How it was made behind the "read more" thing!👇

----------------1.References-----------------

As reference I used this pages from a Sonic IDW comic recopilation I have, and my experience drawing the character (search Hopeless future comic chapter 1 and 2 for example). Silver is specially hard to animate not only because of his hair shape, but because of the lack of public oficial reefsheets he have. This is probably due to the fact that he NEVER has apeared on a TV show or media. Like for example "Sonic X".

----------------2.Rought pass---------------

The most important part of any 2D animation: start very VERY simple so you don't die trying to animating. (But first the storyboard. This animation was planed since a lot of time and that's why it doesn't apear here but I also made a storyboard for the ocasion. It is lost on some sketchbook so that's why is not apearing on this Making of 😅

The "K" on some frames are for mark the Keyposes, the rest are inbetweens. Is the first time on decades that I use the timing charm too. As you can see, the character movements are slowest when the animation is finishing, as the timing charm is marking.

-------------3.Rought animation------------

Once the Rought pass was done, I used it as a base for create a more detailed sketch. Here you can already recognice the character

------------------4.Cleanup------------------

This was the most tedious and time-consuming part of this animation (And I think it is on all the 2D animations). Because cleanup is not about creating, it is about refining what already exists, taking care that the original message remains intact and at the same time is clear and better understood than the sketch. My back still hurts.

I made the the breakdown frame to stay more time too. This wasn't the final cleanup, just the version after aplying some corrections.

---------------5.Final render-----------------

The background + the efects + the colors and such. This is the animation over the "read more" thing. The background here and the efects was completely improvised using the features that Opentoonz provided.

--------------------Extra--------------------

-This animation took only 5 hours to be made and it was started and finished literaly today 10/August/2024

-The intention on this animation was to show how Silver take out his ears for listen things due that in some versions of him, you can't see his ears normaly.

-Everything was animated on the program "Opentoonz". An open source program that was used by Studio Gilbi.

-I also discovered that there's a way to make an anime filter there but I never tried it.
