Animation challenge conclussion: (Patreon)

Welp 3 Day animation challenge is done. it's something Nyl orgtanised and i couldn't be happier that i participated. not only i made 3 nice animations, but also it opened my eyes on how much time i waste overthinking and overdesigning things. i would have loved of course to do better lighting and adding some details. but that's usually where i get "lost" like i would have ended animating the background plants, the grass in the floor, making neytiri look sweaty with sweat dropplets running down her skin, maybe even making the weather rainy... and all those things add up a lot of time on production and doesn't necesarly make the final animation better. in some cases i think they can even make it worse for having too many mooving things on screen.
So my conclussion is that i wanna do this again. i poked Nyl about it, hoping he makes it a regular thing. but i think i'm gonna start doing this on a monthly basis.
it has been super invigorating and challenging. i feel super good for pulling off those 3 animations in just 3 days under 24 hours each.
it has also opened my eyes regarding long projects that i don't know how to approach. like the widowmaker and tifa ones i've been postponing for months. and i'm confortable with loops. I could make a ton of loops for each animation and they i would just need to figure out how to "glue" them together.
So yeah this has been a super positive and valuable experience for me. hope you guys enjoyed the animations and stay tuned because there's gonna be more =^.^=
