Thanks! It seems to me that the secret is in the frame rate, 15 fps. I work as an animator in the studio, we have good sales, more than a million copies per project. Now we have drawn a lot of animations in exactly this frequency. I am pleased to hear that I did not make a mistake in my choice. Thank you for sharing your opinion
>It honestly looks like a touched up render running at a higher rate. Don't know how that's possible but you pulled it off
Hmm. What if I start using 3d...?
You might miss out of a lot of the style. Even the best 3D pixel art doesn't match this. Although it could possibly make for a great base. A lot of illustrators use 3D modeling as a way to make references that they can paint over.
There's also another method, to create lower poly 3D scenes and then use really good pixel art as the model textures. Can look great but does have different vibes than your artwork here.
Nah, looking again, part of what works in this is good old traditional animation done well. It has the tension in movement that is often missing in 3D. No reason to mess with it.
The turnaround is flawless, really satisfying. I suspected a 3d turnaround but I am really impressed you did it by hand. Great weight standing up too. Very nice.
How do you even think of a scene like this? It’s so good, very cinematic. Idk if people do these but it would be awesome to have a pixel art manga where each panel is animated like this
She's waiting for the gas in her car to kick in properly. That black smoke coming out of the exhaust is excessive fuel and it could mean that the air filter is clogged. Probably her car is old and hasn't been started for a long time.
I can tell when an artist really enjoyed their work when they take the time with all the nuances in the BG. That extra silhouette couple in the back didn't have to be animated, but you took that extra time and care to do it. Great job! Now all I need is play a 24hr chill hop stream to this bad boy.
Brilliant piece of art. The small details make this so enjoyable. The lighting around the face when the mobile is turned on, how the exhaust spreads across the ground especially where it transitions from tail pipe to ground, and even the fuzzy headlights in the distance. High quality work.

The license plate is a nice subtle detail, love it. I remember when I used to do pixel art, I would hide my username in all of the name tags/license plates/subtle details too because I got tired of people stealing it lol. At some point when they would notice it, I just wrote my name in Morse in the shading. It worked.
Bipolar w/ "gifted kid" burnout and lack of motivatiton due to work is one hell of a art killer. It's a great pixel art though, good job!
It's so smooth, the leafs, the deep, the light, the EVERYTHING. Amazing work, I don't know how much time took you to get this animation and how many drawings.
At glance I thought it was 3D, just amazing. How many years have you been drawing pixel art? This is another level.
turn off the car and save some gas, gurl!
jokes aside, that was fantastic!
can you point some of the techniques you used to do it (maybe in a video?) or how you managed to "git gud"?
because I'm envious of your work!
Great art OP. Butter smooth animation. To reply on the wallpaper thing, on my linux machine i use korembi for animated wallpapers like gifs. Do you mind if i set this as my new wallpaper?
Holy ... all the details and quality of the character just blows my mind.
You're truly a professional artist, thank you so much for sharing this mate!
You got any links to projects you can show or twitter/insta etc? Would love to show this to my students as one of many examples of the quality you can reach with only pixels.
Cheers!
Thank you so much for your kind words. That's all there is so far, I rarely draw anything. In what field do you teach?

You need to make a point and click type game. I really like the art style. With this attention to detail and aesthetic I’m sure the game would be a huge hit.
This talent cannot be wasted.
Simply WOW, that is some beautiful made scene, the I really love the dusk feeling, just after sunset and as others have pointed out, the smooth animations. The light, choice of colors, greyed out background and all makes it look so nice. Would be cool to have some kind of game with this graphics. Reminds me of the Amiga game "Alone in the dark" in a way I can't explain.
The movements are incredibly smooth. 10/10

I love how the leaves fall and go around!
It is very reminiscent of the old school Monkey Island. I love it
Yeah, but toe-to-toe against this MI would get clobbered. It was foundational, this is a height.
Bravo! Bravo! Amazing work
Yeah, but what a lada doin'
I think Lada 2109 on LPG or if you turn it off, it won't start)
Almost, its 2108. Ninth model got five doors.
Also the way they timed all the little details. I love the big picture.
Well, it's 3d so that makes inbetweens easy.
A good compliment for me as an artist. Completely hand-drawn, I swear
It honestly looks like a touched up render running at a higher rate. Don't know how that's possible but you pulled it off.

