Scrunko pt 1 is out!

I finished the 1st part of my cartoon, and I'd love it if you gave it a watch!

Remember when you couldn't find episodes of a weird anime you saw on tv at 3 am, and when you found it on a file sharing site (and later youtube) it had BR subtitles baked into it? I do

I'm already working on part 2, and will post some previews and wips on here when they're ready!

[mdpotts]

its been out for a few weeks! Feels crazy that it's out. Please give it a watch if you're so inclined, here's a preview of the next scene too!

Delinquent Galaxy 4komas

Started working on comics for my animation (mostly as a way to get out of being stuck on stuff). Gonna try to post one every Friday. Are they canon? Maybe! Maybe not

[mdpotts]

Workin on some shots again! I started importing the rough animation into my video editor so that I can see how it's developing. Trying to resist the urge to redo some of the shots I already have done. That's the problem when you're the director and animator, there's no one to fight back against scope creep, haha.

In all seriousness though, I'm working really hard on not redoing stuff just because I've thought of a "better" way to do it. I'll just take that knowledge forward and apply it to the next set of shots. I think the static 'people talking' shots are always the hardest. I have a much easier time with action shots.

January’s aminations

Lots of stuff happened this month, but the short story is I haven’t been able to work much on art. I finally got my art setup going again, and have made some more progress on shot 04a

After I finish up this one and a few more, I’ll be closer to my goal of finishing Act 1 by end of February. Originally I had planned on end of January, but we keep on truckin

This week’s update

<:p

I spent a lot of time this week just cleaning up files and updating png sequences in my video editor. I rewrote some of the dialogue after finishing my first pass on the animatic, but still haven’t updated all the audio clips. I always forget that there’s more to animation than...animating, haha.

+Mostly cleaned frame from  shot 03+

I have colored some shots just for the serotonin over time, but I’m mostly focusing on rough animation. I still need to do some background studies to figure out how I want it to look.

+Example of a BG style I decided I don’t like+

Other than audio, backgrounds and layout are probably my least strong skill. Originally I wanted to go for a poster paint style classic 90s anime BG, but I definitely need to do a lot of studies to reach a point where I like what I’m making.

This is a short work week for me, since I’ll be spending time with family for the holidays. I’m hoping when I get back I’ll finish the rough animation of shots 10-12.  I’ve been working fairly linearly, but I think I might jump around more to keep it interesting, lol.

Greetings!

Here are more rough animations from my indie animation Delinquent Galaxy! These are from a short called Scrunko, where the gang try to make an honest living.

I’ve been slowly updating my storyboard and replacing chunks of it with rough animations which has been motivating to see. I will post small updates weekly about it, if only to keep track of it for myself, lol.

Bunny

One of the first animations I did for Delinquent Galaxy. It’s of Bunny the ex-robot cop.

I’m gonna make some more in-depth posts soon!

Been a while

Wow it’s been a while! So what’s up?

I had originally left tumblr because the last time I posted, every image I drew of Zenyatta/genji got flagged as NSFW somehow. I’m talking every picture (even something like this) would get flagged! It was so irritating that I just decided to leave. A friend of mine and I were talking about it recently, and they informed me that that problem has been fixed. So here I am again! I don’t draw Zenyatta quite as much as I used to, but with Overwatch2 coming out soon(ish?), that might change. I still love this robot boy.

I’ve been working on my own animated short for a while now called Delinquent Galaxy, and I’m going to just start posting stuff from that. I was going to make a separate tumblr for it, but since I still have this one I’m going to just post it here!
