I’ve had the pleasure of testing out the Artist 12 3rd from ‪@XPPen‬

Everything about this display tablet, from the portability and single cable connection (which is always a HUGE) plus for me, to the very satisfying dial and button combination (perfect for someone like me that requires a tactile experience) makes this a great product overall!

I’ve been able to take this with me on the go, it fits into any bag I own that also fits my laptop, and with only one cable and the included stand, everything fits into a compact carrying experience.

Also, drawing on this was super fun and satisfying. I didn’t have to worry about quality or glare, and the texture of the tablet made using it very fun and easy to draw on. The screen size is perfect for my preferences, and I am also able to use it as a display for other things like videos or images on my extended laptop display.

Please do consider checking out the Artist 12 3rd from XPPen, and thank you to the folks at XPPen for this collaboration! #ad #XPPen #Artist123rd

It's always fun watching a shot go from sketch to completion!

Special thanks to team member Cat Solex for their contribution during the douga/cleanup stage! ^^

This was one of my favorite shots to create mainly because it combines so many different techniques that I enjoy doing in animation:

-Rotoscoping for the hand animation

-Layering multiple cels together to create a depth of field effect

-Objects and shadows interacting with other elements of the scene

-Bright glow-y effects to give a soft atmospheric effect

-Special thanks to animator Ampharox for their cleanup/in-betweens near the end of the process ^^

Idk why but I really love this hair design for Dreamer (I plan on making this one of the definitive hair designs for them when I create the final character sheet for Dreamer).

Similar to the previous scene, the Icon was animated separately floating alongside their head, to give a sense of motion in a static image. I also really enjoyed working at a slightly different angle than I normally do, as it gives more of a top-down view of the character in order to show them lower on the ground.

Big thank you to Gaomon for sending me the brand new PD1900 Pen Display for review.
I received this unit for free before it released, and I made an animation using this tablet.

This is one of those scenes that I really enjoy making, especially with the subtle glow and shadows in the scene. It makes everything blend in much better than my previous attempts at anime compositing.

The flower Icon (Buddy) was drawn on a separate layer, and was keyframed separately from the main body in order to give some subtle movement to the scene (especially since they're indoors and there's no wind to blow their hair or clothes)

This is the first shot in the Huion review animation that ended up being storyboarded. I like fading in for the first shot, so it’s nice that I was able to include something a bit more cinematic this time around.

I originally wanted to add a logo on the box but I made the decision to leave it as blank so that it didn’t distract from the shot itself.

What are some of the "secret tricks" that anime studios use in order to get the most impact out of a few frames? (And no, the answer is NOT "impact frames", lol).

Check out this video we posted to find out!

Finally biting the bullet and creating character ref sheets that i am most likely going to keep for my series moving forward.

This will be the default design for Dreamer: comfy, casual, pretty much what I would love to nap in every day. They will still keep the lab coat design (still changing/updating that) for their working scenes, but for the most part they will stay comfy ✨☁️
