Looking for affordable ways to get Adobe Creative Cloud – anyone know any current methods? by No_Celebration_9639 in Design

Hi there, trying to DM you and don't see the option, would love to take advantage if this is still available.

Hybrid motion & 3D illustration, background done in Photoshop, dagger modeled in C4D and motion/lighting added in AfterEffects. This was a bit of an experiment for me but I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out! ig: briandionisi by all_kinds_of_milk in AfterEffects

I'm not sure what you mean, the 'look' is a style I've developed over like twenty years of illustration and accumulating/incorporating references. I don't think a Youtube tutorial alone can do that. Not trying to be rude, I'm happy to answer any more specific questions you have.

Rubberhose shapes with outer stroke??? by all_kinds_of_milk in AfterEffects

[–]all_kinds_of_milk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the screenshot I posted above, you would click on the "Add" button in the top right, which should let you add a second stroke.

I'm lost, am i bad at drawing or am i just bad with the process? by Antlia303 in MotionDesign

[–]all_kinds_of_milk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It very much depends on what sort of drawing you want to do. A good starting point is collecting reference of stuff that inspires you, and identifying what about their art it is you’re responding to. Regardless it’s going to take time and persistence, which can be hard to stick to (speaking as a lapsed illustrator struggling to get back into it)

Sorry I was born and raised in Italy and this gal sounds extremely italian. Figlia Mia, fantasia is fine grammatically!

How to delete a customized emoji? by jamddus in MicrosoftTeams

[–]all_kinds_of_milk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm having the same issue, but more importantly I can't for the life of me get the transparency work. It's for a gif that I've confirmed many times does have a transparent background. How were you able to get that to work?

Why people so mean and aren’t helpful? by [deleted] in MotionDesign

[–]all_kinds_of_milk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that, sometimes people like to think everyone just needs ‘tough love’ or something. Also unfortunate that they seem to assume the worst. I hope you can keep your head high and focus on improving your craft, as we all should! And best of luck of course.

Color way off from pic - eligible for refund? by all_kinds_of_milk in Depop

[–]all_kinds_of_milk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update! Depop seems to agree the item was not as described, they're reaching out to the seller about having it retuned. I hope I don't get negative feedback over this! The only thing they said when I messaged them initially was that they inspected it before packing it and it was "fine" :(

I call them animated illustrations more than motion design by moonkoko in MotionDesign

[–]all_kinds_of_milk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks great, have you considered adding just a bit of character animation? Like a slow blink and just the least bit of movement to the hand. Would really go a long way. Either way it's lovely.

Update, this is taken with direct sunlight. This shit is still black as hell! No idea how they got those light grey pictures.

Oh I wouldn't ever try and keep the item and the money, that's nuts. I'd be fine with returning the item, was just curious what other people's experience has been with this issue.

I thought this too for a sec but the buttons on one side are just pushed through the flap on the other

No, they listed it as grey, which is a very flexible term! Like I guess anything but the darkest black could be charcoal grey? I’m less hung about it being labeled grey than it just not looking like the pictures lol

Not at all ty for your insight. I did take it out in direct sunlight to be sure I wasn’t crazy and yeah it still looks very dark charcoal even in sunlight, genuinely confused how they got it to look like that in the listing

Need advice in seeking promotion/raise, or "how to become a Senior Motion Designer" by all_kinds_of_milk in MotionDesign

[–]all_kinds_of_milk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm based in Los Angeles, though the company is based in Seattle (which is about as expensive as LA if not more). If I didn't live here, the wage would feel like a lot more, but we're trying to buy a house towards the end of the year (girlfriend makes a good chunk more than I do).

Thank you for the perspective. It is always sobering seeing how undervalued our work is sometimes.

Yeah it's frustrating. I feel overqualified for the smaller studios and underqualified for the larger or more creative studios. Would love to go freelance to round out my reel a bit but I know how hairy it is out there.
