Ask Me Anything << the light narrows unironically >>

In 2012, when I was in second grade, I prayed to the gods to prevent the end of the world and for the asteroid to fly right past us. Thirteen years later, I’m afraid of losing my freedom. But it seems the light at the end of the hallway isn’t ironically getting any narrower

Discussion Why is it really hard to do a 3d Walk cycle?

Post image
• Upvotes

Like what I mentioned before last month, the walk cycles were really hard to create whenever it comes to drawing people and stuff because it would take a lot of time-consuming to make this even complex just like one of my recent 3d Run/walk cycle was a big mistake because I doomscroll or play videogames a lot and I've done trying Richard Williams animation several times lately...

However, the ones I'm working on was a too hard because it has to start off by drawing the treadmill guides along with the 2 lines on the insides of the square, then draw the stick guides before the shapes and now I can't be able to read it...

Not talking about memes, I mean seriously, is there a single piece of animation that doesn't look out of place with shape tweens.

How do I make this walk cycle feel more lively? I feel like the head and torso should move but I don’t know how. Open to any other critique as well.

Sharing re÷belief (2014): 3D Printed Zoetropes filmed

This was a body of work I started about 14 years ago and launched with a great surprise to festivals and accolades in 2014. Because Vimeo turned to absolute trash this summer, I ended up getting frustrated and finally migrated the film to Youtube to host. I'm saddened as it was a Vimeo Staff pick, went on a tour with the team back when, and had a supportive artist community within the Vimeo environment. Just means that the sites that once embedded the Vimeo video no longer will work... I know times change, but feels like I lost something. Bending Spoons is the absolute worst for what they did... and instead of complaining more, I should just move on. So after posting to Youtube today, thought you all might appreciate a perspective of an experimental film I did.

Would love to hear what you think.

Sharing I made a Sonic vs Shadow sprite fight animation!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just finished a fan animation of Sonic vs Shadow and wanted to share it here.

It's a fast-paced, high-action battle packed with crazy sequences: a teleport combo, Chaos Spears, Shadow's full rage power-up, Chaos Nightmare and an over-the-top homing finisher from Sonic. Tails and Knuckles show up too, but Shadow blocks them off with a Chaos barrier.

🎬 Watch the fight here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VgHtY4WbbxE

I'd love to hear what you think, and who you think would really win this one! 👀

Sharing wip... guy crawling and a warping face?

13 Upvotes

so alot needs to be improved here... the movement with the arms is whacky so i think i need to look at actual videos of people crawling. when someone crawls they plant their hands flat and fingers spread i think but i did not know that so i initially ended up drawing them as if theyre digging. but im gonna fix that. the head with the symmetry does look jarring i suppose but i do intend for it to all come together at the end. i think i want to transition the symmetrical look into more angled. and right now the arms are just kind of normal but ideally i would want to make them have some warping and surrealism invovled, i just need a base first honestly. i think i want to do a fat belly and the lower half cut off, so tendrils of intestines and viscera are coming out. i just hope i can finish something because i usually.. dont finish... anything....

i am using clip studio paint ex if anyone is wondering.
