Super proud to share that I tackled character/prop designs and animation cleanup on the release date trailer for Grapple Dog: Cosmic Canines! 🪝🐶✨
Here's a pair of progress videos showcasing some of my favorite shots I cleaned up:
🚨WOAH ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is launching August 15 2024 on PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series S/X !!
Check out the brand new release date trailer !!
The Flynn/Eugene we got in Tangled was indeed very handsome, but HOO BOY if they had gone with this big fella from the concept art I'd probably have melted into a puddle.
Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio.
“We need smaller games that give us prestige and awards,” Matt Booty (head of Xbox Game Studios) told employees in a town hall today.
lowkey wanna see other people's take at redesigning the og pokemon cast 👀 it's really fun since their designs are so iconic but there's still a lot of wiggle room to do fun stuff but make them feel like the same characters
Nintendo: "We're bringing back Mushroom Village from the original Mario Party!"
Wow! And the unique Toads will return too, right?
Nintendo: "..."
A-and the... unique Toads will return too... right?
"Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door" came out in the US 14 years ago today. Words can't describe how excited Teenage Carl was in 2004. It remains one of my favorites of all time & I YEARN for a proper sequel.
To celebrate, here's a sneak peek at my current

Apparently there's a specific Pokkén Tournament controller for the Switch that allows a fan-made program to "print" art into Splatoon via automated button prompts??
But there's still a lot of art you can tell is being made by hand that's super impressive, it's crazy.
Finally got around to watching all the seasonal "Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse" specials!
Special shout-out to Scrooge's boyfriend and Scrooge's girlfriend.
Hey hey! My latest short for the

, "Harp Lessons," is out today. Grab some taffy, break out your precarious Tetris slabs, and give it a watch!
Mario + Obscure = MARIOBSCURE! 🍄
Here's a roundup of all *31* pieces I made for my personal October drawing challenge this year. I'm really proud of this whole set and had a lot of fun making it!
@BeaPeaBear
I'm always baffled by the very, very specific way he always manages to simultaneously cram as many frames as humanly possible into every motion and still have them all come out as stilted and disorienting as humanly possible.
We got a quality 'big lovable lug' a few years later in Kristoff, but Extra Large Eugene looks like if he tripped in my direction I'd end up dead in a him-shaped crater in the ground, which gains him a sizable amount of Hunk Points.

I remember going through a very VERY brief phase where I pretended to have an imaginary friend because TV shows simply convinced me it was a thing kids did. I got bored of the bit pretty fast.
Mario, Rabbid Peach, and their friends are back!
Embark on a cosmic adventure and bring order back to the galaxy when

There’s a hearty compilation of

Zelda shorts on their channel today with fresh reactions and commentary from Arin & Danny!
My short, “Harp Lessons,” pops up around 14:30. Arin likes my animation’s ✨visual flair✨
In terms of sheer technical polish, Mario games look better than ever. But the increasing visual standardization of Mario as a whole, for the sake of brand recognition, ends up making that polish feel sterile. Every deviation is sandpapered into oblivion.
Here's my heftiest chunk of rough animation from Episode 1 of

Dead End: Paranormal Park releases today! In honor of this momentous occasion, I redrew the fan art I made for
@hamishsteele
's original Dead End short waaaay back in 2014. 🐶🕯🔦👻
I stand by my assertion over the years that some games do, indeed, look better at 30fps to me. Some games at 60fps don't bother me at all, and other just look... gross? "Someone left the motion smoothing on the TV and everything looks uncanny" type gross. It makes my eyes cranky.
I don't wanna let another Biceptember slip by without sharing any biceps! Here's a rough flexing animation I made 9 years ago but never shared. 💪💪💪
2015 Carl was MUCH more shy about liking gigantic muscles compared to 2024 Carl, who won't shut the hell up about them.
Season 1 complete!
Here's every Adventure Time character I drew throughout my rewatch of episodes 1-26.
Early Adventure Time is extra silly and extra meandering. It sows a lot of seeds for what the series blossoms into, but definitely takes a hot minute to find its footing.

For example: Mario Party 3 embraced its technical limitations, stylizing its environments to look like an actual board game with 2D pop-up book elements. Nintendo will never do that again. Woody Woods in the remake is... woods. It's just woods. Polished, too-perfect woods.

Hearing "Mmm... monkey," makes me laugh since, isolated from context, it becomes Oogway just thinking about how neat he thinks monkeys are.
Also the word 'monkey' is inherently amusing, haha.
The jump from webisodes to TV started off rocky, but the unabashed silliness of its setting & characters, along with the titular Magiswords, were goofy fun! The show hit its stride by Season 2... which deserved better than being burned through at 6am after the plug was pulled. 🐐

Modern mainline Mario: "Follow the model standards, to the letter. We have a BRAND to uphold here, people. Marketing doesn't want us changing anyone up TOO much..."
Modern mainline Kirby: "Hey, let's completely alter King Dedede's proportions again, just for the heck of it!"
This October I'm going to make my drawing challenge doodling Mario characters and enemies that don't get much love. The kind that only show up in one game or rarely/never get any fan art.

Throughout all of Splatoon 2 AND Splatoon 3, essentially across the entire lifespan of the Switch, I never once won a 100x match. Then, at the tail end of the Grand Festival, I score two in one night.
