Silly Shorts

I do voice over and have dabbled in screen writing. Would anyone want to collaborate? I have some old recordings of me doing characters that might be fun for someone to animate. I'd also be willing to write and voice other projects as well. I can send you a link to my sound cloud page if anyone is interested. Thanks!

Hey! I made and animation about my DnD world

As I said in the title. Me and my friends are palying a long campain (around 3 years now) of a fantasy world called "The Chusen Ones" or TCO in short.

We've always complained about that we can't see the world that we've created over the years so I dedicated myself to learn to draw and animate and show them, as well as everyone else the beautiful universe, people and story of our campain.

I know that you might call at "rough around the edges" at best, but Im still proud of it. As someone who has no graphical or artistic background and a beginner Im happy that I finished this!

But I would like to hear some critic about this, I see myself a lot of errors that I want to improve in the future animations but any feedback would be very apprisiated!

I wish you all the best!

Animation Work!

Hey! I'm looking for someone who would like to animate a show that I wrote to post YouTube! We can negotiate the best price for the work that you're able to do. The show is a Sci-Fi comedy set in the future. I can give specific details if you think you might be interested. I'd even be open to you joining my small team to come up with more creative ideas and stories for this show and possibly for ideas that can be created in the future. There's no time frame we're trying to get this out so this can definitely be a project at our own pace. Also, with any work that you do, you will be compensated even if you decide to join my team. Let me know if you're interested!!

Seeking animator for YouTube channel!

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to start a YouTube channel- before you go “oh god, not another one of these fuckers,” it’s not really supposed to be a big thing. Like, if it becomes popular, great, but I’m more focused on having fun and developing a collaborative, fun partnership with someone more than anything (and killing time while I social distance).

The premise is history-based, revolving a lot around battles and warfare but told in a narrative fashion. My big thing, though, is I want to link it to human nature, and tell the story through the lens of who we are as a species and why these events happen, and what they can teach us today. I have a couple script floating around but they’re still in the works, let me know if you’d like to see them.

Again, this is very casual, but any revenue would be split evenly (if we even reach that point). Ideally you would animate and I would write the script, VO, and storyboard, but we could collab on storyboard if you’re having ideas, of course. If you’re interested feel free to PM!! I’d love to hear from any of you. Thanks so much.

Looking to commission an artist to animate some pixel Gifs for my stream

Hi there, I’m an upcoming streamer working on a video game and would like small 8second gifs for alerts such as subs, followers, and hosts based off the character in my game. I’ll provide any concept art you need, and will have detailed frames of the animation I want.

Mostly looking for animators that are great with pixelized action sequences.

If you could provide a portfolio of you pixel work and your asking price, I’d really appreciate that.

Thank you!

[Hiring] Looking for 8-Bit & Anime-esque Style Animation

I have two (technically three) anime style mascots that I use on my Twitch and YouTube channels and I would be interested in having them animated into a gif of sorts that I can use as intro, interlude, and outro screens along with some background music. I would love to see them in an 8-Bit style with some degree of anime influence there as well to maintain the channel aesthetic. I've never looked into commissioning an animation before, so I'm not totally sure what my budget on something like this could or should be, though I'm not going to be stingy with what it costs either. I'm more than willing to negotiate with an artist on this. Also, I'd love to continue working with the same artist in the future to maintain consistency in the work when revisions are made. Anyone looking to contact me about this can email me at rustywalkman@gmail.com. Hope to hear from some folks soon!

[Hiring for Commission] Looking for somebody to animate a desktop background of my D&D group.

Hello there! I was wondering if somebody would be down to animate (hair billowing, tail swirling, fireball primed, more detail can be given in dm's ) a d&d group that I'm in. I'd like the background to be semi animated as well, maybe a tree billowing slightly and clouds from above swirling. In total there are 5 characters in our group. I'm hoping that this could be uploadable to Wallpaper engine so that both myself and my friends can use it. I would also say that I NEED for this to be *perfectly looped*. I would also like if this loop could be between 20-30 seconds, preferably on the longer side if at all possible. Budget for this would be 200-300$ however depending on the art style and amount of detail given I would be willing to go as high as 400$. Other details can be discussed in DM's. Thanks for your time and I hope you have a fantastic holiday. Here is a link to a different commission of our characters that one of my friends had made.

NOTE: I am not asking for the linked picture to be animated I’m asking for a new image based on the characters shown.

Edit: I've hired someone for the job. Thanks all.

[HIRING] Short Animation for YouTube video series

Hi - I'm hoping to have a short animation (5-8 seconds) for a YouTube web series called Digging Graves. I have included the logo that I would like to have worked into the animation.

The basic format of the series will be interviews with extreme metal bands and during the interview, we will be burying an object. So one idea that could bee cool is making it look like dirt is being shoveled onto the logo as if it's being buried or maybe having the logo emerge from a grave... but I'm open other suggestions. I don't necessarily need any audio or anything, unless there are some simple sound effects that really go well with the animation. I plan on having metal music play as the animation/intro plays.

Overall, the more "dirty/gritty" and "brutal" or "metal" the intro looks the better.

If this sounds like something that interests you please message me and we can work out the details. I also have more versions of the logo available. I'm fairly decent with photoshop so if there is something that you need adjusted to the logo or if having parts of the logo separated from one another I could provide that as well.

[HIRING] CUTE ANIMATED GIF STICKERS

Hi,

Looking for someone to help me create a line of 10 - 15 emote stickers featuring myself and my girlfriend.

I'd like the style to be similar to this:

https://giphy.com/Jinzhan

My girlfriend really likes these stickers (I feel like the animation speed is faster):

https://giphy.com/stickers/cat-capoo-1wPCSFeSSKMAiXBFQi

Budget is in the range of $3 - $5 per sticker.

These are going to be used in our YouTube videos as little character representations of us.

Our channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsxIwtLFE04QjHbwUNS1jvA

Hopefully, someone can help as I'd like to get these to her by Christmas.

Unusual Post: I create flexible figures; would any stop-motion animators like to work with me?

I love creating figures with small anatomical parts. I recently started using wire and will probably start felting soon.

Currently, I destroy my statues after I've completed them. I'd love to see someone use them though. Here are some examples:
