Ghost of Yōtei Animation Reel - 2025 My animation work from Ghost of Yōtei developed by Sucker Punch Productions and Copyright Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC All animals are keyframed and all…

I might have the one Yōtei animation reel without any real combat in it. In the game I worked on, Atsu visits a wildlife refuge or something. 🦊 vimeo.com/1128002581?s...

Tried out woodcarving and it was fun!! Really challenging with the fine detail tho. Ended up with a rather unfortunately phallic-looking hibiscus after accidentally chipping away the second row of flower bits 🙃

It deserves more hype for sure!

Started watching Gachiakuta and I'm so digging the art style! The animation is impeccable, I hope it maintains consistency til the end
Also ep3 comedy is pure gold 👇

I watched 12 Angry Men not knowing what to expect and hot damn, it was absolutely rivetting. Not a single moment felt draggy, the pacing and build up of tension was perfection. What an incredible study of character, each of these unnamed men were such distinct personalities!

Man, I know my outreach here is limited but I just got laid off at 2K after working on BioShock 4 for a year and a half. To say I'm gutted is a complete understatement.

If anyone is in need of a friendly, fast and heavily driven animator with a lot of games experience please do let me know :)

It's funny cause the cumulative amount of hours spent on this is probably like only 1 full week of work over 4 years of procrastinating 😂 I definitely know the poses by heart by now lol

Aww thank you for all the kind support Andy! 💖 It's mostly procrastination haha... Some days i tweak a few fingers for 10mins then close the file for a year 😂😂 But I keep thinking of this WIP for years so I had to kick myself to get back to it! I guess I learned some determination 😂

Finally, new animation!
I started this almost 4(!!) years ago to practice animating on 2s & get more comfortable animating hands. This piece has taken so long that I don't know if I've leveled up, but finishing it matters more than perfection.

Here's the progression reel of how this piece took me 4 years; just a lethal combination of artblock, procrastination, and indecision. But it's also pretty satisfying to see how it all came together in the end.

I went through horrible artblock (anim block?) for years and finally mustered the will to blaze through most of it in the past 2 months. It's honestly a relief to be done with this! This piece has evolved a ton since it first started.

If this is accurate, WeTransfer is unusable for professional creative work. Would violate most work-for-hire contracts to share copyrighted material with a third party like this.

Been doing some online life drawing with Larian folks and it's really nice to be drawing again after such a long time!

A graph titled “The Creative Process” showing a cute pumpkin girl going through stages of making something. She starts out high up, “I just had the best idea!!!” and starts sliding down a hill “this isnt as simple as I expected.” She winds up in The Swamp of Despair (two skulls say: “this part sucks! don’t give up!”) She says, “this sucks, I suck. Why am I wasting my time.” She crawls her way out of the swamp “it’s not perfect but I’m going to finish” and crests the final hill, “it’s done??? I lived???” Finally, she walks away from it all, glittering with pride. “This turned out pretty good!”
