Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!

Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

Do not be a jerk.

- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.

- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.

This is awesome! May I ask what you used as far as software/apps?

Of Course!

I used paint.net to make the brain slug I used in higher quality. (This is the original image i based on, from Monster Moviepedia).

I later animated everything using Adobe Animate which apparently is really a shitty software to use nowadays for animation (it's based on flash), but i already had the adobe suite and didn't want to shell out for something better, especially since I'm just starting to learn. I did hear good things about Toon Boom Harmony 24 when I was looking up what to use, though, but it's also paid. Either way, Adobe Animate has a great wire frame/skeleton system, despite being very resource heavy.

If you're interested in more alternatives for animation software, you might find this post interesting, although you'll have to visit that gross website that shall not be named to read it.

edit: fixed a link

Awesome, thank you for that info! I’ve always been fascinated by animation but it isn’t an area I’m super strong in.

I only tried dipping my toes in a few months ago. You can learn to do basic stuff like this p fast with practice. Strength can be trained. ;)

Have a nice day!
