I’m so happy with this sketch!
Today I visited my local library and took my iPad to do some drawing there. It was sooo nice to switch off and sketch.

@theycallmesal.bsky.social oRPG97
for him to add some 2DFX on this Ganondorf animation I made awhile back and the result came out amazing. Please be sure to check Sal's work guys!

Now you can stitch together clips to your hearts content!
I've also done a video tutorial (along with written and web versions). If you find that sort of long form explanation useful, do let me know.

Why are so many studios anti remote for roles that do not need to be on site? Offer the option of flexibility it’s so much better for people! The cost of travel, relocation, unnecessary stress, it just does not add up in today’s climate..

When animator @mjednachowski.bsky.social and tech animator Dan O'Reilly were tasked with creating a ferocious creature piece, they could not have been more up for the challenge!
When given nothing but a bunch of cubes to work with, they said - "Bring it on!"
The results speak for themselves...

This anim I made is another one of those "useless" ones.
During that chase in Ori there was nothing in the background, so lightning-fast I made a cheap pass (the one above), we put it in the game and we saw that although it did't add anything at a gameplay level, it does add atmosphere.
