OFF WORLD RETRIEVERS SHORT: "Lemme show you around" Full video here: youtu.be/H0fisWw2M1w #OffWorldRetrievers #indieanimation

remember when it was January like 2 weeks ago

she's waiting for you to cook her food. chop chop

sequel to this

the socially inept bug woman is fueling me

Animation Layers continues to be the best Blender addon ever created

I always try to reuse as many textures as possible, hand painting them is a lot of work man

I’m very forgiving about a ton of aspects of indie animation ever since starting my own, but one pet peeve I always have is “audio mixing not matching the animation quality” immaculate animation with subpar mixing is SO off to me, vice versa too

is Maris strong? is Mona light? can't it be both

what is even going on anymore

yeah I think this exoskeleton's the winner, I like the distribution on the joints and keeping the entire torso soft

also tried to do some random gun designs. not particularly interesting but good practice nonetheless

this is 3D animation gibberish but blocking with IK/FK switches is such a nightmare bro

sketched 3 random alien designs to squish my brain a bit

ty for 5k followers hihi

yeah Mona figures would be really cool but let's take it one step at a time lol

changed what Maris was holding to avoid too many spoilers

kind of impressed how excruciatingly bland I managed to make the packaging

caught the girlfriend

Penny thinks it looks fine actually

making Mona more bug-like was one of my better decisions, chitinous Mona is so cute

I really like this one personally Mona my beloved

Penny & Kassie post AND Mona post both get 1k likes within a week

if this reaches 1k likes nothing of note will actually happen, I'll probably just continue drawing and animating or whatever lol

would you believe me if I said this was yet another exoskeleton test I am really trying to make designing it more interesting lol. I think it worked

the socially inept bug woman is fueling me

GOD I still love these designs I wish I could split myself into 5 equally efficient clones that could handle all my different projects

I’ve done nothing but animate and watch Bob’s Burgers for the past week, truly the life of an indie creator

pick up the ant

this is still surreal man how is this actually happening

redesigned an oooold old character coffee-themed ghost who can't sleep so she drinks a ton of coffee to cope

think the biggest hurdle for making longer OWR animations is backgrounds and props, they take so unbelievably long to make and I'm really not great at it lol making a forest that's also all weird and alieny and also low poly, and then add a crashed spaceship to the mix, it's too MUCH for me

I feel so maternal for Tina from Bob's Burgers

Blender existing at all feels criminal, how is something THIS powerful NOT behind a shitty paywall or subscription service?? we love you Blender

mhm yes

mhm yes

POV you are Penny and you are about to get suffocated

updated her exoskeleton again which means I gotta show it off somehow
