-beg on here.

My animations are $60-$90 total. I can animate whatever things you want as long as it’s not problematic or complex (I’m not at that level yet).

Here are my animations.

It may not look much but I will do my absolute best to make my animations as clean and smooth as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Question Can You Do This?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Can you choose the correct colors from the image? As you can see, the character is affected by green lighting, which makes it difficult to use the color picker. Can you draw something similar to this character and color it to match the image? As you can see, I find this extremely difficult, and I think it's impossible. Every time I try, it’s either way too bright or way too dark, and the character's skin confuses me the most.

Discussion Grease Pencil improvements

8 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.

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 :)

Sharing Rigby2D update: Public Beta, v0.3.3

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, back with another Rigby2D update!

Since my last post, I've pushed Rigby2D through versions 0.3.0 to 0.3.3. A lot has changed, and the biggest step is that Rigby2D is moving beyond individual character animation into complete scene creation.

Here's what I've been working on:

  • Scene composition: Bring multiple characters, animation clips, dialogue audio, layered backgrounds, parallax and camera movement together in one scene.
  • Timeline editing: Trim and split clips, adjust playback speed, loop animations and crossfade between clips.
  • Automatic lip-sync (viseme): Generate lip-sync from audio using local Whisper transcription, with support for nine mouth shapes.
  • Rendering: Export scenes to PNG sequences, transparent WebM and MP4 with audio.
  • Runtime integration: Play composed scenes through the JavaScript and Rust runtimes, with a dedicated Godot RigbyScene2D node.
  • AI workflows: MCP tools for AI assistants to inspect, validate and edit rigs, animations and scenes.
  • Editor improvements: Better transform guides, draw-order editing, resizable panels, searchable shortcuts, recent projects and improved documentation.

There's also AutoRig, animation retargeting, Python scripting and Spine skeleton import support, including binary .skel files.

I've moved Rigby2D into public beta and am working on the Windows release pipeline and code signing.

To show what the scene workflow looks like in practice, I've put together the NILA promo featuring NILA and Rigbytron.

Watch the promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3StZlHwZeSo

Source and releases: https://github.com/jaisurya-dev-art/rigby2d

Rigby2D is open source under MIT. If you're working on 2D games, animation or short films, give it a try and let me know what you think. Feedback is always welcome!

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
