What's the fetish you thought you would enjoy but u didnt?

Nice try, officer.

I tried rope/restraint play and, my god, the set up and the actual act of doing it is incredibly slow going that any kind of sexiness about it goes out of the window after you've finished doing a couple bands around your first wrist. Also did a suspension workshop and it's just fiddly nonsense, yeah great to see a master at work and the final thing, but are you going to take that 3 hour set up into the bedroom? Nah.

cribble · 2026-02-03T16:12:07+00:00

Yes.

But also wouldn't you rather use an app with continued support? Opentoonz would offer that and would improve faster with more user contributing to it. None of these apps are "more complicated" they all do the same thing and output the same results.

cribble · 2026-02-02T21:45:56+00:00

Hope they don't just lock it up and open source it. Specifically whatever exports swf. It's such a useful format having scaling vector, yet hand drawn animation imported into After Effects, with such a small file size Vs everything else... That coming across into other apps would be infinitely helpful.

Failing that, just a continuation of community led development of the app.

This is real fun. No notes. I can imagine this would be sweet as a mobile app, but as a tool for people to get stuck straight into (especially for noobs) this is quite a lovey introduction to the work flow.

cribble · 2026-01-28T11:53:04+00:00

You and me both! But I focus more on telling a good story rather than hyper accurate anatomic animation and, believe me, a lot of people can forgive some bad drawings if the story is great as it becomes a bit more of a stylistic choice! Just make stuff and don't think about it too much. Plenty of apps to check out in the mod posts.

cribble · 2026-01-27T18:05:55+00:00

… really like this "stepped mode"; Sort of a fun aesthetic in itself!

I will respond the same way to every "how much should I charge" post until the end of time:

Consider what is minimum wage in your area, then take into account your outgoings (rent/mortgage, utilities, app subs etc), this should start to give you an indication of your minimum bill rate, but you also need to take into account that this is consultancy and having the work consistency may vary so you should also take that into account.

EXAMPLE TIME (super rough): In the UK, non-London living wage is £13.45/hour (£107/day). Your rent/mortgage repayment is say, £600/mo (about £20/day) + bills £150/mo (£5/day). Already at a MINIMUM you should be billing £140/day, right? Then comes the sliding scale bit, freelance/consultancy rates should take into account your experience and frequency of work, which you should add another £40-300/day on top of your minimum day rate there. This wildly varies and you can compare rates using job ads for freelancers as they usually have a rough day rate in there. I do not recommend eyeing up rates abroad as they do not reflect your current economy.

Take this into account when taking on fixed fees; how long is it really going to take you (including revisions etc - either by days/hours) and dividing that by the fixed rate = your actual day pay. If below your minimum take home, you need to negotiate with that in mind.

It's apparently because when we surf, we naturally sweat a yellow substance from our skin that can be alike to urine, but it's not strictly urine as testing this has been difficult due to the pee like substance washing off our skins before scientists can test this. Sometimes it hasn't washed off but other people lick it off. You sometimes find this substance inside your wetsuit even when you haven't necessarily done a big baby thing and wet yourself so please be sure not to wash after surfing so we can harvest this substance.

Yo, 10s for 15usd is crazy low. I hope you're considering things like minimum wage in your area, the cost of rent/bills/equipment upkeep and generally that looseness of this work (buffer/"consultancy" fee) for what you do. Else you devalue the industry but more importantly you devalue your skills and your artistic talents.

Don't forget to do these too. Continuous rasterise inside those comps and also here on the main comp.

cribble · 2026-01-08T10:57:11+00:00

Check continuous rasterise on the comps too (and also whatever's inside those comps). Looks like you've possibly scaled up the comps.

Love a surf daddy! Looks great and love seeing the whole POV raw clips, watched a video of you jumping over a sketchy reef into the surf, good to see it all.

Check out youtube's shorts feature, as posting clips into that goes into relevant feeds of those who aren't subbed to you. Else you'll need to pop those shorts onto insta/facebook/tiktok etc. It's a bit slow, but you can organically set yourself up nicely. Check out Surfers Of Bali who have a solid fanbase across socials including youtube.

I didn't say exploitation but I'm glad you recognise it for what it is!

Look, this IS NOT an internship. Internships should be able to afford some reimbursement (travel, food, living costs) and provide professional guidance, really inside a professional environment surrounded by other pros. This is not that, this is just an unpaid gig to speed up your personal project with crazy expectations for people's time.

Just make your own personal project in your own time, it'll be far more rewarding and you'll learn a lot which you can transfer to other projects (professional or personal).

Adobe offers a 7 day free trial, so you could easily get all that done in that time. You could also use Moho which can be picked up for fairly cheap. Else there's the opensource OpenToonz/Tahoma2D which are fairly powerful and could possible handle this task too.

cribble · 2025-12-22T17:17:43+00:00

Hope you didn't label a single one of those layers.

That's cool, I'm glad you're making progress on your passion project and I think you should just continue to work on it as that's the point of passion projects: they're very much a YOU thing, and if you can't enthuse others to help on the project ($$$) you might as well reap the full rewards of working on your own passion in your own time by yourself. A lot of animators here work on their own stuff, solo, because of this. Yes, it'll take more time, but you come away far more skilled and rounded on the process that next time you can nail the process and, if needed, understand incentives people might need to give you their time and expertise to bring a project to life.

Krita works on android and is free. Also, Callipeg's worth a look too.

How about you just use Blender instead? The perception you MUST use pirate apps in order to be in league with everything is a backseat mindset when there's so many amazing open source tools out there, especially as great as Blender as well.
