Dan is the goat forreal, so many techniques and tricks are used by the whole team that wouldn't be possible without his brain churning them out
This cut was a REAL challenge!
For Nocturne Episode 3, we wanted Edouard to have a brilliant felt coat with a pattern, but drawing that would be very complex. In his big turnaround shot, I put in a lot of care to make the pattern have shape and dimension. Lotsa steps went into that. Take a look!

Ne Zha 2019 is absolute cinema, interesting story that had some twists and genuinely surprised me, and the animation was stellar.

I got over 7 years of experience in the animation industry and worked on quite a few shows, and have worked on ad campaigns, youtube channels, you name it!

I love showing artists color systems outside of Isaac Newton's color wheel and them looking at it like a biblically accurate angel.

My composting breakdown for this shot from #CastlevaniaNocturne S2 episode 7! Direction by @adamdeats.bsky.social , lead compositor Sofia Puerto. I had so much fun adding in rotating smoke and volumetric lights to accentuate the feeling of depth in this 3D shot.

I love the Castlevania team and I can't believe I've been lucky enough to work with them. I look up to them all, and I'll always be proud of them. Not a day goes by where I don't miss them and my heart doesn't hurt. Working with them was my dream job. I hope my dream will come true again one day

I should probably post some of my old artwork to this site, since I have nothing better to post right now. These were some halloween icons I made in 2014 and 2015. Note the drastic difference in hairstyle

Slower breakdown of that one TINKERHELL cut from my reel, so you can get a better look at the steps involved.
An example of how far you can take source assets and transform them into something wildly different!
Pretty proud of the blood ground FX 🥰
