Here's my first Pikmin animation, It's called Left Behind
Was a fun little outlet for me, I hope you like it! 😌
HD Version is on youtube! I'll link it in the replies
Coming together... Yes yes...
Not exactly sure how I'm gonna paint it yet, and there are some problem areas I'd like to clean up a bit, but he's comin' along
I love Pikmin
Just a little animation I did for the Blizzard Student Art Contest, I'm not so sure if qualifies me for the contest, but I thought it would be fun to try regardless!
Definitely lots of areas to improve, but I think it turned out alright 👍
Gettin' back into the swing of things, in all my years of animating I don't think I've ever done a run cycle until now
pretty rough, but golly gee do I love animating

OKAY
I think that's about as far as I can take this little guy from a sculpting standpoint. There are a few areas I could probably touch up, but if I chase perfection I'll be on this guy forever
Next up is priming and painting, which I can't do just yet with my current setup URGH
So the resin pull has a bunch of air bubbles, expectedly, but I wanted to test the painting process
It's very fun, I don't know what the plan is moving forward with resin stuff buuuuuut this test figure is coming out nice I think
@TwiddyBolt
I like them better when they blink like this, when the animated shorts make them emote using their actual eyelids it makes them seem very human
I prefer em' being more creature-like and STRANGE
I really enjoy looking through the Pikmin 4 files, there are so many nice plant models
I also enjoy doing simple rigs for all the plants so I can animate them subtly swaying for future projects heHEHEH
@TwiddyBolt
I think I've only seen one other person besides myself doing it recently, but It's extremely fun and I also want to see more people do it
I need to make mine more involved though, they're very simple right now, and not the best quality they could be either 😔
@kinpraw
I love them
Everyone else is saying it, but it reminds me of when I was on a vacation as a kid and my brother knew how much I loved pikmin, and he found a japanese magazine with adverts for Pikmin 2, so I just spent the entire vacation staring at the pages of the clay promos LOL
@TwiddyBolt
Yeee it makes complete sense, for the pikmin at least I'm gonna be doing the same thing for my animations
but for the creatures I'll keep em' as they are in the games, I like them being more like animals running on instinct rather than high intelligence specimens LOL
