[Rikki Dressup]

neat experiment

[Quick Take]

i see what you're going for, i like the smear itself as a drawing but it's improperly used which makes the whole motion jitter. you might wanna look into WHY smears are used and when. not to say you cant use it, but it looks like a beginner learning about smears and applying it before understanding how to use it.

Smears most commonly try to emulate motion blur without the fuzziness of real life; it's placed in a gap, usually a single frame, where the motion travels or completes FASTER than a single frame(1/24th of a second) lasts on screen. Having only one smear, we're saying that drawing covers more distance per second than any other drawing in the animation.

So, when the character's head completes its journey, the smear going in the opposite direction should lead to a frame at the edge or slightly past the smear frame, but instead the following frame is on the other side of the smear. Essentially this smear is NOW saying that the character stops, recoils, THEN it bounces back to the starting position all in less than 1/24th of a second(well, it would if the drawing wasn't held for two frames which actually makes it more confusing). Our eyes don't follow this much information at that speed and so our brain tells us it jitters weird. Hope that helps!

[Megu spin!]

cool animation, smooth motion
doesn't have any audio, would be a banger Art Portal piece imo

[There's a Fire in The Building]

Great work, great short!
I saw the ending going a little differently, but the whole thing was charming and well drawn

[Tongue out]

just use an animated WEBP on the art portal honestly

Feiku2D responds:

Thanks! I'll do it next time for short clips.

[Low Poly Idle]

I feel like the 'Experimental' genre tab gets misused a lot. sure you can call anything experimental, but more often than not it feels like a blanket cover for work that the creator doesn't want to classify as 'Spam'. I don't think every animation or style test needs to be uploaded, but when it does I feel like it's only appropriate to rate it fairly.

A majority of madness combat short "animation tests" get blammed before reaching the portal despite there being more interesting stuff there compared to this low poly idle. That's not to say those animation tests shouldn't be blammed, rather I believe that just because Ennuikal is a popular creator their uploads should not get to pass by default. Does the current average score of 4.4/5 stars really reflect this upload as being one of their best works?

The expectation of always receiving 5 stars can lead to more disappointment than you'd think as a creator when there are plenty of other values that can be used to say "i like this and here's why"

[GET A LOAD OF THIS!]

the background is nice, but eggman is really stiff and kind of gangly(not in his usual way)

Try taking a look at some dance videos and see how their limbs overlap in 3D space, this drawing feels like a very surface-level understanding of how the limbs move in 2D

thanks ! and ye, i could improve for another time with the right practice. tho this was more of a learning experience just to see how things are and how they work, and it being on 15 fps contributed to it. gotta start somewhere i suppose! heh

[This macaroni ad is different.]

[THE INFECTION]
