This is the third scene (of 3 scenes) These were a lot of fun to do and I felt guilty taking money for animating them (but I did - I'm not that stupid). Doing some 2D animation for a freelance gig has made me kind of nostalgic for these good old days. I still have a few more scenes from #XME I can show, but I wanted to put this one up before the holidays. This was an obvious homage to #Buffy - a favorite of ours and what we were hoping to connect to in our way. Yes, heavily referenced from live-action. Intentionally. #xmenevolution #xmen #marvel #traditionalanimation #2danimation #animateddance #buffythevampireslayer #sarahmichellegellar #@sarahmgellar @elizadushku @josswhedonofficial #buffydance https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XwUdtAk3i/?igshid=163uhzjjktmde

Teen Titans Go! Season 5 aired today and so did the new dance I animated for the intro. For this one we decided to go with a choreographed group dance. Follow me at https://www.instagram.com/hayk_art/ for more!

This is the last #penciltest I have of dances I created for X-Men: Evolution. This is of #TabithaSmith aka #BoomBoom for the Walk on the Wildside episode during the #musicvideo sequence. Based on live-action, of course. #xmenevolution #xmen #marvel #traditionalanimation #2danimation #animateddance https://www.instagram.com/p/B55KjjRAq6_/?igshid=1ahr28q65bibs

This is the second scene (of 3 scenes) My biggest fear was that the overseas studio would lose too much of the integrity of my #animation when they cleaned it up and inbetweened it. Overall I think it came off pretty good and my fears were unnecessary. This was an obvious homage to #Buffy - a favorite of ours and what we were hoping to connect to in our way.

Here's another little dance segment for X-Men: Evolution's Walk on the Wildside episode (actually six short scenes). Jean and Amara doing their thing. Heavily based on live-action reference #xmenevolution #xmen #traditionalanimation #2danimation #animateddance #kidswb #jeangrey #AmaraAquilla #Magma #girlempowerment #girlpower https://www.instagram.com/p/B5nZndSAirM/?igshid=dqkqaqy52gyb

Here is a step by step progression of my animation process behind the Armenian Dance I recently finished.
