A little late for the holidays, but I really wanted to try animating Annette Marnat's gorgeous Frozen 2 Nokk concepts. Moho for rig/anim, After Effects for compositing. ❄️

Some early Moho moth rigs and tests for My Father's Dragon, with Rosa Ballester Cabo's beautiful designs. I had fun with these guys. 🦋

My character, The Prince, is an old edgelord OC but I let Gary have complete free rein when it came to writing him and some of his quotes are just incredible.

'heir' old last year sketch that got lost on a HD during repair, just threw some tones on. looking forward to Deltarune chapter 2!

Playing around with a simple Moho rig of the Hades Bone Hydra. (based off model sheets courtesy of Studio Grackle)

concept stuff for a nebulous/celestial Morrígan whose strops are worse than RuPaul's 🔥

Sketching aos sí lad's siblings and his elder brother, Croí. The kids rehabilitate wildlife and like to think they can ride the local ponies... they can't. 😬

The film is very much a testament to not only how incredible the crew was but also Cartoon Saloon's production and IT teams who worked tirelessly during lockdown to keep us going. I'm still amazed it got done.

a sad urban aos sí. (all he needs is an electric scooter and bag of cans)

Testing new IK quad builds in Moho, plus my first time animating a big cat... still dunno wtf they're made of.

Wenge sketch

A WIP BOTW effects & Guardian rig test; some of the leg builds corrupted so I might rework it later. Moho & After Effects.

I Can (Not) Draw Evas 3.0 so have some quick marker gestures

Moho Star Fox SNES Arwing controller rig with thruster, beams etc. pro tip: just learn Blender lol

My shot for the @moominreanimatedproject project; also just playing around with brushes and styles in Moho. The audio is slightly off but the sound effects in the show can be a bit playful/goofy. Done with Moho and After Effects.

going through old files and I found scrapped Moho/comp tests of a D20 for the TAZ Animated intro & outro. (3D shape built by @david_ridges, fudged by me in Moho and After Effects)

quick Zelda BOTW teleport effects test with Wind Waker Tingle. Moho and After Effects
