Preview 2, full vid out hopefully this week! #undertale

Scene from an #Undertale fan anim I'm working on, full short coming soon

synchronicity

No real graphic content but it's labeled this for STROBING so be careful if you are sensitive to that. I set the animation on 4's to help reduce the effect but it could still be rough to look at for some.

This was the first shot I ever did for Infinimart and it was a ton of fun. However, it took me about 3-4 days from rough to clean-up for this one scene so I knew I'd have to pick and choose any hand-drawn moments carefully, which is why there's only one other hand-drawn moment in the season. (7/8)

Rigs have come a long way from the puppets I used to work with on previous projects and I've definitely grown to appreciate them. I couldn't solo animate an entire series without them tbh. But I do always appreciate hand-drawn animation as well! (6/8)

"Rig-based?" Many animated shows utilize whats known as a rig as well as drawn animation.

Like 3D characters, 2d characters can also have "bones" built in that animators can use.

@littledigits.bsky.social is teaching all sorts of rig secrets so follow her if you want to learn more! (5/8)

I did try tightening up the drawings a bit more in this bit from Ep 02. Still not a lot of poses and I didn't VO or ASL ref so my timing was definitely off. Later drawings got way rougher to save time but since this show is primarily rig-based, being on model was less important to me. (4/8)

This will usually than get tightened up, more drawings /poses, and more fleshed out BG being added before getting timed out for animation. However, as the solo artist behind the project, I felt I 'd be ok without needing to take it there. (3/8)

So to begin with, storyboards! I'll usually start with a thumbnail to get an idea of the shot, extremely simple and not super detailed. (2/8)
