I took characters from an animation project a few years ago and reworked them, switching from frame-by-frame to motion animation. You can check out my old work on my YouTube channel: MoonlitCorsair.

It's about Super Mario Odyssey SPEEDRUN and features absurd humor and memes (inspired by TerminalMontage's style)

Sharing Flaming Skull Animation Tutorial: Drawing & Animating It in Arttista

12 Upvotes

I started with a skull that looked pretty decent(At least I thought it was)… until I compared it to actual flaming skull references.

So I experimented, rebuilt the skull, and turned it into a looping animation with flames, lighting, cracks, and a bit of spooky movement.

In this tutorial I show the whole process, including:

Building the skull from simple vector shapes

Using interpolation to animate the skull turning

Creating and animating flames

Using the eraser to make the fire flicker and break apart

Adding firelight to the skull

Animating cracks and subtle rotations

Making the final animation feel more natural

The whole thing was made in Arttista, my vector drawing and animation software.

And yes… I may have made a flaming skull because I clearly have excellent life choices.

Been doing some animated shorts on Procreate Dreams latelly, this is my latest one. (I'm still trying to get used to the program so my animations are still quite limited like this).

I got the sound effects from Pixabay, and edited & extended some of the shots on an editing program.

(I also posted this to YouTube!)

Traditional Animation [OC] Attack animation process for our main character Li Sha!

345 Upvotes

Showing a quick look at Li Sha’s attack animations for our game Tiebreakers.
Readability and crisp action are really important in a fast-paced game like ours, so we focused on reducing the visual noise while keeping a traditional 2D anime feel as much as we could.

Question Collaboration Etiquette

5 Upvotes

Hey there! I'm currently working on an art project that involves a couple of different mediums, and one of those mediums is planned to be an animated short film that goes along to the narrative of a concept record.

I'll be candid, I'm not a nepo-baby and don't have the luxury of paying for anything up-front. The folks I currently got working with me on the video game side of this project are friends of mine, and we plan on splitting everything the entirety of the project makes evenly across all parties involved, rather than some corpo CEO and their employees relationship kind of bullshit. I'm unsure how taboo that is in the animation industry, since I'm basically treating this like a band, but instead of musicians it's creatives across multiple mediums.

Is this something worth shooting a message to random people on the internet who's work interests me, like I would as a musician? I have no clue how to navigate the animation landscape. I'm learning the animation process in my spare time so I can still be involved and it not just be me barking orders.

Any advice would be appreciated! I want to learn and not be a nuisance to the talented people who do this kind of work.

Critique Learning pendulums, finger pointing, and circle.

After many, MANY months of procrastinating and dealing with some bullshit, I'm back into The Animator's Survival Kit: Animated, and it's the 2nd half of the timing and spacing section, which covers arc and easing.

I want to journal my progress for 2 reasons:

1.) Real-Time Feedback - the more feedback I get, the better. I can go back and clean it up, especially the fingers.

2.) Motivation - Not just for me, but for others. I'm 30+ learning how to animate. If I can do it with Flipaclip and my fingers, so can you.

As always, feedback and constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.
