8 years ago, I rigged and animated this flying dragon-snake for Leikir Studio.

Had to find a clever way to get that smooth, serpentine flow—still love solving these kinds of challenges! 🐉⚡

I used to struggle with foot placement in my turnarounds until I figured out this hack, hope it helps!

Art of Final Fantasy 7’s Barret Wallace sitting and holding Cait Sith (a tuxedo cat) on his lap.  Barret is a hulking muscular dude with a flat top fade and face that rests in a scowl.  His jacket has the sleeves torn off so that it is more of a vest.  His right hand is missing and replaced with a minigun, which he is using to pet Cait Sith (it hasn’t been recently fired, so the gun barrels are cool.  Nonetheless, please don’t pet cats with firearms.)  Cait Sith is stretching its head upwards to scritch against the metallic cuff of the contraption, with the word “purr” floating above its smiling face.

This was put on the back burner for a little bit, but I collaborated with
@theycallmesal.bsky.social oRPG97
for him to add some 2DFX on this Ganondorf animation I made awhile back and the result came out amazing. Please be sure to check Sal's work guys!

Sometimes I spend a few hours animating a combo without any intention beyond honing my skills, since sometimes being a director means not animating for a while.

I thought i'd start a monthly Pose Cycle challenge where i'll animate a cycle based on a different pose every month. If anyone wants to get involved keep an eye out for the January pose and more details in the next couple of days. It would be fun to see how differently others approach the same pose.

Secret Level is the best thing streaming right now.

If you want to get hooked immediately, start with ep 5, warhammer and then jump back and watch from ep 2, Sifu. With each ep it just keeps getting better.

I see why it’s getting a second season.
