1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai. 

2. Previous post on breakdowns right here 

Some thoughts on acceleration and force

I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns. 

Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful. 

=w=b I had mer-ified danny and damian... with neat idea from Demo, that they change based on location they're raised. Thus Danny became koi/goldfish like, being raised in captivity (comfy place) and Damian looks more like a carp, able to survive/adapt anywhere. basically this all derives from the story of where a dragon is born when carp jumps up over waterfall. Dragon's gate. Which is exactly why Ra Al Ghul is a dragon/leviathan like mer instead :D

Danny sickly looking due to an accident, he use to be completely gold and pretty. They were separated at birth and reunited because of a storm. My friend Demo even wrote me a oneshot for me uwu/

Here some alternate flats to give them less human flesh skin.

I've been drawing a lot XD of mer bby Danny, and his pirate papa Dick. And then showed off momma Koriand'r <3 (Though since danny's a baby you can enjoy this without being into dp XD) I've been having a lot of fun with this idea >:O My friend Demo even made Awesome oneshots about it! >w< Ehehehehheheehe <3

I just thought it it was so cute ;o;. All aliens are mers in this au. below is some flats and more doodles including what if Dick was a mermaid >w< hehehe OH ALSO I took inspo from their 80s designs, and then Danny was a mix of their colors >w<b

Hm, I feel like I haven't read enough to analyze their dynamic beyond the surface. Guy pisses Ted the hell off but I think they're definitely fond of each other even if it doesn't show much. Guy shows affection to his guy friends with headlocks, noogies and wrestling so regardless of wether you're friends with him or not, you will be bullied.

Fortunately, Ted's more than capable of throwing Guy's "affection" back at him. This started with the noogie piece but turned into wanting to draw Ted body slamming Guy, can't have people thinking Ted can't hold his own!
