Idle Animation

/

Here’s an idle animation of a background character.

I usually like to animate the “keep alive” animation straight ahead. Not much planning behind it like I would in a traditional shot, but a subtle life like motion to keep an unmoving character in the background feeling alive.

This character is an Octo wearing a body tank. It’s kinda silly but it’s the only reasonable way I can see these guys carrying a gun around. They have to wear it. They are the muscle for this species of little squidy pusses. They don’t say much. Sometimes they run around trying to shoot people.

That’s all I have to show for now. I have multiple shots being blocked out at the moment. I’ll post a big one when it’s complete, along with a progression breakdown. I want to show every stage of animation from reference to final polish.
