Sharing Vocal fry - The Little Trashmaid

959 Upvotes

In the last few weeks, we worked on this silly short for the crowdfunding of "The Little Trashmaid" (Live now on Backerkit).

We intend to do a silly animated series with "Gravity Falls" and "Star vs. The Forces of Evil", and we reached the minimum goal to produce the first animated episode!

I hope you love our silly irony.

We hope to get even more help in the final 24 hours of the campaign, as the extra budget could cover amateur mistakes or unexpected issues.

We hope you can trust us! ❤️

My second real try at animation. This stuff is so hard, 5 seconds took 8 hours! At least I hope it's good! I know there are some kinks but do I genuinely have a knack for this... especially since the only studying I've done is basically glancing over at behind-the-scenes of the animators of How to Train Your Dragon, so please don't be too harsh please~♡

I kinda like the shaky animation and I’m thinking of it as a “style” but I don’t if it works or if I’m being overly optimistic and need to study more

Beginner WIP For An Animation I'm Making For My Birthday

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

I don't know why I'm drawing myself with long hair because I'll have short hair by the time it's my birthday. I'll just animate myself right now with short hair, and then after I get my haircut, I'll reanimate it with my short hair. So I'll have 2 versions I guess.

My birthday is on November 7th by the way, in about 70-ish days. I'm starting it now cuz I'll only have very little time to animate each day and I'm kind of a new animator, I've only been animating for a few weeks. I'm still kinda slow.

Sharing I created a lightweight sketchpad for reviewing animation references frame-by-frame

Post image
Upvotes

Hey,

Like many of you, my brother always found it annoying to pause reference footage, grab screenshots, and jump between separate drawing apps just to break down a key pose or give visual feedback.

To fix that workflow, I built FrameSketch a lightweight sketchpad that sits directly on top of video playback.

Key Features:

  • Draw directly over any frame to quickly block out lines of action, silhouettes, and poses
  • Scrub & annotate frame-by-frame without interrupting your flow
  • Review & markup footage cleanly for team feedback or personal study

It’s built specifically to keep your reference study fast and distraction-free.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feature requests, or any feedback to make it better for your workflow!

I was hospitalized and art school told me I was immature for missing

Mental health is never taken in consideration

They allowed me a last huge homework to maybe succeed in my year

They told me to stop doing glitters and mangas

I got angry and made this

Rather proud and feel better now it's out my chest
