Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

Do not be a jerk.

That’s what happened to the one in RFK Jr.

Quick crosspost this to [email protected] before someone else claims to have made it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I posted it there cause peer pressure, but failed to crosspost.

Appreciate it! I don't like reposting, though.

Feel free to post it yourself if you want.

edit: posting it there now cause randomly changed my mind for attention whoring purposes.

What's your issue with reposting? It seems like a good way to spread content.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

IDK it annoys me when i get duplicated content on my lemmy feed cause it was posted to several communities i follow.

Not that it's wrong or anything, would just rather avoid it myself due to personal internet etiquette beliefs.

edit: ok, ok.. i'll post it in futurama.

If you see them duplicated that means that a person did not crosspost but just posted it multiple times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I guess I didn't know the difference myself cause apparently i just did that.

This is awesome! May I ask what you used as far as software/apps?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Of Course!

I used paint.net to make the brain slug I used in higher quality. (This is the original image i based on, from Monster Moviepedia).

I later animated everything using Adobe Animate which apparently is really a shitty software to use nowadays for animation (it's based on flash), but i already had the adobe suite and didn't want to shell out for something better, especially since I'm just starting to learn. I did hear good things about Toon Boom Harmony 24 when I was looking up what to use, though, but it's also paid. Either way, Adobe Animate has a great wire frame/skeleton system, despite being very resource heavy.

If you're interested in more alternatives for animation software, you might find this post interesting, although you'll have to visit that gross website that shall not be named to read it.

edit: fixed a link

Awesome, thank you for that info! I’ve always been fascinated by animation but it isn’t an area I’m super strong in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

I only tried dipping my toes in a few months ago. You can learn to do basic stuff like this p fast with practice. Strength can be trained. ;)

Have a nice day!
