Started in 2023, finished in 2025 - finish what matters to you!
I began this hip hop dance (inspired by @urbandancecamp) to challenge my animation skills. It didn't disappoint - dance is hard! After a long break, it's done.
Good luck finishing what matters to YOU!

Already a year ago, I animated this giant creature for the GreedFall 2 trailer.
Animating massive beasts is all about selling weight and impact—slow, deliberate movements, heavy follow-through, and earth-shaking impacts.
Loved working on this one! 💀🔥

Going through some old playblasts and found my very first sync attack, from Heavenly Sword. Animated around 2004!

Time for a takedown breakdown!
Here's a short behind the scenes of how I go about creating a scene like this. Complex animation can be overwhelming! I love using simple previs assets as I figure things out.

This reminds me of a pixelation/stop motion video that I made with my Dad when I must have been around 15. Racing around the garden on a chair against my radio controlled car, it eventually skids, crashing off camera and my Dad chucked dirt in shot to add to the effect 😅 Love this alternate reality.

Animating a dodge? Check this out!
Which video game has the best dodge animation?
Yes it's a silly question, just roll with it.

Awesome to see this again Liam!
An older piece that I'm still very happy with! Done during my time at iAnimate with @rickyframes.bsky.social.

Video Game Animators, where you at?
I've created a new starter pack and added a few folks to get the ball rolling.
If you're a video game animator (specifically) then drop your handle in the replies.
