#since exporting animations takes ages to render… frame by frame….

[4byun]

I SURVIVED THE HARDEST PART OF THIS WEEK !!!! I WIN !!!!!!!!!

[hexfloog]

Hiya! I was thinking about the remastered animation Cel style evil Conan post you put up recently, and I just wanted to say how amazing and impressive it is! I love love love the look of old animation and you really nailed it. I’ve been trying for ages to mimic that look myself and haven’t been able to crack it, so if you ever wanted to talk about your process on this piece, I’d be all ears! Wonderful work, again!

Waaah hi liv!! Thank you, I'm so glad you like it, and that it comes across so convincingly!! One of my favorite things is to make digital art that can have a second life as a different medium, and I wish I had an easy answer for you as to how I go about doing that, but the truth is that it's mostly the result of a lot of trial and error. And a metric ton of references.

Here's a quick process video of my last piece to try to show off what all my layers are like, but I know it's mostly useless without an explanation!! I can't explain it all because I was kinda winging this one for funsies but I can give you general tips for this particular look.

Clip and words below the break!

As a disclaimer I didn't really go into this one intending for it to come out looking the way it did. So it's more of a hybrid look between my usual "clean" digital rendering and a fake screenshot.

[1] Reference, role models, and inspiration - I'm not kidding when I say I used to tote around an entire, dedicated folder filled with printed reference. These days that usually takes the form of about a million browser tabs (￣▽￣) I stare at early Detco and the first six movies a LOT. And Cowboy Bebop. And Akira. And and [insert your choice of 80s-90s anime film]. Depending on the exact look you're trying to replicate, you can always look to a more era-appropriate movie.

I love pulling inspo from films in particular (both animated and live action) because cinema is a whole other art that employs all kinds of techniques for our usual considerations (like lighting and framing), and looking to them can inspire some pretty poignant imagery, especially when you're trying to create something that's meant to mimic a single-frame capture of exactly that. I don't keep up with movies or anything, but I do have my favorites, and it didn't really occur to me to look to them until some of my favorite artists revealed that they do the same with theirs.

For this particular piece, I also had to establish some consistency with the other piece that bookends the scene, so I actually referenced my own art, too.

[2] BIG canvas! I usually work at two or three times the size I expect to export. Following standard aspect ratios for animated productions can help sell the look. Letterboxes have their own ratio, too, if you choose a widescreen canvas; and subtitle fonts are usually standardized to certain font families and colors since their primary purpose is to help make the media accessible. All this is usually a quick google search away, OR… if you're like me, and you still watch physical media… you can just yoink most of this from a real DVD.

[3] Thin lines!! I still can't quite nail the right line weight for these-- I definitely went too thick here-- but they tend to be very fine. And imperfections are good! Nobody has a perfectly steady hand, especially with traditional cels.

[4] Less is usually more when trying to sell a screenshot look… it's easy to over-ink and over-render and-- in my opinion-- restraint is necessary to sell it. This is the hardest thing to explain… it's design vs. rote emulation, I think. But that said, digital aids (next point) do a lot of the heavy lifting in these - as far as the art is concerned, a little will go a long way! These were some of my easiest lines and shading. So on that note…

[5] …Blending modes, masks, and filters are all your friends o___o I get a lot of mileage out of the default tools already available to me in the art software. There's plenty out there that's available for free, too! I recommend you find a fake anime screenshot tutorial, follow it once, and just go nuts when you get to the part where you can play with these settings. The make-or-break for a convincing screenshot-- in my opinion-- is texture and bloom, and all these digital tools will help you achieve that.

I hope this helps!! Hopefully the video can help you see a bit more of the process since I can only really offer tips. It shows everything at full size so you can see the details, so go nuts!

Thank you for the ask! Beaming plenty of good luck that you can find the look you want!!

ALSO I REALLY HOPE THIS IS THE PIECE YOU MEANT I'M LITERALLY ABOUT TO QUEUE THIS UP AND JUST REALIZED THE ONE THAT CAME BEFORE THIS IS MORE REMASTERED CEL ANIMATION LOOK SKSKSKSK

the same tips apply though so i hope they still help all the same :3c

Riven is the sequel to the highly successful computer game Myst. It was distributed initially on five compact discs, and was later released on a single DVD-ROM, along with a 14 minute long making-of video. The Myst style of gameplay in which the user clicked on objects in prerendered still frames and videos was maintained in this sequel; however, it was enhanced by many animated scenes. It is widely regarded by players of Myst and other adventure games to be the most difficult game in the Myst franchise. Which mac for music. Riven was released on Mac/PC CD-ROM disks on October 31, 1997 and was later made available on a DVD-Rom disk.

