Early blocking of the Next Wave title animation, gonna smooth it out much more and make the blue thing look more like actual water. Most of the work I'm doing in general is blocking/storyboarding, trying to have most if not all of the animation done by the start of July #animation #pixelart

Another Detective Liz idle animation (for some reason). Even though she doesn't have powers, Liz is incredibly smart, and designs some of her own technology, including her impact-multiplying gloves! They amplify her already-abnormal physical strength to match her foes. #pixelart

Detective Liz's idle animation (only plays once or twice usually). Detective Liz lives in a world where super-powered individuals are becoming more and more common, but Liz herself has no such powers. That said, relying on her own human ability, she takes on superpowered enemies. #pixelart

An old birthday gift for a friend when I was still learning animation and pixel art. I think it's very meh now, obviously can do better, but I'm not mad at it considering what else I was making at the time. My friend likes vampires, if it's not obvious. #pixelart

The old intro to my YouTube channel, using the old branding and such. I was really proud of it initially, but I dunno, nowadays it feels really boring, not to mention most of YouTube moving away from intros for the most part. I still like intros but meh, the meta I guess #pixelart

This is an old prototype of the CDawgVA game that I've been playing around with lately. I still kinda wanna do something with it, cause I found it fun, but I don't know, Punch Punch Punch and Next Wave are my focuses right now. Maybe it'll just be a free time project? #gamedev

The victory animation for the CDawgVA fangame. In all honesty, it was just attack animations chained together. Since I was removing the attacks in favor of more platforming focus, I wanted to use the animations for SOMETHING. If i ever come back to it, I'm probably ditching this tbh #pixelart

Been a big fan of CDawgVA for a while, and at one point, I was going to make a fangame about him. Ended up falling through, but I really like the animations I made for him, and I might use them in the future. This is his idle though #pixelart

More Moku, now his twin hammer attack! His blood demon art allows him to create wooden objects whenever he pleases.

I don't really have more lore for him to yap about, but I can answer any questions if you have them?

Oh, his hair is made out of leaves though. #pixelart

Moku, THE Wood Demon. He's very buff, and has a very inflated ego. He was actually going to pose often, viewing his body as a piece of art, and he has multiple statues of himself throughout his mansion. That's part of why he's so mad in this stumble animation, he's better than this. #pixelart

One of the attack animations of the Wood Demon. Basically, it would shoot it's leg into the ground, and then a wooden spike would come up beneath the player.

Lore: these demons were brought in by Moku as part of his family, and now they work for him, catching meals for him to eat. #pixelart
