A More Worked On Animation Loop

Been trying to figure out this run cycle for months and gave up a while ago. Not as simple as a walk cycle unfortunately.

Had another idea for a movement loop. I think my problem is that I'm overthinking these. I want all the frames to be perfect, but they won't be.

I don't know why I've just now been struck by the animation bug but I'm grateful that I might be able to finish old work.

Mudwing WTA! (Open!)

Here we have an unfortunately dragon who lost both their front legs, and now rely on the strength of their wings to traverse, both on land and in the air.

This fella is a WTA, or Write to Adopt!

The prompt is simple: Write a backstory on how they lost their limbs and anything else you’d like to add about them!

Feel free to write a story in the replies, or to avoid the reply wordcount limit, feel free to reblog! Any type of additional information you create about them is encouraged, and you can absolutely draw them if you want (though this is mainly a WTA, I’ll make a Draw to Adopt soon)!

I’ll give it a few days before I decide where their new home will be! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! 🧡

rb if you’ve heard of/read watership down im trying to see something. it was such a big part of my childhood and still lives in my heart

Someone has probably already asked you this but do you have any tips on studying/understanding perspective? I keep trying to find resources to learn but none of them really stick or are actually useful

so I'm hoping that your issue isn't just figuring out the difference between 1-point, 2-point, and 3-point perspective and how it works, because there are tons and tons of resources available for that, and I'm guessing what people tend to get tripped up on is what you're supposed to be doing with your grid.

I'm definitely far from being an expert on understanding perspective, but I'll share some of the things that helped ME finally Get It.

Things like eye level and different camera angles can be a GREAT tool to use when doing a comic or storyboard between multiple characters of different heights!! I actually drew an example of this exact thing for a friend about a month ago (I used adventure time characters bc they're easy to draw and have a good height variety):

You can use camera angles like this to add variety to your shots, and even use it to help convey something emotional (using a down-shot on a character to show that they FEEL small, use an up-shot on a character to make them look more intimidating, etc etc)

hope this helps!

I swear I am not obsessed with those two

The thing about woodpeckers tongue wrapping around their head is that it helps them when they bang their head against the tree a thousand times. If I remember correctly it works as a cushion to protect from brain injury. I would like a concussion proof skull please

my first actual post oh no scary
