One too many late nights at work 😴

I love dressing up my ttrpg characters. I draw a variety of poses and then make design sheets per pose. This gives me the opportunity to focus on fashion and fold/ clothing practice. Anyway, this has been a fun exercise and I'm addicted. I've made over 100 designs this way. (Drawing and coloring on StoryboardPro has become a comfort of mine, for some reason. I'm pretty sure it's because my brain is wired to hustle on this program for hours.)

week1 hw - study for class!! i think ill do more

feedback: watch tangents and overlapping poses -- keep silhouettes of objects, action, poses, people more seperated for clarity, even if sacrificing accuracy

It's october and I remembered I have a tradition where I draw Wester in halloween costumes so here's some old doodles. I imagine that his friend from university, Quinn (they/them) takes charge of the costumes and that's why they're in so many of these. Some are definitely jokes and references for my group, but it's all for fun during the season~~

Now to think of some doodles for this year > u >

[morigarden]

these r my fav parts tbh

i got distracted and decided i needed to board hold them down because I had a image in my head and god that song is fucked up but artistically it is something that I couldn't get out of my head- anyway have a blurry snippet of how I stage my boards (I do 4 passes, stage one is this then 2 is putting it into sbpro then clean up then fancy shading then camera moves) sometimes I skip steps or just do 2 passes and run off anyway I don't think u can actually see anything on the image that well but tw for alluding to murder and sa cuz that's what the song is

Here Today - A TordEdd Animatic

so um ... I started this in OCTOBER of 2022? I put it off due to not having the motivation to set up my tablet to get SBPro open lmao. that's the only reason it sat almost finished for months. anyway. It's finally done enough for me to be satisfied... Here you go! Enjoy!

Hi, Ariel! Thanks for your blog, your works inspires me a lot. Have you got any sources to improve rhythm and timing skills in animatic?

Thank you! Hm, I don't think I really have any resources on learning about timing- it's kind of something that I learnt on the go? I think if you're starting out, using a musical sequence is a great practice because the timing and rhythm are right there for you! Having certain actions and camera moves on the beat of the song (or mickey mousing it as it's sometimes called) can help with the visual flow of an animatic.

I use a combo of storyboard pro and iMovie (lol) when I'm building animatics. You can get really into the nitty gritty of adjusting poses to sound when you work in timeline mode in SBpro, but for camera stuff you might want to use a different editing program that's more robust like iMovie or Premiere. I think for timing, it also helps to know a bit about how animation timing works too.

You ever see animation that looks kinda sluggish? Sometimes people wanna try techniques like smear frames or make really fluid animation that ends up looking kind of floaty and slow. I think that a lot of beginners tend to copy these techniques without understanding how they work first- key poses are everything. Focus on what poses and actions are needed to convey what you're trying to show (walking, gesturing, etc). Adding in-betweens can alter how we get to those key poses, so fiddling around with how long it takes to get to each key pose will really alter your timing!

I may not be the best at explaining this so I really recommend learning as much as you can about animation timing through videos, books, etc. Hope this was helpful!
