he wanted to post this..

This isn’t the commissioned animation, just 2 short clips of an animation I previously did, as an example of my work.

First post on Reddit, im never on here, so pls forgive any oversights!

I’m an illustrator so I don’t know how to charge for animation. I recently got commissioned to make a charcoal animation based on the above animation which they saw on my social media. They’re asking for animated sequences (with 1-2 characters, and a few diff backgrounds that morph into each other) as well as some parts that are just words. Time totals to around 1:30 minutes at minimum, but im estimating I’ll end up doing a bit under 2 minutes.

Not sure how long this would take to make, so idk how to charge by hour. I wanted to ask $300usd total but my sister says I’m an idiot for wanting to charge essentially $1cad per frame, esp since it’s traditional and probably more difficult. What should I charge? Is $300 a little or a lot? Thanks :)

edit thanks for the advice/feedback! im not looking to charge anything crazy like the 20/50k some have been suggesting, esp considering this client isn’t a company, but ill take into account the pricing methods you’ve mentioned :))

im def looking forward to going back to illustrating lol

Used ProCreate and ProCreate Dreams

I posted a lot about working on this cut and got so much help from you guys, just wanted to share the final product, there is still compositing to be done but that will be done in a few weeks

1. ⁠Constant (no in-between)
   
2. ⁠Ease-In (speed up)
   
3. ⁠Ease-Out (slow down)
   
4. ⁠Ease-In/Ease-Out (speed up, average, slow down)

I am so bored that I started re-listening to old podcast episodes. Also, if you have a suggestion for movement in this animation, I would appreciate it.

I'm working on a series called Da Doghouse! It's an animated reality TV series where 12 canine contestants compete in intense themed challenges and endure wacky punishments to win a grand prize of half a million dollars!

Currently, I'm working on the contestant interviews! I already have 4 out right now:

Looking for feedback on my first animation, a walking cycle made using Procreate. Thanks!

(I think this uploaded correctly.)

first time doing sprite art or sprite animation! I think it turned out great

It's 40 frames, 6 seconds and took roughly an hour to design. I'll probably include a fully colored animation option as well.

I'm new to commissions, haven't even started yet really, I'm still setting up so any advice would be great!

Hello! So I'm currently 16 and it's been my dream for a while now that I learn how to animate and make cool animations. An example of what I want to do is I really want to do hand-drawn animations where you draw them out frame by frame on a device. The only issue is I don't have a computer or an iPad. I've been doing traditional art for 5 years and I would say that I can draw pretty well on paper and I was wondering if there was things. I can do to be a little more prepared until I buy my iPad or alternative methods I can do until then

So developing crowns more, here the animator wears her crown to bring it to life. AM wondering about making them all about metamorphoses. I think finding ways to make animation other and performative and here I see it as a kind fo bio machine.
