Another animation I did at iAnimate. A kick combo.

Been a while. Let's continue. Second animation from the iAnimate game workshops. A sword combo.

First animation I did at iAnimate in 2021: A run cycle for one of their rigs. It was the only rig I ended up using at the workshops. I also staged it using this neat anime city package from the Epic store.

It's 2021, and I keep trying harder animations. More sword swinging, but more complicated movement. Staged in Unreal as well. I think I did pretty well on the upper body and sword, but I found her longs legs really unwieldy at the time. Thanks to Jonathan Cooper and Game Anim.

Last demo reel animation I did in 2020 before I got too busy with some of my last projects as an independent. Learned a lot with this one when it comes to motion trails, as I quickly realized that what is important in a sword swinging animation is how the tip of the sword moves

Yet another animation piece I made in 2020 for my portfolio to bump out old motion graphics on my demo reel in order to join the video game industry. I'm still quite happy with this one. The fluid tail movement really sells it.

Another animation from 2020 when I was building my portfolio directed towards video games. I didn't know about layers in Maya at the time, which would have made this way easier. The settling after the bite is a bit stiff as well, but it is what it is.

Portfolio building animation I made back in 2020. At the time I was working with motion graphics for ads in After Effects and Cinema 4D, but really wanted to work on video games, so I made a series of animation loops to replace old stuff in my demo reel - and it worked!

Some screenshots of environment art for a target footage for a 3D platformer idea I was working on back in 2022. It's put on ice right now, but will return when the time is right.
