Originally from the Bronx, now in Richmond, VA. Independent artist/animator/filmmaker. Big fan of tokusatsu (Japanese special effects), anime, animation, and comics. Among my own personal projects are REKIRA THE SUPER-MONSTER and LILY MERRIWEATHER.
At last, the first official teaser for my original kaiju project, REKIRA THE SUPER-MONSTER! Animated in Blender.

And yes, that's Rekira's new original roar (which was completed last year, after 15 years in the making)! I'm extremely proud of the result.

My most complex animation yet! Here's the test footage for the Dynamic Heralds, the superhero team protagonists of my original kaiju project, REKIRA THE SUPER-MONSTER. My tribute to Super Sentai and THE INCREDIBLES. This one took me 6 nights!

Walk & pose test for Verena Freston, one of the main characters of my original kaiju project, REKIRA THE SUPER-MONSTER. This is the first time I've animated a female human character. Animated in Blender in a mere 2 nights.

Run test for Raitaro Hayama, one of the main characters of my original kaiju project, REKIRA THE SUPER-MONSTER. As you can tell, this is my most complex animation yet! Could this be my graduation piece!?! 🤣

Here's the first, extended animation test for REKIRA THE SUPER-MONSTER! This is the first time I've done full-action character animation, and I'm very proud of this! To think I would do this at 50...
