Makin' Progress, bit by bit

Getting some voice work in while I work on animating the ending. It wont be very long, so the full video should be finished sooner rather than later. 

Assuming nothing goes wrong offline.

Tatiana Sketch/Design

Had an idea for a Squirrel girl who does fencing stuff. I think her proportions might be a little too much, but we'll see.

My original idea for doing a tween animation for a walk cycle didn't work out as intended, so I sketched this up. I'll do the walk cycle stuff thing tomorrow, hopefully.

AI Interpolation test

So on my birthday I bought some more programs for doing pixelart, and one of them was an AI interpolation thing.

I posted this on Twitter earlier but here's the patreon post just for shits and giggles. Reuploading the old animation for comparisons sake.

It's not perfect - this was after a good deal of cleanup, a...

Butros Chop 3, basic attacks done

I COULD ALWAYS DO MORE BUT THEN I'D NEVER GET THIS DUMB ANIMATION MADE

So now that the BASIC stuff I wanted to do is done, I'm gonna do a few other poses for Butros (walking, hurt, jumping, etc) than move onto story specific anims and then ACTUALLY PUT THE THING TOGETHER

So like the Idle pose I did earlier, I'm ...

Idle test

So I'd been called out for not animating idle animations or anything, and that's largely because I wanted to do something like this.

Acquiring new software to play with definitely helped, as well as finding out about...The Rumble Fish 2? which uses a similar animation style.

Seems like an efficient way to add fr...

Happy New Year!

I know I'm still just chipping away at this dumb project but I hope everyone has a save new year.

Gettin' back into it

Slowly but surely

I might be kind of slwo for the next couple of days.

Wasn't planning to upload these but I'm increasingly stressed out by some pet related life stuff. 

I'm hoping it doesn't bog me down for very long. But we'll see what happens.

More Butros Progress

Gettin' there! Actually halfway done with the basic ground attacks

Blender FX Test Electricity

Messing with some materials. Seeing how it goes. Think I'm good with it!

Butros Chop

Man unarmed attacks are hard. Added a small effect to try and help convey what I wanted to do here, but we'll see how it looks once it's all said and done. Onto the next one.

Butros jab 2

Got some stuff that let me change my setup and work a lot easier/more efficiently? we'll see how it works.

Butros Jab

aaaa

Quick and dirty tests

Thanks to some commands from a Maplemation tutorial, I got to import a buncha work I did a few months ago into Animate. Gave me a chance to test some effects and sounds.   

Getting the 3D rotate tool to cooperate is still like pulling teeth but the rest seems like smooth sailing. Once I get the actual assets done...  

...

Butros Surge/Burst anim

Getting there.

Warmup/Practice sprite dump

Been trying to get back into the swing of things with stills here or there. So have some borderline awkward proportioned characters.

Kalivia

Character based on some skyrim shenanigans. Might do more with her, but for now just getting back into things.

Butros design tweaks

I'VE DRAWN THIS GUY BEFORE ACTUALLY, but since he's the next character I was gonna work on, I wanted to touch it up some. I'm gonna try to do the basic stuff for him, than actually start ANIMATING

ARGUHGH

Astegur block/overwhelmed poses

OK I CAN FINALLY WORK ON THE NEXT CHARACTER FUCK

Hurt Poses / Update

I kinda hit a malaise at the start of this month. But I'm starting to get out of it.

Think a combination of computer issues and family issues were just dragging me down. But I'm finally drawing again. There's maybe 4, 5 more poses of this dumb Cow to do, and then I can move onto the other character. Finally.

Sti...

Been kinda slow lately.

I've been quiet about it here. Oral Surgery + Death in the family + all kinds of silly shit have drained me these past few weeks. I'm hoping to pick things up again soon. Just kinda agh right now.

I'm debating asking for some patron input on stuff once I finish the sprites I need for this dumb cow. Which should be soon :V assumi...

Computer Upgrade Get

So due to some shenanigans on Craigslist, I got some upgraded stuff for my computer. I have yet to try it with anything demanding like Blender Rendering or high-end games, but it has given me an opportunity to update some desperately needed programs.

That, on top of some family related drama, has kinda stuck me in a lull these p...

Animated sword stuff

That third ones supposed to be an overhead lunge that makes him go forward. But oogh I'm not animating that yet.

Third hit finished - and the sheet so far.

Now onto other stuff.

Changing payment back to Monthly

Since I'm more productive and stuff. Gonna try to post as I make things. There's one or two things I have planned that might be a little more private, but focusing a lot on my Patron projects going forward.

Kept it per-creation because I wasn't active and didn't wanna charge people. Do wanna give ya'll a heads up though. Sorry a...

Video Diary Test

see how this goes ahahahaha kill me.

Walkcycles and alternative scheduling

Hey look he can move. Ignore the transition back to his standing pose.

Things have been nuts and crazy lately but I'm trying out... I guess you'd call it a video diary? I've been recording drawing, since streaming at 4-6am is... dumb.

Once it's done rendering i'll throw on some amateur commentary and upload it. ...

Character Designs

Something I did for a few friends. Might use them for my project stuff later.

Hey look I'm fleshing out that sketch some

4 Frames is criminally low for a walk cycle but between different characters and different animations, there's a ton I want to do.

Good to be... efficient? about it.

Now that I'm alive again

I need to work on some stuff I owe people, but I'm gonna try to be more active and 

actually update this with what i'm doing. oogh.
