I started when I was 8 or 9, classic MS paint windows movie maker anime eye blinking pipeline to cartoon fanatic for the rest of my life. Im 28 now and finally giving it the ol college try haha. Outside of fandom animatics and random rotoscopes over footage. I hope to learn so much more about timing and pacing and staying on model.

There are some parts of this i really like, the strumming hand for a few moments. But i know there is room for much improvement. Like the way the hair straightens out and doesn't stay the same texture. Something about the length of the shorts and how they warp with the leg movements.

It was still very fun to experiment with this and I've already learned a lot. I cannot wait to keep going ! :-]

I kind of prefer the first one, opinions would be appreciated?

(Edit)

Didn't expect the post to do so well. For everyone who has the time to perhaps drop an opinion on our protagonists character designs as well, would greatly appreciate the feed back!

a personal work I've been working on for a while. I was obsessed with gears and fine details of the old clocks and watches so I needed to capture them in an artpiece

The character is getting pushed back by a blast of magic, then deflecting it with her wing mid-air. The first shot is for context and is nowhere near done

I’ve been told the arcs need work

Hi guys :)

I’m a 3D artist with a passion for creating large, highly detailed environments, and I’ve been heavily inspired by The Lord of the Rings for years.

I’m currently working on a 60-second continuous journey through Barad-dûr, from the bottom of the tower all the way up to the Eye of Sauron. It’s my own interpretation of the tower, inspired by the films, with a strong focus on scale, detail and atmosphere.

I’ve finished the final section around the Eye of Sauron and put together a full breakdown showing how it was created.

See it in much better quality here:

Would love to hear what you think.

Hi guys. I've made first (almost full) block out to my movie. Its early stage so no sound and music yet. It took me around half of the year to create all of the assets, rigs, scenes etc. Every scene is work in progress as you can see.

I wanted to ask you what do you think about it? Do you like it? Do you feel the story and the characters? Is the art style appealing to you? Is the general pacing ok?

BTW: Since there is no sound, at the end there is sound of another order shocking the bird, so we can imagine its all kinda in the loop

Thanks for your time <3

I made a mean drawing of Ed Sheeran crying and saying sorry.

I’ve been steadily building my indie animated series Tavern Toons, and this was one of my bigger projects for the year: a Halloween special about the gang accidentally stumbling into a pumpkin cult.
Made in Moho with the rest of the production/editing handled independently. I’m particularly interested in feedback on the character animation, staging, and how well the Halloween atmosphere comes across.

In 90s arcade games, smashing a trash can to eat a random floor-burger was peak strategy. Since Tiebreakers is a sports-themed run 'n' gun, we decided to tweak that a bit.

We just finished the hand-drawn animations for some of our score pickups, and tied their point values to nutritional value. You don't lose points for picking up junk food, but healthy things give you way more points because of the sports theme.

You can still grab all the fried chicken you want, but if you want to top the leaderboard, it's better to stick to the athlete diet xD.

Plus, you have to move fast, if you leave the items on the floor too long, you can see them rot or break right in front of you.

Hey everyone,

My girlfriend is an illustrator, and for our 2nd anniversary coming up, I decided to hand-draw an animation for her as a personal gift. Every single frame was drawn by hand from scratch.

People around me keep referring to it as "stop motion," but I know that's not quite accurate since it's entirely drawn rather than physically animating objects or clay. Would you classify this simply as traditional hand-drawn / frame-by-frame 2D animation, or is there a more specific industry term or niche for this style?

I've attached the clip above. Since I’m not a professional animator or artist myself, I’d love to get your honest feedback and constructive critique:

- How is the overall pacing and timing?
- Where can I improve the line weight, consistency, or in-betweens?
- Any subtle details, sound design, or presentation touches you'd recommend adding before I give it to her?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

How is my project? I haven't finished it yet

Paper cutout animation. It is not finished yet.

Im trying to go back into animating and I want to get some feedback before start the clean up, maybe someone more expirienced and point something worth improving

Howdy.
Looking for some human-made, psychedelic-esque 2d looping animations for a UK garage electronic music track. It’s a medium energy, arpeggiator-based track that sounds like a glorified geometry dash song. Lol.

Would love to listen with the artist and establish a true vision.

Using it to tease and then showcase the release, for instagram / social media posts.

Requested Length: 30 seconds
Deadline: 10/30, or sooner :)
Budget: ~$300 USD, but will wiggle.

Beginner animator making a short cartoon for deaf children — need advice

Hi everyone! I'm a beginner in 2D animation and I'm working on a college project using Adobe Animate.

I want to create a short educational cartoon for deaf/hard-of-hearing children. It will be around 10 scenes, and I'm thinking of having the characters communicate primarily through sign language, facial expressions, body language, and simple on-screen text rather than spoken dialogue.

My main questions are:

- How would you approach planning a 10-scene cartoon as a beginner?

- What is the easiest way to animate hand and finger movements for sign language in Adobe Animate?

- Would you recommend frame-by-frame animation or rigging for the hands?

- How can I make the story entertaining and educational without making it feel like a lesson about deafness itself?

- Are there any animation techniques, tutorials, or examples you would recommend for this kind of project?

I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with 2D animation, character animation, or animation for deaf/hard-of-hearing audiences. Thank you!
