A Preview Animatic for the Next Project
Added 2025-01-19 23:54:17 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
Here's a preview animatic of my current large animation project! It's rough, and I imagine you're as happy as I am that I don't do hand drawn animations 😅 Huge props to those that do!
An animatic is like an animated storyboard. It’s a rough animation that sequences the key frames or sketches of a project, often with dialogue, music, and sound effects. Being only one person, I've had to cut it down to just sketches though. Animatics help animators and filmmakers visualize how a scene will play out, ensuring that pacing, motion, and transitions work well before committing to the full animation process. I think learning this new skill is an important part of the process, helping me better plan and produce my animations in the future.
This project will have interaction between two characters, which is a huge step for me! To better process that challenge, I’m also creating a smaller animation in parallel to practice and experiment.
As I continue to grow as an animator, I may look into commissioning help with the sketching phase to get better visuals with actual characters and expressions. For now, though, I’m excited to take this on myself and learn every step of the way.
I expect the smaller animation and more refined previews of the big project done next month. I can’t wait to share my progress and hear your feedback.
Thank you for your continued support, it means the world to me! 🧡

Oh man I can't tell you how much this idea has been on my mind. I absolutely want to do that soon, but I don't think I can fit it into this one, sorry >.< I'm happy you like the rest so far though!! 🧡

2025-01-21 20:16:39 +0000 UTCRight?? Sounds like we're working with the same buttons~ I'll do all I can to push them harder!

2025-01-21 12:09:02 +0000 UTCThank you so much! :O I'm so happy you like it and I can't wait to show you the final result! ❤️
JFLabs
2025-01-21 12:07:23 +0000 UTCOf course! I'm more than happy to share the process ^^ I'm just glad you want to peek into the chaos 😂 And I'm sure you could do something just as good and better!! ^^ Hope you'll enjoy the final result 🧡

2025-01-21 11:57:40 +0000 UTCI've been thinking the same, honestly... Initially I didn't have it as part of my plan for it. But during my last animation, I really enjoyed playing around with some subtle muscle growth. It's possible that I'll try it out but I also don't want to squeeze so much work in it that it takes too long. Just so I don't promise too much I'll say, I want to do it but it's not the plan. I do think it could help to highlight the bunny's growing power.

2025-01-21 11:51:23 +0000 UTCOh wow, thanks so much!! 🧡That means a lot, and yeah I tend to self-deprecate a bit. Maybe it's a way of subconsciously pushing myself to improve? Either way, I very much appreciate you saying that!
JFLabs
2025-01-21 11:48:04 +0000 UTCHaha, yeah I guess I am 😅 Maybe taking a page out of Zootopia's book and gravitating towards rabbits? Hmm.. At least the other guy is a fox, so there's that xD I'll try to develop my library of character models as I go! Anything you'd particularly like seeing? ^^

2025-01-21 11:45:30 +0000 UTCAww haha, thanks so much, Frost! ❤️ I'm happy it conveys my idea okay even in this state~
JFLabs
2025-01-21 11:42:38 +0000 UTCYesss! I can't wait to show it to you ^^ Thanks, Lolle!
JFLabs
2025-01-21 11:41:15 +0000 UTCOh really? If you do same size and/or a half size difference, I'll commission it....I wanna see iittttt

2025-01-21 11:40:10 +0000 UTCThank you so much!! 🧡 I'm glad you can see through the roughness of my lines ^^
JFLabs
2025-01-21 11:40:02 +0000 UTCHaha, yeah? 😅 Hmm.. I think I'll at definitely try out some vore in the future! Something appealing about saliva and a wet tongue slide 👀

2025-01-21 11:39:04 +0000 UTCThis is pushing my buttons hard. Smaller guy outgrowing the bigger guy while they're kissing... Can't wait to see this animated!

2025-01-20 16:04:03 +0000 UTCThanks for also explaining the process. Your rough drawings are still better than what I could make. It looks really promising, so I’m looking forward to it! Thanks for the sneak peek!

2025-01-20 14:37:22 +0000 UTCWill this one have muscle growth or just size growth?

2025-01-20 13:33:37 +0000 UTCOOOOOH this looks SO good! I'm super excited to see the end product! Also don't be so hard on yourself, that drawn storyboard was pretty good too actually!
