I cannot fucking believe there’s a bird called the Andean Cock of the Rock. I like to imagine one that runs a gang and no one knows he’s a bird, like Mechazawa from Cromartie High.

Colors aren’t quite right, but I’ll take it.

Tucking this gem away.

1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai. 

2. Previous post on breakdowns right here 

Some thoughts on acceleration and force

I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns. 

Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful. 

Not so much of a tutorial than a personal experience. I hope you find this interesting hahaha

Inktober 2 - Moonmen Trying to get the curve of the space helmet right was awful, I won't lie, but I still like how it came out.

Chun Li! Maybe more Street Fighter, lots of cool possibilities and looks for dynamic poses and images with these crazies.

A Blanka, this time! I want to out myself as someone who /doesn’t/ play SF much before someone else does, but I love the characters in it - Blanka being one of my favorites.

Almost forgot I made this - one of my characters as Risky Boots from Shantae!

A few more for the night, feeling real arty tonight. Now with ink! Also Sombra and Ariel!

[capnfoobar]

Trying to stay in the groove, at least I can say I made some scribbles tonight.

[capnfoobar]

Getting something out tonight for the first in a while. Hoping to keep the trend, but...? Also, skele-bike! I love this dumb shit, will post more pics of it no doubt

@ritzyhallow yisssssssssss

I’m running an Introductory Animation Workshop with creative arts students this Saturday (August 20, 2016) for The School of Creative Arts Open Day at Melbourne Polytechnic’s Prahran Campus. I’ve rotoscoped and broken down some of the greatest dance gifs to their basic poses and we’re going to collaboratively design characters then MAKE THEM DANCE!!

Come down, check out the campus and say HI!

I can’t wait to see the weird animated goofs that result from this workshop, I’ll post them in a couple of days so we can all be in awe of their hilarious spontaneity!
