Red (Sketch to Animation)

Thought I'd do another one of these, since the first one was fun, and I wanted to improve on it. This one has a bit more of a complex model and animation, but it's the same gist. Originally, I wanted to try playing with animation framerate too, but I might try that on a simpler model first, and learn some shape keys while I'm at it.

This would fit very well in a category of those creatures, who look kind of terrifying and a bit gross, but they are actually oddly peaceful, and help the main character to progress through the story. I think if you make a couple more characters in that very style and practice animating, you can make an interesting short animated film with them. Just an idea for ya.

I like the way you think.

@@biscoffenthusiast3981 Oh, thanks. I guess I just like to use my imagination :)

what happened to hornet?

[@dofu1233]

u found urself staring at the hills and trees from the cabin's old and weared out windows
a memory catches u off guard
so far that u can help to think it was a dream
a little kid ran from home angry
angry, cus they can't have candy
u ran and ran and ran
into the woods deeper and deeper
till the rivers were gold, the mountains amble, and the trees red
u woundered to lakes of honey and fall's candies
u woundered and wondered
till the night swolled ur sweets
stole it away and left u only moonlight
u ran again, this time lost
into the dark
whilst the night stared with its one silver eye
silient
silient made u angry, angry at the silent, angry at being lost angry at not having candy again
filled it with with screams, but the silence heard u
"LITTLE ONE...WHY"
the screams turned to silence once more then freezing
the leafs reclaimed their color with a glow carried by a red claw, ruffles open to a horned skull
ur lips fail u, ur eyes gaizes into their vacant sockets, and u know now they know why
their head tilts and droppes, another claw approached ur cheeks as red as their skin
"IT'S....FINE.....CRY"
so the tears came
golden glows trails down ur blood flushed face, and u were weaping
"LIKE.....THE..SKY"
came shooting stars, fell into the leafs as nector still shinning
a trail, a new river
they pointed, and u followed, along the river u went
the cold foot steps on ur checks ushers u back
the tear drop lands on ur tongue, its sweat
u smile and walk out the cabin
into the woods to wonder
to run
as a red horned figure watches between the leafs

I take it English is not your first language.

@@THEMANWITHTHEYELLOWHAT. yea, i can't really use languages right in general, I messed with the past present tenses a little, so those probably don't sound right, every thing else is me being dumb

Bro genuinely tell me which software you use and how you did please a tutorial

[@biscoffenthusiast3981]

The program is Blender! I'm still mostly a beginner, so I don't want to teach you my method (since it's probably full of mistakes!), but I can recommend some yt tutorials if you want to get into it.
For getting a general grip with the program, try Blender Guru. I learned lineart from cockpitsandboobytraps, and my first proper modelling project was following Grant Abbitt's tutorial on making a character's head, (although that's more for detail, and if you don't need to make it move). If you like the cell shaded style, check out Dedouze (he's got a great tutorial on grease pencil, which is that 3D drawn stuff on the model). I learned a lot from Polyfjord about rigging, which is a tool that lets you manipulate and animate characters like this one.
There's a really wide spanning Blender community on yt, full of great resources, these just happen to be the sources I've used so far while learning. Just take it step by step and don't be discouraged if it feels intimidating- there's so much to learn, but you don't need a lot to start making animations. And if you get stuck with a problem, chances are someone else has too, and there's a solution online!
I hope this helps :)

I want to show you my work too and you can give me reviews and feedbacks
