Day 38 - Coffee (cont.)

Still working on the same animation, I cleaned it up a little but I still have to in between it and add some things. I have been working a lot so finishing this is taking longer then I thought it would. Tomorrows animation will be something else.

The Official Rules for the Summer of Anime 2017 Contest

While this is mostly a retread of previous years, there are a few new things to note:

1. All debate, questions, comments and concerns should be directed to the contest’s Curator, Arbiter, and Deity of Anime. The Curator, Arbiter and Deity have final say over all rules.

2. Tumblr’s messaging system has proven unreliable so we ask that all participants direct questions, concerns, profile requests and point requests to summerofanime@gmail.com. If you do not receive a reply within a day, please resend your e-mail.

How to Win

1. Watch any anime on the master list. Once you’ve completed a full season of a show, the run of an OVA or the viewing of a movie, you are eligible for the points.

2. Points will only be awarded for anime watched during the contest. If you have watched something before, pick something else. If you have seen everything on the list… this may not be the contest for you.

3. You may rewatch anything you’ve seen previously during the contest for points, so long as you watch it within the time frame of the contest.

4. Once you have finished viewing the anime, contact the Curator, who will administer a trivia question. You may request a second question if you don’t know the first.

5. All anime series are worth four points, while OVAs, Movies and Special Prize Anime have their own assigned value.

6. Each week an anime will be posted that is worth double value on Thursday. You have until the following Thursday at midnight to watch it and request your points getting question. So long as your request is in by midnight, we will accept it as valid for double points.

7. All double points anime now comes from its own self contained list, so viewing it will only be available during that week. If you don’t watch it then, you will be ineligible for the points.

8. The contest runs from midnight June 1st to midnight September 16th. Whoever has the most points at the end wins the title of King/Queen/Ruler of Kawaii and a 25 dollar gift certificate to a business of your choice.

And that’s it! Pretty simple right? Feel free to contact us if you have any concerns and otherwise, let’s get ready to rumble!

Day 34 - Walk cycle (3d) 

The start of a whole walk cycle, I’m using the Franklin rig  (you can get it free online). I didn’t have much time tonight but I did start the legs. I will finish the rest of the body later.  

The rig is NOT mine and the link for the free download is here

Day 29 - Ninjasack (rework and refining)

Did some more work on the ninjasack, changed the background and animated the foot. 

Have been busy working recently so haven’t been able to put a lot out but hopefully I can start doing one every day soon.

Day 25 - Ninjasack

Had fun with this one, like how the rough came out, feel like I might need to clarify the drawings a little bit, and maybe add some music.

Day 23 - Fourth of July

Wanted to do something for Fourth of July. Iv’e only spent one day on it so far and I think its coming along nicely. I did the fireworks in Maya, the characters in Toonboom and everything else in premier and After Effects. 

Its pretty rough still, Im planing on finishing later.

Day 21 - Ballet jump (refining)

Fine tuning the ballet jump I did earlier in the summer. For some reason the playblast comes out is slower then it is in Maya so it looks like she is floating more then I would want.

Day 20 - Headturn

Simple head turn, had a lot of fun with this one.

Think I might refine it later by adding the upperbody and some color.

Day 19 - Walk cycle cleanup cont.

Another day where Im working on cleaning up the walk cycle (still not done). I do think that the walk cycle was a little bit more smooth before. However I need to get better at cleaning up my animation without losing the freshness that I had in the rough.
