The Evolution of Style in 3D Film

I wanted to show how much theatrical animation has changed in the last few years. Incorporating 2D elements has always been attempted but was rare and went unnoticed. That’s not the case anymore with more adopting it, anime too!

Felt like doing something Ghibli-esque. Was fun!

A cel-shaded commission I drew for my friend Digitaldimension! It is his OC Digi after fleeing from Galacta Knight... looks like he lost the fight. He's actually on a totally barren planet, hiding! Hope he can stay out of sight and recover for now.

I love drawing cel-shaded stuf, I'm sad I don't do it as much lately since I've been so busy! So, I am glad Digital asked me to work on this drawing! It was also fun painting the background with all the rocks and faults-- It's been a while since I painted too now that I think abt it! Damn, I guess my Kirby drawings have been occupying a lot of my time lately & I haven't experimented as much! Oh well, it's fun to experiment whenever I'm able anyways.

Also it was interesting drawing something more dark/serious with a puffball character! I have drawn a bit of Kirby related body horror for my gijinka project (and trust me there will absolutely be more) but the keyword there is 'gijinka', and I haven't really drawn blood for that. The puffballs having blood isn't something that crossed my mind actually! But it's fun to experiment and explore new ideas, so I had a good time drawing this illustration. Fun fact, Digi's scar color is actually the same as his skin color, just on a 'multiply' layer!

Finished a new commission! The cover for "Grave Omens" by Leveret Moreau (YaoiParadise)!

🦋Read it here: https://tapas.io/series/Grave-Omens/info

"Cassius Niobyr is one of Kamai’s elite- a treasured thrall to the city’s leader, his position is envied by all. Few know the truth of his tasks, his power… and the torment he suffers to maintain peace in the city.

When he receives orders to deal with Raielle Ascelin, a vampire who threatens the city’s hierarchy, Cass finds not all is what it seems in Sector 8. Rai gives him a choice: remain under the control of an unforgiving owner, or risk everything- his only friend, his purpose, his very life- to become his own master.

Drawn into a war centuries in the making, Cass has to decide how far he is willing to go to discover the true depths of his power… and how much he is willing to sacrifice to save a decaying world."

How Mutant Mayhem uses it’s style (Part 1).

Been wanting to breakdown TMNT’s approach to style since at first it looks familiar but is very different. This is gonna be a long post.

The movie is going for an oil painting Claymation look. To give it a gross, messy street art texture.

Overlaying it with sketchy 2D effects to give the animation extra pop. This really highlight the setting, and the core of the film being how being mutants is clashing with their age.

The film uses the look to recreate film effects. When something moves fast instead of a motion blur, they literally smear the paint. Like it’s falling behind, these are slowed down to get a better look.

This is even slower to see the detail.

The next thing is camera focus, since the sketch and painting effects are on the models, they literally smudge them to make something out of focus. You can see that with all the turtles here especially Leo with his sword. 

Or here with April just look at her hair, bringing down the sketch and playing up the paint. 

This post is quite long so I’ll split this post into parts. There’s even more about the look that I want to share so I’ll do that at another time.

I don't care what Ryoko Kui says, this is my modern AU

Once again continuing my tradition of biting off more than I can chew and still swallowing, I've returned from my pre-holiday slump with a 3-character scene and no remaining fear of God.

I'll be honest, this was a huge struggle. Partially because I have no idea how to draw camp chairs, partially because for whatever reason I just couldn't seem to get the colors right. I can still see a few mistakes here that I'm really kicking myself over. But I had fun, and that's the most important part.

Another commission for DigitalDimension!! Featuring Digi in puffball form, with armor! You can also call him Dimension Knight. His pose is referenced from Meta Knight’s Smash Bros Brawl pose. Still very fun to draw! Though it’s surprisingly tough to draw a perfect puffball-- I think DigitalDimension himself is much more skilled at posing his character when he draws him, since he draws kirby characters all the time!

A bit of a coloring experiment after my friends sat me down to watch Hazbin Hotel with them. I really wanted to use similar style I used for backgrounds of my thesis film - object heads, evil shadow dwellers and slight 60's liminality included, haha!

If I was a princess of Jötunheimr, I guess I'd be pretty huge, huh? Stronger too. Neat.

A spin on Nephenee's new resplendent, but as her Halberdier class from FE10! thank you to @labmemb3r for commissioning another Nephenee!!

Commission for Yeezusboii who wanted their character (Sam) enjoying a Pabst Blue Ribbon and smoking a cigarette in an 80s style living room, while wearing some 80s attire too, of course. :3 I really enjoyed coloring this one, with how atmospheric and mellow it is. It seems whenever I do commissions for him, they always turn out fantastic. Some commissioners just have that energy for some reason, haha.

Process pics and a full-res copy are available on my Patreon!
