There's something creepy about the polygonal art style, and I absolutely love it. Plus the fact that the farmers animation still seems to remain whimsy and like something you would see on Saturday morning cartoons, its just overall a really nice blend of the two.

[@lucy-gj8lj]

usually when trying to make something unsettling/evil, artists use sharp edges, cause that makes the human mind feel cautious and think, "maybe i shouldn't touch this" my art style is mostly curved and is trying to give off, "hey, im friendly!" to the viewer sorry if im not good at explaining, but i think i got the point down

@@flohwalzer It's a term that musicians use regarding the placement of their fingers on an instrument, although it might also encompass movement as in the case with trills. On the flute, the note, "B" is left index, thumb, and right pinky, while "Bb" is left index, thumb, right index, and right pinky. Different fingerings. I don't have any violin examples since I don't play the violin, however.

A thing I noticed was that at the end, the specific rabbit from the beginning is leading the charge and is also the one to bite Hat on the arm.

I’m both a violinist and an animator, and I’ve got to say that is the best violin animation i have ever seen. The parts where the bow gains friction and slows, and where it speeds up again matches up with the timbre of the audio. Brilliant video.

[@its.Bibuncreate]

yea most of the time animations with musicial things are incorrect, like take "The Cuphead show!" for ex, when cuphead was playing the piano [i forget which episode] he plays a song, but it was incorrect. either animators need to learn how to animate pianos, violins, etc etc or they can just stop. good to know some know how to animate musical interuments. heres a vid which explains what i mean:kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIPEen5-e9Zmndk

I love this animation, it reminded me a lot of my late pet rabbit koyoi and how the bastard was smarter than he looked, he knew when i went to sleep so that he could try to munch on my hair or cardboard, i still remember him kicking the air whenever i would wake up and stop him, i miss him. Rabbits would 100% do something like this if theyre as expressive (and somewhat violent) as Koyoi was

[@lysfranc8782]

Rabbits are something else… I knew a rabbit named Nugget who lived in the garden of some friends. The little b*stard knew when we were looking for him and recognize his name. His game was to try to surprise people who were searching for him by sneaking behind them. He was also trying to mate with the family cat who was also a male… 😅
