@The_DarkMess I bet I had Soul Eater+Yutaka Nakamura's animation on the brain for that last one, but IIRC I was winging it on most of them. That just comes with filling your mental library IMO

[Sean Ward @afraux]

Buncha old concept animatics I did for Solar yeearrss ago.

[Heart Machine Official @HeartMachineHQ]

"Anime as Fuck" was the idea.

"The exaggeration and the keyframes are really what sells [an animatic]." - @HeartMachineZ on @afraux's work on the #SolarAsh animatic.

"I try to be as efficient as I can." - @afraux

"One of the steps that takes the most time is finding an early basic idle pose that communicates the character. Dro's a little bit less energetic or brutal than other characters. There's a sort of lethargy to her movements." - @afraux

The reveal trailer for our next project is out!

I did preliminary boards and animatics on this sequence long ago, and @StudioGrackle did an unbelievable job bringing it to life! I'm still stunned.
