that 2d artwork is base on a Japanese artist music video. You can google "ponponpon" for it. Some people might find it abit annoying though.

About that 3d fatguy, I have a plan on doing an animation for him. The objective of this animation is to be a learning process for me. After I have equip myself with better skill on animation, I could proceed to do "high concept" story. I have this idea on a sci-fi story, but my skill level not enough to handle it on my own yet. More over, after doing so many 2d artwork, I would like to see my characters to be animate too.

yaya I remember that song hahaaha...

so how did u animate so expertly?

where did u learn it?U could work as an animator liao

Pixel Art is okay here right ?

EDIT : noobie attempt

well i think i there are similarities in all the work in did, that why I can learn all the different softwares. I believe anyone can do this too. not just me

for animation, it is about keyframe and inbetween. even in manual traditional animation, lead animator will do the keyframe, and the junior will do the inbetween.

Keyframe in wikipedia

I learn all this concept while doing Flash game, flash banner. Flash itself is a timeline layer based software tools. you put keyframe for your asset and the software will animate the inbetween.

for aftereffects, it is also timeline layer based. same thing, u put keyframe to animate. so, I "learn" aftereffects pretty quick. But aftereffects is bitmap base, unlike Flash which is vector base. and aftereffects have filters like in photoshop, so your photoshop filters skill will put into good use here.

Blender3D or any other 3d software. same concept. just need to put in the keyframe. So in alot of time, the keyframe or key pose is very important for good animation. my henshin hero test animation look good, because I can reference the pose base on real masked rider youtube video.

You migh ask how about modeling? dont be suprise, it is the same concept as 2d vector art, instead of moving your "points" in 2d, you move it in 3d space. but ofcourse, there are more depth/details in modelling 3d stuff.

there is another way of modeling, which is digital sculpting. usually is use for more natural and realistic stuff. Most ppl will use zbrush for it.

pixel art...how u do it?

seriously cool

wow,thank you for this complete explanation!

so thats how u do animation...might help me bit about a project in mind,thank you!

my noobish skill U_U

canggih sai

tapi kau boleh perbaiki lagi style coloring kau...

yang sekarang ni tak begitu menarik

/jujur

ya

more advance level, 3D topography, and optimize the polygon count for 3d modelling
which i dont know lol. i know theory only

in PS , in MS paint , you name it.
just afterward you need enlarge it without blur.

looks improve a lot, far better than your last time

Argh...

I am willing to face all this headache, to achieve my ultimate target, to make my own local indie anime.

dragonrein how you setting the greyscale drawing? then to the coloring setting? im kinda stuck there..

@ Sai

I suggest watching this video by Dave Rapoza:

It's very close to what I do with regards to changing the grayscale to colour.
