Spoopy guy for my spoopy game. Moho rig – works real well even when aliased so a nice fit for my low res 90's style game!
Rooms are being stitched together... can now walk through the whole house almost. And yep, also back at developing this :D #indiegames #gamedev #adventuregame #retrogame
"Dating Advice" – Just a little something i made in Moho 😊 Audio is from "Conan the Destroyer" (1984) and features Olivia d'Abo as well as the magnificent Grace Jones. #animation #mohoanimation #illustration #drawing #art #indieanimation
It's busy in animation-land! Working on a little scene in Moho and also did a first, super generic crappy walk cycle in Umoupen to get to know the timeline better :D Happy that the animation software landscape is becoming more diverse! #indieanimation #animation
Took an hour to learn Umoupen lol… guess one advantage of being a 2D animation app nerd… Anyways, definitely one the competition should keep an eye on. 😉👀 Could get dangerous. Adobe Animate refugees with a focus on frame by frame should be really happy though!
Making a lil’ skit in @toonsquid.bsky.social and building old school, symbol based pseudo rigs for it! Fun! #toonsquid #animation #indieanimation
Finally got around finishing this guy. Really want to animate a walk cycle with him! Some animation would be nice for a change haha. #stopmotion #claymation
I learned how to make silicon molds tonight to make replacement heads more easily especially for things like squash and stretch! Apart from some leaks in my form, i it went surprisingly smooth! Exciting!
Still looots of smoothing necessary and he's missing his shoes but we're getting there... #stopmotion
My new website is online! I offer storytelling, animation and consulting services, including for Moho but there's much more to discover! Let me help you bring your stories or Moho project to life! 👉 www.joelmayer.io #mohoanimation #indieanimation
Wonderful time in Prague and of course couldn‘t miss the opportunity to visit the Karel Zeman Museum!
Behold, my new Moho Animation Showreel! I am a full-time freelancer now offering animation and consulting services for all things Moho. See my new website for more info 👉https://joelmayer.io/services #animation #mohoanimation #moho #rigging #artist #art #animator
Fullfilled a life-long ambition on the first day of freelancing and finally set up a proper Stop Motion Studio 💘 Can't wait to make cool stuff! #stopmotion #claymation
Okay, re-sculpted this guy AGAIN but this time with the Newplast (HUE) clay... still kinda wonky in places but not tooooo bad for a first flat puppet... i think i'm happy enough now to animate him eventually. #claymation #stopmotion #clay #art #animation
„Oy!“ A new claymation character… i think i‘m slowly getting better at them 😅
Inspired by Oli Putland's way of animating rigs, i experimented with just animating a quick and dirty character on two's straight ahead today in Moho. Was fun and i like that it doesn't look tween-y. Definitely want to explore more into that direction.
A cut-out puppet making traditional animation, now i've seen everything. #mohoanimation #animation #moho #indieanimation
Been playing a Monkey Island game for the first time in probably like 10 years and felt compelled to draw an Elaine 😅 #monkeyisland #fanart #adventuregames
Little explorer i made as a Moho rig for my website. He's gonna be the guide leading through all the things. #mohoanimation #animation
Some Moho rough (frame by frame) animation to start the day. #mohoanimation #indieanimation
Finally got around to make another one of my uber long Moho tutorials so if you want to get some pointers on how to get gud at drawing in the software maybe give it a looksie :) @mohoanimation.bsky.social #mohoanimation #moho #animation #indieanimation

Might be an unpopular opinion but soviet Winnie the Pooh blows the Disney version out of the water 😆 I like the grumpy optimism ( i don't understand a word he's saying but he sure sounds likea worker who knows what he's talking about) #animation

Drawing Icons directly in Moho now instead going through a dedicated vector graphics app... Just one more and i'm almost ready for the reveal haha.
Two resources with great references for what (in my opinion) makes great designs for 2D cut-out/rigged animation! And best of all: they're both completely free! Z is for Zagreb: archive.org/details/z-is... Cartoon Modern animationobsessive.substack.com/p/our-treat-...
