#2D Animation

[martadiasart]

I finally finished my little Messmer animation, only took me 6 months of on/off, trial/error and actual animating/clean uping work. It’s was a lot of work, but it’s cool to have an idea of something you’d like to do and then actually do it. You’l realise your ideas might not be as easy to create as you thought, and it sets your expectations for future endeavours a bit better.

I had in mind of do an Ansbach next, and even though he doesn’t have a second phase or anything of the sort, given how long Messmer took me to do, I think I will just not do it. Malenia would be awesome too, and I had a plan to do Miquella and Consort Radhan but there just isn’t enough hours in the day, of even years in my life, to make animations like these when I have a full time job and life stuff to do. 

This was all done on Procreate, and I originally had absolutely no idea how I would animate the transition from 1st phase to second, how I was going to make the helmet dissipate and the snake appear, but got there in the end, and was good to use my own brains to do the problem solving instead of some lame AI nonsense program. 

Anyway, today’s been a year since Shadow of the Erdtree released, thanks for reading and bye-bye

I always liked the anime illustrations in the original NES Zelda manual, and it saddened me to find out these weren’t actually part of a real animated promotion for the game. So I decided to take those illustrations and re-create them as if they were!

Enjoy this long-lost VHS promotion for the Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo Entertainment System!

My 2025 demo reel! I haven't made a reel since 2017, so it was very difficult, but exciting to choose from the extensive catalog of work I've done throughout the years 💀

Stolen Light

I have finally finished this little animation which I started working on back in July of 2023 and later postponed due to the lack of time and motivation. Honestly I can’t tell for how long I’ve actually worked on it, maybe a bit less than a year.

Extra thoughts about this project under the cut \/

The main reason for this project was practice and in particular camera work, if I remember correctly. A specific scene came into my mind one day, and I thought: «Screw it, I need to practice animating anyway». I have no «proper» education in this field, but I’ve always been interested in animation, so I’m exploring it on my own whenever I’m able to.

While I was working on this project I realized many things, mostly regarding the overall attitude and stereotypes about the creative process. Not sure why exactly but at that time I was more critical of my process in a way that’s rather unproductive; I started placing unnecessary boundaries and trying to work in a more rigid way that seemed «more correct». Needless to say I’d lose my motivation quickly and become confused and even more dissatisfied with the work. But the important thing is that I’ve realized how unhelpful this attitude was, so now I’m going to keep that in mind.

As for the result: I’m not completely satisfied, of course, but with this project it was truly the process that mattered the most. It was a journey full of discoveries. Besides the psychological things I’ve described earlier I still struggle with clean and confident drawing, as well as stylization. Of course since all of my projects are unprofessional I’m not obligated to follow some rules set by a company or a client, but I realize I still have much to learn in the technical and artistic aspect. Anyway I’m glad I’ve finally completed this vignette, and I hope to continue exploring animation as a creative medium in the future.

I feel like I could go on and write out all my emotions here for what was going on in my head during the creation of this, but instead, the only thing I can say is that I'm thankful. That's all there is to it. Storyboard done in storyboard pro. peace

Giving this it's own post because I'm super happy with it. I was doodling and was possessed to create it. Sea bunny boogie :D

I tried animating in Pencil2D for the first time… with a mouse because I was at home and still don’t actually own a drawing tablet.
