SO!

This little ad animation is coming along, this is the final timing for the animatic that'll be going out to the team members. I'm very much looking forward to how they handle this. Unfortunately everything else I'm doing has slowed this down a bit, but I'm picking up the pace again now and trying to get this all done! 😤

CONTENT WARNING: More help!?

Zenn is putting work on this one, really incredible work too and I love it! Can't wait to edit and composite these shots, now I better get my shots done too and stop watching these.

Here's an example of the customization

I don't know about you, but I've never seen bowser look like this. And this is how the piece will be customizable, or the original template can just be ordered too.

I'm planning to make a few examples like this, maybe two more and then a second variant for the template too. So there'll be two poses for each set of characters and two or three examples for each pose... so a good few drawings to do but it'll be fun!

Some help on this TEST Animation

Thankfully Zenn, one of the team members was free and able to contribute to the test animation by cleaning up these shots! Big shout out to Zenn!!

The SECRET To PERFECT Animation

Hope you're having a #blessed #weekend guys! I was thinking about how this little #trick helps me all the time, so I thought I'd share a #volume #control #tip for all you #animators out there. If you want more of these videos, let me know! And if you want me to give #tips on volume control in #illustration I can do that too, because they're very different but also the same... it's a little complicated. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your weekend! God bless! 🙏🏽✌🏽 #anime #animation #proce...

I mentioned this, BUT!

Here it is in video format. So if you're interested in something like this, definitely keep an eye out. And don't think this is just for romantic couples, could be for friends or any relationship duo. Check the Etsy soon!

ETSY STORE

CONTENT WARNING: The Test is ready for clean up

This took a little longer than it should have, because of current circumstances and struggles BUT, we're reaching the finish line now. Well, the finish line is in sight anyway.

I'm thinking of putting some tutorial content together, just looking at how to create pieces like this and maybe some actual action stuff too. We'll see what you guys are actually interested in though.

New Content and Store related things!

I won't go into too much detail, but I'm putting together a little series that will be added to my store (website and etsy) that will be customisable merch. How will they be customisable? Well, you'll have to wait and see! Here's a little preview of other images in the making for this series too;

Don't forget, keep an eye out for DISCOUNT CODES when these drop. They'...

Start with some introductions

The initial idea was to go with a bunch of photos of the different family members and friends, but that seemed to generic. So I came up with having the reaction all those character to seeing the photos. This seemed more fun to me, and a better way to use the advantages of animation. Not to mention these are the opening shots, and I wanted to have them be a bit more attention grabbing than just still images.

So this is planning for a lot of animation work, but it'll all be worth it in t...

Commissioned piece

This was a fun one, I had to do this at some crazy hours of the night in-between other works but it was fun, so I'd say it was worth it.

It's a piece of an OC, Sophie meeting her super hero boyfriend Falco, on the roof. Would love to draw more like this in future, so hope you guys like this look.

 Followed my usual methods, a choice between a few thumbnails and then a final delivery.

We reached the Final Dimension.

Finally made it to the end of this storyboard sequence. Now like I said before, time to go back to the beginning and fill in the missing shots. Can't wait to start animating this, but I'd like to approach it with care, so perhaps I'll do some colour direction concept sketches before diving in (I also have to do some character designs for reference too).

I guess it couldn't wait

I decided to just update you guys today instead. Here's the continuation with the adjusted shot, which is much more character focused over the action focused approach I took last time. And I think it fits much better now. And of course the boards were continued.

Funny thing is, we're drawing close to the end of the run-time, which wouldn't equal the 30 seconds I mentioned before. And that's just because I have skipped the intro cuts, and I'm going to go back after I've boarded to the e...

More dimension hoping

We're making headway with this, however... I'm not so sure about that wide action shot. I may go back and redo that, but that's all part of the process and that's why we storyboard! Lock down our best ideas, and make all the mistakes early so the final product can be the best it can be. So I'll update you again tomorrow on what I did next.

