 *Stayin' Alive music starts playing*

I threw together this walk cycle to test the textures and rigging of the rig that I built for https://twitter.com/Adler_the_Eagle . I think I can officially call this rig done. 

ANIMATION - Into Fire

 Another sneak peek at the animation for The Rhino and the Redbill, now fully funded on kickstarter!

The animation for The Rhino and the Redbill combines 2D and 3D elements to create an animated style influenced by Samurai Jack and Into the Spiderverse.

Suspended Tiers

Hi everyone,

Just to follow up with my announcement earlier this month, I wanted to remind everyone about the changes being made to this Patreon page. Because of some changes going on in my life I won't be able to offer the exclusive rewards that I usually provide for the time being. Henceforth I have done away with the reward tiers and made this patreon more into a tip jar. I may change things back in the future depending on how things go, but for now this page will just hav...

ANIMATION - Strangers in the Mist

More sneak previews of some compositing tests. 

ANIMATION - Living on the Edge

More previews... previews of a full trailer coming soon, maybe?

Patron's Pick - Better Days at Springwater Beach

Hey everyone, it's time for this month's patron's pick animation, where you help decide the content I draw/animate. This month people voted on a summer picture for Red and Niles. A pool party was suggested, but for their world I felt a day at the beach would fit a bit better. 

Thanks again to everyone who participated, your support is greatly appreciated :) 

ANIMATION - Wrong Turn Taken

Another sneak peek at some of the rendering work from my next short!

ANIMATION - View Through the Fumes

More sneak peeks at the development of my background paintings, with lighting that screams "totally not the villain".

ANIMATION - Rusted Jungle

Hit a milestone today, I finally got to see Niles and Red in their first fully composited shot. It feels so good to see these guys in a fully realised world, and I'm excited to do more of these.  

ANIMATION - Boop!

Boop!

ANIMATION - Soon...

But what could "soon" be referring too?

ANIMATION - What's This?

Seeing the phrase"OWO What's This?" online always activates my fight or flight instinct, so I personified it into a horror movie monster,

This is the worst idea I've ever had and I'm excited to see what new lows I can reach. 

Patron's Pick - Rolo's Diet

Here's Rolo, the voted on illustration for this month. I was going to do an animation, but I've already got plenty of animations with him coming up so I decided to do a painting instead. More stuff to come! Thanks again for voting!

ANIMATION - Rolo Keeps Clean

Some people expressed concern with the last animation that Rolo wasn't as clean as he could be, and I want to reassure everyone that he is a classy and hygienic individual.

ANIMATION - No Laughing Matter

More test renders from an upcoming project!

ANIMATION - Niles Makes the Scene

Here's one of my first acting test with Niles, appearing in his first shot.

Patron's Pick - Toxtricity

Here's the illustration for this month's Patron's Pic. The prompt this month was Toxtricity. Thanks again for your support everyone!

ANIMATION - Wing Acting

Building Red's wings was one of the biggest animation challenges I've ever taken on, and this was one of my first attempts at using them for acting. I'm glad to see it transitions well from a more wing-link stance to hand-shaped poses. 

ANIMATION - Head Banger

More behind the scenes looks at an animation work in progress

ANIMATION - Redford Dialogue Test

I'm doing some work on an upcoming short, ad this is my first render test on a dialogue scene. I should have the clip with audio up later this month.

Another animation from a short I'm working on. Sorry updates have been so slow, I promise I've got a lot of big and exciting things coming!

ANIMATION WIP - Escape the Woods

Another behind the scenes look at an animation I'm working on.

Patron's Pick - Miles in the Spiderverse

Hey everyone, here is the drawing for this months Patron's Pick, as chosen by you. Miles was the winning character prompt. I started with a simple character drawing, and it was supposed to be just one character, but I wanted to throw Oliva in there to create a bit more drama. Then I got carried away and put Peter and Gwen in too just to help frame the composition. 

If you have any suggestions for next months drawing/animation feel free to leave a comment or shoot me a message.

ANIMATION WIP - Worlds Collide

Some more work in progress development from an animation I'm working on.  Full short coming soon :)
