1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai. 

2. Previous post on breakdowns right here 

Some thoughts on acceleration and force

I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns. 

Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful. 

Not so much of a tutorial than a personal experience. I hope you find this interesting hahaha

#does this make kaiba kuzco #is kaiba gonna build kaibaland on top of Yugi’s gameshop

#can we turn kaiba into a llama

PLEASE CAN WE HAVE BAKURA AND MALIK AS YZMA AND KRONK?

#does kaiba dress in drag??

THIS JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER. All I need is Grandpa as the guy who breaks Kaiba’s groove.

“You threw off my groove!”

“I’m sorry, but you’ve thrown off the CEO’s groove.”

What’s next… Bakura becoming a cat?

#omg would Marik’s shoulder devil be Yami Marik?

“Don’t listen to that guy. He’s trying to lead you down the path of righteousness.”

“I’m gonna lead you down the path that rocks!”

What would that make Joey???

#Rebecca should be the wife 

#Ok Ok but Kuriboh would totally be the little squirrel >w> 

“Kurikurikuri??”

“No nonONONONONONO-”

“KURIK URIRIRHR!?”

THIS KEEPS GETTING BETTER OMFG

Ok just go ahead and redraw the movie scene by scene

So, would the jaguars be Beast-type monsters or Dragon-types?

  # The Big 5 turning into animals

“Get them!”

“Hey, I’ve been turned into a penguin. Can I go home?”

“You’re excused.”

This is the best!

Oh I love this project Look at that cute magickian

Hey hey hey!! Guess who’s opening up commissions!!

Payment through Paypal

message me or email me at [email protected] if you have any questions

Things I will Draw:

 *** I do not draw hardcore NSFW (altho these are only Mid waist and busts so i doubt it’ll go in that direction) However  I do not consider regular nudes to be NSFW as art school has desensitized me to drawing naked ppl tbh

*** Since these are speedpaint commissions, they can be completed within 2 or 3 days of payment being received. The prices will not change with the intricacy of the character’s outfits, however if they have more intricate costumes expect them to be a tiny bit messier***

To Check how many slots are currently open please go to my art blog Tamadraws and look at the farthest right link.

Even if you don’t order a commission a reblog would be much appreciated!

‘the Irish head (skull) is one of the largest in Europe’

‘Irish are broad built and large boned’

‘Irish have characteristically thick eyebrows’

whelp

guess I know what to blame my problems on

thanks genetics

but no this is a great resource totally rad check it out

This is really, really fascinating!

i’ve been waiting for this reference for a million years

So I decided to try to combine Shigure’s song with Azura’s for fun I decided to keep Azura’s birthright lyrics because i didnt want to mess with the flow even further

also I apologize if the beginning sounds a bit desync’d with each other, I think Hosoyan sings a bit faster than Renka in the beginning and plus I didnt spent that much time perfecting it

but anyways, enjoy!

Left side is Shigure while the Right side is Azura

also slight warning it might be a bit loud

Ive been getting an influx of messages from students asking me what they can do to become a story artist. I decided to put together a list of a few basic things to get you started on the journey. There is much more that goes into making a good story artist but these are just some of my personal suggestions to start.

First, I always like to suggest some reading material. Here are  few books that really helped me wrap my head around a few ideas:

Next i’d suggest watching as many movies as possible. Studies from the greats Kubrick, Spielberg, Hitchcock, Coen Brothers, Kurosawa, or whoever else you find yourself drawn to. When I say study, I mean really analyze the film from all angles. (camera, composition, Story telling, dialogue, acting.) Have a piece of paper nearby and draw small thumbnails of compositions. 

Check out the AFI Top 100 lists for starters:  http://www.afi.com/100years/movies10.aspx

Storyboarding involves a lot of drawing. Usually quick drawings that have clear reads. So to better your skills draw as much as possible! Draw everything! But not just mindless drawing really think about what you are drawing and why. Look for specific gestures, facial expressions, and designs. A great way to learn this is through life drawing. 

Lastly, Tell stories! The job of a story artist is to visually tell a story through drawings in order to inform others in the production. Great drawings are really second to great storytelling. A good way to improve on telling stories is to do it as much as possible no matter the medium.

Again these are just some of my personal suggestions and a place to start the journey. Hope its helpful!