Family Dimension Hoping

Another small piece I'm putting together, which is honestly looking like it's gonna be a lot of fun! This is just the initial rough storyboard and it's unfinished. This is going to be around 30 seconds of high paced shots. I'm hoping this will be piece I can look back on and be proud of, as I'm not going to have to rush this as much as normal. Very exciting piece!

More on this TEST

We're getting closer to wrapping this up now and getting a result from the potential client. Let's see how this goes, either way, I'm having fun being able to actually take a little extra time and effort with this piece over my usual rushed works.

After I get the whole 10-11 secs tied down like this, I can go over it one last time with clean lines, ready for colour and editing (gotta squeeze in making the backgrounds at some point too, I am still on a tight deadline after all).

Super Villain Commission

A piece I was commissioned to do just the other day. Was a fun little piece and I got to play around with a whole heap of effects! Learning how far to push how much effects I can get away with... or maybe I could still push this further? 😏

 Here were the options I offered for this piece with these little 'thumbnail' sketches. Obviously the choice was clear, would you have chosen the same?

CONTENT WARNING: Violence & Gore

And I got to animating this, gotta get it done quickly! So more update coming your guys way very, VERY soon!

Storyboard is one step from done.

The team will get their hands on this really soon and you guys can start to see things coming together. The voice actors Jake and Fae have done an incredible job! I'm honestly blown away.

As you can see, originally this was 20 seconds or so but, thanks to their fantastic performances the timing has been adjusted, and it's way better.

CONTENT WARNING!! Blood and Gore

Working on a little animation test for a potentially larger project. Hopefully you guys will like this once it's done, and potentially the full project? We'll see how this goes.

Adding to the T-shirt

Something a little more complex that it seems actually, fun little piece I'm literally chipping at

Here's the first draft

This animation is going to be a lot of fun, and once the voice actors do their things, this will be retimed and I'll do another refinement / adjustment on this before breaking it up into part for the team to begin working on.

T-shirt design?

Yeah, I'm moving in all directions right now, and I'm thinking of turning this into a cool little t-shirt design. What do you guys think? Interesting?

Sascha and Sir Bronksson III

Designed for the last time, and we're currently working on a little animation of these characters. And I'm very excited for you guys to see it! (first time working with the team)

Completing the back-log

This one has been on the back burner for some time, but due to current circumstances, I have the time to get it wrapped up!! A blessing in disguise maybe? Either way, this has been a fun little project and you guys will get to see it very soon.

Making progress...

This is a fun one, the next time you see this it will be finished!

Putting together a team...

This is a shot from a storyboard, commissioned work, and I'm organising a team that can help me work on the actual 'animation' portion of this project! And if things work out, everything 'I' make will become what 'we' make and it'll be way better quality, and there'll be more of it.

So! Check out the tiers if you haven't already, because the support goes a long, long way to getting these team members to be able to work on these projects in the first place. You can be one of the first me...

What I'm doing today...

Guy's, you deserve more updates on what's coming up, so here's a little look into my day! I've been struggling to motivate myself to finish this one today, not because of the animation itself, but other life events.

All the clients I'm working with have failed to pay / disappeared / late payments yet to come so it's been a struggle. Almost like they all got together and planned this or something lool, I'm just joking but it feels like it.

Anyway, never mind that! How's thi...

Mirko doing leg week...

Another little workout video for you guys! And I'm getting much better with my understanding of 3D so hopefully I'll be able to start using it more and more 🙏🏽🥲 (same as before, right-click and loop for best viewing)

A Well Overdue update!

I'm hard at work guys, trying to get a bunch of stuff done and a two of those things are;

The Camera-man Never Dies

A One-shot, short story and the first chapter will be dropping very soon! Sometime in August;

The Camera-man Never Dies!

I'm still working on it guys, and it will be dropping here first, before anywhere else! I can't wait, I'm also trying to work out a few things so this can be produced faster but we'll see about all that
