Hi! 👋 I'm a freelance 3D Generalist from Germany who loves creating and practicing with #StarWars fan art in my spare time. Current main personal project is a #CloneWars fan film titled #TukkTales - a love letter to the show that made my childhood. ✨

Huge thanks to the amazing @theclonewarszine team, every artist who contributed, and everyone who supported this wonderful project. May the Force be with you all! ✨

Had a blast creating it, building new 3D assets for Rex, the 501st and 332nd clones, modeling (half) a gunship, designing custom painting tools for the clones to use, and more...

Turntable animation of my AT-RT asset in 241st / Hill Company colors.
Had some extra fun with this one and added a small battle scene with sound fx to it. Enjoy!

Glad to hear my work is inspiring you, thank you!!

Jan // High Ground Animations @hganimations.bsky.social · Apr 21

Thanks for your patience! 🙏

...I am doing a "Tukk Tales sabbatical" the next couple of months, where I scale down my freelance job by a lot, so I can focus on the film for a while and finally make some faster progress! So the release is not quite around the corner yet, but things are happening!

Jan // High Ground Animations @hganimations.bsky.social · Apr 14

Hey, thanks for your patience! There's no release date yet, since it's a personal no-budget project that I can only work on in my spare-time, which makes it hard to schedule. Still lots of work ahead & progress has been slower than I had hoped, BUT...

Nice! #reference

Animal Photo Reference Repository @animalphotorefs.bsky.social · Jan 27

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Thank you so so much for sticking with me and supporting my project despite the quietness (and me kinda sucking at social media lol)! It'll be worth the wait!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉

(And a special thanks to Luis Humanoide for his incredible #TukkTales music used in this clip)

BUT! I'm as committed and motivated as ever and 2025 is the year I want to take some bolder steps to allow myself to focus more on #TukkTales, even if it means scaling back on freelance work. I'm in the middle of making some exciting plans and can't wait to share updates with you soon!
