Hello everyone and THANK YOU for your support this October, and also generally!!!
I've been informed this is the "frightening month", so I have a thematically appropriate paper animation for...
Donkball is a game where you throw your body parts at someone. (NOT recommended unless you are made of Donks!!!!!!)
These two gifs are from an energetic exchange between two donk entities- b...
Introducing the worst character so far: Stairs Donk!
The only thing that makes Stairs Donk a character and not just stairs is the addition of some eyeballs, which directly interfere with the...
Hello all and THANK YOU for your support this September!!! And happy Spring or Autumn, depending on your hemisphere!
Speaking of HEMISPHERES, here's a tiny planet that I animated all wrong, ...
Hello all!
I haven't really shown much behind-the-scenes stuff when it comes to the music and audio side of my projects. But music is a pretty key part of Donks, so I thought I should sh...
A little clip from the film- sort of!
In the film there is only one worm, and it doesn't loop, and the singular worm does not have its own special worm theme music.
But for the sake of th...
Always adapting, donk critters need special legs to navigate an environment made of their own body parts

Hello hey hi and THANK YOU, to patrons old and new!!
Thanks to your support, progress continues to continue on my upcoming film DONKS, which I'm excited and impatient for you all to see!
...
I hadn't realised that "going inside a mountain with a face" is a scenario I've already animated twice, until immediately after animating it a third time. In we go, once more!

The film is getting a little bit windy in this shot, and donks are blowing everywhere!!!
Or they will be at least. I haven't made the donks blowing everywhere yet, just this character doing ...
Some GIFs, of the next phase in donk evolution! The donks are joining together to create more complex forms, with articulate donk faces.
I hadn't quite expected faces made out of piles of do...
Another donk character. There's a lot of them and they keep changing! This one pecks and has too many feet. More details to come.

Hello all, and happy middle of the year!!! Hope you all had a nice winter or summer solstice, depending on your hemisphere of residence. Here it's winter, and I'm animating in a garage wearing pyja...

Like most of the shots in this film, I'm not sure how to describe what's happening here.
Where do those eyeballs think they're going???
Hello all you lot!!!! Here is this month's paper animation, of a morphing face! Each facial feature becomes the next one in a big loop- so each feature gets a turn being the horrible screaming mout...

I'm partway through a sequence of characters dangling from chains (like this idiot here), and I'm animating them using a technique I've never used before- The Adobe Animate "parenting tool".
Hello all!!! A huge big thank you to patrons old and new for supporting me this fine June.
Normally at the beginning of the month, I post a drawing or paper animation on here that I've made ...
Some caterpillar type thing! There's some caterpillar type thing in just about everything I make, and it's usually my favourite bit. I'm a man of simple pleasures- and that pleasure is caterpillars...

Your next friend is being assembled! Still needs a few more bits though I reckon.
All the work-in-progress for this project looks like nonsense I know, but I assure you that in the film it w...

HELLO and happy May!!! Thank you to patrons old and...
Just a pair of friends who are comprised of donks, hanging out and doing nothing in particular. There's not much else to say on the matter, so I better go animate them doing something else!

Hello everyone! So the film I'm making is now far enough into production that I'm ready to put out a teaser trailer. By "ready" I mean I've got enough footage to edit something together without giv...

They walk! They wobble! Where are they wobbling off to?
The individual frames of this paper animation are also the Pen Pal drawings for this month, so I'll be wobbling them off to the post o...
The donk characters are beginning to get more elaborate, and with that, the predominant style of this film is finally starting to reveal itself! After months of stumbling my way through basic 3D mo...

...and yet, it's what they do! This will all sound like nonsense if you haven't read my previous posts about this project (sorry), but my donks are now alive, and all their latent animation potenti...

Hello all you lovely people!!!
Thanks so much to patrons old and new for your support. I hope you're all safe and well!
Here is my first paper animation in a while- and without a doub...
More donk progress!
This short clip removed from context functions as a self portrait, of me cramming my misshapen 2-dimensional body into 3D animation, in the most awkward way possible.

Hey everyone, just a little update of some shiny eyeballs!
This is a character that you never get to see out of the shadows, and I thought rather than making some classic cartoony eyeballs f...
