COMMISSION INFORMATION

I am finally opening them and offering my services. As I'm only just starting out I will likely be limiting myself to 3 Slots per month until I get into a more comfortable work flow.

DMs are open to discuss what I can draw and for exchanging Discord IDs.

In Paper Mario, Mario has 8 partners. However, there are enough unused and scrapped partners referenced in the game's files to make another full party. Here is a glimpse of an alternate reality with all of Mario's potential partners.

Now he’s ready to be implemented into the game, where he can be tired of the players antics as they get up to no good in The Hearth and Harbour.

Then, after the colour pass, one final step - when I’m happy with it, I flatten the whole thing, and keyframe distort transforms onto it to add more squash and stretch. Because transforms can tween, this pushes the animation further and hides that he only has 9 frames total.

This is also when we’re animating the fabric to help sell the overall motion - it follows a frame or so after he does, which adds weight to the animation.

The next step is tie-down - tightening anatomy and making sure each part of Cyril moves in a smooth arc and doesn’t jitter around.

We use anticipation and overshoot frames at the start and end of a movement to imply the characters are moving a little more than they actually are.

For this kind of animation, Cyril has to start and end in the same position. Using his sprite as a base, we roughly sketch out the key frames - important poses in an animation.

The iso characters are small on screen, and we use limited animation techniques to stay within scope.

The first step is to bully our dev director @thislop.bsky.social into posing for @jessanight.bsky.social to help figure out how best to get Cyril’s personality across.

Cyril, your chef companion, might be the character you interact with the most! Cyril is a down-to-earth and loyal, but very tired, man, given that he works for you, and is also father to five hooligan kids.

Some of the important characters in the game animate when the player interacts with them - this makes them feel alive and responsive!

Ever wondered how hand drawn animation is made for games?

Let’s go through the process of animating a character for our new game The Hearth and Harbour - from start, to finish!

AI is dying. Repost to make it die faster.
👀 | OpenAI is reportedly burning cash fast, with losses projected to reach $14B in 2026 and a possible cash shortfall by 2027.

Analysts say AI profitability was overestimated, as rising data center and inference costs could lead to a $207 BILLION industry shortfall by 2030.
