Description And the roller rolled on and on, squashing Leslie flatter and flatter with each pass.
Who knows what she'll look like when she finally comes to a stop?

===

Ahh! I had so much fun with this one

I was actually working on another piece when this idea hit me. And not just conceptually too, but mechanically. I've been trying to figure out ways to get my models to mold and bend to different shapes of objects (like the cylindrical roller here), and I finally figured something out

So I immediately dropped everything and did this. I just had to try out my new idea!
A little model posing, GIF animating, and a sprinkle of this new method of flattening to shapes, and this is the result!
I also tried to go for a smoother GIF animation this time

Hope you guys like it!

Update: This has quickly become my most favorited piece. Way to go Lesie!Β Β

I actually have a couple of animations featuring Peach already, like the Peach Record one, or the one where Daisy and Rosalina are squashing her with a hammer.

Yeah I saw those. It was the roller or underfoot scenario that I was interested in specifically, though. Keep up the good work.

I DO have a few more animations planned to be coming up soon. One of them will be featuring Peach. I can't say any more about it right now, but I think you might like it actually

Squigglybob In reply to DepthDropper [2014-11-27 19:55:40 +0000 UTC]

That's pretty cool. The thing I find that make the best animations are the ones that seem like they go on without a break, very much like the roller and very much unlike Daisy getting runover. The roller scenario almost seems more realistic (as realistic as it can be) because it feels like she just keeps rolling and keeps getting flatter, but the runover example is an obvious 5 second loop and that loses its continuity and therefore value in my humble opinion. Just my two cents.

That's fair. I typically like to only go out of the way to make it an animation if it loops too. Otherwise I do it in a comic style. The Run Down Daisy one was an exception since it was a remake of an already existing animation

Nice. I really like this roller one though. I love seeing her get squashed over and over again, her expression is perfect too. <3 would love to see what she looks like when it finally stops. Probably permanently pressed to the surface. hehe <3

DepthDropper In reply to Squigglybob [2014-11-28 01:21:40 +0000 UTC]

Hahah glad you like it! She'd probably be spread out across the entire roller, so thin that she's see through X3

Good animation, i'd ike to see Morrigan like this though XD

I might do something like this for her too

Now this is really awesome. I do like the shading of the side of the roller.
Make it a tiny bit shade darker to see the roller in motion.
The flashing of the ground looks pretty good.

I honestly didn't even edit the side texture of the roller on the basis that I thought it looked good enough. It's the exact same roller used in all of my other pics.

Neat. You are one of only a couple artists that canΒ 
do a decent animated person flattened on a roller.

Here's one GIF that I downloaded from a Yahoo Group many
years ago, and is now in my Sta.sh. sta.sh/0hlppy77p8i

That's why I liked how you did your GIF.

Really great!Β  Β 

Definitely would love to see the other girls get flattened this way.

DepthDropper In reply to erohato [2014-07-15 18:32:48 +0000 UTC]

I'll certainly consider flattening other girls like this too. Depends on who it is, and I have some other pieces I still wanna upload, but this idea was so much fun that I'll likely come back to it at some point

Glad to hear that.

Looking forward to those other pieces too.

This is a very nice GIF! Are you planning to make a picture of this though?

DepthDropper In reply to mpasswordm [2014-07-15 18:31:51 +0000 UTC]

I could easily do that, but which frame should I upload as a still? Where she's facing us?
And thanks

That would be the best one.

DepthDropper In reply to mpasswordm [2014-07-16 06:36:46 +0000 UTC]

I could upload the one I used as a thumbnail as a still. Look good?

mpasswordm In reply to DepthDropper [2014-07-16 10:50:41 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I think that's the best scene for a picture

Alright, I'll upload it as a still then.
