My contribution to Arcane Survivor Jayce! It was the first time I did animations with transitions. All in all, I had a smashing good time animating him!

My first shipped character, yay!! This was my first creature animation done during my first three months at Studio Wildcard. I was happy to have my first creature potentially being a menace to other dinos out in the wild🦖!

This was 5 months in! 🐱

These aren't the full animations returning back to idle, I grabbed some clips displaying my two cat animations from the trailer. I was responsible for the cat swatting the toy mouse and drinking the bowl of milk.

Hall of Legends Kai'Sa! I'm honored to contribute to Uzi's induction into the Hall of Legends through Kai'Sa's animations! It was fun pushing her acrobatics in her kit, especially in her recall. The team did a great job!

It's been 30 years of A Goofy Movie, and 31 years since we briefly lived in Paris while my dad worked on it! Truly one of the coolest things as a kid, to hang out at the studio or watch pencil tests over dinner.♥️

Also eternally grateful to mom for secreting away a bunch of original model sheets:

For our first skeet or whatever, we'd really love to provide more financial support for our GDC scholar cohort this year- to kick it up a bit, the board will personally match up to $5000 in donations. Help us support the future of game dev animation- no donation is too small!

Happy 20th anniversary to Capsule's "Judy Jedy", an underrated trilogy of music videos produced by Ghibli.

If you live in New York, you can catch them in a theater at the end of the month.

Arcane Survivor Jayce! I took so much inspiration from the amazing artists at Fortiche when animating Jayce. It was fun pushing Jayce’s weapon to feel weighty and corrupted in his gameplay. The team did amazing bringing this tired guy to life!

Shinichiro Watanabe : "I paid a lot of attention to skin color. Also to using multiple languages. Lots of times when you watch anime, the characters all have white skin — all the characters in fantasy stories all have white skin, which I never liked," Watanabe said: Cowboy Bebop The Jazz Messengers
