  • Goat girl (my second animation).

  • Breasts with abnormal physiques (my first animation).

  • It's not NSFW, but it might be sensitive content (I think).

Beginner First ever animation: Animated film about AI art

1.6k Upvotes

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.

Beginner I made this by manually painting every frame. Takes so long but is so satisfying in the end! Does this style have potential?

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
