This gooey mess is so much fun to animate. I wanted to show some of my process so here it is!

More animation for #demi
Animation layers to the rescue once again!

Animating the actual cast and wiggle together sounded difficult and annoying so I animated them separately and combine them using layers.

This is what happens when #blender is a part of your brain and you have house projects to do 😅

In games you get to blend between many different actions to come up with new actions.
Why not use a similar system when making the animation in the first place?

I know it's just a walk cycle but this ended up being one of my favorite little animations to make.

Worked with @srrafles.bsky.social's asset packs as a solid starting point and then gave it my own flair from there.
The slash meshes were all made in blender to match the anims & help offset distance as needed.

Playing with some smear frames!

...of course it was supposed to be his last anim but I feel required to slot this in to as many other places as i can🤣

Setting up the cloth & wiggle physics is always one of the most satisfying parts! You get to watch your character really come to life!

We use a combo of Magica Cloth 2 and Tail Animator 2

Video Game Animators, where you at?

I've created a new starter pack and added a few folks to get the ball rolling.

If you're a video game animator (specifically) then drop your handle in the replies.

Reposts welcome 🙌🏻

Eyy thanks ☺️ For me concept art is a form of communication and as long as I can get my point across I'm satisfied.

At Yarn Owl we use MS Paint all the time 😂

It's always fun seeing custom rigs like this. The silhouette of the character is also very good

Words were failing me so I roughed out the sketch with grease pencil to get approval for the final animation before animating the final.

I was surprised how much that little sketch ended up helping me w/ timing.
