    A short section of a story I wrote and drew. I'm trying to draw frame by frame and create my own style.

    I chose the song randomly, it looks weird without music

    Mobile Animation

    Hello, I'm recently returning to animation and I animate on mobile, however with FlipaClips recent updates, it's become borderline unusable for me. If anyone could recommend me any better apps to use, that would be appreciated.

    I do have some things that it needs to have like: the ability to add audio, more than 3 layers, shape tools.

    Thank you!!

    Obscure 2000's British Fantasy Cartoon

    Hello r/animation community, I am in need of your help in finding a semi obscure 2D animated fantasy show from the 2000's. I remember watching it sometime from 2008-2009, on the Irish Television Channel RTÉ 2 on the early morning children's block 'The Den'.

    I remember the show distinctly featuring a cast that consisted of an upbeat tween/teenage brown haired boy that looked a bit like hiccup from 'How To Train Your Dragon', a wise and wacky wizard, and I believe 2-3 other weird yet fitting characters for the stereotypical fantasy/medieval-esque style world you'd expect from a show like that.

    It had the cast living on a ship/boat and a notable part of the show would be them visiting an either enchanted forest where they would happen upon a dark fairy character named either Ingrid or Iris (I can't be sure of the name but she was the most notable character when remembering the story) who would serve under a dark lord type villain.

    She had I believe dark brown or black hair with a gothic-fairy type look to her appearance, black lipstick, black striped stockings and big black boots. She also had a pair of purple wings too.

    I also remember the boy talking to her and trying to befriend her, along with belated attempts of getting her to possibly leave this evil dark lord figure or believe in her self that she doesn't have to do this.

    The style of animation had that rigged bouncy tweened cheap look which was very distinctively early 2000s "fantasy alternative" and had voice acting featuring a British voice acting, the show may of possibly been foreign and dub over but I believe it was a genuinely believe it was a British made show that was imported over to air on Irish TV in order to fill a lineup block.

    I remember the show having a short run on the TV block from the channel and only ever catching a few episodes of it. I genuinely found the show charming, quirky and unique and have searched everywhere for it on multiple lists and have dug through countless Wikipedia entries and websites but to yet no avail.

    My younger self always wanted to see the end to the story line and if anyone could help me out I'd ever so appreciate it.

    Many Thanks!

    Help me find a masterpiece?

    What's the title of an animated short featuring a ballerina or other dancer/female performer where she's tied up like a puppet and is being controlled by a man and she cracks like porcelain doll to be discarded like the girls before her. The crowd doesn't notice she's suffering.

    It’s all set to music I believe to be in Japanese and is beautifully detailed yet I believe it’s amateur.

    Question about spacing

    Spacing refers only to spaces between drawings on each frame, not to spaces beetween frames themselves, is it correct? Also referring to the latter, I came across statements like animation on ones, twos etc. Does it only affects smoothness of animation or is there something more to it?

    I want to learn 3D blender character animation but im having a hard time learning

    Hi guys. Last summer I decided I wanted to give blender a go as I had gotten a new pc togeether and wanted to create cool things (fights, dances ect). I first stared with the donut bu dropped it and moved to a sword in the stone one by CG fast tracks, I then did a 3d low poly model tutorial by crashune academy and I think that was the latest one. With me being a full time uni student I dont have much time on my hands but still want to give it a go, I got some help from a very kind person and then did a ball tutorial to learn the basics but ontop of it not being good i am struggling to find information, unlike 2d animation i am having a hard time finding anything good thats not locked behind a paywall or outdated, and idk what to do next or what the "learning animation pipeline" is

    any help would be appriciated

    I made this video yesterday. Any thoughts on my character designs?

    Personally I think the designs look cool but the eye’s kinda look lifeless.

    I've been animating for a little over a year, and I recently had my first commission from a Boston-based band, and ended up speedrunning an entire music video animation in 9 days.
