Hi! My name is Michele, I am an illustrator and animator and have modeled a little, but I am not the best. I am currently trying to put together a process (and a team) to make my animated series. I am also trying to figure out if I want it in 2D or 3D orrrr 3D with a 2D style to it (which is the way I am leaning most). I am interested in paying 2 3D artists to recreate my illustration of my character Zarah in 3D. I have turnaround poses of her and everything.

Please list your socials handles and attach examples of your previous work. I don’t know how long it will take to model and rig a character like this but a month deadline. Looking to get people started on the modeling her by June 1st. So by July 1st. As an artist myself I don’t want to short change anyone or not pay enough but I can pay tops $400. So if you feel you that’s too low please don’t feel like you need to take on less than you know your worth.

Please DM or email me portfolio links if you prefer to @littleastronautstudios24@gmail.com

Thank you!✨

Heres an homage to one of the SNES greats, Super Street Fighter, featuring the wiz n' champ. Check out more of this (and the main series) here:

I noticed an increasing number of comments under the enemy animations before, suggesting that the death animation was underwhelming and a bit lackluster. So I couldn't not do something about it. If you think there's a way these would feel more satisfying, please shoot. (I'm aware there's not nearly enough blood on these, but just you wait.)

Hey all! Christian here of Mr Skelly and 1924us. I just thought id show a little behind the scenes video here on how I make my animations, using the much debated "ROTOSCOPE!"

I, like that earlier poster, have always had a weird vibe towards Rotoscoping, feeling like im "cheating" until I watched many of the greats who had mirrors on their desks, or in their rooms, where they would reference the movement in order to complete an animation. Or in my case, I film all of the movement myself, and rotoscope the skeleton over the top of it. Which requires a ton of work. Could I rig it? Maybe. Could I do this without tracing and simply reference video movement? Sure. Could I filter it through AI and get it to do it for me? Maybe.

DO I LOVE ROTOSCOPING? YES!!!

Thats really what art is about, do we love to do it. Do we love animating? Yes. Are there different ways to do it for all of us? YES!! and I will NEVER look down on the process someone uses to create something IF THEY ARE THE ONES CREATING IT!!!

For centuries as tech progresses people who have long been established in the earlier methods of creativity, look down on the new ways. But as long as we are the ones creating, that is all that really matters. AI does the "creating" part for us, which is the antithesis of art and animation altogether. So we shouldnt be at war with how other people choose to create, we ARE at war with big tech stealing from artists in order to spit out the SPAM meat equivalent of "art".

I love rotoscoping. it is not easy. it takes me several hours to produce several seconds.

I don't know why but hearing that something is rotoscoped immediately makes me feel less impressed by the animation. For example, this sequence by Keisuke Kobayashi on I Want to Eat Your Pancreas; Because the grasp of meticulous human movements and micro fabric movements was insane, I absolutely loved this scene, but seeing that it was just recently tagged as rotoscope on sakugabooru, I now feel less inclined to give him credit for his unreal understanding of movement. I always seem to view it as a crutch rather than a skill set.

This literally took me a day and it's not even close to what I wanted lol

I guess I gotta practice more

Really janky because I didn’t have a stand on hand

I was watching snow white and I was fascinated by the realistic moving ripple effects they had in the river in certain scenes. How was this done back in the 30s? Is it a live action element that is somehow worked in, or is it some cool old technology that I don't know about?
