If you have any questions or topics that you want us to cover, let us know!

Letting you guys know in advance; Omega good job making the tutorials :thumbsup: It's been a looong time since a great series of tutorial came. Thanks for taking the time!

oo this is looking crispy. I remember when Derek's sprite tutorial created a whole generation of animators that had the exact same flip jump. I'm excited about the tutorials and I believe this will revive a lot of interest in sprite animating.

And we're done with the first week of uploads!
Once again, if you have any questions let us know.

...bro just @ me next time :(

Chapter 3 is over!
From this point on, any other tutorials we make won't follow any specific schedule and will be uploaded when they're finished. We'll be covering topics like masking, debugging, rigging, and potentially perspectives. If there are any other things that you want to know about, just let us know on this thread or the Discord.

We're back with (most of) chapter 4!
4-1 Commands
4-2 Lighting
4-3 Masking
4-4 Perspectives
As stated in the last video, the last part will take a pretty long time as there are a ton of different things to cover there.
If you have any questions feel free to ask on this thread or ask any of the animation team in the Discord chat.
