April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

It's a very nice first animation, with a lot of detailed movement going on. However, a common mistake is that the movement looks a little to mechanical: The first thrust looks a bit like he's a machine slotting into place. If you make the animation itself slower, longer, and without the bump at the end, you'd have an excellent exploring movement. Also, if you give the gryphon's animations before the triple thrust a little more of a wind-up, make it a bit smoother overall, then it would look a lot more natural.
Hope this helps a little with future animations, I especially like the human male on female feral themes, excited to see more of you!

Memberim planning an animation with beakstuff next but have to tweak render settings and everything so that it doesnt take sabi 3 weeks to render it all. the gryphon model has so many details and particles that each frame of this took ten minutes to render. and theres 24 frames a second!
thanks for the criticisms. ill try make the next one look more fluid somehow. i was trying to have reactions be a direct result of his triple thrusts; i.e each thrust causes her crest to rise higher and ears flatten more etc but maybe its all too fast for that to be evident!

No no, those all came through quite well, it's the animations before the triple that are a bit too robotty

Memberif you'd like a point of praise the gryphon's facial expressions are super cute

MemberIt's not too big of a deal, but if you ever make another one, could you not cover the human character's face? Personally, I enjoy seeing the spiritual connection between them just as much as the physical connection.

Memberhaha to be honest hiding his face from this angle was very deliberate because animating human facial expressions is super super hard. If you see in my other stills, I only show his face in one, because getting a convincing facial expression is super hard. looks like commander ryder my face is tired up in here!
i will attempt it for my next animation and if it looks horrific ill include it as a bonus! :D

Memberit's really nice, only issue is its a bit stiff. Things like the wings moving and facial changes are very nice as well

BlockedBruh. Your first animation is better than my 100th. Nice job!
