Years ago @animturnbull made a really cool "run loop" animation that inspired me to make something similar. It's not exactly where I'd have liked it to be, but for closure's sake, I need to just call this one done and move on!

GANDALF: do NOT touch the palantír PIPPIN:

A quick jump animation using the Donatello rig again. Hoping to build a full anim set for this guy to set up in engine. I'll be aiming for a responsive game-feel, so I kept this jump pretty snappy. Rig by @KielFiggins

It's all complete and you can read it here! 😊

Do you like medieval fantasy comic stories? Wizards too, maybe? I've started slowly dropping my short story over here should you be interested in checking it out! It'll only be about 15 pages long. But I hope it's a good time! #webcomic #oc #indiecomics wessenblydeweather.wixsite.com/wessenblydewea…

Today's the day! I'll be dropping 3 pages of my experimental short story weekly, possibly bi-weekly due to its small size. But if you'd prefer a site for viewing and a bit more info on the project, You can find the website link in my insta bio 😊 I hope you enjoy! Let's begin.

#wolfking dropped last week Thursday! I had the great privilege of designing alot of the creatures for this show! Werelord versions and some characters. Did a tiny bit of storyboarding and the Colourscripts! Was a great time with some amazing fellow artists.

Our feature artist/tutorial today was d this SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL animation of HAIR in the WIND, by the talented @FranVanWulfen! With a few short frames we get such great KEYFRAMES of how the hair moves both IN WAVES and as a SINGLE “SHEET”!INVALUABLE REFERENCE! #anime #manga #DRAW

Just found out about this short fan film about the 212th Battalion and imma need y'all to check this out (Src: youtube.com/watch?v=X9q_HD…)

I wanted to block out a simple mechanics exercise but it ended up turning into this lol. Also if anyone has tips for animating to camera they would be much appreciated! It’s been awhile since Ive had to animate to one. 😅 #animation #animation3d #animator #WIP #wipart #wip

I put one of my characters in Unreal, and now I'm slowly adding more and more animation. There's still a lot of gaps to be filled, but overall I'm surprised how well this rig works in game. I started adding behaviors like looking at the cubes when he's near, and sticking to the…

Another week another @wickedgame anim😀 Meet Bruiser Back Attack. Biggest challenge in gameplay animation for heavy chars. Finding the right balance between speed and weight. Basically the eternal battle between animation and design :D Enjoy! ⚔️🛡️ #animation #gamedevs

It's been 5 years since I started working in the industry! I made a progress reel of the last 5 years. It's been a lot of fun so far 🎈 My poses are often messy and I haven't animated much animations with heavy weight, so those are some things to improve in the next few years

Another older practice test using the Colin rig from @bomperstudio . #cinema4d #CharacterAnimator #C4D

A sketch of my Paladin for Baldurs gate 3 because there's just something about doing some good radiant smiting. #BaldursGate3 #larianstudios #paladin

When you've got devilsight advantage in the darkness and you have some sweet smites lined up 🤌 Some Baldurs Gate 3 Tav paladin indulgence. #BaldursGate3 #tav #fanart

This drawing by Ian Higginbotham inspired me to sculpt, animate the scene and put some SFX on it (music: 7 Samurai). This time it took me a while. Blender 4.1, Cycles. Krita for the blood spray.

in SF i had a friend (@finespline00) who was an animator for movies/games - happy feet, iron man 2 et al he wanted to stream so i pitched 'play league but also make new animations out of league characters' when i watched i was confused why it took so long. it looked done.. 🧵

Just drawing #BaldurGate3fanart for my Paladin, Lysander. Twas a good time. #larianstudios #BG3

artstation.com/artwork/lDlVrY You can now read the whole of Coronach on artstation too. This little fantasy comic tale was very much inspired by the ' O willow waly' cover by @KarlieneMusic and 'Siuil a Ruin' cover by Ella Roberts if you're looking for good musical mood setters 😊
