[2016 ASMR Ren Butterfly Animated Segment]

Interesting..
What do those symbols mean?

BlackUniGryphon responds:

Hi,

Thanks for asking. ^_^ That's a good question. :)


Oh, it's Chinese. I left a link in the description to the original film I did in 2016, which had captions, and it makes more sense.

I realize not everyone is bilingual, so it is confusing for most people.

I'm also going to be re-doing this film in 2019, and improving the content. I've come a long way since then, and still going.

Here's some of descriptions of the artwork of the Chinese characters:

It's a kind of pun or word play in Chinese, because all of the Butterflies have the words that are called "ren" but each one has a totally different meaning.

In Chinese there are many arts and poetry styles that use the Chinese characters to have other meanings, based on how the words are written, or how they sound. It makes them more profound, and deep. But, also they use pictogram writing which is picture words that are symbols, but even the ideas themselves can be symbolic.

I'm not a master of these things, but it's of interest to me, even tho' I'm not that great at it. But, This was very meaningful to me to create.

Another rejected smash skit? Well, just like the rest, it's well-done. Pretty basic, but it's charming.

Also, nice throwback to Cowboy Bebop there.

[Kirby vs Duck Hunt]

Paint Tool SAI and photoshop... and recorded with Camtasia?? Wow, that's a weird way to get animation done. I surprised it actually worked! You should try Clip Studio Paint, it's Paint Tool SAI and Adobe Flash all in one.

Aside from that, well done! It's a shame you couldn't get in the collab!

Rennis5 responds:

I find paint tool sai super intuitive to use and you can save files as a PSD, then I just use photoshop for putting the animation together, I find that really easy, but It’s very flawed, so I’ll checkout clip studio paint.
Thank you.

Test animations belong in the Animation forums, not here in the portal.

[Flash fight animations]

You ought to uppen that rating a bit. It's a bit more then just "E". :s

Anyway, pretty stellar fights all-around! It's refreshing to see sprite animations still around. The fight choreography is one of the best I've seen yet.

OzombieJ responds:

Will try to do, but thanks for the comment and the ratings, glad you liked it :)

[TheTrain has Left (Short Doodle)]

Short but sweet animation.

It’s a good start! Lines could be smoother in the background though..

chrisdercheata responds:

Thx for the comment that's a useful comment. I need criticism.I will look next time to improve this one.What I see I don't like the look of the train not really 3D I think so.

[Demotivational - X-Mas 2018]

Where exactly DO you live..??

Also, I was half expecting something violent. Cute animation however!

[Shawn's Moonshine Wine: Sleep]

Okay, now that last part was just hilarious, lol

[Grandma's kid]

What?
Don't your grandma touch you too? No? Oh.

Anyway, very TV-professional looking.. this can really pass off as an actual series here!
