You only just started posting with those accounts. It's a game of accumulation, very few can get lots of followers with just an image or two, and usually that only happens because they have a reputation already, like being a well known animation director, or videogame artist, or something.

how long did that animation in OP take, blank page to finished? and what software?

I'm pretty experienced in 3d animation (my preferred 2d animation right now would honestly be blender's grease pencil because I'm soooo fucking comfy in blender) and I'm even more experienced in figure drawing, but I haven't really broken the seal on 2d animation.

yep, search banned already and most likely shadowbanned as well. With nsfw you have to work fast enough to get a decent or large following before any of that happens, so once you do get any form of traction/following, it would continue to grow from that alone. Try to make fan art of a popular artist oc(That you like) with those animations of yours.

@sexy_beetle

>>7953729
Yeah consistency is key. It's hard to post regularly with animations since it takes so long

>>7953744
around 25 hours of work give or take. I use Toom Boom Harmony, the best 2D software there is imo.
The good thing is that the base principles translate to any medium of animation, you can probably pick up 2D quite fast. I want to learn 3D too, the software is too complicated for my smooth brain though.

>>7953752
It's good, It's a classic for a reason but I would recommend the animators survival kit from richard williams over it
>>
>>7953774
I dont think I'm shadownbanned It was the same in most plataforms. I'm just an unknown artist

>>7953764
lol

I posted a breakdown of the animation I think you guys would like it

>>7953752
I never really read any books I just watched youtube tutorials and animated what came to mind using my general knowledge of how animation works and the 12 principles
>>
>>7953794
People usually discourage it but hashtags on twitter seem to help with reach and growth. I've been drawing stuff for a niche fandom and using hashtags I've been gaining followers and engagement since. Not much but still better than the absolutely nothing at all that I used to get

>>7953798
alright I'll try. Any particular ones?

yeah you are shadowbanned, you got hit with the search suggestion ban, which means you are shadow banned unfortunately.
>>
>>7953804
I don't know it depends on the context of what you animate. If its fanart look up hashtags related to that franchise if its original nsfw then look up some nsfw tags other animators use or tags for the fetish if its specific

Maybe.
I'm still getting likes. Other websites say I'm not shadowbanned. In any case there is nothing I can do so whatever.
It was an inactive account for years so maybe that caused it.
>>
>>7953580
Unironically post your art in related gooner art subreddits, your art will get attention, most of the nsfw artists I know post on reddit as well as twitter. Twitter shadowbans new accounts unless you post enough for several weeks. I don't know if getting followers will help that.
>>
>>7953832
sure i'll try.
I posted in NSFW art subreddits and it got removed in several automatically becouse I dont have enough karma or the account is new and so on. Reddit is weird.
>>
>>7953718
Last thread was particularly pornographic.
>>
>>7953977
Just keep trying. Your stuff is at a level where you can easily gain a following

Question:
Does anyone know of a good web/json animation program, like lottiefiles or Rive, that is preferably not a shitscription?
I've been thinking of adding a bunch of animated elements to my website when I get around to making it, and I'd rather not have to pay any of these scumbag companies if I can.

Why is there shine on her ass checks? How does the direction of light make that work? Furthermore, the bounce light underneath makes no sense.

Well it is a higlight and a reflected light.
Highlights dont follow directions and depend on your point of view. Image related

The other one (on the bottom) is reflected light from the ground. I imagined a shiny wooden floor that is reflecting the moonlight back to her cheeks.

Both are extemely exaggerated and are there to put focus on the butt. It is not a serious light study.

It is coming along great!

Yeah, it's objectively wrong. Just own it being wrong instead of pretending it ain't.

I though that he was genuinely confused haha.
I do tend to sperg out when talking about animation and can come as condescending sometimes. I do agree that the highligh ended up being a little distracting but I need to move on to the next animation.

Anyways new wip.