Riven expands to and is based on the ultimate past and historical background of Myst, fully described in the three books.

The game contains a great deal of information on the culture and language of D'ni. The D'ni language was first used in this game, both in written form and spoken by Cho, a Rivenese person trained to speak basic D'ni phrases. The system of D'ni numbers is also introduced in the game, and it is necessary for the player to learn and read D'ni numbers to complete the game. There is also a system of symbols used for describing colors that the player must learn and apply to solve a puzzle.

From Myst to Riven

There was an illustrated coffee table book made during the development of Riven. It details how Riven got its realistic look, which is a combination of two key factors: ray-tracing in rendering, which video games are only in recent years are able to achieve in real-time; and hand-crafting of each shot with intricate modeling, photo-realistic textures, purposeful lighting, and subtle effects. And of course, it's attention to detail which shows in every aspect.

It was originally released a few weeks after the release of Riven. While no longer officially published, it can still be found via Amazon or eBay.

Graphics improvements compared to Myst

Simple geometry and low texture resolutions made high contrast between light and shadow in the original Myst. Renders for each Age was displayed in a palette of only 256 colors, which, though expertly devised, limited the tonal range of finished images. The screens had 543x332 pixels, taking up approximately three quarters of the screen. It took about two years to make Myst.

The screens in Riven has 608x392 pixels and 256 colors for each image, taking up almost the entire screen. Riven contains over 4,000 fully-rendered scenes and 1,000 QuickTime movies (over three hours of astonishing animation). Some of the scenes took over an hour to render on Cyan's SGI Indigo Workstations (they had 13 of them). At the time the game was made, the various islands which make up Riven was the largest wireframe models anyone had been working with. A single Riven island is represented by about 2.5 million triangles. Intricate detail can be found throughout Riven, from wind-shifted topsoil blanketing a mountainside, to the knotted woodgrain of a table top, to Riven shimmering water, which undulates, reflects and glints in the sun. Riven was in the making for over four years.

The models in Myst were quite simple. For example, there are whole forests of trees on Myst Island but no leaves. When Myst was originally constructed, each tree was modeled using just two cones -- one for the trunk, and one for the foliage. The ground cover for the entire island is a single texture image painted onto an extruded surface. In all, the island has one tenth of the geometric detail of a Riven island.

Although the Graphics Engine for Riven isn't the exact same engine as was used for Myst, it is very similar. Brøderbund had been working on better visual effects since Myst, likening Riven graphics to those in the Mac version of Myst. If you've seen both the Mac and PC versions of Myst, you know the difference.

