Misc Kaleidoscope Assets

I realized I never shared these sooner--Here are a few assets I made for the Hallucinating meme's kaleidoscope segment. They were initially black and transparent so I could overlay whatever color I needed, though I don't remember if I ended up using all 3.The primary asset used for that segment was a free to use stock image, so I won't be sharing that, but I ended up making these to go along with it to hopefully distort the animation ...

Night Drive BG

I've been on a sort of animation meme kick lately, and it took me a while but I finally figured out what I'm going to do next. I need to work on visual development for the opening of gotn--specifically color and atmosphere as its been a while since I've rendered a city environment-- but I've also really been wanting to animate lighting, so I've decided to combine the two and focus on building atmosphere and ~vibe~And the meme ...

update 2-9-2021

I'm going to be taking a brief break this week to figure out my game plan with regards to my web comic and future animated projects. Janus is currently on hiatus, I don't have any animation memes currently lined up right now, and the work I have to do for gotn is primarily plot/text based at the moment, so I likely won't have another update for you guys until next week.Thank you for being patient!

Janus Teaser

It's finally here! A brief glimpse at my sci-fi short, Janus 👀The release date is still TBD as I need to shift priorities to focus on my upcoming web comic, but I will keep you guys updated!Audio sourced from freesound.orgMixing done by meFull and proper credits will be available when the film is released.

Hallucinating Animation Meme [epilepsy/eyestrain]

This one's finally done! I had a lot of fun with this one, but I would like to spend less time on these projects going forward. Meme will be public Friday!I changed the format of the original meme a little bit to fit more of an exploration of Twigs descent into addiction.Also, lately, I've only been able to update once a week, but I'm planning to resume posting on Fridays now that this is complete. Animation makes frequent updates som...

Pendant WIP

This past week has been somewhat stressful due to personal reasons. I've been taking my time with this animation meme to relax, so here's a work in progress of one of the shots I like. The pendant is significant in our dnd campaign and our dm's future web comic--our party uses it to communicate with a god.Thank you for being patient with this and Janus, I hope you guys had a good weekend <3

Twig palette exploration

This is a bit of a late update, apologies! While I was waiting on my new laptop to come in, I took a break from animating only to find myself mentally sorting out another animation meme. These color tests aren't final--more explorations than anything. I want to take it easy on this one. I want to have fun with it, especially in editing.In other news--I took a break from GotN development in December for mental health reasons, but I'm hopin...

Shot 3 progression

My general practice is very disorganized, but I've compiled a series of passes to give you a sense of how I went about this shot. Enjoy!

update 1-7-2021

I, unfortunately, need to amend the date for the Janus teaser. The computer I work on is a Surface Book, and I've been encountering issues with the screen for a while now, but the condition has been severely worsening over these last few days. I looked into the issue, and apparently these problems are caused when the battery begins to swell, pushing and bruising the screen until it begins to detach from the device.I am very thankful that I wa...

Otter Pop | Animation Meme

Needless to say, this took much longer than expected, but I hope it was worth the wait! Video goes public tomorrow at 3pm.

Otter pop update

This is my most recent render for shot 3 in the Otter Pop meme. Needless to say cleanup on this shot has been taking significantly longer than expected, and I missed both my estimated deadlines for patreon and youtube despite my efforts and all nighters. Still I refuse to sacrifice quality for speed more than I already have, cause this shot is still fun despite the tedium. I'm still holding out hope to have the meme out by tomorrow, but if I ...

Otter Pop sneak peak

I only have 2 shots left! I want this video to go public on the 1st, so instead of posting on Friday, I will give you guys early access on preferably the 30th, but no later than the 31st!

Update 12/21/20

I'm at home this week for the holiday, so I'll be taking a break from posting until Monday. That being said, I've decided I will be sharing a teaser for Janus on January 11th, giving me time for last minute polishing. I've come a long way on this project, and I'm excited to share some of it!In the mean time, stay safe and take it easy <3

Otter Pop Meme Animatic

Here is the animatic for the next meme I'm planning. These are a lot of fun and are inspiring me to create again.though, I'm not entirely satisfied with how repetitive the..."meat" of the meme gets, so I may end up changing that in the end.I don't want to force a deadline since I'm going home for the holiday, but this is lowkey a gift for a friend, so I'm hoping to have it done by early January. Anyway, enjoy!(original...

Bloom | Animation Meme

This was a welcomed break from my usual routine, and it was nice challenging myself to finish this within a week. I'm sure there was more I meant to say, but it's 3am and I am beat. I definitely plan on doing more animation memes like this in the future, though!And as a reminder, video goes public on Friday!

Hunter

I'm in love with this brush and character and I cannot wait to write her

Heads up!

I decided to take a break on my film this week to work on an animation meme, Bloom. I'm hoping to foster interest in my characters and art again on social media, and hopefully this helps get the creative juices flowing again! If all goes according to plan I will be posting the meme to Patreon on Monday (12-14-2020), and it will go public on Friday!

Hunter concept

A semi-recent concept for a character that I am very excited to write! I can't say this will be her final design, but I am very close!

Mini Update 12-5-2020

I feel Janus's January deadline was a bit overzealous and I often forget just how busy November and December can get. I always have difficulty resuming work when or after I visit my family because it throws me off my routine so much, and I don't exactly have my own work space in St. Louis. Unfortunately, I can't exactly avoid it this time of year.So far I've been visiting once a month to take driving lessons, but after the holiday...

Telos concept (June 4, 2020)

I'm confident his design will change, but this is significantly closer to what I'm going for with this character.Telos, god of time and order. Keeper of the Nexus.

Update 11-30-2020

Nothing new to share, as I'm still falling back into working on my film after leaving for a week. At some point this week I'm hoping to set up a backlog of scheduled posts to make updating easier. Until then, I will be cleaning up scene 4!

Sc04_03

Came back from visiting family for thanksgiving last night, so sorry for the delayed post. Here's another still-shot, prior to editing/compositing. Something about making these is very relaxing.

Strange Vultures

Since I'm home for Thanksgiving, I was feeling nostalgic and made a furaffinity account so I can relive high school, if only for a little while.

Void Test

She won't become relevant for a while. There's still time.

Update 11-16-2020

I'm still getting the hang of patreon and I've been meaning to set a schedule for myself so I'm going to start posting on Mondays and Fridays exclusively to help manage the content I put out.In the meantime, I have set a schedule for production until I can get a job!Monday - Friday--- 12pm to 6pm: Film production--- 6pm to 11pm: commissions (when applicable)Saturday - Sunday--- GotN research and developmentI'm also hoping I'll...

Magritte

This was an assignment from an illustration elective where the goal was to illustrate a quote from Magritte:"The object, the thing connected with it in the shadow of my consciousness, and that light wherein that thing would become apparent."I had been exploring sacred geometry and ancient philosophies already for the sake of my web comic, so naturally my first response was to do something influenced by Plato's Allegory of the Cave. I ...
