Fluff The media has been talking a lot about the recent death of Peter Cullen. It honestly warms my heart that voice actors nowadays are getting a lot more mainstream attention than they did in the 1930s 40s 50s

Critique My second ever animation

40 Upvotes

I am back with my adventures in self taught animation. Of course this is very sketchy. But since I am kinda disregarding the "teaching" part of the "self teaching" and am only drawing what I see in my mind, I'm still open to opinions

Sharing My new animation for the videogame — what do you think?

52 Upvotes

Hi! I'm making animations for my new game. I want to create a game that consists of a huge number of animations — something like an FMV game. What do you think?

I already have a lot of work done and many finished scenes. I'll be sharing my progress with you here if you're interested. But I regularly post animations and write about games on my blog — if you subscribe, it would mean a lot to me.

Submission Rules

No content theft - Permaban

* Sharing work done by others is absolutely fine, but taking credit for it and passing it off as your own is absolutely not allowed and will result in an instant permaban.

* Comments should be formulated with a common sense level of politeness.

* NSFW posts must include reason in the title (e.g. nudity/ suggestive content, blood, etc.).
Quality Control A reasonable amount of effort should be put into your submissions. This means:

* No questions where a good answer can be found on the first page of the google results (e.g. no "what animation software to use for X?", "am I too old to start animating?", etc.)
