My advice Paul is.........You don't need advice, counselling might be in order though. :wink: Hmm, I get the idea that I'm spending more time on this forum than I should. But let me make one thing clear. I never said that shows like Kim Possible, Dexter's Lab and Fairly Odd Parents are crap. They a...

Re: Animation background
I feel that you're aiming for a certain dynamic (as opposed to solid perspective). You're bending lines and shapes but you don't do so consistently. That's why it looks "off kilter". The composition should be based on a really simple idea. Just a couple of lines or colored shapes that dict...

Re: Future Directions for ASP - philosophy and features
WOW! Quickly slam together?!? Im speechless..... Yeah, quickly slam together. I'm well aware of the efforts it takes to make such shows (even though they are prime examples of limited animation) but the end result only needs to superficially look like such shows . Enough to satisfy the customer and...

Re: Future Directions for ASP - philosophy and features
I bought ToonBoom Studio first, but I came to feel that it required too much artistic skill for me so I bought AS Debut 6 There you have it. That's the direction ASP should take. ASP shouldn't try to be a 3D program. There are lots of those already and one really good one is even free (Blender). Su...

Re: What adds to animations visually?
I hear that extreme detailing is what makes an animation truely good graphically otherwise it's "boring & poor". I don't think this is the case though. You think right. Good animation doesn't rely on details. It's about clear expression and strongly stated ideas. It's about the bold s...

Spain played beautiful football and are the true heirs of Total Football. Linus Michels must be turning in his grave. Total football is ours! We stole it fair and square from the Germans. You're just saying that because the ref was a Brit. No, we were better. We've been cheated of our preordained v...

This is great Parker. You can put drawings like this in your portfolio. The whole composition gives the building character (there are some very minor perspective issues but such things are seconday, you pulled of the character and that is the most important part). The post box looks like a guard of ...

Re: My animation of Super Mario
Give me some tips about the animation, want to get better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGGv5xW56iQ[/url] My Mexican (you guys talk Spanish, I guess) is a bit weak so I couldn't follow the dialogue. You want to get better at animation. Imagine that the characters would be solid black silhouettes ...

Linear perspective can make a background appear unimaginative. I think that's why so many animators shun perspective. They would rather their backgrounds appear creative than technically precise. Yes, application of linear perspective can make really boring pictures, when taken to extremes. There a...

To avoid this kind of problem lots of animation uses a style which deliberately fucks up perspective. But often this only looks odd and amateurish. Another attempt is to avoid straight lines as much as possible, in favour of curvy paths and a hilly/bumpy ground. Yes, a lot of nowadays animation see...

Re: One background in different styles
These backgrounds look really great. You got a good feel for color, mood, composition and texture. I've looked at your other backgrounds on DeviantArt as well and they are great. You show that you're capable of using different styles and even use more abstract backgrounds. I think you really got som...

Heck! Throw in a six pack and a bag of peanuts and I'm sure you can get a couple of retired Disney animators for your epic.AdamBolander wrote:I am hoping for something around this quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XYgtSCHvp4 though I wouldn't say no to something even better!
