Description
Still testing out Blender's 2D animation capabilities and learning some traditional animation techniques in the process. I'm pleased with the results so far.
I'm sort of making things up as I go along, Blender Grease Pencil has a really powerful automatic interpolation tool for filling in the frames in between keyframes, but it's taking me a few tries to figure out how to set up the drawings to best utilize it.

Absolutely terrific - perfectly paced, just the right amount of detail and the growth/flex look great together.

Thanks, I'm having a lot of fun learning this stuff.
I was tempted to use the "trembling" trick in this (basically transposing some of the frames at intervals), but I wanted to see if I could get the same feeling of tension without it. I've seen it used to really good effect, but to me it indicates pain and distress, and that's not what I was going for here.

Fantastic start - you have a good eye for animation! I like the additional couple of βbulgeβ frames near the very end; I think that showing the growth going just a tiny bit past the ending size adds a sense of tension / release to the animation.
As a suggestion, Iβm not sure how many frames you used, but with clever use of staggering frames you could stretch out the animation a little longer and give it that βtremblingβ effect that works so well in anime. Just a thought!

Damn, that's awesome. Fingers look a little weird, but the muscles really pop!

I really should have spent more time on the hand, but I just wanted to get to animating so I rushed it.

Haha, fair enough.Β It's still great, just I know there's an unfortunate habit on DA for blanket praise, which I know from experience isn't particularly helpful to someone who's as serious about their craft as your work insinuates you are.

No, no, I welcome meaningful criticism. You had a good point, it's just that in this one case I didn't care about how the hand looked because I was in "animation learning mode."
I might go back and redo this animation at some point. I really like how it turned out, but I can already see things I'd do to make it even better.
