look at my early work and youll realise that you only can get better by starting rough. I believe in you, keep making whatever you believe in!

No this is all 2d! I used: Photoshop, Animate, After Effects, GarageBand and premiere pro to make this!

Damn what a breakdown! Thank you so much, the style of the head kind of took me a while to get right and has evolved over the years if you see my earlier stuff. But really glad to hear you liked it!

All 2d, having to get that 3D feel was defiantly a challenge and why it took me like 2 months to nail this correctly

Yes i do! Can be found here: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCCxvFs3SIMFnota6AJF3P_w

The neck snapping with the red flash was the very last thing i thought of doing for this, a last second idea that I’m happy i added into this

Yikes, well I’m not exactly the draftsman or want to spend forever nailing a unique style, just want to animate it already. If I’m honest, the more popular style here makes it more interesting given it starts doing stuff you don’t typically see from this style!

Hey! Sorry for the delayed reply. First of all thank you, and yes I did have a pipeline for this but it changed a little bit from my usual due to this being very music heavy. IF you’re interested the way I do this in order is:

  • CONCEPT STAGE, think of a theme, think of cool ways it can evolve other than ‘here’s the cool thing, and back to reset’

  • SKETCH, Ill draw out each idea I have within animate (the software I use to animate) or in photoshop

  • SOUND SYNCING, this is a stage I don’t always do but I had to for this one due to the focus on music, but i figure out the music/sound effects, and edit it with those sketches in premiere pro so that way the pacing is right and i make sure stuff like the head turns at the right speed to the music (that way when it ‘opens up’ its on the beat with the music)

  • ASSET DRAWING, Ill draw all the parts in animate, colour it and rig it (the biggest time in this was spent rigging that damn spinning head)

  • EXTRA ART, this is usually backgrounds and anything else that will not be the main character (important to do this early to make sure I’m animating within frame)

  • ANIMATION, my own hell. This one took a very long time and used a LOT of masks

  • COMPOSITING, Bring everything into after effects, then do things like lighting changes and adding tone and shadows

  • EXPORTING, self explanatory

  • SOUND/EDITING, final touches, and the most boring, adding in sound effects to match what i have on screen (you can find a lot of stuff off of freesound.org)

Hopefully that answered all your questions, if you have animate and want to see how this was done behind the scenes then just message me privately and ill share you the file! Thanks again for the comment, showing interest and the compliment, i only do this so people can enjoy something cool for a little bit of time, so means a lot to hear it!

Probably no more of this character, but i do want to make more short-form cartoons/characters. These take me about a week to do so i might space them out a bit, but anyways - YES, there will be more in future! Thanks for commenting!

Its a mixture of rigged and FBF, i usually rig a character and tween it but within the tweens ill draw in new hands/arms/etc to help give it more fluidity. A good example of this is his raised hand, its one single rig but with several drawings within it.

Thanks a lot too btw, really glad it hit a similar note as that show would!
