Occured to me that i haven't drawn anything for myself in a long time so i doodled HER again yesterday on my iPad... still trying to think in "rig-friendly" designs 😄

Quite honestly if i had too much time on my hands i would learn Decker and make adventure games using nothing but that.

Guess the whole timelapse was a bit excessive so here's just the cat demo 😅

"Pixel" Art with vectors. Rigged another pose of my crazy cat for my adventure game i'm working on.

Okay, FINALLY back to this little adventure game i'm working on. I decided to do some rigs for the secondary characters to speed things up. The crazy cat is pretty much ready.

Moho luckily allows for aliased exports so i can integrate them quite seamlessly.

Ey look, doing frame by frame coloring in Moho 😅

New Moho Script: "Select Animated Layers" makes the whole workflow of animating sub-layers of your rigs far easier and hopefully motivates more people to not just animate bones but points as well.

Give it a whirl, it's really great! mohoscripts.com/script/HS_Se...

I made a little King's Quest VII Fan Animation – a game that made me want to be an animator thinking games would always be hand-drawn... With much appreciation to Roberta Williams, Lorelei Shannon and Marc Hudgins.
