Ten years ago, today, released a game that dramatically changed the course of my life. It's given me friends and relationships I wouldn't have had otherwise, strengthened my bond with many others, and inspired me in so many ways I can't even begin to count.
Happy bday Undertale, what a work of art.

Hello from Washington DC, where hundreds of people and what seems like an unreasonable amount of police are assembling for the We Are All DC March
This is the first pre-planned, DC-focused protest since the occupation began. Let's see how this goes

This cut was a REAL challenge!
For Nocturne Episode 3, we wanted Edouard to have a brilliant felt coat with a pattern, but drawing that would be very complex. In his big turnaround shot, I put in a lot of care to make the pattern have shape and dimension. Lotsa steps went into that. Take a look!

Wanted to show off this breakdown from this TINKERHELL scene; it was real important to me that we establish this tiny thing as something truly unnerving when we get a closeup of her face so the post production REALLY went all out on this cut. Take a look!

Seems I missed #portfolioday but if anyone's still checking, I wanna say I'm available for #compositing #editing and #motiongraphics work!
I got over 7 years of experience in the animation industry and worked on quite a few shows, and have worked on ad campaigns, youtube channels, you name it!

This animator did a really good job doing what I usually do: taking old manual artwork and animating it.
Except they took the idea to completion with a whole commercial for the original Legend of Zelda! Give it a watch, it's very well done.

Oh hey! You can now find the full versions of the Sonic Symphony's lyric videos for the TITAN themes!
I had the honor of working on two of them, Find Your Flame and the extended version of Undefeatable. :D
The other two were done by @samprocrastinates.bsky.social and @kennieadventure.bsky.social

Sometimes, #animation cuts are just a still image of very detailed #art. When that happens, it only makes sense for me to go a little extra!
For one sequence in Castlevania Season 3, I was in charge of plussing a very... intimate moment, so here's some steps that went into that 😳🙈💖

Slower breakdown of that one TINKERHELL cut from my reel, so you can get a better look at the steps involved.
An example of how far you can take source assets and transform them into something wildly different!
Pretty proud of the blood ground FX 🥰
