Behold my (updated) 2D animation showreel!

And here's a proper snippet from the current animatic.

I drew some quick placeholders for the animatic of my next project since the currently roughed animation was in a different file. Oh yeah, it's also based on FNAF.

The Fazband, featuring a coked up Monty.

It's probably not a good thing that I'm trying to push myself to have an all-encompassing life-ruining work ethic but tbh what else am I gonna do with all this time? I know I'm capable of pushing myself harder, so why wouldn't I?

Healer: Thank you for assisting. Again, I must stress that treatment for a wound of this magnitude requires the utmost care. Can I trust you to follow these instructions to the letter? The kobold who stopped listening 20 minutes ago:

Already rushing onto the Halloween project, though me and my ambitions mean it probably won't hit the deadline. Got this neat wip shot to show so far though!

Microwave Dinner ------- Two friends meet up for dinner, and are served by a very peculiar waitress. ------- #animation #2danimation #oc #originalcharacter

I was going to post a preview of the intro today, but it turns out I somehow broke some of the layers in the latest render, so this screenshot is gonna have to do.

Something must be wrong with the microwave, the lights tend to blink a lot.

Oh yeah going through wips at the minute but I'm bringing back the microwave for a project.

I'm working on real projects. trust.

Key met Themberchaud in a recent session. I animated one of their interactions.

Behold my (updated) 2D animation showreel!

I'm looking to drastically up the amount of animations I'm making (due in no small part to a certain upcoming holiday), so I'm expecting showreel update posts to become more frequent!

I can't believe it's October already. The deadline's getting nearer everyday.

You know what I'm kinda glad I procrastinated on this Deadlock artwork thanks to the update making the background outdated

You know I actually hadn't heard this Rem quote before I drew this, so I did a rough animation of it.

Rem and Ivy. ------- Inspired by a screenshot I took after a friend paused the exact second a match started. ------- #deadlock #ivy #rem #valve #deadlockfanart #fanart #digitalart

Oh yeah going through wips at the minute but I'm bringing back the microwave for a project.

Oh, I forgot I had a whole ass story just collecting dust. I might post that in a day or two.

Did a redraw based on Ashleigh's first design for a post on twitter, been a while since I saw the original. I drew that one in 2018, before I had drawn anything more complex than simple human heads.

It took time, but I learned how to draw snouts eventually.

It's always interesting to me whenever I see people post the Despicable Me gif on my work, considering I've never posted any nsfw art. Are they posting it and moving on, hoping they got it right? Or are they reserving their comment in case it becomes true in the future? Much to think about.

This week kinda sucks but I have these snake roughs if they're worth anything.

Sweet Rem... -DEFEND THE STRONGHOLD!

Opened up a Deadlock wip and was pleasantly surprised with this incredibly rough sketch of Rem.

I'm glad I got this done... and kinda not much else? I don't really know what I'm trying to say with this comic, I wrote it from the middle pages outward and it kind of ends on nothing.

I'm glad I'm making more stuff with these guys, but I'll be even more glad when I make new stuff, and I'm a better writer.

I need to get back into a more positive mindset and start finishing personal projects because I'm excited to and not because they feel like obligations by the end.

I don't normally like saying thoughts like this out loud but maybe by doing so it will lead to a positive outcome over time? Who knows. Motivation is a really frustrating car to start.

Lore time. This one revolves around the dragon sisters and their living situations. Does this incredibly specific circumstance hold up in real-world law? Who cares, it's fiction and it fits the story I'm trying to tell.

Some more fun lore, this time revolving around Ashleigh and dragons!

Also! That other comic I've been making is mostly done. Just figuring out formatting for certain sites and lining and colouring the last page and a bit. The whole project took a lot longer than I'd thought, I plan to upload it sometime before wednesday.

Hearing that A24 didn't consult the SCP Wiki... at all? Just completely disregarding that the rights for a massive creative project might be different from an anonymous 4chan post before greenlighting a movie?

Someone's definitely getting fired, or at least seriously reprimanded. (In a fictional world where corporations hold themselves accountable for fuckups.)

10 Sept

Made a rough animation of my never-played Thri-Kreen, Kri-Thiks. Because she spends a lot of time around other races, she uses her hands to emote with her eyes since she has no eyelids.

new comic wip I made for absolutely no reason

6 Sept

Found and drew some more sketches of this genius(???) kobold.

Clearly this one stopped short because I peaked at detective Key

Vyper Deadlock absolute nothing animation

Jesus I have so many sketchbooks that are just half-filled. How the hell did I only get halfway through them and just end up buying new ones???

Rough Sangheili animation. Getting some sort of animation practice in between drawing the comic. #halo #animation #roughanimation

4 Sept

Trying to do some practice with values using Ivy's gloat Icon and it's going pretty meh... I don't hate it, it's readable, but I've clearly got a long way to go.

The look Apollo gives when he's considering going 0/15 and hitting exactly 2 ripostes. #deadlock #sketch

(I'm that Apollo. Sorry.)

I just got a job rejection, should've stayed in bed

I've found a solution to my poor sleep habits. Simply put - I don't sleep, and drag myself out of bed at 8 to larp having a normal schedule. Morning everyone!