HMB: Extraordinary Tales

Original Publishing Date: July 8th, 2016 

I have to great passions in life, animation and horror, and whenever I see the two together I get excited. It's rare you see it, so when I discovered this movie I was quickly in to it. Extraordinary Tales is an anthology movie with five animated pieces based on the short stories of Edgar Allan Poe. You have acclaimed horror stars like Bela Lugosi (from early recordings), Christopher Lee and Guillermo del Toro. The animated is mix media, meaning they use a variety of techniques to make it, however, it would seem the most used technique is rotoscoped 3-D animation. What that means is someone made models in a 3-D software and animated in that. However, the exported movie was then painted over, either digitally or by hand. This creates stylized animation while also avoiding pesky rendering time. The shorts are tied together by a narrative of Poe (reincarnated as a raven) taking to death through tomb stones. I'm not a fan of this frame device, mainly because of two things. One, the guy they got to voice Poe is terrible, he doesn't sound at all into it. Second, the visuals are not that gothic. Don't get me wrong, there's naked trees, falling autumn leaves, grave stones, but they are drawing in a bright, warm hue color rather then low saturation and cold hues. It can be done, but here it doesn't give you that "Edgar Allan Poe feeling", if you know what I mean. The first short is perhaps the best one in the film, the Fall of the House of Usher. To summarize the story at its simplest, a man visits his lonely friend in a house, that was once grand and beautiful, now standing on it's last legs and crumbling. After the friend's sister dies, the friend is the last of the Ushers. So he dies and the house falls. The idea behind the story is that the house represents the family, and since the sister and the friend were anti-social and never leaved the house, there is no future Ushers, therefore the family is gone, so the house falls apart. One of my favorite Poe stories, and the amazing visuals in this made it the best of the five. Amazing silhouettes, great character designs, and a fantastic use of color. The shots in this are cinematic, perfect composition and transitions. And the backgrounds have this white scratchiness to it that just adds another flavor of atmosphere. All while the story being narrated by the amazing Christopher Lee. If you don't want to stay for the entire movie, than at least watch this one. The second short is The Tell-Tale Heart. In this one, a man kills an elderly man and shoves him in the floor boards. But he can still hear the heart beating. The beating drives him insane, causing him to confess the killing to the police. Not the strongest piece in the movie, in fact, I'd say it was the weakest. Not to say it was bad, it's just a tough act to follow the House of Usher. Instead of a vast array of colors, the artist chooses black and white. Now, I do like the contrast of the two, but the visuals are not as impressive. Okay, I take that back, the visuals are impressive, by itself, however, the animation feels stiff. But you can say that's because of the film's simplistic approach. I think the thing that annoys me the most about this part is the design of the police. They all look the same, which I guess was a style choice, but it's also kind of lazy. I don't know, that's just nitpicking, I suppose. Whatever, the thing I loved about this one was the narration. Bela Lugosi narrates the story, and yes, while this was hard to hear due to the static of the out of date recording equipment added with Lugosi's aging voice and accent, it was so amazing to hear him again. One of the only time you'll see (or rather hear) both Draculas in the same movie. Wonderful. The third is The Facts and the Case of M. Valdemar. A man fascinated with hypnosis makes a deal with his friend, M. Valdemar, that on his death bed he would allow experimentation with hypnosis on him as he is dying. The man agrees, thinking that death won't come soon for him, but what do you know, death comes soon. While dying in bed, the hypnotist hypnotizes Valdemar into sleep, and then dies. He and the doctors study the corpse, and find that decomposition hasn't set in yet, for some reason. So they eventually snap him out of hypnosis, only to have him spring up alive and explode into green goo. This is the one Poe story I haven't heard of, so I was shocked by this ending. That being said, another great one. The animation is in the style of an old comic book, with black shadows and realistic details on the face. I did find the design of the hypnotist distracting though, for he looks like Vincent Price. Ah well, it wasn't that distracting, if anything it was, huh look at that. The forth was the Pit and the Pendulum. This one shocked me, as I was only familiar with the Vincent Prince movie, so I wasn't expecting a completely different story. A man is sentenced to death by a jury of monks during the spanish inquisition. Insanity drives the man to think a pit has opened up in his cell and him being strapped to a board as a pendulum rocks back and forth above him. I'll admit, this one was boring. The art style wasn't as expressive as the last three, so it didn't sink it as well. If anything, it looked like motion capture 3-D animation, like something you'd see in the a video game. Plus, the fact that nothing happens kind of kills the tension. I mean, the idea of a pendulum rocking back and forth above you, inching closer with every snap, is chilling, but not chilling when you can predict it's all a dream. Maybe it was better translated in the short story, but here, it feels dull. And I hate to admit it, but a big reason why this didn't work was because of Guillermo Del Toro. I love his films and everything he's done, but I couldn't understand a word this dude said. Thankfully the visuals was able to fill in the gaps, but the narration didn't help with anything. And finally, we have the Masque of the Red Death. While not as atmospheric as the first short, it's unique for it has no narration. It's the only short in the entire movie that has no narrator. Instead, we are gazing upon the animation and art, and it is beautiful. The Masque of the Red Death is about a noble who is trying to escape the Red Death plague by secluding off his abbey from the outside world. He and a bunch of other wealthy people decide to throw a masque in the abbey, celebrating and partying in the abbey's decorative seven rooms, each one painted in a primary color, while also containing an act of sin going on. Everything seems like fun until an uninvited quest shows up, who wears the costume of the Red Death. The noble commands him to leave, but oh no, turns out the Red Death is the Red Death! And they all die of the Red Death. The story is an allegory of trying to escape death, and how it'll find a way into your isolated little world. The art in this is astonishing, create use of colors, with green representing the room were gambling takes place (greed), orange representing the dining hall where people waste food (gluttony), and red representing the room where fire dancers preform in (um... I don't know, pride?). I think it was a great short to end on. So overall, this is a beautiful, well made, love letter to Poe and the horror movie genre. It was cinematically pleasant, artistically amazing, and is probably one of my favorite films I've seen this year. That being said... It's not scary. I can call itself a horror movie because it's a adaptation of Poe, but it won't scare you unless you are a little kid, which a little kid would not be watching this because it a hard R due to the nudity in the last short. So, if you are a meat head horror fan who can't take in atmosphere and classic gothic tales, this isn't your movie. But if you are in the mood for a different horror film, one with great art and timeless stories, than this is your movie. If you are a fan of animation or a fan of horror films. And with all that said, what do the critics think of it? 6.4 IMDB. 61% on Rotten Tomatoes. And 59 on Metacritic. You know what? I hate critics. No, I really do. A bunch of narcissistic pricks who don't know how to make art, and yet feel the need to criticize it, like they know what the fuck they are talking about. Fuck off, this movie deserves to be in the 90's. Fuck critics, fuck Babadook, and fuck, this movie was great.
