Today we continue animating a dialog character animation shot in 3D in blender. A great watch for anyone who wants to figure out how to animate. I will talk about the principles of animation and the best animation workflow to create animation going from an animatic, to blocking, to splining to a finished acting shot.

JK is doing some work on the upcoming game Mythic Ranch: Cardfire, so come hang out and see some art getting done! Todays task is coloring (and some inking) 2D creature sprites. From subtle gradients to bold cel-style shading!
If youd like to try out the original game, heres a link to Mythic Ranch: Card Battles on Apple and Android! https://www.weekendpanda.com/tcg/ Were hard at work to make the sequel bigger and better. (By all means leave some feedback if you try the game, were always interested to hear what people think. :) )
Ferdinand is offering terrific mentoring for art and animation here: https://www.patreon.com/animatorisland If you want to boost your own skills, theres nothing quite like mentoring with a professional artist, so give it a try. You can grow leaps and bounds from that sort of interaction.
