what software did you use for the tweening?
do u draw the assets externally on another software?
what's your process?
i have limited tweening experience using flash back in college but havent really given it much effort
really fascinated by the planning that goes into making these work without conflict/overlap

>>7443432
good anatomy practice anon very nice
an exercise i'd reccomend is doing character turn arounds in funky perspective framing
really helps hammer those proportion into memory

>>7443544
>what software did you use for the tweening?
it was animated in clip studio, but drawn in SAI because haha can't use clip trial on two pcs. I uhhh don't really have an explanation for "tweening", or did really anything like that. Every moving piece was a different layer group being animated using clip's keyframes. Hat, head, eyes, hair, and all I did was "enable keyframes" on each group and tell them where to go and when.

The manual editing I had to do was making the hat stretch to match the head using free deform, and making two hat layers a top and lower one so when the head fell downwards it still was above the rear of the hat but there was a layer above the head to make it look like it disappeared below a certain point.

>>7443278
>>7443301
These are incredible do you have any socials?

>>7443544
Thank you! Could you give me an example of funky perspective framing? Are you talking like bringing the vanishing points in closer or bumping it up to 4 and 5 point?

By the way, your animations are so fucking crispy. That arm and snap almost looks rotoscoped. Are you a pro?

Thank you! The concept of a "decent" and innocent young lady (look at the elegance of her outfit! (?)) suddenly naked in public is nice, isn’t it? (see the scene with her cute butt hidden behind the tree):3 Usually, it’s only men you see in these kinds of silly situations, so the role reversal is lovely :3

I think erotic content can be more than just repetitive, grotesque close-ups of specific anatomical areas... playing with and subverting the platonic qualities inherent to young women - it’s something I really enjoy doing :3

I see. I don't know your purpose(s) for the game or whether you still have intentions of working on it in the future (not that you have to talk about any of that), but for what a /beg/s opinion is worth your animations are quite good. if you had intentions of making it (or a different game) for the public, I think it'd have a lot of potential for success.

thank you very much. btw you can get aseprite for free too, its open source. you just have to build the version on github. im not sure how much in the trial version is included..
im jealous of the way you are able to animate differently, one is way more exaggerated than the other, and yet you pull them both off. its clear to me that youve been animating for a while, hopefully one day i can make characters as cute as yours.
for colours i mostly just wing it, always picking everything myself and staying away from layers or special brushes, as i think that gives images a too consistent feeling that i tend to dislike. my colour theory isnt that in depth, so i just do the following:
choose only one colour to be the most saturated (in the light), try to stay away in hue shifts from it, and if you do it, dont come too close
choose a scene colour, if possible the opposite from the focus, as things get farther away from the viewer, everything should be affected by it. desaturate accordingly. i love using purple, it just gives scenes a very comfortable feeling.
shadows are always the most saturated, i dont like dark values that have no saturation. every shadow also slowly wanders towards the scene colour to make it a bit more harmonious.
break up monotonous larger spaces (only if they are not moving by hue shifts)
segment layers of moving objects, be it limbs, hair or whatever by value and hue, so that it is easier to recognize whats in the front
im still learning a lot, and hopefully i can come close to those i appreciate one day. personally, i like the coloured pieces you have posted, they have a very cartoony look to them. everything is clearly separated and therefore very readable. the colours dont fight each other for attention too-
an artist i can recommend for colours is syosa, i adore them a lot :> https://collet66.web.fc2.com/gallery/others.html#b1

I've finally come to realize that the guy is piloting the mecha

I'd recommend making pilot's bg color closer to the mecha's color scheme to denote he is inside the cockpit
I initially thought it was a super sentai thing
where there's footage of the actor w/o his costume is intercut with the footage of the stunt guy in the costume

another thing i'd reccomend is matching the pilot's framing with that of the mech in back to back shots
the cut from the mech looking right at the camera to the pilot looking off to the side
followed by the pilot looking at the camera cutting to the mech shooting the beam off to the side confused me initially

the monster spazzing out is 10/10 hilarious
was half expecting a few xray frames thrown in there for flavor

i've had a really good mentor over the years
especially for my country i've had the privilege to work under some of the oldheads
from before mass-produced 3d animation courses cheapened and diluted the animation market here in india
my current mentor was trained under russian animator's by his then employers for production of a big budget animated film
albeit the film died out in production hell
he got good education out of it
with an intrepreter translating the russian professors in real-time to boot

