@hoekyoueediot @FranciscoTNG_ Probably not the best example, but even here, Irven animated this shot with quicker movements that ease smoothly, but there’s more intentionality behind the weight. There’s more emphasis on the beehive’s plastering on Tom’s head. After that, the animation picks up in pace!
@hoekyoueediot @FranciscoTNG_ Irven Spence never animated that way. He’d make quick movements and there’d be minimal easing. His work on Tom and Jerry will heavily disprove a theory like that.
@Gfurriends This shot particularly stood out in a good way. The character’s proportions feel so off, yet the appeal is at an all time high. SpongeBob looks thinner, and Krabs’ lower body is taller.
@Isacx_Plays Hi Issac. Are you the creator of Poppy Playtime, or is it Seth and Zach? Secondly, did you expect there to be major changes to your story as you were leaving? Is it hard for you to see these creative changes? Was the Doctor always panned to return? Why was Prototype a jester?
@SThebulbmin What gives it away is the way Tom’s war ends, the cheeks, and narrow eyes. I forget the way he’s animated here, but everything else screams Irven Spence!
