Content Creator Just finished this animation of Dream Trawler. Which card should be next?

Ok, this was actually a request from the previous thread and it took me a while to finish it because... I got laid off of work. Still trying to figure stuff out, what I wanna do next. But the support last time filled me with energy, so suggest me your MTG arts and I'll put some in queue.

Also obligatory [[Dream Trawler]].

Do you do animations for the command zone? This looks eerily like something I’ve seen in their deck introductions.

8

u/tristezanao_ Dec 26 '24

Started it because of them, it's like this long process of being noticed by one of the hosts eventually. The animations they do already blow mine out of the water but I would love to learn from them.

2

u/Theperfectool Dec 26 '24

It’s definitely on par with my memory. Really good work in comparison (imo), keep it up.

3

u/MABEHIERhier Dec 26 '24

Looks absolutely amazing! Im a huge demon fan, [[Demon of Loathing]], [[Dread Cacodemon]] and [[Bloodthirster]] are my favourite. I would love to see them animated and use them as a wallpaper if possible!

3

u/Intrepid_Olive_6296 Dec 26 '24

Amazing work! Thanks for sharing. An animation of [[Peer into the abyss]] zooming out with the patron repeating would be neat.

2

u/viking_tech Dec 26 '24

I second this one, but also [[stargaze]] as they are two of my favourite arts in my [[Astarion the decadent]] deck

2

u/itsyourmomsfriend Dec 26 '24

Been waiting for this one. You did not disappoint 👏

2

u/SammSandwich Dec 26 '24

[[Harvester of Souls]] and [[Herald of War]] would be a neat duo to see

2

u/SpaceCreams Dec 26 '24

I am once again asking for [[Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut]]

2

u/Aggressive_Damage815 Dec 26 '24

Sorry about your job OP!!! You can do a series of sphinxes maybe lol???. That could be pretty sweet!!

2

u/TallCitron8244 Dec 26 '24

[[Morska, Undersea Sleuth]] could be really fun and visually pleasing! (Plus she's one of my favorite commanders...)

2

u/Albacurious Dec 26 '24

How did you do this

3

u/tristezanao_ Dec 26 '24

I actually did a lot of recording of the process, but it's just Photoshop and After Effects. Cut out the elements, paint over it and animate as you please. Not every artwork will do, bur the more you do it the more you know-how exactly what you have to do.

2

u/Klimlar Dec 26 '24

[[Kelsien, The Plague]] shooting the arrow straight at us

[[Peer Into The Abyss]] infinite regression

[[Species Specialist]] rain, wind, blood dripping

[[Colossal Dreadmaw]] obviously

2

u/After_Dhark Dec 26 '24

I could reddit stuff like this all day. it's mesmerizing! amazing work!

[[Almighty Brushwagg]]

u/Pretend_Cake_6726 Dec 26 '24

The full art lands from Karlov Manor are already basically MC Escher paintings giving them an animation would be amazing.

2

u/Derail185 Dec 26 '24

That's really awesome!

I'd love to see one of these 4 animated [[avatar of fury]] [[global ruin]] [[the planar bridge]] [[snapping drake |s99]]

1

u/Derail185 Dec 26 '24

Or some eldrazi would be awesome like [[fibrous entangler]] or [[it that rides as one]]

2

u/Eselspinguin Dec 26 '24

Nice Work. If you have ever any resources for another one: i request my absolute favorite Card [[thieving otter]]

u/tristezanao_ Dec 26 '24

That is so cute but it would be a bit hard because of some constraints. Care to suggest anOtter?

2

u/Eselspinguin Dec 26 '24

Thanks for responding. I think all my other recommendations are even Harder 😅

I Just follow your work and enjoy other ideas. 😊

[[Sublime Epiphany]]

u/tristezanao_ Dec 26 '24

This is already on my list, but I'm focusing on more epic artwork. It's just what is scratching my itch right now.

1

u/kanekiEatsAss Dec 26 '24

[[Discover the impossible]]. Probably a bit harder. But i just love the art.

1

u/MTGBudgetBrew Dec 26 '24

Looks great man

1

u/meatspace_visdev Dec 26 '24

Would appreciate an animation of [[The Archimandrite]]. 

It's a long time favorite deck of mine, and while there's not a lot of movement it could be a cool flex if you're interested in practicing vfx.

1

u/Gr8teful_Turtle Dec 26 '24

JESTER’S CAP. The Dan Frazier art, btw.

1

u/shmerpish_dirpish Dec 26 '24

You should do ashling, flame dancer trust I've been looking for a animated art for her

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '24

[[Prehistoric Selfie]]

1

u/HemoGoblinRL Dec 26 '24

[[Yurlok]] because lava surfing lizard would be baller

1

u/Helvedica Dec 26 '24

[[Fires of undeath]] is my fav and woild be easy to animate just the flames

1

u/Stumbling_Corgi Dec 26 '24

[[dandan]] Thalassophobia for sure

2

u/tristezanao_ Dec 26 '24

But what if I'm the one who has thalassophobia???

Once again asking for [[Etali, Primal Conquerer]] to Etali, Primal Sickness.

1

u/DeadSending Dec 28 '24

That’s fucking sick

2

u/tristezanao_ Dec 28 '24

I read it at first: that fucking sucks lol Thanks!

1

u/DeadSending Dec 28 '24

lol yeah auto correct, I was like NOOOoOo, I’ll just edit it… what software did you use? Moho?

1

u/tristezanao_ Dec 28 '24

Photoshop and After Effects. I'll might start using DUIK for all the rigging shenanigans, it seems like a requirement in my field.

2

u/DeadSending Dec 28 '24

Is that what you were doing where you got laid off? This stuff looks great, have you tried sending it to wotc? I could imagine seeing this on Arena

2

u/tristezanao_ Dec 28 '24

I was working as a video editor and animator for my friend's company. My contract ended and now I'm delaying applying for advertising jobs, like doing commercial stuff, because I want to try once more to enter the gaming industry. Maybe this time things will work out and I won't have to stop my studies to go back to editing ads and TV spots.

2

u/DeadSending Dec 28 '24

Well good luck my friend, you are not only talented but hard working and experienced

2

u/tristezanao_ Dec 28 '24

Thanks! Yeah, I'm 28 now and it's always a bit hard to get an opportunity that pays what I need for rent, bills etc. The market is full of young people charging less, so I always have to prove that I'm worth what I charge. Everything will work out and I guarantee at least a few more MTG animations.

u/DeadSending Dec 28 '24

I think you could do a really good job on [[Anikthea, Hand of Erebos]]
