Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday, trying to learn animating scenes in Wallpaper Engine ^^ (Patreon)

MP4 versions of the tests: [Timmi] [Zelda]
My plan was to start working on the pic I want to animate yesterday, but I realized that I first should learn some in's and out's of the software I want to use. So I sat down read some tutorials (still a whole lot to learn) and animated a panel from the current comic page and made a puppet animation for a roughly cutout model I did for one of my first Zelda reality rewrites. (The Zelda one is still really rough because I still struggle with making the movement better + I kinda messed up when I painted the weights)
So this is why I was gone yesterday and kinda today too. These two pics are the result of my progress thus far ^^
Why Wallpaper Engine? Didn't you start to learn animating 2D in Blender for scenes like these?
Well, I did, BUT there are almost no tutorials for 2D animation for the specific plugin I use. I was struggling hard to animated a few shots because I had no place to look stuff up. The Wallpaper engine on the other hand got a nicely documented step by step for almost everything and got some easy to use tools and a way more user friendly interface. So I thought I'd start learning this one instead for the few occasions I want to do a quick animation like that. I still like doing frame-by-frame animations but making some quick animations like that only has advantages ^^
I'm gonna keep practicing and upload some more tests when I got the time to experiment ^^
Because I don't want you all to wait too long for any art post tho I'll resume my work on TACS 2 on Monday, preparing pages 52 & 53!
Thank you for your patience while I try to learn more ways to create artworks ^^
