Because people wanted to see some behind the scenes: here are some big steps for my 2D animation of Yubaba. :)

Science Saru just adapted Ghost in the Shell.
They used zero AI on it.
The story is about man versus machine.
So they chose to make the whole thing by hand.

Their pipeline was three times denser than a normal anime.
Twice the design work. 
48 outfits on one character.
Even the fake street signs were drawn by hand.
None of that was the cheap or easy way.

The producer summed it up well.
The appeal is the feeling that a person drew it.
The business lesson here is simple.

Hand-made work is now worth more, not less.
AI is filling the market with cheap output.
That makes real human craft rare.
And rare things sell for a premium.

Science Saru isn't scared of the technology.
They turned the human hand into the selling point.
The room applauded because the audience agreed.

People will pay for work they know a person made.

With the rendering, this animation took about 1/4 extra time to finish, which would've been a lot longer if there were camara movements (like i plan for my show) and I wanted a second opinion on if that was worth it. I love the way it looks ofc, I also love actually finishing cool things in a timely manner lol

As I said, definitely a beginner still, but I feel like I’m doing pretty well so far! Im shocked how long two seconds of animation has taken me (about a week as I work a job as well) and now im scared coloring it in like I wanted to will ruin the work I did. Im using procreate dreams and would appreciate any advice, through I have been doing research on YouTube. The program is very new to me and still very confusing so this was done with two tracks (eyes and everything else). Thank you!

I am using toonsquid and am trying to make a floating loop animation, but no matter what I do it doesn't look right. I have three keyframes, two of the same on either end and one in the middle of the characters highest point. The easing goes as such: Quadratic ease in, linear, quadratic ease out. I have tried multiple different combinations.

The animation does not feel like one continuous motion, and I am not sure how to fix it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

(also sorry for the one glitched out frame, I am not sure why it is doing that)

This is a small part of a larger animation I’m doing. Would love any advice to improve on later scenes

EDIT: FINAL POSTED IN THE COMMENTS

Specifically for Onistuka Tiger as an homage to Kill Bill

Its part of a longer, mostly 3D ad

After finishing the Clean Up of the Background, I made a Clean Up of the Keys and Break Downs of the Figure Layer and sketched in the In-Betweens.

I just don’t know how to tween and i do it animating but how can i make it smoother?

i did the sound effects and stuff its pretty dumb lol my first try at this though
