A rather simply rigged fella for the Mashed project! The legs are kept as single drawings (instead of split as the knees) since I don't really know how they work yet. I'm planning to animate them using the good ol' technique of making it up as I go.

Exciting! Due to how many of my own projects are done or close to done, I've taken up a job with Mashed to animate a video of theirs!
I'm gonna be posting production posts about it even though it's not technically my project to keep Patreon going during the one or two weeks I'm solely working on it.
I'm still finishing up some of my own work so posts for my own work will continue until then (soon-ish) and commissioned work posts will be all tagged like this one in the t...

My lapse in daily posts is done, as I'm back from funny horse convention. Shortly, I'll publicly release the short I premiered. No later than this weekend.
As for other projects!...

I think this happens because in the camera window (where I animate characters; 3D work is done in a "perspective" window) zooming around doesn't count as moving the camera in 3D space so the FOV past the camera frame is... THIS

A little five second clip from the new short! Probably going fully public the weekend of, or after BronyCon itself. Haven't decided yet.

Who woulda guessed the pony posts i've been making, all tagged with "bronycon" was actually for Bronycon?! Anyway, it's just a formal announcement <3

Originally the crowd was gonna be entirely animatable with each pony ACTUALLY being a full puppet. Upon trying to execute, the scene became so laggy Toon Boom almost crashed so now they're just rows of pre-rendered images. They didn't need to blink anyway.

Animation starts on the Bronycon project! Meanwhile Bird News is just shy of completely finished. (yay)

I had an idea for a 3D shot and after much frustration with how Toon Boom renders 3D models, I have effectively built a 3D set with FLAT IMAGES pretending to be models. (Shadows were literally painted onto the floor for this to work)
If it works, it works, y'know

The core animation of Bird news being completed, i move onto sound work and final visual revisions.
(oof)
During such, I'm squeezing in a video to present at Bronycon this year, starting with this stylish Pen puppet. You may have seen the art of it on twitter but now it's animatable!

I accidentally caused a long tween between the end of one pose and the rough block out of the next and got a good giggle

By the way, Bird News (still needing a proper title) is closing in to being done! at least animation wise.

I wanted to give her ear rings, but upon realizing birds don't have... ears, I just put gold clips on the ends of some head feathers. Bird fashion!

Whenever I reach this part of the background process, I start to wonder if it can possibly look good by the end, because this stage looks so irreversibly bAD.
It usually pulls through though... usually

I like to imagine my bird world only has fundamental technology, which I guess includes cameras and broadcasting but not any sort of effects.
Yeah this should make sense, lmao

A background for Bird News!
I'll take a half pound of sunflower please
Because of a bit of an underwhelming amount of people messaging me for stickers since their release, I've raised the limit to allow 5 more!
If you've been absolutely DYING for these awful stickers that are clogging up my filing cabinet, now could be your chance to get your greasy hands on them!
(Remember, however, that I can't mail them out until at least one payment is verified)

Apparently my bird universe has the birds building their houses pre-suspended, however that works.

A whole 3D set for one panning shot. For some reason i was expecting to do more 3D motion in a news set. lol

What do you like to see most in them? I can try to focus more on what y'all like.

Below is a link to the "Sticker Catalog" as we'll call it, including all the sticker sheets I currently have and how best to get them to ya.
Have at it, and thanks!

I'm trying a lot of new things with texture in Clip Studio Paint. Masking pre-made textures into certain objects for easy detail (Most notably the on floor)
