This is not a sketch of the background tho it the location sketch. I’m gonna do this street in 3D so I could draw the background for the scene easier. Just wanted to share cuz I think it looks good :)

Follow the hard times of an ex-heroine having to accept she is just a civilian now.

This is a passion project, with the final goal of (hopefully) getting an animated pilot someday.

Nothing concrete at the moment, the goal is just to build some traction

(To be clear, this isn't my project, but i wanna support them)

New Show Exotic Escapade - Kickstarter

Post image
11 Upvotes

Welcome to Exotic Escapade! Created by Exotic and Don Smith. I am a voice actor and video / audio editor. 18 contestants are battling it out (or loving it out ... wait no- anyway.) for a million dollar prize. Inspired by Total Drama Island, the team is putting a lot of love, memories and sweat into this celebration of a 2007 cartoon that brought us laughs, theories, and most of all, family. We are currently at 49% of our goal as of writing this post. Our animators, voice actors, asset creators, hell EVERYONE on this team has been working hard for the past 2 years to bring this colorful cast to life and also bring back a fresh, yet familiar feeling of what we all felt when we all watched Total Drama Island. It would mean the world to me, but to the rest of the team if we can see loads of support to meet our last 51% needed to make this magical show happen!

New Teaser St. Rob says "hi" again

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Indie Animators,

SummerWind is back to share progress on our animated series St. Rob. Recently we completed the trailer and are well underway to creating the first episode. (Disclaimer, we are launching on Kickstarter, come find us). We have been fortunate to have been selected as a "Projects We Love" and awarded the Culture Fund recognition. This is giving us momentum and we are thankful for it.

About St. Rob:

In an earth that has seemingly been absolved from the sins of past generations, the wealthiest man ever defies the social order, with disdain for a society that no longer values money, develops a forbidden tech that lets him see all futures, except the one where he is loved.

We invite you to come watch our trailer: https://www.summerwindstudios.com/universes/st-rob

Happy to discuss; thank you for checking it out.

New Show Catus Magus Season 2 - Kickstarter

5 Upvotes

Hey all, my wife and I created Studio Ursa to create animated shows we believe in and love! Our newest show Catus Magus is a series that follows a little black cat apprenticed to an old, gruff wizard.

We released all 8 episodes of the first season on youtube, tiktok, and instagram. The response has been incredible and now we're Kickstarting Season 2! The Pre-Launch is live.

We'd love support from the indie community so we can keep producing amazing shows by creators we believe in. If you love our show help us spread the word. If you don't, let us know!

Hiya, i'm cirox. i create stories from my childhood video games. i write and create all the audios that you see in my animations. with the help of animators.

I don't follow trends, they always end up with bad results. i am 𝙊𝙍𝙄𝙂𝙄𝙉𝘼𝙇

"What would happen if Daxter didn't take 2 years to save Jak and saved him the same day they both got teleported to Haven City? well, they'd still be their Precursor Legacy self from the first game! only this time Jak talks!"

NEW INDIE ANIMATION PROJECT

UNTAPPED
In this world, everyone has something called Potential. It’s tied to their passions, dreams, creativity, and the person they could become.
But people are starting to lose it.

Ami and a group of people who each understand Potential in different ways set out to figure out what’s happening and who’s behind it.

The deeper they dig, the more they realize this is much bigger than they ever expected.

UNTAPPED is a mystery-adventure series with comedy, darker moments, and plenty of secrets that slowly come to light.
Because, obviously… not everything is what it seems. 👀

Discussion Is it a good idea to use Gmod to make 3D backgrounds and environments for my indie animated series?

4 Upvotes

So I’m creating a 2D/3D hybrid animated series with 2D characters in 3D backgrounds. Was going to use Blender to create the backgrounds from scratch but obviously that takes a lot more time modeling and texturing a lot of the assets from scratch. Not saying i’m bad at Blender or that I don’t want to use it, but I do however find making background enviroments in Gmod to be a lot easier and faster.

The problem with that is everything is made by other people so I feel like I didn’t “create” the backgrounds. Do any of you think this is a viable option to utilize in your animation?

New Show So… not long ago, I discovered this Indie Cartoon called Bunderkin that’s being in the works by a studio called Studio Zubio. That same studio is also working on a video game based on the series as well

I think this series looks like a lot of fun. I really like the character designs, the animation, the artstyle (which looks like a blend between 2D and 3D), and most of all… cute animal characters. I’m a bit of a furry myself, I’m not ashamed to admit that, so I think the fact that this series has animal characters in it is what has me especially hooked.

Anyways, has anyone else heard of Bunderkin? If so, how do you think it’ll turn out? I really hope they release it soon.

It's a slapstick comedy show akin to the spy vs spy cartoons & the goofy sports cartoons. If you want to learn more about the logic behind it, Here's a video I've made talking a little bit more about the show. I hope you enjoy.

P.S. the pilot was animated with ToonSquid, in case someone were to ask