>>7449040
hehehe
look at the tail/ feet closely and you'll see the jitters/imperfection
the secret is guidelines, autism, being horny and selective framing

symmetrical character turn-arounds might appear to have 8 frames for each cardinal direction
but really theres 3 frames that either make or break the whole thing
namely the front, quarter and profile
the rest have the exact same silhouette with the contents swapped around

hence my imperfections at the feet
cuz thats a portion that distorts slightly with flipped perspective
shifting the body slightly forward/backwards
mostly cuz the character is standing within a 3d space and not a flattened image

another trick i pulled is avoiding exact cardinal direction framing
instead of an exact side profile or quarter framing i went with a slightly biased framing
that way the behind horn, knee, eye-lash, eye-brow, shoulder remains visible in the profile frame
thus adding more visual anchors for the in-betweening
the normie viewer wont notice whether its a mechanically perfect turn around akin to a 3d viewport render
thats where imo 3d guys get complacent they take the 3d model's rigidity for granted
thus they fail to micromanage the framing like a 2d animator can
i'm not beholden to complete internal consistency with a 2d drawing
hence i can slightly distort in my poses for greater readability

>>7449388
b-but the horns are integral to her silhouette : (
one's even slightly shorter for asymmetry
i could taper them to be pointier/longer or something
but they're a key feature along with the tail and fluffy eye lashes

>>7449427
Oh my god, so you only have to draw 5 frames then you just reflect 3 of them? It's so simple! I'm in the mentality where every frame has to be hand drawn, but your animations look so clean and crispy

thanks fren : DDD

i think i came off like i hate anime in general
i have a preference to more grounded styles like Cowboy Bebop/Monogatari
yknow stuff where the head is somewhat better defined and grounded
compared to art styles like K-on and SAO
which dont completely commit to the moe blob aesthetic like Lucky Star
they kinda hovers in the uncanny valley imo
where its not fully stylized but not fully grounded either
thats the stuff i wanna avoid
cuz usually people who heavily consume that type of anime have a severly dysmorphed perception of the human face

>>7450617
>Are you rawdogging it with no ref?
T'was revealed to me in a dream
jokes aside i usually get bursts of inspiration
after marathoning through a series / browsing sakugabooru

>>7450630
goes hard anon
very cool
i wanna do a magical girl transformation too now
btw how do you go about labelling the keys?
idk what the correct methodology is (do u go alphabettically? numbered? do different letters denote different shots?)
the ladders denoting spacing i get they're intuitive
but i often see stuff like a6 circled in the corner of the frames, whats that all about?

>i think i came off like i hate anime in general
yeah it comes off like that because of the words you used. also K-on and especially other kyoani shows like hibike is still quite close to the grounded side of the spectrum, if you study it you'll see.
>i have a preference to more grounded styles like Cowboy Bebop/Monogatari
from your girl's design i thought that she would work well in pic related type of more realistic/less deformed (in the japanese sense of the word) design too.

i'm looking forward to seeing more of her anon.

>>7450666
>but i often see stuff like a6 circled in the corner of the frames, whats that all about?
A1 circled means A layer cell 1'st keyframe (B would be a second layer for example)
A6 triangle means a reference drawing for the in-betweeners

>>7450630
Cool!

>i wanna do a magical girl transformation too now
Same here anon. Must be enjoyable to see a transformation drawn out by your own hands.

>>7450630
how many thousands of floating boxes to grind to get to this level??

