A little animation for my final project in my “Performance Resources for Animation” class. Had to animate a character experiencing a change in emotion!
Stage-Toph: “I see everything that you see, except I don’t ‘see’ like you do. I release a sonic wave from my mouth.” *elongated scream* “There! I got a pretty good look at you.”
Finished my first taako animation with my toonboom harmony rig ! Colors and designs are so simple but it moves alright ! im hoping to refine it further but it was a good first test run with one of my fav taako lines. The goal is eventually to do at least one of each main since i do so love them all.
This was a commission requested by Nick Wozniak aka @norkwoz
I really went overboard with this as he only requested a single stage diorama and I ended up making a five-stage one which spanned countless layers, 44 different PSD files, 709 frames of animation and tweens.
Nick wanted to have a couple of the enemies from the Explodatorium featured in the diorama so I just went and threw in everything you could encounter in the whole thing (besides the miniboss). As much as possible, I also tried to incorporate the majority of Plague Knight and Shovel Knight’s arsenal into the whole sequence. To top it off, I made sure that it loops together nicely enough.
The full looping animation wouldn’t fit Tumblr’s gif size limit so I had to break the whole thing into the five stages.If you want to see the full loop, you can view it here.
