#tbb animation

I’ve decided to post all of the progress here as well, not just on instagram. Some people have asked to be tagged once I post some progress, but I can’t remember who they were. So if you wanna see future progress, let me know and I’ll tag you!

This one may not look too different from the previous one, but nothing really turned out the way I intended to.

The colors, the textures, the focus, the sounds, the camera, everything just seems so off, and oh boy the animation… this is the result of rushing and not knowing what I’m doing, just inserting keyframes, tweaking the graph editor and hoping for the best. So maybe signing up for this project wasn’t a great idea after all lol. Plus the datapad’s not even fully textured, you can literally see where I started adding details on the front, then for some reason I just left off lol

One thing I’ll definitely work on in the future is the menu itself, because if this project is for a graphic design thesis, then I might as well try to make the only thing that has something to do with it look more presentable. I’ll definitely be changing up the fonts, and I have some other ideas for the background as well.

But for now, I’ll move on to the remaining 5 character menu animations. Originally there were gonna be 5, not 7. At first I was randomly picking out the characters I wanted to make one for, then I realized, it’d probably be best, if each squad got one animation. The 501st gets Rex, the 212th gets Cody, the CG gets Fox, the 104th gets Wolffe, and the 241st gets Tukk. CF99 got Hunter but I really wanted to make one for Tech as well, since modeling and texturing him took the longest 💀

If you stare at the GIF for awhile (Who couldn't?) and look at Crossy's eyes...

Remember, this is the scene on the Imperial ship with the new stormtrooper non-clone conscripts. When they challenge his authority to run their squad and his future as a clone.

For a split second he looks at the floor in shame while probably second guessing himself. Cross seems strong at this point, but he feels very insecure trying to find a place in the galaxy for himself at this moment. That small hint of sadness in his eyes. Maybe a tiny bit of realization what the trooper says is true.

Then he becomes angry and determined. The tiny upward hitch of the toothpick, as he grinds down on it with his teeth. Was it the chip? Or did Crosshair's true nature rear up and he was like "Fuck You" to all of that. Maybe ticking off another hashmark like on their home on Kamino, to which soldier in this unit might be soon expendable himself...

For the people who do not follow me on instagram, here’s a lil sneak peek of how the menu of my game will look like(still a wip)

As i was working on my new tbb project, i was like...why not make a lil animation to test if the rig works properly? (side note, that's the first time i've ever animated anything 3d in my life lmfao) I mean it kinda does, the weight painting is off on Hunter's scarf, and some of his armor parts correspond weirdly, but i'll fix it later.

So until i release my next completed project, enjoy this lil thirst trap lol (please watch it with the sound on to get the full...experience lmfao)

Have this WIP animation I’m working on with Omega from Bad Batch and my OC, her baby sister, Youngling Maisy.

In case you can’t tell I’m replicating THAT scene in Arcane 1x3 (iykyk). This isn’t the only animation I’m working on. I’ve currently got 2 other ideas planned out but this was the one that is farthest along progress-wise. It takes so long because in order to get the right pose/expression, I have to draw the animation out in the Arcane characters first then go in and draw Bad Batch/OC on top.

The other 2 ideas I’ve also got the actual monkeybomb explosion scene+aftermath and the ending where instead of Powder and Silco, it’s Maisy and Crosshair.
