wondering about the drawing style, is this a combo of retro and your own style of drawing? i'm seeing a very unique style, with strong influence of retro with a little influence of marvel and dc illustration style.

yup, i'll keep that in mind. need to make a tutorial file for that. thanks for mentioning it, i'll definitely need that. i noticed, planning the sequence of actions can be really tricky and complex, with so many variables up in the air. posing-wise, i'm seeing two lenses can be useful for anime (nar...

i've got the copy of crashcore and made a backup of it here... http://www.begonza.com/animation/aspro/scripts/index.html looks pretty cool, i'm planning on diving into scripting later, once i get my basics squared away. i wonder how these scripts work, do they decorate the runtime display list or th...

thanks vern, i got the next tutorial animated using switches, just like what you wrote. with this, i'll be able to continue working on the fight scene using a combination of several styles learned from this forum. my next step is to take-out the DSLR and 70-200mm lens and play around with character ...

thanks heyvern for the comment. i'll document that in the tutorial. anyway, i made another sample. i'm heading to the next step now, figuring the switch layers in there. http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/aswiki.tutorial.014.02.mov http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/aswiki.tutorial.014.02.anme http:...

bravissimo!

i need help figuring this out. please watch the animation and look at the head. do i have a way controlling the stack order of the shape for any given keyframe? it looks like i don't have that control, though. movie: http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/aswiki.tutorial.014.01.mov the anme file: http:/...

thanks for the reply, really appreciate it.

so yeah, the entire face can be drawn and shaded that way, it's a very nice technique.

by the way, i've documented that part

ok, finally got the technique figured out, it took me some time to figure how the pupil properly placed between the eyeball and eyelid. the example image below shows the style. http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/aswiki.tutorial.011.01.jpg here is the anme file... http://begonza.com/animation/aspro/a...

Wow, I never thought it can be done that way, one layer for just the character, you're simply way ahead of me. I'll practice playing around with the eye and mouth. Still need to figure out how to cut a hole on a shape. Noticed the fill tool worked pretty well along with the define shape tool. I'll g...

interesting.

i tried your style and here is what i got....

QUESTION: More importantly, I continue to have this problem in doing point animation, when I move points around at later times in the timeline it seems to distort points at earlier times. So the points seem to "anticipate" effects I'm after later in the timeline. You can see it pretty clea...

just thought of something interesting.

maybe someone could pick the guy's brain, like an interview.

let's get the artist over here for a Q&A session.
