Behold! My most complex animated project to date! I learned a lot about Deinonychus and NPR rendering through this, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. What else can we do with this style? Stay tuned! #animation #sciart #Blender3D #Paleoart - ThreadSky

Beautiful animation! The creature’s movements feel so natural 💙

thdenwheja.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'm glad that turned out well. I liked the idea of it being a scientific illustration come to life, so it was important that it looked and acted like a real animal.

“Hey Google, make me a feature length film using this guy’s work that follows the plot of Lysistrata but doesn’t fully plagiarize anyone except Aristophanes. I don’t understand art.”

villeviking.bsky.social•9 days ago

Delightful work!

enberlight.bsky.social•10 days ago

Ahhh! That is SO COOL

thdenwheja.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thanks for the follow and the share! I'm also glad with how it turned out, but I didn't imagine it would get this popular already!

enberlight.bsky.social•10 days ago

Do not underestimate the paleo people on here, lol

My current micro-viral is an article I shared about an archaeopteryx fossil.

Also, animation where the drawing runs rampant all over the desk is, imo, one of the best genres.

I love the magnification part, brilliant XD

thdenwheja.bsky.social•10 days ago

Indeed. It's about time these dinosaur documentaries got their fourth wall tested. 😆

miha-ha.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is so cool!

paralipsis.bsky.social•9 days ago

This made my day. Thank you for creating and sharing this!

thdenwheja.bsky.social•9 days ago

Glad I could help!

maggbirddoodles.bsky.social•10 days ago

Wow! 😲💖

grunklemary.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is INCREDIBLE <3

vhssgd.bsky.social•9 days ago

Where can I watch the full film? This is great! =P

thdenwheja.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh, I'd love to have a full film available to you (or maybe a documentary series?). Of course, now that this has popped off, who knows what else is in store?

vhssgd.bsky.social•9 days ago

I'll be awaiting along with the many others. 👍

pailbn.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is awesome!

nerdalert42.bsky.social•9 days ago

I love this little guy so much 😭

aaltomm.bsky.social•9 days ago

Love the sounds too

thdenwheja.bsky.social•9 days ago

Those might have been the part I was most worried about (it's basically just me squealing into a microphone with a few basic filters slapped on), so I'm glad they passed the bar.

aaltomm.bsky.social•9 days ago

They're unique, not the generic dino roars.

dorkpangs.bsky.social•10 days ago

That was so well done! I look forward to your next works.

thdenwheja.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thanks! Like I've said elsewhere, this was a big learning experience for me, so I've got a lot of fun ideas of where to take this concept.

marsthemusiclover.bsky.social•8 days ago

Holy smokes, this is incredible! It's so smooth!

geenz.bsky.social•9 days ago

Cute lil guy c:

viergacht.bsky.social•10 days ago

Wow!!!!

kikidoodle.bsky.social•10 days ago

Damn this is so cool!

stung.art•11 days ago

Wow! This is sick

thdenwheja.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thanks! I really enjoyed working on it.

thetechnician.bsky.social•11 days ago

awesome! super stylish ^^

thdenwheja.bsky.social•10 days ago

Glad it worked out! I haven't done very much NPR stuff or work on twos before this, so it was a fun learning experience.

mightymewble.bsky.social•9 days ago

Okay, but this is SO COOL!!!???!! I'm in awe

secondnaturemb.bsky.social•10 days ago

Wow! This is phenomenal. So creative!

thdenwheja.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing it as well!

secondnaturemb.bsky.social•10 days ago

You're welcome. It should be seen by as many people as possible :)

blightowl.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is so awesome!!!! I love this little exploring deino dino! I feel like this would fit right in with the best of classic looney tunes. Seriously, amazing work!!!!

thdenwheja.bsky.social•10 days ago

Wow. It's almost embarrassing that I didn't have "Duck Amok" on my mind when I was making this. I love that short!

blightowl.bsky.social•9 days ago

Also I hope I haven't offended with the "your art reminds me of-" comparison 😥 I only meant the highest compliment!

thdenwheja.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh, not at all. I'm honored that something I made in my basement over two weeks garners comparison to something made by animation legends!

blightowl.bsky.social•9 days ago

I was thinking of Duck Amuck! I think Daffy would watch your animation and say "thsee, that'sth my great great great great great grandpap!"

feniiku.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is so frickin cool, I like when it jumps between the pages!

somegoat.bsky.social•10 days ago

Hell yeah! Deinonychus is one of my favorite dinosaurs.

thdenwheja.bsky.social•10 days ago

Same here! Hopefully, I did it some justice here.

kategraphics.bsky.social•11 days ago

This is soooo insanely cool! And you did this in blender?!

thdenwheja.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yep! The desk was made for Cycles, while the on-page animation was a mix of Grease pencil, painted textures, and a deep dive into Eevee's shader nodes.

jaycubed.bsky.social•9 days ago

This is ASTOUNDING I adore how it looks like a sketch that's come to life, it's so fun!

thdenwheja.bsky.social•9 days ago

Thanks! I tried a few other short animations with the sketch style, but I think showing the desk around it really sold it this time.

mostlymammoths.bsky.social•8 days ago

SUPERB!! 😍

lizbergstrom.bsky.social•9 days ago

I love it!!

revichor.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is so fun, creative, and very skilled work. Love this!!

thdenwheja.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thanks! I took a look and your profile and saw a lot of really good art, too. Maybe I can collaborate with all of these great dinosaur artists here now that this clip got their attention?

revichor.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thankya kindly! I think a collaborative project sounds like fun. Might be worth pitching for the connection, experience, and pure joy of creating. Never hurts to ask, haha.

florencedellerie.bsky.social•10 days ago

Wonderful 😍

deamnitrel.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is SO cool!

ichiseit.bsky.social•7 days ago

Oooooook

thdenwheja.bsky.social•7 days ago

Are you saying it's just okay, or is that a goblin "Ook" grunt?

ichiseit.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hmmmm

rowanauthor.bsky.social•9 days ago

This is so cool!

thdenwheja.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thank you all so much for the attention! More work on Project Sketchasaur is on the way. To tide you off until then, here's a little peak into the work that went into this!

Dangit! I used the wrong spelling of "peek" in front of my biggest audience!
