This one was a real challenge! But it's worth the effort for an opportunity to animate Drolta!

I've waited long enough to post this! Had a lot of fun animating this shot, and working with @samueldeats.bsky.social gorgeous layouts!

Late-night re-posting because for some reason my last upload was super low res!

Anyhoo, still whaling on Erzebet, but now in higher def!

Burn her!

Had some fun doin the 'impact' frames and fire effects on this one, lots of flowy shapes to go around!

Erzebet just gettin' wailed on by two belmonts!

I had a lot of fun with the hair silhouette in this one, not to mention the subtle 3d camera rotation! #CastlevaniaNocturne

I had the great honor of gettting to animate Juste's Ice Squire ability, I was quite happy with how the highlights on the Ice came out! #CastlevaniaNocturne

More Castlevania animation until every one of you goes and watches Nocturne Season 2!

I had a lot of fun mixing effects and night creature animations, like with this large and imposing gentleman!

I was honored when I found out there's a special moniker in our FX library called "Pat Fire". It's great for felling vampires or burning Lisa at the stake!

The sharp eyed among you might even spot it in the latest season of Castlevania Nocturne on Netflix ;)

To celebrate the release of Castlevania Nocturne I thought I'd share some of the earliest animation I did for Castlevania. I found out the other day that these bolts of lightning have seen extensive reuse throughout the series!

Nocturne Season 2 is out on Netflix right now, go check it out!

Hey all you new followers! Did you know I also do a bit of compositing work? It's not a field I ever planned to be experienced in, but after so many short videos through Knights of the Ligh Table, here we are!

Here's how I handled the Eyeball shot in the Frazetta commercial!

Storyboards - Final

If I had a nickle for everytime I've animated a 3d camera rotation of a weapon wielding rider riding on a mount, I'd have two nickles! Which isn't a lot, but it's wierd that it's happened twice.
