M.A.P M.E.P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB5KhdrUcd4

I would like to host one featuring the creatures from Eggcave
But, don't worry you don't need to have EXTREMELY MAGNICAFACANT A+++++ art.
Just put your heart into it. 😃

I haven't settled on a song, but I was planning on using this song.

(Oh man, if only I weren't such a terrible procrastinator, jeez! I'll check back into this thread once I'm finished with duties I'm committed to elsewhere. Glad to see there is an interest in an EggCave MAP though! ❤️ Whoo!)

@kagemander @dragonii

This sounds super super fun!!!

I'd love to join in but I've never really done animation. I'd like to say i'm a pretty nice artist though!

Could I still somehow contribute?

How exactly would this work? 😊

dragonii • 11 January 2016 at 7:57 PM

AHH, I'm so glad some people found an interest it this! 😃

@dragonnn I totally understand. xD Gatta finish some other art things myself but ya know gotta get distracted with other art projects. 😋

@raccoon You don't need to do animation, unless you would like to. That's were the M.E.P coms in.

I would Split it up into diffrent parts and add numbers to show what part is what and how many parts there would be.
The set up is going to be similar to this.

@dragonii

Oh yay! Definitely sign me up! 😊

lenamilove • 11 January 2016 at 8:09 PM

Ooh, I could do drawings, I'd love to join. I prefer 40 Winks out of the two recommended. This sounds really fun, makes me think back to when I'd mess around on Hatena.

I've got some art projects to catch up on too, but so far it looks like I'll have time. 😊

@lenamilove @raccoon Alright, When I get the M.A.P sign ups I'll let you guys know. 😃

@dragonii
I might be able to try it out, but is there any way we could send our parts to you without uploading a video to YouTube?

dragonii • 14 January 2016 at 4:45 PM

@ricefishie You can send it to me through send space.





Oh. man There's going to be more then 25 parts...

budgie • 14 January 2016 at 8:45 PM

@kagemander If I can get my tablet working, I'd absolutely love to help on a MEP. Are there specific creatures you'd like to have in it?

dragonii • 14 January 2016 at 9:53 PM

@kisamari cool! Nope, it can be what ever eggcave creature you want to do. :>

budgie • 15 January 2016 at 8:11 AM

@dragonii Alright, I'll go hunting for my tablet today and see if it's still working ^-^

dragonii • 18 January 2016 at 7:58 AM

@polaroid Many people start with a few eye blinks. One thing I suggest is (Gonna slightly change a great quote)

Animate! Animation is a learning process. The more you Animate, the more you'll learn, and the better you'll get. There are no shortcuts, so stop looking for them, pick up a pen or sit down in front of your computer, and start Animating. You'll make mistakes and draw bad Animation, but you'll learn a lot more from those than you will by sitting around and just dreaming about it.

And if you can or if you have the time try to look at each frame done by other animators. It might help you realize how to animate certain things that you see yourself struggling. On youtube you can slow the video down and see the different frames the animator made to get the transition.

Here are a few Animation tip videos that I look at every once and a while. ;3

https://youtu.be/rO76BlazAJA Learn how to animate with Egorapter

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bOh8btec4CXd2ya1NmSKpi92U_l6ZJd Playlist: 12 Principles of Animation

Another thing is animation is a process that works at your patience. so there are times where you have to force yourself to push forward.

@kisamari @ricefishie @lenamilove @raccoon @dragonnn

I want to thank you all for taking an interest in working on a M.A.P M.E.P with me.

I have decided to settle on the song 40 winks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_grRQJ5qgQ

I will make a new thread for the sign ups and video. This thread will be used as a way to say what kind of M.A.P/M.E.P you guys want me to host next. :>
