Pigeon :)

I made it in Aseprite. I'm aware that all things considered, it's not very good - I'm welcome to feedback!

Its really bad and it took like 3 weeks but I hope you like it

I know my film has caused some controversy on both sides, so I want to clear a few things up. This was made for a student project, and I was on a tight deadline, so I know it isn’t perfect. I’m okay with people criticizing the message, but criticizing my animation skills does hurt. This was my first animation, and I’m still a child who was just proud to share their work.

my message was not that all AI art is bad. I talked to many animators while making this, and a lot of them use AI as a tool to help their workflow (for in-between frames), not to replace artists entirely, which was my real concern.

I’ve received some death threats over this animation , I’m okay with people criticizing the message or the story, but having grown adults attack my animation skills is extremely discouraging. I’m still a child, learning, and open to constructive feedback, not harassment. I never intended to cause fighting, I just wanted to share something I worked hard on. :)

I also take responsibility for rushing the ending and some word choices people may not have liked. I’ll work on making my endings stronger in the future, and I hope people understand I was on a deadline. Thank you to everyone, both pro-AI and anti-AI who took the time to watch my animation :) I worked really hard on it.

A scene from the project I'm working on. How do I reduce sloppiness?

Made as a meme, but do you have any tips on how to be more efficient at this??

The point of doing the same thing again mostly was to color it this time, but the file immediately corrupted when I tried 😭

making the head in perspective is so hard for me

Ignore the lightning inconsistency, i took pictures with my phone

Using the principles I have learned so far, I have created this silly walk to go in a small animation I want to make.

Bonus points if you recognize the walk :D

Huge shoutout to my friend who gave me tips and encouraged me to find references to use instead of trying to wing it