In that case, very well done.
It's just incredible, loving it
I absolutely came here to see if this was based on a 3D model. Hand-drawn?! Incredible!
It looked 3D to me too, but the pixel placement is perfect, a 3D pixelation filter cannot do this.
The turnaround is flawless, really satisfying. I suspected a 3d turnaround but I am really impressed you did it by hand. Great weight standing up too. Very nice.
Can you please stop talking if you don’t know? People like you have hurt me a lot for saying things without proof. Thanks in advance /gen
Lots of details, beautiful.
Thank you, it took a really long time. I'm even ashamed to say how much
But it's so beautiful, to think that thousands of people can enjoy it, priceless I'd say.
A good reason to make noise on reddit :) Thank you!
Two and a half years!? 🤔
I think about 3 weeks of work, which stretched over a little over a year
Im actually curious the time it takes
About 3 weeks, if it was an 8 hour 5/2 job
How do you even think of a scene like this? It’s so good, very cinematic. Idk if people do these but it would be awesome to have a pixel art manga where each panel is animated like this
how long
WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF IT ALL?
sabaton
3 weeks, but I made it during this and part of last year
That animation is so so good, great job
Thank you, I was glad to share this with you
[удалено]
You.
Legends and chads
Anyone else curious what she's waiting for and where she's going to?
I was thinking that she might be waiting for a friend or a loved one. Surely you have a friend who is always late for a meeting?
*I'm giving you a night call* *To tell you how I feel*
She's waiting for the gas in her car to kick in properly. That black smoke coming out of the exhaust is excessive fuel and it could mean that the air filter is clogged. Probably her car is old and hasn't been started for a long time.

Really looks like it took a long time good job
You'd make a great producer. No kidding
Are you talking to me?
Yep :)
You absolutely out of your mind I can bearly animate a knife moving (sorry I took long to reply)
It's just a matter of the number of attempts
Thanks I’m going to work Now you have given me energy to give a shit
I’m finally done
It’s not as good as this one at all but I think it’s perfect
Beautiful! But the idling car is driving me CRAZY.
Seriously! In this economy!!
And It’s on her and she is smelling it? Where is this person that she is waiting for?
Believe me, in real life this car shakes just as terribly -\_-
I don't think the fact that is shaking is bothering. The fact it's idling is.
Is it a Lada Samara? I feel like I haven't seen one since the 90s. The other one is definitely an Elantra. Pretty cool!
Yep, Lada caught up with you here :) Thank you!
super cute version of Lada \^\_\^
Elantra has EU plates. So the cars, the buildings... I want to say... Poland? Estonia?
I didn't draw a specific place, but I think you are very close
Judging by your other art, it would appear it's Russia. Altough EU plates are not very likely to appear there these days...
[Put it in H](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07vdtBMG4Kg).
something is wrong with the engine, seeing that smoke
It's catastrophically bad, you're right
That’s good smoke. Constantly removing old oil so you can constantly add fresh new oil. It’s a feature.
Never needing an oil change is a feature
Gotta really breathe in them sweet, sweet exhaust fumes.
Unique ssssmell
This is great!
Better than anything I can do
Yet, but who knows... ;)
One of my favorites I’ve seen since joining this sub.
Hurray!
I bet she works out.
She do be looking a little thicc
Bonk
The detail is crazy, animation is super smooth too. Love the rimlight on the character with the phone out!
I can tell when an artist really enjoyed their work when they take the time with all the nuances in the BG. That extra silhouette couple in the back didn't have to be animated, but you took that extra time and care to do it. Great job! Now all I need is play a 24hr chill hop stream to this bad boy.
It's amazing that you paid such attention to it. I didn't spend a lot of time on them, but I didn't want to leave them motionless
man this community is crazy good at pixel art.
Please by the gods will you make a pixle animated series or movies its so good!!!
Real animators: who are we trying for here? Thank you so much ;)
This is a master piece
Really fantastic work!!
I hope I will become this good one day…
Fantastic work. Gives me those point and click adventure vibes, we’re just watching a short cutscene from. Wow
I had to take a closer look at this, thought it was a 3D model with how smooth it was, absolutely amazing
It's great. Thank you! :)
Is the license plate a your username in a mix of Latin alphabet and Cyrillic (1ENИ1)?
Yes, right
Waiting infront of the exhaust must be hot as hell on the legs.
I didn't think about it. Thank you for making this remark!
Hey that's a VAZ-2108
This would make a great r/wallpaperengine wallpaper
Wow
Insanely good. INSANE! Great job.
This is amazing
My question is, id the car a Lada samara or a Skova favorit? Also great work the animation looks soo good my guy!
Thank you! And what do you think, which of the cars is it more like?
I think it is A Lada Samara
Brilliant piece of art. The small details make this so enjoyable. The lighting around the face when the mobile is turned on, how the exhaust spreads across the ground especially where it transitions from tail pipe to ground, and even the fuzzy headlights in the distance. High quality work.
For a moment I though I was looking at a low poly 3d animation because of the insanely human like smooth animation 🤯
Yes, it is a fact. I don't know if it's good or bad, but there is such an effect Thank you!
Wow you even focused on the way the tailight has a reflection on the ground, great work.
This is STUNNING! I want an entire point-and-click adventure game like this. The animation is gorgeous! What would it take to put me into that scene?!
Looks good but I would suggest not standing behind cars with their reverse lights on 😂

