Hi #PortfolioDay, I am a game animator from Southern California. I thought I'd share an animation I've been working on recently. I have a new reel but it's a bit too long for Bluesky, so if you'd like to see it, it's available here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sttw...
This is the sort of thing I do during my time off I guess, I exchanged some old #Pokémon cards today for a bunch of cards to complete my 151 master set... still have like 60 cards to go.

I'm getting a little choked up, I'm so used to the things I love being super obscure that watching KPDH blow up into a global phenomenon has been such a joy, I'm just so happy for everyone involved, it feels very vindicating.
Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

I'm still not sure how to organize the loose drawings from the drawers so in the meantime, I'm going to share some stuff from this huge binder of stuff, mostly from between 2000 and 2001. It's a lot like the drawers of loose drawings except I hole punched it. No organization. #sketchbooks

Wanted to be a veterinarian but couldn't handle medical gore, decided to draw animals instead, animation seemed like a good way to get paid to draw animals, still don't get paid to draw animals but did get paid to animate kids farting and guns firing.

I wanted to chat a little bit about an audio book my husband and I have been listening to every night while we do the dishes, which is titled "Children of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky, a soft science fiction book, and why I'm utterly devastated by the existence of this stupid book.

We interrupt this scanning session to bring you a WIP story I apparently started when I was like 10 that I must not have planned out very well, I have been laughing for the last five minutes. #sketchbooks

Well the good news is that second drawer was only a third full of drawings and the rest was old keepsakes so I'm done with loose drawings, bad news is now I'm into scanning this box of small size #sketchbooks... kill me now

It looks like the second drawer is a lot of loose drawings from my college days, which is cool, but it's a lot of 16 field animation paper that doesn't fit in my scanner, which is less cool

Good news is I finally finished scanning everything in this drawer, total of about 800 files. Bad news is I got another one of these drawers that's just about as full. 🫠 #sketchbooks

thoughts while scanning hundreds and hundreds of individual pieces of artwork:
why did I keep all these
I wish I could go back in time and smack these stupid drawings out of my dumb hands
god it's another Simba

So this is interesting, I am scanning more art for the #sketchbooks project and found this sketch which looks like an early drawing of Tigrin that's like a day older than the earliest one I thought I had. Even funnier is not only is that URL at the bottom still active, it looks exactly the same.

A game I worked on as a contract animator, The Outer Worlds 2, is out today. It's a pretty fun game so I hope people enjoy playing it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfDk...

The part that really sucks about ramping up on yet another preventative med for migraines is having all the debilitating side effects of the med AND a migraine. At this point I've had a migraine almost every day for two months? Three months? Nothing works.

We bought this "Cat Coloring" book for my daughter, but some of the artwork is kind of suspicious, looks potentially AI-generated. Disappointing to have to worry about this.

I had a dream this morning I started taking commissions again... this seems crazy considering I won't even draw for myself, but I've always found it easier when someone is telling me what to draw rather than just drawing whatever I want. 😩

While scanning my old #sketchbooks I've encountered a number of places where pages were torn out and it seems like in some cases those were places I had done some referenced anatomy drawings or life drawings that I later ripped out so no one would see them.

I often drew on the back of my #sketchbooks and disposable paint palettes, I'm sure I have more but here are a few.
