Description AU!Edith (set in the 1940's) trying to emote... I got ridiculously sloppy at the end but that's just typical me.


I'd love to hear your thoughts


Added extra frames

Maybe be a bit sloppy at the end, but I still think you did a fantastic job with this!

It doesn't look like you referenced anything either, which, is impossible for me not to. So, *bows before you*.

I'm still looking for the sloppy bit. It must be hiding behind all of the awesome frames. It looks to me like she was about to make a scowl at the end, and that would cause sort of a scrunch in expression. That would give off more creases around the mouth and eyes. Still can't see sloppy out of that. I just see extra strokes that make her appear more concerned over something. It's lovely; I like it.

This is always where I make my biggest mistake; I don't plan ahead I had an idea of where to take this animation, but meh - then it sort of went its own way and this is what I ended up with.

Brinatello In reply to TopHatTurtle [2013-12-30 05:51:40 +0000 UTC]

But it's great! From my POV, anyway. I see you've added in more frames to complete her scrunch of an expression. The last bit looks like she's about to say, "Oh, fine!" Or is it another well-known 'f' word?

TopHatTurtle In reply to Brinatello [2013-12-30 11:18:16 +0000 UTC]

I did yeah I don't think I'll do more with this, not for now at least, but man, it is so much fun to animate this stuff.

And yeah - 'Fine' would be a very possible outburst. Fuck not so much, Edith does possess a certain kind of class that I myself never could uphold. Ever.

Brinatello In reply to TopHatTurtle [2013-12-30 21:27:27 +0000 UTC]

Ha! I refrained from typing the word out when I'm never sure who can handle it and who can't. I figured it was 'fine' when Edith does seem like a very classy young lady. A lot of the women were back then. I mean, look at the mom in A Christmas Story. That film took place in the early 1940's, and when little Ralphie said the 'f dash dash dash' word, well, she got out the bar of soap!

Never seen that movie...

But yeah, I have to admit I swear a LOT... But a LOT... I do feel weird writing swear words though. Somehow it comes out much harsher when written than said. Probably because I can't control ho it will be read, whereas when it is said out loud, it is easier to take it more light-spirited. ^^

Tune in to TBS at any time of the day on Christmas Eve and you'll catch it. TBS runs the movie every year as a marathon on December 24th. I swear too, often times more than I like. It just comes out when I get angry enough and it's f-this and f-that. I do try to control it in typing in comments, when I can't edit here.

Wasn't it? With the way I toss the 'f' word around, I'd probably have the soap in liquid form poured on every meal like a sauce or dressing!

Thanks you Right back at'cha.

I REALLY hope to add more frames, but knowing me, the chance of that happening is INCREDIBLY slim

Don't worry, it looks laconic and complete enough^^

I just adore her expression here!

That is so gorgeous, I can't stop watching.
You're so good at capturing emotions, but whenever you put them in a animated loop it's just... too much to handle.

Edith looks just beautiful, she has so much class and so much emotions to show.
I can't get enough of her.

I'd write a longer comment, but am unable to right now, sorry~

Thanks a mill yo. I really wish I had the patience to animate. I mean, it IS a lot of fun, and I have so many ideas I want to get out, but my lazy nature seems to win every time

Yaraffinity In reply to TopHatTurtle [2013-12-27 21:54:50 +0000 UTC]

Awwh... it's okay to be lazy.
We all have ideas and hopes we can't fullfill. So no worries.

Maybe one day you will animate the most gorgeous scenes, completely detailed.
And besides, you share your ideas in a more roughly way, which is awesome!
We can take a peek in your inspiration tank that way
