After a year and a half, my video package, the Complete Introduction to 2D Animation is up and ready! The goal is meant to introduce hand drawn animation in a more fun way! Visit my store at: gumroad.com/stringbing

Made a new video talking about why you should consider storyboards/animatics as final products! Inspired by @kianamaiart, @JazLyte amongst others, I wanted to show another alternative as opposed to making fully animated/polished stuff that takes forever. youtu.be/zG-lwbb-RZM?si=XsCP…

“Avatar Kuruk: Wave of Chaos” has been ordered to series at Paramount+. The latest entry in "The Last Airbender" franchise will focus on a Water Tribe Avatar three generations before Avatar Aang. wp.me/pc8uak-1lHVT7

this is not a diss to my fellow artists who have the blue checkmark but this place makes it uncool to have it

been making a vault of animatics for things i dont have time to fully animate
I haven’t posted on social media as much but I’m trying to make little animatics for myself on ideas that I have that I if I ever felt like animating them, I have something to work on top of.

I followed @BipedalBastard for many years and I can confirm he's been doing this stuff waaaay before AI gen animation. I discovered him almost ten years ago, and some of the stuff shown here is that old. Sucks we live in a time where AI has made people doubt human work/skill

i've been writing outlines of disconnected scenes and episodes i want to make animatics of based off these two. Something that I want to try and do more is instead of making full on pilots, just make random scenarios with no beginning or end

I made a video talking about the benefits of making more "janky" work for independent animation ventures, instead of trying to blow your wad trying to make "perfect" pieces. Make stuff for the sake of making it, improve on the way, etc youtube.com/watch?v=rOTfMkW3…
