Everyone in every MMO is a special little flower. Ha just kidding. Take a ticket and get in line for your turn at the heroic adventure please.
So this took way longer than it should have for a 40 second animatic. My excuse: working in a restaurant full time is exhausting man. But anyways, this is something that I've wanted to do with Hack 'n' Sketch that I can hopefully do with more regularity in the future. I do have further animatics planned, and when I get more familiar with the software and stuff, I wanna crank them out with better quality and actual movement (imagine dat shit!)
Follow me on Twitter @Toushinu for updates on when I post new comics! And you too can be the special little flower in the grand adventure that is the internet! OOOH AAAH.
So because I had nothing else to do this Winter break, I decided I'd start getting into animation! I had this really nice idea I was really into and I started working on it, up until I realized that I didn't know anything about animation. So, I thought I'd reel it back a bit and just do a quick animation of something.
That "quick" animation turned into about 7 days of working for about and hour or two each day, and learning about animation for another hour every day, and has manifested itself into the second long pool of barf you see above :D
This is the start of something beautiful. or at least, something slightly less atrocious than what's up there '___'
Things I learned
-this takes quite a while
like I said before, this takes forever, this was only 24 frames and I was animating on two's (if my phrasing is right)
-even though frames appear for a fraction of a second, details still matter
when I was doing certain things like the clumpy hair, I disregarded the necessity for consistency in abstract forms, but after watching it back during the later stages of production, I realized that structure in that kind of thing still matters. The hair is going ALL over the place :x
-there are a lot of "drawing the same thing slightly more to left" situations
especially when you want things to look like they're bouncing slightly from recoil or whatnot
Lemme know what you think!
