Since 2019, I’ve created many small #animation projects using freewares, so I decided to compile the best ones into this video. I guess that's my #demoreel for now!

mocap tests & #memes that I made with #OuterWilds characters
Some needed a full cleanup to look right, but I learned a LOT about 3d animation polishing yey✨

I recommend trying it out if u're into 3d! It's a fun grind

thanks to @cgdive.bsky.social 's tuts on Mixamo+Blender, they helped a ton #b3d

have a #Hornet Sentinel for #FanArtFriday

I miss #hollowknight already, miss praying for this boss lady to not wreck my pantheon 5 runs, good times

done using #krita and yes its a photo of my PC screen, because

digital fanart of Hornet, a boss character from the game Hollow Knight. She leaps in a dynamic pose, as if aiming at something to the right of the frame, holding a needle-like sword, her redish cloth flowing with the movement. She's on a snowy and sparkly background with glittering web threads crossing the image, some attached to the end of her weapon, some connecting to blurred spiked lumps around her.

Really want to make a poster gouache stream like this later on.
#traditionalart #drawing #inkdrawing #illustration

Snapshot of a ink and pen sketchbook page with the top text reading: "True Ref Abbey Esparza" with multiple colorful stylezid figure studies of a bearded man in black shorts, posed in various dramatic and humorous positions—sitting with a drink, squatting with a butterfly, lifting a pole, and yelling. The drawings are filled with bright colors like orange, teal, and lime green. Artist tag "@tashizuna" is included.

Ink and marker sketch of a regal armored character standing in front of an ornate gold-trimmed teal background, hands resting on the hilt of a glowing yellow lime sword. The figure wears a crown and a long, flowing cape. To the right, handwritten text says "END! THANKS FOR WATCHING!" with the artist's handle "@tashizuna" beneath. Color markers and sticky stars rest on the sketchbook page.

here the last two panels for the comic, to showcase that their final version was actually a full redraw. After 3 months away from the drawing I had to do it, I was noticing way more issues and potentials than before
happy that I did it, better shapes/depth in the end

An excerpt of a five-panel comic titled "EVENT HORRORIZON" featuring Madeline and Badeline from the game Celeste. Panel 1: Badeline appears and reacts with shock, saying, "Oh! Oh no... Oh NO!" .Panel 2: Badeline panicking and shouting "NOT THIS ROOM!!" with dramatic effects. Art by Tashizuna, based on HeirBearington's livestreams.

this was a meme comic strip that I made last year, after watching HeirBear's Stream when he struggled on this part (x.com/HeirBearring...)
I myself never got to that point, too hard

Me going through my VODs to fetch thumbnails, and I really liked this frame here — from a 2020 livestream.

It’s such an artist dilemma right there:
Do I keep the pencil lines, clean them, or trace a new “ink” line over them?

What’s the best choice??
Same vibe as “to be or not to be.”

A rough digital sketch of Dustman, from the game Dustforce, mid-action. He’s leaning forward with a dynamic pose, holding a broom over his shoulder, having just slashed it through the air. The sketch includes rough pencil lines along with darker, partially inked outlines. A watermark reading “@tashizuna” is visible in the corner.
