Hi there!

We're Magpie & Deer Animations and we share an animation channel, with this being the Tumblr blog to match! Here, we intend to share behind the scenes pictures, progress updates and occasional teasers for our upcoming projects!

We each share various roles in the process but Magpie primarily focuses on lineart and editing, while Deer's specialty is sketching and shading!

We hope you enjoy our works and that you bare with us while we're taking these first steps at learning how to animate! :)
