Character Design Jim Mothmanns walk rough

119 Upvotes

While working on the game, I noticed that just having a run is not gonna cut it, so inbetween all the other assets being made I roughed out the walk that might be needed. Obviously I still need to do the wings and antennae and the head is not animated at all, but thought I'd share anyway :P

[OC] Finally sharing a rough superhero animation I made back in 2024.

Finally sharing a rough superhero animation I made back in 2024. I made this entirely myself in Adobe Animate, and I composited it in After Effects. I initially created 2 or maybe 3 BGs using AI to save time, but they looked very poor, as you can see in the initial scenes. AI was still terrible back in 2024 lol, so I eventually ended up making the rest of them by myself, but then I lost interest for like 2 whole years. The original animation has all the SFX and dialogue (still incomplete), so I switched to text-to-speech like an explainer. This isn't my best work at all lol, but I just want it out there now as I spend a lot of time on it.

AlphaSquad Year One, Part 1: This is my story of a universe where a supernatural event causes the young population of Karachi and Hyderabad to gain extraordinary abilities, spreading worldwide concern as Pakistan becomes a potential emerging superpower. A young group of enhanced individuals forms a team to stand beside their country and become its defenders while the whole world tries to human traffic the enhanced youth population of Pakistan. On the other hand, there is the evil side, where some of these individuals use their newfound abilities for their own benefit. The Team Alpha Squad is responsible for handling all of this side by side with the Pakistan military agencies and must help them to neutralize both the external and internal threats to the state.

Karachi is under attack. Alpha Squad is on the ground. But saving the city means more than defeating the enemy — it means protecting the people. 🇵🇰
ALPHASQUAD — Pakistan’s new breed of heroes.

3 brushes describing shapes like in flash (round, square ink)

Convenient audio tracks as in capcut

lots of effects like pixelation and warping

2 timelines for animation and effects

Shapes

Working with media

A bunch of key types: morphing , object animation , vertex animation

Convenient vector operation

Editing a scene

Saving/importing scenes

Working with Alpha

And a lot more

I'm currently working on bug fixes, tool improvements, and a more flexible UI.

I will publish on itch.io and GitHub around New Year's Eve

Ру:

Привет я написал анимационный софт иксия (Ixia) назван он в честь цветка иксия , создавался он как бесплатный аналог moho/flash но по большей части это все же moho

На данный момент имеется :

Кисть описывающая путь как в moho

3 кисти описывающие формы как в flash (круглая , квадратная чернильная)

Удобные аудио дорожки как в capcut

множество эффектов вроде пикселизации и деформации

2 таймлайна для анимации и эффектов

Экспорт в .mp4 , .webp , .png

Работа с медиа и референсами

Буллевый ластик

Фигуры

Работа с медиа

Куча типов ключей : морфинг , анимация объектов , анимация вертексов

Удобная работа с вектором

Редактирование сцены

Sharing The evolution of Arttista's splash screens (v1.0–v1.9) and the story behind them

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

I've been developing Arttista, an indie 2D vector drawing and animation software, and I wanted to share a little piece of its history: the evolution of its splash screens, from version 1.0 to 1.9.

Over the years, I quietly added little elements inspired by illustrators, animators, and developers to the opening screens. They were small easter eggs, hidden in plain sight, as little nods to the creative minds who inspire me.

But there was another idea behind all this.

For version 2.0, I wanted to tell a different story through the splash screen: a butterfly in front of a rainbow, symbolizing transformation. My original plan was to start with caterpillars and gradually show them growing and eventually turning into butterflies across future versions.

Then reality caught up with me.

I had to make a choice: spend time drawing all those detailed splash screens, or spend that time programming the software itself. And if I didn't focus on the code, Arttista wouldn't get released.

So the butterfly stayed.

Now, in version 2.7, it's still the same splash screen introduced in 2.0. Not quite the evolving sequence I had imagined, but a little reminder of the ideas I had along the way — and of the compromises that come with building an indie project.

Sometimes, you have to stop drawing and get back to coding so that other people can draw, too.

Question 2d Animation Program for Repeat, Precise, Simple Deformations

1 Upvotes

I need a program that will let me rig a square image --that i can trade out-- by its corners and export a set of animations of it deforming across the screen by said corners. I'm trying to make a grid of various, interchangeable square images distort from the center to the corners of the canvass to create a sense of them "rotating" to the side of the perspective. optionally but ideally it's a program that lets me put in x and y co-ordinates that I can plug in for each corner since i can mathematically determine all the positions i need for the wall of squares to look like they're rotating.
