Here's another animation I've made, which is for part of a 2D Sci-Fi animation workshop for college. This time, we had to create some sort of alien presenting facial expression, and over coming a problem with a power of theirs. This is kind of my first "lengthy" animation I have made, considering my last one was about roughly a second or two long. This one is an "impressive" 10 seconds, and it took me about three days to make, and I'm pretty happy with it overall.

Firstly, I know the alien isn't exactly professional looking, as I just stuck with my usual cartoony roots, or just way within my comfort zone basically. Although, I like personally like the simple, cute design overall. I pretty much used my inspiration towards Wander Over Yonder for this guy, as you may or not already tell. Some of the character's features (e.g. the hand) may look slightly off, since I did have to rush it a little in order to get it done on time. What I do like about this animation is that I like the more smoother look to it, and already looks more nicely presented. I'm also overall satisfied with the animation itself, which I do find fluid most of the time. I also did the animation frame by frame, using different layers to keep me sort of on point, and to save me as much time as possible. I personally do prefer doing frame by frame animation, but I'm sure that's what cost me the three days, although I thought it was worth it.

Also, I animated in ToonBoom for this animation, and I have to say, I really do prefer ToomBoom over Flash. Mainly because I find it more convenient, more advance (I like me some advance softwares), and I just found it much better to draw in. When drawing the character, I kind of treated the software as if it were Paint-Tool SAI, which I'm easily familiar with, and really do find more helpful and better then Flash.

Overall, being happy with it, I may later finish this off in my spare time. I plan on to add a background, establishing shot, sound effects, and background music too, hopefully anyway. So I may update on this sometime in the future.

Anyway, I hope you all like it! Also, by the way, I'm sure some of you maybe wondering when I will be doing more drawings of Ralph and the "gang", and I would like to say soon. I do apologies that the last few uploads of mine were part of my college projects. But usually I do like to share what I'm doing in college, since I thought you guys would enjoy them. But don't worry, I will be doing more stuff with Ralph the Raccoon and "Friends" soon. Although, I do have some college work to catch up with first. As soon as I get that out of the way, then I will sure be doing more stuff with Ralph, because I really want to as well, and I even had a few thoughts about making short little web comics even.

Anyway, I shall shut up and stop rambling on now, and let you all peacefully enjoy the animation. Enjoy!
