My most recent project at work was getting to animate a cutie patootie magical girl sequence.

EVERYONE(!) I’m blazing this post because at this pace we might barely hit 1,000,000 signatures—or just fall short. PLEASE reblog this post, no matter where you are from, so we can reach as many EU citizens as possible and end this horrible practice!

There's this cat shelter that's still running in Gaza

I'm soliciting help for Tamer Skaik and Samer Skaik, two brothers who refused to abandon their cats even when they could have. But things have gotten really bad for them and they're struggling to feed even their human children and I'm really scared they'll have to resort to the unthinkable if they don't get more funds to acquire food so please pitch in to their campaigns if you can:

Campaign for their families

Campaign for their cats

No safety. No food. No aid. No water. No healthcare. No education. Is this what it means to live? Is this what world accept as life?

If a group of animals were trapped, starved, and cut off from the world like this, people would be outraged.

But because it's us—human beings—somehow, the world looks away.

These are unbearable days. Everything feels heavy. Each hour presses on my chest like I’m being suffocated.

My family needs urgent help.

Basic survival has become nearly impossible. Bread—just bread—now costs over $25 a day to make.

We are not asking for luxury. We are begging for life.

Please, if you’re reading this: help. Reblog this post. Talk about us. Donate if you can. Even a small act can mean everything right now.

I haven't really had the opportunity to share much of my work on Techrot Encore because I sort of excitedly leapt onto the next thing. Anyway, despite working on both Packet and Drillbit, I also still grabbed a Gemini emote because I was very feral for tasks at the beginning of the year. So I got to animate Minerva.

Time to share more fun workflow stuff! I pitched this vendor idea after being tasked with doing his vendor animation set. I really wanted to lean into Amir being very engaged in a game and having his concentration broken once you got too close to him. Time to share more fun workflow stuff! I pitched this vendor idea after being tasked with doing his vendor animation set. I really wanted to lean into Amir being very engaged in a game and having his concentration broken once you got too close to him. I started with an animatic to pitch the idea, and this board ended up saving my ass when I was then too sick to make the trip in to the studio to do mocap. Thankfully, Tim was able to swoop in and save the day.

So here is storyboard vs the final animation!

So I latched onto Amir so hard, I also called dibs on his Gemini emote. Here's my final anim pass/drawovers for FX for the swap.

Happy Warframe 1999 day! I wanted to share this one months ago but did not have the time/energy to clean it up. Behold: Amir. My sweet cheese. My good time boi. This was a time where I had been given a variety of mocap to clean up, and since I had made both an arcade and pinball cycle, Geoff went: "Why not both?" So this is 4 animations that work together: 2 arcade loops that are actually around 30- seconds long, and then two keyframed transition animations that each last about a second (counting overshoot and settle). I had to grab the level and pray that nothing got tweaked in the time I animated this, because the positioning of the machines was integral to making sure it worked. It was a wild challenge to get this up and running properly with Scott, who helped implement it. I hope that it entertained you up until you see his new version!

I may as well embrace all my cringe on here. Why not? My only contribution (so far) to the Arcane fandom. Made in 2022 when I saw a REALLY funny tiktok stitch on the dead bird site and I was like: "haha it'd be funny to do that with Jayce and Viktor". And then I spent an ungodly amount of my free time making this.

ANIMATION FANS, WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Yesterday, the day before Lightbox Expo, over 800 TAG members marched to Netflix’ headquarters & delivered a petition demanding the AMPTP keep animation jobs union, agree to AI protections, & more. SHOW THE AMPTP YOU STAND WITH ANIMATION!!

Sign your name next to the people that make the shows you love: animationguild.org/tagpetition

WE REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!! Over the years, I have been asked by numerous fans how they can help us keep the animation industry from collapsing. Taking this action now will directly help our fight! I’m on The Animation Guild’s negotiations committee this year. I have been in the conference call with the AMPTP.

They do not see us as human.

They want us to lose our jobs, our homes, and our entire livelihoods.

They want to REPLACE ALL OF US and give YOU AI-generated slop, because they do not fucking care about this industry.

PLEASE HELP!!

I'm extremely busy at the moment with work, but since the demo is out and you've all seen her, I wanted to share some of my creative process on building my favourite Lasrian enemy. One thing I found is that when it comes to pitching more complex animations is that i waste a lot less time drawing it out first. It's not always part of my workflow, but it helps immensely.

My animatic is very clearly not polished in the ways you see with others online, but it serves its purpose of selling an idea to myself, as well as my directors. The polish needs to go into the final animation, as seen below.

I'll try to show more in the future.
