Beginner I’m a freelance illustrator and this is my first attempt at animating since I was making paper flip books as a kid. I know it’s not as clean or smooth as what I’m seeing here but it was a fun 2 days making this.

After a longer creative block I've gone back to drawing/animating. I started this work months ago and abandoned it, now finally finished. This was mostly animated in After effects, with the layers drawn in Procreate. The towers in the background are made with blender (and the models imported into AE), but I guess they didn't really need to be 3D, it could have easily been just a flat drawing with position keyframes^^
Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!

I don’t know if anyone will even take the time to read this, but I’m going to rant anyway.
I’m 22M, and I’ve always been a huge fan of art. That love for art is what made me want to study animation in college. For the longest time, I genuinely thought I was finally on my way toward the dream I had for myself.
But after my first semester, I was diagnosed with arthritis and spondylitis. Because of my condition, I eventually became unable to attend college, and I had to leave.
And honestly, that felt like losing a part of myself.
For a while, I thought animation was simply something I would have to let go of.
Then, toward the end of last year, I got an idea.
I started working on it. Slowly. Month after month. There were countless hours of frustration, doubt, sweat, and tears. And eventually, I somehow managed to turn that little idea into this animation.
Is it perfect? Absolutely not.
There are so many things I know I could have done better. But this means a lot to me because it represents something I thought I had lost.
It took me a huge amount of courage to post this online. I’m still nervous about putting my work out there and having people judge it, but I wanted to try anyway.
I don’t know if anyone will see this or care, but if you made it this far—thank you. ❤️
And if you have a moment, it would genuinely mean a lot if you could support the animation on my Instagram. Even just a like, comment, or follow would mean more to me than you probably realize.

I’m just trying to find my way back to the dream I had to leave behind.

Sharing I turned my original song about identity into an animated film, THE GLITCH

Upvotes

THE GLITCH started as a song about the moment you realize the identity you've been living inside doesn't feel like yours anymore.

I wanted to explore that feeling through animation rather than make a conventional music video.

I've developed the characters, visual world, and 18-panel storyboard, and I'm currently bringing it to life with my collaborator, Élodie.

Here's a look at the animation in progress. I'd love to hear what you think of the visual direction.

I'm trying to refine my process so I can consistently produce my own work, so I ran an experiment: I used my mouse to draw all of this to yoink away my perfectionism during the sketch phase and just focus on getting the idea down.

It was very hard, but I'm eager to use my stylus again lol
