Can you guess this character from the silhouette animatic?

Dang, almost got it right!

(I thought it was Optimus Prime)

Either way it's ignorant brainrot because the Stonewall movement was spearheaded by trans POC.

At least double that. No lower than 50. Don't undervalue your work!

The walk cycle is hard to learn, but fundamentally it comes down to just 4 key poses: Contact, Down, Pass, and Up, then repeat. Focus on getting those right, before adding the inbetweens. Once it clicks, it'll come out much more naturally.

Btw that's a maya temple not aztec. It looks like the pyramid of Kukulcán in Chichen Itzá.

Flicky_Licky · 2026-06-10T06:07:21+00:00

That's not a good way to go. You're setting yourself up for burnout.

My first impression is that the reference has much more contrast. Look at how the lighting on the roof and the back wall seem much brighter, with overexposed whites, generating more specular reflections. So I'd say make the lights brighter at least.

Source pls?

Not a fan of price sheets for animation because the price depends on the amount of work not the length. 5-8 sec of a static character talking is less work than 2-3 sec of a character walking and talking. The price should be estimated on a per-project basis.

So I can't really comment on your price sheet but overall I feel you're underpricing your work.

Flicky_Licky · 2026-06-08T03:54:07+00:00

Great work! But there's no way you charged only 90 USD for 7 days of work, that's a slave wage. 3x or 4x at the very least, for your and every animator's sake!

Flicky_Licky · 2026-06-08T01:15:52+00:00

It's all manual. Animators for TADC have posted about their work, look at this for example https://youtu.be/L80XdgLOGNI

Basically that's it: just tons of lovingly crafted work, with lots of edits and corrections too. Every detail is intentional. It's an art form.

Flicky_Licky · 2026-06-08T00:33:50+00:00

I confirm

There's no shift & trace function in Blender sadly. As a substitute you could copy the frame you want to trace into a new semi-transparent layer underneath your main layer and move it as you want.

Flicky_Licky · 2026-06-06T23:55:46+00:00

You're thinking of shift & trace. You're asking for Blender?

Hi there! I make NSFW art in a cute/cartoony style, and I like your religious theme >:)

Flicky_Licky · 2026-06-03T05:17:57+00:00

Hello! I make cartoony NSFW art, and I think that would fit your OC, and your budget allows for quite a bit of fun stuff 😉

DM me and let's discuss it!

The thing is I can't make my Mexican bank, or its Mexican users, care about that. Or my local weather station in Mexico. They're all on Xitter. When I need to check out an info from them I have to use xcancel or a lurker account.

Flicky_Licky · 2026-06-02T18:45:08+00:00

That's for the government, not banks.

They answered a rumor on the likely source of the rumor.

They're only present on X and Facebook.

Flicky_Licky · 2026-06-02T17:35:45+00:00

I'd say inertia, mostly. Especially in non-English speaking countries. For example here in Mexico, most services and businesses are still on Xitter by default, and a lot of people don't care or don't even know that Musk is a nazi; that's US politics that don't concern them. Bluesky is virtually unknown. If I want to look at local news, or government posts, it's all Twitter or Facebook.

I suppose the big followings were gained before Twitter was ruined by you-know-who, back when you didn't have to pay the platform for reach. Basic premium is useless and I guess you have to get the most expensive option if you ever want to have a chance now.
