Working on my thesis rough animation these last days. I know I'll suffer cleaning this up when the time comes💀 #animation #animacion #wip #opentowork #opentoworkanimation

While I still do the initial thumbnail pass for a sequence on paper (I think better on paper) I don’t import the thumbnails into storyboard pro. I just have them in front of me to look at as I board straight into my rough pass. I can easily get lost in the sauce in thumbnail land so skipping the import phase allows me to commit to my ideas and get results quicker - that way I can find solutions to issues quicker! #openforwork #storyboard #art #animation #drawing #sketch

A couple of weeks ago I was talking with a friend, CFX sup at another company, and he was complaining about something that can sometimes be a headache... prerolls!! He was saying that sometimes animators can't do the preroll, or don't do it the way other departments need it. (what?? Animators dont do preroll?? what??) So I helped him with a fairly simple tool in houdini to create a nice preroll from scratch, so that there is no need to depend on other departments anymore and we can be more productive and self-sufficient. That gave me an idea, understanding that this is a more common problem than I thought. The idea is to do some videos with pro tips (not as a professional, as PROductivity) so that everyone can enjoy!! 😀 Here comes the first one, creating a preroll in houdini!! https://lnkd.in/dkfKhexG

In this video I present a animation created for MARSI Company entirely in Blender. From modeling and rigging to hair simulation and plant growth. The soundtrack is also original, composed by me specifically for this animation.

As the dominoes start to fall in the creative industry I'm going to try to offer some perspective that might bring some solitude and hopefully prevent the bleak outlook from bringing too many down. What we see happening is temporary in the grand scheme of things.. Now im not saying whats happening isnt worrysome, but in the long term we as creatives will bounce back. The driving factor of all this turmoil is the greed derived from that insatiable desire for "record breaking profits", not only is it not sustainable or conducive to quality work product, but it only drives innovation in the form of efficiency.. The most famous scenario of this is Apple computer in the 90s. Greed outweighed creativity and ingenuity, and Apples Board fired Steve Jobs thinking they could continue to profit without that ingenuity. They went bankrupt shortly after, forgetting about what made them special to begin with. Only later needing to hire him back and turn the company into what we know today.. As a creative, i dare say we are the Steve Jobs, being fired by Apple computer... But fret not; No amount of AI or Board of Director can replace the magic you create in the world and the time will come when theyll beg you to come back as their audience dwindles and profits tank. In the meantime keep your chins up and those Pencils and Pixels Sharp. 🤙

Nikki, an acrobat and sorceress, for the ImagineFX magazine challenge! This month the theme was redesigning characters from old-school games and Pandemonium was one of my favorite games as a kid ✨ I hope to work on Nikki a bit more before adding it all to Artstation, but you can sneak a peek!😉 #IFXCharacterRedesign

🔥 How do you craft dynamic action sequences in shonen manga?🥋✨ Taking a page from Anime Village’s ADAMANTO: Unbreakable, here are five key techniques artist Oscar Jimenez uses to infuse movement and energy into every panel: 1. Dynamic Posing: Oscar masterfully employs exaggerated poses to convey the intensity of each character’s actions. 2. Speed Lines: The use of speed lines creates a sense of motion, making every punch, kick, and leap feel impactful. 3. Impact Frames: By incorporating impact frames, Oscar emphasizes the force behind each blow, enhancing the sense of power and adrenaline in the scene. 4. Foreshortening: Skillful foreshortening techniques add depth and dimension to the action, immersing readers in the heart of the battle and intensifying the excitement. 5. Background Details: Attention to detail in the background, such as debris flying or surroundings blurring, enhances the realism and overall impact of the scene. 🎨 Kudos to Oscar for his incredible talent in bringing ADAMANTO: Unbreakable to life with such electrifying action sequences! Better still, we’re using his manga pages to storyboard our upcoming mobile game, ADAMANTO: Unleashed and JRPG, ADAMANTO: Bodo. Lots more updates on the way! #manga #anime #illustration #mobilegames #JRPGS

I went ahead and digitally traced my stylized cartoon animals, and used the soft-brush tool to create the more realistic shades and lighting, as well as including the gradient tool for additional shades in another layer. And usually when I digitally ink things using a color brush outline instead of a black brush outline I personally prefer to include a soft-brush of the shadings/lightings along with the gradient tool on the characters so they'd pop out better (just as I notice they do in Disney films with their colored outlines). But for the heck of it, I decided to try something a bit new-ish instead of making the characters feel perhaps too flat. I'll try and show how my other cartoon animals I sketched look traced out digitally later, but for now, here's this one. Though I dont think I'll do this shading technique all the time, since it is a bit time consuming, but again just thought of trying something a bit new here. #shading #lighting #gradient #gradienttool #outline #inkoutline #photoshop #digitalart #digitalcolor #drawings #animals #anthropomorphicanimals #cartoon #artstyle #stylizedart #art
