I’m trying to take preventative measures because I’ve overused my wrist in the past while animating/drawing. Any suggestions?
I want to start doing animatics. But i dont know anything about like what audios i can use without getting in trouble or what i should even do to begin with..
I'm a newbie and intrested in animation. All i did on animation is a small computer course in middle school. Any apps suggestions are welcome
(Had to deepfry it a little bc og file was too big)
Think of movies like Akira, ghost in the shell, ninja scroll, vampire hunter d, Jin Roh. All of those animations are so pleasing to the eye but we don’t see movies or shows like that any longer, just due to how techniques and styles have changed over the years I assume. But if someone tried to replicate the style from the 90’s, would it be cheaper than the modern movies and their styles coming out now?
This is a test for a rig that I'm currently working on in After Effects. I'm using Duik for the body, Joysticks 'n' Sliders for the head turns and SFCaddy for the lip sync. Got a long way to go, but I figured I'd show my progress! This is pre-production for my animated series, Landlords of Rock.
Apologies to anyone that can't tell what's being said. I used UFC's Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett for the voice demo, and he has a very thick Scouse accent 🤣
Lyrics: "I claim This planet on the name of Mars!" "Hmmmm... Probably nothing." "Oh no no no no no no NO!"
He’s here to wiggle
(Triple kick flip) Will do longer combos
I participated in a t-shirt design challenge and the topic was dreams and my dream is to be an artist. I bet there's a bunch here that has that dream as well so I just thought I would share my animation I did to promote my design😊
Just to be clear I'm not trying to make you buy a shirt! It's all up to you if you'd like one🙌
Feedback pls
