This is pixel animation I'm made in 2017 (I'm was 11) Don't ask wtf is it, I don't know what was going through my mind then 💀

Bringing this little cat to life with some frame-by-frame animation. Open to animation projects like this.

I didn't get into tactics games until MUCH later, but isometric is such a fun place to animate.

I recently rediscovered and binged "Autodale" by David Armsby again. Its even better than I remembered it being and I even went to his patreon to get his sketchbooks and prints.

Anyways I showed it to a friend who likes the same work as I do, and he was shocked that he'd never encountered it. Which made me think, what else is out there that maybe seems obvious but really maybe only a select niche has stumbled upon.

What works do you remember and think never got the attention they deserved or any artists who make similar works to David? He's still doing "Sauria" but it looks like Autodale is auto-dead sadly.

Links or stills of the works you mention would be awesome by the way.

Dialogue shot blocking, any feedback appreciated!

It's kind of spline/blocking and obviously still a lot of work needs to be done, but do the main poses and acting choices work ok?

My daughter is finishing high school and wants to go into animation.

I'd love to hear from any professionals their thoughts on the industry.

1. How is AI impacting jobs?
   
2. Where do you see it going in the future?
   
3. Is it worth getting a degree in animation?
   
4. If so, are there some schools that are better than others? (SCAD, UCLA, San Jose? others?)
   
5. Any other general feedback or thoughts on picking schools or making the next steps.

Apprecaite anything, I'm not familiar with this industry.

Made for all the caregivers out there… animated mostly in Animate (Flash)

Not here to say if AI is or isn't replacing roles. I just want people's opinions.

I recently attended a local film festival and several key speakers at some of the animation Q&As mentioned AI and how producers/studio heads etc. are actually looking to experiment with AI and use it to replace as one of them called it "donkey work". There was a LOT of sentiment of 'this is happening, don't deny it, it's inevitable' and so on.

I want to develop my skills and find a way into this industry because I love animation, I've been working at it slowly for 3 years now, but I'm quite terrified of going down a road that can end up being phased out. As far as I know, many junior roles are often things like inbetweener and clean-up artist - these are things that the people that have to spend the money to make animations happen are most excited about using AI for.

What skills and qualities should junior animators and students be focusing on to stay relevant? (Not sure if it matters but I am asking from the perspective of a 2D animator here)

Here are some fat bird sprites I've been working on. :) I haven't done much for sprite animation so these are meant to be simple but useable. I hope I get to see someone use them in their projects in the future!

Drew this in Krita in a span of a week. Mostly looking for feedback on the amount of lines I should use for the baggy clothes. And any other errors that you spot.

Thank you in advance!

Argentine series with a cyberpunk style, you can find it right now on YouTube with Spanish and English dubbing.

Highly recommended!

My lil animation of a very cool game 🙂

I have finally completed this music video for a song of mine after 7 months of hard work and a year of teaching myself how to use Blender, it's quite silly!

I released this back in February and never posted anything about it on reddit. Just thought I would share. It's not perfect, but I'm still proud of it.

a good animated background can completely change how a scene feels without the viewer consciously noticing it

a character can stand still while cars move in the distance, curtains react to wind, lights change, people cross behind them, or tiny things move around the environment

none of those details are supposed to steal attention

they're basically there to convince your brain that the world continues outside the character

and when they're missing, you can sometimes feel that something is wrong even if you can't immediately explain why

i think that's one of the hardest parts of animation to appreciate because the best background work is almost invisible

what's a background detail you've noticed in an animated film or show that was way more impressive once you realized someone had to animate it?
