For indie creators, the weekend isn't just for rest, it's for working on bringing our ideas to life. This is what I worked on this weekend.

I put my most recent clips together to see how they flow. I’m not a pro, just a creator on a journey, trying to build something bigger piece by piece. Can’t wait to share the final with Jumbie.

Breaking Down My Okira Sequence! 🎬✨
I’m not a pro animator—just sharing my process! For Okira’s movement, I studied contemporary dance for grace & ribbon dancing for her sleeves. Her teleporting feels like pushing away one reality & stepping into another. Really happy with this one! 💫 #Animation

It's been a while since I animated Okira, the lead from Celflux. I drew from contemporary dance to shape her fluid yet powerful movements, and I’m happy with the result.
Like & share if you think it’s cool. 🎬✨

Here’s how I create a *Jumbie* sequence
1️⃣ **Linework**: The foundation for poses & timing—time-consuming but crucial.
2️⃣ **Flat Colors**: Adds form & depth, not just filling spaces.
3️⃣ **Composition**: Lighting & effects create a polished, cinematic finish.
Like & share for more!"

"Animation is the imitation of life." Chuck Jones' words remind me that great animation isn’t just movement—it’s about emotion, personality, and believability. For Jumbie, I’m getting closer to capturing her wild, powerful spirit. Still, more to do, but here’s my latest progress

Like many others, I was excited to see the new Superman trailer, so I had to put together a quick illustration of Mr. Terrific. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie and this character on screen.

When I say 80s action cartoons inspire me, this is what I mean. It's okay to be inspired. It's not OK to copy. Maybe one day my work will inspire someone as I was inspired.
