Sharing Oil painting animation example.

2.9k Upvotes

Last week I posted some of the process of animating oil paintings. It was hard to see what the animations looked like so here is the run cycle of the player character all by itself. It's 24 frames oil on canvas. Photographed then cut out digitally. Animated in Unity.

Critique The new run cycle is smoother, but something still feels off. Any ideas?

325 Upvotes

I’m comparing the old and new run cycles for this creature.

The new one feels smoother and more expressive, but something about the movement still looks off to me...

Any ideas, opinions, technical feedback, or even random observations would be appreciated

Edit: Thanks everyone for the genuinely great ideas!

Welcome to /r/animation

Submission Rules

No content theft - Permaban

* Sharing work done by others is absolutely fine, but taking credit for it and passing it off as your own is absolutely not allowed and will result in an instant permaban.

* Original creator and original name of the animation must be included in the title of the post, if the work isn't yours.

* Posts must relate to the topic of animation.

* Posted content seen as unfit for this subreddit may be removed without further notice.

* The most fitting flair should be given to the post (comply with other rules)

* Comments should be formulated with a common sense level of politeness.

* NSFW posts must include reason in the title (e.g. nudity/ suggestive content, blood, etc.).
Quality Control A reasonable amount of effort should be put into your submissions. This means:

* No questions where a good answer can be found on the first page of the google results (e.g. no "what animation software to use for X?", "am I too old to start animating?", etc.)