Am I the only one really pissed off about the current state of western animation? Everyone goes for jap animation now.
Even saw some little shits going "Genga" instead of calling it motherfucking keyframes.

i don't dislike the animes themselves
i've watched most of kyoani series that aired on animax
stuff like hyouka, chunnibiyou and Kon
just that that art style doesn't resonate with me creatively
i find that style tedious to recreate/study

>>7450691

Japanese animation is just held in higher regard, most Western animation nowadays is just puppet slop perpuatually stuck at 3/4th views. For younger generations, that could be all they know. Some western animation of high quality like Primal, Arcane, Invincible, and Lastman are great in their own regards, but few and far in between. There's still nice stuff coming out, but the few good Western series, continuations and reboots can't compare to the deluge of seasonal anime put out each quarter. Even a lower tier Japanese animation with the abuse of still frames, varied frame counts, and possible CGI is leagues above most Western stuff in terms of vision, but when the West does try it usually blows the average Japanese stuff out of the water and most of the time it's either French or Eastern European.

Japanese animation is targeted for all demographics while Western animation is generally seen as childern's stuff or edgy comedies for manchildern.

>>7451131
>Primal
primal fissled out in the last season
the drop in quality was very jarring

>while Western animation is generally seen as childern's stuff or edgy comedies for manchildern

i've been drawing for about 8 years before i started animating

Still can't decide what program i want to sink my time into learning with. I have animate 2021 but i hate the brushes. Is toonboom just anime with better brushes?

>>7453407
just use TVPaint if you want good brushes anon
see >>7443201 for a cracked version still floating around

>>7453429
So can you still apply modern tutorials to this version of tv paint? The layout looks pretty different.

the key binds are pretty esoteric
you might hafta re-bind some commands manually into something sane
and the camera /tweening pipeline is kinda retarded
otherwise its great for doodles/sketches

>>7453439
yeah most of em still apply albeit some menus are in different spots
you'llhafta troubleshoot some stuff
but for traditional 2d animation its comfy

Do you know of an animation fad/tren that's popular right now to raise my followers count?
:3

>>7456415
sex

>>7456415
see: >>7456427 if your'e shameless
if its on twitter try doing something related to that japanese jester person
who is going viral doing tricks like juggling/balance
i've seen 2 animators go viral making animations about them
should work if ur animation has charm

>>7456434
Pestrica? Alright I'll give it a try.

This is like a really really rudimentary question, but when using CSP for animation, how do you reuse lineart between frames so you can only change one thing? Right now the only way I know is to copy the frame then edit the frames to assign the copies to the timeline. Is it really just make multiple copies then assign all of those to the timeline? It feels like there should be some easier efficient way I'm not aware of.

>>7456451
Nevermind I think I figured it out. It involves setting your base layer as a reference layer then all new cels will use the base layer allowing for edits. You just uncheck the reference layer when done. I'm posting in case any other newbies like me ever wondered how to keep frames consistent

i also did a blackened impact frame ver
although personally i prefer the og

>>7456141
forgor to reply to this one
very cool idea in action
i'll be imitating this excersise
so like make the subject follow an orbit at different rpms
so one does a single orbit the other does double that and so on
could make for a fun smear frame study
very cool : DDD

>>7456630
Only do black frame at beginning of the flash I think. That mimics an explosion. That looks like they're sucking the light out of the room

>>7456628
>>7456488
Nevermind I "figured it out" with chatgpt and chatgpt hallucinated a bullshit answer. It doesn't look like there's any layer linking/ layer reusing available for csp outside of the manual method

Every tutorial on CSP for animation makes me want to hurt a stray cat in Japan specifically because the Japanese love to do things backasswards.

>>7456718
Have you considered that in fact their way is the correct one?

>>7456643
Why don't you just put the static elements in one folder and the animated elements in another? This is analogous to how it would be traditionally done shooting cels.

>>7456955
Japs can't code for shit. It's why CSP still can't use GPU acceleration.

>>7457082
Exactly, that's why Japan needs to import Indians to code for them, they'll probably make really good animators too

>>7457164

>they'll probably make really good animators too
