Hi everyone, how have you been? as you may be notice, I haven't been so active here on DA for a good amount of time, and I think it's time to clarify the reason, be ready because this is kind of a long story.....
Well, It all started at the beginning of the year, due to economy problems I had to find a job, and at 1st I wasn't lucky, then, on February I think, I was called to an interview and thanks god I get the job!, so I became an animator in a little independent animation studio XP, but at that time I was also taking classes of "2D animation" on school, so, I ended up animating in the morning and then animating in the afternoon XP, it is like making sprite sheets, but with bigger resolution and more back-pain than ever (because well, having to be sitting in front of a computer 8 hours everyday isn't easy, but I'm not complaining XD), only problem, at one point I had to work on both projects at the same time, It was hard, but then one day the boss told us that the deadline of our project was shortened, in other words, we're running out of time, so, I had to stop working on my own project to dedicate more time to my work
So, basically that's why I haven't done much things here on DA as usual, some you may be thinking "But you had the night free, you could have worked on your sprites and your project at night", well, to answer that: believe me, after working on a computer technically all day, the last thing you want to see at the end of the day is another computer XD
About my project: It technically was the final project of my "2D animation" class, the video had to be of 45 sec. long, being that the minimum amount of time required, we couldn't use "puppets" to animate, and everything had to be drawn frame-by-frame (you know, good old school style), my video is a parody to the game "Rockman X over", mostly to poke fun of the character of "Over-1" (don't worry, it isn't a hate video or something like that, I was just having fun with the character), I personally call this project something "out of control", mostly because it started as a comic that I was yet to finish to upload here on DA, then I choose it to become my animation project, then I saw that the video became too long (3 minutes or something), so I had to left out some stuff, the final result become some kind of "cut" version, the audio was ready, as well as the keyframes, and I had like 3/4 of the animations ready (lacking color and backgrounds XP), I'm planning to finish it properly but I don't know when I will be able to do that, the only thing I showed about the video was this image or Over-1: [link]
Well, I think everything is clear now, but if you still have some questions fell free to ask me, I think that's all for now, take care
