hi Bsd nation ! How we feeling ? Just some Dazai art I did <3
First post !!! Hi guys! I’m @cup-ina-cup, or just @ cupinacup on tictok! I’m into a lot of animes, like Bungo Stray Dogs, MHA, JJK! I’m also a newer arcane fan! I’m learning to draw and animate so tips are loved <3 I use procreate and CapCut! Luvs !!!
the amount of pain I went through for just these two seconds
I forgot how annoying hand drawing animating is
this is what happens when you procrastinate
It's always the generic bros that are bullies. But I guess cargo shorts and a too small tank top don't make an as interesting visual.
why do they always showcase ‘bullies’ in cartoons as being some punk with a mohawk like
when was the last time you saw a cool guy in a leather jacket not minding his own business it’s usually some basic asshole in a graphic tee that has something to say
on a list of dumb shit i know:
the grass in the original shrek movie is not grass. its hair. they used hair textures for the grass bc the actual grass for some reason in their computer modelling programs would not behave like grass so they used hair textures colored green.
This is such an awesome analysis!
How to use in-betweens and arcs: A study of Rue and Duck’s pas-de-deux in “Princess Tutu”
This is based on a little talk I gave to students during a one-week animation crash course at Cambridge a few months ago. The project was to create a character and animate it performing a simple looping dance. I first briefed them on the very beginnings of the process, looking at reference and collecting research materials to inform their creative choices, and explained and demonstrated the basic tools they needed to use, including keyframing, in-betweening, and timing. Then I showed them this clip from Princess Tutu on the morning before they actually started drawing their animations.
I used this bit in particular because I thought it was a really accessible way to demonstrate a key difference between communicating with moving image compared to still image. While many of the same principles apply (in particular, to your keyframes, which I’d already done my best to drum into them), the in-betweens can carry a lot of weight and really change how the action reads.

Sooo, I am doing a short animation again ... (at least I'm trying) and currently I hit a roadblock.
I can't decide if I want sunset or night. What do you think? I'm open for suggestions.
I'm going like for a mixture of sad and hopelessness which turns into hopefulness in the end.
btw, please ignore that these characters look unfinished because they are XD
and here the song on Spotify:
I am trying to animate again :D
but nothing too big this time.
I was thinking about, how one of my OC's powers would work, and I had a little idea for a loop (after watching a sick fighting animation on Youtube, just that I couldn't figure out how to make something like that, so I'll just make a loop)
Anyway, I wanted to animate my OC Kael (Guardian of Time) and even with the keyframes, I am already impressed with how that looks.
Sneak peek below :D but don't expect too much
Note: Roughing it out, setting basic proportions, and so on ... I don't know if my timings are fine or if I need to tweak something about it ...
More sneak peek
I'm currently really pushing through. Also realised, I don't use any in-betweens by now XD (at least for now, but the animation feels fluid enough) AND I also needed to figure out the rest of the character design. I guess for now, I have something I might stick with, but this could change in the end or become more detailed.
AND NOW I FINALLY REALIZED WHY A CERTAIN PART LOOKED WEIRD!!! I copied the pose right as he turns around and forgot to change the legs so suddenly they were swapped.
And now I am realising that this might take some more brain power to fix, than just change that one frame ................
I think, I fixed it ... I guess it was not that visible from the beginning anyway ... just the feeling that was bugging me.
Well, it's still wrong and feels wrong. But this clearly takes more brain capacity than I currently have left. Guess I'll roughly animate the rest and continue hopefully tomorrow.
So, current state for today: (and yes, I still need to fix that stupid frame, or isn't it even noticeable?)
Why did I spend three days working on this
This isn’t even something that I put a lot of effort in
But at the same time I put a lot of effort in it
Why
I tried to animate again and I found a pretty decent way to organize my work folder 😀 (it still kind of ended in chaos but I'm really looking forward to animating even more stuff 😄 I want to become good 🤩)
SINCE YALL SEEMED TO ENJOY THE ONE STILL FRAME SO MUCH. Like omfg 90 notes AGAIN WTF??? I LOVE YALL SM
Heres the fully animated version! Hope you enjoy :3
PLEASE DON'T FLOP
forgot to post here but i made an animation for Jean's birthday
DON'T FLOP I BEG OF YOU THIS TOOK SO LONG
Some Wall.E and Remy sketches. Words can’t describe how much I freaking love Wall.E I think he’s so adorable and I have adopted him as my son.
i want to get back into animation (but i hate doing in-betweens)
((ALSO EXPLAINING THE ANIMATION BECAUSE I WAS PROUD OF THE IDEA WOMP WOMP, If anyone is familar with the song andthe "I love you so, please let me go." thing - the whole animation would of been togachako themed with all of their moments with the words but different??? The normal meaning/Lyrics "I love you so." "Please let me go" and the next scene would of been like "I love you-" "so? please let me go." with the fight during the first war THAT ANIMATION WOULD OF BEEN SO HEAT (if i liked animating)
Eye animation
(SPOILERS+FW WARNING!!) finally finished this woo!! i really like how it came out so please dont let this flop :[ comments are super appreciated!! lmk what your fav part is (ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ) some yapping about this under the cut!!
in the 'shes on the go' scene, with sou, its supposed to be him making an attempt to escape after the ch2 main game, when following the emotion route and keeping kanna alive. he hasnt got a collar in this scene, having previously taken it off. (thats def not me just being lazy and forgetting to draw it. def not.) i tried to make the lyrics sync with whats going on onscreen, like 'flowers for the sinking dead' gets kanna and 'with hospitals' is qtaro. for the yabusame siblings part, 'way too fast' was alice's since he, in his rage and grief over the ranger's taunting, acted way too fast and let his anger get the best of him. reko's was 'way too slow', since if she had acted a bit faster, maybe not let the fake get the knife or something similar, she may have been able to stay alive. 'shell turn to stone' refers to nao finding out she's the sacrifice, more or less bound to die or to kill everyone else. she hasnt got much of a choice, stuck where she is as if she were stone. 'somebody sighs who is not in disguise anymore' can work with several characters, but i chose kai and joe. they both in a way end up losing their disguise and have nothing better to do than sigh, knowing their fates were now set and anything they did would be impractical at best. kai lost his disguise of being a normal participant of the death game, having been revealed to have some connections with asunaro and also having been revealed to be the sage. joe lost his disguise of being the sage, having been revealed to be the sacrifice. the failure of their disguises is what inevitably led to their doom. for the end part, the joe and kai parallels, in the part with the hands the backgrounds have some significance. the joe one features sara's hand, holding the clicker given to her by miley. the background is dark, while a ring of light circles her hand. this was meant to symbolize how her action held hope, hope shed be able to save him, hope there was still something she could do, but ultimately she failed. she wasnt going to be allowed a chance in the first place, hence how the majority of the background is dark. the hope born by desperation, the light born by dark, ultimately failed and was proven to be purposeless. whereas kai's, the majority is light while the hand itself is surrounded by darkness, symbolizing how his action held despair and anguish, but was also a beacon of hope, his way of resistance and stopping the organization from taking away their freedom fully. he chose to die, on his own terms, and that action, although born from a sense of futile desperation, also gave him a chance to fight back in his own way, however measly that chance may be. ok i think im done thanks for attending my ted talk everyone, hope yall enjoyed!!
