I Made This SO Quick To Recover From That Poster I’m UPSET Over These Siblings

It's over...

"I don't know exactly what was going through your head at that moment. But, Narinder, I accept your end…"

"An end that didn't come as he expected…" . . .

Extra:

First meal ⋆⭒˚.~

running on only 3 hours of sleep, I present to you, my magnum opus I have no fucking clue how I did this at 3 am 😭

this is based on @/ Public_Spam_Acc’s Macaque design on twitter (idk if they have a tumblr, otherwise I’d tag them orz)

Today I was feeling a bit out of ideas, so I decided to make Narinder and Lamb "human".

I don't really know what to say about this…

What if…

Red Son woke up completely disoriented. His memories were jumbled and confused, his body was in pain and his wounds were bleeding. It felt like he had gotten into a fierce confrontation, but somehow escaped.

Now, lost in the middle of an unfamiliar city, he wondered what had happened as he searched for a safe place…

[ First / Second ] Continued…

. . .

It's been like a LONG time since I wrote a fanfic, but now I can even draw some pages to illustrate them, so I'll try something :D

The trope is pretty simple: Red Son lost his memories after a battle against some demons. After waking up and wandering around for a while disoriented, he meets MK, who helps him recover his memories. In the middle of this, they discover some new things, like feelings that were previously kept secret…

How I Animate

The Technique:

I draw the frames and then I use the liquify tool to push the lines into the next frame and redraw them where I need to. This allows me to keep the lines consistent, but gives me the control of frame by frame animation bc I am still making each frame manually! I also use 3d models as reference to help me with the angles! Super important to use reference while you animate (and with art in general), if youre no good handling 3d models then act it out and record yourself!

The Theory:

i think most people are at least loosely familiar with the 12 principles of animation (if youre not, heres a 2.5 minute video showcasing them!), but may not necessarily know how to employ them. the main 3 i tend to focus on when I animate is rhythm, telegraphing, and inertia so ill cover those there 👍

1. Timing & Rhythm

Timing is how you space out your frames both in how long an individual frame is held for, and also when you drawn an inbetween of two frames you can favour one frame slightly more than the other instead of drawing the exact average of the cels, giving the favoured cel more timing weight.

Left line has the cels evenly spaced out on the timeline, right holds the first cel for longer and the second cel slightly favours the last frame. It creates a more interesting rhythm to the animation! Rhythm is how I think of animation timing. Theres a beat like a song to every animation I make, and creating an interesting beat is what makes an animation fun to watch (for me, anyway):

2. Anticipation / Telegraphing

Before I animate a big change in movement, I like to telegraph that its coming. Usually this is doing a little counter movement in the opposite direction, but thats not the only way to telegraph a motion, e.g. eye movement can telegraph a head turn!

3. Follow-through / Overshoot / Inertia

Unless the movement is mechanical, it wont come to a hard stop and will have some level of bounce or easing out to it. How much "bounce" you add will have a big impact on how the animation feels, but a very subtle bounce will add a natural feeling to the end of a motion.

Secondary animations will use a lot of this, note that the head and the hand have a small amount of continuous motion (primary animation), and then the hair has a lot of bounce and inertia (secondary animation which reacts to the primary animation). Note the different amounts applied to the braid vs the sideburn vs the bangs

anyway! I hope this was insightful ❤️ if you like my art you can commission me by the by :)

More Studies :3

Well, I'm trying my best…

HAPPY VALENTINES 💗🍰
