So, it's
Done? I think.
It's still came out a little (or not) messy, but the only way I could fix what I didn't like is to redoo the whole scene, ahah.
And I'm not crazy. Well, at least not that crazy.
I tried to find a brush that the animators used, but couldn't find anything, so I guess they were using their own brush imported in Toon Boom. So I chose the one that seemed the closest to the original...
And I didn't like it. But understood that too late.
Plus I don't have that much of an experience with animation. Most of what I do are animatics and such, so actually animating this whole thing and trying to copy Rise's art and animation style, well, yeah, kinda of challenge.
Video with a bit of a process and comparison to the original animatic.
a re-read of Friends Like These got me emotional and decided to throw my (somewhat benevolent) rottmnt oc, Charlie, at Timothy for human friend/machine shop TA support.
Timothy is @pinetreevillain ‘s son and was only abducted momentarily for another doodle with heavy duty machinery.
PS: dealing with CNC ghosts is a mechanical engineering right of passage (and so is having a kooky TA that claims to hear the voices in their head). Might do more of Charlie later?
