What's the best work you've seen of an indie animator?

Is this bait?

The recent R-type one was really meh, tho. And I am a R-type fan.

I honestly think Jon could do a better cover album than NSP did

>>83763192
I don't know what it is but there's something this does that's extremely wrong.
Which is a shame, all the rest seems great but I kinda hate it.

Porckchop n' Flatscreen easily is the coolest and most underrated thing I've seen.
The art may not be what you'd call "awesome," but the animation is fairly good.

Well in all fairness, the expression worked pretty well for the tone of the scene. I can't deny that bit about the skirt though, but I think most can overlook it since she changes outfits pretty often.

He needs practice but he's got a lot of talent. Unfortunately, it seems he doesn't want to pursue a career in singing or theater.

What's that style called? The cartoon Chowder did that as well. I always found it intriguing.

Really, he has a fantastic voice. He could be a marvelous opera singer

>>83763590
animation is pointless if the art is shit

>>83764244
Well I liked the characters, sound, and music enough to continue watching.

If you watched the first episode and didn't like it, I guess you just didn't like it then.

>>83763590
I remember watching that. Great music, and great animation on the few shots that actually had it, but everything else, from the art to the plot to the design to the angles, left alot to be desired. Not even mentioning all the LE TIT JOKES.
Not bad for an early project though.

>>83764244
>I have never watched a good stick fighting animation
Remedy that right away. I recommend Terkoiz circa 2008 or so. Start there and go where feels natural.

I've always liked Sarah William's voice. Neat animation too, even if I have seen it a few time already.

>>83765344
Yeah well the guy doesn't do a lot of them. There's supposed to be more "soon."

>>83764024
I'm pretty sure if he never became Youtube famous he probably would've pursued a theater career. Hell, maybe he will eventually.

I remember this animation got accused of tracing some animations and lifting them from other stuff, notably the foxes at one part but also the end of this gif here is stolen from the poodle from oliver and company

>>83765664
/co/ loves accusing people of tracing and stealing a bit too much tbhfam

Working from reference is always a good idea but doing it too well is apparently an unforgivable sin.

>>83765732
There's also a big difference between referencing and stealing, and her face in that sequence follows Georgina's way too closely to be "referenced"

>>83763399
is it because it does that 80s anime thing where the entire body is roto'd but the face isn't

>>83763192
Wow, that was actually godawful

>>83763894
This was so wonderfully done. It's surreal and beautiful, with a perfect sense of absurd humor.

It was like watching Liquid Television again. Thank you.

>>83766977
do it anyway, link it to one of the people who do compilations, watch the followers roll in, then loose them all the second you don't produce another 10 shorts in the next week.

>>83767124
too bad the porn is kinda meh, for some reason its all half assed or really well made, but focusing on hyper realistic animal anus.

Zone.

>>83766966
I didn't like Freaking Out as much as the first one. The music was still good, but the video... I feel like the first music video was made to match the music, and the second one just used the music for a beat for the animator to do his own thing.

Anyway, my favorite will always be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RHFFeQ2tu4

The little dancing dudes will never not be entertaining to me. Something about them is just so endearing.

>>83767169
I'm not sure if I'd call that "good", but it's definitely mind expanding.

Thanks to you, I will save on drugs this month because I don't need them after seeing that.

>>83765664
Georgette.

I'm not the only one who thought this!!

I dunno if it's stolen/traced after watching "Perfect Isn't Easy" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M6UYwaYRqw ), but that's what my mind immediately went to upon the first viewing.

Nothing wrong with referencing, desu. There is much more wrong with her animation than just "copying" e.g. the fact that there are no "rest" positions making what should have been keyframes look jerky from pose to pose.

First off, thank you for the new band name.
Secondly, yeah, not big on that. I think jazzed up sparkledog Tiny Toons style would suit the character better. And I'm a sucker for animated/drawn females doing wild takes while getting it on.
