aniMAYtion day 1!

Timing worked out so this is sort of a year-later redrew of my Vox drawing, thought it'd be neat to see his mental breakdown animated :3 although the freaky background had to be omitted in this version bc procreate was starting to bug out with all the layers but hey that's a learning experience for the upcoming animations

Happy with the posing (even though the right arm drove me NUTS oh my god making that scratching motion look natural almost drove me insane; will be using references in the future holy-) and the screen flickering was super fun to mess with! I might make something with just that so I can really make his face go crazy

Not so happy with the blood/dripping but I also wasn't being as meticulous with that as everything else, so it looks a bit janky.

But, overall, happy with how this translated from idea to final! We love to see Vox pathetic and crazy

aniMAYtion day 2!

This one’s a dtiys from SamziKei over on BlueSky, and I mean the pose is so pretty?? All those wings? I had to animate it.

Bit of a doozy though lmao. The previous animation was mostly just shifting around a single pose, but this one I had to draw each frame of the wing. Took way longer. Love how it turned out! The tail flick scratches my brain really nice too.

The snake.. not so much. If I was doing this on an actual animation software I’d have it moving the entire time, but adding new things to frame ‘layers’ in procreate means duplicating things for every individual frame and- yeah, no.

First time drawing our lovely king as well. Will definitely come back for more of those wings in the future

aniMAYtion day 7, finally!

Got this idea stuck in my head at work and managed to get it out in one sitting. Procreate only crashed one, I call that a win

Do we even know if the snake is real? It seems to just be more of a decorative thing, like a corrupt halo (it’s alive in my heart)

aniMAYtion day 8!

A simpler one, semi-rushed because apparently today is national smile day and he must be made to participate. Also I love the idea of him always smiling but someone just being completely unimpressed even though he’s got 24/7 experience

aniMAYtion day 4!

I feel like I’m simultaneously getting more ambitious while also keeping things simple; this one felt a bit more subtly complex. Snapping fingers? Surprisingly difficult to draw. The tendrils in the back? I originally had more frames for smoothness, but it looked better with less to emphasize speed. Learning as I go!

I wanted to add a bit more subtle movement, like the tips of his hair and some extra shoulder/torso shifts, but I ran out of time. Happy with this though, I especially love the eye flick.

Now, onto the next one

aniMAYtion day 3!

Someone made a mess…

Had to give my OC Vetra some love during this challenge! I’m quite happy with how it turned out, it was a nice blend of “not as many glitchy frames” as Vox and “not as many laggy colour layers” as Lucifer. Just a nice, painless animation experience. (For me, not for whoever she stabbed)

Aside from the audio. Just couldn’t find an easy way to add it short of tossing all the frames into after effects, and I simply did not feel like doing that. Maybe next time.

Meant to post this yesterday whoops anyway,,

I dunno if this has been done before but I’m doing it. Join along if you need the excuse to do some animating! I’ll be attempting Mon/Wed/Fri and hopefully can stick to it for the entire month… we’ll see lmao

aniMAYtion day 6!

A day late because I could not for the life of me wrap my head around this movement. Had to do a few experimentals before getting to this version, but I’m glad I waited and took my time with it.

There’s still some frames in here that I’m like.. ehh. The ears aren’t as floppy as I’d like. But the overall movement is what I envisioned so I can’t complain!
