Watch it right here, as always!

Whoa, not a thumbnail this time?? Crazy, I know.

Currently working on a couple bigger projects, wanted to make another Pokemon animated short to tide things over in the meantime. As such, the animation process this time around didn’t contain anything too ambitious. I’m still figuring out the best way to do the “Chowder effect” in videos (here you can see it w/ the houndstooth pattern on the backpack & boots). It’s… probably better to wait until I’ve actually solved it to discuss it more, haha.

So, since this short little project didn’t really warrant a custom thumbnail, I’m instead sharing the color key I developed for the characters! The more I try to improve at this sort of thing, the more appreciation I have for it. Since animation is easier the fewer colors there are, it’s kind of a fun puzzle to see how limited I can get the palettes while still having all the important information read. How many colors can the characters share before they start looking too same-y? Stuff like that.
