LogInSeter MD, a 2D Animator and master of After Effects, continues to impress the entire 80 Level team – despite our general inclination toward 3D art – while studying an entirely new software, presenting a gorgeous angel wings 2D rig set up with Spine, an animation tool designed specifically for 2D game animation.
Incredibly fluid and responsive, the rig still contains what Seter describes as a "catastrophic mistake," with each wing consisting of two separate skeletons, making it impossible to parent them to the character. Planning to move all the layers of one wing to the other and rig one from scratch, the artist reminds us all that mistakes are an integral part of the learning curve and inevitable on the path to mastery, offering not just a majestic visual but also a motivational lesson in growth.
Previously, Seter also demonstrated a fantastic pixel art black hole effect, a recreation of Star Children from Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle, an almost 1-to-1 recreation of the flame-breathing effect from Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer), and a 2D comet animation, all made in After Effects. You can check out all of these projects and more by visiting the artist's Twitter page.
