HOWDY!

I don’t usually do this kind of thing, but just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the support on my art. You guys are awesome, seeing your reactions and comments keep me going. I won’t drag this on too long since I know there’s already a huge back pile of artist thanking everyone, but I’m very appreciative of you guys and I hope I can keep delivering on your expectations.

ON ANOTHER NOTE!

I decided it would be kind of cool to post the PNG’s of the sac pals’ linework so anyone who wanted to could give them new colors, accessories, etc. Feel free to add or take away as much as you want! If you end up posting what you’ve made, send me a link to it, I’d really like to see what you guys come up with. I think this would be a cool way to get in touch with y’all, and maybe if people want we can do more stuff like this.

Frame 2:Anyhow, thank you all again, and hopefully you have some fun messing around with those sac pal drawings!

2 Questions: Do you only do two frames for animation and; are you animating on 4s or different timing?

widdlecolors 2023-06-15 08:55:56

Yeah for stills I try and just use two frames of the linework. Just to imply some life to the drawing or something, sometimes it looks good sometimes not.

I gotta be real I don’t know what that means, I just kind of see how the movement should be and add or take away frames as needed. Biggest thing I do is I make sure I never use the same frame back to back, that way there’s never a moment where the drawing pauses. I hope that kind of answered your question :,) I can’t really explain my timing, a lot of the time I just wing it; and there’s a bunch of examples of how that’s backfired on me. I’m sorry for this long winded and horrible answer.

That's ok. Industry standard is 24 frames per second with 2 frames per second. Not on PC now but it did look like 4 per second. Something to experiment with for sure. :)

I honestly gotta look more into it, if ya got any resources I’ll take em :))

@widdlecolors

12 principles of animation in video form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDqjIdI4bF4
specific to this conversation would be principle 9. Timing.

There is a book by Richard Williams (director of who framed Roger Rabbit) called The Animators Survival Kit, that goes into more intricate detail. https://www.amazon.com/Richard-Williams-Animators-Survival-Expanded/dp/B00SQCLGD4

There is also a bunch of more modern books/guides/video tuts. by folks who worked on more recent day animations. I have not had time to look at them as I am working on my own projects. If you find any thing that has helped you let me know. I want to stick a compendium somewhere. :)

Thank Y’all + Sac Pals
