As the Mighty Nein character design supervisor, I'm so happy for you all to see them in motion and uhhh causing problems
Which is it - The Mighty Nein or The Sensual Seven? Whatever it is, looks like it comes exclusively to Prime Video on November 19th!

When I was drawing the character poses for Beau and the baddie she fumbled...well, I just wanted the scene to be longer. The Mighty Nein - S1, Ep6

Callipeg Studio is coming soon to macOS and Windows: including features like the inbetween assist, a great way to place your next drawing to get the best animation. (animation by Inamura Takeshi @altamontagna170 )

Been thinking a lot about what I even like about character design, and I think it's definitely the backend, human development part of it all:

Let's just pretend this never happened then, cool.
Some Oscar voters have reportedly chosen to skip voting in the Best Animated Feature category this year, according to anonymous voters. “When my kids were little I used to be much more up to speed on this category, but now I’m not, so I’m sitting it out.”

The reason why background in traditional animation is so beautiful is because it is made by a person sitting in front of a sheet with paint. It isn't a subjective thing, when you can't zoom in (like in digital), then you have an overview about what is gonna be visible and how much visible. So you will end up being very concious about how to design, about where to put details and where not and everything is gated by the size of the tools and the size of the sheet. Another important aspect is how much you can work on a background, you can't take shortcuts so you wouldn't waste time painting something that won't be visible.
When cartoons used to feel like dreams you could walk into.

"Maybe we could help each other" Doing some analogue work feels very much like touching grass so working traditionally while imagining the nice cooling shadows from the canopy really felt like it went hand in hand in a serene type of way 🍃🍂

I've been finding so much optimism in practicing analogue and was thinking maybe it could be fun to do some Mighty Nein shikishi boards... here's a lineart WIP of Nott & Caleb 💚
