June Snapshot #1

Greetings everyone! 

Since its the first day of Pride month I've decided to throw together a little extra content for the posting. I had a dream the other day involving a wolf and bun so I decided to try out a different software tool to block out segments of the idea in one scene. Its not the complete idea but it was an interesting foray into the format as far as the software capabilities were concerned. I've attached the Krita file in case you're curious about the animation cels, ...

May Snapshot #6

Greetings again! I've been having a res-put with my animating lately to enjoy some of the free time I tend to have between projects before picking up on where I left off. However, I have had the privilege of helping someone I know develop their character a bit, mainly as rough sketches and concepts for preliminary work but it was fun to foster some personality and explore what theirs might look like. I've also had fun sketching out a few scenarios just to adapt the character's personality int...

May Snapshot #5

Welcome back to this week's open studio post! I've been doing a lot of scribbling with paper and pencil lately. Been feeling very refreshing to sketch on the go. I added in a few older pieces that haven't been shown before so, enjoy!

May Snapshot #4

Welcome back to this week's production snapshot! Here's the footage developed for the active projects I have going on in the past 5 days. Note that some of the footage may have been previewed before so the difference is the use of in-betweens to 'smooth' out the movements. Enjoy!

May Snapshot #3

Decided, in addition to some sketches earlier in the week, to make my life drawing sessions a bit more unconventional this time around. Mostly focused on form and posture before deciding what sona fit each model (I def need to study avian species more often). Although I was a bit short on time for a fully fleshed out life drawing session I thought these passes did some justice to exploring the idea.

May Snapshot #2

Apologies for the delayed posting! Its been a more relaxing weekend than I had anticipated so I've enjoyed it for what it had to offer. Here's what's been animated in the past week. I anticipate concluding both projects fairly soon (something in the ballpark of a few weeks assuming everything goes smoothly) so I'll be keeping you all posted on the platform's release once its ready. Still... there is more work to do so until then enjoy the sample! :3

May Snapshot #1

Greetings :3 Here's a few sketches creative & structural that I blocked out during the weekend and start of the week. Mostly playing around with various character ideas, doodles and life drawing (I've been getting lax about it in the past few months so I'm hoping to make it a regular thing again.)

April Snapshot #6

Hey everyone! I'll be away this weekend for cons and events but here's this week's sample of the progress in some of the ongoing projects! 

April Snapshot #5

Hey hey! Its King's day here in the Netherlands so my schedule has been shuffled around a bit to accommodate the music and activities in town. 

That aside, I'm coming at you with some sketches from the weekend I did with a fellow artist exploring what Witte would look like as different species from the illustrious bun. Its was a bit of an open-ended creative session offering each other three choices in species and building on any one of them as we went, I usually keep this quick an...

April Snapshot #4

Greetings and happy Saturday!

Here's the production progression in the animated projects I have going so far, I've settled in on a 15 frames per day ratio which has a mixed success (generally the issue being time allotted [as always :P], something I'm still working to iron out regardless). Next week I'll be working on inbetweening these to smooth them out for final cut. Enjoy!

April Snapshot #3

Greetings! Since I've had to shuffle my life drawing session around, I thought I'd kick off the 'Open Studio' posts with some various sketches and projects I had going on in the background. 

Mainly the focus behind most of these were characters and designs. I also threw in some very rough sketches that didn't make it past conceptual stages just to show you what that can look like sometimes. 

Often sketches that don't move past that stage offer me a glimpse on what works ...

April Snapshot #2 + Format Changes

Hey Everyone! 

In an effort to be more proactive and experimental with various platforms I want to start by making changes to the way I go about my Patreon. So as most of you know, I tend to post bi-weekly development snapshots covering most of the work I've been engaged with for the prior two weeks. That will be reformulated into two posts a week, one on Wednesdays dubbed 'open studio' posts and ones on Saturday for 'development' posts. The open studio posts will cover everything ...

April Snapshot #1

Greetings everyone! Since I'm in the midst of inbetweening cels for all the animation projects there won't be too much to share this week.

