Artist/Animator. I post a variety of original characters and fan art.
Pinned
Two weeks ago, I concluded 3 years of University.

I guess there's no better time than now to update my showreel!

Next animation I'm working on is a little more complex, so here's a preview of a simpler shot I animated a few months ago with some test compositing!

Where could Sybil possibly be walking?

The Mirror

Yeah, 'Everything Burns' is cool and all but 'The Mirror' is absolute peak. (I am not at all biased due to my love of 90s-00s ska punk)

I don't know if I've been influenced by that Frieren meme or something but I've noticed a lot of my drawings and animations lately have featured a lot of of characters looking up.

During some epic FF14 Raiding (Silky Prog), discussion turned to monkeys, and additionally monkeys with the combined head of a monkey and a horse riding unicycles.

Of course, in between lockouts I got to work.

I got a little bored while animating my fire loop. of course, I solved this problem by animating something else.

Here's a super rough Ivy Lipsync test that I may or may not return to.

It's not often I sketch something that's disconnected from any fandoms or other characters of mine. I should do more of it.

The urge to animate vs the urge to play games and think about animating:

Thus concludes the sequence of poll sketches. I've posted other things I've been working on like the fire animation, hopefully those and others will be complete sooner than later.

Freya Crescent sketches. As can be seen, even in rough form, triangular hats are the bane of my existence.

I've recently been working on an animation loop of Ashleigh using fire magic for the LoopdeLoop animation challenge.

Pretty keen on the progress so far, and wanted to share it.

Nothing worse than opening the door and like six, maybe seven hornets rush in.

Grung sketch from the poll, using an idea from this specific grung's creator: Grung trying to order at a fast food drive through.

Found some older sketches of my Warrior of Light.

I really like Hrothgar. I will not elaborate any further.

Turns out across the sites I polled, Grung won overall in a surprising landslide.
Gonna draw all these character but roughly in order of the poll results, so Grung - Hornet - Sonar - Freya.

Found some old sketches from my second year at uni.

We were encouraged to draw as frequently as possible, and I ended up designing this epic boxing cat.

I've really screwed myself by mostly drawing anthro characters, I cannot keep re-drawing the snout 80 times in every sketch.

I've got a bit of artblock but I'm hovering around some characters I want to draw.

idk if bluesky has dedicated polling feature so I made a strawpoll:
strawpoll.com/w4nWWO7DdnA
I have artblock and am offloading thinking elsewhere. Which character should I draw? - StrawPoll
What is your opinion? Vote now: Freya Crescent (FF9), Hornet (Silksong), Sonar (Dispatch), Grung (A Grung)

Okay so 20 minutes later and actually using reference I now have a far better sketch

Ivy Deadlock???

Drawn from memory so probably very innacurate.

Once I'm out of the new year's malaise, more drawings will be made!!! (hopefully)

Silly little brainworm I've had for a few months that I finally had some time to animate, made in 2 days and only lightly sleep deprived.

Simple loop of the final shot from my previous animation. I hope everyone has had a great new year, so here's to a (hopefully) great 2026!

New years is an emotional time. Sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worst.
No matter the emotions, it's always nice to spend time with friends on new years eve...
