A surprisingly simple yet surprisingly good looking portal effect all done inside Toon Boom.
The main effect is two turbulence nodes, one for an overall waviness and another for the smaller bubbly effect. (turbulence nodes are a gift from the animation gods) And on top of that, various glows, blurs and masks that bring it together.

Quite obviously not the Reignited designs. I was a fan of vintage-hunter's shittiness. Just look at him.
also portal effects are super fun (sneaky professor on the left)

These are all the keyframes for the walk cycle i haven't finished yet. I thought it looked fun. Imagine the scampering noises

Thanks for the support leading here! Releasing tomorrow, I'm quite proud of this whole project! Here's a little early thing. (not too spoilery)

just a board from the Spyro Mashed video. Here's a couple more!
Gearing up for the weekend release here's the (probably) final thumbnail to look out for

What I've posted there in the screenshot is the final background I'm doing! After that, I have just a couple more segments of dialogue animation, one puppet to build and then finally, sound work. You can expect it very soon! <3

Chip Chirply absolutely breaking it down.
And for the curious, here's the same segment of dialogue from the original run through of animation that I'm trying to improve on!
I'm gonna make a bunch of Bird News posts! Here's a bunch of news cards. Apologies for the lapse. ^^
Before getting the final arrangement of the song, i first had to obviously WRITE the song... and uhhhh, this is how that alone sounds.

Here we go! (left being new, right being old) What I'm shooting for is a more consistent level of detail and fun colors! I think it's gonna be a nice improvement ^^

Another puppet built for the Spyro commission. In other news, I should have some Bird News posts returning soon!

Some enjoyable boards from this spyro project <3
Today i'm beginning the storyboard on the Spyro commission for Mashed! Have some Spyro man-handling

A big and handsome boy for the Spyro commission! I sort of took a middle ground of detail between his PS1 version and the remaster. (though he is more handsome than ever now)

Animated the goodest boy doing a little trot to test the rig for issues. He's so cute i swear to gOD

Some birds! New puppets are now being built for the reanimated Bird News. I rig them as I get the designs so I will be posting them as I go. Here are all of them thus far.

To see what kind of bugs the new model has I did some tests! So far it's feeling alright.
There's a walk up above, and below is a flight test, to see if the more wingy arms look reasonable while flying. I think so? could use a bit of adjusting but it's a proof of concept.
Anyway, daily posts shall be officially resuming from here! Apologies for the lapse. Stay tuned <3

Recently I hit up my on-and-off character designer and former roommate, Crunchy, about how i could possibly make my bird characters look better, specifically talking about Bird News.
After a bit of a late night brainstorm sesh, we came up with the image on top there. I thought the birds in Bird News were rather awkward looking, too humanly proportioned and basically... generically furry.