Of course this gives me an opportunity to canvas ideas and formats that I can explore since I'm not quite sure what the best approach to presenting my development to you all in this format might be. I've looked around and observed other creators. I think, what I'd like to aim for is content that is appealing to check out, smaller in size but as I pos...

March Snapshot #2

Greetings viewers!

Here's been some of the progress in the past week with the dailies, in addition, I've been keeping on top of a generous amount of sketching as well - some are lewd some more constructive analysis. Either way its been good fun. 

Since this week marks the major milestone of both projects reaching 50% completion I'll be focusing my efforts to completing the in-betweens until their respective releases. I don't plan on releasing more dailies involving the in-bet...

March Snapshot #1 + Commissions Adjustment

Greetings everyone! This past week has been a flurry of work on breaking down shots further into more fluid movement sequences before I begin the line work and in-betweening. As such, here is this week's dailies of the works so far. Note these are still WIP sequences so timing and other aspects are prone to adjustments.

In other news I've been getting a few requests to design animated avatars and other smaller web-appropriate content (Discord servers, various user account avatars, etc.)...

February Snapshot #2 + 'Productive Member' post mortem

Greetings everyone! I hope you've had a lovely February!

Now that the latest project has been published let's dive into some of the postmortem notes on how things went!

So being the biggest project to date my first main concern was upload size. The previous project I did ended up being around 17mb which was well over the upload limit to many sites as a gif. With this one I decided to keep the 480p resolution for file size compatibility, its worth mentioning that this will be the l...

February Snapshot #1

A fine February to you all! 

I've been diligently working through projects and I've reached a milestone in the completion of principal animation for one of these aforementioned projects. This means that upon release I'll be able to focus more time each week on the two other projects and accelerate their development than where its been at as far as the pace of progress. 

I've wanted to test out the workload by taking on 3 projects at once but I've found that its divided u...

January Snapshot #2 + Reflections

Greetings and welcome back to my second January snapshot postings!

Since December I've been prototyping several changes to refine my workflow. I wanted to identify the challenges I face when producing animations and what ideas I can use to combat this - its been a pretty successful workflow model that I've used over 4-6 month periods in my studies. 

The main problem statement I'm tackling right now is that animations take a fair bit of time, if you're familiar with the projec...

January Snapshot #1

Happy new year everyone!

As one would expect the holiday festivities did get kinda crazy trying to catch up on some animating, thus its been slow going with the festive revelries. 

That said though, I have been exploring some new tricks with the animation process by 'blocking' out shots with rough outlines of the characters, this gives me the flexibility to get a little messy and play around with the lines in a way that would make them feel more natural when I clean it up for...

December Snapshot #2: Holiday Special

Hey everyone, hope you are all well and safe! 

While I'm still undergoing the structural animation work for my two most recent projects I thought I'd take a break and post a special impromptu collection of sketches. I often don't share most of what I scratch out but seeing as how its the holidays and those around me have been the source of inspiration, I thought I'd give back a little. 

While some of these will be posted various places the special benefit you guys get to...

December Snapshot #1

Alright! So updating from developments since the last update I have been working diligently with two new clients on their leicas. I haven't really found a good presentation formula for this platform regarding them just yet but I thought in the mean time I would give away some sneak peak shots of the sequences as they develop. These screenshots are strictly story panel sketches and won't be used for the cels themselves. As mentioned before they are just used to present the framing and pacing o...

November Snapshot + 'Rodeo Queen' post mortem

Hey everyone, happy holidays to those of you who happen to celebrate Thanksgiving, I certainly enjoyed my fill of the food and company :3

Lets get down to business! 

So as many of you might be aware I completed a project in the last posting and have had time off to handle some restructuring, project management and of course some r&r. 

'Rodeo Queen' project reflection:

I'll be experimenting with a few things for the next project to see how the work flow ...

October Snapshot #3

Greetings!

Where to start. So I've done some introspective reflection on how I go about the process to my work and I grappled with a few questions about how to go about it elegantly. 

Before that however! I wanted to feature snippets of the animations I've been working so diligently on these past two weeks! Attached you'll see a smoothed out version of one animation featuring more corrections, cleaned up line work and transitions. I think in the future as a new approach most ...
