Hi! I'm Aquana. I'm a 3D animator who likes to do a wide range of art projects.

Of course, my bsky feed going to be wild but you'll notice I'm still centered on my personal project theme

My socials: linktr.ee/aquanaknight
Very satisfied with the results. Both armour is not broken at all. More photos coming soon 💪

Just modified water gun into new looks
I tried to throw some aspects of myself because how bad my behavior was before, and let it consume me for survival's sake... (The crown)

But now I'm the lord, nothing can consume me, just be myself.
I'll let my "bad" side serve me and the others for the best
"Return of Power"

Major update for my mascot, now she's grown up. :)

"Why you not talk about this to producer??"
Already did. It's like talking with the wall. No hope for corporate world that think us just like a machine...
Very weird thing about this, other studios got artists credit except us because "some agreement". That's not make sense for basic stuff like this.
Good news : New project that I worked on released
Bad news : Region locked once again and cannot say anything 🙃

My friend suggested me to draw my fursona
So why not? lol
A little glimpse what I'm doing rn
(Animation only btw)
Apologies, it's Monday again 😥😥
I like to find a way to increase my drawing speed.
but at the same time, it likely ended up to full CG 💀

Rough/simple: 1-2 hours
If clean up from above: 2-8 hours
Super details: 24-60 hours+

If anything, the first sketch often holds the most raw and pure feelings of an idea. it might not be the best yet, but there’s a lot of value in creating something based on intuition. Sometimes when you start overworking a concept, that element gets lost.
On a similar note, "your first sketch/idea is never your best" is one of the worst pieces of advice I've ever gotten.

I wasted a lot of time and energy forcing myself past concepts that I felt strongly about because I was made to believe a better one was out there. Often there just wasn't one.
I don't like "Your first draft will be shitty" as advice, because it's a really negative framing.

I prefer, "You have the freedom to be messy creating your first draft."

Anyone crafter knows what their room looks like mid-creation. Writers should be as free to be as exhuberent and messy.
...and I just realized that this is a sign of burnout.

My animator career experience hits harder than I thought
And I want to do something to free myself from this situation with little flame remaining...
