quiet disturbance || animation practice

This is just some animation practice! I had already started it in Procreate a few weeks back, but with Procreate Dreams out now, I wanted to try to finish it up in the new program and do some experimentation. How do you think it turned out?

Everyone’s favorite emo cat!❤

[@WaitWhat_YT]

emo cat!!!

[@cafetomedragongrimborncdg1406]

He stressed He relaxed He surprised He has calmed But most importantly he is cute

[@sooshwa4180]

I love the attention to detail! It's rare to see someone animate the subtle breathing movements, it's a great addition, making it look extra lifelike, especially when he stops after he gets alerted like he's holding his breath.

[@MoonBer]

Them crows really gave that dude PTSD. Feel so sorry for the adorable cat. And I really can't wait for some more lore around him and the other. Keep up the good work

[@paxet.]

Woah what an major jump in animation, it looks so good!! The added movement of the camera and addition of the crow calling specifically is such a good touch. ^^

[@elisa7640]

the way he holds his breath after hearing the crow and only breathing again once he relaxed... such an impressive detail

[@Mayaas45]

HOW HE STOPPED BREATHING WHEN HE GOT FOCUSED!!!!! RILEY YOURE GOING TO KILL US!!

[@BlizzardIceDragon]

That sudden pupil dilation and subtle change in body language when he hears the crow cawing looks so natural, and the head turning is so smooth!! It really looks like I'm watching a real cat, this is awesome!

[@BrookeAndCoStudios]

The breathing is SO GOOD

[@nyx6360]

I like how his breathing stops briefly when hes startled, its very accurate to how your breath catches when your tense or scared.

[@skul-e9130]

This looks fantastic!! Love the pacing of their movement

[@russetfoxfur7915]

how is this so catlike though…. stellar animation as always

[@_kaleido]

this looks great! I love how you even animated the breathing

[@Animals4_life]

I love this its just so smooth! This is also amazing art and detail. You are very skilled!❤

[@tiredSleepyBye]

Mudpaw should meet Zuko or Todoroki/Dabi.

[@ahaahbahoo1821]

the detail of him being spooked by crows is ironic i love it, since those birds were usually in the vids with de lore on him❤❤

[@-Pearldragon-]

Every time you post, I regain my will to live.

[@c0rvids_]

THE BOY!!

[@lilythearcticfox]

I like how you can see him breathing! -Also, he's so pretty I thought he was a she cat-

[@Norsq_]

smooth and soooo well made!!

[@ebentaylor]

the subtle character animation is BEAUTIFUL and so expressive!

[@MaxJokerUA]

Im really suprised of the animation, i adore it!! Goodluck on any next projects you're planning to make! ^^

[@thundergrowl]

wow, that looks really good!

[@alluringanimations]

Ahhh!! So smooth and the emotions are perfect!!! I would love to see a whole show just off of your ocs because I love them so much lol

[@DarkSakuraBlade1]

WAKE UP EVERYONE THE QUEEN HAS POSTED

GORGEOUSS!!

[@thenexttangle8568]

Poor kitty, still spooked by his deeds

[@user-tx2gs5iu7f]

Прошу сделайте поскорее продолжение😢..... Мне ооочень понравилось!❤

[@lieutenantgremlin8787]

wait, the crow that we heard. is that like a shot to the animation of the garden you made? is that why he got surprised? feel like mud'paw see's crows now differently

[@Chalkeater98]

Bruh why do you fear the birds you’re the one that scares them lol

[@Vivi-Xing]

You have improved a lot! Question, what did you think of Procreate dreams? I am just asking because I am considering getting it

[@RileyG]

It’s definitely been a learning curve for me lol, but once I got a grasp on how things worked, it felt really natural! The only downsides are that 1) the drawing tools aren’t quite as good as baseline procreate (no lasso tool for example, which sucks) and 2) the program did occasionally crash when trying to load too many assets. Thankfully Dreams auto-saves all the time so I never lost any progress! I’d say, if you’re on the fence, watch a few tutorials and see if you think it’d be a good fit for you!

[@Vivi-Xing]

@@RileyG I just got it! And yeah there is definitely a learning curve. I am probably going to watch a tutorial when I can! (Also the lack of lasso tool does annoy me lol)

[@leopardnight5551]

Hello, we have a question. Where can I find the full story about this OC? I watched "Garden" and came to the conclusion that it must be a comic or fanfiction, because it is brilliant. So where can I find the full story?

[@RileyG]

Aaa I'm so glad you like the story!! It doesn't have a comic or written version, I'm just telling the story through PMVs/animatics here on my channel, but if you want to find extra story bits/worldbuilding or ask any questions, I have a tumblr blog at @rileys-battlecats where I post lots of extra stuff about Mudpaw and his story!

[@leopardnight5551]

@@RileyG Thank you very much for your answer 😊❤️ I will definitely check out the blog

[@phil_h14]

I'm so sorry this is lovely and all but I read the title as quiet masturbation and I felt I needed to share this.

[@RileyG]

phil this is information you did not need to share with the class
