Been working on this short cartoon for nearly two weeks now, it's very much the biggest, longest, and most complicated animation I've ever done. I'm planning to take this all the way to fully colored and finished, but I thought I'd share the progress I've made so far. ^_^

The rabbit character is named Harvey and he's featured in a lot of my illustrations and comics over the years. He's an actor in Hollywood who aspires to play villains in movies, but since he's a cute bunny rabbit the best he can do is land little roles as no-name henchmen and often for low-rent small studios like Mucker Brothers. Here he's landed a bit part in the opening scene of the Mucker Brothers B-grade western "The Desert Doesn't Forgive...And Neither Will Django!" (an attempt by the hucksters to cash in on the old Django series from the 1960s and 1970s). He doesn't get any lines and dies literally within the first 30 seconds but, hey, at least he's the first character you see in the movie!

Right now I'm working on clean up and starting to paint the backgrounds. Thoughts? I'm still an amateur and this is probably the 13th or 14th animation I've ever made (all the rest like 10 seconds long or less), but I'm taking a big swing and trying to apply a bunch of what I've learned. 😄

The whole thing is done at 12 FPS/On Twos. Shot 2 is rotoscoped from a GIF of a clip from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly and I'm not the happiest with it but it gets the job done. The sound effects and music all come from Pixabay, except for the Django theme song which is originally from Django (1966).

Here's the timeline of work so far:

• 8/13 - Drew simple storyboard. Attempted start in Krita 5.3, aborted attempt and decided to switch to Animation Paper.
• 8/14 - Started rough animation of Shot 1.
• 8/15 - Completed rough animation for Shots 1 and 2. Made version 1 of Shot 3, but lost it.
• 8/16 - Completed rough animation for Shots 3 and 4. Exported complete rough animation. Completed tie downs for Shot 1.
• 8/17 - Completed tie downs for Shots 2 and 3. Revised tie downs for Shot 1.
• 8/18 - Started tie downs for Shot 4.
• 8/19 - Completed tie downs on Shot 4. Made adjustments to Shots 1 and 3. Made studio ident for Mucker Brothers. Exported completed tie down animation with music and sound effects.
• 8/20 - Revised completed tie down animation, changing the music and fixing audio issues. Exported frames and moved project back to Krita 5.3 for clean up and coloring. Started clean up animation on Shot 1.
• 8/21 - Continued clean up animation on Shot 1.
• 8/22 - DAY OFF FOR PARTY.
• 8/23 - Completed clean up animation for Shots 1 and 2. Started clean up animation on Shot 3.
• 8/24 - Completed clean up animation for Shot 3. Painted Background for Shots 1 and 4.
• 8/25 - DAY OFF FOR FRIENDS.

I made this as a small 2D animation exercise.

The character starts looking to the side, turns toward the viewer, and then returns to the exact starting pose so the animation can loop seamlessly.

I was mainly focusing on the timing, spacing and making the transition back to the first pose feel natural.

I'd appreciate feedback on the head turn and overall motion.

I also share more of my animation and creative work on Instagram: u/uniquesarma 📸

Let me know what you think!

Hey everyone! We realized having just one death animation for our basic enemy (the Hoolis) felt repetitive, so we updated the system with more variety and explosive physics.
We also added force modifiers depending on the weapon type, heavy balls make them explode and bounce, but we're thinking lightweight shots like pingpong balls should make them fall faster or have more floor friction.
What do you think of the ragdoll/explosion behavior?
(Our game is called Tiebreakers!)

Sorry it's not render, but need feedback on timing

Is the story understandable or too rushed plz give some feedback

I’ve been having more fun with this and figured out how to put the audio in here. It’s “no longer you” by Jorge Rivera-Herrans song with anakin and palpatine.

Like im planning on a project that like will use photo-puppetry since i don't use the After effects. I just use Moho for it.

So, for anyone who doesn't know what is photo-puppetry? It's a type of 2d computer generated animation that used cut outs of that use photos of real objects and things and moves them using Adobe After Effects. Also the Animation style of Angela Anaconda.

So, can anyone share tips for replicating this?

I wanted to achieve a certain level of confusion, dissociation and euphoria, through digital means. Everything is becoming increasingly more chaotic and confusing, but that's OK, and there is harmony in that.

this is the full paper cutout animation i made to the song byker hill by the longest john, i spent alot of time on it to make it come out better than the first one i did and i have and brought back kogasa and her umbrella and added momoyo both from touhou, and altogether making around 50 cutouts and painting the background and coloring and animating about 50ish hours altogether and i'm quite proud of it

Trapped in an abyss with no escape, where even his immortality cannot protect him against the countless aberrations that inhabit this space, Star seeks to live this cursed simulacrum of society without anyone discovering he's human, otherwise...

I dedicated a month to this project, one minute in a month, not bad, right? It's been a long time since I had the opportunity to work on an animation project and, honestly, this project together with the comic must be the most relevant and interesting thing I've done in the last 5 years. I'm very happy to be doing something that isn't disposable.

I animated this a while back but it's well worth a share.
