#39 - Be careful when using Onion Skin in 2D Animation

Getting out of the Muddy stage.

This is the latest shot completed for the film! I'm really happy with how this ended up looking but there was a bit of a struggle to get there. I am not the fastest of painters and it often takes m...

Patreon Video - Episode 27 - 3D to 2D workflow

I hope this video covers some overviews of my process. I think some scenes are better to backwards engineer in these videos rather than following along as they are being made. Often there are a lot...

My 3D dudes in action!

So the 3D characters that I created in the last few videos have proven useful. Here is the first shot where they are implemented into the film.
