Character Designer on My Adventures with Superman | Prev: Animator & Lead Storyboard Artist on Castlevania: Nocturne / Skull Island / CSV S4 | Views are my own
Drives me nuts when I see an artist ask another (often pro) artist what brushes they're using, and it devolves into a "These won't make you draw better!!" scolding. 99% of the time, people just like the texture of it or it seems like it handles nice, it's not that deep dude
1st ugly trailer of "Who Said Death Was Beautiful?", a japanese animated feature film coming in theaters on December 22.
It's using motion capture and AI...

Layouts are a big reason behind this; for example the OG shot there is a slight upshot and gives more depth to the characters and background, whereas the reboot shot is a direct head-on / orthographic view that flattens everything

Exactly. I mean, I can cut a steak with a spoon, but despite also being a specialized sliver of metal, a knife makes it easier don't you think??
Animation cel commission for the fabulous and talented

Example line work I did with the brush I made, Xerox Pencil, for CSP. Made a site to host it, and I plan to add more things to it over time like tutorials and stuff.
Site addy is in the image, or in the reply below ⬇️
What AI art tech could be useful for if it was repurposed inside of art programs for artist use: inputting your own rendering style to help block out underpaintings
What isn't useful: stealing from thousands of artists and pretending it's on par with curated decision-making
When I'm hunting and don't want to be spotted because it hinges on whether or not I eat that day, I definitely scream at my target from a foot away so they can be like "uh oh wow so powerful" and give them a head start before I chase them
This is more in regards to a mindset, but "art you like" and "art you [want to] make" can be and often are two different things. It's important to pin these feelings down or else you are constantly disappointed you're not doing something in a way you don't actually want to do
Artists, what tip really blew your mind and unlocked a new dimension of improvement for you? It can be technical or more personal development oriented!
I'll explode if I wait to say so on here, but I start my dream job as a storyboard artist at Powerhouse Animation on the 15th 🙏✨
I can't wait to work with both new and familiar awesome folks!! I've been so excited I can barely get any sleep
It's

Recruiters can DM here or email!
My current contract is ending next month, I'm looking for a new full-time job as a character/3D artist or storyboarding, I wanna work with cool people and make cool things! Moving is not an issue. Email me

Thanks for looking! ✌
Straight up fuck this man and this article and anyone who tries to say some shit about how AI “won’t replace jobs” but also the “lmao get a real job” attitude of this article is so off putting
P.S. I used my Xerox Pencil brush I made for CSP (and duped for other programs, too), you can download it for free at my site in the pic below.
If you want an extra crunchy look like I did here, just use the brush however on a layer, rasterize it, then vectorize it.

Tbh one thing I absolutely hate is that nearly everything is specifically for people who live with other people. I only want to live alone, but everything is priced in a way that's for at least 2+. A 400 sq ft tiny house I want costs fucking $1800 a month!!
YOU. ARTIST!
Show me a WIP, an abandoned piece, a sketch, or something you just never shared before!
Let's prove that all of your artwork is worthy no matter how polished or perfect it is!
Part one of my May single key cel commission batch! These lovely characters are for the fantastic

The entire industry is in a bad way right now, the majority are without work and it's awful out there. There is no shame in getting an unrelated job to pay the bills until more animation work comes in. Don't give up!
This is the best thing I've ever worked on and I got to work on it with the best people. I'm so proud of the Nocturne team, and the biggest thank you to Sam for believing in me 🥺🙏 I hope to do right by you and the team always! Love you guys, and a job well done!!
I see this so often and it drives me nuts, but: If you see someone apologizing to a group you're not a part of, you're not in a position to accept that apology, and in an even further position to tell that someone they did nothing wrong
Thinking about how a truly scary design needs an element of goofiness to it in order for it to properly freak one out, otherwise there's the risk of it looking cool instead of terrifying. Goofiness in design is crucial to making any design memorable, I will die on this hill
The animation and game industries are exhausting. Layoffs are always fucked. I'm so sorry to y'all affected by this and I hope y'all will be okay. Hard to stay positive but do what you need to get by and don't stop creating, that's what keeps you sane
GOP are terrorists. General strike, riot, gather at their houses, all of it. We REALLY need to coordinate something now because the time to play nice is long since over
The reserved Ohara is a skilled flutist, but she’s feeling under pressure due to an upcoming concert.
Fed up with it all, she runs away to Glaseado Mountain, under the pretext of doing the academy’s Treasure Hunt activity.

IT'S OUT!! 🌘 A big thank you to our phenomenal team, I will never not gush about how wonderful everyone is and how proud I am of them. I can't believe I work with y'all. Love you always, guys

One of my bosses committed suicide at work (across from my cubicle) on a Friday and the other boss made us come into work the following Monday as if we weren't traumatized.
THE TRAILER IS HERE 🎉 One of the shots I boarded is in the trailer! This show is a lot of fun and I can't wait for folks to see it, so proud of the Legendary's Skull Island team here at Powerhouse!!
