Casting call is closed now but, I forgot to share this! The first call for voice actors went out last month for A Horse Tale, an indie animation series I'm so proud to be working on. I animated the little horses, Atlas, and did cleanup for Haïti in this little video!

Company mandated warrior cat OC -> Obligatory walk cycle! Just how it goes.... #animation #walkcycle
I think the Barn Owl design was my favorite Cozy Creature from 2025!! Really love how this one came out. <3
My animation reel from this year! Finally a year where I went out and animated...

Inevitability of needing to make a warrior cats oc because I'm participating in all these multi-animator projects now LOL. I have not had a warrior cat oc since 2010.... and it's been about that long since I've read one of the books.. hearing everyone talk about the new characters and going WHO, HUH
Been a looong while since my last style swap video, but this time I did Hazbin Hotel characters in the style of Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh! Just a brief little break from all the horses I'm drawing right now. ;> www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9M4...
Halloween animatic~ If you're planning on crossing River Styx, please be mindful to bring the right fare.

New noodle just dropped!
I love her!

This one was a revenge for ApexArts! They'd included one of my characters in an animated mass attack so I sent 'em a trot back! First time animating a trot so this was great practice for me! c: #artfight #artfight2025 #2danimation
Thank you so much! :D
Bunch more ArtFight attacks! Ended up doing a bunch this year c: #teamfossil #artfight

Buncha real quick sketches for #artfight! Been a good year for me since I decided to do cleaned-up sketches instead of super slow lined pieces lol.
Like four years ago @tytofi.bsky.social did an AWESOME animated artfight attack for me of Cedar Ceratosaurus walking, and here I am FINALLY getting them back for that >:) A Cerato for a Cerato, muahahah! #artfight #teamfossil
I get so bent out of shape about the last frame of this looking weird that I almost never share it but damn, I gotta show my pencil animations from school more often. As many things as I think look bad about it now, I learned SO much when I did this. #traditionalanimation #2danimation #penciltest
Tbh I don't think my peccary cozy does it justice
They are made of so much hair and this just does not capture it. One time at the zoo someone sneezed and all of the peccaries just fluffed up and they were SO. SO FLUFFY.
Got a lil celebrity in the backyard today! Been a while since I've seen a monarch butterfly at this bush :D
Such cool photos!! Did the beetle escape minus one leg? Or is that just the camera angle? Either way being picked at by a caracara and living to tell the tale makes one lucky beetle!!
I FULLY confess that I'm getting too much of a kick out of making "rare" original species traits that come with lore costs. Yeah you can have a rare furless cave satyr! It'll come with a respiratory disorder :) Lightless? Sure! But you probably got scammed!

Let's be so real. "I'm at the Soop Store" is a marked improvement. 😤
Obligatory Cozy Orca follow-up post!
I LOVE whenever a new report comes out about a specific orca group doing some wacky new thing but this one is TOOL USE LET'S GO
Tho calling it "FIRST marine tool use" does feel like a bit of a middle finger to octopuses. I suppose because it's skin care?? Hmm...

From Nov '23, study after a really great stock photo by Ricardo Reitmeyer. I always forget how long lion faces are! #animalart #sketch
Barn owl painting from a bit ago - 4x4" canvas using acrylics
I'm a dog owner, I love my dog, I think he's too dumb to hunt and he has really good recall. I cannot FATHOM letting him off leash in public, let alone at a nature park. Just because "nothing bad has happened" doesn't mean we should play with fire when it comes to pets. Sorry this happened. :(
I saw the video earlier and really had to process that this was within a couple cities of us. So many loved ones I'm worried for.
Campaign is ON it!!! 👏
