Thanks so much!!

Huge thanks to the amazing @theclonewarszine team, every artist who contributed, and everyone who supported this wonderful project. May the Force be with you all! ✨

Had a blast creating it, building new 3D assets for Rex, the 501st and 332nd clones, modeling (half) a gunship, designing custom painting tools for the clones to use, and more...

It was an honor to contribute this piece to the @theclonewarszine charity fan zine alongside so many incredible artists and their stunning work!

haha I see your vision!
Thanks so much!!

He sure looks like he's having fun and it's infectious. Let's hope he reaches his destination some day! 🥹

Had some extra fun with this one and added a small battle scene with sound fx to it. Enjoy!

Glad to hear my work is inspiring you, thank you!!

Thanks for your patience! 🙏

...I am doing a "Tukk Tales sabbatical" the next couple of months, where I scale down my freelance job by a lot, so I can focus on the film for a while and finally make some faster progress! So the release is not quite around the corner yet, but things are happening!

Hey, thanks for your patience! There's no release date yet, since it's a personal no-budget project that I can only work on in my spare-time, which makes it hard to schedule. Still lots of work ahead & progress has been slower than I had hoped, BUT...

Aaah thanks so much, that really means a lot! 😭❤️

If you never watched this great show, it's time.

It's soo good!!

Nice! #reference

Thank you so so much for sticking with me and supporting my project despite the quietness (and me kinda sucking at social media lol)! It'll be worth the wait!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉

(And a special thanks to Luis Humanoide for his incredible #TukkTales music used in this clip)

BUT! I'm as committed and motivated as ever and 2025 is the year I want to take some bolder steps to allow myself to focus more on #TukkTales, even if it means scaling back on freelance work. I'm in the middle of making some exciting plans and can't wait to share updates with you soon!

• Got to wear some amazing new cosplays crafted by @seku_teska_cosplay 💙
• And yes, also made progress on #TukkTales...

...although not as much as I had hoped. Finding the spare time to work on such an elaborate no-budget personal project can be tricky.

Goodbye 2024, hello there 2025! 🥳🎉🌟

Those were some busy 12 months:
• Worked on a LOT of fun and diverse freelance jobs
• Moved to a new city
• Met a ton of lovely people at conventions and attended FMX Conference for the first time (eternal thanks to @hranimator), what a blast!

As 2024 ends let’s all be nicer in 2025 and don’t trash fellow animators or writers or filmmakers on social media. You never know who reads your tweets. It’s so unprofessional. And I’m not talking constructive criticism (even that isn’t always asked for).

I initially modelled them because my S.O. cosplays Tech & wanted accurate ones to 3d print. 😄 Was fun painting them in the style of the show with actual paint for once!

Good catch!! But no, I want to stay away from any official characters (aside from generic ones like battle droids etc.) in the short. These tools are only gonna be used for set dressing, just like in The Clone Wars before they were repurposed for Tech's model.
