Make Magic Miu WIP

Slowly chipping away! I wanted to give you guys an update once I finished cleanup on this shot, but I hated having to push it off--cleanup's almost done on this shot anyway haha. I ended up redoing...

Make Magic Arche WIP

Hey guys, sorry for my absence! I was out of town visiting family last week and I'm starting to work more on mental wellbeing. Tough work but someone's gotta do it! Anyway it's been hard for me to ...

Update 6-28

I currently don't have much to share right now as I've been struggling with burnout and mental health, but I'm hoping soon I'll be able to show you guys progress on Make Magic. Meanwhile all I've d...

Cimrai loop

And here is Cimrai's loop! We had hoped it would be done before the 6th, but with the extension on the intro short there was no way. Though I'll admit it was way more fun to work without a deadline...

Shot 15 breakdown

Had to break this one into 2 separate files and blend them together in After Effects. It was one of the more tedious shots and I would have loved to smooth over some of the animation and editing if...

Cimrai Intro Commission

And here's the full thing! Sound and music done by White Bat Audio.

Goes Public tomorrow--sorry I couldn't give you guys longer!

Shot_13

Apologies for the absence!! The crunch was real this week--fortunately I was able to get a deadline extension and my client was super understanding of some technical issues while rendering that add...

Cimrai Approved Simplified Design

//totally didn't get carried away animating this gal and forget to post

We are approaching the end of the month which means I have 6ish days to finish this project for my client. Fortunately ...

Shot 12

Cleaned up this shot yesterday! Consider it a preview of what's to come~

Cimrai Whip Crack Style Frame

One of two style frames for my client to give them a sense of what the final will look like. I have ~officially~ begun animation and I'm super hyped to be animating this character!

Update 5-3-2021

Hi guys! As some of you may have noticed, I've been a bit less actively lately--posting once a week instead of my preferred twice a week. Well, recently I have been commissioned by a client to prod...

Make Magic pt 1 [animatic]

I loved the song and, frankly, I have so many casting/magic adjacent characters and I'm thrilled to finally showcase them! I haven't found anyone using this song in an animation meme before, but I'...

Iroh shot 6-7

I don't believe I shared a finished version of this shot yet, have I? It's been a while since I've touched this project but I'd love to work with this character again. 

I also may or may...

Hypnotic FX exploration

Here's another preview of what I've been cooking up. Took a break from it this week to focus on pricing stuff, but I'm planning to get back on it this weekend!

Pause ft Pyrrho and Ranger (alternative)

I did two different versions of this meme, and I decided to publish the other version because every video I could find using the spiderman slap meme was age restricted. That just means you guys get...

Miu Tweening loop 01

I've been experimenting with tweening this week. Here's a small loop of one of the shots I've been working on! I'm new to this technique so this is a ride, but it's fun to see it come together.&nbs...

Miu dressing down

I'm playin around with this character design again! I know it's going to be tough to find some form of consistency, but I love the idea of having her markings change to match an outfit. It would be...

Pyrrho before and after

I know I've shared this shot already, but I haven't shown you guys Pyrrho pre editing vs post editing--makes a big difference! 

Also!!! Huge shoutout to my new patrons!! Your support mea...

2 Phut Hon Scraps

I had an unusually high amount of scrapped content this time around, thanks to me ~once again~ starting on animation before finishing my thumbnails/animatic, oops! I figured you guys would be inter...

2 Phut Hon | Animation Meme

It's finally done!! Let me know what yall think of this one--it was a love-hate relationship the entire time but I really like how it turned out. 

I'm also going to start adding a patron...

Pyrrho loop [cut]

Ah, bummer I had to cut this one! I'm going to see if I can squeeze it in at the end cause I want to start including a patreon shout-out card in my videos. 

I'm going to have the video p...

OUT_02

Here's another shot of this gal. I'm going to be trying to use more stills in this one so I can try to get this out before April. Fingers crossed!! 

Anyway, lately I've been tryin to fig...

Shot 2 sample

Apologies for the delay! Here is the reason for my inactivity. I love the markings but hoo boy

I'm cutting out some unnecessary loops so I can get this done faster--by the weekend if...

2021 Compositing reel

Hey guys! Took a quick detour when I found out the HelluvaBoss team was hiring compositors, so I spent most of today making this. I have no idea if they'll be interested, but I have some good befor...

2 Phut Hon IN_1

So I've decided not to share the animatic, and I came to this decision the night after my last update--I just wanted to wait to share some form of progress instead of giving the update in a text po...

2 phut hon loop

So, as you know, I've claimed my animatic would be shared by wednesday (yesterday), and yet it has still not been shared. Long story short, I hyperfixated on cleaning up my first loop instead of fi...

update 3-2-21

Just a heads up, I'm taking a break from Iroh at the moment. Now that I've finished what little character/hand drawn animation there is, I've significantly lost motivation to work on it. I don't ha...

Mood board character

I was in a rut for inspiration/motivation lately, so my friends and I designed mood boards, exchanged them, and designed characters based on them. Not gonna lie, I seriously love how this turned ou...

Iroh shot 6 [snapshot]

A still from shot 6--it's so exciting to see the visuals that I've had in my head for ages finally take shape! 

Night Drive (wip?)

I'm trying to pull myself away from this and focus on other shots--I don't need to polish it completely right now! 

Zoe's still missing a seatbelt, and the shading on the seat and steeri...