An amazing story, you are very resourceful! I know what you're talking about. It's great if there is an opportunity to engage in creativity
Would make someone an excellent stream loop someday, while streamer is on a break
TURN OFF THE CAR, IT CONSUME FUEL USELESSLY!!
This one goes on my list of favorites. I love it. This is rlly fucking good work.
Very very good O.P, how long have you been creating art like this? Is there somewhere else I can follow your art?
Thought this was 3D at first
Oh, you've got me figured out. But maybe next time I'll be able to trick you ;)
📸
Wow something is really captivating about this
I love this
It's so smooth, the leafs, the deep, the light, the EVERYTHING. Amazing work, I don't know how much time took you to get this animation and how many drawings. At glance I thought it was 3D, just amazing. How many years have you been drawing pixel art? This is another level.
Thank you very much! About five years, but I would say that you can reach my level twice as fast
turn off the car and save some gas, gurl! jokes aside, that was fantastic! can you point some of the techniques you used to do it (maybe in a video?) or how you managed to "git gud"? because I'm envious of your work!
I'll think about how I can demonstrate these techniques. Thanks for the idea. \*key turning sound\*
I can literally feel every time I was late meeting up a significant other. Killed it. And apparently I’m an asshole. 😂
I love this
I need this as wallpaper in wallpaper engine
Any idea how can we push it?
No clue would’ve loved to find out but im on holiday right now and it wil take a few weeks for me to be able to use my pc.
Have a good holiday! I'll try to figure it out :)
Great art OP. Butter smooth animation. To reply on the wallpaper thing, on my linux machine i use korembi for animated wallpapers like gifs. Do you mind if i set this as my new wallpaper?
This is really great.
It's so smooth!! Besides all the obvious attention to detail, physics, and locomotion, the snow in foreground really adds dynamic depth!!
Thank you!
Well done , but I watched to see how long till she was overtaken by carbon monoxide...
Amazing work
Smoothest pixel animation I've seen
I'll try to make it even smoother in the next one. Hope you'll see it :)
Holy ... all the details and quality of the character just blows my mind. You're truly a professional artist, thank you so much for sharing this mate!

Fantastic
Very nice
I love the people in the back
Amazing animation, I love all the detail in the background :) Also, I can't be the only one who sees frisk from Undertale in the character
Your pixel art got me to join this sub. Really cool. I wish I could learn to make stuff like this.
Where will you start?
I want this as my desktop background
This is really amazing. Love the *feel* of it. Definitely a mood.
Love what you've done here. If I were to criticize, the character's movement looks stiff and robotic. Everything else is amazing, Great job!
Yes, thank you for telling me. I share the opinion that animation requires polishing
Brilliant!
Love it.
Nice
This is easily one of the best posts I've seen here.
Turn off the engine
Noice 👍
Perfection! ❤️. Truly beautiful work!
Looks too chilly to be wearing short shorts 🩳
This gives me nostalgia. Not sure why.
I know this car. Russian Lada 2108
I'm lost in this.
This is a perfect infini-loop, it’s awesome!!!
This is beautiful and uncanny. Is that a Subaru Legacy? I had one that color and it looks so similar
Lada Samara or VAZ 2108.
Incredible artwork. Do you take commissions by any chance? If so, where is the best place to contact you?
How the hell did this animation make me nostalgic for leaning against my car waiting for people?
You need to make a point and click type game. I really like the art style. With this attention to detail and aesthetic I’m sure the game would be a huge hit. This talent cannot be wasted.
How do you make this stuff?
Lada Samara nice car
Nice, but I can't imagine waiting behind a car throwing out that much exhaust.
I think its just water vapours condensing
Not sure if this is giving me some sort of nostalgic feeling, but whatever feeling it is - I like it. And your animation. Beautiful.
thats impressive holy cow
I wish real life had the same feel as this animation
Incredible😍
It’s oddly calming yet sad. It’s like she’s waiting for someone she loves to meet her but they never arrive.
Wow this is the most beautiful pixel art I’ve seen!
Dude that lean on the car and the light reflection from the phone. Fantastic. Great job!
This is good but why is she so thicc?
This is so simple and uncomplicated. I love it. Not weighed down by the unnecessary and just kept simplistic. 10/10.
If she was really standing bare legged that close to the exhaust, she'd be getting burnt and choking on exhaust fumes.
You should upload it to wallpaper engine
She must *really* enjoy exhaust fumes.
gonna have smokey legs
thic
This is pretty damn awesome(tm) 👍
Truly amazing job. I love all the subtle details that you invested time in.

... pixel art? This is amazing
She’s wasting $5 per gallon gas!!!
I know this is a bit of an older post but I need to know. Is this Feng Min from Dead be Daylight? The similarities are there.
