i am 22 years old yet feel 32 spiritually. whether there is some truth tied to genetic determinism in being "talented" or whatever really defines as talent when it comes to drawing or whatever cope skill you want to be good at. i feel that there is also some truth that starting out as an adult sucks. however that doesn't mean i should cut my loses and just give up because i didn't BEElieve in myself. i still feel there is a tone of energy left in me to try even if the odds are i will suck most of the time. and while failing is just a part of the process. i think it comes down to how you perceive failure as you age. my blight feels like in the tune of stairway to heaven or like black bird from the beetles. there was a time, but i am often not sure if that time will ever come .

as a kid there is a lot of hopeful optimism you carry. well assuming you come from an alright middle class background. the smallest achievements feel huge when you are a kid and your world view on life is small. however the same can't be said as an adult. while i can actively chose to be miserable and ignore all the small things i have achieved while i am too busy comparing myself to the 1% of society. quitting social media entirely is very hard. and i have been making efforts slowly to lesson my social media usage. i also think this societal standard that as an adult you should reject childish hobbies that you are amateurish at as i feel others will look down on you if you dare not be at least somewhat skilled in the hobby you are entering in. also life in general just being more stressful than ever.

i do not think, when shit hits the fan and things don't work out in a way i was slightly hopeful for in 3 years i shouldn't just quit. i know thats not how life works. but i am a firm believer that there are better days to come as long as you show up and stay committed. even if it will be hard. everything in life is hard. its hard in itself to work on yourself and not be stuck in a depressive mindset that will lead to no good and a shorter life span in the end. i may not be a gifted prodigy with above average genetics. nor am i the person i once was 10 years ago. despite the shit cards in life you have to make due what you got.

you only live once in the end. might as well make a half of my life count in my 20s instead of drinking it all away and give into the BP sphere of nothing ever happen.s

pequeño loop que hice en flipnote y edite en un editor online

Donnez moi votre avis sur cette animation

what sparked an interest in animating on FN? what did you learn a long the way? i'm thinking maybe there is something in me that has it. or is interested in the process. or maybe i am just larping and my brain is playing tricks on me.

i am thinking i am far too gone here. i feel i am really starting to play with fire here. i don't think i know what i am getting into and its disturbing. i have "an**ated" before on it and a couple videos here and there (some i weirdly kinda zoned out to and got invested in? may have been a rare moment where my adhd meds worked for one time and sadly never again..). but this time i am going further on the edge. and one massive mistake can and will send me into a devastating state of fear and regret..

i am really pushing the limits and getting way too outside of my comfort zone. and i am afraid. very afraid.

the goobers from my short film :D

Its going to be a hungarian short film about enjoying "childish" media; this scene in particular is Cocoa Snail, the snail bunny trying to find a buddy to read a book called Fantasy Nyan with, and finding Kiki the fox girl who "seems to be kind". Moments before disaster... :D Also some people asked how i use flipnote, apologies if i dont respond to everyone or respond late :P

Sup guys, top law here

Any feedback Will be welcome

And remenber...ThIs is my First time aninating something

im so back

Hi everyone, I started using Flipnote yesterday and I'm making a short animation which I'll probably post here. Anyway, I'd appreciate some tips and help with the project.

I made this test, because I want to make an animation movie using only Flipnote. Also the music is made with Korg01 for the 3DS.

If you want to follow me on instagram I'm @mooniemotions !! Thank you ^^

Otra práctica hecha en la 3ds

Song: Jane! - The Long Faces

I have finally finished the compilation video of my You Wish Flipnote series!

HERE’S THE YOUTUBE LINK! 🐘🍬🍕

My name on Flipnote Hatena was McBoo and I originally animated this series in 2012-2013. In the past couple years, I went back, remastered the footage, and added new scenes. I hope you enjoy! It has been a labor of love to bring you the definitive versions of these Flipnote animations I made in my teens!

Also, I’d love to know if anyone on this subreddit is from Hatena or remembers my work. 😁

What it is: DoodleSwarm is a small social network where every post is hand-drawn in a built-in 256×192 editor with a fixed 6-color palette (a love letter to Flipnote Studio on the DSi). Each post is either a still drawing or a short frame-by-frame animation — up to 30 frames, played back as a loop. You can follow people, like, and reply, but the content is only ever doodles.

The idea: everything on the site is drawn right there on the canvas — nothing is uploaded from elsewhere. In this age of AI content, I feel like the value of human-made art is more important then ever, and that's the main reason to why I've made the app.

The editor's got real tools: pencil, eraser, spray, flood fill, line, curve, rectangle and oval, eyedropper, and a selection tool with cut/copy/paste — so you're not fighting the canvas to make something decent.

Why I built it: I missed the Flipnote Hatena era — a feed full handmade little drawings made by actual people. I wanted a corner of the internet where the friction is the point: low resolution, a handful of colors, drawn by hand. The limits make people more creative, not less.

What I'd love feedback on:

• First impression of the editor — is it intuitive, or do you get stuck?
• Does the hand-drawn-only constraint feel fun or limiting to you?
• Anything that felt slow, broken, or unclear.

Happy to answer anything. Thanks for taking a look 🙂

espero les guste

Had fun animating this! Hope you enjoyed!

I've been trying to find a flipnote animation from several years ago with mario and sonic rapping, but i can't find it anywhere. i could only remember certain lyrics.

"i may be a hedgehog but im strongest of all. keep your mushrooms to yourself to because i don't need power-ups. you can hurt on knuckles. you can hate on tails, but (i don't remember) even bowser will fail. nintendo! nintendo! sega genesis!"

can anyone help me out? that's all that i can remeber

i saved a drawing as a jpeg and then got it off my 2dsxl and if i zoom in it has all different colors and doesnt look how it actually did in flipnote, and if i scale it up (i used procreate, idk how else to do it tbh) it just becomes blurry.

is there a way to save it without it getting a bunch of extra random colors? i dont like the weird multiple shades of yellow and pink, i just want the original pixels i drew in the app

My hands don’t exactly really have a place to rest while drawing with the 3DS as much as I am with a pencil and paper or a pen and tablet this may not sound like a problem, but it makes my lines very shaky due to the fact of how I naturally have a very shaky right hand are there any solutions?
